A building enterprise of considerable pro
portions waa begun yesterday when Con

moving the big brick building on the
Shugart property oppoalte the northwest
corner of Baylies park from the front to

The twelve-room dwelling, which waa for
generation the homestead of the late K

rled back to the alley lying between the
property line and the poetofflce building,
giving it an east. Instead of a south, front!
Contractor Jensen estimate! that It will

ACCOUNTANT COX ENDS WORK
Checks Over Books of Water Works
Starts City Accounts.
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE DELINQUENT
Operation of Plant fur Jane Will Be
at Loss If latere! Charges Are
Considered Coat f 3,000
Month.
M. F. Cox, state municipal accountant,
completed yesterday his work of checking
over the books In the office of the water
company to determine the amount to be
returned by the company for the month of
June collected after April 1 for the quarter
ending July 1. After all deductions and
allowances are made the expert finds that
the city's new water works cash book
should begin with fcJ, 696.91 to the good,
Mr. Cox completed his work yesterday
morning and left for Des Moines in the
afternoon, after having ' been here little
more than a week.
The expectation was that he would be
detained for several Weeks. The shortness
of the period of his employment was due
wholly to the remarkably clear and perfect
system of keeping the water accounts In
augurated by Manager Hart and carried
out by the bookkeeper. Miss Bonham. In
hla report Mr. Cox particularly speaks of
this and says the system will be used by
him as sample records. The statement
furnished by Mr. Cox shows the total
amount collected from consumers during
the quarter to be as follows:
Total amount flat rate collections... IS, 348. 32
Less, amount collected previously
earned 829.09
Amount to be divided 18,019.23
Only Few Delinquents.
There are only twenty-five delinquents
who have failed to pay and the amounts
aggregate only $71.60. The company under
takes to guarantee these collections and
to turn Into the city Its one-third, 123.83,
The expert finds that there Is a refund
on paid up Insurance of I2M.39. The amount
of Insurance carried Is 148,000. After all of
these deductions are made the amount of
cash to be turned over to the city, which
waa done yesterday, equal the sum men
tioned above.
No Rebates Foaad Dae.
No rebate at all are found to be due
from meter readings, and Is explained by
Mr. Cox in hi report thus:
The meter reading commenced seven daya
before and ended seven days after June L
These readings are for the May earnings.
I find tha the large amounts, such as
railroads, hospitals, schools, etc., were all
read on June 1, leaving the realdence dis
tricts nearly equally divided, so near that
there will be practically no difference, as
a part of the next reading for the city
will date from May 23 and a part from
June 8, while the large amounts will date
from June 1. These readings belong to the
water works company and are to be sold to
the city upon a guarantee a to the col
lection. All transfers from flat rate to the meter
account mad during the quarter have been
checked and found correct
Since June 1 warrant have been drawn
aggregating $ll!.t, numbered from 1 to ,
Inclusive. Collection on new privilege
installed $7.60 refunds, tin water turned off
$1.70. ' The new book will be debited and
credited accordingly, ,
On account of the distance between the
city treasurer' office and the water work
department office, the system which is the
most practical of collecting and receipting
oannot be used, but a form of numbered
carbon copy receipt will be adopted, which
la considered the next best system to
adopt.
The form for the cash book, voucher
record and ledger that waa used by the
Council Bluffs Water company will be
adopted by the city. These are among the
best that I have found In the state and
will be used by me a sample record.
Each of the office force Is competent and
with the improvement noted in the collec
tion end of the business no criticism could
be offered.
The new book should start with a cash
debit of $3,6114.91.
First Montis at n Lose.
The report Indicates that the operation
of the plant for the month of June will
be at a loss if the Interest charges are
to be considered. The interest amount to
$27,000 a year, or $J,250 a month, but the
amount heretofore paid for fire hydrant
rentals, which waa more than $J,000 under
the old rate and above $17,000 under the
$40 rate, must be deducted from thl. The
cost of operating the plant will be about
$3,000 a month. The meter readings for
June must be added to the' net amount of
$2,684.91, whloh will aggregate nearly a
much as the flat rate for the month, as
about one-third of the consumer are on
meter service.

