VACATE FOR GREAT WESTERN
OrdiitiM to Is.rrei.dir Itreeta CsaiS TJp
lifer City CoisoiL
PROVISION IS INTERESTS OF PUILIC
Railway May Object Soaaa of the
Stipulations Demanded by Cltl
sens Concessions that
Are Sooajht.
Among Important matters slated for ac
tion at the meeting of the city council to
night Is the ordinance vacating certain
streets and avenues in the interest of the
Great Western railroad. This ordinance
Is of more than ordlnsry Importance to the
citizens of Council Bluffs, aa in It will be
Incorporated the provisions requiring the
railroad to maintain light and flagmen
at grade crossings In the city. These pro
visions were not Incorporated In the right-of-way
ordinance, at the suggestion of City
Solicitor Wadaworth, who gave It as his
opinion that the vacation ordinance, being
a contract between the city and the rail
road, was the proper measure In which they
should appear.
The ordinance, aa originally submitted to
the aldermen by the railroad, provided for
the vacation of those parts of Eighth.
Ninth and Tenth streets between the south
line of Ninth avenue and the north line
of Tenth avenue. The property lying be
tween the south line of Ninth avenue and
the north line of Tenth avenue for die
tance of several blocks haa been acquired
by the Great Western. Ninth street Is not
an open thoroughfare, having about a year
ago been closed by the vacation of one
block In the Interest of the Rock Island
railroad when erecting its new roundhouse.
It Is thought that the council will raise
no objection to vacating this portion of
Ninth street as requested by the Great
Western. Tenth street Is also not a thor
oughfare, aa It runs Into the yards of the
Rock Island and has never been opened
through them. There will be no opposl
tlon, as far aa is known, to vacating the
portion of this street as asked by the Great
Western.
Booth Eighth Street la Different.
8outh Eighth street, however, presents
an entirely different proposition and It Is
not believed that the city council will con
sent to the vacaton of any portion of this
street. Eighth street is the only thorough
fare running from the north to the south
limits of the city, and it is said that the
people would never consent to this being
closed between Ninth and Tenth avenues.
It Is understood that the Great Western
has abandoned all Idea of securing the
vacation of this street and that no effort
will be made to Induce the city council to
even consider this proposition tonight.
The ordinance to be considered tonight
alto provides for the vacation of Fifteenth
and Fourteenth avenues from the west Hue
of Third street to the east line of the right-of-way
of the Wabash Railroad company.
As the Oreat Western haa secured all of
the abutting property on both sides of these
avenues In the blocks ' named, it Is not
thought that there will be any opposition to
the vacations requested. The purpose of the
vacation is to provide a location for the
roundhouse, coal chutes and other terminal
buildings of the railroad.
Eiteailoa of Freight Depot.
It Is said that the question of granting
the Great Western the privilege of extend
ing Its freight depot ten feet on Ninth
avenue, which was refused at the time of
the passage of the right-of-way ordinance,
will be brought up again tonight and that
there Is a possibility of it being granted
and Incorporated In the vacation ordinance.
The Great Western is very anxious to se
cure this concession, as It will enable It to
construct two main tracks south of Its
freight depot, whereas without this ten
feet It would only be able to pt In one
track.
Prealdent Colt of the Mason City it Fort
Dodge railroad, when In the city last week,
offered, if granted this concession, to pave
the entire of Ninth avenue between Sixth
and Seventh streets, which would mean an
outlay of over $2,000. It la aald that the
property owners on the north side of the
avenue are oppoaed to the railroad being
given the ten feet and are not anxious that
the street be paved. They claim that the
paving would not benefit them any, as the
thoroughfare once the freight depot la
built will be practically monopolised by the
railroad. It waa aald yesterday that the
aldermen are about evenly divided now on
the proposition to give the railroad this ten
feet, but that Mayor Jennings Is unalter
ably opposed to It.
CAPTURES RICHARDS TROPHY
Connell Blnffs Tram Takes First Hon
ors at Central Whist
Leagat.
J. J. Shea, John P. Organ, B. O. Brulngton

the league so far has been abl to secure
permanent poaaesalon of It by winning It
twice In succession.

was wrested from the Council Bluffs club
by Omaha, was not competed for at the
Sioux City tournament.

