At tho suggestion of Alderman Hubcr tho
first street to bo paved will be North Main
street nnd it Is expected that work on
that thoroughfaro will bo commenced
within two weeks at the latest. It was on
tho motion of Alderman Hammer that tho
council decided to uso tho cement filler on
all tho streets ordered paved with brick.
Alderman Lougeo strongly opposed the
selection of I)cs Moines brick for tho top
courso and fought hard to have tho Gales
burg product substituted In its place. Tho
entire council, with tho exception of Alder
man McDonald, was against him. Lougco
objected to tho contract being awarded at
tho prices quoted In Wlckham's bid, al
leging that the local brick men had entered
. r " . . .. ... . i,.,....-,. ,,,,
" P0"1- " s;l(l that ho believed that
all competition had been eliminated.
Leonard Kverest filed a protest against
tho paving of North Klghth street In which
ho asserted that the action of tho board in
letting the contract nt that tlmo would bo
Illegal. When asked for an explanation
ho said that ho understood that certain
technicalities had not been compiled with,
but readily admitted he had not rend the
new paving Inw. Ho stnted further that
ho was willing to drop asphaltum and
nccept brick provided tho price was right.
He thought the bids entered were too high.
J. J. Hess, who appeared for himself and
other property owners in tho Fourth ward,
addressed tho council, asking that It re
consider its action in turning down asphal
tum. Ho said that tho property owners on
tho streets It wns desired to havo paved
with asphaltum would obllgato themselves
to pay for all repairs at tho end of tho ten
years' gunrantee. Ho said they did not
wish to threaten tho council with Injunc
tion proceedings or litigation of nny kind;
all thoy asked was that their wishes be
given duo nnd proper consideration.
Alderman McDonald's ordinance requiring
all street railways to equip their cars with
fenders January 1, 1901, wns brought up
and passed.
On motion of Alderman Lougeo it was de
cided to grade Avenue U between Eighth
nnd Eleventh streets.
After disposing of some minor matters

MAY NOT fit) TO SIOUX CITY.
Prof. (.'IHTord llnsn't Decided -Whether
He Will l.enve Thin City.
Prof. W. N. Clifford, principal of tho
Council Bluffs High school, had not yester
day decided whether to accept the position
of principal of the High school at Sioux
City, to which ho was elected Mondny night.
Hie. relations with tho Board of Education
hero are most cordial and tho board will bo
very loath to lose him. The salnry offered
by Sioux City is tho same ns Prof. Clifford
receives here, although the chances for an
Increased salary in Sioux City aro said to
be most favorable. The -board there offered
to raise tho retiring principal's salary from
$1,600 to $1,S00 It ho would otay, with n fur
ther Increase a year later to $2,000.
While Sioux City is a largor city than
Council Bluffs nnd possibly offers more op
portunity for advancement, Prof. Clifford
stated last evening that ho was not at all
anxious to leavs this city, where he has tho
full support of the board and with which his
relations were of the moot cordial character.
Tho only question that would enter Into his
accepting the position In Sioux City would bo
the fact tint tho chances nt present for a
now High school building, which was so
much needed, seemed mo3t unsatisfactory.
President Henry and other members of
tho board in speaking of tho election of
Prof. Clifford to tho Sioux City principal
ship eald the appointment was a great sur
prise to them nnd thoy all sincerely hoped
that ho would decide to remain hero. Ills
work hore, thoy said, hnd been most satis
factory and In full accord with the board.
Prof, Clifford has been principal of tho
High school here for two ycara, coming hero
from Des Moineo to Bucceed Prof. II. B.
Hayden on his appointment as. superinten
dent of the city schools.

by tho authorities. Tho young woman Is
fairly good looking and her clothing Is of
good quality, although at present somewhat
bedraggled from exposure lo the storm of

passed by tho Santa Clara nudcncla upon
Joso Garcia, a Spaniard, who was formerly
lieutenant of guerrillas nnd who was
charged with killing two Cuban prisoners
while they were endeavoring to mnke their
escapo during tho war. Tho Cubans at
tempted to arrest Garcia last year, but
Senor Capote ruled against them on the
ground that tho decree of Governor General
Brooko hnd pardoned all such offenses com
mltted during tho war. Garcia has appealed
to tho supreme court hero. Tho Cuban aB
well as tho Spanish papers condemn tho
proceedings agalnet Garcia as an outrage
and deplore tho spirit of revongo manifested
by hla prosecutors.
A largo meeting of workmen was held In
Havana last evening to protest against tho
exorbitant rents, All tho speakers expressed
themselves ns having no confidence In the
promiso of tho municipality to erect tene

HURON, S. D., July 17. (Special,) Brown
Bros.' lumber and conl sheds, togother with
the engine, saw machinery and a lot of
wood, coal and lumber, wero wholly de
troyod by fire early Saturday. In the oft
ernoon of Friday fire was discovered near
tho ofllce in tho main building. An alarm was
turned in and tho prompt response of the fire
department saved tho structure. Saturday
morning's fire was In a different place and
this leads to the belief that Incendiaries are
responsible for the fire. Tho lors aggre
gates something over $3,000 and falls heavily
upon hard-working, Industrious men. There
was small Insurance on the main building
only.

