CURRENT
COUNCIL
PARK BOARD HAS SO TITLE
Broadway at Intersection of Fourth Hai
Alwayi Been as Now.
SOME TALK OF PARKING PART OF STREET
Portion of Merchants In Vlclnlljr
Favor the rinn. While Others Are
Decidedly Opposed to the
Meaanre.
"The rtatement that the board of park
commissioners has discovered that a. por
tion of Broadway,: at the Interaction of
Fourth street, helonga to the city's park
ryatem la nothing but a pipe dream, pure
' .(v.r.lt anA I', mrlthnilt ttlM allffhteflt
foundation." was the statement of A. C.
Graham, chairman of the park board, yea
terday. Since the removal of the electric light
tower at the Fourth street Intersection of
Broadway and the widening of the aide
walk on tho north aide of Broadway be
tween Main and Bryant streets there hae
boen, more or lees talk of making- a small
park In the center of Broadway opposite
Fourth street. The street at this point is
VS feet wide, and aome of the business
men suggested that the appearance of the
street might be greatly Improved by a
amall park In the center -where the light
tower formerly stood. This suggestion fol
lowed the naming of the north side of
Broadway between Main and Bryan streets
"The Pike," and the public opening of the
same about two weeks ago.
City Engineer Etnyre was asked to pre
pare plana for a park at this intersection,
it being suggested that the street was un
necessarily wide at this point, and he has
done so. The plans provide for a grass
plot about 100 feet In length and DO feet
or possibly more In width. The plans pro
vide for the Street car tracks to run di
rectly through the park, with sod between
the rails. This idea, of having grass be
tween the street car track is said to ema
nate from New Orleans, where, on St.
Charles avenue, the space between the
car tracks Is sodded.
The connection of the park board with
the scheme to lay out a small park on
Broadway waa explained by President Gra
ham yesterday. He said that a few days
after the opening of "The Pike" Victor
Bender of the Nonpareil and H. H. Van
Brunt, president of the Commercial club,
came to him with the suggestion and
asked If the City council gave its permis
sion would the park board be willing to use
the park funds for such a purpose. Mr.
Graham said he told the gentleman that
If the city council was willing to give up
a part of the street for such a purpose, and
the business men on the street were do
sirotis of having a park there, the park
board, would .be willing to use Its fund for
the purpose. The. matter, however, Mr.
Graham said, had not been brought before
the city council, and he did not know when
It would be.
That a number of the business men on
this portion of Broadway are opposed to
tbe park proposition is no secret. The city
Is not in need of any more parks, they say,
especially In the center of the city, seeing
that BayHss- park i an..-Jy fills the need.
Furthermore the Idea of parking a small
space In the middle of the principal thor
oughfare of the city, they claim, Is absurd,
and. would . be of no practical benefit to
anyone. Whllj It might look pretty In
summer. It would be too small to be of any
use as a park, and with the street cars
running through. It would be a constant
source of danger to children who might
be prompted to gather In It
The statement has been made and pub
Untied In one of the newspapers that the
city has no claim upon any more than
90 feet In width of the street. This, the
members of the park board and. city coun
cil say. Is absolutely untrue. Broadway
has been a public thoroughfare for more
than half a, century, and the width of the
street at the. Fourth street intersection has
always been the same.
While undoubtedly .several business men
on Broadway favor the laying out of a
small park at this point, the proposition
will meet with considerable opposition, and
may possibly result In the courts being
appealed to to enjoin tho use of the street
for such a purpose.

mit a set of rules for the government of

little, if any, leisure time on his hands
and that the position Is anything but a
sinecure. For Instance, in very cold
weather the Janitor Is expected to heat
his building Sunday afternoon, or f he
prefers It before 8 o'clock Monday morn
lns. The rules. It Is understood, meet with
the approval of the members of the board
and will be formally adopted at the next

