The city c ouncil last n:g'.it nave the water j workB company two weeks" time In which I to deckle to accept nr r J'-ct an offer from i the city to purchase Us plant for the sum of ttoO.ftm. At least that Is in subslanc? ( th amount of the offer made for the plant ! by the wa.er works committee, of which j Councilman Jensen Is chairman. i Tha comr.i.ti. . assisted by City Engineer Ktnyre, n.ichcd the conclusion that the value of the preaent water works plant was about iU.Oon, but not desiring to be conslrtend close, decided to make an offer of ja:Am. The two weeks' time was given on motion of councilman Vounkerman, the committee having In Its report suggested that the compar.y be allowed a reasonable timo "In which to accept or reject its proposition for purchase." WlcUunm OUJerta. E. A. Wkkhum objected to having his contract for the construction of a new plant hung up" any longer. He told the council that he did not feel that U was treating him fairly. A contract calling for the expenditure of S''.0,00i wan too Mg a thing, he Mild, to bo huns up for fifty days or more. He also objected to the council using the figure contained In his bid, which were secret until 'he bid was opened, to "dicker" with the water works company. Ho said It had cost him 11,000 of his hnrd earned money to pre pare the bid. Councilman Morgan wanted Manager Hart of the water works company to state whether there was any probability of hit) company accepting tho offer of the committee. While Mr. Hart 'lid not make any dlrtct answer to thin, he In formed the council the question of ac cepting an offer of J35O.000 for a plant on which there was a flfst mortgage of 1600,000 was for the bondholders to de cide and not the officers of the company. He had forwarded, he said, the proposition of the co.nniUtue to the officers of the company without any recommendation. Contractor Wlckham supplemented his earlier lemirks with a statement to the effect t hat be was perfectly willing, if the city would make a fair contract with the water works company, not to be con sidered at 'all, but he still objected to having his contract hung up any longer. Attorney W. l. Klllpack and YV. B. Reed, a committee frH.m the Bouid of Education, appcar.-d before the council with the re quest that low lying lota In the Immediate vicinity of the- North Eighth street and Third street school houses, which were full of stagnant water and a menace to the health of children attending these schools, be filled. The matter was referred to the committee of the whcle. Afraid of Unlit Towfn, Readouts, In the vicinity of Twenty-third rtreet and Avenue C filed a petition re questing that the electric light tower at tnnt Intersection' be taken down and the lights distributed. The recent windstorms alarmed the petltkmers and they are fear ful that during some similar storm the tower will be blown down and possibly on the nearby residences. The petition ' was referred to the committee on fire and light, and the councilman from the Sixth ward The First Christian church which Is plan ning to erect a new house of worship at the corner of Mynster and Scott streets, asked ' that It he permitted to use a strip three feet wide otf the sidewalk on Scott street ; for the building and eight feet on Mynster ' street for the steps to the front entrance The petition was sent to the committee of the whole. The ordinance giving J. O. Wadswortli and E. H. Doollttlc, trustees, the right to use the apace under the sidewalk In front of the hulldlr.g at the corner of Broadway and Main street, now being remodeled for a bank by C. R. Hannan, Jr., and asso- elates, was parsed. When the ordinance was first Introduced, It was held up at the request of E. A. Wlckham. who has a suit in the district court pending against ths owners of the property claiming to have a half Interest In It. Mr Wlckham made no objection to the passage of the meaauro last night. Relative to the matter cf opening Twenty fourth street from Broadway to First ave nue, the city sollcllor submitted a form of contract to be entered Into between the city and the owners of the property needed for ti e thorcughfare. The strip needed will coat $1,l0f and the owners agree to accept payment In five annual Installments to he paid out of the city poll tax fund It being understood that the Council Rluffs aerie of Eagles will advance the money at 6 per cent Interest. 8 A.

Arthur Is credited with huvlng a. majority of the delegates from Pottawattamie county. The alleged capture of the Potta wattamie delegation by the Hurnson county candidate is said to have stirred up the wrath of the eastern counties, end there was considerable talk of the latter combining to defeat the Harrison county man at any cost In the event of Cook, the Mills) county candidate, retiring from the contest, which It Is said he will likely do in the event of his being unable to make ll early In1 the ballottlng. the vote cf thi3 county, it Is claimed, wil go to Beeson of Montgomery.

Dan Maher was shot and woumb-d by Patrolman O. P. Peterson last night while attempting to escape from the officer, who had placed him under arrest. Mahcr. who was wounded In the right thigh, was re moved to the Mercy hospital. His wound will not. It Is believed, result seriously. Maher Is said . to have created a dis turbance on South Main street Sunday night, but made his escspe before an officer could reach there. He Is alleged to have repeeted the performance last night and was placed under arrest by Patrolman Peterson. While waiting for the patrol wagon Maher suddenly started to run from the officer, who called to him to halt. Maher kept on running and the officer fired a couple of shots In the air.