SHAW MAY NAME HIM TO SUCCEED GEAR
Governor In Aoked to Make n State
ment oil the Subject, hut Itefiises
to Siienk t'ntll After Funeral
of Late Senntor.
DES MOINES, July 17. (Special Tele
gram.) If through tho Intervention of Provl
denco Minister Conger has escaped tho fury
of the Chinese fanatics, and If he shall live
until relief reaches I'ekln, ho will, accord
ing to tho statements of prominent poli
ticians, he nppolnted by Governor Shaw to
succeed Senator Gear. Few persons can be
found who stilt cling to tho belief that
Minister Conger Is alive, practically all hope
having departed, but tho mention of the
nnme of the martyred minister In connection
with the sonatorship is Important because
It gives at least a slight indication of the
governor's feeling on tho senatorial suc
cession. It was told on good authority today that
Govornor Shaw had talked seriously of ap
pointing Conger In case n vacancy wns
caused by tho removal of Senntor Gear. It
was at tho time the first reports of Senntor
Gear's condition were sent out from Wash
ington that tho governor U said to have
confided to a few of his closo friends that If
tho worst should happen he would nppolnt
Minister Conger. The governor Is said to
havo given exprfs3lon to the belief that
Conger would relinquish the ofllce of Amer
ican representative in China for the larger
honor of United States senator for a short
term. Whether the governor wao right in
this and whether Conger would, In caie of
his appointment, havo stepped out at tho
nd of the term for which he was appointed,
leaving the field clear to Governor Shaw,
will probably never be known.
limn Crop Iteport,
Tho crop report Issued by the Iowa
weather and crop service today says:
Thn week u-ns cenernlly fair nnd dry
during tho six working days, affording
favorablo conditions fC haying nnd har
vesting operations In nil sections, und tho
time wns well Improved. In the southern
hectlon haying Is nbout completed nnd har
vesting small cram is wen aovanceu.
Returns of early threshing In that section
Indicate a better yield than had been ex
pected. In the central and northern sec
tions harvesting Is well becun nnd grain Is
maturing rapidly, promising fair to good
yield. Tho chief drawback Is that grain
of heavy growth Is badly lodged, but loss
from that cause will not bo large. Mnny
of the earlier reports expressed fears of In
jury to corn and other Immature crops
from effects of dry weather, but these ap
prehensions have been hannllv dispelled bv
copious showers thnt fell In nearly every
county on the Hth and 16th. Tho showers
generally fell moderately and the moisture
was nearly all absorbed by tho soil, but
our observer at Prlmghar reports n totnl of
12.8-3 Inches nnd nt the station near Alta
the amount Is reported to bo 6.30 Inches.
line some local damage mny result from
excess theso showers have been of In
estimable value to tho state at large. The
condition of tho corn crop Is still vry
promising, moro than sustaining the esti
mates of July 1.
A prayer service In the interest of Amer
ican missionaries in China was a feature of
the Midland Chautauqua assembly today. It
was called in respenso to tho appeal which
appeared in the Shanghai dispatches asking
all Christian people of tho United Staten to
Join In special prayers for tho guidance of
the government nnd the speedy succor of
Americans and native converts In extreme
peril In China. The service was held In
the Hall of Philosophy and was led by Dr.
Daniel Shepardson. Thoro was a large at
tendance and tho hymns nnd prayers wero
nung and spoke with unusual earnestness.
Shnw Quiet on Sennlnrshlp.
Governor Shaw reached Des Moines at
noon today over the Northwestern and went
directly to the stnto house. Shaw was asked
to make a statement with regard to tho
scnatorehlp, in order thnt tho gossip that
s heprd on tho subject might ho at least
partially oet at rest. Ho replied that oven
though he wero on thn point of making an
appointment he would have nothing to say
prior to tho laying away of the dead Burllng-
on statesman. Being Informed that tho
public would llko to know whether or not
he would take action In tho matter at onco
ho Insisted thnt while ho would say nothing
for publication it would be pretty safo for
any newspaper to predict thnt nothing
would be dono until after the state conven
tion is over.
In tho hope of getting something definite
on one or another of tho points in tho sena
torial matter the reporter volunteered tho
Information that he had in articles already
published assumed that tho governor was
himself a candidate for the United States
senate and tho governor simply smiled and
pounded tho desk with his forefinger. Gov
ernor Shaw did say that he was free nnd
unpledged and that no man hnd a single
string on tho appointment. Further than
this he would not go. Tho governor will
attend the funeral of Senator Gear.

