owners that the width of Park avenue be
tween Pomona street and the park entranoe
be reduced In width to twenty-four feet
between the curbs Was concurred In.
KDMIND8OX GIFT IS ACCEPTED
Forty Thousand Dollars for Erection
of Hospital.
The Woman's Christian association, at its
adjourned quarterly meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, decided to accept the offer of J. D.
EuTmundson of Des Moines, formerly of
this city, to contribute the sum of $40,000
to enable the association to erect the new
hospital which It has planned to do for
several years. The money to be con
tributed by Mr. Edmundson will be In the
nature of a loan during his lifetime and
at his demise It will revert to the associa
tion as a beciuest.
Mr. EdmUndson's generous offer carries
some conditions with It, the principal one
being that the new hospital shall be known
as the "Jennie Edmundson Memorial hos
pital." In memory of his first wife. While
not making any choice as to' the site of
the new building, Mr. Edmundson has Inti
mated that he would prefer to see it
erected on some site other than the present.
The association has In view several loca
tions and the three most favored are the
Casady property on Washington avenue,
the Haagg property on Fierce and Oak
streets and the Clausen property on East
Broadway, which extends through to Pierce
street. A meeting of the directors of the
association will lie held Wednesday to de
termine the question of a site. If possible.
One of the directors stated last evening
that in her opinion there would be no diffi
culty In coming to an agreement In the
matter of the site, as the association was
anxious to commence work on the new
hospital as soon as possible.
It has not vet bua determined what will
be ne with the ;neent hospital on Ninth
street. Some of the members are In favor
of disposing of the property If a satisfac
tory price can be. obtained, while others
favor converting It Into an old ladles' home.

Working; on Corn, but Tomatoes to
Com Later.
The Growers' Canning company, which Is
composed largely of men interested In the
Grape Growers' Shipping association of
this city, will commence canning corn next
week at Its new plant on Third street and
Tmelfth avenue. For the present about
fifty people wll be employed, but this num
ber will be Increased iu the near future to
125 when the canning of tomatoes com
mences. ' Indications are that this factory
will become one of the leading Industries
of Council. Bluffs.
The Grape Glowers' Shipping association
has every reason to expect that this will
be the banner year In the history of the
organization. Already the association has
done upwards of $20,0U0 in berries of varl
ous kinds and cherries and the prospects
tor a heavy grope crop are said to be of
the best. The association is this year han
dling all its business from Its new wars
houae on the tracks of the Great Western

much better shipping advantages than the

TnOlBLB OVER DITCH OVERCOME
Hirrlson
witr Board srrres
quired Notices,
Re-
That there will be no further difficulty
in establishing the Pottawattamie-Harrison
county drainage ditches when the boards
of supervisors of the two counties meet in
Joint session In this city on August 1 was
the opinion expressed last evening by Henry
C. Brandcs, chairman of the Pottawatta
mie county board. Mr. Brandes spent yes
terday at Missouri Valley looking Into the
matter. He found that the Harrison county
people had been hard at work and had mat
ters now In such shape that there would be
little or no legal obstacle to the establish
ment of the drainage district.
At the last Joint meeting of the boards
complaint was made that alU of the per
sons Interested In the proposed dttchea
had not been served with the required no
tices, this being alleged to be especially
the case in Harrison county. On this ac
count 4he boards decided to postpone action
until August 1 so that In the meantime
these notices could be served. Mr. Brandes
was given .to understand yesterday In Mis
souri Valley that all the requirements had
now been carried out and all the proper no
tices served. As far as Is known every in
terested person in Pottawattamie county
has been served with the proper notices
and now that the supreme court has up
held the drainage law. It Is believed there
will be no further hitch In the proceedings,
although it la probable that there will be
some litigation over the amount of damages
allowed some of the property owners
through whose lands the ditches will be
constructed.
' InTestlaratlna Bridget Fire.
John C. Bridget, who was arrested at &
late hour Sunday night in connection with
the fire Saturday evening at the residence
occupied by him and his family on West
Broadway, Is being held at the city Jail
pending Investigation. While no rormaj
charge has yet been filed against him, he
Is suspected of having set fire to the dwell
ing In order to obtain the tl.OOO Insurance
which he had on his furniture and per
sonal effects.
Orie of the boxes removed from the house
Just prior to the fire has been examined
by the police and was found to be packed
with dishes, miscellaneous household Uten
alls and clothing. Both Bridget and wife
assert that the box was packed prepara
tory to the family's going camping at Lake
Manawa. So far tho police have been un
able to secure any trace of the large chest
which was seen In Bridget's wagon at the
outset of thefire and which disappeared
while the firemen were working on the
flames. Bridget and his wife aeny any
knowledge of the chest, but Chief Nichol
son and other members of the fire depart
ment say they saw It when they first
reached the house, but missed It after they
got the flames under control. Mrs. Brid
get is a dressmaker and It Is supposed that
the box contained silks, laces and other
dress materials belonging to her custom
ers. Neighbors have Informed the authori
ties that they saw Bridget removing goods
from the house during Saturday afternoon.
s.so 'hat tl.ey saw hlin about tne house
shortly before the fire and they dispute his
statement that he was at Lake Manawa.
The family was found Sunday living In a

WENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES IN ALL
District Attorney Raster Records
This as Most Flagrant Cos
nd Is Determined In Ills
Plana of Proaecntlon.
Information was filed In the United States
district court Monday morning against H.
Reed on the grounds that he had Ille
gally fenced t.000 acres Jt land, and against
Adam Miller. Clarence M. Miller, Charles
Miller and William O. Miller for fencing
18.0H0 acres of public lands Included In tho
nlted States forest reservations In Mt-
Pherson county. Capiases were ordered Is
sued for the arrest of the accused parties
and they will be taken before the United
States commissioner at North Platte for
arraignment.
The cases against these parties have been
worked up since the conviction of the
Krause brothers of Sheridan county under
the direction of United States District At
torney Baxter and Bpeclal Assistant At
torney Rush by Special Land Agents De-
Frees, Chambers and Dixon.
Tho appropriation of the public domain
by Reed and the Millers Is materially dif
ferent from that of the Krauses and the
Bartlett Richards cases, from the fact
that the lands appropriated by Reed and
the Millers Is land not subject to entry
and Is part of the land upon which the na
tional government Is making Its forest and
timber growing experiments. The offense
Is consequently regarded as more flagrant
than that of the Krause brothers. Criminal
proceedings are to be Instituted against the
accused parties at once.
But Bealnnlna. Says Baxter.
District Attorney Baxter said:
"This is but the beginning of the cases
against the cattlemen for repeated viola
tlons of the order of the Department of
Justice to take down their fences. We
shall prosecute these cases to the fullest
extent of the power given us by the gov
ernment."
The investigations of the special agents
now in the neia nave aeveiopea tne iact
that the cattlemen have defiantly Ignored
the orders of the government for the re
moval of their fences. The first Intention
of the government to proceed against the
violators of the order by civil process has
been abandoned and criminal action will
be Instituted. In order to expedite mat
ters the violators of the order, and all who
are maintaining Illegal fences, will be ar
rested and taken before United States com
mlssloners for their prellmanry hearing,
and If the evidence warrants, they will be
bound over directly to the United States
district court, without waiting for the te
dious process of a grand Jury Investiga
tion,

Dear Mrs. IMnkharo
"For (re rears I
was troubled with a
tumor, which kepi
great mental depression. I was nnable to a
tend to m v bouse work .and life became a bur
den to tne. I was confined for days tn my bed.
lost my appetite, my courage and all nope.
" I could not bear to thing of an operation,
and In my distress I tried every remedy which
I thought would be of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lyiila E. Pinkham's
Vegetarile Compound to sick women decided
to give it a trial. 1 felt so discouraged that I
had little hope of recovery, and wben I began
to feel better, after tbe seonnd week, thought
It only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise I found that I kept gaining,
while the tumor lessoned In site.
" The Compound continued to bnlM op my
general health and the tumor seemed to bo
absorlied, until, in seven months, the tumor
was entirely gone and I a well woman. I ana
so thankful for my recovery that 1 ask yon
to publish mt letter in newspaper, so other
women may Know of the wonderful curatiro
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable)
Compound."
When women are troubled with Irrefr
nlar or painful menstruation, weakness,
leucorrnceh, displacementor ulceration
of the womb, that bearing-down feel
lug, inflammation 0t the ovaries, back
ache, flatulence, general debility, Indi
gestion and nervous prostration, thejf
ehould remember there Is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia B Pinkham's Veg
e table Compound at once removes such
trouble.
No other medicine In the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. Ko other medicine
has such s record of cures of female
troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine:
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands ta health. Address, Lynn,
Mass.
Health is too valuable to risk in ex
periments with unknown and untried
medicines or methods of treatment.
Remember that U is Lydia K. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound that is curing
women, and don't allow any druggist
in sell you s,uy thing els in its place.
