Validity of Fifty-Year Grant to Street

DECISION TO FILE SUIT EARLY
Attorneys for Traction l.lne ay
F.mlnent Lawyers Hare Exam
ined niahla and Pronounce
Them Least.
As soon as he receives formal Instruc
tions from the city council. City Solicitor
Kimball of Council Bluffs will In
stitute proceedings In the courts
to determine the validity of the
fifty-year franchise granted tho Council
Ulurfs. Lake Manawa & East Omaha Con
struction company In December, 1S97. This
franchise was subsequently assigned to the
Omaha. Council Bluffs & Suburban Hall
way company. The last named company
recently conveyed all Its rights and privi
leges Under this franchise to the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge com
pany, under a lease from which the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway company
Is operating tha s'.reet car system In Coun
cil Bluffs.
Following the recent visit of Attorney
General Byera to this city, when he met
with a committee from the West Council
Bluffs and West End Improvement clubs,
at which he made public the result of his
and City Solicitor Kimball's Investigation
of the status of the street railway com
pany's franchise rights in this city, the
matter was referred by the city council
to the Judiciary and the city solicitor to
advise what steps. If any, should be taken
by the city to have this question deter
mined. Deride on Immediate Action.
Councllmen Olson, Morgan and Rlgdon,
composing the Judiciary committee, met
with the city solicitor Tuesday night and
after dlscutslng the situation decided to
report in favor of Immediate action to test
the validity of what Is commonly known
as the suburban franchise, under which.
It la understood, the street railway com
pany claims to be now operating In Coun
cil Bluffs. This report will be made to
the city council at the adjourned meeting
next Monday night, when It Is expected
requisite Instructions will be given the city
solicitor to Institute the legal proceedings.
The committee decided that no attack
would be made on the rights of the street
railway company under the franchise
granted the Omaha & Council Bluffs Rail
way and Bridge company In October, 1SS6,
which expires In October, 1911.
"I do not know how soon I will be able
to prepare the papers In the proposed suit,
provided the city council should act In ac
cordance with the recommendation of the
Judiciary committee," said Mr. Kimball yes
terday. "The report of the committee will
recommend that the proceedings be Insti
tuted as soon as possible and I shall do
my best to get the papers ready for filing
In a short time. The proceedings will prob
ably be brought In the district court."
"The city can bring suit as soon as It
wants to," said Charles M. Hart of the
firm of Harl ft Tlnley, attorneys for the
street railway company. The franchise has
been thoroughly Investigated by eminent
lawyers to whom It was submitted. The
company has no doubt whatever as to the
outcome and It has abiding confidence In
the validity of its franchise rights In Coun
cil Bluffs."

The Thirteenth Census
It Is probable that the thirteenth census
will credit the United States, exclusive of
the Philippines, with a population of 90.
000,000. an Increase of 14.000.000 over the rec
ord of 1HO0. No one may venture, with
confidence, to predict the results of a
census which must take Into account the
many marvelous changes of the first de
cade of the twentieth century, yet so closely
do certain tendencies of growth follow de
fined rules that many of the Important
showings may be discounted. For Instance,
In 1K4. Mulhall, the eminent English statis
tician, made a prediction of the probable
results of the American census of 1890. The
final results differed but a few thousands
from Mulhall's estimate, the difference be
ing less than 1 per cent.
Although 14,000.000 Inhabitants have been
added to our population In the past ten
years. It Is relatively a smaller Increase
than that of the previous ten years. Sta
tisticians expect to see the United States
continue to grow, but at a constantly dim
inishing rate. As the country becomes
more and more filled up, the opportunities
for the poor of Europe to better their
conditions here will become fewer and
fewer, and Immigration will fall off more
and more with each passing decade. The
result will show In the Increased proportion
of Inhabitants born on American soil.
Of course the most Interesting result of
the thirteenth census will be the relative
showing of the states In the matter of
population. Will they hold the same re
lative position In congressional and elec
toral college representation during the next
ten years that they now hold. To the In
dividual state that is an Important ques
tion. And It means still more than that.
Representation In the great national con
ventions Is fixed by the number of senators
and representatives In congress, and thus
may party policy and the whole course of
our future political history hang on the
results of the forthcoming reckoning.
The statea may show a change in the
order of precedence as based on population.
This has happened at every census, though
with a decreasing ratio at the more recent
ones. In IKK) Kansas ranked nineteenth
In population, but by 1900 Minnesota, Missis
sippi and California had forced It back.
