ABOVE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE Plana Sabmltted and Approved for the JVew Central Fire Station Wick kia Stands by Propoaal to Erect Balldlng. But one complete bid for the construction of the proposed municipal water works plant wn recelvrd eterdsy. This was from E. A. Wickham of tale city, whose bid aggregated 1631.635. The Alphonse Cis todls Chimney Construction company of New Tork City submitted four bids for the construction of the ohlmney of the power plant, the figures ranging from $1950 to W,0. The bids were referred to the city engineer and the committee on water works for tabulation, without discussion. Mr. Wlckham's bid In detail la as follows: Power plsnt, or pumping station Bottling reservoirs Distribution system complete.... High service reservoir , .tim.sno . 93.785 . 897.50 . 21.760 Total ISU.S3B City Engineer Etnyre's estimate was aa follows: Pumping station' $111'.M0 Settling basins 9.750 retribution system , 35S.7B7 High pressure reservoir 24,130 Relaying pavement 21,766 Real estate 8.000 Financing 30.000 plans and the program which Is now sub mitted to the public. The executive com mittee, W. F. Parrott, O. E. IJehty, Fred Langley. F. J. Elghmey, B. B. Red. TV. M. Law, C. YV. Mullen, C. D. Kern, O. A. Feeley, J. E. Wllllama, B. F. Bwlsher. Other commltteea are "equally strong. Eleven hotels have been secured and ac commodations are ample for all who are expected to be present. The auditorium will seat t,000 people. Total ' $643,902 Bid Above Estimate. It will be seen that Mr. Wlckham's bid Is considerably higher than the city en gineer's estimate. To Mr. Wlckham's fig ures must be added the $8,000 for real estate and the $30,009 for financing and they would bring his total to $669,535. While Mr. Etnyre estimated W.000 for real estate, the general opinion Is that the ground tor a , pumping atatlon, settling basins and high pressure reservoir could not be bought for anything like $8,000. The probable cost of the necessary real estate la placed aa high as $30,000. The presence of several supposed con tractors and representatives of contracting firms In the city led the city officials to expect several bids. It turned out, how ever, that the supposed contractors were merely representatives of supply firms and that they were here to' furnish figures to Mr. Wickham. , City Treasurer True In his report on the city finances relative to the Issuance of bonds for the construction of a water works plant submitted to the council in the early part of 1a at month said: If the law Is such that we can Incur an Indebtedness equal to 6 per cent of the actual value or our laxaoie property ior the purpose of building a water works, I would state thst trw value of our taxable property Is J16.R61.2W. and 6 per cent of thla amount would be S42,66S. Deducing from this amount the present net debt of JlfiO.OOO. It would leave a bal ance of $692,663 that would be available to apply upon the purchase or building of a water works system so far as a bond Issue Is concerned. In addition to this we .have in the "water' works sinking fund $14,903; this added to the $592.66$ would make a total of $'V)7.". available from both aotircea at thla date. We have levied and under collection funds that will 'educe our bonded Indebted ness this yesr approximately 120,000. also a lew thst will give us an additional sum of $7,600 In pur water works sinking fund, which one year from now would, with the amount available at this date, give us $634,908. Itock rile for Vagrants. Major George II. Richmond, chief of police, announced yesterday that he had decided to put the municipal rock pile In commission again. It being about the best known panacea for the tramp evil. With the advent of summer the hoboes and tramps of every class are on the move and Council Bluffs has always been a favorite resting r)ace for these most un desirable nomads. The railroad yards swarm with them arid they form regular camps along the railroad tracks In the north part of the city. The city has plenty of rock on hand as well aa the necessary hammers for break ing It up. - Further supplies of rock and hammers will be procured If needed. "The presence of these men Is a menace to the community," said Major Richmond. ''They have no work and would not work If given employment. They must eat to live and .most of them live merely to eat. To secure food they must either beg or steal and they do both. I have determined to take stringent measures to rid Council Bluffs as far aa practicable of this clsss of men. The officers will make regular roundups of the railroad yards and other plaoea where the hoboes and tramps con gregate and they will be given regular em ployment on the rock pile. As soon as It becomes generally know that the rock pile awalta them In Council Bluffs, the tramps. I believe will give this city a aide berth or at least will not make It a 'stop over place." The city council last night authorised Ma lor Richmond to employ three additional po. llcemen for a stated period. These special officers will be assigned to the task of rounding up the tramps.

