The mayor and city council will be tem lmiHrlly enjoined from entering Into such .contract tir payln out any money there tntd'r. In rendering hi ilsclslon the Judas pro nounced, the flve-yettr contract at tJs "ex l ejtKlve, unreasonable, unjust and unright eous." tie said, substantially : "Th court l not Informed fully as to 1! 'lie rrt ant rounding this (Mie. The city I'hr made no answer, though the city at torney nM II would .answer later. The, )tr company has fled no answer and of-r-.ert no testimony h to the coat of the equipment, which It waa Ht liberty to do. The five oiinrllmen who voted for the or- llnance have alone answered. The court Is not fully Informed n to the coat of the lulpment. on which It la claimed royalty la paid, but 1 satisfied aa to what the coat should be "The court is satisfied that $14 la the hiKheat price the city ahould pay for gaa under the fninchlae requirements for a sixty-candle power lamp, and Blao that ueh a lamp la the only practicable and iiereayary one." I annol K.irrrd franchise Price. "In no event can the shs company ever n-iulte a Inrgci price thiin la fixed In iia fi'-tnehlse, Thut provldea for $25 per lump per yr-nr for five fret of rhb per hour. The testimony here, uncontradicted, la tlmt only two nnd clght-tentha feet of gaa per hour l inntiinifiil to rrA uel no- n lvtv.PHli(11i oowei light and three feet and eleven-tenths ! ill pinducing an rlghty-onndle power light "The court ts satisfied that $14 for the gaa alone Is the maximum amount the council has any power to pay to the company for a sixty-candle power light. This would In clude lighting, extinguishing and cleaning. The court also Is satisfied that 116 Is the highest amount the council can pay the company for an eighty-candle power light. I have personally examined the mantels and - burners used and have reached the conclu sion that 4 would be a fair and equitable price to allow for the same. Tills, then, would make S as the outside limit for n sixty-candle power light. I ndlaputed Fvldenee at Hand. "There Is undisputed evidence here, given by Mr. Ziiiiman and by Mr. Mlchaelscn. that to pay for extra candle power beyond sixty would be a dissipation of the funds of the city, without any value to the taxpay ers or benefit to the city Itself. From pcr aonal observation of the contrivance used on the street lamps I am convinced that a contract for an eighty-candle power light would b Improvident and could not be car- - lied out, aa the equipment la too delicate. Sunh a contract would not be valid or bind ing, and the court doea not believe such a light can be furnished. "Beyond $4 aa an allowance for the man ' tel there la no discretion In the council, any mora than there would be for the council men to contract for lead pencils at $t each, - when other people could buy the same pen cil for 6 centa. Beyond $1S for a aixty candle power light there la no discretion In the council.' "ifie totaf amount to be paid In nny pre year ahould not exceed fcff.ZW. and for five years, as this contract contem- plates, not exceed r.3K.W). Beyond theae amounts the contract la of no force and should not be sustained, as the court be lieves. The contract under consideration ' would give the company In excess of these amounts IliOuO per year, or IWO.000 for five years. Such a contract ought not to be entered Into." I uaaaal Ctrcnmataacea la Cava. "There ara unuaual circumstances con nected with this case, the first of which Is that tha councltmen would not take the legal advice of tho city attorney, but took tha advice ot the attorney of tha gas com Ntnv In the second plac they deliber ately violated the order of tha court In ' pursuance of their agreement with the gas company. In tha third place the method of crowding this matter through the coun ' .11 was very unusual. The mayor and policemen had no business In that council chamber at all. Theae circumstances are merely Incidental, however, and are con ( sldtred only as circumstances." Mr. Connell. for the gas company. In quired of the court as to the point raised by attorneys for the plaintiff, and on which they dwelt with great emphatiU, that the ordinance and contract modified the orig inal franchise. Other Points Overshadow it. . Judge Sutton replied that tho other points luvijved hud overshadowed this lu his mind to the extent he had really given I lint point no consideration and did not think It neceaiary to pass upon it at this time. He rather felt that the contract war not u modlll. ation of the franchise, hut would :jilmlt there was room for dis cussion. Argument tle-n arose 4 to the form of ; the order granting the temporary Injunc tion. After Messrs. Connell, Brteu and 4er had been heard It waa agreed that ', the company shall continue to light the streets, but shall have no monetary beu-flt under the contract of October 11, but shall I he paid fur it service later as Its rights j may uppuar. 1 Mr. Brecn uggvsU-d that Hie case be ad- J , am ed for hearing on Its merits after the flaming of the temporary injunction order j l.y plaintlffs's attornr), but no decision I ws reached on this point. ) NOV W All ON El ECTMH I.

For years tho public service corpora tions pave had the upper hand In their con tracts with th city government. The time f'sj- a change of this program has arrived.

The committee will recommend that the mass meeting adopt a report In favor of a special election to vote on a $25i0OO bond Issue. The t'nloii Stock Yards company will then publicly deilmv Its agreement with the committee. It la also likely that the minority report of the committee will alro be read before the as sembly and submitted for consideration. It la understood thut this mass meeting Is an advisory body and It la probable that what ever course they recommend to the council will be l.illowed. However, the real power to call a special election lies with the coun cil alone. So far the council has nut pub licly expressed an opinion either way. Tho meeting will be one of great public In terest. ew Commission Hatea Posted. The Stock exchange held its regular busi ness meeting yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Jamison, who recently re ceived more or less notoriety owing td his listing recently wydded a prominent Call fornian woman before his first wife, who lives In Omaha, had secured a decree of di vorce, lias been a iifi"l at the Grand hotel In Council Bluffs -since Wednesday after noon. His visit here waa to try to effect :i settlement with wife No. 1 and the negotla tlons nre still pending. He left last evenlnf for the eastern part of the state to vial! relatives and expects to return in a few days. In the meantime Attorney George S Wright, who has been retained by Jamison will conduct the negotiations for him with Mrs. Jamison No. 1 nnd her legal represen. tatlves. The newspaper stories printed recent!) about Jamison and his dual marriage show that he had experienced a varied career and this he does not deny. Shortly after his ar rival in Council Bluffs he disclosed hi Identity to the management of the hotel and stated the purpose of his visit here. He appeared to Is? rather proud of the notorletj he had received and freely displayed copies ot the Omaha and California pnpers in which the history of his career and the events leuding up to his marriage with the young and handsome widow of the late Judge J. A. Campbell of Kan Francisco were given. While admitting the truth of the greatet part of the newspaper accounts Jamison when seen in his room at the hotel yester day morning denied that he had wittingly or knowingly committed a bigamous mar riage when he married Mrs. Campbell last November. He said that being anxious to secure a divorce from his wife in Omaha, she being equally willing that he should du so, he went to Omaha and arranged mut ters so that his wife should secure the di vorce, he paying all the expenses, Including th fees of the attorneys. The lawyers, h suld, proved up the case and he suppose.' that they would secure the proper decree from the court and that by the time he reached California again he would be free l marry Mrs. Campbell, which he did Subsequently he learned that the lawyers whom he claims to have employed for hi wife failed to take a decree and wife No. 1, he alleges, now refuses to do so until he pays her a huge sum as alimony. Jamison, declared emphatically that he would not be coeivcd into giving any ali mony to his wife. No. 1. and up to yesterday evening, when he left lor the eastern pari of the state, the negotiations had failed of result. LOCAL BREVITIES. -cJ1"; K '"""'''cod will meet at Mrs. W. 1..
