STREET SWEEPER PLAN NOT ABANDONED
X amber of Other .Matter Called to
Attention of Conncll Have Mot
Been Acted Tpon as Promptly
as He Desires.
An Interesting session of the city coun
cil Is looked for tonight, as It Is expected
that Mayor Macrae will say a few thlnga
to the aldermen. He Is not feeling at all
satisfied with the manner In which the
Idermen turned down his recommenda
tion as to the auto street sweeper and
sprinkler. There are also other matters
which the mayor called the attention of
the city council to In his communication
two weeks ago, but which as yet have
not received the consideration which be
consider they were entitled to.
Mayor Macrae, It Is stated, Will, de-
Spite the opposition pf certain of the
aldermen, take up the cudgel again In be
half of his street cleaning plan by the
combination auto machine. He says that
In this plan he haa the support of the
Commercial club and that the leasing of
the machine will be a means of materially
decreasing the expense of keeping the
streets clean.
Another matter which the mayor will
Insist shall receive attention at the hands
of the aldremen Is that of providing win
ter quarters for the Indian creek dredge.
Nothing has been done In the matter and
the dredge Is still moored In the creek
near the southern limits of the city.
Mayor Macrae recommended that the
city council take the necessary steps to
compel the Burlington and Great Western
railroads to maintain gates at their Main
street crossings, and, while the aldermen
viewed the suggestion with favor, up to
date nothing has been done In the- mat
tor. Some definite decision In the matter
of replacing the electric light tower at
Broadway and First street Is looked for
tonight, as residents of that vicinity want
either the tower replaced or the lights
conveniently distributed.
Referring to the manner In which some
of his recommendations had been received
by the members of the city council, Mayor
Macrae yesterday said almost destnjyed
his ambition to make a "clean street city"
out of Council Bluffs and to urge other
measures for the betterment of the com
munity. EAGLES' PICHIO A GREAT SUCCESS
Only Drawback Was InsnAlclent
Supply of t'atflah.
The annual pionlc of the Council Bluffs
aerie of Eagles at the Driving park yes
terday proved a great succesa In every re
spect. Barring the dust for a while during
the afternoon the weather was all that
could be desired. There was a fluttering
attendance, among the crowd being many
members of the order from Omaha and
South Omaha.
A feature of the affair was the catfish
bake, presided over by "Augustine." the
noted expert In that line. Three hundred
pounds of fish had been supplied but this
proved entirely inadequate and late comers
had to be disappointed. "
During the afternoon there were a num
ber of races and other sports, the prises
for which had been contributed by the
merchants of the city with almost profuse
liberality. In fact almost everyone who
competed In any of the events drew a
prise. Dancing was indulged in until a
late hour, and there was a short program
of speeches, among the principal speakers
being P. J. McBride, Charles Paschal, and
J. J. Hughes.
Meeting! of Independent Phone Men.
A meeting of the SouthwesUrn Iowa Tele
phone association has been culled for Sat
urday, October 28, in thla city. At thia

rangement reached for connecting with the
new independent exchange In this city.
The Council Bluffs Independent company
has Insisted that the smaller systems In
this section must replace their present
wires with standard copper Unas before
they will be permitted connection. This
will Involve a heavy expense on some of
the smaller concerns and It is said there
haa been more or less opposition to this
requirement. This is one of the matters
to come up for arrangement at the meet
lng. The new clearinghouse movement
will also coma up for discussion.
The meeting will be held in the large ball
room of the Grand hotel and the opening
session will be at 10 a. m.

