Hi Henry, whose big minstrel show ap
pear at the Dohany theater-In tnatineo and
night performances today. In a recent In
terview la quoted as saying:- "The decline
in minstrelsy, once the most popular of all
amusements, la plainly due to the fact hat
but little effort haa been made to keep
abreast of the times. Public tastes change
and things must be altered to meet them.
The amusement public wants novelty nnd
merit, and if you haven't them they seek
elsewhere, - It is plainly a survival of the
fittest, hence those who presume on the
faded glories of the past are hung up like
a wet rag to dry. and do not discover their
error until too late. Publlo favor, though
often the result of clrcumststice, more often
requires years of honest toll to acquire it.
But presto. It can be lost in a day. Yen re
ago a nsked philosopher ran frantically
through the streets exclaiming, 'the world
moves.' and he paid for his startling sacri
lege with- his life. Yet In - later days we
found him true, and it still moves, and if

REFUSE TO GRANT PART OF NINTH AVENUE
This Frlvllee May Be Yielded Later
1'ndev Separate Docosaent, aa Same
f the Aldernea Art la
j . . cllned to Change Front. ....
After a protracted star chamber session
yesterday afternoon, thn aldermen, sitting
as 4 committee of the whole, decided th
kind of right-of-way ordinance for the
Great Western railroad which would meet
with -their approval.- City Solicitor Wads
worth was Instructed to draft an ordinance
a outlined by the commlttae, and to auk It
It at an adjourned meeting of the city
council tonight. - ,, , .. .
The ordinance as decided upon by the
committee varies llttlo from the original
measure. Introduced by .the Great Western.
Under tho new ordinance the Great Western
will not.be granted permission to absorb
ten feet of Ninth-avenue, on which to con
struct Its freight depot. This provision
la the. original ordinance was opposed by a
majority of the aldermen, although It was
stated after, the secret' session' that ' this
privilege might be granted to the railroad
company later under a separate ordinance.
It was said that at least two of the alder
men who bad voted against granting: tola
privilege were Inclined to -change front.
May , Lay Two mr Mora Mala Tracks.
,The new ordinance -wllV give, tbe Great
Western the right to lay two or more main
tracks, through the. city, the -number . -Bet
being limited. While the ordinance was
under discussion In open session of the
council several citizens objected.' to thfl
city's granting the Great ' Western an In
discriminate right to lay as many tracks as
It liked through the city. It was sug
gested that at this time It would .bo suffi
cient to permit the railroad to lay two
main tracks, and that If later it found It
required additional tracks, It could then
come before the council with 'such a re
quest. . , V
The tlreat - Western wUl be 'permitted to
pave Ninth avenue clear to tho south prop
erty line for a team approach, and this
will do awsy with a sidewalk on that side
of the street..
.The aldermen decided not to Incorporate
n this ordinance any provisions aa to the
maintaining of arc lights and flagmen at
the grade crossings, believing that such
provisions properly belong to the ordinance
providing for the vacation of certain street
and avenues. The vacation ordinance ha
not been taken up by the committee of the
whole, and it was said yesterday- It would
not be until tho latter part of next week. .
Prior to tha , committee, meeting . a, short
session of the city council was held at
which Solicitor Wadsworth -. submitted" a
substitute ordinance granting tho Grose'
weg ft. Scboentgen company the right te
build an elevated sidewalk or platform on
the west aide ot Its proposed new building
at Ninth street and Broadway. The plat;
form will be three feet eight Inches above
the sidewalk grade nnd wfll have an over
head - canopy.
Takes TJp Boandnry Matter. .. ,
State Senator Haxelton, who bad been
called home from De Molneo on business,
took the opportunity to explain to the coun
cil the Intent ot tb bill Introduced by htm
providing for the appointment, ot a bound
ary commission. He said the commission
would have no authority to release land
from tho state. Tha constitution defines
the boundaries and the change could only
be made by amending the constitution,
which would have to bo voted on by two
successive legislatures and by the people.
The bill was simply to provide for the ap
pointment ot a commission to confer, with
a Ilk commission from Nebraska - -
Alderman Boyer said bo waa opposed to
ths appointment of tb commission. The
result, he thought, would be tha exchang
by this stat of Cut-Oft on the other side
of tb liver for Manawa. .The Nebraska
commission would insist, he - thought, on
having the channel ot tho river defined, as
the boundary lino and Nebraska would get
tb better ot the deal. ' In bl opinion, he
said. Council Bluff ought to oppose, the
bill, as if ever another bridge waa built
across the Missouri lo U1 vicinity both
ends would nav to be on Iowa soil a long
a Iowa held onto Cut-OS and did not trad
It to Nebraska
No action was taken and the matter was
not further discussed. ., .

