CHANGE WATER ORDINANCE
Council Likely to Defer Time of Going; Into
Effect Until April.
WOULD BE CONVENIENCE TO COMPANY
Belief In Many Quarters that Com
pany W ill Accept the Cat In Hates
Hather Than Engage In Ki
peaalve Litigation.
The city cm lull Is wheduled to meet
tonight, and It wan stated yesterday that
the qiK'sllon of amending th water ratea
ordinance ao as to postpone the dute of
going Into effect until April 1, will be
brought up. Severul of the couticllmen
have expressed themselves us In ,favor of
making this amendment, believing that It
will not work any material disadvantage
to the people. "The rates have been radi
cally reduced and the waterworks company,
in my opinion, Is entitled to this little cour
tesy, at least." was the statement of one
of the councllmen yesterday.
Although neither Manager K. W. Hart
nor George S. Wright, attorney for the
waterworks company, has made any state
ment to tho effect. It seems to be the
opinion among some of the members of
the city council that the waterworks com
pany, rather than plunge Itself and the
city Into what might prove almost endless
und costly litigation, would accept the rate
ordinance, prlvlded It did not go Into
effect until the beglnlng of the next qunr
ter, which would be April 1. This, how
ever. Is merely the opinion of these coun
cllmen and Is not authorized by any state
ment or Intimation from either Manager
Hart or Attorney Wright,
The city council realizes, it Is said, that
soma agreement with the waterworks com
pany must be had before long. It is con
ceded that the city cannot at the present
time acquire ownership of the waterworks
plant by purchase, and that until it can
the waterworks company Is entitled to
have a new franchise. One of the city
officials, speaking of the matter yester
day, snld: "In my opinion, If the water
works company should elect to accept the
rate ordinance, provided It did not go Into
effect until April 1, there would be little
or no opposition to the waterworks com
pany being granted a new franchise. I
believe the people would see the Justice
of It and I do not think there would be
any conceited opposition to a franchise
when the question would be submitted to a
(special election."
This evening Is also the date set for
receiving and opening the bids for the
work on Indian creek, which it In pro
posed to widen and deepen from Sixteenth
avenue to Klghth street. The bids must
be In the hands of tho city clerk Zur
muehlen . by noon today. The estimated
cost of the work is about 22.0n0. and the
money will be provided by the several rail
roads having bridges across the creek
and who will be materially benefitted by
by the work.

Jury Awards Wife Damages
Injary tea Hnsband.
The district court Jury In the flO.UOU dam
age suit of Mrs. Alvlna Nelson against
Seth May, R. A. Filter, Chris Schultt and
T. J. Griffin, four Council Bluffs saloon
keepers, which went out Saturday even
ing, brought In a aealed verdict at an early
hour yesterday morning. The verdict was
reported to lie in favor of the plaintiff and
that the Jury had awarded her damages In
the sum of fl.'JuO.
Soren Nelson, husbund of the plaintiff,
waa formerly section foreman for the
Northwestern road at Cresix-nt City, lie
came to Council Bluffs Sunday, August C
and is said tu have visited a number of
saloons, including those of the four de
fendants, wheie he Is alleged to have se
cured sufficient liquor to make him badly
Intoxicated. Walking home to Crescent
that night In his drunken condition Nel
son lay down beside the tracks with his
right arm over one of the rails. A train
came along and after it had passed Nelson
was minus his right hand and subsequently
without a Job. His wile then brought suit
against the four saloon keepers whom she
alleged had sold her husband the liquor.
A feature of the trial was the attempt
on the part of two bonding companies
which were bondsmen for two of the de
fendant saloon keepers to evade respon
sibility on technicalities. One company
moved for dismissal of the case as to it
on the grounds that the description of the
location of the saloon was defective In
the bond, while the other sought dismissal
on the ground that Its local agent had
not leen shown to have authority to Issue
bonds for saloon keepers. As a result of
tho attempt of the bonding companies to
evade responsibility In thla case Judge
Thornell has ordered that hereafter no
saloon bond from a bonding company shall
bo approved unless It Is shown that the
agent issuing such bond has special and
dellnlte authority to do so.
The Jury In the suit of W. S. Barnett
against M. Marcus, which went out Satur
day evening, also brought In a sealed ver
dict at an early hour yesterday morning.
The verdict. It was reported, found for
the plaintiff In the sum of $52.76. Barnett
sued for $200 balance claimed to be due him
for carpenter work on houses of the de
fendant in Omaha. Marcus resisted the
claim, alleging the work was not up to
contract, and filed a counter claim of $1M.

