cate rialaly Ofcjeetaf Its
Promoter.
At a largely attended and most enthusi-
stlc meeting In the county court house
last night the Roosevelt Republicn club
of Pottawattamie county' wai ' 'organised.'
The meeting had been called by County
Chairman Wright for his offlr. but the
slxe of the crowd compelled him to ad
journ it to the south court room In the
county court House.
These officers war elected: president,
Victor E. Bender; rice president, Israel
Lovett; secretary. Painter ltmj" treasurer,
Henry H. Van Brunt.
The meeting; as had been anticipated, was
to all Intent and purposes a gathering of
the faction opposed, to Governor Cummin
and most of the speeches made this plain.
Among the crowd, however. Were several
well ' known adherents of Governor Cum
mins, but a was to be expected they were
few and far between.
County Chairman Wright in opening the
meeting ssld In substance that as dim
ming' friends had organised a Roosevelt
Cummins Republican lesgue In the county
and a he believed Pottawattamie county
-had not got awaY irom republican prin
ciples It was generally understood Mr.
Cummins had, he believed that It was only
right that they should - organise - a club
devoted to the t principles of republicanism
pure and simple, rather than for (he ag
grandisement of one man, regardless of his
principles and ideas. '
Short talks were made by City Solicitor
C. F. Klmbair, W. B. Reed, M. M. Par
kinson, State Senator C. F. Saunders, C. W.
McDonald, former County Attorney W. H.
Klllpack, H. J. Chambers. Judge G. II.
Scott, W. 8. Balrd and W. A. My niter.
The four last are candidates for the nom
ination for Judge of the .superior court
and took occasion to call attention to the
fact which caused more or less amusement.
While some of the speakers were ' most
conservative In their remarks, others openly
announced their opposition to Cummins and
to what they termed "the republicanism
which emanated from Des Moines." v
Congressman Walter I. Smith was en
thusiastically elected a member of the
club and the secretary Instructed to notify
him of the same.
The club adjourned to meet at the same
place Friday night. May 11, the night fol
lowing the Cummins meeting at the New
theater. It was announced that only mem
bers of the club and those wining to sign
the membership roll would be admitted at
the next pieetlng.

As a result of a Northwestern freight
ttaln blocking the Broadway crossing Mon
day night for sixteen minute an Informa
tion was filed yesterday In the superior
court by Hie city authorities against John
F. Montgomery, local agent' of the railroad.
The city authorities have some misgivings
as to' whether th city ordinance prohlb-
ltlng train standing on street crossings
over five iiilniits at a time will hold water
in Its present shape and the matter lias
been referred to the city solicitor. The
ordinance Is not specific as to who should
be : held responsible when a crossing is
blockaded by a train, . The recent ordinance
limiting the speed of trains within the city
limit make the member of the train
crew directly responsible in case of viola.
Hon of.th measure. Mayor JJacrae sug
gested yesterday that the- ordinance regu
lating tho blockading of street crossings
by railroad train be amended so a to
make the train crew responsible In case of
violation. -
It I ald that' there I a, state law pro
hibiting the blockading of street crossings
by railroads nd there was' some talk at
police headquarters yesterdnjy of,, 'referring
the Northwestern case to the'dlstrlot grand
Jury, which convened yesterday.

Councilman .Maloney; chairman of the
committee on police and health, ha had
an ordinance drafted which not only pro

Complaint has been made that mny prop
erty owner whose lots back on the creek
accumulate big heaps of manure and other
refuse matter on the banks of the creek
awaiting high water to carry It off and
thus save the Expense of having It hauled
away.
Councilman Maloney Intended Introducing
the ordinance Monday night, but wss un
able,to be present at tha council meeting.
He will present It at the regular session
next Monday night. ..
Work on Indian creek ha been tempo-:
rarlly suspended owing to high water, fol
lowing th receht heavy ralna. Councilman
Maloney, In charge of this work, stated
yesterday that the flood Monday night
Instesd of doing any damage to the work
already done on the creek assisted mate
rially In carrying away a larg quantity
of mud. t'p to date the work on the creek
ha been completed between Sixteenth, and
Fourteenth avenue and partially finished
to Fifth avenue. Of the 130,000 contributed
by the several railroad. $3,i74.M ha been
