COUNCIL IN A QUANDARY ON THE MATTER
Mnjor Fnvnr Thirteenth Street, lint
the M lister .Street People 1'ut I p
n StroiiK Argument for
Their Locality.
The city council meeting as a committee
of the whole yesterday afternoon, among
other matters, discussed that of tho pro
posed bridge at tho cast end of Mynstcr
street to open that thorotlghfaro by con
ncctlng It with North Main street. As tho
sticct Is at present, there Is no outlet to
It at tho cast end. For years tho prop
erty owners on tho street havo besought
the city to build this bridge. Two years
ago J. I). Johnson, then alderman from
ll'C Scconl ward, broiiglt. up tho matter and
urged tho building of the bridge, but owing
to tho expense and lack of funds It was
dropped.
When Mynstcr street was Included among
the streets ordered paved tho property
owners revived tho matter and Insisted
that If they had to bear tho expense of
Improving tho thoroughfare It was only
fair that tho city should build tho bridge
and give them an outlet to their street.
Kstiraates made on tho cost of the bridge
vary all tho way from $5,000 to fS.000, but
City Knglneer Ktnyro is of tho opinion
that It ought not to cost more than $5,000.
The brldgo will have to he about fifty to
sixty feet long and will strike Main
street just south of the present brldgo
over tho creek. Ily building the bridge
on tho "skew" Knglnecr Ktnyro figures that
its length could bo shortened smnowhat,
thilH materially reducing tho cost.
Tho aldermen visited the proposed loca
tion of tho brldgo nnd looked the ground
over, but with tho exception of Aldcrmnn
Hover, did not express themselves as in
favor of building, owing to tho cost.
Thero Is something over $5.1)00 In tho
city bridge fund, but out of this will have
to como tho cost of tho new brldRo over
Indian creek at Fifth nvenile, tho con
tract for which has been let to C. K. II
Campbell. This bridge Is to cost $2,fi33, of
which amount tho motor company has
ngrooil to pay $800. When this brldgo
paid for It will leave but little over $3,700
in the brldgo fund. Slnco the Illinois Con
trnl railway built Its depot at Avenuo I
residents on North Thirteenth street have
complained that they havo no outlet onto
Broadway except by Rolng several blocks
to tho west or tho east. Mnyor Jennings
believes tho city ought to erect a bridge
over Indian creek at Thirteenth street to
give the people on that street an outlet
to Hroadway. Tho brldgo would fitrlko
Hroadway Just east of the motor compa
ny's trestle brldgo over tho creek nbout
thirty feet cast of tho lnrge brldgo on
Hroadway over tho creek. A brldgo such
as would be needed there, It Is estimated
would cost In tho neighborhood of $2,000
Tho committee of tho whole decided to
recommend the curbing of Twelfth street
frnm First avenuo south. In times
heavy rain tho wnter from nroadwny flows
down tho street and tlnds an outlet on
the adjoining lots. It is believed that by
curblnR tho street tho water can bo pro
vented from runnlnR over tho lots.
Tho committee also investigated several
cases of alleged damage to property by
reason of tho flood of July lti.

I'miCIMvlMNGS OF TIIH CITY C'Ol NCII..
Wnler Mnlu Hesolutlon Vetoed mill
rnvliiK Contractu I.nlil Over.
Mayor Jennings returned to tho city
council last night without his signature
the resolution ordering tho Water com
pany to lay a main on South Sixth street
nnd plncc a hydrant nt tho corner of Thir
teenth avenuo and Sixth street. His
reasons for vetoing the rcsolutlonaro that
tho expense, would Involve nn excess of
tho npproprlntlon. would set a .dangerous
precedent nnd would put additional strain
on the general fund, already overburdened
- - , , , - , , ..
by reason of tho fact that tho water le
allowed by law Is too small to meet tho
contract sum.
Tho approving of the contracts with K.
A. WIckham for tho paving of tho third
group of streets was postponed until next
Tuesday night, as the city engineer had
not hi report complete, showing tho lots
thnt would not bo nhlo to bear the cost
of tho Improvement, nnd tho amount that
tho city would have to carry. Alderman
I.ougco mado a determined tight to havo
the contracts drawn up on the old printed
form used by tho city two years ugo, In
place of tho contracts prepared by tho
city solicitor. The nlderman from the
Second ward saw a number of defects, In
his opinion, in the contracts drawn up by
City Solicitor Wndsworth, but on motion
of Alderman Clark It was decided to adopt
tho form of contract as prepared by tho
city solicitor.
Tho street commissioner muddle came up
for another round and on motion of Alder
man Hoyer was mado a special order of
business for Tuesday night, following the
approving of the paving contracts. Alder
man Huber, chairman of tho streets and
alleys commlttco, was not present, and for
this reason no action was taken last night.
Aldorman l.ougeo attempted to havo tho
council instruct Hnrden to report to tho
streets und alloys committee for instruc
tion, but his motion wns defeated, as It
was shown that ho had been given such
orders nt tho last meeting of tho council.
Aldermen Doyer und Clark, members of thU
committee, reported that Harden had so
far failed to apply to them for Instruc
tions. Some objection wns raised to tho
employment of Vic Keller ns a substitute
street commissioner, and a motion was
mado by Alderman l.ougeo to havo him
discharged. This motion, however, failed
of n second nnd tho matter was finally
allowed to drop after it had been dis
cussed back and forth for about an hour.
The report of the committee of the whole
recommending the curbing of Twelfth
Btrcct, south from First avenue, was con
curred in.
Tho report of the Judiciary committee

