1 At the monthly meeting of the board of
directors of th Commercial chib last night
Chairman F. W. Miller of the special com
mittee to which the matter had been r:
ferred submitted a report recommending
that the movement to organize an inde
pendent telephone company' in Council
Bluffs to conneet with the Independent
companies now operating in southwestern
Iowa be persevered In and pushed along.
He told of the meeting the. committee had
bad with representative of fourteen In
dependent companies In this section of the
state and the encouragement that had been
extended by the latter. The report also re
Cited the fact that several meetings of
business men interested In the project had
been held, . hd that the committee had
assurances, that sufficient funds for the
preliminary expenses of securing a fran
chise, which 'were estimated at from $1,200
to HBOO, would be subscribed without
, trouble.
' The' report did not meet with any en
thusiastic reception and after it was or
dered received and placed on fi! the mat
ter would' apparently . have been dropped
had not F. J.. Day, one of the committee,
suggested that the board ought to take
gome action In the matter. The old com
mittee, consisting of Chairman F. W. MIL
' ler, F, J. Day and E. H. Lougee, having
been discharged With the filing of and ac
ceptance of the report, Mr. Day suggested
that President Van. Brunt appoint a com
mittee, pf 4hree, whose duty It should be
to bring-about a meeting of the business
men Interested in the project for the pur
pose f, .organising 'a local Independent
telephone " company with a view to going
before the city council -and the people of
the oily for a franchise. President Van
Brunt appointed F. W. Millet"; E. II. Lou
se and F. H. . Hill. aa. the committee.
.' ..Robert Wallace v brought up the matter
'of the Tabor B'.ectiio railroad, saying he
baljeve'd .that the Commercial club ought
' to make 'some move In-the matter,' aa it
. was very doubtful if the company ever
intended building the line, despite all prom
ises to the contrary. He said bis firm had
Old the "company considerable land for Its
right-of-way, but he did not for a moment
anticipate it would ever use It. Mr. Wal
lace urged that the club Invite the motor
company to extend Its line to the School
for the Deaf, street car facilities having
been promised at the time the move .was
recently made to take the Institution away
fxom .Council Bluffs.. At Mr, Wallace's
suggestion the proper committee will take
up the matter of th line to the School for
the Deaf at once , with the Council Bluffs,
Tabor A Southern Electric Railway com
iany with, a. view, at ascertaining -what the
company' intentions are In, this respeot,
r ; Mr.. Wallace also called attention to what
T termed the Impassable condition of the
main county road, leading from the city
to the School for the Deaf and suggested
that the matter be called to the attention
of the Board of County Supervisors, which
will b don. I : -: ' ' '.
"One must do a little good hard kicking
la order to beost," was the way in which
Mayor Macrae prefaced a protest against
tlie manner in -which the railroads dis
criminated . against Council ' Bluffs. He
complained' x that a person, could buy a
ticket cheaper in Omaha than, In Council
Bluff1 to Iowa' point; For instance he
aid that k ticket to' Fort Dodge could
be bought cheaper in Omaha than it could
be in this city. He also said that recently
-When returning fronv Dunlap he wa in
formed he could not purchase a ticket
to Council Bluffs but would have to buy
-on to- Omaha. ..This, h said wa some
thing that ought to b looked into by the
dub. -v . ' , .
This matter was finally referred to th
transportation committee to take up at
some later .date with the railroads.
The monthly report f Secretary Reed
showed that ther was $1,716.92 in the club
.treasury .on July 1, and that the member
ship on the. same date was 182, being the
'same as on June 1. -

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, July ..-(Special.) Local
democrats who ar watching th actions
of the Iowa delegation at Bt. Loul ar
gratified at the reports which come from
that city of the prospects of a harmonis
ing of the different elements of the party,
knd declare th national convention will
have th result of removing all fsctlonal
lines and of placing th party In a more
united condition than it has attained sine
the break away from Bryan In 1898.
At the time of the first nomination of the
Nebraskan for president Iowa democrats,
who could not swallow the free sliver
declaration of the Chicago convention,
were among the first In the country to
Sweep aside party affiliations and declare
that patriotism lay above partisanship.
Thousands of these democrats went di
rectly to the republican party, casting
their votes for McKlnley, and a large num
ber of them have voted with that party
continuously sine. Other thousands took
up the cause of sound money as exempli
fied In the Palmer and Buckner ticket,
and, though they openly bolted Bryan, en
deavored to keep themselves In line with
the party on all other lafue and claimed
the right of recognition in ail democratlo
gatherings In the state since.
The action of this latter class, more than
any other thing, ha been the cause of the
continuous war which has been waged in
the ranks of the Hawkey democracy
since, and which was carried almcit to
the breaking point at th late convention
held In Des Moines, In which the Hearst
advocates wrested the control of the ma
chinery of the party from the conserva
tives. The test of strength between . the
two elements of the party on the state
central committee showed them to , be
nearly evenly divided, with the Hearst men
In a majority by the naming of C. A.
