OBJECTION TO FAUS PROPOSAL
Alt Are Referred to City Esglseer (or
Tabalatloa and Report to the
Council at m Fattrt
Meeting;.
At a special meeting of the city council
yesterday afternoon four propoaals wore
received for tha construction of the
foundations of the new addition to tha fire
department building or addition to tha pres
ent structure, which contemplatea a con
crete arch over Indian creek, the arch to
reach to the level of the present floor,
and for tha construction of cement
bridge at Bryant street.
The bidders were James Saguln, wtiose
bid on the plans submitted by tha city
engineer was for $11,900, or for $12,400 on
certain modifications of the engineer's
plans; E. A. Wlckham & Co., $10,9,4; C. C.
Norgaard. $11,275; W. D. Faua of Webster
City, $9,167.40. The Faus bid does not
Include any excavating or filling or dirt
work, for which he makes a bid of 40
cents per yard.
The question was raised among the
other bidders that the Faus bid was not
In accord with the specifications, nor was
it fair. The explanation was made that
the reason Faus did not make a specific,
bid on excavations and filling was that
the city engineer did not know exactly
how much of this work would be required
to be done. The other bidders held that
they had made a .flat bid on the entire
work, taking their chances on the greater
or less quantity of the dirt work to be
done.
Nothing was done in the matter. The
bids were referred to the city engineer
and the committee on bridges and city
property for tabulation, and the city at
torney was Instructed to prepare a con
tract in blank for tho work, the same to
be submitted to the council at Its next
meeting.
A committee from the Commercial club
met with the council relative to the1 city
building a retaining wall for the proposed
auditorium building to be erected on the
old mill tract, the same to be used as a
part of tho foundation for the building
along Indian creek. The matter was laid
over until the next meeting of the council.
Will Investigate Elephantiasis.
Much Interest Is being taken by the mem
bers of the Medical Society of the Mis
souri Valley at Ita meeting, which Is to
convene In this city today, In the case of
that rare and remarkable disease, "Ele
phantiasis," with which Mrs. E. M. Mai
lory of Council Bluffs Is afflicted. There
was but one other case of the kind known
to exist in the United Btatea, that being
with a Mrs. Anna E. Lynch In McKees
port, Pa., who died July 31 of the present
year.
Mrs.. Lynch had been afflicted with ele
phantlnsls for nineteen years. When first
attacked she was 48 -years old. ' She died at
the age of 64 years. Before the effects of
the disease were manifested she weighed
about 100 pounds. She was confined to
her homo for seventeen years, and for
twelvo years before her death could not
leave her bed.
At the time of her funeral It was stated
that the combined weight of the casket
and body was . nearly 1,200 pounds. The
casket weighed 360 pounds, and was thirty-
six Incites deep. The largest single grave
ever prepared received the body. It was
five and one-half feet wide and a fraction
over seven feet long. Eighteen pallbearers
were required, and no hearse of sufficient
size could be found. The disease affected
both lower limbs. The left leg measured
eighty-five inches, or more than seven
feot. In circumference. The right leg was
seventy-six Inches In circumference. The
greatest enlargement waa below the knees,
and the feet could barely be seen protrud
ing from the shapeless masses of swollen
flesh.
Mrs. Mallory'a case has not yet developed
into any abnormal conditions, nor Is she
wholly without hope that some relief may
yet be found for her. She has become
reconciled to the diagnosis of her case and
of Its Incurability. She Is yet able to get
about with the aid of a cane. She Is a
woman of refinement, high Christian char
acter and Is highly esteemed In this com
munity, and It is with the hope of throw
ing some light upon this peculiar disease
and Its possible beneficial treatment that
she has consented to an Investigation of It
by the medical society at its coming meet
ing. The Normal Instltatc.

SIOUX CITY. Ia., Sept. 3. Addressing a
monster democratic rally here last night,
William J. Bryan, democratic candidate for
the presidency, in the course of a speech
on the tariff, guarantee of bank deposits,
the labor and trusts questions and govern
mental reforms, denounced Coleman Du
pont of Delaware and Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania,, members of the republican
executive committee, as not being expected
to become reformers, because, as he
charged, of their affiliation with the trusts.

and trust questions.

where he received enthusiastic receptions
all along the line, Mr. Bryan arrived here
shortly before 8 o'clock tonight. From the
rear platform of the train at various points
In both states he shook hands with many
hundreds of persona and' made several
talks, but the chief of these was at Alton,
Ia, a junction point, where he discussed
at some length the tariff and the subject
of guaranty of bank, deposits. He again
charged Mr. Taft with not being satisfied
with the republican platform and with be
ing forced to continually amend It.
During a two-hour atay at St. Paul, be
tween trains, Mr. Bryan took breakfast In
an uptown cafe, which he reached after a
brisk walk. On the way back he observed
In a music store window an announcement
that the stock Included phonographic rec
ords of his speech on the guaranty of bank
deposits and of Mr. Taft on Injunctions In
labor disputes. He entered the place and
at his request both records were repro
duced. His own remarks were heard first,
and as the last words died away he smil
ingly remarked:
"I am convinced."
At the station here to meet the Ne
braakan were Mayor Sears, State Commit
teeman Beck, Former Mayor Quick, Judge
Van Wagenen and many other leading
democrats. No sooner did the crowd catch
a glimpse of him as he alighted from the
train than he waa lustily cheered by sev
eral thousand people, which continued aa
he rode along the streets to the hotel. He
will depart at S o'clock In the morning for
Lincoln, traveling to Omaha via the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the balance of
the way over the Burlington, reaching
home at 1030 o'clock.

