One Member.
Alderman Hammer's Insistence at tho
meeting of the city council yesterday after
noon to have plans drawn and bids submit
ted on a structure with stone nhuttmcnts will
cause a delay of several weeks In award
ing tho contract for tho brldgo over In
dian creek, at the Junction of Mynster
and North Mnln streets. City Engineer
Etnyre submitted general plans nnd speci
fications for an Iron brldgo on steel cylin
ders, but Alderman Hammer, chairman ot
tho committee on bridges and city prop
erty, favored a brldgo on stone abuttmcnts,
although tho city engineer explained that
the cost of such a bridge would bo nearly
doublo of that planned by him.
Tho plan suggested by Mr. Etnyre Is for a
brldgo on a skew of about fifty degrees,
eighty feet In length, with flvo puncls, each
sixteen feet, with eighteen-foot roadway
and six-foot sidewalks, tho piling to be
driven In steel cylinders, filled with con
crete. According to the city engineer, tho
bidders were to submit detailed plans, but
Georgo Wise, who had submitted u pro
posal to build tho bridge for $3,300, stated
that ho tor one would refuse to bid If ho
was to be put to thu expense of 1100 to $150
In making these detailed drawings, with the
chanco of not securing the contract.
Alderman McDonald was In favor of the
council ndoptlng the general plan submitted
by tho city engineer, but after much dis
cussion, during which Alderman Hammer
advocated tho stone nbuttment bridge, tho
city engineer was Instructed to prcparo
general plans and specifications tor a brldgo
with stone nbuttmentB In addition to thosa
submitted nnd to havo them ready for tho
council at Its meeting on January 6.
During tho discussion K. A. Wlckham vol
unteered the statement that n brldgo such
as contemplated by Aldorman Hammer
would cost 16,000. Aldermnn Huber sug
gested that hard-burned brick would bo
Just as good as stone for the nbuttments.
This brought from Alderman McDonald a
declaration to tho effect that whllo it was
so difficult to obtain hard-burned brick for
tho paving ordered no such brick would bo
used on brldgo abuttmcnts If ho could help
It. It was decided that only the successful
bidder should be required to furnish de
tailed plans nnd drawings.
K. A. Wlckham asked for and obtained nn
extension to October 1, 1002, In which to
complete his nnd II, P. Wlckham's paving
contracts. He explained that tho delay In
completing tho paving had been caused by
tho Inability to secure brick, owing to tho
alcsburg plant shutting down, Tho al
dermen raised no objection to grnntlng tho
extension asked tor.
An ordinance amending the ordinance
granting C. H. nnd A. W. Huher permls-
lon to erect and maintain slaughter houses
In the north part ot the city so as to In
clude their heirs nnd assigns was passed
under u suspension of the rules.
K. A. Wlckham called attention to the
fact that tho council wed imposing so much
work upon tho city engineer's ofilce that
ho was unnblo to get .the estimates made
on tho paving which ho had completed. Tho
delay, ho said, was working a hardship on
htm, but tho aldermen declined to niovo In
tho matter.
Tha request for nn arc light at Turlcy nnd
Clark avenues was rejected and action
on the petltlor for one at Sixth avenuo and
Twelfth avenuo was deferred until It Is as
certained whether the railroad company
will maintain n light there or not.
Tho aldermen drove over tho grndlng re
cently completed on Avenuo II and approved
tho assessment schedule. They bIbo In
spected tho curbing Inld by Wlckham and
approved tho assessment.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 26. (Special.) Suit
was brought In tho district court today by
J. R. Fnust ngalnst the Hawkeyo Insurance
company to recover on a policy of $2,000 of
Innuranco on the property of Faust which
was burned scvernl yenrs ago on his farm
In Marshall county. The suit Is tho so
quel to the startling story which was made
public somo weeks ngo In regard to tho
life story of Faust. His statement wcro
so strango that many persons believed them
to bo the vnporlngs of n disordered mind,
but In the suit Just brought this matter
will ho fairly tested. Faust Bets up that
his property on his farm In Mnrshall county
was Insured In the Hawkoyc and that It was
burned, but the company rofuscd to settle
with him. Heforc ho could fight the case
In court he was arrested nnd accused of
having sot fire to the property, nnd for
this he whs sent to tho penitentiary on tci
tlmony which he declares was false. Later
another person made full confcslon of hav
ing set fire to the property for the purpose
of robbery, nnd declared that Faust was In
Des Moines at the tlmo nnd could not have
been guilty of arson. Faust was released
from the penitentiary after serving his tlmo
nnd was seized and spirited nway to tho
Ohio State Insane asylum, where ho was
kept for several years. Ho finally made his
escape and rejoined his wife In Cedar
county, lowii. Ills wlfo had supposed him
dead. Now he comes to the front to col
lect tho Insurance money and to test In
the courts the entire proceeding by which
ho was deprived of his living. Ho Is cither
strangely Insane or hns been a terribly
abused man, nnd this fact will probably bo
demonsrated in court.

Too much of a good thingl That's what wc are
all liable to take during a holiday season. Healthy,
jolly people will do it and make themselves sick.
"In time of peace prepare for war," and have about
the house a pleasant, perfect, palatable, positive
medicine for sour stomach, sick headache, colic,
winds, belching, biliousness, furred tongue, lazy
liver, constipation, bad breath, bad taste, all liable
to result from holiday over-indulgence. Cascarcts
Candy Cathartic is what you want; a tablet after a
big meal will prevent sickness, or a tablet at night
before going to bed, after a good time, will fix you
all right for morning, and let you get up clear as a
bell, ready for business or pleasure.
