BLUFFS
CONCRETE TOO EXPENSIVE
New Sitt for Engine Home Cheaper
than Protecting the Old.
MONEY READY TO BUILD HOUSE
Meeting of Coancil Tenlght Essteeted
to Kettle the Question of Who '
Will Be the ew Depty
' City Clerk. '
"I do not believe the city council would
authorise the expenditure of between 18.000
and $12,000 to conatruct concrete retaining
walls In -Indian creek In order to build a
new engine house, when'a site for the pro
posed new building can be securd for a
little over 13,000 at Washington avenue and
Bryant rtreet, as I am informed." said a
member of the city council yesterday.
The site refer! ed to Is the old City Mill
property, which, It Is said, can be-bought
for about $3,000." City Engineer Etnyre esti
mated that the cost of the concrete retain
ing walls In Indian creek would be about
$S,0On, but It la understood that thla esti
mate did not include the cost of the neces
sary piling.
While It la generally conceded th,t a new
central fire station la urgently needed, pub
lic opinion appears to be against- erecting
the proposed new building on the site of the
present structure on account of the great
expenae Involved In bridging the creek. The
matter of the proposed new engine house
Is expected to come up at the meeting. of
the city council tonight.
E. A. Wickham stated yesterday that he
would stand by his offer to furnish the
city the money, for the erection" of the new
engine house, but if anybody else was
ar.ixioua.Jo provide the funds, he Was will
ing to-turn It over to them. Hon. William
Oroneweg, the new member of the Fire and
Police commission, haa tendered as.000 for
thia purpose, and another citizen' who does
not wish his name to be made public has
tenlered $6,000. The city officials have no
fear but that they will be able to get all
the money needed for the new engine house
as soon as It Is decided where it shall be
erected. '
Some Decision as to the appointment of a
deputy city clerk is looked for at the meet
ing tonight. Clerk Casady was anxious to
retain 11. A. Waddlngton, the deputy under
W. J.8app. Mr. Waddlngton, being a re
publican of he rank and file, the demo
cratic party raised a protest. ''To- the vic
tor belongeth the spoils," they cried, and
they have carried the day. Mr. .Waddlng
ton is booked for retirement In the near
future, but- who will get the position haa
mot been determined. Friends of Myers
Hansen, the democratic candidate for clerk
of the district court, are urging his appoint
ment, while Alfred Mortenson, a relative of
Councilman Skodsholm, Is also after the
Job. '

DES MOINKS. May t -tSpeclaD-On the
around that the suprerne court of Iowa has
not made the proper distinction between
"implied contract" and "express contract,"
Margaret- Pegu has filed; with the court a
petition for a rehearing; in the suit she
Instituted to scaure 'part.'of the big; estate
of Ellas W.. Pogg nt Harrison county, on

who was Margarnt Atdifr before the alleged
marriage to Ellas Pegg, claim that the
court has confused- lw law terms and
failed to properly apply the law. The two
had lived In the same house for some time
with Mrs. Asher employed In the capacity
of housekeeper... Irate neighbors had
caused their arrest mid to avoid further
arrests they had gone -to the office of
their lawyer and there,' a contract of mar

the woman still went by the name of
Margaret Asher and even srgned her name
In that way to the telegram to his rela

The supreme court helij that, the contract
did not conatitute marriage and that to
have mado the contract complete It would
bo necessary for them to change their re
lations toward each other. Attorneys for
Mrs. Asher-Pcgg charge that the contract
made In the lawyer's office was "express"
and complete, but that the supreme court
haa treated It as an Implied contract, to
be completed oniy 'by further actions on
the part of the two principles. Attorneys
are watching the case with considerable

but, believes that much more of the fruit
escaped than people surmise because the
cold nights were followed by cloudy
weather which permitted the frof-t to come
out of tlie fruit and vegetables slowly.
"That is one of the secrets of cold stor
age," said Mr. Greene today, "and cold
storage men have been slow to become ao
qualntcd with the fact. Apples can be kept
In cold storage for almost any length of
lime t a temperature of 30 to 31 degrees
or Just below the freexlrg point and keep
nicely If the frost is allowed to go out ot
them very slowly. If a barrel of apples
kept in cold storage at such a tempera
ture is taken out and opened up and the
apples allowed to thaw out at once, fast
they will spoil soon after. If the tempera
ture is merely raised to a little above 32
and allowed to remain so for some days
and then the temperature raised gradually
above that before the apples are opened
they will be serviceable for som time.
"I have not had time to examine a great
deal of the fruit since the cold weither and
there Is no use In making any extensive ex
aminations till the cold weather Is passed.
But I did examine some blossoms snd
found that many were not Injured. Wheie
ever It was cloudy It Is possible for a con
siderable part of the fruit to get through.
Wherever the sun comes out warm before
the frost has had time to get out of the
blossoms thsy are killed. An onion can be
frozen solid and If the frost goes out of It
gradually It will not be Injured. If It goes
out of It fast the onion will be soft and
mushy at once."

terday. It was the day on which Fredericka was
to be wedded to Hans C. Hansen. Why,
then, was there weeping and sorrow? For
the simple reason that the couple had lost
their marriage license Saturday night. They
had gone to the theater and the licer.ee was
stowed away In a safe place in one of the
groom's pockejs. Sunday morning when
the groom had a sudden desire to look at
the paper which gave him permission to
marry the girl of his heart, he was thrown
into a fit of nervous prostration by dis
covering that the license had disappeared.
When Hansen communicated the Intelli
gence to Fredericka and when the awful
news had spread, the great preparations
that had been going forward stopped.
Everybody was appalled, paralysed. Some
wept and others swore. The wedding was
set for that evening. The guests were in

and music were arranged ar.d ajl the other

occasion. When, in addition to all this It
was remembered that the day was Sunday
and that no new marriage license could be
secured, then it was that everybody de
