COMMERCIAL CLUB IS A CO
Enthusi. s'.ic Meeting of Buiinsia Men Held
in Council Chamber.
MEMBERSHIP ROLL NUMEROUSLY SIGNED
Committee ot Fifteen Appointed to
Kormiilntr a rian tor Permanent
Organisation to Fnlore
Mrrtlnx.
The meeting last night In the city coun
cil chamber to take the preliminary steps
towards the organization of a commercial
club In Council Bluffs was a most enthusi
astic gathering and was attended by about
203 representative buslnccs and professional
men. Victor E. Bender presided and H. W.
Binder acted as secretary.
After more or less oratory, nil of which
was In atrong endorsement of the proposed
club, the meeting got down to business by
selecting F. J. Hay of the real estate firm
of Day & Hess, F. R. Davis of the Pioneer
Implement company and Joseph " Smith
if the firm of Smith & Bradley aa a com
mittee of three to designate fifteen men to
form a committee whose duty will be to
formulate a plan for the organization of the
club.
The committee of three selected the fol
lowing: Victor E. Bender, Howard Culver,
Chris Jensen, Iewls Hammer, Flnley Burke,
Br. V. L. Treynor F. H. Hill. Willis Kim
hall, George S. Davis, W. W. Loom Is, C. W.
McDonald, S. T. McAtee, William Moore, L.
C. Bonham, T. D. Metcalf.
This committee organized by electing Vic
tor E. Bender chairman and Alderman Mc
Donald secretary. It will meet Tuesday aft
ernoon at i o clock in tne city council ,
chamber and draft a plan for the organiza
tion of the club. In the meantime the com.
mlttee will write to Sioux Cl y. Mason City,
Des Moines, Cedar Rapida and other Iowa
towns for information as to the plan of or
ganization of the commercial clubs in thc3
cities.
lra.es Action at Oner.
"If you cannot boost, don't knock," was
the keynote of most of the speeches. F. J.
Day set the ball rolling by suggesting: that
the organization be perfected at this meet
ing while the "spirit moved." He pro
posed that the membership be of three
classes, honorary members at $100 per an
num, governing members at $50 per annum
and general members at $25 per annum. The
immediate organization of a commercial
club he contended was necessary, as there,
were several matters of Importance to
Council Bluffs which such a body should
take bold of. As one instance he cited
the possibility of tho Iowa School for the
Deaf being removed from Council Bluffs,
owing to the destructive fire lat summer.
Former Alderman Lewis Hammer spoke
enthusiastically In support of the move
ment and suggested that the club erect a
building which could be used for an as.
sembly hall and for public meetings. He
thought the business men of the city ought
to be willing to contribute sufficiently to
erect cuch a building.
F. W. Beckman, editor of the Nonpareil,
outlined the plan on which the Commercial
club of S'oux City is conducted and sug
gested that the principal need of such an
organization was a secretary who would be
fully qualified to act as such.
Attorney Flnley Burke followed Mr.
Beckman and spoke at length urging that
the organization be such that every man in
the city engaged in business, whether on a
large or a small scale, could become a mem
ber and have an Interest In its working.
Alderman McDonald spoke on the need of
such an organization and promised his
hearty support, as did F. H. Hill and Pres
ident Hart of the First National bank. Mr.
Hart took the occasion to suggest that the
organization of such a club would result
undoubtedly in the bringing of manufactur
ing plants and other industries to the city
and that In a few years there was nothing
to prevent Council Bluffs from having a
population of from 40,000 to 60,000.
llaa Railroad Facilities.
Colonel Davenport of the Burlington told
ot the city's railroad facilities and how,
with a little effort on the part of the busi
ness men or an organization such aa a
commercltl club, the city could be made
one ot. If not the grea'est, distributing
points la the west.
Dr. Don Macrae, jr., addressed the meet
ing on what he termed "The Lack of Mu
nicipal Patriotism." He said be was heart
ily In favor of a commercial club and would
give it his ardent support, but the club
would never amount to anything, he con
tended, unless the people of the city were
educated to boost and not knock. Council
Bluffs, he asserted, had heretofore been
without an Identity, and It was high tln.e
things had changed. It had been a town of
knockers and many of the citizens pre
ferred to rldo across the river rather than
deal with the business bouses of their own
city.

COUNTY IS WILLING TO TRADE
Would Exchange Kqalty In TllsT Luke
for Park Hoard Title In
f arr Lak.