BIG MEETING OF DAIRYMEN
Noted 8paisra 8obdnle4 to Deliver
Adsrsisei at Convention,
SOME LEGISLATION TO BE ASKED FOR
Rational Gnard to Ask the Legislature
for Lamer Appropriations for
Its Snpport lJihor Com
Ion Reports.
(From a Stsff Correspondent)
DE6 MOINES, la., Oct. 8 (Special.)
The Btate Dairy association expects to hold
the largest and best annual convention at
Cedar Rapids November 1, X and 8 that
It has ever held. The best men have been
scoured to take part on the program and
the exhibits will be the largest and best.
Jules Lumbard Pf Omaha, who has never
missed a meeting of the Iowa State Dairy
association in many years, will be present
to sing. Among the prominent speakers
secured are A. W. Trow, one of the best
authorities on butter making in the state
of Minnesota; W. J. Gillette, one of the
best authorities of Wisconsin and a breeder
of Holsteln cattle; W. B. Johnson, one of
the best practicaLymttermakers In Iowa.
Profs. Curtlss, McKay and Larson of the
State agricultural college will be present
besides the state dairy commissioner and
his assistants and other prominent speakers
on dairy topics. Prof. C. D. Smith of the
agricultural' college of Michigan will also
be present to deliver an address.
It Is more than likely that in drafting
the pure food bill which will be Introduced
Into the next legislature provision will be
made for compelling creameries to place
on the outside of the package of butter
the exact state of the cream from which
It was made. It Is claimed that the ruinous
warfare which the creameries of the state
have been carrying on has caused them to
take all kinds of cream. In fact every
thing that is brought to them, and pay
the same price as though it was good. It
Is claimed that when the milk trains bring
the milk to the centralization planta many
of the cans are discovered to be spoiled
and fermented so that it Is impossible to
make good butter from the cream. Officials
of the dairy commissioner's office claim this
Is due to the failure of the farmers to
keep their separators cleanly. All of this
Is thrown back onto the creamery for It
Is claimed that If the creameries refused
to buy the spoiled cream the farmers would
wash their separators. For this reason
It Is proposed to force them to place on
the butter the condition of the cream be
lieving that this will lead to making butter
from nothing but good cream.
No Inspection of Gypsnm.
The report of Mine Inspector Ed 8weeney
and State Labor Commissioner E. D. Brig
ham on the condition of the gypsnm mines
of the state has been placed In the hands
of the governor for transmission to the
legislature. As the report Is to the legis
lature It will not be made pubtlo till the
legislature meets, but It is learned that the
report Is not favorable to state Inspection
of the gypsurri mines. It is claimed that
they are different In every way to coal
mines and that furthermore the operators
are already using every precaution and
are making double entries wherever neces
sary. Cities Want the Factory.

Agricultural society, Horticultural society
and Forestry society during the second

tions meet in this city.
Inspect Iowa's Cheese.
It is learned that the government haa ar
ranged to send to this state this winter
a man instructed to investigate the ques
tion of why Iowa does not make more and
better cheese. It Is the claim of the cheese
men of the state that there is needed an
abundance of good mountain or spring
water. Iowa does not have these luxuries.
It is pointed out that we have no means
on the farms of keeping the m'.lk at an
even low temperature, which Is claimed
to account for the variance.
State Gnard Wants Money.
Members of the state guard are prepared
to make an onslaught on the atate legisla
ture when It convenes next January for a
bigger appropriation. It Is claimed that
the money now on hand is insufficient.
The appropriations asked for in the past

there should be a larger appropriation. It
Is proposed to hold a conference here of
the colonels and a large number of the
captains and after deciding on Just what
Is wanted every member of the guard will

