WICRIIAM TO ACCEPT CHECK Writes Letter to Council Stating- Hit Position in the Matter. THINKS HE IS UNFAIRLY TREATED Engineer Bryan's Report Sharply Crit icised Pockets Ills Lot! and Drape Oat Rather Thaa Embarrass City, Contractor Wlckham, ss announced a few daye ago, will accept the return from the city of the I13.0C0 certified check which he put up with his bid on the proposed municipal water 'works plant. The check Is still In the custody of City Clerk Casady, but Mr. Wlckham will accept It after the following letter from him has been reid to the city council at Its meeting Monday night: Replying to your request to accept the reiurn or the certmwi rnecg aeposnea with my bid for the construction of the water works. I beg leave to Inform you that I have decided to comply with your wish. I prefer to lose what money I have socnt in connection with my bid than to Incur the lli-wlll of any of our cltlsens who may not compretiena me real eitua tlon. I cannot forego the thought, how ever, that If the plan hart ben all that the council wtsheu, and 1 hid made an Improvident bid, would the council permit me to retract and g.ve me back my check If I re.Usted it T However, I do not wish this matter dis missed with any false Impression from the rrpirt or engineer Bryan, which, so far us It concerns my bid, Is decidedly uti fair. From Its tone.lt Is evidently Inpplied by some person who wished to be rid of the plan pretarej by the city engineer, and who took occasion to accompilsn thst purpose under cover of an attick upon my bid that Is not warranted by the facts. Let anyone examine the reort of Mr Bryan printed In the pamphlet just Iss ied by you, and' It will readily be seen that, al though he pretended to approve the plans In a general way, he realiy objected to them In so many Important particulars as to nullify the former approval. If what he says of my bid is basd upon all the In formation lie had of It, then I mast say that he did not have full Information on that point. The lncons stency of the re port clearly appears In that when he deals with the plans he passes each ob jection with the statement that It can be covered by the engineer when he drafts the contract, yet when he deals with my bid It never occurs to him that such mat ters to which he tikes exception might be adjusted in tne name manner by the pro visions of the contract. Ae a matter of fact, many of the matters were left to the final decision of Mr. Etnyre to be specifically covered by the contract to be prepared. i never was asged to meet with your committee and Mr. Bryan to check the dirierent estimates or to see if the con tract could be so drafted as to meet the objections of Mr. Bryan. I was com pielely Ignored. If Mr. Etnyres plunu were in fact satisfactory, and It was the real desire of the council to build accord lng to thoso plans, would not good faith prompt that 1 be called Into consultation to see If the contract could be harmon ized with the changes proposed? As to Mr. Bryan's figures on the cost of a plant lor tnis city, they are S3 far below me estimates of the different en glneera who have been called upon to con slder that matter, that It is very apparent that he Is grossly In error on that point. I would be willing to wager the full amount of the check returned that this city will never be able to build an ad quatj s.. st'-m of water works for tne ligjrej given by Mr. Bryan. If this dly ever duel build a plant within such figures It will be at the expense of many citizens who can never be supplied with water from It. Mr. Bryan's statement of causes that operated to prevent bids, or affe.ted my bid upon the plant, are plainly not his own aince he could not have been awsj-o of conditions or sentiment here except Tiy the statement of others. Plainly his re port Is influenced by the Ideas and wishes of others. One other suggestion before I close: If my contract lor building the plant , had been submitted In connection with the proposition to Issue bonds In payment as iixi cycij i-naini 10 neneve would 'be done, the chances of adoption would have jeen much better than by submitting the letter alone, for In the first Instants the people would have had some def.nite in turmatlon of how that niont-y would be pent, and It would be spent for that par ticular purpose. But now the people an not know Just how that money will be will be used to build a municipal plant Just how extensive will be the plant; just who shall be Included, etc., nobody can tell, irue, promises can be made, and I presume this Is a fair Instance that thev JVy j ? broken. And when It comes to the details of a complete plan, its ma chinery, etc. the average Utlren cannot understand them without pankuar ex planation If he th'nka he can. let him iel that portion of Mr. Bryan s report that Oea!s with the plana. I have taken occasion to refer to the foregoing matters in order that the pubi c may know that the imp.esslon souiht to ,rhrealed fcy Mr. Rryan s ie,ort so fa? us the same refers to my bid, are whollv TM. mud, I am .Milted if, ? h-yi?u ask me to terminate what lights I had by your acceptanco of my bid. toll R&TES 250,000 Acres of the Choicest Virgin Prairie Saskatchewan Wheat Land Will Be Offered for Sale at Public Auction At the City of tlegina, October 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 1908, by TGie SasEiatoomi Westiem Laoid Ltd . . , AAANIT0 6A A QUICK s..l 5 EASY TRIP , .ed -FROM ALL l fx POINTS MU1HC l" " -------T"" ;fw , f X 1 l . w fl f V!

