Read, 12s Main St. Report Thomron-Houitou Company Absorbs Council Bluffs Concern. LOCAL MANAGER IS NON-COMMITTAL Business Men Claim to Have Infor mation Prom the East That the Deal is Practically Con-rinded. When asked yesterday if there was any foundation for the report that the new Thomson-Houston company of Omaha bad acquired control of the Citizens' Oas and Electric company of this city W. II. Fritch man, manager of the Council Bluffs com pany, declined to either deny or affirm the report. He stated, however, that negotia tions for the sale of the local plant had been opened and were pending. "The deal," he said, "as far as I have been Informed has not yet been closed. Beyond this I have nothing to say at this time." While the report here Is to the effect that the Council Bluffs plant has passed Into the possession of the Thomson-Houston com pany of Omaha, It Is said that the real parties back of the deal are the people rep resenting the Elkins-Wldener syndicate of New Tork City, the financial backers of the reorganization of the Omaha aV Council Bluffs street electric railway systems. Council Bluffs business men who have been figuring on organising a local gat and electric light company with a view to securing If possible the ci.ty lighting con tract at the expiration, two and a halt years hence, of the city's contract with the Citizens' Gas and Electric company, say that information received by them from the east leaves no doubt In their minds that the control of the Council Bluffs plant has passed to the Thomson-Houston com pany of Omaha. It Is understood that changes in the local management will result from the absorption of the local concern by the Omaha company. As to this Man ager Prltchman said he had no advice. President Nash of the New Omaha Thomson-Houston company said last night: "Negotiations are on and perhaps I can give some definite statement tomorrow. At present all I would care to say Is that probably the deal will go through. I do not even know that If It does the company across the river will become part of our company, though the parties negotiating are Interested with us here. If the pur chase Is mad the equipment In Council Bluffs will be put In Improved condition at a cost of probably $60,000, and the gas plant there will be maintained. So tar as I know, the present deal has no connection with the street car merger." Plumbing and heating. Blxby ft Sdn. Real Estate Transfers.

LOZIER ANDM00RE GUILTY Jury Says They Were Parties to Bin" Racine Swindle at Webb City, . Ho. "Guilty as charged In the . Indictment" was the verdict returned yesterday after noon by the district court Jury In the case of the Stat of Iowa against Leon Loiler and Ed Moore, charged with conspiring to defraud Charles Gregory and William Barker out of nearly $10,000 In connection with an alleged fake foot race In Webb City. Mo., in January, 1902. This verdict was reached after the Jury had been out less than an hour. Judge Thornell in his Instructions to the Jury said that the question of whether Gregory and Barker went to Webb City for the express purpose of conspiring to de fraud someone else did not enter into the case and afforded no excuse for the defend ants defrauding Gregory and Barker. On court reconvening yesterday morning Attorney Sallinger concluded his arguments for the defense and Attorney Burke, who assisted the county attorney In the prose cution, closed for the state. A recess was then taken to 1:30 p. m., when Judge Thor nell Instructed the Jury, which retired shortly after I o'clock. At I o'clock the Jury sent word that It waa ready to report. The court room was crowded with an Inter ested and expectant throng. The verdict was evidently a surprise to the defendants and many of their friend who had looked tor an acquittal. Judge Thornell announced that he would pass sentence Friday ' morning. In the meantime Lozler and Moore are at liberty on the $3,000 bonds which they each fur nished. They have three days In which to file a motion for a new trial. In the event of a new trial being denied the case will be taken to the supreme court. The case has attracted more than usual attention owing to the prominence given throughout the country of the alleged fake races conducted by the Webb City Athletic club and the court room was crowded dally during the trial. Since Saturday afternoon the Jury was constantly In charge of a bailiff. Judge Thornell having been In formed that attempts to tamper with It had been made by friends of the accused. The extreme penalty for the crime of which Lozler and Moore now stand con victed Is three years In the penitentiary. DOUBLES ITS CAPITAL STOCK Omaha. Council Bluffs Railway nnd Bridge Company Files Amended Articles. Ths certificate of amendments to the articles of incorporation of the Omaha A Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company were filed in the office of the county re corder