' Adverse 1 City In Case
abmltted Hla.
While the four members of the city
council sDecial ronimlttee on water works
were reticent Friday night as to what
J transpired at the& meeting, it leaked out
yesterday that the committee practically
j decided to recommend to the city council
!that the proposition submitted by the water
works company be rejected In toto and
that steps be taken as soon as possible
looking towards the construction Of a
new water worka system by the city.
It is said that the committee was unani
mous in reaching this decision, although
the chairman. Councilman Wallace, a day
before the meeting stated he was flatly
opposed to the city constructing a new
water plant.
Although attorneys for the water works
have no advice to the effect. It Is said
that the members of the special committee
have received inside information that the
decision of Judge Smith Mcpherson In the
water works Injunction suit will be handed
down Monday. One member of the special
'committee, It is said, has been advised
that the decision will be adverse to the
city and will hold that the company's fran
chise is operative until January-, 190.
Attorney Wright, counsel for the water
works company, when asked as to this
yesterday, said: "Well, as far aa I am
concerned this la all news to me. 1 have
not been advised, neither have I received
any inside information to the effect that
Judge McPherson Is expected to hand down
his decision Monday. Of course, I shall
be glad to have hi in do so and doubly so
If the decision Is In our favor."
The special committee Is expected to make
a report at the meeting of the city council
tomorrow night.

issued the following appeal:
Time for action has come. An opportunity
to secure the best man In the field today for
conducting the Young Men's Christian as
sociation campaign In Council Bluffs has
also come. It Is a long looked for oppor
tunity and one which the Young Men's
Christian association boosting conim'ttee
hardly dared hope for.
But In order to grasp this opportunity
Council Bluffs has a condition to meet.
That condition Is this, via: One or two
subscriptions to' the amount of 310.000 must
be made In order that the campaign might,
be given the proper Impetus. With a sub
scription of this else to start out with
the aervleee of the best man In the flel.t
conducting such a campaign can be se
cured and the success will be ours without
a doubt. Are there not two or three men
In the community who will come forward
and give the starter which will mean that
Council Bluffs and her young men will.
without a doubt, secure an Institution
which will mean more to their welfare
than any one other Institution that can
be had.
At an Interesting meeting of the general
committee held yesterday afternoon, a com
mittee of five was appointed to secure ine
required subscription, which will guarantee
to Council Bluffs one of the finest Young
Men's Christian association buildings in
the middle -west. It Is hoped that when
men of means in Council Bluffs are ap
pealed to they will give the matter in
question favorable consideration and boost
the cause
This Is an opportunity of a lifetime and
one which may not soon come our way
again. Therefore, we cannot afford to see
it go by. Will not Council Bluffs arise to
the occaalon snd do herself proud?
Communication over the long distance
telephone was had with Harry Curtis,
former secretary of the defunct Young
Men's Christian association of this city,
and now holding a similar position at
Dubuque, and he promised the general com
mittee to be In Council Bluffs Monday and
Tuesday to assist the special committee of
five In raising the Initial fund of 110,000.

One of the best known member of the
British Parliament built himself a mansion
In a remote part of Hampshire on the con
fines of the New Forest.
He noticed during the progress of the
work that a contractor's clerk csme back
from the railway station bringing with
him a walking stick bearing a label ad
dressed to his employer. This always
happened on a Friday afternoon and, ha
became curious to know the reason.
When he asked for an explanation of
the mystery the contractor touched a
spring In the handle, screwed oft a head
piece and turning the stick upside down,
rolled out on the table a heap of sovereign.

could not be used in time for weekly pay.
Accordingly the contractor had tha stick
made, the Interior of which was hollowed
out In order to take the sovereign. Tha
precious freight amounted to 100 and wa
dispatched every week a an ordinary pa"-
cel. During the whole time It never mis
carried. .
Possibly a more remarkable saving batik
was found during an Inquest held In Lon

deceased had a wooden leg. within which
were a. number of sovereigns wrapped In

A short time ago an old miser died at
Brescia. She lately revealed a singular
hoarding place for treasure. She had al
ways lived as one In deep poverty and had
carefully excluded all neighbors from her
apartment.
When she was taken III and felt the ap
proach of death she sent for a notary, to
whom she confided the hiding place of her
money.
She had lived In constant dread of rob
bery or loss and so for years had pre
served the whole of her money Jn a hol

A sum of over a quarter of a million
pounds has been -thrown Into tha ash pit
by the government. This extraordinary
exhibition of waate of publio money was
found out some little time ago. It was
discovered that scrap brsss had been used
for road making.
Originally the ashes from th bras
foundry and rolling mlllc of the Royal
laboratory and other factories were re
garded as so much waste material. As a
matter of fact they were given to the su
perintendent for the purpose of making
roads and pathways.
This went on for a number of years,
when a wideawake contractor got to know
of It. He generously offered to remove th
ashes from the Are holes and to give th
government the sum of 3s 4d a ton' for them
Into the bargain.
After this arrangement had been going
on for some time It was discovered that
the contractor was selling ths refuse at
a ton. Then th ordnance official
took the matter Into their own hand and
Issued proper tender form for them:
Then the Arm which had been used (a

while eventually as much as 7 7 d per
ton wa offered fur the waste ashes. This
means a revenue of 10,0u0 a year, which
hitherto had been thrown into the ash pit.
