CITIZENS OF BKXSON.
IWurc You IIhcp Your Yotes Next
Tuesday, April nth, Think, Stop ami
Consider Investigate.
Are you satisfied with the manner In
which our city fund have been handled?
Aro you satisfied with the. distribution of
street Improvement, mostly to Improve
'ONE STREET? Ask anyone In Benson
why. He can tell you.
Are you satisfied with the letting of pav
ing and sidewalk contracts? Are you
'pleased with the work we secured from
such contract? Do you know how and
why such contracts were let? Find out be
fore you vote.
Ion't you think the city of Benson should
have Interest on their money aa well aa any
I Individual? Over $.".!i0 was lost because a
' bid of 3 per cent was not opened by the
City council. Why didn't we get It? There
Is a reason.
Do you know why sidewalk (trades were
not given us when walks were petitioned
on certain streets?
Do you know why walks were ordered in
front of Mock after block of VACANT
FKOPERTY while manv who were hegvrins;
fr walks In front of their IMPROVED
property could not get the (Trade stakes?
To ask the question Is to answer It wn-n
you know the circumstance. Iearn i'vni
before you nlve your vote.
The republican candidates promise an
eiual distribution of public Improvements,
and thy are men of their word, every one.
They are not tied up with any aet or clique.
None In any BI'SINE&s that will INTER
FETTE or prevent them from doing the best
iHng for our city at the right time.
Thev have the ability and the experience
hocked up by the nerve and backbone to
art. They are all successful business men,
() TTes! vf, yet comprehensive.
Th opposing candidates will spread the
'I'irt (it the last minute) that these gen-t'r-n.rn
are not business men. and other re
ii -". as transparent, an It la a well known
f i-t that every candidate on the republican
;' Urt Is a buMlnexa man of exceptional
lib life and now holds a high position of
tr i.t. They are worried and will grab at
the last straw. But whatever reports you
har. think for yourself; ask a few ques
tions; you ran easily find the object for
such reports.
Our little city of S.flOO Is growing too fast.
Improving too rapidly to have any but x
nei lenced and successful business men at
Its head. It la no time now to vote for
parties we must vote for men for Benson
and her interests. These men are found on
the republican ticket. This election la very
Important and unless the right men are
elected may be serious- Get busy, every
on. Take no chances. We have one more
day to work for Benson. We bave the
right men on the ticket. We have a good
platform. WE CAN WIN. WE WILL
WIN.
VOTE FOR BENSON. VOTE- THE RE
PUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT AND
WE CANNOT GO WRONG.

Council Bluffs In a few days will-be with
out an enclosed ball park. Orders have
been given for the Immediate destruction
of the grandstand and fences of what Is
known as the Ideal-Hustlers' park on Sixth
street. Just south of Sixteenth avenue. Tho
prop-rty belongs to the Burlington railroad
and la to be converted Into switching yards
and other terminal facilities.
Although no estimate of the cost of the
Improvements planned by the Burlington
has been given out. It is stated that the
company contemplates making extensive
rf.ntinns tn Its local yards. Plans hnve
been drawn and the contracts. It Is t-ald
awarded for the proposed Improvements, or
at least a portion of them.
When the work la completed It will mean
the transfer of a large part of the switching
from the yards east of Main atreet, and
the elimination of much of the trouble now
encountered by switching across Main
street.
The destruction of Hustler park will leave
the ball team of the city without enolosed
grounds. The local amateur teams are aa
yet undecided what to do. Ground coma
possibly be secured In the western part of
the city, between Broadway and First ave
nue, but the cost of fencing and erecting a
grandstand would probably be more than
the teams could afford. Unless ul.abla
grounds are procured. It Is likely that most
of the games w'.ll be played outside r.f the
city this season.

STREET ORDINANCE VALID
Judge Snyder Holds Merchants Mar
Hot Obatract the
Street.
juage unycer or me superior court yes
terday held that the ordinance regulating
the display and sals of merchandise on
the public streets of the city, recently
passed by the city council was both valid
and reasonable. This ruling waa given tn
tha suit brought sgatnst 8. A. Pierce & Co.,
shoe dealers at tha corner of Broadway
and Main street. Tha case will be taken up
on a writ of error to the district court by
the shoe firm.
The ordinance provides that no one shall
he permitted to sell goods or solicit trad
on the street, or display merchandise for
sale except on shelves that shall not ex
tend more than eighteen Inches over the
sidewalk. At the time the ordinance was
passed It was generally admitted by the
members ot the city council that It was
intended to apply to the case of ths Pterc
firm which utilized a considerable portion
of the sidewalk in front of Its store for the
sale of Its goods and kept one of Its em
ployes on the outside to attend to the
street sales.
Counsel for the Pierce firm In his motion
for a dismissal contended that the ordl
nance was invalid because tne title was
defective and the measure Itself was un
reasonable and discriminating. Counsel in
contending that the ordinance was dis
criminating charged that It had been
drafted and passed at the instance of the
firm's competitors.
Judge Snyder In overruling the motion to
dismiss announced that In his opinion the
..no waa tuuu ami mil ne lajlea to see
wherein the provisions of the measure were
unreasonable or discriminating In that they
were intended to apply to all merchants.
PASTOR DEFE.XDI W. I. SMITH
Rev. Jansea M. Williams Writes Let-
ter to Des Malaea Papers.
Rev. James M. Williams, pastor of Broad
way Methodist church of this city, has
written a letter to the Des Moines papers
tn answsr to the attack by Rev. J. C.
Pike, "pastor of the Capitol Park Metho
dist church of that city, on Congressman
Walter I. Smith. Rev. Mr. Williams be
lieves that a great Injustice has been done
Judge Smith:
In his reply to the Des Moines pastor
Rev. Mr. Williams says In part:
Walter I. Smith's position on matters
touching the procedure of tha house and
state matters Is well known. I can under
stand how one may differ from him
along these Unea. but I do not under
stand how one who knows the man can
accuse him of being a grafter or question
nis integrity.
This note is not a campaign contribu
tion. It Is simply a plea for the square
deal. W all know that there Is a con
teat on In the Ninth district, but it is
a contest of Idess and not men. The writer
regards both Mr. Smith and Mr. Byers as
able and honorable men. Either would
reflect great credit on the district. They
differ along definite lines and each can
ably defend his position. According to our
system of government sll progress Is made
mis way.
I hope Mr. Pike hss been wrongly quoted,
for the writer knows by experience that
this thing is very liable to occur. He be
longs to the same denomination and to the
same conference, but the writer has the ad
vantage of being personally well acquainted
with Walter I. Smith. Such charges as
these are serious, and should not be made
unleas they can be proven. Tours,

Proprietors,
April Fool Fire Alarma.
The fire department was given an exer
cise run shortly after noon yesterday to
Twenty-first street and Avenue C. the
alarm being sent In over a telephone. When
ths firemen reached the place they discov
ered it was a false slarm, evidently in
tended as an April fool Joke.
Eire Chief Nicholson and Deputy City
Marshal Crum made an Investigation and
although they learned that the false alarm
had been sent In over a phone on a four
party line were unable to diet-over the
person who had telephoned. A year ago on
April 1 two false alarms were sent In from
the same neighborhood, giving the depart
ment unnecessary runs. Chief Nicholson
Intends to continue his Investigation and
If the culprit 1 located, he or ahe will be
prosecuted.
