TALK OVER BRIDGE MATTERS
Illinois Central Agrees to Maintain Wagon
Waj Over the Missouri.
SIMPLY ASKS AN EXTENSION OF TIME
foaarll Inclined ta Withdraw Objec
tloa to Bill la Coacres If It Is
Amended la Manner
aga-ested.
With a view of securing an expression
from the city council favoring an extension
of time for the Illinois Central railroad In
which to complete the rebuilding of Its
bridge across the Missouri, J. R. Webster
of Omaha appeared yesterday afternoon be
fore a specially called meeting of the alder
men sitting as a committee of the whole.
Attorney Emmet Tinley appeared cn behalf
of the East Omaha Land company, wtolch
Is opposed to any extension of time being
granted by congress.
The appearance of Messrs. Webster and
Tinley before the committee of the whele
was at the suggestion of Congressman
Smith. The bill introduced by the Illinois
Central, and which aroused such opposition
here, has been killed apparently In Wash
ington through the efforts of Congressman
Smith. Thla bill ' gave the railroad com
pany permission to put In an additional
scan, abolished the wagonway features and
extended the time for completion to July,
1904. Under Its charter the railroad bad
to complete the rebuilding of the bridge by
July, 1903.
Seeing that this bill would be defeated
Mr. Webster, on behalf of the railroad com
pany, suggested a compromise. He offered
to reincorporate the highway clause re
taining to the public the wagon road pro
vided the company was given an extension
of Ave years in which to complete the
bridge. In bis letter to Mayor Morgan ask
ing for an expression of opinion from the
city council Congressman Smith said:
"The bridge company consent to rein
corporation ot highway clause of the bill
provided I would consent to a five years'
extension of time In which to complete It.
I was Inclined to think that It was best to
accept this offer. I also fully appreciate
that there Is much of force In what Mr.
Webster suggests."
After a lengthy discussion pro and eon.
during which Mr. Webster and Mr. Tinley
washed ever considerable dirty linen, much
to the edification of the aldermen, Mr.
Webster offered as a compromise In return
for the council favoring an extension of
time to have the rebuilding of the bridge
completed by July, 1904, an extension of
only one year.
Mr. Webster explained that the Illinois
Central, which now owned the bridge, had
not secured possession and control of it
until January 14 of this year, and that
nrlor to that time the management of It
had been controlled by the East Omaha
Land company.
The aldermen expressed themselves In
favor of approving an extension of time
for one year provided the railroad company
Intended to act In good faith and complete
the reconstruction of the bridge as con
templated by the charter by July, 1904.
Mr. Webster stated several reasons why
It waa almost Impossible for the railroad
to reconstruct the bridge by July, 1908, and
hinted that If It was not given the exten
sion to 1904 It would In all probability aban
don the bridge.
At the meeting of the city council last
night a resolution was unanimously adopted
favoring the extension of time to July.
1904, in which to complete the reconstruc
tion of the bridge, providing the vehicle
M(i pedestrian privilege features remained
in the bill to be passed by congress. A
copy of the resolution was ordered for
warded to Congressman Walter L Smith
at Washington.

for the Interstate company's ordinance
failed. The Omaha & Council Bluffs Tele

this. All three ordinances were referred to
the committee of the whole, which will
meet next Monday afternoon.
The mayor's appointment of C. L. Claar
as a special policeman, without expense to

On the recommendation of the committee
on rules, changes were made lo as to add

State Kxerntlre Council Helps Out the
Fish Commissioner with Money
to Carry on Ills
Work.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 22. (Special.) The
farmers of Iowa have begun to feel ner
vous over the crop outlook for this year
and fears are entertained and freely ex
pressed that unless a change comes soon
the prospect for good crops will tie very
poor. Indeed. In the most of the etate. The
northern part Is reported to be dryer than
the southern. During the last ten dsys the
wind has been blowing a great deal and this
has taken out the surface moisture so that
small grain has been suffering. Winter
wheat has been almost ruined In some
places. There ha been no rain at all In
central Iowa and the latter part of the win
ter was free from snow. Yesterday morn
ing a thunderstorm passed over the state
from weat to east and occasional snowers
were reported. In aoutheastern Iowa there
waa a good rain, but It was followed by hot.
dry winds, and the effect was almost imme
diately lost. Today the entire state ha ex
perienced a hot wind from the west, one of
the warmest days on record for this time
of the year, aud while warm weather was
needed to start the vegetation the gale
which has been blowing in connection
therewith is hsrd on all growing things
The local weather bureau report hopeful
signs of rain at an early date.
Money for Fish Commissioner,
George A. Lincoln of Cedar Rapids, state
fish and game warden, appeared before the
slate executive council today and asked that
the council do what It can to help out the
Fish and Game commission In the matter
of funds for the next two years In lieu of
the appropriations which the legislature
failed to make. He presented a statement
showing that there is on band of the money
previously appropriated about $3,800, which
may be used during the next two years In
the prosecution of violators; also that of
the appropriation to pay for propagation
and distribution of fish during the two
years Just past; there Is about $1,300 on
hind, but this cannot be used for any new
expenses Incurred. However, there are
many old bill that were left unpaid and
these will all be psld out of the old appro
prlatlon, thus relieving the commissioner
to that extent. The exocutlve council will
make a small appropriation as may be
needed, so that the fish and game commis
sion will be able to go ahead with the work
during the next two years.

The city council of Des Moines today au

of the fact that the detectives are work
ing on the theory that the murder was
done by an insane person.

often err when sickness and dlaesre come to
them. Too often they are content to follow
blindly the advice of second rate physi

called upon to cure. Too frequently our
sick people put their trust and confidence
in common, advertised pills, nervines, sar
saparillHS. and other liquid concoctions.
