The mayor's energy was productive of
an amusing Incident. Officers O'Nell and

thief the officers steulthily closed In on
the man with the wheelburrow, only to find

A sperlnl meeting of the Commercial club
was held last tileht Rt thr request of th
promoters of tho Des . Moines. Council
UlulTs A Omaha Electric RiUlrond com
pany, which for a year psst has been figuring-
oji constructing- a line between this city
and Dos Molns. The proposed route ot the
company's line runs through Trrynor and
o(hr towns, which ore now Interested In
another proposition to build an electric
road to this city. It Is In order that the
two propositions may ' not clash that the
promoters of the Dps Moines line asked the
Commercial club to consider the matter
before the meeting- of tlie committee this
afternoon at Treynnr, when preliminaries
for mnklnfc' the survey of the proposed Car
son electric line 'are to be arranged.
Attorney 8. B. Wndsworth appeared be
fore the Commercial club last night, rep
resenting the Pes Moines, CounclUBluffs &
Omaha Electric Railroad company. The
men back of the proposed rond, he stated,
nre President Polk of the , Dps Moines
street railway, John Plpher. honker of
Grant ; Juhi: R. Hlack, a Wealthy capitalist
of drlswnld; Judge J. R. Reed of this city
and Samuel M. Smith of Grant.
' The proposed lino will run through a ter
ritory bounded on one side by the Burling
ton and the other by the Rock Island road.
It will pass through Pottawattamie, Cass.
Montgomery. Adams, Adair, Warren and
Polk counties.
- l"p to data tha promoters have done but
little, but they now propose to go ahead
and organize a company with a 1100,0)0 cap
ital for preliminary construction purposes.
Quite a- block of stock, Mr. Wadsworth
stated, had nlready been subscribed for.
The cost of survey, he. estimated, would
be In the neighborhood of lio.ono or perhaps
less, as the line from Wlnterset to Des
Moines had already been surveyed.
During" the discussion It, leaked out that
the proposed new brlcbre across the 'Mis
souri, the oharter for which has already
passed ' the tiouse of representatives and
will come up at the next session before the
senate. Is Indirectly If not directly con
nected with the proposed Des Moines line.
Mr. Wadsworth admitted that while the
men back of the bridge proposition were
distinct from those promoting the electric
road between Omaha and Des Moines, the
bridge would afford an Independent means
of crossing the river In the "event of the
company falling to make suitable arrange
ments with the motor company.-
No action was taken by the Commercial
club last night,, as It was deemed best that
the mntter be laid before the committee at
the' meoting this afternoon In Treynor. Mr.
Wadsworth wlU attend this meeting and lay
the mntter before the committee and those
Interested In the proposed electric road to
Carson. The committee from Council Bluffs
consists of If. It, Van Brunt, president of
the Commercial club; Clem P. JCImball and
C. A. Beno. Like committees were ap
pointed to represent the towns 'of Carson
and Treytior' at the meeting held last week
In Carson, when the project -was formally
started. " ' "-
Work for Juvenile Court.
Joseph Brammel, a 13-year-old boy, living
at 1434 Third avenue, was ordered yester
day, by Judge Green, committed to the
industrial school at Eldora. The boy was
charged with being Incorrigible and refus
ing to attend school. His case was brought
before the Juvenile division of the district
court by Rev. Henry De Long, probationary
officer of the court and truant officer of
the school district.
Mr. De Long yesterday went after an
other boy, named Gaston, living at Avenue
A and Fourteenth street, who Is said to
be & chum of the Brammel lad, and, like
him, refuses to go to school. When Mr.
De Long went to the Gaston home the
boy's mother ordered Mr. De Long out of
the house and threatened to brain him with
a chulr which she seized. Mr. De Long,
being a man of peace, beat a retreat, but
expects to have the boy before the court
today, even If he has to secure assistance
from tha sheriff's force to arrest him.
Anna Culbertson, the young girl ordered
sent to tire industrial school at Mltchell
vllle, was taken there yesterday bj Deputy
Sheriff Gronewe. .After the order for her
commitment had been' made the girl ad
mitted to Rev. Henry De Long that last
summer she had attempted to poison the
family with 'whom she had been placed.
The attempt, however, failed, owing to tha
fact that the girl used so much poison that
It was detected. The only reason she grave
fur; attempting to polsoa the family was
because she did not like them because they
rebuked her when she was unruly.

Biennial Amendment All RIkM.
Ex-Senator George M. Titus of Muscatine,
tho father of the biennial amendment,
laughs at the defect alleged to have been
found in tha latest amendment by a Coun
cil Bluffs attorney. He says there Is noth
ing to the claim of a defect, and quotes
several Btatutes to prove that his position
Is right. When the matter was brought
up he called the attention to page 199 of
laws of the Twenty-ninth general assem
bly, where the resolution aa first Intro
duced by Senator Harper appears. The
following language is used: "That the
following amendment to the constitution of
tha state of Iowa be, and the same Is
hereby proposed," etc He also called at
tention to page 207 of laws of the Thirtieth
general assembly, where the same language
appears. "These headings or titles," paid
Senator Titus, "made the use of the word
Iowa entirely unnecessary In the amend
ment Itself."