CUMMINS PLAYS BIG CARD He e ting at Dei Moines Intended to Offset the Dolliver Bally. OUT FOE PROUTY AGAINST HULL Taxation Reform Leaarno Plaaaras; for aa Active Campalsrn as Boon as tho Primaries Are Oat tho War. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 19. (Special Tele gram.) The widely advertised Cummins' meeting and probably the last big meeting for either side to be held In Des Moines this campaign, was held tonight In the auditorium, which was well filled. D. C. Chase of Webster City, Attorney General- Byers of Harlan, Judge Prouty and Gov ernor Cummins of Des Moines were the speakers. Judge Prouty, who Is a candi date for congress against Captain Hull, paid some special attention to Senator Dolli ver and the railroad rate question, and at tempted to prove that-every year the Inter state Commerce commission In Us report asked for legislation for ten years got none because, ho alleged, Dolliver was asleep on the question. He pointed out that though In every congressional campaign It Is claimed that a new congressman cannot get appropriations for his district, yet the con gress now In session has given Dan Hamil ton, a democrat and congressman from the Sixth district, a larger appropriation for that district than for any other district In lows. In the campaigns that have passed Gov ernor Cummins has been friendly to but has never taken the stump for Prouty. To night for tha first time, and that In opening his remarks, be advocated Frouty's election. His speech was devoted mainly to the legis lation enacted sines he has been governor and declared that he had not said and would not say a word during the campaign against the character of Allison. Reform In Taxation. Iowa will go deep into the question of taxation as soon as the primary election Is over with and between that and the convening of the legislature next January the Iowa Tax Revision association will have speakers visit each of the principal cities of the state and discuss the subject of a revision of the taxation and assessment laws. The association is now arranging these dates and Is In communication with the business men of Des Moines In the hope of arranging soon to have a speaker visit this city. The business men of Des Moines have al ready become Interested In the matter them selves and have made arrangements to have the expert who engineered the revision of tho assessment lawa of Ohio so as to put Cleveland on an Ideal basis so far as taxes were concerned, come to this city and de liver an address upon the subject some time In about three months. There Is already a strong sentiment In Des Moines and slsewhere In the state, especially. In the larger cities, to have the laws revised so that there will be no tax ation of monies and credits and mortgages. When the legislature met In 1907 there was an effort made by the business men ' of Sioux City, through their representatives In the legislature, to get this change made and w'nen they failed an attempt was made to get the appointment of a tax revision commission. This failed also and members of the legislature with some city officials formed "Iowa Tax Revision Association," with tho avowed purpose of securing from the legislature a revision commission and ultimate revision of the laws. Political campaigns have been occupying the public mind, but following the primary election en June S an effort will be made to have speakers address the commercial clubs of the various cities and other organisations with the view to agitating for sentiment In favor of revision.

May 19.-(Speclal.)-Ae a re suit of the heavy ralnatorm, which passed over Ames Friday afternoon, the May day featlval, which had been so long in th making and which had been looked forward to with so much expectation by the stu dents, waa cut short before It was scarcely begun. However, a few of the numbers were given before the rain came 'and were witnessed by a great crowd of spectators seated about the beautiful campus. Miss Lillian Storms was tho May queen, and as ahe lasued forth from Margaret hall and came acroas the campus under the richly made canopy which as upheld by her beautiful attendants, accompanied by scores of pretty May maldgns dressed.

We Pay $2.50 For the Beans Now Used in Van Camp's We told you we paid $2.10 per bushel for beans, but the price has advanced. You are eating so many of Van Camp's that the finest beans We now must pay $2.50 for the grade which we demand. are scarce. The tremendous demand for Van Camp's beans has had its effect on the bean market. Some beans still sell for 30 cents per bushel. But such beans as we use are getting so scarce that we now pay $2.50 per bushel. That means, in the first place, Michigan beans, grown on a soil extremely rich in nitrogen. Then those choice beans are picked orer by hand, so we get only the whitest, the plumpest, the fullest-grown. Such beans now cost us eight times what some beans cost. Yet our prices are not advanced to you. Our tomato sauce, too, costs us five times as much as other sauce would cost ready-made. But the cheap sauce is made from tomatoes picked green, and ripened in shipment. Or of scraps from a canning factory. Ours is made sorely from whole tomatoes, ripened on the vines. Picked when the Juice fairly sparkles. That superlative test, which adds so ranch to oar beans, is due to this natural flavor. These are times to be careful. Poor beans are so cheap, and good beans are so costly, that there is every inducement for pushing the poor ones. Salesmen are paid high commissions for this purpose. Grocers are offered special inducements. . Some charge our prkes for inferior brands. Some charge a little less, yet make a larger profit. For this is the condition: Beans can be had for one-eighth what we pay, and tomato sauce for one-fifth. So you may, to protect yourself, need, to Insist on Vaa Camp's. POEsKS: We have shown you how good baked beans can be. But remember their food value, too. They are 84 per cent nutriment as nutritious as meat Yet cheap and delicious, and ready-prepared. Why not serve them often? Van Camp's have attained this enormous demand, beoauM people have learned their goodness. You were accustomed, to home-baked beans. They were hard to digest, so you served them but once a week. You baked them in ovens not half hot enough. The particles were not separated so the digestive juices could get to them. So the beans fermented, instead of digesting. And the fer mentation formed gas. You have now learned the difference. ' Van Camp's are digestibie because we heat our ovens to 245 degrees. nnnsnnnwannsnj awaa M Your home-baked beans were mushy and broken. Crisped on the top and half baked in the middle. That was because you baked in dry heat. You have learned that Van Camp's are nutty, mealy and whole. ' And that is the way you like them. You added tomato sauce as a dressing. We bake it into the beans, and get that delicious blend. Don't treat Vaa Camp's Hke home-baked beans. They are hearty, yet most digestible. They are appetizing, delicious, and all people like them. They should be a daily dish, not an occasional. Beans are Nature's choicest food. More nutritious than meat or eggs, or cheese. Yet see how many you get for ten cents. The same food value in any other form costs more. - So the more you serve the more you save. . Then Bote the saving in labor the hottest of hot-weather labor. Every can in the pantry means a meal all cooked. You will find that your people don't tire of Van Camp's.