Into twenty-second place. Wisconsin moved
up from fourteenth to thirteenth place,
Washington from thirty-fourth to thirty-
third, Oregon from thirty-eight to thirty
fifth, Georgia from twelfth to eleventh,
and Maryland from twenty-seventh to
twenty-sixth. On the other hand Wyom
ing dropped back three notches, Vlrglna
two, Vermont four, Utah three. New
Hampshire three and a number of other
states on step backward each. It Is ap
parent that In a close political campaign
such changes as these may work
wonders both In the complexl6n of the
house and the control of the presi
dency. It Is not Improbable that several
of the states will have their representa
tion cut down by the thirteenth census.
Two of them, Virginia and Maine, narrowly
escaped such a castastrophe as a result
of the 1900 count.
The returns will probably result In a
remarkable shake-up among the cities of
the country. While this will mean little
or nothing nationally, to the Individual city
It seems an Important proposition, and
there are as many healthy rivalries for
position In the ten-year endurance con
tests of the cities as there are In a well
matched horse race with a large number
of entries. For Instance, Akron, -Ohio hold
ing 109th place In ks90 forged ahead to 87th
place In 1900, while Albany, New. Tork
holding 28th place In 1890 slipped back to
40th In 1900. Butte, Montana Jumped from
169th place to 133rd. Cincinnati dropped
back from eighth to tenth place. Cleveland
hustled up a bit and landed In seventh
place from ninth. Duluth climbed out of
tlst place Into 72nd, Houston, Texas, from
110th to 85th and Los Angeles from 66th
to 36th. Portland, Oregon moved up from
60th to 42nd and Seattle from 69th to 48th.
It was a gruelling race In which only seventy-five
of the 161 cities of over 26,000 In
habitants, were able to keep ahead of
the places In which they started. An equal
number fell behind, and eleven simply held
theli own. There will be a driving finish
as the present ten-year race winds up.
There Is much room for speculation as
to what the figures will show as to the
aggregate wealth of the nation. If the In
dustrial progress of the first four years of

when found to be unarmed, was released.
Details of the fire at the Deaton home
at Crockettsvllle Monday night also arrived
today, and they indicate that there may
be serious trouble in this vicinity as a
result.

Some Probable Results
the present decade had continued un
checked to the end of the period, we
would find ourselves a nation with an ag
gregate wealth of more than $140,000,000,000.
The Increase probably received a notable
check In the panic of 1907, and I12&.000.000.000
may more nearly approximate the grand
total of all our wealth In 1910. This Is ap
proximately double the wealth of the next
richest nation In Christendom.
In manufactures. If the rate of progress
that was shewn between 1900 and 1906
should be continued to the end of the de
cade, the results ought to show an annual
output valued at about 31S.5O0.O00.000. Wages
paid In manufacturing Industries ought to
amount to nearly $3,000,000,000 a year.
A highly Interesting test of the accuracy
of the estimates of the Department of
Agriculture will be made In the analysis
of the statistics of the farm. The depart
ment makes annual estimates of the pro
duction of all the Important crops and of
the number of farm animals In the country.
The figures are based on estimates made
by crop correspondents of the percentages
above and below normal a given
year will show. The census figures
will be based on actual returns from
every farm, and Secretary Wilson will
have the opportunity to prove that his
estimating bureau knows Its business. His
crop and stock figures for 1910 will be on
hand first, and the world will have a'
chance to know Just how well he has
guessed. ThoaG who are cognizant of the
methods pursued by the Department of
Agriculture In estimating crop yields and
crop acreage are aware that these esti
mates cannot be as accurate as the actual
farm to farm Inquiries of paid enumerators.
It Is probable that the. returns will over
state rather than understate the population
of the country, even though there Is not
a single Instance of padding them. Mttst
of this will occur In the cities. For In
stance, when an enumerator visits a house
where a servant Is employed, it Is not im
probable that the servant's name will be
Included In the returns for that household.
In another section of the city another
enumerator may be enumerating the family
of that same servant, and thus the servant
Is counted twice In the final summing up.
Extraordinary efforts will be made to
make the manufacturing statistics reveal
the true conditions of manufacturing. For
Instance, In the matter of canned corn, the
major portion of the value of the product
Is the corn that enters Into It. The actual
value added by the canning factory Is a
very small portion of the gross value of
the product. It Is possible to arrive at
the aotual significance of the corn-canning;
Industry only by showing the differ
ence between the cost of the materials and
the value of the product. As the census of
fice goes further In Its investigations It Is
gradually eliminating the duplication
caused by counting the product of the fac
tory twice. The automobile Industry Is
another remarkable instance of how values
tray be duplicated.. One factory makes the
tires and reports their value to the census.
