REVIEWS LIFE OF ANDREW CARNEGIE
Public Reception In Library Itulldlns;
In the Evening; Completes the
Formal Exerrlsra of the
Dedication,
The dedication of the new handsome library
building donated, to Council Bluffs by An
drew Carnegie was carried out yesterday
with befitting exercises In the afternoon
at the New theater and In the evening
by a public reception at the library, both
being attended by lurge gatherings of In
terested citizens.
' For the exercises In the afternoon tho
stage of the theater was tastefully deco
rated with the national colors and a canopy
of Japanene lanterns, while an Immense
bouquet of American Beauty iosis graced
the speakers' table in the center of the
stage. Seated on the stage were: General
Grenvllle M. Podge, the speaker of the
afternoon; Congressman V. I. Smith, Presi
dent Rolirer and the members of the li
brary board. Mayor Macrae, members of
the city council and other city officials,
membera of the park board and other
prominent cltlxena.
Following the opening of the exercises
with music by Prof. Covalfs orchestra,
Rev. II. W. Starr, rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, delivered the Invocation.
President Rohrer read letters of regret at
being unable to attend from several promt- I
nent persons to whom Invitations had been j
extended and then General Dodge, who was
tendered a flattering ovation by the large
audience, delivered his address.
"Andtew Carnegie" General Dodge took
as the subject of his address, which was
an Interesting sketch of the life of the
man with whom the speaker had been on
terms of Intimate friendship since 1870,
when he and Mr. Carnegie were associated
In the work of the development of tho
south and southwest Inaugurated by the
Pennsylvania railroad. His address clearly
showed his admiration for the man through
whose generosity Council Bluffs now owns
a magnificent library building complete In
every detail. General Podge said In part:
Tribute to Andrew Cnraeatl.
Mr. Carnegie, In a letter to Judge Dillon,
formerly a distinguished cltlr.cn of this
state, explains how he took such an inter
est In the establishment of libraries. H-s
said: -I am a llbraiy builder through
heredity. My father was one of three
weavers who organized the first library
In Uumfernillne. They concentrated their
few volumes and opened them to less
fortunate people. When I was a working
boy In Allegheny City Colonel Anderson
opened his library, consisting of 4o0 vol
umes, to the working boys of the town,
and attended ever) Saturday to tho ex
change of hivikB, and In this way the por
tals of knowledge were opened to me. and
then I resolved that if ever fortune fa
voted me I would use it so that many
another working boy would have access
to books In which Is preserved as If by
magic everything worthy that man has
said or done."
Peterborough. N. II., Is stated to be the
first town In the I'nlted States to establish
a free library. In the year 1833 It voted to
employ a certain sum of money voted by
the taxpayers in t)ie purchase of books
for a free library, to be free to the people
of the town The success of the experi
ment brought about the legislation of 1849
by which New Hampshire first of all
states established free town libraries.
Since then they Increased slowly until
Mr. Carnegie decided to spend his mil
lions In erecting the buildings where cities
and towns would furnish the books and
Provide for the maintenance of the library,
'p to 1!6 Mr. Carnegie has established
1.270 libraries for the English-speaking
!eople; 779 of these are in the United
States. Th( aggregate cost of these build
ings Is 9.,40. Three-fourths of this
sum has Ix-en spnt In the United States,
the balance In England, Scotland and
Caneds. The total population he has
supplied amounts to 18 per cent of each
country. Think what a permanent bless
ing for all time this is to the English
speaking world, especially to the young,
and to those without means or oppor
tunity to ohnin knowledge except through
the use of libraries.
no Ise for Donotblnaa.
He Is a firm opponent of class distinction,
and holds In contempt the privileged classes
who live in luxury, contributing nothing
by forced industry or voluntary service to
the benefit of society. For America he la
an out and out protectionist, for the British
lug that tho conditions existing In the two
countries demand this great difference In
isles he is an out and out free trader, hold-
their commercial methods
Mr. Carnegie's one supreme ambition in
life is to weave together the Interests of
the I'nlted Statea and England. He is an
enthusiastic advocate of the federation of
all English speaking peoples. il looks
upon this union as tne one great hope for
the peaue and progress of the world
Wealth, lio says, should be held In trust
for the benefit of the whole community,
not so much to raise the submerged tenth
ss to help the swimming tentii to keep their
heads above water.
Mr. Carnegie s treatment of labor has
had many criticisms. His own belief for
I smooth working in the industrial arena la
co-pnrinermin. miu w 111 r mai in not iwc
ticablu he advocates the sliding scale,
which he put in operation in Ills own
works. Hia experience, ho aas, goes to
prove that the firm which has tne reputa- I
lion tor taking tne d.hi care oi its men
has the best chance, because the best men
all gradually gravitate to that firm and
stay with it.