Returning borne by way of Grand Island, the Hastings man and his wife stopped for the night st the latter place. The groom went out on a business errand and when he returned the bride was gone and could not be found, although several suspects were searched. It Is clearly up to Grand Island to clear her aklrts. Good natured rivalry la admissible always, but It should not become necessary for a Hastings man to lock up his wife, nail down the transom and carry the key In his pocket In order to Insure her safety. Grand Island, Individ ually and collectively, should have has tened to establish an alibi. Kearney Hub. Common Complaint The "Neighborhood" dance at A. W.

This message received by D., Clem Deaver, head of the Burlington Iandseekers' Information bureau, from H. M. Savage, supervising engineer of the government 'work, marks a new era In the Irrigation work In the west. 'Heretofore the govern ment men have maintained a degree of secrecy concerning the work, and for over a year Mr. Deaver has been working with the government to get it to assign a man to show prospective buyers over the field. Canada has been able to advertise that government agents would show the land and ell the truth concerning It. Now the state of Wyoming can advertise the same thing. Mr. Deaver left Tuesday for the Big Horn Basin country with a party of forty-flvs prospective settlers who go to look over the newly Irrigated sections. "O'Neill haa a new Industry which is keeping quit, a number of men busy," said Mr. Deaver, who returned Monday from O'Neill.

SHARK BALKS AT COURT DOOR Money Loaner Pursues Victim from California, but Eschews Trial. STOPS WEEN FIGHT IS SHOWN Falling; to Get His Man He Tackles His Employer, Who Welcomes Test and Finish Comes Abraptly. Following his victim half way across the continent with an alleged assignment of wages, F. A. Newton, chattel loan man of Oakland, Cal., has se cured a default Judgment In district court against John R. Holley, formerly an engineer for the Bemis-Omaha Bag com pany, and Holly, In an attempt ' to get away from the exactions of the money loaner, has left Omaha. The Judgment gainst him was secured without any de fense on his part. The Bemis-Omaha Bag company was originally a party to the suit, but as it showed fight the esse againat It was dropped and Judgment taken against Holly. Holly until recently worked on a through dining car between here and San Francisco. Becoming hard pressed for cash, he bor rowed, according to his story, $13 from Newton, signing a number of blank salary assignments as security. He says he sfter- Ward paid back $4. Then he came to Omaha and went to work for the Bemis-Omaha Bag company. Not long ago the company received a salary assignment which had been signed by Holly In blank, the name of tbe firm having been filled In later. Ac companying It was a letter demanding $48. No attention was paid to the salary assign ment, and, through T. W. Blackburn, his attorney, Newton began suit In Justice Cockrell's court. Judgment was rendered In favor of Newton there and the case was carried to the district court, where it was dismissed as to the Bemis com. pany. In the meantime. Holly' had thrown npT his Job and left the city. He was not pres ent In court to defend against the action and Judgment was rendered by default. The Bemis company threatened to make It a teat case and thla was tha reaaon the case sgainst It was dropped. Mr. Blackburn says he dropped the case against the Bemls company because he did not cere to make a test case out of It for a client who has no business Inter ests here. He disputes Holly's claim as to the amount involved and says Holly originally borrowed S24. He also says Cali fornia has no usury law and the account ' was a valid one there.
