PASSES THE CREAT WESTERN FRANCHISE
City May Reqalre Company to Main
tain Electrle Aro Light at All
Crossings of Streets or
Dallway.
The city council last night psssed under
a suspension of rules the Great Western
railroad right-of-way ordinance. The ordi
nance was one drafted by City Solicitor
Wadsworth as a substitute for that Intro
duced by the railroad's attorney, and was
approved by the aldermen at a secret ses
sion held In the mayor's office before the
council meeting.
The ordinance is in favor of the Mason
City ft Fort Dodge Railroad company,
which will construct the line between Fort
Dodge and this city for the Great Western.
It gives the railroad the privilege to locate
and maintain two main tracks and all the
necessary turnouts, switches and side
tracks. The original ordinance provided
for two or more main tracks, but as publlo
sentiment was against granting permission
for more than two main tracks at this time
the aldermen decided to restrict the rail
road to two tracks.
It gives the railroad permission to use
all of that portion of Ninth avenue, south
of the south curb line, from Sixth street
to Eleventh street, for an approach to its
team tracks, on condition that when re
quired to do so K shall pave this portion
of the street In a like manner as the rest
of the thoroughfare. This grant will eli
minate a sidewalk on the south side of the
avenue between the streets named.
Under the ordinance the railroad will be
required. If so ordered by the city council.
to maintain electric arc lights at all points
where Us tracks cross railway or street
railway lines. This provision was Inserted
after the ordinance had passed to its sec
ond reading, at the suggestion of Alderman
Boyer. It is said that under the state law
and city ordinances the city had the right
to require the railroad to maintain lights
or nagmen at an crossings.
The ordinance contains the usual provt
slons safeguarding the city from claims
for .damages by reason of the construction
of the tracks.
The city council has still before it the
ordlcance vacating certain streets and ave
nues In the Interest of the Great Western
and will meet Monday. February 17, to con

Alderman Hammer aald the Omaha ft
St. Louts railroad was willing to accept
$250 cash In settlement of the $375, which
it had been awarded under the condemna
tion proceedings brought by the city to
open Sixteenth avenue. The railroad, he ex
plained, would not accept a ' Judgment
against the city for the amount, but
wanted the cash. As there are no funds to
pay this sum the city will confess Judg
ment and arrangements will be made to
dispose of the Judgment at its face value.
Thla, the city solicitor said, could he read
ily accomplished, as the Judgment would
carry t per oent interest.
INVESTIGATES ODD QUARANTINE
Health Board Learns of Pecnllar
Conditions at Honso of
Richard Carter.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
last night Member Boyer called attention
to what he termed a peculiar condition ex
isting at the home of Richard Carter on
Park avenue. At the time the Revere
house was quarantined O. Chesebolt,' a
boarder there, was removed to the pest
house. Chesebolt had roomed with a com
panion at the Carter home. Instead of
quarantining the Carter residence the
health officers simply quarantined Chese
bolt' companion In the one room which he
occupied and permitted all th other room
ers, and boarder to leave.
Member Boyer said that Carter had com
plained at being forced to care for the man
now quarantined In his house, as all of bis
other roomers had left him. Mr. Boyer
asked that the officers be required to make
a full report on the matter to the board at
ita next meeting.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES. Feb. 8. The Shlloh tnonu
ment commission, which has been tn ses
sion in this city this week, mad a report
to the governor this morning on the work
which ha been don by th commission th
past year. ' The commission ha had plan
mad for a' state monument to be erected
on the Shlloh battlefield to the memory of
the Iowa soldier who fell In that memor
able battle, and for eleven separata regi
mental monument, or one for each of the
tat organisation engaged there.
The commission hss now let contracts for
all of these monuments. The state monu
ment will be erected under the supervision
of Prof. F. E. Trlebel, who planned th
monument. Th contract price for the
state monument 1 $24,800. The plan had
to bo submitted to the Shlloh National
Park commission and later to the see re
tary of war for approval, aad this ha been
'done. The state monument will be of fine
granite.
The contract wa let thl week for the
construction of the eleven smaller monu
ments. ' The contract was let to th P. N.
Peterson Granlt company of St. Paul, for
$18,051. The highest bid which wa con
sidered wss for over $29,000. Th commis
sion report that the cost of designs and
other Items charged to the commission wa
$365.35; the commissioners expense were
$1,258.47, and there remain of th fund
unexpended $5,524.98.

it "ha long had in mind that it work will
be incomplete without provision for such
dedicatory ceremonies as will reflect honor
upon our state, touch the heart of every
survivor of Shlloh, and make th occasion
memorable a loving tribute to th thou
sands of Iowa soldiers who participated fa
the battle." The commission I la doubt
to th authority to us any of th unsx-
pended fund In paying for dedication serv
ices and therefore asks a small approprla
tlon for thl purpose. Th report wa sub
mitted to th legislature by Governor Cum
mlns with applause, th recommendations

MUST REJECT APPLICATIONS
President' Delegates Aro Compelled
to Disappoint Member
of tho Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. The president'
delegates for the entertainment of Prince
Henry hav been overwhelmed by applica
tion from th principal newspaper of tb
country, seeking places for their represen
tatives at the launching of Meteor, and oa
the spedsl train on which Prince Henry
will journey through the country. - The
German embassy also has been In receipt
of similsr communications, hence It has
been thought proper to issue a statement
on the subject which takes the form of a
letter, one of many others written In re
sponse to an application from one of th
great journal of th country. , ,
In substance this letter states that while
It would be gratifying to the delegates It
the individual newspapsrs of tb country
could be represented as they desire. It hss
been found Impossible to comply with
their applications for the purely physical
reason that no train could be made up to
accommodate all the applicants and make
schedule time, and It Is of course, unfair
to discriminate as between the newspaper.
By economizing spsce on the train it has
been found possible to provide six placss,
three for the representatives of the Ameri
can Press association and three for corre
spondents of newspapers published In Ger
many, who will be designated by th Ger
man ambassador.
Tb 'delegate ar confident that th
newspapers will thus be able to obtain all
the news of the trip without favoritism.
As to the launch at Shooters' Island, Mr.
Wallace Downey, head of tb ship building
firm and located at No. II Broadway, New
York, has undertaken to provide accommo
dations for all nswspspers who have a
right to make application to him directly.
