City
Council In Tnclilc Street l,iinii
ttiicMlliin Toimirrow MkIiI,
The city fathers will take another whirl
tomorrow night at the vexatious question
of placing tho clcctrle lights under the new
contract. Mayor Jennings yesterday called
a special meeting of the council for this
purposo for Friday night, ns he Is desirous
that the matter should be settled us soon
ns possible.
The nldermen are divided on the question
of doing away with tho electric light tow
ers. Residents living In the vicinity of the
towers uro making a strong light against
them being removed and will have the sup
port of two, if not three, of the aldermen.
Other members of tho council who have In
vestigated the matter nre opposed to plac
ing the new enclosed lamps on the towers,
claiming they will not be effective at that
height.
A comprnmlso has been suggested that tho
city experiment with the new lamps on tho
towers and then, If they are found unsatis
factory, take them down and distribute
them at the street Intersections. If this
experiment Is attempted and the lights are
found unsatisfactory the expense connected
with the relocation will have to bo horns
by the city. This. It Is said, has not been
taken Into account by the aldermen sug
gesting this trial.
Tho contract for tho electric lighting be
tween tho city and Thomas Bowman, which
was assigned by him to tho Citizens' (Jas
and Klectrlc Light company of Council
Illuffs, gives tho power to tho city council
to locate lights, 'nnd the expense of In
stalling tho lamps Is to be borne by the
electric light company. Thus, If tho city
decides to place the new lamps on the old
towers this will havo to be done by the
electric light company. In the event that
tho lamps prove unsatisfactory and tho city
decides to do away with the towers and re
locate the lights at tho street Intersections,
tho change will have to bo at the cost of
the elt. The expense, It Is estimated,
would amount, to $1,000, If not more.
There are nine towers In tho city, not In
cluding tho one near the court house. Each
of theso towers carries four lamps, making
a total of forty. To rlace these lamps at
street Intersections would necessitate the
erection of two poles, with accompanying
hupportlng cables and other apparatus tor
each lamp. The expenso of forty poles
would be In tho neighborhood of $1,000, not
to mention the cost of tho supporting ca
bles. If the city locates tho lamps In the
llrM placo at the street intersections, this
oxpensc will hnvo to bo bomn by tho elec
tric light company. If, however, Iho city
should decide on first experimenting with
the lamps on tho towors and then after
ward. If found to bo Ineffective, roloeato
them, oil this expenso would have to be
met by tho municipality.
There has been some talk among the
aldermen, In locating tho lights under tho
new contract, to placo some of thu lamps In
the suburbs nt present without lighting.
Tho council, however, may run against n
good-sized snag If It attempts this. In the
advertisement calling for bids for city light
ing It was stated that the lamps wero to
bu practically In tho present locations. It
was on this advertisement that Thomtis
Bowman submitted his bid nnd secured his
contract. Tho electric light company, It Is
said, con Insist under theso circumstances
that the lamps bo located "practically" In
their present locations. To dlstrlbuto the
lamps In the suburbs would mean a large
expenso to the company In stringing wires,
erecting poles and making other extensions.
Alderman Uovett, chairman of tho light
ing cotnmltteo, says It would be folly for
the city to attempt to place tho new en
closed arc lamps on tho towers, ns they
would bo of no practlenl use nt such u
height. Ho favors having n larger num
ber of lamps and distributing them as
equnbly as possible throughout tho city nt
tho street Intersections,

