WATER QUESTION UP AGAIN
Two Wetki Given Old Company to
Accept City Offer Hat Expired.
KO AHSWEB DECEIVED AS YET
Committee Likely to Rfrommtnd e
reptanre of the Wlrkham Bid at
tha Meetla of the (Itr
Coanrll Tonight.
The water works matter Is scheduled for
another round at the meeting of the city
council tonight. The two wwki given the
Council Bluffa City Water Worka company
In which to accept or reject the proposition
of tUe special commute, of which Council
man Jensen Is chairman, that It sell Its
plant to the city for $360,000. or aomethlng
less than half what the company considers
Its value, expires today, t'p to laM night.
It Is understood, the water works ompany
had not notrfled the committee whether It
Intended accepting tha offer or not. Chair
man Jensen said last evening: "We have
not had a word from the company yet. If
we do not get a reply by noon Monday the
committee will prepare a report and sub
mit It to the council Monday night. Aa
matters now stand, the committee will In all
probability recommend that the council take
Immediate action In approving the contract
with E. A. Wlckham for the construction of
a new plant."
Councilman Bellinger of the water works
committee said he thought the council
would probably take some action this even
ing. Mr. Bellinger Is of the opinion that It
would do no harm to await the report of
the special committee of business men now
Investigating the water works question be
fore proceeding further. "This Is a non
partisan committee and Its conclusions
ought to be free from bias or prejudice,"
said the councilman from the Sixth ward.
In connection with the water works con
troversy in this city, attention has been
called to an article In the current Issue of
the National Magaslne, by W. C.' Jenkins.
The article In queatlon Is one of a series by
Mr. Jenkins, under the general subject,
"Problems In Municipal Economics." In
the July article the writer tells of condi
tions In Omaha, Denver and Council Bluffs,
and devotes considerable attention to what
he terms "The Waterworks Controversy in
Council Bluffs."
After giving the history of the contro
versy, Mr. Jenkins, who states he spent
several days In this city personally Investi
gating the matter, has this to say regard
ing municipal ownership In Council Bluffs:
Municipal ownership may bea panacea
for corporation diseases where Its applica
tion la favorable, but neither of these con
ditions exist to any marked extent In Coun
cil Bluffs. The municipality is In no finan
cial condition to obligate Itself for the
purchase of the present plant or to build
a new one without seriously Impairing Its
credit. There are other and more impor
tant municipal requirements In Council
Bluffs at the present time than the muni
cipal acquisition of the water works.
In conclusion I do not hesitate to express
the belief that any student of public utility
matters who approaches the Council bluffs
water question with an open mind, dlsre-
lng municipal ownership, cannot fall to be
convinced that there Is only one practical
olution, vis., a new contract should be
made with the present company.

Near Now York.
NEW YORK, July lS.-Hlgh winds, a
punctured gas bag and an accident to the
steering machinery almost caused a fatal
accident to Charles K. Hamilton, aeronaut,
at Brighton Beach today. A hundred thou
sand persons. It Is estimated, watched the
dirigible balloon rise and maneuver until It
was carried nearly a mile off Manhattan
Beach. Hamilton's assistants tried to follow
It In a row boat, but the strong winds
left them far In the rear, and they were
horrified when they saw the airship de
scending. It was expected thut the aeronaut would
be drowned, but the light bamboo frame
floated on the water and the partly filled
gas bag acted as a sail. The wind was
swiftly carrying the machine and Its oper
ator out to tea when a steam yacht gave
chase and salvaged the airship. Hamilton
and the airship were hauled aboard and
landed at Sheepahead Bay.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. July 13. (Special.) When
the executive council met Saturday for the
purpose of listening to .the arguments of
the railroads on the matter of railroad
assessments they found that the railroads
are In pretty fair financial condition. V'hlle
there may bo some empty cars on the side
tracks, as some pro-railroad newspapers
have Indicated, the fact Is that the railroads
during the twelve months of 1007 took In
about as much money as they did In the
year and the reports of the railroads
for the year 1606 showed that they made
an unprecedented gain that year over all
preceding years.