rnlfnraa Test Books Favored.
County Superintendent of Schools O. J.
McManus says that advices received by
him Indicate that the proposition to adopt
uniform text books throughout Potta
wattamie county will carry at the forth
coming school election.
The question of the expense to the
school patron by a change of text books
has been raised and on this point Super
intendent McManus has this to say:
The probabilities are that a change In
text hooks can be brought about where
It Is necessary to make the svsteem uni
form without any additional cost to tho
taxpayer. It should be clearly seen that
books can be had at a lower figure when
the county Is considered as a unit than
by dealing with each school district. A
company can much better afford to give
a better proposition where it is compelled
to make hut one contract for the entire
county. I'nder this system books are
paid for pi the actual cost. This enables
patrons !; buy their books at much less
cost than under the present system.
There are many advantages In having
a uniform system of text bonks. It en
ables the county superintendent to outline
the same kind of work for each school
In the county and In that way there is a
common standard of excellence to be at
tained, while in the present system it Is
Impossible to send out any material that
has a practical application in each school
district. However, the best argument In
favor of county uniformity is the fact
that people who are compelled to move
from one district to another will not be
compelled to buy new books. This Is a
burden that often falls upon those who
are least able to bear It.
Injured In a Runaway.
Jacob Ha mm. residing at 113 Fourth
street, had three ribs broken in a run

ernoon. He and a companion named John
son were driving in a buggy when they

The wheels caught In the tracks, making
the buggy swerve, and this frightened the
horse, which started off on a run. John
aon Jumped out, but Humm, who was
driving, stuck to the reins. At the corn-r
of First street the buggy collided with a
telephone pole and Hamm wai thrown

