V. A. Nnsh of Omaha, president of i
' ritliens' Gae and Electric company of this I t tne New theater,
Mi., waa preneni. ivmn -" -
the weekly session of the executive com
mittee of the Commercial etub. The grlev
..iuici committee of the club, to which had
" been referred the complalnta about the
IT as service, was also present and the ques
Hon waa discussed from all points and In
all phases.
Mr. Nash told the committee substan
tially what he told tha city council a few
weeks ago. He said that when the present
; company took hold of the plant It was
practically In a worn out condition, that
-- the pipes and mains were in many places
rotten. Every cent the company had
'. rarned during the last five years and all
. the money It could obtain elsewhere, he
t said, had .been expended iu Improving the
f plant by putting in pew and larger mains.
"I have Just returned from the east,"
Tid Mr. Nash, "where I obtained tjO.OOO
nore, and this will all be expended on lm
, .rqvlng the service here between this and
: jex-t October, by which time we expect to
i able to give a service that will not cause
'.my more complaints. I admit the people
- it : Council Bluffs have had a grievance,
hut It was not the company's fault."

In Justice to tha men who had their money
lit the plant. Gar, he explained, could not
' ' be furnished aa cheap In a city of 30,00(1
V Inhabitants as It could be in a city with
, - a population of ICQ.OOt). Mr. Nash stated
further that he would be willing to allow
any committee of the Commercial club to
the company would not ask any more than
" the members of such committee aa buslneaa
men would think that It was entitled to.
Regarding the electric lighting of the
city, Mr. Nash Insisted that the light towers
' must come down. He said they had long
- ago been discarded In other cities and that
with the foliage in the residence streets
. here, they could not furnish adequate light
. He urged the adoption of thirty-two-candle
power Incandescent lamps scattered
throughout the residence streets In their
place and aaid that tha company would be
wining, under a new contract. If lncan
descent lights were adopted In place of the
towers, to give the city a percentage of
Its gross earnings with which the lighting
could be extended.
Regarding the complaint that the power
. was furnished from Omaha, Mr. Nash said
that if the plant was on this side of the
river It would make the difference of one
man. "As It is, four of our best men In
, the plant tn Omaha are residents of Council

SHOOTING THE JUNGLE TERROR
Thrilling Experience of m Saartsmaa
Tracking the Tiger la Its.
Lair.
Hugh S. Gladstone tells how he shot an
Indian tiger: "We walked for about a mile
along an ill-defined track through tblcktsli
Junglo. Arrived at a spot where the
Jungle waa rather " clearer, we were
shown our machans, or seats, tied up
at a safe height In the trees. . In this
case, charpoys, or native beds, on
which we sat cross-legged, or wicker stools,
had been securely lashed by all tour
corners In trees about thirty feet nigh and
about fifty yards one from the other. I
had drawn the. lucky number one. Long
bamboo ladders had been brought and with
the help of these wa climbed up Into our
machans. Mine was tied about twenty feoi
from the ground, where, with the slighttst
breeze and my additional weight, it swayed
most alarmingly. The heat, beating down
through the bare branches of the trees, was
errlflc. Tha first excitement wss caused-
iy a mob of monkeys, which cams from be-
lind. leaping and bounding over tries and
hrough bushes at tha most astonishing
need. All around one could hear doves
nd pigeons cooing; otherwise the jungle
eemed peacefully tranquil.
"All of a sudden we heard, about half a
nlle in front of us, tbs signal snot fired for
the beat to. begin. Instantly there wf an
uproar. Every beater shouted and many of
thorn had gongs, antiquated firearms (some
of them seven feet long) or large rattles.
These they beat, fired or whirled with a
will, which made the Jungle perfect
pandemonium. Excitement ran high and
every ear was strained to catoh the Brat
snapping of a twig or to hear the footfall
of the tiger or the crackling leaves. One
of the coolies, flanking In a tree on sny
right, suddenly taught my eye. He was
clapping his hands gently and throwing
pieces of stick Into tha undergrowth below
him. As he pointed I could hear s rustling
and almost directly after came a double
roar. The noise In the distance grew closer