Ciielicl Murder.
OEOHdETOWN', Ky., July 17 The pro
ceedings In tho Powers case wero mado moro
InlerentliiK todny hy tho introduction of sev
eral witnesses who gave testimony uainst
tho defendant. The most Interesting wit
ness of tho day from n standpoint discon
nected from either side of tho caso was
Miss Lucy Ilrock, tho sweetheart of tho
young defendant. It is probablo that Culton,
Noakes or Ooldon will bo put on tha stand
tomorrow to further prove tho alleged con
spiracy.
Klnley Anderson, who wns testifying
when tho court adjourned yesterday,
resumed his testimony. Wltnees said that
on January 21 Caleb Powers told him a
crowd of mountaineers were going to Frank
fort to intimidate tho legislature, and, If
necessary, to kill enough domocrnts to
glvo the republicans n majority. He said:
'Powers told me Gocbcl would never live
to bo governor nnd said ho (Powers) would
kill him If nobody e!e would."
The conversation took place on the day
preceedlng the advent of the 1,200 moun
taineers Into Frankfort. Witness said he
heard Powers and others talking nbout
Ooebcl wearing a coat of mall, but somo of
them said that he could bo killed anyway.
Powers was In conference with cx-Sccrctary
of Stnte Charles Flnley, Wharton (loldnn,
Ilobert Noakes nnd others. Only onco dur
ing thlo testimony did tho defendant's fea
tures show signs of agitation. Under cross
examination the witness stated he had
called on Colonel T. C. Campbell in Cin
cinnati with Lieutenant tlrndley. Ho be
came confused nnd could not tell who ac
companied him to Colonel Campbell, though
ho asserted several people wero with him
at the time. Ho denied that either Justun
or Arthur Oncbel assisted him in getting
employment In Cincinnati and denied that
his trip to Cincinnati was for the purpose
of becoming a witness in the Powers trial.
The witness denied that he had been prom
ised compensation for his evidence. It de
veloped thnt young Anderson hnd mndo nn
affidavit, which is In possession ot Colonol
Campbell, and tho defenso nBked that this bo
produced in court. Tho court ruled that It
must bo produced.
On redirect examination witness said that
he did not volunteer as a witness, but re
ceived a letter while nt Knoxvlllc, Tenn.,
asking him to go to Cincinnati nnd telling
him that ho was wanted ns n witness.
Miss Lucy Brock of London, Laurel county,
was tho next witness. Sho know tho defend
ant well and had corresponded with hlra for
over two years past. Caleb Powers railed
on her in January, Ha told witness he was
getting up a crowd of 1,000 mountain men to
go to Frankfort, "so that In case tho demo
crats robbed them of tho state offices they
could tako caro of themselves."
Witness said Powers had $1,100 in bills. He
told her Governor Taylor furnished tho
money nud it was to bo used to bring tho
men to Frankfort.
Miss Drock said Powers told her the plan
to tako tho 1,000 mountain men to Frankfort
was Governor Tnylor's creation. Tho do
fense did not cross-examine tho witness. A
recoss was taken till nfter noon.
I). M. Woodson, tho civil englneor who
mndo the measurements on tho stato house
yard at the tlmo of the finding of ho bul
let In the trea, wns recalled, but told noth
ing now.
Senator Newton Frazler of Shelby county,
who was standing between the legislative
and cxecutlvo buildings when the assassina
tion occurred, said ho heard tho shots. Saw
no ono in tho doorway and the shots were
undoubtedly fired from the executive build
ing. Captain J. F. Hnwn of tho Barbourvlllo
military academy testified to conversations
between himself nud tho Powers brothors
touching tho movements of his compnny.
He said that John Powers on Jnnunry 23
asked him to tako hiB compnny to Frankfort.
Powers, ho said, wanted tho soldiers to go
In citizens' clothes, with uniforms, guns
and ntnmunition concealed. Witness re
fused. Powers next day nsked him if he
would not turn over tho company to one
of tho lieutenants and ho ngreed to do It.
Caleb Powors, ho said, nsked him to deliver
tho koy of tho armory to Lieutenant Gib
son, but ho refused to do ho unless Powors
would telegraph to Frankfort for nn order
from tho adjutant general. On cross-ox-amlnntion
witness said Caleb Powors told
him ho wanted tho military company and
other mountaineers to go to Frankfort for
tho effect It would hnvo on the legislature.
Captain James K. Watts of tho AVilliams
burg military company told of a conversa
tion with John Powers relatlvo to taking