The .reports of the railroads laid before
the executive council today are for ' the
business done In the year 1307. The busi
ness done In 1906 was at a high-water mark
and ordinarily la considered that where
the railroads manage tn a dull year, as 1907
was considered to be, to keep from falling
behind, they are doing pretty well.
Iowa Roads' Karnlnae.
Figures compiled by the secretary of the
executive council from the reports made by
the railroads showing the gross earrings
of the railroads of Iowa per mile by sys
tems for the two years of 1906 and 1907 are
as follows:

Union Terminal 63.429 01,66
Wabash 6,637 6,633
These are all the roads of Iowa, big and
little, that are assessed by the executive
council where reports have been made for
the two years so that a comparison can
be made. It will be noted thut the Great
Western, Rock Island, Minneapolis & St.
Louis, Newton & Northwestern and Wabas.i
did not make quite as great gross earnings
during 1907 aa they did in 1906. In nelthv
case, however, la ti.e falling off very grea
Valuation la Problem.
What the executive council will do th.t
year with the railroad assessment Is a prob
lem that can probably be solved only after
the hearings. The railroads report that
they have not made aa great profits as In
former years and some few figure out lossta
In spite of the slight Increases In the gross
earrings. The assessments of moat of tl.
railroads have been gradually coming up
from year if year for several years, It
having been the claim ot the executive
council that the roada were not assessed
high enough In comparison with farm lamia
and other property In the state.
For ten years the total taxes paid by the
railroads of Iowa to the state from the
years 1890 to 1900 was about Jl. 400,000. From
then on the amount paid has been as fol
lows: 1900. $1,424,134; 1901, $1,509,370; 1902, $1,
663,492; 1903. $1,623,496; 1904. $1,874,419; 1906, $2..
141.863; 1906. $2,089,361; 1907, $2,211,682.
One of the things that might Indicate a
considerable Increase In the railroad assess
ment this year. In spite ot the fact that
the railroads claim they are not making any
more money or as much as last year, Is
the fact as shown In the state auditors
office that this year the personal property
of the state has been assessed at $4,0u0,0uo
more than last year.
Exhibit at Stat Fair.
There will be an exhibit at the state fair
by the State Board of Control ot methods
with which to fight tuberculosis. All the
educational agencies of the entire state of
Iowa are being taken advantage of by the
State Board of Control In the campaign
against the white plague and this year for
the first time an effort will be made to
utilize the state fair. There1 are about 125,
000 people who annually attend the stto
fair and It Is believed that a tent on tie
grounds will be visited by a large number.
Furthermore, the lessons In sanitation
taught In the campaign against tuberculosis
are lessons which It Is of value for every
one to know, whether they have tubercu
losis or not.
The exhibit will give lessons in housing
conditions, how to take the outdoor treat
ment, and there Is a bare possibility that
there may be some lectures delivered.
Tha results of the campaign against
tuberculosis by the State Board of Control,
working through Mr. A. E. Kepford, are
given In a report by Mr. Kepford to tho
board covering the little over five months
he has been In their service. During that
time he has addressed an aggregate of
35,413 people, delivering 142 lectures and ad
dresses. Of the people addressed S0,2u0 have
been In popular audiences, 2,188 have been
teachers, 1.286 have been college and uni
versity students, 3,035 high school pupils and
6.706 grade pupils. In addition a large
amount of literature has been distributed.
City Organisations.
Out of the efforts local city organiza
tions have been effected at Dubuque, Clin
ton, Muscatine and Fort Madison, with
trained visiting nurses to see that all per
sons known to be afflicted with tuber
culosis live In sanitary conditions so aa
to combat the disease and prevent Its
spread. ,
One of the things that the board will
work upon Is "outcamps," as they are
called. These are pleasant locations In each
city where persons afflicted with tuber
culosis go each day and sit In the cool
shade, taking what is known as the rest
out-door treatment. The patients get In
every wsy the treatment that they would
get at a sanitarium using the outdoor
treatment, except that they return to their
homes each night, and ths camps are open
onlv during the summer months. Such
ramps have been opened In the eastern
cities and the expense Is small and the
benefit large.
Arrangements are being made by the
state university to do university extension
work on tuberculosis In harmony with the
state board.
Iowa'a Fruit Conditions.