Walsh as a member of the committee, by
action of th convention. This and the
further act of the Hearst delegates In
choosing A. W. Maxwell of Seymour as
chairman of the central committee raised
a good-slsed row, and ther hav been
threats of bolting on both sides and
declarations of the opening and maintain
ing of two Stat headquarters for th
party.
Today th word ha com from Bt. Louis
that the danger of such a division of party
strength has been passed and that th
second state convention, which Is to be
held at Iowa City on July W. will witness
a reconciliation of the factions.
This portended result is said to hare
been brought about by a conference of A.
VT, Maxwell, the Hearst leader, with A. E.
Jackson, oonservstjve and .present chair
man of the state central oommltte. Messrs,
Maxwell and Jackson are said to have
oome to an agreement that neither of
them can perform effective work for th
party under the strained conditions whloh
at present exist, and both will withdraw all
claims to recognition in hopes tnt a. cora-r
promts chairman may be found.' . .
Under these conditions It Is likely that
either B. W. Mercar of Iowa City, J. C.
Likes of Des Moines or Steve- Morrlssey of
Harlan will be made chairman.
Many Women Want Place.
Th Stat Board of Control will decld
sometime this week on th appointment
of a woman state agent for th varlou
charitable Institutions of Iowa. Th leg
islature of last winter adopted a law cre
ating this position at the recommendation
ot the board and appropriated $4,000 for the
carrying out of th provisions of the stat
utes for the ' biennial period. The real
work of th agent will be the finding of
suitable homes for ' children released from
the reform schools of the state, .

RAINFALL AMPLE OVER STATE
t
Plenty of Molstar Aloag Burlington
aad Favorable Reports Come
from Grain.
Th Burlington crop report covering th
last week has Just been Issued. It has this
t say of the crop prospects In Nebraska:
The rainfall during the period covered by
this report was every wheie In our territory
ample to cover the needs of growing vego
tation. In the eastern part of the stale
the rainfall averaged from one to three
Inches, but was well distributed over the
week so Unit no great damage to crope
was dune. The heaviest rainfall reported
for the week was three Inches at Wymore.
Nothing less than good rains was reported
unywhere In the agricultural territory.
On the bherldan division the rainfall of the
week amounted to abuut one-fourth of
an Inch, except In the vicinity of Upton
and Gillette, Arvada and Manchester; there
was no rain at these stations or on the
Cody branch west of Pryor during the
weok.
So far as we have definite reports on
Rmall grain they are favorable. There
are a number of vague- intimations from
one source and another that in certain
localities the grain Is not filling satisfac
torily and Is being damaKed somewhat by
rust, but all definite reports that appear
to be entitled to very much weight Indi
cate that the small grain crop Is coming
to maturity in a very satisfactory manner.
Some wheat Melds have been cut south of
Kulo, on the Wymore division, and occas
ionally a field on the south line over the
same division aa far west as lied (.'loud.
As a rule, winter grain will bo ready to
harvest tn the eastern part of the stats
within ten days; further west it will be
ten days later In many places.- Spring
grains are heading and lilting, but oo not
as yet show very much Indication of ripen
ing. The small grain crop In the Big Horn
basin of the Sheridan division Is snid to
be very promising, with un acreage of not
less than double the acreage of lust year.
It is now estimated that the yield in tin)
Dig Horn busln for oats will be thirty-five
bushels per acre; wheat, thirty bushels.
All Irrigated crops of small grain on the
Sheridan division arc looking well.
Corn tn the eastern, part of Nebraska
and Kansas where the condition is least
satisfactory has Improved somewhat during
the week for which this report is made.
The weather has been warmer and rain
rather less. Corn as a rule should be "laid
by," or, In other words, the cultivation
of the crop should be completed ordinarily
by the 4th of July. This year much of the
crop Is so weedy that it will be necessary
to continue tie cultivation of the soil as
long as possible. Hot, dry weather for a
time is very greatly needed to Improve the
condition of the corn and bring it to Its
normal state of development under favor
able conditions at this season. In the
western part of the state, or the western
part of the corn territory, where the soil
could be better cultivated, there are less
weeds and the crop is in comparatively
better condition.
"Pastures and meadows continue In ex
cellent condition. Grass on the ranges in
the northwest Is beglnntng to cure, which
means that the cattle will soon be In tine
condition, and that cattle shipments will
begin earlier and probably exceed the ship
ments of last year. The potato crop in
the northwest Is .generally In excellent
condition, although frost . injured the crop
somewhat between Edgemont and Dead
wood. Considerable alfalfa In various
arts of our territory has been damaged
y rain after being cut and before it could
be put in the stack. The beet sugar crop
is progressing satisfactorily everywhere
that the crop Is raised. Prospects for fruit
crop unchanged.'
