It gave no address. In another was a re

Hafer sella lumber. Catch the Idea?
Paeklnar Hooae Projeet Dead,
The proposition of the American Dressed
Beef company to establish a packing house
and stock yards in this city has to all In
tents and purposes gone up In smoke. At
least thte Is the opinion of the executive
committee of the Commercial club.
The matter has been hanging fire for
several months nnd while the Commercial
club has done Its part the packing company
has done nothing e'xeept procrastinate.
After all this delay Charles E. McSwceney,
who styles himself acting president of the
American Dressed Beef company, and
through whom all the negotiations have
been carried on, writes to the Commercial
club asking that the proposed contract be
modified. .
Acting President McSwoeney now requests
that his company under the proposed con
tract be released from the requirement to
handle sheep or hogs and that the opera
tions of the pocking plant be confined solely
to the slaughter of cattle. .
- Another request made by Acting Presi
dent MxBweeney Is that, the business men
of this city take stock subscriptions In the
company to the amount of 1200,000, Instead
of the bonus of 8125,000, which was to be
payable In Installments as stock was to bo
slaughtered up to a certain number. The
laBt proposition from Acting President Mc
Sweeney strengthens the suspicion of the
executive committee of the Commercial
club that the Kansas City company has
not the financial backing which Mr. Mo
Sweeney claimed It had, and that it would
be a loss ot time to further continue the
negotiations. ,

BLUFFS
READY FOR LIBRARY WORK
Coatractor'i Bond 8nt Back on Aocsnat of
Clerical Error.
ALLOWED TO PROCEED ON CONSTRUCTION
Plamblng, Heating; and Lighting Con
tracts Go to Three Local Firms
Some Changes In Plana
Contemplated.
J. P. Cullen, of the firm of Winchester
ft Cullen, who have the general contract
for the construction of the Carnegie library
building, arrived In the city yesterday
morning and at once filed the firm's bond
with President Rohrer of the Board of
Library trustees. An ndjourned meeting
of the board was scheduled for last night,
but failed for want of a quorum, only
four members being present. Even had
there been a quorum the bond could not
have been approved, as at the last mo
ment It was discovered that the Christian
name of Mr. Winchester had been In
scribed as James, whereas his right namo
Is Thomas. The bond, consequently, will
have to be sent back to the company Is
suing It for correction.
The technical error In the bond will not,
however, delay matters, as Mr. Cullen wai
given permission by the board to go ahead
with the work of removing the buildings
now encumbering the site, and to make
such other preparations as were necessary
for the commencement of the work of
construction of the new building. Mr.
Cullen stated to the board that he Intended
to stay here and take personal charge of
the work of construction.
Work on removing the Plnney house will
be resumed today, but the Fuscy house
will, Mr. Cullen said, be torn down and
the material sold or used as far as prac
ticable In the basement of the library
building.
Snltle-t Piling; Contract.
Winchester & Cul'.en have sublet the
concrete piling for the support of the foun
dations and the contract calls for the com
mencement of this part of the work on or
before July 1. One hundred and fifty con
crete piles are to be driven, and this work
is expected to take at least two weeks.
Owing to the fact that the site has never
been brought to grade, there will be little
or no need for excavation for the founda
tion. The plans contemplate a coping
around the lot, similar to that around the
courthouse grounds, and the grounds will
bo gradually sloped upwards from the
coping to the building. The seven-foot
basement will be four feet below the level
of the lot when filled and throe feet above.
There was some talk yesterday of the
bnnrd deciding on having the same pressed
brick as on the front walls on the west
wall and Contractor Cullen was requested
to form an estimate of the additional cost.
This change, It Is believed, would greatly
Improve the appearance of the building
on the west side, much of which will be
exposed to view.
While the contracts were not formally
awarded last night owing to the lack ot
a quorum at the board meeting, It has been
definitely decided to award the contract for
the plumbing to the New York Plumbing
company on lta bid of $987.50; to Blxby &
Bon for the heating and ventilating plant
on their bid of $2,850, and to Stephen
Brothers for the combination gaa and elec
tric, light fixtures on their bid of $1,000,
The secretary was Instructed to draw up
the contracts with these firms and submit
them at the next meeting.
Throw .Open Ilw Store.
The handsome new store of Joe Smith ft
Co. on West Broadway, which was thrown
open for the Inspection of the publio Mon
day evening, attracted for three hours a
continuous stream of visitors. The store
was eluborately decorated with cut flowers,
palms and ferns, and every visitor was
presented with a bouttonnlerre and a souv
enir of the auspicious occasion.
Mr. Smith, the head of the firm, assisted
by Mr. McConnell and a large stall of em
ployes, received the visitors, while an or
chestra rendered a number of pleasing
selections during the evening. The store,
which Is one of the most complete of Its
kind west of Chicago, Is a tribute to MY.
Smith's business energy and popularity,
soelng that It Is, but five years since h
first embarked In the business which has
In that abort time grown to the magnitude
which requires the new, large, handsome
store.
.Imply Harmless Crank,
Believing that she Was merely a harm
less religious crank, the commissioners on
Insanity yesterday ordered the discharge
of the woman arrested last week by the
police. When taken Into custody and
placed In St. Bernard's hospital the woman
refused to give her name or any Informa
tion about herself, except that she had a
mission to preach and that she had come
from St. Paul, working her way along the
line of the Northwestern.
When before the Insanity board yester
day she said her name waa Letltla Moore
and that she had been married four times,
but beyond that she declined to make any
statements. "So long as I attend to my
own affairs and don't bother any one It la
no one's business where I go or. what I
do,'" she told the commissioners, supple
menting the statement with the announce
ment that she waa a member of the Lat
ter Day Saints' church.
Government Gets Lot.
The government now owns the thirty
feet on Broadway adjoining the poatafflce
on the west. Hon. Lewis Miles of Corydon,
United States attorney for the southern
district of Iowa, was in the city yester
day and completed the transaction, E. A.
Wlekham, owner of the property, turning
It over to Mr. Miles aa representative of
the government and the latter handing
Mr. Wlekham a check for $T,500 In payment
therefor. Tills lot has been purchased
by the government with the purpose of
securing additional ground on which to
build an addition to the postofflce. The
Increase In the business -here demands
additional facilities and Congressman
Smith expects to secure an appropriation
by congress at the next session for tha
erection of an addition to the present build

