While the advent of the cold weather nd the heavy fall of mow will Interfere with the work on the construction of the Great We'stera railroad and necessitate a reduction 'In the number of men employed along the line, operations will not be en tirely suspended. A light force will be kept at work all winter taking out the cuts, ai this can be accomplished with the aid of dynamite. The Hall Construc tion company, which has. the contract for the work In the city limits, will keep Its regular force going all winter. All along the line between Council Bluffs and Harlan the subcontractors are reducing their number of men and are pre paring to go Into winter quarters. Wick ham Bros, of this city are preparing to ship a greater portion of their outfit to Cairo, III., where they have a big con tract on the Illinois Centra,!. One of the big contractors, speaking of the work, yesterday said: "While It Is true that we are now compelled to reduce the number of men working on account of the snow and cold weather, the report that work has been entirely suspended Is not supported by the facts. We expect to con tinue a certain amount of work all through the winter, such as taking out the cuts and getting ready for the tracklaylng, which will be begun as soon as the weather Is favorable In early spring. The work this year was delayed by the heavy rains and other unfavorable conditions. The work of construction In the city will be kept going all winter, and It would not surprise me It most of the track In Council Bluffs will be down before spring rolls around."

The ordinance calling for the placing of all telephone wires in underground con duits within a certain area will not come up for action at the meeting of the city council tonight. At the last session of the council the measure was referred to the committee of the whole and no session of the committee has been held. The time for holding a meeting of the committee when the ordinance will be considered will be fixed at tonight's session of the city council. It Is understood that certain opposition to the ordinance by Interested parties has developed, but that a majority of the alder men are In favor of it, believing that It Is for the public good and a forerunner of a general ordinance requiring the placing of all wires In underground conduits, as Is being done In other cities. It Is said that the passage of the ordi nance will entail an expenditure on the Nebraska Telephone company of from $75, 000 to $100,000 and that the company Is hardly willing at this time to expend this amount of money. On the other band, It Is contended by those who favor the pass age of the measure that by placing the telephone wires underground the service will be greatly Improved and that It will not be far distant when all wires wilt bo placed beneath the surface and the business portion of the city relieved of the unsightly poles along the streets.

It. Gllmore Retires After Fifty Years' Railroad Service, Large Part of Which Has Been with the Rock Island. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dee. 14. (Special.) The orgsnlzatlon of whst are termed "Loyal Citizens' State Marshal clubs" has been going on In Iowa rapidly of late, and It Is now ststed thst there are twenty-five of these clubs formed In the state, with mem berships of from twenty-five to fifty. The plan of the clubs Is to secure sentiment In tevor of a new law authorizing the appoint ment of district state marshals to look after the enforcement of the liquor laws, especially In those counties where saloons are allowed. There will be district mar shals with deputies In each town or com munity, and all will be clothed with the authority of sheriffs to go about the state at any plsce and any time. Investigations will be made regarding the manner In which the laws are enforced and where the marshals believe that the local officials are not causing the strict enforcement of the law they will take charge themselves. These clubs are being formed by A. C. Rankin, who during political campaigns la employed as "the moulder orator," and he Is having great success In the club work. It Is expected that there will be clubs In all the central counties of the state pre vious to the elections for members of the legislature next year, and that they will have great Influence in that campaign. Inanranee Companies Not Leaving-. The report has been spread that the east ern fire Insurance companies are abandon ing Iowa because of unfriendly legislation, and an effort to enforce strictly the laws of the state. The statement has been widely published that during the past year a large number of companies have with drawn from the state, and that because of this withdrawal it Is practically impos sible to place large lines of Insurance. In surance Clerk Paul of the state auditor's office states that there has been but one Are Insurance company that haa withdrawn from the state during the year, one at Buffalo, and the reason of Its withdrawal Is not known. Last year just before the legislature met a number of the foreign companies withdrew from the state os tenslbly because of the discriminating tax against them, and this withdrawal was made the basis of a bill removing the tax, so that foreign companies pay the same as domestic companies. But not one of the companies that Jiad withdrawn on ac count of the excessive tax has returned to the state since the tax was removed. Retires from Long Service. C. N. Gllmore leaves tomorrow for Michi gan on a visit, and afterward will go east and south. He has just retired from the employment of the Rock Island railroad after many years. He waa superintendent of the old Des Molnea Valley railroad be fore it became a part of the Rock Island and has remained as superintendent of the Fort Dodge division of the Rock -Island, serving thirty years aa superintendent of this road. He completed fifty years of railroad experience November 1 and had resigned to take effect at that time, but the company haa been unable to adjust itself to the change until now. He will be succeeded by William Given, now superin tendent for the Rock Island at Trenton, JMo., but the company has been as yet un able to find a man to take his place at Trenton. Mr. Given was a conductor tor many years under Gllmore and later train master of the division. Congressman la Bad Way. Information has been received here by the friends of Congressman Robert O. Cousins of the Fifth district to the effect that a third operation will have to be per formed upon him In a Chicago hospital. He went there before election and has sub , mltted to two operations for some ailment of the bladder, but only temporary relief was afforded. His condition Is not reas suring, though the surgeons hope that an other operation will entirely relieve him. He will hardly be able to do anything at the present session of congress even If he should recover. Stock Breeders to Meet. Secretary E. H. White of the Iowa Im proved Stork Breeders' association haa Is sued the following announcement: The Iowa Improved Stock Breeders' as sociation will hold Its annual meeting at Newton, Jasper county, Iowa, on January 21 and 22. lsi3.