The first speech of the day was at Mattoon, wheie Mr. Sherman, who was taking breakfast, stopped between his can taloupe und his omelette to make a short speech. Here one lone woman stood on the ttatton platform, where she had been since dawn, In the hope of catching a glimpse of Mrs. Nicholas Lsngworth, Presi dent Roosevelt's daughter.

It certainly has its use. No party Is so absolutely perfect that It Is not a good plan to watch It a little as the demo cratic party watches us. It puts us on our mettle to be a little better perhaps than we would be otherwise. If It were not for the fact that every four years we have to meet their criticisms. The democratic party can stand mors punishment than any army mule and thrive on It better than a base ball player. As the train pulled out a small boy cheered for Bryan and Mr. Sherman, with bis bands tor a megaphone shouted back, "One small boy yelling for Bryan In an audience of hundreds."

HASKELL His Defense of the Governor Makes It Meet for Him to Tear for the Tall and I ncut PERRY SECIHES HIS DIVORCE Newton Mun Given Release from M urn-Married Woman. MARSHALLTOWN. Ia.. Oct. 4-(Spe-cial.) John D. Perry, well known In New ton, Jasper county, today succeeded In hav ing his marriage 10 Mrs. Caroline Carlson Perry annulled. Judge McHenry of Des Moines grantrd the divorce. Perry's so called wife, had at least seven living hus bands, and so far as Is known she was the "most" married woman In the west. She made It a business of many lng men and then fleecing them of their money. Perry was the third husband of the woman, whom he married In 19".i6. The woman pretended to be In the employ of the government pos tal department, and which claiming to be so employed, she flitted from husband to husband. From time to time she told Perry that she was on secret business, and that she could not divulge her whereabouts It was on one ot these trips that Perry grew suspicious, and he followed his wife to Des Moines. There he met a man named Carlson, from Canada, who was looking for the same woman Perry was after. The woman escaped before she could be, ar rested. Later it developed that she pur chased a man's attire, and It Is supposed she escaped, dressed as a male. Carlson said that she Ml Canada each winter on the claim that she could not stand the severe cold weather of that climate. Now It Is United fltntes Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, Governor Haskell's political side piirtner, who has gone back to the fields of waving alfalfa. Senator Owen was to speak In Omaha la't evening, but something happened and the senator did not come to Omaha, though all the arrangements had been made. Press reports stated that the Oklahoman was "called home on urgent private bust ncss," but simultaneous with the senator cutting for the alfalfa, there appeared the story of how he had defended Charles N. Haskell, when the governor's fall from grate became public property, and also the disclosures which' showed the two faced role the senator hed been playing In attacking Taft and claiming for himself the friendship of union labor, when ha was the side partner of Haskell and a charter member of one of the most persist ent citizens alliance organizations ever called to order. And these simultaneous reasons coming with the reason stated, are taken as ts real reasons why the Oklahoman did not appear In Omaha last evening. What Did the Business. The one thing which seems to have drfven Owm back to the alfalfa was the making public of the roll nf the Citizens' Alliance of Muskogee, which showed tha senator was a charter member. It was thla organization, which passed resolutions In which eveiyono pledged, "we snd each of us will do all In our power to discrimin ate against any and all union men who may hold a union or assembly card." The minutes of the meeting ssy "On mo tion of R. L. Owen It was decided to or ganise an alliance along the lines of Ilka organizations thrcughour.' the country." Had Senator Owen appeared In Omaha last evening he would doubtless have faced a large number of union worklngmen who attend Saturday evening meetings mora than meetings any other day of the week. The exposuro that Owen was an acilvs opponent of organized labor de:tta his 1 profession of frk-radshlp for the unions. tame at a tlmo which was unfortunate for the democrats and Owen ha gone back to alfalfa. Benslor Gore, who way to Seak. did not come, but It wawannouin-e J that Sena tor Gore would speak later. Married Maa In Troable.