At the conclusion of General Dodge's Wd
dress, which held the close attention of
hia audience from the opening to the last
sentence, followed the formal presentation
of the keys of the new building to Mayor
Macrae aa chJef executive of the city, and
the return by him to the Board of Library
Trusteea, the ceremony being accompanied
by short speeches by the mayor. Secretary
Balrd of the Library Board, who presented
the keys to the city, and by Trustee J. M.
Calvin, who accepted them back on behalf
of the board. President M. F. Rohrer of
the Library board prealded.
Reception in Evening;.
To those who visited the new library
during the reception laat night for the
first time since It waa completed, - the
building presented a strikingly pleasing
picture. Every room and hall was ablaxe
1th light while potted ferns and palms
I mt.t ,n eye at every vantage point and
beautiful boquets of roses and other cut
flowers graced the center of each table and
were massed in profusion around the hand
some counter facing the main entrance.
The receiving party, consisting of Presi
dent Rohrer and the members of the
library board, General O. M. Dodge, Mayor
and Mrs. Macrae and Captain Rutherford
of the Dodge Light Guards, was stationed
In the auditorium on the second floor.
The reception was from 8:l to 10 o'clock
and during this time there was a continual
stream of visitors. As was to be expected
the crowd at the commencement of tha
reception waa the largest and for a while
the auditorium and entrance was badly
congested.
Membera of the Dodge Light Guards i
were stationed In each room and assisted
materially In making the Inspection of
the building pleasant for the visitors by
Imparting Information aa to the purpose
tho room tn which they were stationed was
designed for.
General Dodge expressed himself as
much pleased with the interior arrange
ment of the .building and the handsome
furnishings, which la hi opinion, wers
complete In evi ry detail and apparently
filled every need.
BLAME PLACED OS DEAD K5G1NEF.R
Failed to Observe Rnle to Mob for
Crossing.
The remains of Nelson H. Woods and
Bd. Hosier, engineer and fireman respect
ively of the Burlington fast mall train,
who met their death Monday evening In
the wreck at the Wnhash crossing caused
by the fast marl crashing Into a Wabash
freight train, were taken to their homes
In Creston yesterday. Coroner Treynor
empaneled a Jury which viewed the bodies
before their remove.! and then adjourned
the inquest until today.
Burlington officials admit that the blame
for the wreck lay with the engineer of the
fast mall train as he failed to observe the
rule to come to a dead atop at the crossing.
For what reason Engineer Woods neglected
to obey this rule will never be known.
The Burlington succeeded In getting Its
track cleared yesterday morning but the
Wabash track was still blocked until late
last night. The locomotive of the fast mall
was still In the ditch last night although
the tender was gotten onto a flat car. The
delay In clearing the Wabash track Is due
to the amount of grain which has to be
loaded Into new cars. It Is expected that
the Wahaah tracks will be cleared this
mornir.2.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
rE8 MOINES, Sept. 12. (Special.) The
fight of the farmers at Melvln has been
finally answered by the granting of a site
for an elevator by the Rock Island rail
road. The site was granted only after a
hearing on the part of the railroad com
pany at which the attorney for the road
and the commissioners were present.
Tho fight haa attracted considerable no
tice over the state on account of the fact
that the petitioners had charged, verbally
at least, that the reason for the road not
desiring to grant the site was that they
were receiving a commission for- the
amounts of grain bought at the station.
As soon as the hearing was completed,
the railroad indicated its willingness to
comply with the wishes of the farmers and
what threatened to be a fight has been
adjusted amicably.

the entire number taken by that solicitor.

damaged and in a few places grain In
stack was Injured by rain. Haying Is
nearly finished, with an excellent crop se
cured. The soil I In excellent condition
for seeding and a little wheat has been
sown. Corn has advanced nicely toward
maturity, but not as rapidly as during
the preceding week. Considerable corn Is
now beyond danger of Injury by frost, and
immunity for two weeka of good weather
will ripen all but the wry late corn. There
Is every prospect for a very heavy crop.
WEATHER BIRF.AC CROP REPORT
Corn Una Generally Made Good Prog
ress Toward Maturity.
WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Crop condi
tions are ' summarlted as follows In the
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau. Is
sued today: ,
In the lower Missouri, central Mississippi
and Ohio valleys the week was cool and
wet and farm work was more or less In
terrupted in these districts, more particu
larly In the western portion. The temper
ature conditions In the Atlantic coast and
gulf districts and on the Pacific coast were
generally favorable.