While the Board of County Supervisors
refrained from taking any action yester
day In the litigation between the Board of
Park Commissioners and Messrs. Wright
and Msyne over the title to Big lake and
adjoining land, the matter was discussed at
some length. It was suggested by some
of the supervisors that the county accede
to the request of the park commissioners
and give the city a quitclaim to whatever
interest the county might have In Big
lake on condition that the rlty in return
deed to the county the park property known
as Carr lake, situated outside the mu
nicipal limits In Lewis township. Aa It is
very doubtful If the county has any interest
at all In Big lake, it is considered highly
Improbable thut the park commissioners
will entertain such a proposition. In the
event of the park commissioners accepting
such a proposition from the county It
would doubtless rrsult in further litigation,
as the people of Council Bluffs, It is said,
would never subirlt to Carr lake, which Is
a popular hunting resort, being deeded
away. The consensus of opinion appears to
be that it would be best for the county to
keep its fingers out of the f ht and Jlow
the courts to settle the controversy between
the Park board and Messrs. vVrlght and
Mayne. '
The reports of the supervisors for 1902
show the following expenditures for county
bridges during the last twelve months:
Baker, $3,599.38; Brandes, $2,310.30; Bullls,
$2,518.S7; Dryden, $1,834.81; Kerney, $865.59;
total. $11,128.95.

WESTERN UNION WINS SUIT
Pennsylvania Railroad Company la
Restrained from Interferlna;
with Telesrraph 1.1 ne.
TRENTON. N. J.. Jan. 14. In the United
States circuit court, district ot New Jersey,
a decision was filed today in favor of the
Western Union Telegraph company restrain
ing the Pennsylvania railroad from inter
fering with the company's lines along the
road. The Injunction Is made permanent.
The decision, as handed down, recites the
following United States statute, enacted
July 24, 1866:
Any telegraph company now organized,
or which may hereafter be organized under
the laws of any state, shall have the right
to rotiKtruct, malntuln and operate tele
graph lines over and along any of the
military or post roads of the United States
which have or may hereafter be declared
such by law, but aueh lines of telegraph
ehall be so constructed and maintained so
as not to Interfere with the ordinary travel
on such military roads.
All railroads are declared by law to be
post roads. The decision continues.
While the question here at Issue has not
had Judicial interpretation by the court of
last resort, the statute of July 24, as
applicable to post roads, has several times
been before the courts fur their construc
tion. It has been held that because of
thla luw one company having exclusive
privileges under the atate law cannot pro
hibit the erection of telegraph lines of
another company on the pii muds of the
I'nlted Statea where auci. o;;ier companies
have accepted the provisions of the act of
July 24. lfW. when those In control of such
roads have given their assent.
It haa also been decided in I'nlted States
against Union Facillc Railroad Companv
"that no railroad company owning a uost
road of the I'nlted States, over which Inter
state commerce la carried on. can con
fidently with the act of July 24, 1, bind
Itself by agreement to eilude from Its
roadway any telegraph company Incorpor
ated under the laws or a suite, which ac
cepts the provisions of the act and desires
the use of that roadway for Its lines in
such manner as will not Interfere with the
ordinary travel thereon."
The deciding judge. In closing, said:
In view of the facts presented and for
the reaaon atated. 1 have decided to make
permanent this Injunction. In this way
the defendant will have an opportunity to
appeal to the next term of the circuit court
ot appeals, while, should the rule be dis
charged, tne complainant would nave no
appeal and the Injury to Ita property, which
is threatened, wouia nave oeen accom
plished before the case had been properly
considered.
The contention of the defendant company
that It has entered into a new contract
with another telegraph company and that
there Is not sufficient room on Its right of
way tor ths lines of more than one tele
graph company, the decision says, ought
to await the final determination of the
case.

IOWA EXHIBIT AT BIG FAIR
Committee Lays Plans for Agricultural
Display at 8t. Louis Next Ytar.
REPORT RICHARDS' LOCATION IS KNOWN
Complicated Litigation Over the Hleh
crdaon Estate in Shelby County
Increase la Inmates at
State Institutions.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINE8, Jau. 14 (Special.) A
conference was held today between the ex
ecutive committee of tho department of ag
riculture and W. C. Whiting of Monona
county, chairman of the agricultural com
mittee of the Iowa Louisiana Purchase Ex
position commission, in regard to methods
of securing agricultural exhiblta for the
state of Iowa to be taken to the exposition
at Bt. Louis text year. It was recognized
that many of the exhibits will have to be
of thla year's growing on tho Iowa (arms
and. that preparations must be commenced
at once. To accomplish thla it was decided
that the exposition commission would make
offers of special additional premiums to be
added to the state fair premiuma for prod
ucts that are suitable to be kept over until
next year and to be forwarded to St. Louis.