yesterday by Charles T. Stewart, secretary of the company. The amend ments were adopted at a meeting of ths stockholders on March 2. The effect of one of the amendments Is to raise the cspital stock of the company from $1,600,000 to $3,000,000, divided into 0,(M shsres of which 16,000 are preferred and 16,000 common stock. The preferred stock will. It the earnings warrant it, draw not to exceed 4 per cent. The dividend on the common stock will depend on what Is left over after the dividend on the pre ferred stock Is paid. Another amendment provides that the company shsll operate railways In Doug las county, Nsbrsska and Pottawattamie and Cass counties, Iowa, with termini in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Orlswold. Cass county, Iowa. Vnder the original articles of Incorporation the termini of the com pany were In Omaha and Council Bluffs. This Is taken to Indicate that at some future time the company proposes to con struct so electric line tram Council Bluffs through Pottawattamie county to Grlswold In Cass county. In speaking of this latter feature yesterday, an officer of tha core pany said that as tar aa he knew there wss no intention at present to construct any suburban lines In Iowa and that ths company would trU complete lis rural ex tensions In Douglas county, Nebraska, be MUCH TALK OVER TELEPHONES City Connrll Pnta In nn Rvenlnf, bnt Takes 'o Action on Fran chises. The city council met as a committee of the whole yesterday afternoon snd after devoting nearly four hours to the discus stun of Independent telephone systems ad journed without taking any action on the two ordinances Introduced Monday night, beyond adopting a resolution favoring the connecting of Council Bluffs with the in dependent telephone companies In this sec tion of the state. Representatives of the two local Inde pendent companies now asking franchises and of the Bell company were present. The committee took up first the propo sition of the Western Iowa Independent Telephone, Telegraph & Terminal com pany, the company headed by Dr. D. Mac rae, Jr., and his associates. The discus sion on this occupied so much of the ses sion that the committee had to leave the consideration of the proposition of the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone com pany, the company organized a year ago by H. H. Van Brunt, Emmet Tinley and others, to another day. ' During the discussion, It was announced that the tolls of the Macrae company would be as follows: For five miles and under twenty miles. 20 cents; for five miles and under, 15 cents; for twenty miles and over, 25 cents. The tolls, it was explained, are regulated by tho association of inde pendent companies. Alderman Caaper wanted a clause In serted In the ordinance providing for the payment to the city by the company of 3 per cent of Its gross earnings, but he failed to secure a second. Several of the aldermen declared them selves as opposed to the establishment of two telephone exchanges in tbe city and this was taken to Indicate that they did not favor the proposition of Van Brunt's company while they did that of Its rival, the company formed by Dr. Macrae, which will only establish toll stations and a cen tral office. Alderman Huber was In favor of the council taking a Junketing trip to Investi gate conditions In towns where two op posing telephone companies were operating, providing the companies now seeking franchises would bear the expense. Both companies agreed to this and Attorney Tinley for his company even went so far as to offer to bear the entire expense. A representative of the Nebraska Telephone company also offered on the part of tho company to bear Us share of the expense. The suggestion was, however, voter1, down. In answer to the statement that the in dependent companies were unable to es tablish connections with the Bell company, a representative of the Nebraska Telephone company stated that the fault lay with the Independent companies. The Bell com pany, he stated, was willing to accord connections provided Bell 'phones would be used. The 'phones he said would be leased at a mere nominal rental to the companlea and would be Installed free of expense to the patrons. The discussion throughout the entire meeting was more or less Informal with the result that the aldermen practically arrived at no decision.

SETS THE SKIM ON FIRE No disease causes so much bodily discomfort, or itches, burns and stinps like Kezctua. Beginning often with a slight redness of the skin it gradually spreads, followed hy pustules or blisters from which a gumtuy, sticky fluid oozes which dries and scales off or forms bad looking sores and scab3. It appears on different parts of the body but oftenest upon the back, arms, hands, legs and face, and is a veritable torment at times, especially at night or when overheated. The cause of Kczema is a too acid and general un healthy condition of the blood.