Milk Iiisiieelor Alert lo IINwni-r Adiil
1 1' ill ( 1i n of tin Fluid.
Deputy Sheriff Oroncweg, who also Alls
the position of milk Inspector for Council
Illuffs, Is sending to every dairyman In the
city and vicinity a copy of n circular letter
Issued by Hon. II. 1'. Norton, state dnlr
ci'irmlssloner, calling attention to the state
law forbidding the placing of preservatives
or any other substance in milk or cream.
Complaints have been made that milk
dealers In this vicinity use preservatives to
keep the lacteal fluid sweet. Inspector
Oruneweg has mndn n number of Inspec
tions, but so fur bus been unable to dis
cover any foreign Ingredient In tho milk
sold in this city.
The circular letter from the state dairy
commissioner is In part as follows:
The law provides n penalty of a line of
t,i Slim nnd double daiiiagcs for the sale
of adulterated milk, and dellnes adulterated
milk as follows: "For the purposes of this
chapter tho addition of water or any other
substance or thing to whole milk or
skimmed milk, or partially skimmed milk,
Is hereby declared mi nuuiterniion.
The mipreme court of Iowa, In the case of
Slate against Sclllcnker, has decided that
the above dellnltlnu must be construed lit
erallv and that the sale of milk to which
am thing has been added Is absolutely for
bidden. The term "milk" Is held to In
clude "cream."
It makes no difference whether what has
been added Is wholesome or deleterious to
health.
It makes no difference whether the buyer
knows what he Is getting or not.
It makes no difference whether the seller
knows what he Is selling or not, he Is re
sponsible for the kind of milk he sells and
must sell unadulterated milk or be liable
to the peiinltles of the law.
It Is nmdi the duty of the dairy romtnls
slolier to enforce the law In regard to the
sale of adulterated milk, and this Is to cull
vottr attention to the lnw so that there will
lie no need to enforce It against you. Don't
sell adulterated milk of any character or
under any elrciiinsinnces. Keep your cans
and utensils scrupulously clean, use Ice
when the season demands It nnd you have
no need of preservatives.

I'eople In this part of tho world have
been used to calling It a lumber yard. We
now refer to one place ns an emporium,
that of C. Dafer's, on Hroadway and Pierce
street. It Is undoubtedly tho finest thing
of its kind In the entire west, not except
Ing nuy of the big lumber yards In the
larger cities. While It Is true that they
entry possibly a larger stock. It Is ncvci
theless truo that they cannot excel In point
of convenience, stylo of architecture and
beanty of workmanship the largo lumber
emporium Just completed by Mr. Hafer,
And as to stock, It Is piled sky-hlghward,
until your eyea will ache trying to look
(own nl tho top of the mammoth lumber
piles throughout this structure. Speaking
of lumber yurds, ono would, according to
precedent, expect to llnd it out In the open
air, where much of the stock Is weather
beaten and weathcr-stnlned, rind wc look
upon It ns a matter of counio und do not
give It a second thought. Hut Mr. Hafer
has brought about a now Innovation In the
lumber business. Ho takes Just as good
care of it as a dry goods merchant lool.s
after his stock.
Tho building Just completed by Mr. Hafer
Is an immense structure, three stories
high. To glvo one an Idea of how It looks
Just think of some big auditorium you havo
seen and you will como nearer to its style
of architecture than anything else. The
driveway to tho first lloor leads Into thu
building from tho Hroadway entrance, nnd
that of the second lloor from l'lercp street
There Is still another lloor abovo this
btneked high with lumber. There aro 175,
000 feet of lumber used In tho construction
of tho building and It will hold a stock of
2,000,000 feet. There aro twenty-eight
different kinds of wood used In the wnln
scotlng of tho offices. In connection with
the main olllco there Is a private olllco and
reception room, each having wood cnr.iet.
Over C.000 neatly printed Invitations have
been sent out In the city and surrounding
country to attend tho big opening nex
Saturday, March SO, nnd thoso who did no'
receive Invitations by mall are Invited It
come, ns It was linpnssiblo to reach al'
by mailing these Invitations. Ladles nr.
children will bq heartily welcomed, as tin
building contains much that Is Interesting
nnd Instructive to the young minds, ns well
ns older people. Refreshments will b
served during tho day to all visitors. Tho
nrteslnn well Is In good shape to quench

The State Hoard of Control, having sent
out a circular to hends of state Institutions
asking for Information with legnrd to tho
loiEes by lire which have occurred, hns re
ceived replies from some of the superin
tendents. The Soldiers' Orphans' homo at
Davenport, which was llrst occupied In

1SS7 to tho extent of $35,000, nnd In ISsO
the kitchen nnd other buildings wero In
jured to tho extent of $2,000, fully insured.
Tho value of property subject to fire loss
is $1.13,200 on buildings and J.'M.MI.l I on
