MAYOR MACRAE IS IX EARNEST
Appoints . Committee to Investigate
Union Pacific.
Mayor Macrae yesterday appointed Al
dermen Maloney, Gilbert and Olson as
members of a special committee of the city
council to Investigate the alleged abandon
ment by the Union Pacific ' railroad of
Council Bluffs aa Its terminal contrary to
the provisions of Its charter.
According to Information received by the
city authorities the Union Pacific has been
removing one after another of its different
operating departments at the transfer de
pot to Omaha until, as it is claimed, Coun
cil Bluffs has become nothing more than
a way station on its line instead of the
terminus of a great transcontinental rail
road system.
In talking of the matter yesterday Mayor
Macrae said: "I have appointed this com
mittee with the determination that this
matter shall be fully Inquired into. If the
conditions are such as have been repreeen
Silver Plate Ware

ted to me there appears to be no question
but that the Union Pacific has and la vi
olating the provisions of Its original char
ter. In the event of this committee find
ing that the t'nlon Pacific has violated th
provisions of Its charter, then the courts
will be appealed to and every effort made
to restore Council Bluffs aa the terminus
not only In name but in fact, of the rail
road. I fully Intend that there shall be
no half measures in this matter and Intend
that If possible the Union Pacific iha.ll
be brought to time."

Henry Estate is Settled.
Judge Wheeler of the district court
handed down his decision yesterday in the
matter of the estate of the late Captain
Huron L. Henry, denying the claims of J.
W. Davis, a banker of Avoca, and the
First National bank of this city. The
claims were not filed until after the ex
piration of a year from the appointment of
an administrator, but the contention was
set up that the claimants supposed Henry
was a resident of California, where he died
and that they were unaware until after
the expiration of the statutory time for
filing claims that he had any property In
this state. The court held that this was
not sufficient excuse for failure to file
within the prescribed time and that, no
such "peculiar circumstances" existed as to
warrant admitting the claims.
The claim of the First National bank was
small, but that of Banker Davis amounted
to 310,000, representing notes given by
Henr7. A the time of Captain Henry's
death it was not known that he had left
any entate to amount to anything, and It
was suite a while after that It was discov
ered be owned a large block of Pullman
company stock and other valuable prop
erty, which was turned over by the ad
ministrator to the widow. Litigation over
the two claims disallowed yesterday has
been pending In the courts here for a long
time. It Is said the case will be taken to
the supreme court .
Finds Hydrant Water Good.
Prof. L. H. Pammel of the State College
of Agriculture at Ames, who recently ob
tained samples of the city hydrant water
and that from aoveral of the wells, has
wrlttun Muyor Macrae giving a report and
analysis of the samples taken by him. The
analysis made by Prof. Pammel was to as
certain if the water contained any bacteria
dangarous to the public health. He finds
that he city hydrant water Is free frdrn
sucn oacteria, but that the well water, on
the contrary, Is full of them.
The well at the corner of Frank and
Broadway contains a great number of or
ganisms and yet there was a great deal of
variation In the plates that were brought.
Of the two wells (shallow) down on the
bottoms the number of organisms Is large
and the wells generally contain coll com
rrunls. He would not advise the use of
water from any of these shallow wells.
The chemical analysis of the drinking
water of this city was made by Dr. Weems
of the same college, and his report, Prof.
Pammel states, will be sent in this week.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 9. (Spec! il.) The
gold democrats of Des M0I1103 and Iowa
are Jubilant today over the results of the
convention at St. Louis In reversing tho
policy of the party on the coinage ques
tion. The action of 8am S. Wright of the
Fifth district, in speaking for Parker In
the national convention and getting ahead
of the Hearst people, was received here
with great enthusiasm. It was known at
the state convention that Wright and six
or seven others would do alt In their power
to defeat Hearst though instructed under
the unit rule for him The action of
Wright nt St. Louis has made him a hero,
and If he will accept the nomination it Is
more than probable that he will be named
as candidate for secretary of stute on the
democratic ticket at the convention at
Iowa City two weeks hence.
County Convention Called.
The democrats of Polk county have called
their county convention for Des Moines
July 14, when they will name a county
ticket and select delegates to the state con
vention ut Iowa City. There may be a
small controversy over who shall be sent
to the state convention in view of the
fight on as to the chairmanship of the
state committee, but the chief interest will
lie In the fact that the convention is ex
pected to endorse a candidate for congress
in this district. It Is the plan to bring
out John Mulvaney of this city, an as-
firing young democrat, to make the race
against Captain Hull, lie will to nomi
nated at a convention yet to be called und
will make a hard campaign agulnst great
odds.
Linn County Is Backward.
The reports of the various county auditors
of the state on the assessments made this
year have all been received, save that
from Linn county, whero the county of
ficials claim that the report is held back
by reason of the slowness of the asses ora
In Cedar Rapids In completing their work.
This has been the experience of the state
officers for several years and State Auditor
Carroll has sent a peremptory order to tho
Linn county people to have their report
on hand by next Monday ur he will apply
the fines which are provided by law. Th;
county officials have promised to get their
report here on time. Last year the equali
sation work was done without the com
plete report on Linn county being In tho
hands of the state officers.