been usually of oil In the crude state, re
quiring 'refining and a lot ot bothersome
details, involving In most cases dependence
upon the Standard Oil : company. But In
Iowa the discoveries have been of the finest

The sample from Fredertka, In Bremer

of oil in this state, show the same peculiar

In this state.. It . Is a high grade ot kero

DAYS OF GRACE ARE KEPT IN FORCE
Radical- ( ! Proposed In Method
of Kxamlalnn Pnbllo Act-on at a
Enstern lawn Insists on New
School for Deaf.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINE8, Feb. 7. (Special.) The
time of the state senato was largely taken
up today with discussion of the Blanch
ard trolley line bill, which Is designed
to enable the people to vote tsx' aid for
rural electric railroads, a well a for
team railroad of tho state. The bill came
up before, but there was not a full at
tendance and an amendment was Intro
duced which " It waa desired to consider
further. This amendment, which wss by
Senstor Arthaud, would defeat the purpose
of the bill, in that It provided tor the re
peal of the act which It was Intended to
amend, thus doing awsy with all tax aid
for railroads In Iowa.
When the matter came up today. Senator
Arthaud defended his amendment and con
tended strongly that there is now no longer
any excuse for voting tax aid for rail
road, , whether steam roads or electric
rosds. He declared that while it was not
true that voters were corrupt in vot
ing tax kid for railroads It was the cor
poration ' money back of the organisations
of promoters that made taxes possible. He
said he believed 95 per cent ot the people
In hi (art of the state would favor abol
ishing all tax aid, and . 80 per cent of the
people of the state were for the repeal of
the entire law. ' . I ' .' i
Favors Parallel Railways.
Senator Blanchard favored the bill and
contended that by encouraging the building
of trolley lines paralleling the steam roads
there would be competition In service and
rate and that the proposal was not for the
benefit of the large towns. The bill Is
really .in .the interest of the proposed line
from Oekaloosa north and south, but would
fleet many other proposal.
Senator Junkin declared that' every
trunk line in the state would be' glad to
get rid of the statute which permits the
voting of tax aid. He referred to Cass
county, where there Is no competition, but
the building of a trolley line north or south
would give competition. In his own county.
Montgomery, there Is but one railroad to
the cojnty seat and no competition, but
electric lines built north or south would
afford relief from a monopoly. This was
hy the statute should be extended - to
lectric roads and put them on a footing
with steam roads.
On a point ot order the amendment was
declared out of order. Senator Porter then
offered another amendment to the effect
that in case the tax aid Is granted and
those who give the taxes receive stock
therefor, as is now provided by law, and
the company afterward waters Its stock,
those who have paid cash for their stock
hall receive a pro rata proportion of the
ddltional stock which has been issued.
This would prevent the freezing out of
the small stockholders-by. rendering their
stock worthies, as has been done In many
instance in Iowa. The amendment was
satisfactory to Senator Blanchard, . but the
senate desired to take further time to con-
alder it and the whole wa referred back
to the railroad committee. , , , .

troduced. The senate appropriations com
mittee reported a bill, the purpose of which
to provide for the per capita support
of inmates of the hospital at Cherokee.
Tho board of control figures it out that
the cost at Cherokee will be $3 a month
more than at the older hospitals, at least
for the present, and the committee bill
s to require that this sddlttonal expense
be borne by the state Instead of by the
counties.
Senator Hogue Introduced a bill, the
purpose of which Is to require that rail
road companies shall furnish csr to Inde
pendent shippers. It amends by leaving out
the clause giving discretion to the com
panies. It is to prevent line elevator com
panies from having a monopoly because of
Inability of the farmers to get cars for
hipping promptly.
Hew School for the Deaf.
Senator Crawford of Dubuque Introduced
a bill' to provide for an eastern school for
th deaf, to be located somewhere In east
ern Iowa. It provides for a commission of
Ave to locate and for an appropriation of
$100,000 therefor, also $15,000 for support
for two years. This is the measure planned
by Prof. French, who tuns a private school
for th deaf at Dubuque, and who last
summer secured petitions In a large number
of counties In northern Iowa, asking for the
establishment of such a school, on the
ground that the school at Council 'Bluff
is Inaccessible to many students. At the
meeting of the state association of deaf
persons later In the year the movement
was condemned, and it had been supposed
the measure would not be presented.
