The Bridge.

A meeting of the jefferson City
Bridge and Transit company was
held at the Commercial club rooms
on Monday morning at 10 O'clock.
The boa:d Of directors of The Bridge

Henry j. Dutie, W. W. Wagner, A.
p. Grimshaw, j. w. Henry, Hugo
MonniE, X. DaIlmeyer, Henry W.
Ewing, Joseph +. portn, Henry
priesmeycr aud j. {. Fisher.
The first movement for The pur-
pose of securing the bridge at Jeffer.
son City took place one year ago
last April. GA the 20Lh day of June,
1898, the soliciting committee com
rnvnced lis work Of securing a bonus
FUND. About six weeks thereafter
the sum Of about sis, 900 had been
subscribed. In December following
the proposition of an eastern com.
paUy was submitted to Luild a low
bridge ut the west end for q bonus
Of $4,000. AT that time the idea
was circulated that the bridge could
be built for n very small sum OF
money and that a home company
ought to he organized for tue pur-
pose Uf'buildlng it. Later Il com
pany vas organized and S., 600 sub.
scrlbcd for the purpose of making
souudiDgs, employing an engineer
and ascertuining the costs Of the
bridge. The estimates Of the engin.
eer fixed the cost Of tile Madison
street structure ut about 5000, 0O0.
A charter was applied for, which
was passed by congress about the
middle IF June. Shortly after its
passage, the directors directed the
engineer TO make complete plans and
secure the very best proposition he
could get for the construction If the
bridge, We company building the
same 10 take part cash and part
bonds.
On Monday of this week fou,
propositions We're received. One
from New York; one from Chicago
one from st. Louis and one from
Leayenworth. Owing to the fac
that the company making the loves
bid was asked to make certain modi
factions in its bid, the board nd
journed in order to give them an OPP
portnnity to do SO, when the figure
will be given to the press.
Ii this contract is awarded to th'
lowest bidder, it will DO upon til
theory that the home company build
this structure, and the people will
have an opportunity to show wba
they + made of.
At the meeting on Wednesday

Company for $3.50 0 cash and $50,

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

While the adjournment of con.
gress has given encouragement to
the people to business, the
great good that has been anticipated
cannot follow so quickly. The par.
Aviation of business when once
taken place is very difficult TO over
come. 1t is very much like an indi.
yidual business house that has had a
career of prosperity and then a
downfall. 1t is almost impossible
to regain that prestige, prominence
and success that it once enjoyed :.
1t will take a great deal of work,
energy and hopefulRess to overcome
the bad effects Of the wreck caused
by the failure. So it is with this
country. The damage caused by
the action of congress and the fear
of domestic acknowledgement has had
such q demorailzIng effect that II will
take several years before good times
can relurn-:vcn with the most ia.
vorable conditions. II pc for better
days will help some and the adjourn,
ment of congress will also aid, but
the election Of Il Republican con.
gress this fall will do more to re.es.
tablish the confidence of the people
and settle the present unrest than
anything else that can be done. If
the people understand their business
they will SEQ HAT an overwhelming
Republican congress is returned in
November.