Will Be Asked to Make It Brick.
The aldermen tonight will be asked to
reconsider their selection of concrete for
the abutments of the new bridge over Indian
creek at Mynster and North Main streets.
Contractor Wlckham, at the time the con
tract was awarded to him, urged the use
of brick, on the grounds that the material
could be supplied at home. At the last
meeting of the Trades and Labor assembly
this question was brought up and the as
sembly Indorsed the use of brick, it being
stated that by. doing so $2,000 of the cost
of the bridge could be Kept at home.
Representatives ' of the labor unions, It Is
understood, ' will ask the ' council tonight
to change its selection from concrete to
brick.
. Takes Acid to Avoid Shooting.
IOWA CITY. Ia., Feb. 16. (Special.)
Mrs. John Seelman, wife of a Liberty town
ship farmer, thought a neighbor approach
ing the house with a shotgun In his hands,
was coming to shoot her and took carbolic
add to aave herself from death at the
hands of the farmer. She died twelve
hours after drinking the poison, leaving a
husband and a son and daughter, both
grown. - Mrs. Seelman had been suffering
for some time from morbidness. A month
ago a fortune teller . predicted that great
misfortune was to come to her. She brooded
over the prophecy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 16. A tory re
cently sent over- the country to the effect
that Chancellor Wiggins and some other
member of the faculty of the University
of the South had left Swanee because of
anonymous notes from supposed mountain
ers, warning them to leave on pain of death,
ha drawn from the university authorities
a statement. In which they say the publlca
tlon has done much Injustice to the uni
versity and given an unfair and erroneous
estimate of the character of the people
surrounding It. The statement continues:
"The native population of the Cumberland
plateau and the valleys and coves near the
university are on terms of amity and good
feeling with the university and the country
people are its friends. The single anony
mous letter picked up on the street alarmed
no' one.
"The newspaper ir ?h the sensational
article first appears in response to a
request by the university, given the source
of its Information, and it appears that it
came from persons who ' do not live ' in
Swanee and who were simply perpetrating
a noax or joke, not expecting any publlca
tlon to result" ' '