CAMPAIGN OPENING LATE
Both Parties Will Oonoentrate Their Ener
gies in Second District. '
INSURANCE COMPANY INCREASES DEPOSIT
Delay Martins; Action Will Make
It Impossible to Complete Any
of the Work of Lake
Drainage This Year.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Ia., Aug. 2S (Special.)
While It has been the Intention of the re
publican state campaign managers to open
the campaign some tlnto near the middle of i
a . v. , i- h.nk.t.u that th ntvnlnff '
Ot-H.WIl Ut I . II. 1" ll tJI,M L,,.? .... r.
will be delayed a short time. The first
speaker of note secured for the campaign
Is Secretary Leslie M. Shaw, who has been
assigned by the national committee to
speak In Iowa on September 28. The na
tional committee haa decided that Shaw
can only give one day to Io. Undoubt
edly this meeting will be In the Second
district, probably at Davenport. Clinton or
Iowa Ctty All the force of the campaign
will be concentrated t the Second congres
sional district, the only place In the stale
where there Is a chance for a sharp con
test. Both nominees have now been named
Albert F. Dawson, for the republicans,
and Martin J. Wade, for the demort-ats.
The democrats are very loyal to Judge
Wade, and he has succeeded In arousing
a great deal of enthusiasm for himself In
that part of the state. He Is serving his
first term and haa made himself very use
ful to the district. Mr. Dawson Is popular
among the republicans, a representative of
the old school of politicians, a bright and
active man and capable of making a good
campaign. The republicans believe they
can redeem the district and make Iowa
solidly republicans in congress, and to do
this the efforts of the state committee will
be directed.
Chairman Spe-nce-of the republican com
mittee goes out this week to hold confer
ences In three districts. He will be ac
companied by C. L. McNeeley, New Hamp
ton, who will place the republican speak
ers this year. They will visit Waterloo,
New Hampton and Cedar Rapids, and meet
the republicans of the Third, Fourth and
Fifth districts the last three days of the
week. The next week they will go to the
southern part of the state and hold con
ferences In the First, Sixth and Eighth
districts, then to the Ninth and Eleventh
districts, all to be held next week. In this
way they will become familiar with the
needs of the different parts of the state.
Increased Deposits of Company.
Since the examination of the affairs of
the Northwestern National Life of Minne
apolis was commenced by the Iowa insur
ance department, and before the report
Just made, that company has added to
Its deposits of securities with the auditor
of Iowa securities aggregating nearly
$400,000. This was required by the Iowa
department because the examiner In
creased the valuation of the policies Issued
under Iowa laws by the old Northwestern
Life and Savings by that amount. The
company now has about $1,700,000 on de
posit In 1 Des Moines to secure the Iowa
holders of policies Issued long ago. This
was made possible by a contract which
State Auditor Carroll compelled the com
pany to execute before he would allow
consolidation of the two companies, and
the examination Just made Is highly com
plimentary to the Iowa officers because
It shows that lnrgeVv through the fore
sight In requiring this contract to secure
the Iowa business the certificate holders
are made safe In their Investments.
No Drainage This Year.
As the result of Investigation Into the
matter of lake bed drainage In Iowa it Is
certain there will be no lake bed drainage
this year under the new law. It will take
the state officials too long to go through
kail the processes required before an order
can be issued for lake drainage. A final
hearing will be given on the various re
ports now on file about electlonvlme, as the
law requires four weeks publication of
notice. This will take the preliminaries
over until cold weather. In nearly all the
cases there will be no contest over the
proposed drainage, but In a few cases there
will be hard fights on the part of citizens
opposed to drains.
New Investment Companies.
The state executive council will decide
on Monday whether or not to charter five
or six land Investment companies that de
sire to do business under a new law. They
are aimllur to building and loan com
panies and have provision for investment
on Installments and for forfeitures. Their
schemes of forfeiture of payments is ob
noxious to the state officials, and It is
found that In each case the companies also
do business as direct sellers of land. The
latter Is regarded as dangerous and has
been opposed by state offlciuls from the
temptation to mix two classes of business.
The representatives of companies organ
ized in Des Moines, Fort Dodge and Chi
cago have been given until Monday to
present their views. '
Keeping- Down Expenses.
The !ocal officials of the Rock Island
railroad have received word to keep down
tho expenses of operation of that system
to the lowest possible' point and a system
of retrenchment will be commenced with
next month. In fact, the retrenchment
was commenced hero' early this month by
the reduction of the shop force at Valley
Junction. This was only temporary. Now
It is announced that there will be other
changes which will make the operation
cheaper by the laying off of employes be
llcved to be unnecessary. The high officials
claim that the expense of operation In-
Signs of Disease "
The First Signs of Disease are a Poor
Complexion, Weakness, EmacU
tion and Lack of Vitality.
The first sign ot returning health is
Increase of flesh, strength and vigor.
This weakness, emaciation and lack
of vitality simply means that certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex
hausted; and to renew flesh, muscle
and strength, these substances must
be restored. Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food Is composed of the same
kind of substances that are lacking in
the Impoverished blood and nerves
when In poor health, and abundant in
the rich juices that flow through the
system when In perfect health. If peo
ple would this food occasionally
when in health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells of sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. It makes sick
people ."-ell, puts solid flesh and mus
cle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint of
health to pale and sallow people. It
adds years to life and puts life into
years. Price 60 cents. Book free.

