Charles Huber's lucky star was In th

right, title and privilege to th prefix
of alderman before his nam. He will
again represent the First ward In th city
council and J. R. Bell, th republican In
cumbent, who seat he contested, will
again becom a private citizen.
The result of th recount was a tl vote
between Bell and Huber and it was decided
to draw lot to settle the question who
should be alderman from th First ward.
Huber proved the lucky man.
The canvaaslng board on reconvening yes
terday took up th consideration of the
ballots which bad been questioned by both
side on Saturday. Th consideration of
these ballot was held behind closed doors
and at the close the board announced that
It had decided to reject four of the Bell
ballots and two of those counted for Huber.
Thla ruling left it tie between Bell and
Huber, the count of th canvaeslng board
being as follow:
Bell. Huber.

When this announcement was mad coun
sel tor Huber stated they would not Intro
duce further testimony and that their client
wa willing that the contest should end
there by th drawing of lots to aettl the
question who should be alderman. After
a short consultation with his attorneys
Bell accepted the proposition and agreed
to settle the contest In the manner sug
gested. The board then adjourned to B p. m.,
when a stipulation was entered Into be
tween Bell and Huber to determine the
contest by lot before th canvassing board
Instead of waiting to do so before the city
council, as provided by law In such cases.
Th stipulation also provided that both

to be declared the winner and receive a

ALL ARE TO HAVE TELEPHONES
New Company Propose to Eqalp
Every Hons aaeV Caarfja Two
Cent Per Message.
Th proposition of the International Tele
phone Company of America for a telephone
franchise In Council Bluffs, submitted to
the city council last night by John H.
Kuhns, contemplates' a radical departure
In telephone service.
In th first place, the company asks for
a twenty-ffve-year franchise and agrees to
place a 'phone "in every house, office.
shop, factory or other plac of business
within th corporate limits of the city of
Council Bluffs, and shall render service
thereunder at not to exceed the rat of 2
cents per call or message of five minutes'
duration or fraction thereof." It agrees
to begin the work ot construction of the
system within six month and to put In
operation not less than 6,000 'phones within
eighteen months from and after the passage
ot the ordinance. It agrees also to put up
a $10,000 bond for th faithful performance
of It contract with the city and reserves
to th city the right to purchase the plant
at th expiration of th franchise "tor a
sum of money equal to th amount upon
which the said business and property pay
an annual net Income ot 10 per cent."
Th ordinance wa referred to the com

ster of fruit, vegetables and other produce.
A motion to suspend ths rules and pass the
measure to Its second reading failed. Th

soma of the aldermen feared that the li
cense Imposed under ths new one might
make It Inoperative, as being prohibitive.
The ordinance wis referred to the city
solicitor.
Th commltte on city property and
buildings reported that the repairs needed
at th city hall, police headquarters and

The committee was authorized to make this