Drawn I' p.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Feb. 16. (Special.) The
political contest In the city and county haa
become almost of state Importance from the
fact that it Involve th political fortune
of Captain Hull, present member of con
gress, who has had five or six term In tbst
body, and seeks re-election because of the
great services he baa been to his district
His opponent is Judge 8. F. Prouty of the
district bench, an "able orator and popular
young man. But what makes the conteat
Interesting to the entire state is the fact
that it is developing into a revival of the
factional quarrels of last yesr. Prouty Is
favored by Governor Cummins and Hull by
all who opposed Cummins. ' An effort has
been made to keep this factional division
line out of sight, but It Is coming to the
front more and more.
The county primary Is to be held March
10, which is unusually early, but this was
made necessary by the calling of the pri
mary in Story county. Captain Hull will
be back from Washington tomorrow to re
main until the primary is held. His friends
re in control of the county organization.
Judge Prouty has completed his canvass of
the city and has made a number of speeches
and now goes to the country. The smallpox
quarantine and order to not allow public
meetings will interfere somewhat with the
plan of the politicians, and it is being
made use of in a political way by the ac
cusation that the Prouty people are respon
sible for It because they are through with
theclUr.
But a large number of speeches will be
made in the country and from this time on
meetings will be held every night. Polk
county will decide the matter for the dis
trict. At the same time A city campaign Is
In progress and the canvasa for county offi
cers, and in all there are over 100 candi
dates now actively at work for political
honors in this Immediate field.
Des Moines a Closed Town.
This was the most completely closed Sun
day ever known In Des Moines. The deter
mination of the city authorities to act In
the matter of stopping the. smallpox epi
demic has gone to the extent of closing
everything. Including churches, theaters
and lodge rooms. The Des Moines churches
were all closed today, except In a few of
the suburban churches, where small com
munities worship. The theatrical engage
ments have all been canceled and until
further notice ' the theaters will not be
opened. The schools will continue as usual.
It is expected that the bill which haa
been made a special order in the senate
for Tuesday, which empowers the State
Board of Health to take control of towns
and cities where the local boards of health
have failed of their duty, Will he promptly
passed. Inasmuch as the city of Des Moines
has Just given, the legislature an -object
lesson in the dangers attendant on refusal
to observe health rules.- The president of
the State Board of Health has Issued a re
assuring statement-for the benefit of Des
Moines business houses, in which he states
that there Is , no danger in attending to
business in Des Moines.
, Downfall of Business Man.
A requisition haa been Issued on the gov
ernor of Kansas for the return to Iowa of
B. G. Nelson, wanted in Cerro Gordo county
for embezzlement. Nelson Is a young man
who had the finest of prospects ahead of
him. He . went to the new town ot
Wheelerwood to become manager ot an ele
vator for the Northern Grain company. He
became Infatuated with the daughter of a
man working for the company and neg
lected his wife and child. Despite that he
had only a. small salary aad Indulged In
extravagances, and some months ago mat
ter became so bad that Mrs. Nelson left
him. A short time afterwards Nelson de
parted, .saying he wss going to Fargo. In
stead he went to St. Joseph. Investigation
showed that by manipulation of grain
checks he has stolen 64.S80 from his em
ployers. He wss spprehended a few days
ago at Fort Scott, Kan., and will be brought
back to Iowa for trial on a charge of em
bezzlement. .
Attorneys Abandoa Case.
Information has been received that the
attorneys for John McGregor of Crawford
county. In his defense from an injunction
procured by Secretary Sbaw, have with-
urawa irom tne case. naw procured a
temporary injunction from Judge Church
to restrain McGregor from circulating cer
tain falsehoods about 'Sbaw In connection
with an old lawsuit In which McGregor
fancied he had been mistreated. The hear
ing to make the injunction permanent was
to have been held the first week in January,
but Shaw waa then too busy closing up his
affairs as governor and the date was aet
for next Tuesday. Now the attorneys for
McGregor have signified their Intention of
withdrawing from the case and it is ex
pected that this will end the matter. It
1 generally believed that McGregor is
mentally unbalanced by financial reverse
and ha a mania for persecuting Secretary
snaw.
Leslslatlv Appropriations.
Th appropriation committees of th
house and senate have been hard at work
the past week on the general appropriation
bills. The members of th Board of Con
trol bavs been called before the commit
tees In relation to the appropriations for
state institutions under care of the board,
and the heads of educational institutions
have been consulted freely. Nearly all of
the Individual bill have been considered,
The house committee will this week bring
in a general bill for all the institutions.
The total ot appropriations asked for foots
up more than twice as much as the com
mlttees havs available. It Is regarded as
certain that th tax levy will be Increased
materially to furnlah the necessary Income
to the Institutions. The latest disclosures
concerning the probability of securing
refund ct money advanced to equip soldiers
forty years ago is encouraging to th ap
prupnauons committees, ana this may
causa delay In the presentation of th ap
propriation bills until it is known whether
Iowa will get this money in time to uss It
now.

PARIS, Feb. !. La Patrle today pub
lished a letter received from its correspond
ent, M. Rouyer, a survivor of the massacre
of a French scientific expedition by canni
bals at SUeraka, New Guinea, January 1.
H. .Royer relate that the yacht Salvattl,
with the mission on board, had anchored
off the coast of New Guinea and that sev
eral of the explorers landed. After an ap
parently friendly reception from the natives
the latter treacherously attacked tbem dur
ing the night, murdering twenty-five ot.
the party, including Baron Vlllars, Count
de Balnt Romy and M. Hagenbock and M.
Vrles and wounding thirty-three. Including
the writer of the letter, M. Rouyer, the
chief of the misalon, and another French
man named Relmer.
M. Rouyer wrltea:
"We were all aleeping peacefully, when
there waa a great uproar, and we were
attacked by hundreds ot naUves carrying
torches. Several of us were felled to th
ground with clubs, hatchets and spears.
Others were overpowered, carried away and
bound to treea. I waa among this number.
I recetved a blow on the head from a club
and fainted. When I recovered conscious
ness at 6 o'clock in the morning I found
myself tied hand and foot and surrounded
by savages, who, believing me to be dead,
were keeping me for themselves.
Death en All Sides.