BRINGING PRESSURE ON PORTE
Financial Control of Macedonia Is to
Re Insisted On,
CONSTANTINOPLE Oct. 8.-Collectlve
reports of the six embassies regarding the
financial control of Macedonia were handed
to the ports Saturday. The financial dele
gates of the powers are proceeding to
Uskub.
A dispatch from Constantinople October
t said that the porte persisted In Its un
yielding attitude in regard to the financial
control of Macedonia. Replying to the
collective note of September 26 from the
six powers, declaring that their decision
to assume international control of the
finances of Macedonia was unalterable,
the porte reiterated what it. regarded as
Insuperable objections to the scheme. The
dispatch said the delegates of the powers
who were to act as financial controllers
of Macedonia must remain idle until
pressure compelled the ports to Issue the
orders -necessary to enable them to enter
upon their functions.
MUTINEERS CAUSE DISASTER
Report Officers Fired Magaxlne When
Men Try to Seise the
Ship.
VICTORIA. B. C. Oct. 8. The steamer
Tartar, which arrived yesterday, brought
news from Japan that the story current
thst the disaster to the battleship Mikasa
at Basebo was occasioned as a result of a
mutiny on board, because of the resent
ment by the crew of the peace terms.
Robert W. Collins, who represented the
Associated Presa with Kurokl'a army
throughout the campaign, was a passenger
on the Tartar, bound for Washington, and
said the story was given some credence In
diplomatic circles In Japan. Mr. Collins
said the report was that the men had
mutinied to seize the ship, when some offi
cers fired the magazine. Soon after the
disaster Admiral Togo went to Toklo to
lay a report of the occurrence before the
emperor.
STANDS BY RUSSIAN ALLIANCE
Paris Paper Points Ont Reasons Why
It Should Remain la
Straw.
PARIS, Oct. 8. The necessity for main
taining a Franco-Russian alliance is vig
orously urged In the course of a leading
article In the semi-official Temps, which
points out that the public opinion of both
countries is In favor of continuing the
alliance. The article adds that the ac
cords with Italy and Great Britain served
to allay annoying misunderstandings; that
both were the natural outoome of events
and that France ought categorically to
refuse to renounce them. The Temps,
however, does not favor an Anglo-French
alliance, which, It says, would be useful
to Great Britain, but compromising to
France and would probably create trouble
in Europe.
COLONIZATION PLAN FAILS
Australia Hedges Gift of Lands
Ahont with Too Many
Restrictions.
LONDON. Oct. 8. The colonization
scheme of General Booth of the Salvation
Army appears to have collapsed as far aa
Australia Is concerned. General Booth pro
posed to send out 6,000 families, provided
the Australian government would give them
land. The government announced Its wil
lingness to consider the scheme, but the
colony called loudly for a process of selec
tion in order to prevent the Immigration of
needy colonists. Aa a result General Booth
haa cabled Alfred Deaktn, prime minister
of Australia, expressing his regret that
owing to these difficulties he cannot pro
ceed with an effort that is likely to Involve
conflict.

Islands at the mouth of the Yantftse river
as a result of the typhoon at tho beginning
of September was tremendous. The North
China Dally News of Shanghai says: "To
the east of Tamngming two Islands, one
called Tawoshaw, the other Shlhousha,
distant about twenty miles from Woosung,
have suffered much from the typhoon,
nearly all ' the Inhabitants having been
swept away. The iRlanda have only been
Inhabited for a short time, comparatively
speaking as they arc of recent formation
and are not much above the high water
mark. It la reported that nearly l,0u0 peo
ple have been drowned on those Inlands
and the smaller islands adjacent. Tamag-
mlng Itself haa not suffered much, being
well above the high water mark."
The Shanghai paper Bays that the dam
age to the Canadian Pacific liner Empress
of Japan by the typhoon will necesnltate
the expenditure of 8100,000 for repairs.

formerly the Rio de Grande du 8ol, foun

crew of fifty-four was saved by tho German

time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use

the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness, chorea, or St.
Vitus's dance, and other consequences
of womanly weakness or disease.
MOTHER Or THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family
oftentimes carries the whole burden of
responsibility so far as the home med
ication of common ailments of the girls

doctor's visits are very often much too
great. At such times the mother is
invited to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y., for medical advice,
which is given free. Correspondence is
held sacredly confidential.

HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
Young women or matrons should not
allow themselves to look sallow and
wrinkled because of those pains and
weaknesses which become chronic and
are the result of colds, tight lacing, and
the imprudent care of the womanly t ys
tern. Many a woman would look beau
tiful, have healthy color and bright eyes
if it were not for those drains on Ler
strength and those weaknesses which
come all too frequently and make her
life miserable. There is a ready-to-use
Prescription, used a great many years by
Dr. R. V. Pierce in his large practice s
a Specialist in women's diseases, whirl

on the market, as it contains neither
alcohol nor any narcotic, or other harm
ful drug. It is purely vegetable. It is
