BLUFFS RAISES HUCKSTER LICENSE Counoil Paiiet Ord narjc Ftthirtd bj Btttil Mtrchant, DISCUSSION ON INDIAN CREEK PROBLEM No Act lorn Taken Beyond Taklaar Bteps to See What Dredge Can Re For chased For raving Diallers Up. The new hawkers' and hucksters ordi nance against which considerable opposi tion developed at the previous meeting, was rushed through to Its final reading and passed last night by the city council. The passage of the ordinance was urged by Aldermen Olson nnd Crlppen, the former agreeing on behalf of the Retail Grocers' & Butchers' association to pay for the publication of the measure. The new ordinance, while It leaves the annual license at $75, provides for an additional license of $35 for every man besides him self worked by the owner of a wagon li cense to peddle. Thus, If a peddler uses a helper, his annual license will be $110, and if he uses two helpers $145, and so on. Indian creek came up for the usual dis cussion, with no action resulting, although several of the aldermen suggested that the work of deepening It be let by con tract without further delay, as they were opposed to the proposition of the city pur chasing a dredge. Such a plan, they con tended, would In the long run prove a most costly experiment for the city. Mayor Macrae, however. Insisted that If the city could purchase a second hand dredge at a reasonable figure the work could be done cheaper than by contract. Two of the aldermen who contemplate attending the democratic convention In St. Louis were "authorized" to go to Chicago at their own expense and see what they could do In the way of securing a cheap dredge. The council recently passed an ordinance reducing the width of Benton street be tween curb lines to thirty-two feet. This did not prove agreeable to all of the prop erty owners on this street, so last night anothor ordinance further reducing the width two feet, thus making it thirty feet, was passed. , The question of paving Upper Broadway was discussed and the streets and, alleys committee was Instructed to make a re port at the next meeting relative to es tablishing the curb lines. The mayor was authorized to enter Into an agreement with Fred Rapp, secretary of the South Side Improvement club, for the renting of the engine house to be erected by the residents of that section of the city. An Invitation to the mayor, aldermen and all city officials, elective and ap pointive, whether wearing uniforms or not, to attend services' especially for their benefit, at the First Baptist church on the morning of Sunday,. June 24, was received and accepted, , i Henry Kay was , granted permission to conduct a saloon at 219 South Main street. Small Sam, bat Blst Question. In a suit brought In the district court yesterday In which'-tjie 'Interstate Coal & Coke company appears as plaintiff and The Western Fuel company of this city Is de fendant the amount Involved Is merely nominal, being only $45.81, but the Question raised Is an important one alike to whole sale and retail coal dealers. In the early part of December last the Western Fuel company ordered from the plaintiff company a carload of Indiana coal. The coal was' shipped December 30 but was not received here until February 28. In the meanwhile the Western Fuel company wrote 'several times to the Inter state Coal & Coke company inquiring about the cause of the delay and Impressing upon the plaintiff company that the coal was needed for Its winter trade and not for summer. Finally the local company countermanded the order, but the shipping company refused to accept the counter mand. When the coal finally reached here the Western Fuel company declined to ac cept It, and the railroad sold It.

BIG ROADS ARE NOT SO PROSPEROUS Smaller Lines show Ip Better In the Matter of Met Esrulnm Than the Lare Trunk Rentes. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June U tSpeclal.) The reporta ot the railroad companies doing business In Iowa, showing the business dona In 1902, have all been received by the state officers, except In the case of three or four of the small companies. These re ports show a considerable Increase in the aggregate of business dune, but a material decrease In the profits on the business as compared with the previous year. In fact, one must go back five years to find any year with as small net profits to the Com panies on Iowa business. The gross receipts from Iowa business as shown by these reports, counting the unreported roads, whloh do a business ot lens than $150,000, as the same ss last year, aggregated for 1W3 a total of $58,441,037. The year beforo it was $1,976,732 less. The gain of 1902 over 1901 wss less than $400,000. The net earnings of tho Iowa business, as reported, was $15,028,551. This was $2,105,550 less than the previous year. Of the aggregate of receipts for 19(18 the six big roads the Northwestern, Burling ton, Rock Island, Milwaukee, Great West ern and Illinois Central had a total of $r2, 874,194, or en Increase over 1902 of $1,316,772. But these same six companies bore prac tically all the decrease In net earnings, or $2.0K),463. The five systems of considerable mileage In the state of next importance are ths Iowa Central, Wabash, Minneapolis A St Louis, Omaha and Great Northern. These five systems had $4,435,705 In gross receipts, a gain of only $67,998. The same roads showed an Increase of $78,004 In net earn ings. This leaves for all the smaller roads an Increase in receipts of $681,972 and a decrease In earnings of $138,091. The com panies not yet reported are the Colfax Northern, Manchester & Onlda, Muscatine North A South. Newton A Northwestern and Tabor A Northern. Last year the State Assessing board raised the assessment on Iowa railroad property so that the assessment was sub stantially the same as the gross receipts, whereas In other years there had been a difference of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. But last year the showing was of an enormous Increase in net earnings and this year there Is a decrease In net earnings. The work of. making the assessment be gins In about a month, and the State board at the same time acts as a board of re view for the assessment of personal prop erty In the state. Soda Water Wins In Court. . Soda water won a great victory In the supreme court today. The high Judicial body definitely settled the status of soda water and ice cream and declared that the sole of these refreshments In their season does not make of the place where they are sold either an eating house, a restaurant or a saloon. In a contest be fore the court to prevent Issuance of drug gists' liquor sale penults In Wlnterset the complainants set up that the druggists sold soda water and Ice cream In their places, and, as keepers of restaurants, eating houses and. satoons may not have sale permits, these druggists should be barred. We think this would be a strained and unreasonable interpretation of the statute," says the court. "The sale of soda waters and Ice cream Is ordinarily carried on as a mere incident in connection with some other business or occupation, .and It would be a wide departure from the usual and accepted meaning of the words to hold that every ' place in which such refresh ment Is found Is to be classed as a res taurant, eating house or saloon." There were four of these cases, and re versal was ordered In two, both being be cause the record showed that the appli cants had been guilty of violation of the law In the Illegal sale of liquors.

CROPS onlbvrestern lows Kinds Weather Conditions Favorable tn Crops. SHENANDOAH, la., June 13.-(flpeclal.)-Southwestern Iowa Is st the dawn of the fattest year In her history. If present pros pects for bounteous crops of all kinds point the way, and this Is especially true of Pago and Fromont counties, where the outlook for oil kinds of fruits without a single exception Is most promising. The cold spring kept the shrubbery of all kinds dormant, likewise the buds on the trees, and when they finally came out all danger of frost, was past snd not a bloom of any kind has boon Injured. The result,, of course. Is that the berrlos of all kinds, ths poach and cherry trees, the apple, plum and, In fact, all fruits are making most abundant promise. The hay and small grain crop will ex ceed that of last year, which was good, and the last ten days hns put the cor.t prospect away up In the pictures. The seed corn agitation resulted In more care being used In the selection of seed corn and tho result Is that the stand Is fine, A good bit of wet weather In May retarded the planting, but all cf June so far has been warm and, as the farmers call It, "growing weather," plenty dry enough ta plow the corn ond hill the weeds. With all these splendid prospects Page nnd Fremont counties will break all past records go far as splendid crops are con cerned, unless something unforeseen and unheard of prevents.