Dr. K. C. Smith. James M. Fonlon nnd
B. A. Troutmnn, a committee from the
local lodge of Klks, appeared before tho
council and naked for permission to fence
off a portion of ono of the streets facing
Hayllss park for tho purpose of holding an
Klks' carnlvnl or fair during tho early
part of next month, Tho request was
granted under certain restrictions
Tho ucw bond of Nelson & Olson for the
curbing contract was approved and tho
mayor authorized to sign the contract
after tho curbing on Tenth avenuo had
been cut 'out. Tho abutting property
owners on this street havo decided to curb
with Colorado sandstone in place of ar
tificial stone, as the contVact calls for, and
this part of the work will be done by prl-
vato contract.
Despite tho protest of some of the rosl-
dents in the vlrlnlty, Cornelius Johansen
was granted a permit to conduct tho sa
loon nt Twenty-first street anil Hroadway.
This Is the saloon which was closed by
the police a few days ngo on account of
the numerous fights that havo occurred
thero recently.
Alderman Ilrown asked what progress
had been made in tho establishing of a
llro alarm box at Sixteenth avenuo and
High street, ordered several weeks ago.
He was Informed by Chairman l.ovott of
tho Arc and light commlttco that after
the work had been commenced, he had
been notllled that there wero no funis
avnllnblo to pay for It and It had
consequently been stopped. When tho box
was ordered Installed It was decided to
pay for It out of the contingent fund and
It has slnco developed that this cannot
be done.

ing nny Issue whatever, tho republicans
will carry moro states than ever before.
As for Iowa, ho urges tho orators to study
every question, meet every Isbuo In argu
ment and give the democrats no ad
vantage by eliminating the money question.
Governor Shaw announced today that he
will not announce tho appointment of a
senator to succeed John Henry Gear be
fore Monday. There is nothing certain
about It then. If he appoints a congress
man It will be early, so that the vacancy
can be filled nt the election. If not a

the nppolntment until after election. Can

governor talked about overybody but me.
Gcorgo K. Hoberts and S. T. Meservcy
havo talked to the governor In my behalf,
Tho governor nnd myself have been friends
for a great many years nnd I bellovo ho

DOUBT STORY OF CONFESSION

One.
SIOUX CITY, Aug. 17. (Special Tele
Sram.) Sloux City police are beginning to
doubt the reliability of the alleged con
fcsslon of Frank Peyton In St. Louis last
week to tho John E. Ilobson murder in
this city last December. While the story
nrlntcd by several St. Louis papers am!
sent out in special telegraphic reports de
clared that Peyton had made a full con
fesslon that would fasten tho crime upon
him, Sioux City's pollco department has
received no official statement of such con
fesstou, although tho St. Louis chief of
pollco has sent one letter of explanation
of tho arrest of tho man. This letter
came In fulfillment of the St. Louis chlcf'i
promise that ho would send full Informa
tlon, and it lends Chief of Police Nelson
of this city to bellovo that the confession
may havo been largely padded. Chief Nel
son, however, has not given up the Idea
that Peyton may know something nbout
tho crime, but other evidence will bo so
cured and no reliance placed on the ol
leged confession nt this time.