VEI.EPHOSES
Meeting Monday Krenlnn Drama the
Fire of Some Left Ont.
That the meeting Monday night In the
rooms of the Commercial cluh of a few In
terested In the establishment nf nn Inde
pendent telephone system in this city was
for the direct purpose of "freezing" out
several men who a year ago took a promt
nent part In the agitation for an Indepen
dent telephone franchise Is the opinion of
those who were not Invited to participate
In the meeting. It is not known, who was
responsible for the calling of the meeting,
but those who wore not invited made no
secret of tho fact thnt they were Inclined
to the opinion that Brooks Reed had more
or less to do with it.
A promoter of one of the Independent
telephone companlos which was before the
council a year ago with a proposition for a
franchise and who was not Invited to the
private" meeting of Monday night was
feeling yesterday that he had been delib
erately and purposely Blighted. He said:
I cannot see thnt the Commercial club
can afford to play favorites In this tele
phone business. A mnsa meeting wna held
at which It was suggested that a company
be organized to go before tho city council
and ask for a franchise. This mass meet-
ng never by word or motion suggested that
this company should be composed of a se
lect few who should orgnnlzo In secret ses
sion and loave out In the cold others who
had been Instrumental and had spent
money in agitating this question of an In
dependent telephone service for Council
Bluffs."
Another prominent business man who was
interested in one of the companies organ
ized a year ago to establish an Independent
telephone system In the city said: "As far
aa I am concerned I am out ot the telephone
business, although I will be glad to sup
port any bona fido movement to secure such
a service for Council Bluffs. The announce
ment In tho morning papers of the meeting
Monday night In the Commercial club
rooms was a great surprise to me. I re
ceived no Invitation to attend, and In fact
knew nothing of it until I saw it mentioned
In the papers."
When the question of an Independent tele
phone eystem for Council. Bluffs was be
fore the city council about a year ago
there were three companies In the field.
They were the Council Bluffs Independent
Telephone company, organized by H. II.
Van Brunt, E. H. Walters, J. F. Wilcox,
Emmet Tlnley, B. O. Brulngton and T. B.
Lacey; the Western Iowa Independent Tele
phone, Telegraph and Terminal company,
Incorporated by Donald Macrae, jr., Thomas
D. Metcalf, J, E. Brlce and C. A. Cutshall;
the Pottawattamie Mutual Telephone com
pany, Incorporated by Fred H. Davis, Col
Hafer, J. C. Sullivan and C,. A. Beno. The
company which made the longest fight for
a franchise was the Western Iowa Inde
pendent company, headed by Dr. Donald
Macrae, Jr., now mayor of the city and
who has since turned over his Interest to
Mr. Metcalf. l- . .

C1LBERTS0N NOT SO SURE
Politician' in Eastern Fart of Stat to
Make Fight on Eia.
STIRS UP THE OLD FACTIONAL CONTEST
Great Preparations Ilelns; Made for
Celebration of lovra Day at the
St. I.ools Exposition Urge
Crorrd Espeeted,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES, June 14. (Speclnl.)-It Is
learned here that the politicians In tho
eastern part of the state have definitely
decided upon making a fight for the de
feat of Ollbert S. ailbcrtson. present state
treasurer, and will give hearty support to
Fred N. Kretchmer of Dubuque, who was
announced a year nno ns a candidate for
tho place. It had been supposed for some
time that nil Mr. Kretchmer desired to do
was to make a start In the race so that
two years hence he would be In the race
fhd have a good lead. But It has become
known that W. W. Morrow of Union
county, president of the State Agricultural
Boclety, alao deslrea to enter the race, and
his friends and those of Mr. Ullliertson
havo a compact by which they are to sup
port Qilbertson this year and throw their
strength to Morrow two years hence. This
has compelled the friends of Kretchmer
to come out at once for a flsht this year.
Kretchmer claims he will have the support
of the delegates First, Third and Eighth
districts and have a strong lead for the
nomination. Mr. Ollberfson Is practically
assured of the support of nil northern Iowa.
He Is seeking a third term nnd it has been
customary to give state treasurers a third
term In Iowa. Some opposition Is being
stirred up to Mr. Gllbertson because his
county last spring adopted resolutions at a
county convention In favor of reciprocity
with Canada, the only resolutions adopted
In the state which were speciilo In that
they referred to Canadlun reciprocity. This
aroused a storm nnd after the action of
the state convention In deciding against
any revision or reciprocity the fight was
opened up on Mr. Gllbertson. It was
thought for a time that the state conven
tion had crushed out all factionalism and
there would be no more discussion of re
vision of the tariff, but the controversy Is
raging warmer than ever before and It
threatens to Involve the state treasurer
ship. Snpreme Court Decisions.
The following were the decisions of the
supreme court rendered today:
P. Rattray, appellant, against Talcott
Snencer: Polk county; Judge McVcy;
affirmed by McClaln.

ing his memory on historical matters that
he may be the more accurate. It Is prob
able that the address he will give on tlmt
occasion will be one full or good material.

tion well worthy ot me- occasion, jne ei- j
forts wnicn nave oeen put ionn to nuinui
attention to Iowa day are bearing fruit,
