Contract to the Lowest Bidder
mm Shown by the Original
Bids.
The contract for the general construction
of the Carnegie library building was
awarded lost night by the board ot trustees
to Wluchester & Cullen of Rockport, 111.,
and Janeavllle, Wis., on their low bid of
t62.61t To theae figures must be added
$3,210, this being the amount named by
Winchester & Cullen provided It was de
elded to use concrete piling for the foun
dation. Acting on the report of Messrs.
Woodward, the local architects, who made
soundings and tests on the site for the
new building, the board decided that piling
was essential to the safety of the building
and that concrete was preferable to wood.
The secretary was Instructed to notify Win
chester & Cullen that their bid had been
acoepted and the contract awarded them
and to come here at once to algn the con
tract.
J. P. Weaver of this city, the next lowest
bidder to Winchester & Cullen, requested
that he be given until Saturday to submit
a further proposition to the board, as hs
expected to' be able to meet the figures nf
the Rockport firm. E. A. WIckham sup.
ported the request of - Mr. Weaver and
stated that he was willing to give the
board a written guarantto that If It gave
Mr. Weaver the time asked for and Win
chester & Cullen should by any chance
withdraw their bid In the meantime, WIck
ham Bros, would take the contract and
carry It out at the figures named by them.
namely, 162,612. A motion to grant Mr.
Weaver further time waa killed by Trustee
Scott substituting one to award the con
tract to Wlnchfcster & Cullen, the low bid
ders, and the substitute prevailed by a vote
of 6 to 3, Messrs. Everett, - Balrd, Scott,
Stewart and Tyler voting for It and Rohrer,
Galvln and Bender against It.
It transpired after the meeting last night
that the board had . held since the last
meeting a private chamber session, at
which It was agreed that the ' contract
should be awarded to Winchester St Cullen
and a resolution to that effect was drawn
at that session and was to have been In
troduced by Mr. Bender last night. Trus
tee Bender, however, changed bis mind
and favored entertaining a further propo
sition from Contractor Weaver.
Contracts for the heating, lighting, eto.,
of the new building were not awarded..

mitted his ahnual report. In which he rec
ommended that the City should take steps

J. F. Hunt, the dairyman, and others
appeared before the council and protested
against the sweeping order Issued at the
last meeting for the opening of all streets
In the Fifth and Sixth wards. Mr. Hunt
said the order would work a hardship on
him and many others, while the city snd no
one would be benefited, as the result would
be that a large number of streets would be
opened which are never traveled. City
Solicitor Snyder suggested that the coun
cil should discriminate as to what streets
should bo opened and should open only
those which are needed. It was finally de
cided that the order remain In abeyance
until the aldermen look ovar the ground
and determine exactly what streets seeded

J. M. Oursler, - loaded wllh a number of
samples of patent medicines, which he
stated had been left at his door and on his
front porch, entered a protest against the
practice of the distribution In ttls manner
of such articles. He cited the dsnger of

Oursler and City Solicitor Snyder was In
structed to draft an ordlnancs accordingly

Ditch Coatraets Illegal.
The supreme court having, In ease from
Emmet county, herd that the old drainage
ditch law was unconstitutional and void,
the supervisors of Harrison and Pottawat
tamie counties will be enable to proceed
with the construction of the Pottawattamie
Harrison county drainage ditches under the
contracts awarded last year. The super
visors of ths two counties will have to
tart anew and do all their work over
gain. . This. It Is believed, will cause -a
delay of at least a year.
The opinion here Is that under the de
rision of ths supreme court In the Emmet
county ease, the contracts for the Potta

will have to be let anew. While the eon

done considerable work and the qsestlon
now arises In fscs of the supreme court's
decision as to whether the supervisors can

to order It done over again. It Is thought
the difficulty can be met by awarding; the

Hoaae of a Friend.
Mary Petersen, a young Danish woman
from Elkhom, la., whom the police were
asked to locate, was found with friends
In Omaha and yesterday taken to the home
of Mrs. F. M. Compton, In this city, where
she had been engaged as a domestic.
Mrs. Compton had arranged to meet (he
young woman on her arrival In Council
Bluffs at the Rock Island depot, but Mlts
Petersen, who was accompanied to this
city by Andrew Christensen, suddenly dis
appeared from the depot, and Mrs. Comp
ton sought the assistance of the police to
find her.
Developments showed that Christensen,
who paid Miss Petersen's passage to this
country from Denmark, was a suitor for-
her hand, but that the young woman re
cently changed her mind and refused to
marry him. He accompanied her to this
city Saturday from Elkhorn, and on reach
lng here, while waiting, at the depot for
Mrs. Compton, renewed his suit. Miss Pe
tersen stood firm In her refusal to marry
him, and just as Mrs. Compton drove up
to the depot, she placed her bundle of
clothing In Christensen's hand, saying.
"You can have these If you want them,"
and hastily left the depot. From this city
the young woman made her way to Omaha,
where shs was found at the home of a
friend.
From what she told Mrs. Compton on
reaching her home yesterday morning. Miss
Petersen Is svtdently anxious to avoid
meeting Christensen, of whom she ap
peared to be somewhat afraid.
Christensen had an Interview with Chief
of Police Richmond yesterday afternoon,
and from his statement it was evident there
was no blame which could be attached to
him for Miss Petersen's disappearance.
Miss Petersen herself denied the story pub
lished In a morning paper that Christensen
had placed her in a buggy with a stranger
who drove to Omaha Instead of taking her
to the home of Mrs. Compton. Miss Peter
sen told Chief Richmond that after lea V'
lng the depot she started to walk to
Omaha, when a woman driving tn that dl
rectlon offered her a ride.

The members of the police force were
resikndent In new uniforms yesterday.
The uniforms are the rwellest of their
kind ever worn by a Council Bluffs police
man and are fashioned after the style of
those In vogue In metropolitan cities. They
are of dark blue, the coat being double
breasted and adorned with a double row
of silver buttons for the ordinary patrol
man, while those of the captains and ser
geants have gilt buttons. In addition to
their uniforms being distinguished with gilt
buttons, the captains wear shoulder straps
In regular military style, designating their
rank, and the sergeants will sport chevrons
on their sleeves. The helmets are serv
iceable aa well as ornamental.
The work of removing the police offices
from the city Jail to the rooms over the
patrol house will be begun today. Jack
O'Nell will do duty as Jailer and as soon

business with the police department will
be transacted at headquarters over the
patrol house.

ceipt of the letter Born telegraphed his
wife to send the money In care of Chief
Richmond. Born, while willing to return
home, would prefer to remain In Council

wages than tn the east at his trade of
tinsmith, and has written to his wife sug
gesting that she and their children corns
out to him here. In police court yesterday
Born's healing was continued until

When this legislature put this requirement
Into law alx weeks ago It was anticipated
that arrangements could be mads In a
few days looking to fixing a rate of inter
est. This was made Impossible from ths
faot that Governor Cummins was 111 and
could not give the matter attention. It
has been delayed to this time because of
his illness. But ths psst week several
meetings of the state executive council
have been held and the matter Informally
considered. Members of the council have
made some investigation and the banks
have taken up the matter, and while no
formal negotiations havs taken place. It
Is 'now virtually agreed that a rate of t
per cent will be paid the state on these
balances. It Was feared that a movement
might be started by some of the bankers
to make positive refusal to pay any In
terest, but some of the leading bankers
have led off and made It certain an agree
ment will be reached. It means a montly
addition of upwards ot 12,000 to the state