Even that value may have been reported
in part by the factory which made the
coarse goods on which the rubber Is
moulded. Another factory makes the
leather for the cushions. The steel and
Iron mills and foundries make the steel
and Iron and reckons It in the value of
their output. Another factory makes the !
glass, and another the woodwork, and an
other the paint. Each .makes ua report of
the value of Its outpuLAfter each Item
has been counUjd Jn (heTcross., operations, ,
of one, two, or even .thrc either Industries
they are all carried over JLo.the automobile
Industry and counted again in the value
of the output there. From this It will be
seen that the only way to find the net re
sults of manufacture Is to deduct the cost
of the materials as they come to each fac
tory that has a part In the production of
the finished article. The thirteenth census
will look more carefully Into this than any
of Its predecessors.
On the whole. It Is freely predicted that
the great national snapshot of April 16,
1910, will show a picture that will gratify
every one of the 90,000,000 patriotic hearts In
this land of the free. It probably will show
a higher degree of mental, moral and
physical well being than any other census.
It will tell a tale of progress that will be
Justification for pride upon the part of
every American citizen. -

BIG STRUCTURE IS UNSAFE
New York Building; Costing Two Ml,
lions, and Only Nlae Yeara
Old, Abandoned.
NEW TORK, Nov. 4.-Abandonment of
the criminal courts building, a 12,000,000
structure, only nine years old, was ordered
by the police tonight, following a report
by the superintendent of the building that
Its walls might collapse. The structure Is
of stone and apparently substantial, but
It was built before the days of steel rein
forcement and the excavations for the sub
way caused Its foundations to sag.
The criminal courts building has been
the scene of many famous trials, Including
the Thaw, the Molineux cases. Of late,
new cracks in the walls and ceilings have
been discovered almost dally and the Jus
tices of the courts have been alarmed. One
justice refused to hear a case today and
temporarily excused a Jury.
Welcome Words To' Women
If, you arc an intelligent thinking woman, in need of relief from weakness, nervous
ness, pain and suffering, then it means much to you that there is one tried and true
honest square-deal medicine OF KNOWN COMPOSITION, sold by druggists for the cure
of woman's ills. The makers of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for the cure of weak, nervous, run-down, over-worked, debilitated, pain-racked
women, knowing this medicine to be made up of ingredients, every one of which
has the strongest possible endorsement of the leading and standard authorities of
the several schools of practice, are perfectly willing, and in fact, are only too glad
to print, as they do, the formula, or list of ingredients, of which it is composed, in
plain Enghsh. on every bottle-wrapper. Is this not a significant fact worthy of
careful consideration?
Women use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription in preference to all other ad
vocated medicines sold by druggists for their peculiar weaknesses and ailments
because it is
THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol or hablt-tormlng drugs, Is not anything like advertised secret
compounds or patent medicines.
THE ONE REMEDY tor women devised by a regularly graduated physician of vast experience In woman's ail
ments and carefully adapted to her delicate organism.
THE OSE REMEDY good enough that Its makers are not afraid to print its every Ingredient on Its outside
bottle-wrapper.
It's foolishoften dangerous to be over-persuaded into accepting a secret nostrum" in place of this time
proven medicine of known COMPOSITION. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y.
What Does It Do?
It builds up the nerve tissues, tones up the heart, gives
power to the brain, strength and elasticity to the muscles
and richness to the blood. It brings into action all the vital
forces; it makes digestion perfect and enables you to get
from the food you eat all the nourishment it contains.
It is invaluable for overworked men, delicate women
and sickly children. It strengthens and sustains the system,
is a promoter of good health and longevity, makes the old
young and keeps the young strong.
It cures nervousness, tjhoid malaria, every form of
stomach trouble, diseases of the throat and lungs, and is
recognized as a medicine by doctors of all schools.
Thousands of letters have been received from men and
women in all walks of life, many from those nearly 100 years
old, extolling the virtues of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskpv

DINNER FOR THE JAPANESE
Commercial Delegation Guests of
Embassy Staff at Washington.