Merchant Negotiates for Property
Where lit I tore Is Located and

An Important real estate deal waa fin
ished yesterday when George F. Hamilton
bought the double building, 411 Broadway,
where his shoe store I located, and the
adjoining 414. forming part of ths store
room of Joe W. Smith & Co. The transac

the property changes hand for the first
time in more than fifty years.
The property ha been In the Baldwin

waa made yesterday from Mr. Jane Bald

N. Baldwin, late general solicitor of the
Union Paclflo railroad. The consideration
is withheld for the prosent, but it 1 known
to be above 3u.0u0.
Mr. Hamilton haa occupied room 411 for
the laat twelve year and has paid a stiff
rental for It Although hi lease ha three
years yet to run he haa recently become a
This great sale will demonstrate the wonderful buying power of this remarkable specialty
store, how our wonderful success became a fact, and is not a mere accident, as some of our
competitors will put it.
It has been the constant aim of this organization to create a large demand for high, class goods, so as to give us a great buying power, and in
order to accomplish our aim we are one of the very few firms in this country that sell nothing but the finest apparel for Women and Misses, at
extremely low margins of profit and by adhering strictly to this principle, we have built up a wonderful business, and when the opportunity came to
us to buy a large' quantity of silks at extremely low prices, we bought the entire lot, turned it over to the largest garment manufacturer in this
country, who made us a very low price, being, as it was, their quietest time of the year.
The Entire Purchase Goes on Saie Saturday

Inquiries concerning the lease and the own
ership of the property. Hi business has
grown steadily, with the present year's re
ceipts Indicating nearly double the volume
of trade of a year ago. He decided that
he did not wish to find himself in the sam
predicament that some other merchants
have suffered from being compelled to seek
a new location for a heavy business that
bad been centrally' located for a long
period. The purchase of the property fol

Joe W. Smith ft Co. will not be In the
least manner disturbed In the possession of
the portion so long occupied by the firm,
but will have a landlord anxious to add to
the convenience and value of the building.
Since coming to Council Bluff from Omaha
more than a dozen year ago Mr. Hamilton
has been a permanent booster. He has
been among the first to corns forward and
back any substantial public enterprise. He
has contributed more than 11,000 to ths

tlves have received word of the death of
Mrs. John Powers of Tiskllwa, 111. Mrs.
Powers Is quits well known here. Her
death Is believed to have been caused from
a fright occasioned about a year ago when
the Powers family lived on a farm. One
morning just as they were seated at ths
breakfast table a burglar appeared and
held up the entire family at the point of
a revolver for nearly a whole day. He
forced Mr. Powers to sign a check for a
large sum of money and binding him hand
and foot, forced the son to drive him to
town. During the drive Mr. Powers man
aged to break the bonds and went to the
house of a neighbor, where he telephoned
to the bank on which the check was drawn
to slop payment. The robber then forced
the boy to drive him to some timber, where
he escaped, but was recaptured- It was

Work.
While In Omaha yesterday Mrs. Fiske
took time to visit with ths local officers