In this way It is believed that Iowa will be
able to gather a notable agricultural ex
hibit for the exposition. The co-operation
of the State Agricultural college is also
sought In this work, and Mr. Whiting went
to Ames today to consult with the men
at the experiment station. The annual
stock, grain and dairy school Is now almost
cono'uded there and preparations for this
season's work are under way. In addition
to this work, Mr. Whiting and others of the
commission will attend farmers' Institutes
and other meetings and present the needs
of the exposition commission In regard to
exhibits.
Richards' Location la Known.
E. R. Mason, clerk of the United States
circuit court In this city, has received In
formation from the wife of W. 8. Richards,
formerly deputy marshal, stating tho loca
tlon of Richards. It Is alleged that Rich
ards is wanted for complicity In the rob
bery of Sullivan at Hamilton last week and
that a warrant Is in the hands of Sheriff
Bybee of Marlon county for his arrest. Ma
son declares that if be Is convinced that a
warrant is actually out for Richards be will
be glad to furnish information as to where
he can be found, but declines as yet to be
lieve thav there is any warrant for his ar
rest. It Is now stated that Richards is out
on a secret mission as a aeiecuve. u it
generally believed he will not return, as
there Is an accumulation of charges against
him, one relating to an estate which ha
not been settled up and his alleged failure
to account for money In his bands. The
previous good reputation of Richards Is all
that saves the public from generally con-
di-mnlng him. His friends persist in refus.
Ing to believe him guilty and the case grows
In mystery.
Increase la Inmates.
The monthly reports of state institutions
show that on January 1 last there were in
institutions under the Board of Control a
total of 7.601 inmates, an Increase ot 116 In
the month of December. The number of
Inebriates in the dipsomania wards of the
hospitals waa 173. The total piymenta from
all funds duclng the month of December
was $179,144.28. The report from the prison
school at Fort Madison show that there are
a larger number of Illiterates at the prison
now than for many years. The chaplain re
ports that there are now thirty unlettered
persons In the prison school. This is in
part accounted for by the fact that there
are many negroes in the school and they
aro generally fresh from the south, where
however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
preserves the symmetry of her form. Mother' Friend overcomes all the
danger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through
this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.

The mysterious disappearance of Trank
Richardson In Shelby county some years
ago forms tho basis ot a case which has
Just got Into the supreme court. Richard
son we a an eccentric individual who disap
peared suddenly and was undoubtedly mur
dered for his money. He had lived many
years In Shelby county, lending money and
getting rich, hut refusing to do business ex
cept personally. Inasmuch as the assessors
had a way of finding out his credits Bnd as
Befslng the notes against him, he made out
his notes In the names c' eastern relatives
and then scattered his notes about among
neighbors. When he disappeared the ad
ministrator got track of his estate by mak
ing personal Inquiries among all his neigh
bors and turning up about $75,000 of prop
erty, for much of which the estate had
nothing to show. A controversy arose over
land titles on this account and the case
comes now to the supreme court for deter
mination on a number of points.
Telephone War Ended.
The city council has rescinded a former
resolution ordering the Iowa telephones
taken from public buildings. This was done
at the time of the strike against the local
telephone companies and after the Mutual
had acceded to the demands ot the strikers.
Now the Iowa oompany has yielded to the
strikers and compromised matters in a way
entirely satisfactory to c.11. The fire insur
ance agents and business men demanded
that the telephones be replaced In the fire
stations cf the city, since it was shown
that the Insurance companies had Increased
rates materially on account of the removal
of the 'phones. This will be done at once
and the war on the telephones will be
over.
Guard Against Plajcae.
It Is probable that Iowa will be repre
sented at the national meeting ot boards of
health at Washington next week, when the
matter of guarding against the introduction
of the bubonic plague will be taken up.
Secretary Kennedy has received work that
the meeting will be held next Monday. The
Iowa State Board at Its last meeting con
demned the San Francisco board for Its
action In denying the existence of the
plague In Chinatown, and thla condemna
tion has been general throughout the coun
try. Don't toae m Meal