ADDRESS BY SECRETARY KNOX
Head of State Department Officially
Welcomes Gneata to United Statea
and Dlaenaaea Historic Friend
ship of Nations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Stirring ad
dresses bearing on the ties which unite
the Japanese and American nations, the
wonderful progrecs of the former country
and the Importance of bringing about a
perfect commercial understanding between
the two, characterised the banquet given
last night by the staff of the Japanese em
bassy to the visiting Japanese commercial
commission, the members of which are
making a tour of the country as the guests
of the Pacific coast chambers of commerce.
Tables were set for 130 In the banquet hall
of the Now Wllllard hotel, those present
Including, In addition to the guests of
honor, members of the cabinet and others
promlnept In the official, social and busi
ness ' life of Washington. '
In honor of the visiters the floral decora
tloi.s were largely of chrysanthemums of
various colors, with a liberal sprinkling
of American Beauty roses, while the na
tional colors of Japan were gracefully
entwined with those of America. Toasts
were drunk to the president of the United
States and to the emperor of Japan. Secre
tary of State Knox, In proposing the toast
to the mikado, remarked that it was most
appropriate on this anniversary of the
emperor's birth and In the distinguished
company of Japanesa present.
Addresses were made by Secretaries Knox
and Balllnger; Mr. Matsul, charge d'affairs
of the Japanese embassy; Baron Shlbusawa
and District Commissioner MacFarland.
Addreaa of Secretary Knox.
Secretary Knox spoke In p-rt as follows:
It Is my privilege and a great pleasure
to welcome you to Washington on behalf
of this government and to express the
sincere hope that your journeyings nnd
observations and entertainments In this
country have been and will continue to
be comfortable and profitable and agree
able to you.
This Is an opportunity of which I gladly
avail to speak of the ties which have
contributed to unite our two nntlons In
smlty and essential harmony ever since the
days when to American representatives
first of all you opened your doors for
reciprocal exchange of good will and civil
isation and trade. We have learned from
you as you from us. We admire vou for
all of your national gifts and virtues and
not the least for those casualties In which
you differ from us.
The great modern movements of accord
and good understanding between nations
are after all the lofty achievements and the
crown of all International relations. The
controlling principle of these movements is
peaceful and beneficial International inter
course and the peaceful settlement by arbi
tration of differences and controversies
extending that principle, by friendly diplo
macy, as rapidly as possible to embrace
an Increasing number and variety of dis
putes and ultimately by voluntary Inter
national compacts make peaceful settle
ments of all differences compulsory or prac
tically so.
I am confident that you will agree that
It Is altogether In accordance with the
honorable and enlightened attitude both of
Japan and the United States, and that it
It is an absolutely pure distillation of
malted grain, great care being used to have
every kernel thoroughly malted, thus
destroying the germ and producing a predi
gested liquid iood in the formation of a medi
cinal whiskey; softened by warmth and
moisture, its palatablity and freedom from
injurious substances render it so that It can be
retained by the most sensitive stomach.
It is a gentle, invigorating stimulant and
tonic. v
should be the aim of true statesmanship,
to continue to keep abreast of these benefi
cent movements in which they have borne
so distinguished a part.
Thus the long and unbroken friendship
of the United States and Japan, of which
your visit and this occasion are such happy
symbols, and the laudsble common purpose
of Japan and the United States to respect
each other's rights and with frankness,
patience and good temper to adjust such
differences as inevitably arise even between
nations of sympathetic and common pur
poses, will be exemplars which will bear
fruit and aid in tha rrHritml raiitinn t
the noblest Ideals for the unity, concord and
piueircmjr oi me worm.
In his brief remarks Mr. Matsul said that
his countrymen had been able to learn of
the enormous potentialities of American
enterprise and he hoped that the meeting
between them and the business men of
America would conduce to a better under
standing between Japan and the United
Statea.
Especially appreciative of the treatment
that had been accorded his countryme.-.
was Baron Shlbusawa. Life to Ihem had
been perceptibly broadened by their visit to
the United States, he said. "Japan," he
said, "wants to do the best It can within
Its power to pay the heavy debt It owes to
America and one of the most effective ways
to do this, I believe, is In promoting the
trade relations between the two countries.
That trado already is extensive. Japan's
Intention Is to take part in America's trade
to the utmost of Its ability and Its oppor
tunity. Its Ideals not necessarily to benefit
itself to the detriment of America and other
nations. Japan wants to develop the trade
so as to benefit both participants."
Today being the anniversary of the birth
of the emperor, the visitors assembled at
the Japanese embassy, where they cele
brated the occasion after the fashion of
their country.
