carried out but IL no such arrangements
can be made. the probabilities are that the
plan originally decided upon by the select
committee. will stand without any change.
THIS MORNING
the subcommittee held conference with
the officers of the Electric Light company.
While the result of their confab has not
been made public, 1t is understood that the
company managers think very favorably
of the proposition, and will submit the
same to meeting of the directors to be
held next Saturday night. The managers
of the company favor plan that will give
general satisfaction to the citizens, and to
this end, they may agree to put up an ex
ira tower of seventy feet, provided the
tower located on Third avenue and Sew
enteenth street is removed to the upper
end of the city This arrangement, they
think, will make the system a success, as
it will illuminate all parts of the city,
which is the object of the new arrange
ment. Nothing definite was arranged this
morning, but it is highly proba BILE that the
additional tower will be erected If sufficient
time is allowed the company in which to
complete the system in a careful and salts
factory manner to themselves as well as TO
the city.
THIS AFTERNOON
Oliver Olson, president of the Electric
Light company, stated that the proposition
of the aldermen looking to the cree
ton of an additional tower to that called
for by the contract. would not be granted
by the company. He held that the towers
were sufficient in number to properly light
the city if properly distributed, and he did
not think that the company should be
called upon to build an extra tower simply
because the committee had failed to locate
the towers so as to give general satisfac-
lion among the people. He did not think
the proposition would be favorably con
sidered by the directors of the company,
as he did not think it good business
transaction, The company did not desire
more time than that allowed by the con-
tract, and would receive no compensation
for the tenth tower, which would cost the
company some seven hundred dollars.

Change in the Original Plan
.. of the Towers.

Last evening, meeting of the special
committee of the city. council, appointed
to locate the new electric towers. was held
at the council rooms, and attracted a fair
audience in addition to The naeilabersef the
committee. The committee Is composed
of Mayor Carse, Aldermen Lafranz, O'Neil,
Mott, Lundy. Larkin, Reimers and Hull,
and they were all present with the ex-
ception of Mr. Mott, who is absent from
the city. The object of the meeting was
stated to be the consideration of a
petition signed by $50 business men re-
questing the locationof one of the towers
on Second avenue. The powers of the
special committee were then questioned,
as some of the members concluded that the
committee was appointed by the council
to recommend plan for the arrangement
of the towers, wh'e others held that the
committee was empowered to adopt the
location. The resolution appointing the
committee was found to contain the words
''lecate thetewers" aud this was held to be
confirmat0ry of the view entertained by
those who maintained that the committee
had full power to locate the towers, their
plan to be ratified b.. the council.

AN ELopEMENT.

Charles Pittsburg is resident of Gin
ton, Iowa, where short time ago he had
a wife and home. He is now searching
for his wife, as she has eloped with another
man and left her husband without any ex-
PLANTATION or excuse. Pittsburg after liv-
ing in Clinton for several years, concluded
to try his fortunes in Colorado and for that
purpose babe his wife I'm affectionate fare
well, and took his departure for the cen
tennial state. He prospered in his new
venture and was as happy in the prospect
of sending for his wife as man is ex-
pected to be. He was the recipient of
fond and affeetionate letters from his
better half, who expressed the regret that
they should be separated and longed for the
time when business effairs would permit
them to live together. This correspon-
tlence was continued until within a few
weeks, when the letters failed to come,
and the husband became anxious. He
feared that his wife might be sick and
unable or unwilling to communicate with
him. His anxiety grew upon him, and
caused him to return to Clinton. He
visited the little cottage made dear to him
by the recollection of his early married
life. and anticipated hearty welcome
from the partner of his joys and
sorrows. Instead of such a reception.
he found the house occupied by
strangers who knew him not, and who fail
ed to give any account of his wife. Sub
sequent inquiries, however, developed the
fact that she had not pinned away because of
the absence of her liege lord, and had taken
unto herself new partner whose name is
said to be Joseph May. The said May had
ingratiated himself into the affections of
the wife of Pillsbury, and had finally in
duced her to fly with him to southern
cline. This May was of romantic turn
of mind, and did not elope on common
place railroad train, nor. did he ask his
charmer to HE away in wagon; but he
constructed small sized steamboat and
in this craft, he carried her down the riv-
er. The deserted husband passed through
this city last evening. and gave the police
a description of both of the clipping par
ties .on the boat, but no such craft had
been seen in these waters and the police
could not render any assistance. The man
left for st, Louis this morning, and will
take the trip up river on some boat, so as
to overtake the fugitives. He viii make
it warm for somebody when he comes
across the couple, that as he is determin-
ed to punish the man who is the cause of

The usual practice in cases of consump

this aggravates the disease by weakening
the vital force of the system. The true and
only way to cure cough, is to tone
and strengthen the respiratory organs, pro-

branes which line the breathing tubes and
envelope the lungs, and it has been proved