According to a report to be published
this week by State Horticulturist Wesley
Oreene the condition of fruit In Iowa Is
slightly better thsn last year In July, but

ALIA TO BE HANGED THIS WEEK
Actual Date of Eireutlon la Known
Onlr to the Prlaon
Offlrlnls.
DENVER, July 13-Wlth the arrival of
today the death sentence Imposed upon
Giuseppe Alia, the priest murderer, began
to operate. Alia will be hanged In the state
penitentiary at Canyon City some time this
week, but the day and the hour Is known
only to prison officials, and perhaps has not
heen definitely decided upon by them. Tlie
custom, in Colorado long followed by ths
courts Is to deslnnate the week when con
victed murderers sentenced to death shall
expiate their crime, leaving It to the prison
officials who actually carry out the sen
tence to select tfie moment when the sen
tenee shall be carried Into effect. The law
requires that a certain number of witnesses
be present at the time and In previous
cases It has happened that a certain num
ber of newspaper men have ljeen named In
this capacity. In this way the public Is
made acquainted with the Hour selected for
the hanging, but until some such source of
Information develops the people generally
must continue Ignorant of details of the
plan decided up for any execution. This la
true of the Alia case and It would not be
surprising If the public received Its first
news of the actual arrangements for Alla's
hanging after it was all over and the prison
physician hud pronounced him dead.
That the death sentence under which Alia
now rests will be carried Into effect with
out Interruption from the pardoning power
of the stato Is practically certain. Gover
nor Buchtel has stated In emphatic lan
guage that he will not even reprieve him.
because he believes the sentence lmposd
was lawful and Just. In the absence of
Governor Buchtel from the state, execu
tive duties fall upon Lieutenant Governor
Harper and In the event of that contin
gency arising during- the week Alia will hava
no better chance of escaping the noose, for
the lieutenant governor Is known to be of
the same mind In this particular as Gover
nor Buchtel.
Realizing that the shocking nature of
his crime, the killing of Father Leo Heln
rlchs at the altar of St. Elizabeth s church
In this city, while the priest was adminis
tering the sacrament at early mass one
Sunday morning made Impossible the stir
ring of human sympathy in his behalf.
Alia awaits only the coming of the moment
when he shall be summoned to his death.
The greater portion of tho time he Ilea
upon his cot, his face buried In the covers,
occasionally mumbling a word or two not
Intended for any ears but his own. When
approached by any one he flies Into a rage,
even rtsentlng the presence of Jail officials,
or a week he had absolutely refused to
lit, although the choicest food was placed
before him. On Friday, last, the prison
physician becoming alarmed at his haggard
appearance administered milk by means of
a pump. This had the effect of changing
the prisoner's mind and since then he has
eaten unassisted.
Alia retains his fierce hatred of the
priesthood and everything connected with
the church. When visited In his cell re
cently by a Catholic priest, stationed In
Canyon City, he raved and stormed and
waa not quieted for some time after the
pr.est had withdrawn. Alia refused to con
verse with the priest and his attitude at
times appeared threatening.
PRESIDENT AND ROOT CONFER
enesnelan Matters Said to Hove
Been the Occasion of the
Meeting.
OYSTER BAY, July 13. President Roose
velt conferred this afternoon with Secre
tary of State Ellhu Root and Assistant
Acting Secretary Bacon at the president's
home at Sagamore Hill for almost four
hours. The exact nature of" their delibera
tions could not be learned. It Is presumed,
however, that state affairs of an Important
nature were the subject of the discussion.
It Is thought likely that the formost subject
was the situation at present existing be
tween the United States and Venezuela.
Acting Secretary Bacon was at his home
In Westbury, Long Island, and came to
Sagamore Hill In an automobile, arriving
shortly after 1 o'clock.
Mr. Bacon, who has been In charge of
affairs at Washington, brought with him
the latest Information of the State depart
ment. The president and the two secre
taries consulted until 2 o'clock, when all
sat down to dinner with the president's
family. After dinner the conference was
resumed and It lasted until 4:43, when Act
ing Secretary Bacon departed for his home
In Westbury.