PRIMARY LAW;: HELD BINDING
Sooth Dakota Dehsorrata Are Barred
from Completing; Their
'Ticket.
PIERRE, S. D.i 'Sept. S.-(Specia! Tele
gram.) The decision of the supreme court
thla afternoon in the mandamus suit
brought by certain democratic state con
vention nominees against the secretary of
state to compel him to place their names
on the regular democratic ticket. Is a se
vere blow to that organization. It leaves
them with a small portion of a ticket which
will go upon the ballot as democrat, and
the only way any of the others can get
upon the ballot will be as Independent
candidates.
The court disposes of the contentions of
the attorneys for the democratic candidates
aa to the constitutionality of the law and
their rights to act Independently of the
law In making party selections In a sum
mary manner, the holding being that so
long as the democrats participated In the
primary as an organized party, they then
nominated their ticket and could make no
changes In Its makeup other than those
prescribed by the primary law Itself. That
the legislative Intent was to provide a
mandatory method of making party nomin
ations and such a law 'was one properly
within their constitutional authority.
This leaves the democratic ticket: An
drew E. Lee, for governor; W. T. Lafol
lette, lieutenant governor; R. E. Dowdell
and A. Holsen, for congress. Their con
vention selections can only get on the bal
lot aa Independent candidates and In an
other column. By their effort to show
their contempt for the primary law by the
nomination of only a part of a ticket by
that method, they are worse off than If
they had Ignored It In Its entirety, for In
that case they could have grouped their
candidates all under one head.

HARD TIMES OVER IN EUROPE
Keen Bnslness Depression Observed
Abroad by Warren Swltsler,
Wko Jnst Ketorna.
Glad to get out of those countries where
hard tlmea and business depression has a
grip on Industrial conditions' and to re
turn to the land of peace and prosperity,
Mr. and Mrs. Warren Swltsler arrived
Wednesday morning from a three months'
trip through England. Scotland. France
and Swltaerland. They sailed from Liver
pool and landded In New York; laat Thurs
day. Miss Alice Swltsler, who made the
European trip with her parenta, stopped
at Indianapolis to visit with army friends
at Fort Benjamin Harrison. She will re
turn In about a week.
"There is a great period of depression in
England. France and eGrmany, especially
In Eqgland," said Mr. Swltsler. "London
is a perfect reflex of New York, but th
business depression there is much greater
than It ia In New York. There Is great
sympathy between America and all for
eign count rls, and It has come to pass that
'aa goes America, so goes the world,' and
when there la business deprcslon In Amer
ica there are hard times In other countries,
and the little panic we had last fall started
the hard times In Europe.
"In London the hard times are quite
manifest and countless shops on Regent
street, tho principal market street, are de
serted. Another reason for this depression
In England Is the falling off of the ship
ping In its merchant marine. England has
always claimed to have 70 per cent of the
merchant ships on the ocean, but between
January and July, this year. Its shipping
fell off nearly $260,000,000. The method of
conducting the railroads there hM also
had something to do with Its depression.
In England the stockholders vote the divi
dends and they thus appropriate all sur
plus earnings. When Improvements are
made they Issue new stock and It makee
It doubly hard to keep up earnings In times
of depression.
"England Is extremely jealous of Ger
many and talk Is current of borrowing
$100,000,000 to build more English ships and
double the German navy and the navies of
any othr country. Germany's prosperity
started after the Franco-Prussian war.
"Switzerland Is In the best condition of
any country we visited and there are no
beggars. The people are honest, thrifty.
Industrious and happy. The greatest pov
erty 'Is In Scotland, where much of the
country is unproductive and large slices
of the rest are held as game reserves by.
English lords. Whisky and brandy' drink
ing by . ilia . poorer plas.ies has had much
to do with ihere being so many beggars In
Scotland. I think. While In France and
Switzerland water Is practically unknown,
the people drink wine; but In Scotland they
drink whisky. The business depression In
Paris (and Paris Is France) is marked.
"One thing that struck me as queer In
Paris is the wholesale consumption of
horse meat, and I am told that 300 horses
are eaten there dally. Horse markets an
scpurated from other meat markets and
are visited mainly by the poorer people.
There are no surface street cara In eitherJ
Paris or London, but they each have sub
ways, which are little used. In London
they are over 100 feet under ground. You
can travel In a cab about as cheaply."