Notwithstanding tha excessive moisture
and cool weather over the greater part of
the corn belt, generally corn has made
good progress toward maturity, having ad
vanced rapidly in the northern and west
ern portions. Much of tho crop Is already
safe and cutting is general over the south
ern portion of the belt. In Iowa It Is esti
mated that four-fifths of the crop will be
safe from frost by the 25th, and the re
mainder by the 30th.
The harvesting of spring wheat is now
practically finished in Nerth Dakota and
Minnesota. Large areas, however, are on
flooded lowlands in the last named state,
and have been abandoned. In North Da
kota the little threshing that has, been
done Indicates disappointing yields, con
siderable being smutty. In South Dakota
the yield of spring whent is good, but the
quality is variable. Threshing la com
pleted In Oregon, and harvesting Is pro
gressing under favorable conditions In
Wsshlngton, except In the northwestern
countiea, where It has been interrupted by
showers.
In the Carollnas the cotton -sltuittin is
not materially changed as compared with
that of the previous week. In Bnu'.n Caro
lina a slight improvement is Indicated !n
some localities and deterioration In others,
the plant having stopped growing on sandy
lands but continues green and Is fruiting
on clay soils. Slight Improvement Is noted
In Alabama and portions of Louiii.ina and
Texas, but In Florida, Georgia, Tenncsste,
Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indian Ter
ritory and the greater part of Texas there
has been more or less deterioration with
slight Improvement over scattered areas.
Boll weevils and other pests are increasing
in portions of Texas. Generally Cie weather
conditions throughout the belt nave been
highly favorable for picking, which work
has been actively carried on.
In the middle Atlantic states, New Eng
land and the Ohio valley the cut: In and
housing of tobacco have progred umWr
favorable conditions, this work being about
half finished In Kentucky, nearly com
pleted In Maryland, Virginia und Tennes
see, ana completed in jNortn traroiitia.
No -Improvement tn the apple cotkiolc la
Indicated, a very poor crop being promised
In practically all of tha import tut uppie
States.
The general outlook for ootAtO"S con
tinues unpromising, blight and decay lolnrf
extensively reported except In New Eng
land and portions of the Missouri vplley,
where the prospects are mdre favorahla.
In New England a good crop is Indicated,
and In Iowa the early potatoes aie goo
but the late have Wen damaged by blight.
I lowing and seeding have made excellent
progress throughout the central valleys,
lake region and middle Atlantic coast dis
trict. Haa Sold Thousands of Bottlea of

FIVE YEARS' OPTION IS OVERLOOKED
Coancll Meets Today to Act on Matter
and Probably Will Award
Bonds to Another
Firm.
The sale of the Twenty-fourth street pav
ing bonds has been temporarily deferred
on account of the misunderstanding with
Well. Roth & company, of Cincinnati.
When the bids were opened It was plain
that this firm 1 had bid on twenty-year
bonds, nlit taking Into consideration the
five years option. Vice Presldnnt Adklne
of the council telegraphed the firm regard
ing the matter and received this replyl
"For optional bonds we offer par and ac
crued Interest, you to allow $400 for furnish
ing blank bonds."
W. J. Hayes ft Sons of Cleveland, are the
next high bidders. These bankers offered
$P0 and accrued Interest for the general
bonds 'and $303 premium and accrued In
terest for the $20,000 Intersection paving
bonds. Thay also offered to furnish the
blank bonds free of cost to the city.
Today tha council' will meet and take tip
the sale and without doubt will award the
bonds to Hayes ft Sons. From the tenor
of the Hayes bid the city officials Infer
that they are anxious to possess the se
curities. In case tha council decides to
accept the Hayes bid the firm will be noti
fied at once by wire and If everything la
satisfactory the city clerk will forward the
histories aa soon aa possible In order to
secure the funds for tha paving, so that
work can cornhjence this fall.
Extending- Conduits,
When the 'Nebraska Telephone company
started to lay conduits In the business por
tion of the city, F street was designated as
the northern limit and Q street the south
ern. A change was decided on a day or two
ago and now the conduits on Twenty-fourth
street will extend from A street to Q street.
Another addition ia the laying of eondulta
on Missouri avenue from Twentieth to
Twenty-fourth streets. Material for these
extensions Is being placed on the ground
and the force of men will be Increased.
Cm It street the conduits are being laid
from Twenty-fourth street west to the
Union Pacific tracks. Just as soon as the
conduits are laid the cables will be pulled
and run Into the present central station
at Twenty-fourth and N streets. The poles
on Twenty-fourth street and on all streets
where conduits are laid will then be re.
moved. No start has been mads on the
new building at Twenty-fourth and K
streets yet. It appears to be the intention
of the company's officers to lay the founda
tions this fall and let them settle during
the winter and start building operations
In the spring.