Secretary Root and the president, ac
companied by two of the president's sons,
were seen later going toward the beach In
Cold Springs harbor, where the president
goes bathing. Some of the party carried
towels and It was supposed all were bound
for a cooling dip in the bay.
Secretary Lneb was not at the conference,
having gone to visit Representative Cocks.
The staff of the executive officer was on
duty all afternoon.
When seen, the president's secretary
said that the conference today was con
nected with affairs In tho Stute depart,
ment. He said that Secretary Root had
been Invited by the president to spend Sun
day with him. The secretary remained at
Sagamore Hill tonight as the president's
guest.
Ruling on Army Promotion!!.
WASHINGTON. July 12 A decision has
been rendered at the Wur department
which in effect holds that army officers
may be promoted subject to examination
in those rates where by reason of sickness
they aro not able to present themselves to
a board of exan-lnatlon. It is held that
this condition constitutes an exigency of
the service within the meaning of the act
of February 12, 1901. This will do much to
relieve the army of such blocks to advance
ment as have occurred because of sickness
of officers eligible for examination for
promotion.

out by the Industrial headquarters estab
lished by Mr. Taft's campaign managers
and printed todoy referring to Mr. Taft's
personal antl-lnjunctlon views, says:
"The Injunction, as It ha been used In
labor cases generally, has been repugnant
to our American sense of fairness. Judge
Taft stands on record with the unions as
opposed to It In Its present form, a position
that many others who had advised ngalnst
the Injunction havo not cared to talo,
which strongly emphasizes the difference
between talking about a matter and being
ready to do It.
He (Judge Taft) has stated repeatedly
that no Injunction should bo granted until
both parties to the case have been heard.
If this suggestion ever becomes law the
labor Injunction will be put out of business,
for the right to leave the service under
certain conditions has 'been established
firmly. The dl solution of each labor injunc
tion Issued against a strike on the wage
controversies directly between the employer
and the employe proved it."
Hitchcock Not Informed.
WASHINGTON. July 13-Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the republican na
tional committee, had his attention brought
this afternoon to tho publication In a Chi
cago newspaper of what was reported to
be an authorized statement Issued by the
industrial headquarters of Judge Taft's
views on the antl-lnjunctlon plank of the
platform. Mr. Hitchcock said that he had
never heard of this statement before and
that he certainly would have been advised
had any such statement been authorized by
Judge Taft.
He declined to make any comment on the
accuracy of the statement with regard to
Judge Taft's position In this Important mat
ter. It Is recalled by Judge Taft's friends
here that while secretary of war Mr. Taft
not Infrequently expressed himself with
great candor upon the subject of the proper
employment of the powerful legal agency
known as the Injunction In disputes be
tween, employers and employes. They point
out that the Judge In several public
speeches, notably In Boston, Indicated his
belief that the existing court practice
should be regulated so as to admit of the
trial of contempt cases before other Judges
than those Issuing the writ, and that In
other respects he was In favor of liberaliz
ing court practice In the Interest of labor,
never, however, going to the extent of
sanctioning the right of suspension of such
writs of Injunction without notice In cases
where such action .was necessary to pre
vent violence or destruction of tangible
property.

SORES AND ULCERS
Sores and Ulcers are indication of impure blood. They show that the circulation
ha become infected with germs and poisons, which are being constantly discharged
iuto the open place to irritate the delicate nerves, tissues and surrounding flesh and
keep the sure in a state of inflammation and disease. Whether thce impurities in the
blooa are the result of some debilitating sickness, an old taint from a former disease,
or whether it U hereditary bad blood, there is but one way to cure sores and ulcers, an 1
that ia to purify the blood. Washes, salves, lotions, etc, are often beneficial because of
their cleansing, antiseptic effects, but nothing applied to the surface can reach the blood,
where the real cause is, and therefore cannot cure, S. S. S. is the remedy for sores and
ulcers of every kind. It gets down to the very bottom of the trouble and removes
every trace of impurity or poison, and makes a lasting cure. S. S. S. changes the
quality of the circulation, so that instead of feeding the diseased parts with impurities,
it nourishes and heals the irritated, innamed flesh and causes the ulcer to fill in with
healthy tissue by supplying it with pure, rich blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and
any medical advice deal red sent free to all who write.