DES MOINES. June 30. (Special.) Gov ernor John A. Johnson's name will be pre sented at the Denver convention for presi dent, but will not be presented for vice president. Authority for this statenunt Is Governor Johnson himself, who Is In Des Moines today, and who spoke at Chautau qua park this afternoon. "I do not care to go Into the details of n dlst usslon of the political situation at this time," said Governor Johnson In an Interview at the Chamberlain. "I will say that the chances for a democratic victory this fall were never exceeded or else I do not read the temper of the people cor rectly. My name will be presented at the Denver convention for president, but not for vice president, and for that reason I do not care to discuss the political situa tion at this time." When asked as to what Mississippi valley states were liable to go democratic next fall, the governor said: "There are a number of them, Kansas, "Nebraska still I do not enre to go Into that. I am confident I could tarry Min nesota solid." Governor Johnson leaves tomorrow morn ing for other Iowa cities, where he has ihautauqua lecture engagements. He re fused to say anything about Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan of this city for vice piesldent, pleading that he was not personally ac quainted with Mr. Sullivan. Many democrats attended the Chautau qua tonight to hear Governor Johnson speak end a large number called upon him at the Chamberlain hotel during the afternoon. W ill the Governor Resign f Talk of Governor Cummins resigning Is not received with much enthusiasm by the public In Des Moines and It Is not believed there that the rumor has any foundation. There has been lntlmatlona that the republi can national committee expects to ask Gov ernor Cummins for a considerable part of his time on the stump during the coming campaign, and he will be of much greater service as governor than as a private citi zen. Furthermore, If he retires to the law practice, as It Is claimed he would, ho will have no time for the rational campaign. Polk County Finished. The supervisors of Polk county today de cided not to throw out the votes of Bloom field township and this ends the canvass of the votes here so far as congressman is concerned. It leaves Hull with a nominal majority of forty-one In the district and this will be his majority unless Prouty Is successful In getting a recount of the votes In Dallas county, where he claims to have fifty-five more than the face of the returns show. The petition of Prouty to have Bloomfleld's vote thrown out was based upon the claim that the polls were kept open nearly an hour after the legal time for closing them. Aid Asked for McGreaor. Governor Cummins today Issued a procla mation calling the attention of the people of Iowa to the worthiness of aid asked by citizens of northeast Iowa for the flood and storm sufferers. The proclamation is in answer to a strong petition forwarded to the governor yesterday from the citizens of McGregor and vicinity. The town was last week visited by a heavy storm which wrecked buildings, destroyed property and killed citizens, and now the town is facing danger of disease and pestilence because of the unsanitary condition in which It is left after its disaster. Contributlonb are to be sent to W. R. Klnnalrd of the First National bank, Mc Gregor. Boy'a Trial Tnesriny. The trial of Kenneth Reeves, the boy of 9 years, for killing Cecil Jenkins, whom he hit over the head with a mopstick, will be held In Juvenile court Tuesday. It Is believed that the court will acquit the boy with a reprimand. The ooy In many ways Is not to be blamed. It U claimed that It can be shown In his be half that the other boys were bullying him. Reeves was a new hoy In the com munity and had put up with a great many Indignities at the hands of the other boys. When Cecil Jenkins struck him In the face and walked away. It was more than i Reeves could stand, and it Is claimed more, than any self-respecting boy would stand, and boy-like he caught up a club and hit back.

Judge which you like best you know your taste. All the world would use Van Camp's if all the world did that. You can get a small can of Van Camp's for ten cents. And that one can will tell you more than our ads can tell. Ferhaps you are baking your beans at home. That can trill tell you what a mistake you are making. Perhaps you are using other brands. That can will tell you the remarkable difference. "Won't you spend ten cents to know, for all time, the best beans that ever were baked? VThy do you suppose that millions now use Van Camp's! "NYe can scarcely find enough beans, of our grade, to supply them. They once baked beans at home, perhaps. They onco used other brands. Why are they coming, by millions, to swell the enormous demand for Van Camp's! A single can will tell you. There are myriads of brands of beans. Some of them cost the grocer only half as much as Van Camp's. Somo makers give to grocers one case free in five. Yet with all these factors against us Van Camp's have won by far the largest sale in the world. Don't you want to know the beans that have done that! Rome think of beans as a homely dish a simple dish a dish that even' housewife knows. Please let us change that idea. Home-baked beans are nothing like Van Camp's. FOR Ilome-baked beans are nrosby and broken. They are crisped on the top and half-done in the middle. They fer ment and form gas because they are not digestible. That is because you bake in dry heat in too little heat. You can't bake in live steam, as we do. Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees. That fierce heat separates the particles so the digestive juices can get to them. Yet the beans are baked baked until they are moaly without a skin being broken. They are nutty; becauGe they are whole. Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together, and get our delicious bleed. The result is a dish in every way different from the old-fashioned, home-baked beans. And Van Camp's are just as different from other brands of beans that are ready-baked. One reason is, we have spent 47 years in learning how to make this perfect dish. Then we use Michigan beans, picked out by hand from the choicest part of the crop. They are costing ua now nine times as much as eome other beans would cost. We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce as other sauce would cost us ready-made. But you will see the reason why we pay tho prico if you compare other beans with .Van .Camp's. HAKZD SASKZ A delicious summer dish ready to serve. No fire is needed no work what ever if you serve it cold. Our chef does the cooking while you sit in the I breeze. Think what that means in hot weather. ' No other food is so nutritious as beans. They are 84 ro nutriment. Meat, though it costs several times as much, has a les ser food value. Beans are appetizing and hearty; all people like them. They should be a daily dish, not an occasional. "You v71 eat more of them when you serve Van Camp's. You will find them digestible. They will not ferment and form gas. You will have a new idea of how good beans can be. They will be as staple as bread. And people don't tire of Van Camp's. If we are right, these facts mean a great 3eal to you. They mean a large saving on meat bills. They mean better food for less money. They mean a new dish on your menu the daintiest dish you have. They mean that one meal a day can be served this sum mer without the labor of cooking. Our chef does tha cooking while you sit in the breeze. For all of these reasons, please order on can. Ba sure that you get Van Camp's. Then let that can decide, for all time, what beans you will eat, and how many. Please order now before you forget it. Then, if the beans are as good as we say, order a dozen cans. Keep a dozen meals on hand.