ing fish In Iowa streams at this time.
They are the cars of the t'nlted States Fish
commission and the fish are largely secured
In the bayous of the Mississippi river at
Siibula and also st the governmrat fish

also engage In distribution of fish this
year In Iowa. Ijist year no fish were dis
tributed by the state because of the failure
t have an appropriation, but now the

service it Is designed for."

CIIIU IN THE FUSION CAMP
Former Congressman Bhallenberger Not
Inclined to Help Oat.
BRYAN SAT DOWN ON HIS ASPIRATIONS
Sot Inclined 1 nder Circumstances to
Help Ont In the Effort to Make
the Dictator Vnlted States
Sen-tor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 3 -(Special.) The great
block of Ice that frose up between the
two parts of the fusion aggregation at
their state conventions Is still a growing
and spreading until now little Icicles have
begun to sprout In the democratic end of
the combination, that threaten to cost Wil
liam J. Bryan much support In his fight
for control of the legislature.
A speclflo case of much moment to Mr.
Bryan In his effort to reach the Vnlted
States senate comes from the congres
sional district In which A. C. Shailenberger
lives and Mr. Shailenberger Is the prin
cipal. At the convention recently held
there on three occasions efforts were made
to compel the former congressman to again
take op the standard and make a fight
for his old seat and on each occasion he
refused. As areason for his refusals It Is
reported here on good authority that Mr.
lihallenberger said he did not Intend to
help out Mr. Bryan or any of Mr. Bryan's
friends In tbilr efforts to get control of
Nebraska affairs.
"Mr. Bryan refused to allow me to be
come a candidate for governor," the ex
congressman Is quoted ns saying, "and
therefore I do not Intend to help him In
his ambition to run things." It is said
here that Shailenberger has announced that
he intended to take no part In the cam
paign, because he was tired of the dicta
tion of Bryan, and therefore he would let
Mr. Bryan get the party out of the hole
In tvhlch he has put It, In his own sweet
way, without any assistance from , him.
Fair Opens Today.
The Nebraska State fair will open to
morrow and there will be no frills about
the opening. The gates will be unlocked
and everybody in the state is invited to
enter at GO cents a head, with the guaran
tee there will be no speechmaking or any
thing of that nature to mar the pleasure
of the day.
The city began to take on fair aspects
today with the arrival of many visitors
and the last bunch of exhibitors. The
grounds were well sprinkled with workmen
putting on the final touches and placing
exhibits in shape. The grounds are In first
class condition, as Is the race track, which,
however, could be Improved by a nice little
shower. Each day of the fair the races
will start at 1 o'clock. Dan Patch will
go Tuesday at 4 o'clock. Previous to his
attempt to break his record the horse will
be sent around the track for three miles
Just to get him warm. The animal la in
splendid condition and, according to his
manager. Is well able to make a mighty