Miin.i Chn rncterlxt les of Ills Mrc.
The elder Theodore Roonevelt wan a man
with tho same sane and pr.ietir.il intetrct
In hln fellow-man that his son has shown,
says Jacob A. Rlls in the American Monthly
Review of Review. He was the b,icker of
Chnrltn I.orlng Hruce In his work of gather
ing tho forgotten wnlfs from the city's
atrcclH and of every other sensible charity
In his day. Or. Henry Field told me onno
that he nlwayn. occupied as he wns with
the management of a siiecewsful hiiiineis,
on principle gave one day of tho six to
visiting the poor In their homes. Appar
ently thn analogy between father and son
might bo carried farther, to Include even the
famoiiH round-rohln; for, upon Inn samo au
thority, It was the elder Theodore Ror.hc
velt who went to Washington nfler the first
Hull Run and warned President Lincoln
that he must get rid of Simon Cameron on
secretary of war, with th& roeult thnt Mr.
Stanton, the "organizer of victory," took
his place. When the war was fairly under
way It was Theodore Roosevelt who organ
ized tho nllotment plan, which saved to the
families of RO.000 roldlern of New York
state more than $5,000,000 of their pay; and
when tho war was over he protected the
soldiers against the shark that lay In wait
for them nnd saw to It that they got em
ployment. That was tho father. I have told you
what tho son Is like. A man with red blood
In his veins: a healthy patriot, with no clap
trap Jlngolnm nbout him, but a rugged be
lief In America nnd Kb mission: an Intense
lover of country nnd flag; a vlgorou op
timist, a believer In men, who looks for the
good In them nnd flnd It. Practical In
partisanship; loyal, trusting and gentle as
friend; unrelllsh, modest nn a woman.
clean-handed and clean-hearted, nnd honest
to tho core. In the splendid vigor of his
young manhood he Ih the knlRhtllrnt figure
In American politico today, the fittest ex
ponent of his country's Idea, nnd the model
for Its young sons who aro coming to tako
up tho tank he set them. For their sake I
am willing to glvo him up and ret him
where they can all see and strive to he like
htm. So wo shall have little need of bother
ing about bofK rule nnd misrule hereafter.
We shall farm out the Job of running the
machine no longer; we shall be able to run
it ourselves.
When it conies to that the vice presidency
Is not going to kill Theodore Roosevelt. It
will tako a good deal more than that to
do it.

Off tho coast of Norway is a small Island
called Aarlud, which boastti the unique dis
tinction of being peopled exclusively by
widows. The circumstances under which
this state of affairs was brought nbout aro
no less curious than distressing.
A short time since a man arrived on tho
Island from Hatigesund, on the mainland,
with his wife and family, to participate In
tho spring egg gathering. While testing his
ropes on a cliff preparatory to commencing
hln tiearch ho happened to make a falho
step forward over the cliff. He was lu
s'.nntly killed. Ah there had not been a
death on tho Island since eleven years be
fore, when a boy was killed by a boulder
from tho same cliff falling on him, the oc
currence naturally cast a gloom over the
small community established there. This
consisted of some thirty fishermen with
thejr fnmllles . As a mark of sympathy nnd
respect nil the men determined to attend
tho funeral cf the unfortunate, which wns
to tako place nt the cemetery at Hatige
sund on tho mainland. Hut during the pro
ceedings nt tho burial ground a tremendous

gale arose. When the men returned to their

After carefully considering the situation
the thirty fishermen determined to sail for
Aarltid and having taken advantage of the
opportunity to replenish their household
supplies the boat was rather heavily Uden,
Their progrce through the nnpry sea was
most anxiously watched by tho people on
the mainland, who, when the boat had gone
the distance of nbout a mile and a half
from the coaet, saw that the vesel was In
great distress. Efforts were at once made
to go to Its assistance, but tho heavy sea
beat back every boat that wan launched. A
few moments afterward the unfortunate
smack plunged forward into the trough of
tho foaming waves nnd forever disappeared
from mortHl view. Every one of Its thirty
occupants was drowned and on the follow
ing morning their bodies were found along,
tho beach. 1
Ncwm of the disaster was as speedily ns
possible convoed to the Island. Kvery wife,
In tho place had, by the dreadful event, t
been made a widow, and out of thirty ns ,

resolving assistance from the Norwegian