OMAHA, June I. To ths Editor ot The
Omaha Bee: When we arrived In Des
Moines last Monday the first thing ws saw
was a large dairy wagon, to whloh was
attached two fine-looking horses. , It was
a hot day. The horses wore bonnets to
protect their faithful heads from ths sun.
That was good to see. There Is an old
saving, "Treat a horse like a gentleman."
Ths proprietor of this particular dairy has
that Idea. He treats his horse like a gen
tlemen. It was a great pleasure to hear of ths
activities of the local society in Omaha.
Organisations that Include the protection
of animals are the most unpopular organ
isation In the world. The Hon people
rarely assist them. That Is to say, ths
rich rarely give In proportion to their
means. As a matter of fact, a half dozen
rich persons, working In harmony, could
all but abolish the more flagrant fact of
c'ltelty la any city of this size. For the
most part human organizations are sus
tained and supported by noble souls who
csnnot afford their gifts. A great man has
said, "The government of man over his
God-given domination Is a failure. It Is
without Intelligence. It Is without justice.
It Is without mercy. ' It Is not adminis
tered In the Interests of the governed. And
yet, with a few shining exceptions, the pul
pit falls to cry aloud falls to lift up Its
vclce like a trumpet to teach man bis duty
to the helpless subjects of his rule."
Cruelty Is the unpardonable sin. The
aim of the humane association Is to lessen
cruelty. Every Intelligent cltlsen of
Omaha, or any other city, man or woman
(If he stops to think), will agree that it Is
his sacred duty to support the local hu
mane society by becoming a member.
Let us hope for a "Mercy Sunday" in
the churohea and In the Sunday schools.
Above all, let ua hope for humane educa
tion In the publlo schools. Heart culture
Is quits as Important as brain culture. Ths
days will dawn on a fairer world, a world
where there is far lens crime and misery,
when our children are taught that "the
greatest coward Is he who treats with
cruelty any helpless living thing."

Seventy-five of ths alumni of Bellevu
college sat down to their annual banquet
board In the college commons 'Thursday
with the fifteen new-made members of the
asroclatlon, the class of 1911, as their
guests. This event, followed by ths pres
ident's reception at Rankin hall, marked
the close of a brilliant commencement
week, packed to ths brim with the vari
ous class and school activities.
Degrees were conferred In ths morning
upon a class of fifteen graduatss. ,
Dr. J. M. Patton of Omaha was toast
master. Of the class of '01, he has closely
followed ths college in every branoh of Its
activities since his graduation and ha
been for several years a trustee.
Ths address of the evening was given by
th Rev. George R. Lunn, D. D., '7, pastor
of a large church at Schenectady, N. T.,
and prominent In th Empire state as one
of ths most progressive and radical men
In ths clergy. His address was largely
along personal lines, som of his remem
brances ot "Old Elk Hill" as he knew It,
but he closed with a stirring call for men
of ths hour in every occupation.
Bellevae Raisin; Money..
Dr. Btookey took occasion to maks clear
some matters regarding the financial condi
tion of the college. Two year's ago Belle
vue college was 4O,0O0 In debt. This fact
alone was sufficient to make It Impossible
to secure endowment funds from the large
eastern philanthropists, who as a rule con
dition their donations that ths Institution
first gst out of debt A movement was
then set on foot to accomplish this object
and has been strenuously carried on up to
the present time. It had been hoped that
the announcement of the clearing up of
the debt could be made on commencement
day, but this was Impossible. However,
(30,000 of the debt has been pledged, besides
a very substantial sum toward the pros
pective endowment of 1100,000, and Dr.
Stookey announced that with Uie co
operation of the friends of the college a
very few days will see the college free of
debt and completely on Its feet. That
accomplished, the speedy endowment of the
college Is absolutely assured. The college
board ot the Presbyterian church has
granted Bellevue 5,000 toward the clearing
up of the debt and (3,000 for the current ex
penses of next year.
Welcome to New Class.
W. A. Kearns, '08, secretary of the
Young Men's Christian association at Fre
mont, extended the welcome to the new
class and waa answered In well-chosen
wcrds by W. Br Dysart of Sperlor.
Dr. Charles Kimball Hoyt, who occupies
the chair of literature In the college, de
livered an address which treated ot Belle
vue's future in glowing terms.
Ths Wadsworth loving cup, presented
each year to the class that registers the
largest attendance In proportion to its
number, was won this year by the class
of '07, a representative of that class ac
cepting It from the hands of last year's
hoi dr a ths class of '01, with the cutomary
ceremony. Bellevue alumni, tor a local In
stitution and not a large one, are excep
tionally widely scattered, and the cup Is
on of the Incentives that brings a large
number back to commencement every year.
Last year, when Bellevue was at a finan

association at their banquet in flfweu min
