RivcrvieNv Park Exposition site Adj
vnntagcs Explained TO Committee.
A delegation of Omaha and South Omaha
citizens came over to Council Bluffs last
night to do a little missionary work in
the interest of a site for the Transmissls-
sippi Exposition. The delegation comprised
Il. ]. Cornish, Dr. Hanchett, John Butler,
Ernest STUNT, Lee zeller, Anton Kment.
Frank j. Kaspar, Louis Schroeder, John
Powers, T. II Ensor, Charles Elgutter, NJ.
III. Redfold, Il. X. Darling. Judge Gordon,
b. c. Lane, DR.. Glasgow, David Cole, John
johnson, Sam Scott, John Breen, Arthur
lnllife and Dick O'Keefe.
The gentlemen were representatives of
the South Side Improvement club and citi-
zens of South Omaha who are pulling for
Rivcrview park as the site for the location
Of the big SHOW. They were met at the
city hall by Mayor Carson, City Attorney
Hazleton and other members of the COM
nittee of thirty-fve which has the Trans
mississippi Exposition interests in Council
Bluffs in charge. After an informal greet
ms, Mr.. Hazleton was chosen chairman of
the meeting, and then the visitors started
their talk in an effort to enlist the sym
pathies of Council Bluffs citizens in the
Rivervtew park site.
DR.. Hanchett was the first speaker. He
spoke of the progress of the work of raising
funds for the exposition, and said that was
the first aim and purpose before all the
people. There was no fight as to the loca-
NaSahH ahN NAaE ShANN' ~ $500 -
which locality could raise the largest
amount in subscriptions of exposition stock.
The friends of the Riverview park location
were anxious that the merits OF the loca-
ton should be known. and that was the
excuse the committee had for visiting Coun-
ell Bluffs at this time. He produced q map
showing the location of the different sites
proposed, and explained the advantages
which the Riverview park site offered. He
referred to the street railway and railroad
facilities for reaching the site, pictured the
natural beauties of the park, and urged
the Council Bluffs subscribers to the eX-
position stock to keep the site in mind
when it came to the question of voting for
the directors who would select the site.
e. J. Cornish followed DR.. Hanchett and
spoke of the advantages of the Riverview
site to Council Bluffs people. 1t could be
reached, he said, quite as easily as the
East Omaha site. Council Bluffs would be
Riverview park grounds, and thu buildings
was desirable, too, that permanent build
ings, such as would be erected on the
grounds, should be on property owned by
the public, and that was one of the chief
objections to tie proposed site at East
Omaha. The utilization of the river for
excursion and pleasure boats would be one
of the features that would be possible at
the Riverview park site, and at none of
the other locations proposed. This would
be very advantageous to Council Bluffs, and
would make Manawa popular with the Wis
itors to the exposition.
Addresses along similar lines were made
by John Breen of South Omaha and other
members Of the delegation.

Strengthening Property

County Auditor Matthews and County Sur
veyor Cook have returned from Oakland,
where they spent several days in getting
some property in shape for record on the
county's books. A large tract of land Just
east of Oakland has been sold and trans
ferred during the last few years, and the
record, so far as the county is concerned,
has not been made very clear. Under the
system employed the land is plated into lots
and recorded on the auditors books with the
names of the owners. Most of the property
of the county is now in excellent shape on
the auditors record.

acknowledge the great benefits derived
from the course and to Impress upon all
the faithful, skillful and highly successful
character of the treatment. When I

gan the treatment | had been ailing for
years with q very serious malady of the
stomach and bowels, caused by chronic ca
tarrh of the head, nose and throat. l had
seemed hopelessly broken. The sore, in
famed and feeble condition of the stomach

To Secure II Straw Board Factory.
RED OAK, Ia, Aug. 1.-(Special)-There
Is considerable excitement over the PROPOSE
ton OF a firm of strawboard manufacturers
10 WISH mere with a view to locating at this
point. On or two neighboring cities are
candidates for the enterprise, but 1t is
probable Red Oak will offer more fattering
Inducements than any Of the contestants.
1t is understood they win expect a bonus
of six acres of land and $15, 900 cash. They
guarantee, however, to patronize the city
water system to the extent of 1000, 900 or
more gallons per day. to employ 40 per-
manent workmen, to use thousands of tons
of straw per annum a product for which
farmers here have never had any market,
and otherwise enhance the industrial status
of the community. The Sun of yesterday
surprised its readers by throwing a damper
over the spirits of the people in relation TO
the matter by stating that the bonus asked
was eXorbitant and that in addition to PROV
ing an overdraft on the water system, the
drainage from the mills would be of such a
poisonous character as to exterminate the
fish in the stream into which it would flow.

Illness of the witnesses made necessary a
continuance for ten days. In the meantime
Heffner is permitted to go practically upon

has been a county charge for the last ten
years. When he skipped early last May

But there are those deprived of q
