MANAwA's WATER srrrLY.
Ebb and Flow Of the Mosquito Creek
CnSc.

Ebb nnd Flow of the Mosquito Creek
CuSc.
The dam case at Manawa had an inning
before Judge Smith yesterday. Numerous
witnesses were examined as TO whether the
court should make permanent an injunction
protecting the dam by which Mosquito creek
is turned into the lake. There are two sources
Of water supply, one by the rise of the river
backing the water, the other by the inflow
Uf the creek. The river didn't do its duty
this year, and so the creek became doubly
valuable to those who want to get any pleas
ure or revenue out of that resort. The trus-
tees Of Lewis township. having been appealed
to by some Of the resident farmers in that
vicinity, were persuaded that 1t was their
duty to have the dam torn out, and the creek
sent on its course direct to the river, giving
the lake the go-by. This procedure was
urged by parties claiming that the damming
Of the creek caused an overflow of land which
they think ought to be worth 500 an acre,
If 1t were only less moist. They assert, too,
that a green scum has settled on the surface
Of the creek, and that death and taxes are
on the increase thereby.
Witnesses on the other hand cheerfully
testified that the creek was a health-giving
stream in its present condition., and that the
green scum complained of was simply floating
pollen and other bits Of plant life which had
been washed into the stream from the
DlnkS, ana tndt III was no more Oh u BeleTd-
tor Of shakes than any grass. Doctors were
introduced to tell the court that the creek
was not only in a healthy condition, but that
1t was the life-giving power which kept Lake
Manawa from becoming s%tagnant, and the de-
caying vegetation of low water from impreg-
mating the whole county with the ague. Other
testimony was introduced to show that there
was no overflow to land, and consequently
no damage, and further, that IL the lake we're
deprived of this needed source of water a
great industry would be practically de-
stroyed.
An effort was made yesterday to introduce
some testimony to show that some of those
Interested in the lake had been approached
by parties who expressed a willingness to
forego all claims about damages, annoying
mosquitoes and unhealthy scum, If they could
get a few dollars on the side. A like effort
was made to get in some evidence that
threats had been uttered, when honeyed words
had failed, but Judge Smith ruled all this
sort of chatter out, and kept the litigants
down to the lines.
The Board of Trustees of the township has
decided that the dam is a nuisance and will
proceed to take IL out unless restrained by
an injunction, and the attempt of the boating
club to thus restrain it is the matter a.

The Great Petitioner I'm BOoes Speaks
at the Driving Park.
The driving park is a great big enclosure,
and 100, 900 people could be easily accommo-
dated within its gates, but there were barely
$50 at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, an hour and
a half later than the time General Coxey was
advertised to speak. In the crowd were a
number of women, and Elihu Meyers, and Mr..
Breesee, and A. NJ. Hutchinson. Times have
changed, and people who were willing 10
contribute thousands of dollars to General
Kelly were not ready to give a dime to see
and hear General Coxey, the only man who
could be reasonably expected to be able Ia
explain the great and strange movement he
inaugurated. But General Coxey had some
thing to say and he was willing to say it.
He arrived in the city from the west at noon
accompanied by his wife, a sweet-faced and
refined little woman, and was taken direct
to the Grand hotel by the committee which had
the meeting in charge. After dinner a car
riage conveyed himself and party to the
grand stand in the park, and after waiting
for the increase in audience for a reasonable
length Of time, General CoXey took his seal
on the speakers stand. He was accompanied
and introduced by General Kelsey Of
Omaha, the man who led a contingent of tht
industrial army. Mr.. Coxey's reception was
most earnest and cordial and convinced hin
that all there were his friends. He jumped
into the subject matter of his speech without
any unnecessary preliminaries.
His speech occupied nearly two hours
Toward its close he frankly avowed the OBJ
ject of his present tour through the country
1t was to make votes.