Dh MOINES. Feb. 13.-(SpecUI.)-Ao-oordlng
to the calendars of the senate and
house, there will be more work next weak
than either house has had yet. It was ex
pected that th pure food bill would make
some work. When It came time to consider
the measure on special order It was passed
without a dissenting vote In either house and
with no debate In the house and little In the
senate. The Warren school bill and the
Glllllland resolution, which took the greater
part of the week in the senate, are now In
the hands of the house and the resoution
Is on the calendar. The school bill Is In
the hands of the committee. The Glllllland
resolution will come up early In the week.
It In learned that some amendments will be
offered. The Cummins people fear that an
attempt will be made to so amend It that It
will be limited to charges of bribery, which
they claim the governor did not charge.
The Cummins people will Inslat If It is
amended at all that It be made hroadcr nnd
stripped of what they are pleased to term
"hot air."
An Important measure on the house cal
endar for Tuesday Is the Darrah bill to per
mit cities to exceed the limit of indebtedn' 84
If It Is for the purpose of buying or build
ing water works systems. This will bring
up the whole question of the indebtedness
of cities.
Following the Darrah bill the same day the
Mil from the senate requiring mulct peti
tions of consent to be circulated every Ave
years Is on for special order.
The Weeks bill for liquor Inspections will
also be one of the Important measures con
sidered In the house this week.
In the .Senate.
In the senate the important measure of
the week la the Crossley primary' election
bill, which Is on for special order for Mon
day afternoon at 2:30. The bill will be one
of the most discussed of the session. There
Is no doubt but strong opposition will be
entered against the bill. The Glllllland
resolution, coming at the time It did, has
complicated the situation somewhat. Tho
Cummlna people believe that sentiment for
the primary bill is being mado rapidly and
are not dlsnosed to nresa or hurrv the hill
any for that reason. They would welcome
the Investigation under the Glllllland reso
lution before action Is taken on the primary
bill, provided the Investigation under the
Glllllland resolution Is taken early enough.
There are a number of other measures on
tho calendar In the senate, but none except
the Crossley primary bill for special order.
It Is possible that the entire time may be
consumed with the consideration of this
measure.
The action of the senate and house In
voting to adjourn on next Wednesday till
the Tuesday following will give the mem
bers of the legislature n chance to con
sult their constituents ' before acting on
the primary bill. The discussion of the bill,
which begins tomorrow afternoon, will not
be concluded before "tlje time for the ad
journment. Every member will go home
for the receas and can then consult his
constituents on the subject.
The friends of the primary bill allege
that there will be a move on Monday from
the opposition to offer a substitute meas
ure which will be a county primary bill.
They assert that the effort or tho Blythe
adherents will be to vote for this measure
and then square themselves with their con
stituents by saying that they voted for a
primary law. The Cummins people are
planning to oppose the substitute and are
rather caustic In their criticism of the
move to Introduce as a substitute a meas
ure which the general body has not seen
and is not prepared to meet. They be
lieve, however, they will be able to kill
the substitute and keep the fight directly
on the Crossley bill.
For Experimentation.
A bill" offeree by E. W. Week In the
house and which will be recommended for
passage by the committee on agriculture,
appropriate $36,000 of the state fund for
experimental work and yet It ha hardly
attracted attention. The bill probably will
not become law because of the large ap
propriation attached to It, but it ha the
hearty recommendation of the committee
and the committee member consider It
iuch an Important measure that thev n v
the responsibility of. killing it off must
rest with the house. The bill clans a. i.
gantlo plan for experimental farm work.
it provide that the State college hall
carry on a comprehensive system of
cultural extension work, giving Instruction
in an part or the state In corn and Block
Judging at county fair, farmers' insti

Lobbyists More gecrctlTe.
Since the Introduction of the nillllland
resolution the middle of the week It 1
recognised that the railroad lobby la be
coming more secretive. It Is learned now
tliat the evidence in the hands of Gov
ernor Cummins on which he bases his
assertion that the "railroads are doing all
that money und organisation can do to
defeat the primary lw" la In the form
of letters which are alleged to have been
written by the railroad lobbyists to various
persons about the state. These letters
have been sent by the persons receiving
them to the governor and In them are dis
closed the plans and the determination to
defeat the primary bill. Since the publica
tion of the' Glllllland resolution these let
ters have been coming in largely Increased
numbers. Prominent members of the lobby
have been about the state house since the
offering of the Gllllllund resolution, but
not to the extent as formerly.- It Is gen
erally recognised by members of both
houses that there are not a many lobby
ists attending this session as In former
years, because of the fact that there are
no measures affecting railroads lieforc the
legislature. For this reason the Cummins
people assert there Is less excuse for any
being there.

Break Gromd
in the Southwest
This Spring
The prospects were never brighter than at present.
Each season a new record is made in production and output.
Farming land is advancing in price as steadily as it produces.
Very naturally, then, the time for action the time to break ground, is. now,
while lands can be secured for a small fraction of their coming value.
The climatic conditions of the Southwes t should be taken into consideration,
also. The winters are short and the climate a happy' mean between the ex
tremes of the North and South.
To enable you to investigate the Southwest and to satisfy yourself that they
are all they are claimed to be, the Rock Island will sell on the first and third
Tuesdays of each month, greatly reduced tickets to Southwestern points.
If you are not satisfied with your present conditions and prospects and want
to get "out doors" for an active life, for a successful career in the NEW,
SOUTHWEST, write me today.
