TO USE coUNCIL BLUFFS BRICK
Selection of Paving Material Gives
Considerable Satisfaction.

Selection of Paving Material Gives
COnsidc rnbIc Satisfaction.
That Council Bluffs brick has been Sc
lected as the material for all of the streets
ordered paved with the exception of one is
source Of much qualification to the people
of the city generally, as 1t means the ex-
penditure right at home OF some O.0OO, a
large portion of which would have gone
abroad for material had Des Moines or other
brick been chosen by the interested prop
erty owners 1t will mean that large
number Of men will be able to find employ
ment at the local brickyards, as evidenced
by the fact that early yesterday morning, or
within twelve hours after they had been
awarded the contract, Wickham Bros had
notices posted about the city calling for fifty
extra men.
Today Wickham Bros. will commence
work on the curbing on Avenue between
Oakland avenue and North Second street
This is the street on which the property
owners selected Des Moines brick for the
top course Of the paving and E. A. Wick
ham stated yesterday that this would be
the first street paved. The first of the streets
ordered paved with Council Bluffs brick tor
and bottom courses on which work will be
commenced, will be Willow avenue from
Main to Bluff street. Wickham Bros. say they
expect to put large force Of mon to work
and as long as the homemade brick holds
out and the weather Is favorable they will
push the paving along as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit so as to get as much OF
II completed as possible before snow flies.
Wickham Bros. have already arranged I,
expand their brick plant and will at once put
in down-draft kilns for the purpose of max
ing vitrified paving brick. Other loca
brick manufacturers are also figuring on in
creaSing the capacity OF their plants. There
is considerable quantity OF brick on hand
that will be suitable for the bottom course
OF the paving, but 1t will take some time
before a sufficient supply of the vitrlfied ar
ticle can be manufactured and for th!;
reason it seems almost certain that large
portion of the paving will have Of necessity
to be postponed until next spring or sum

living: they heard OF the arrangement and
resolved to put stop 10 1t by having
a guardian appointed for their mother. This

had been secured in anticipation of the con-
sent and the preacher was called and the
knot hastily tied. The couple will make

considerable property.

DES MONIES. Oct. Especial. )--Direc-
tor Sage of the Iowa weather and crop serv-
ice said: 81 think the corn crop will be
more than so per cent of an average yield
A short time ago the prospects were good
for phenomenal yield and all Iowa was
happy. Then conditions were materially
changed, but the change was not sufficient
to warrant the statement there will be more
than 20 per cent loss on the crop. Where
the promise of phenomenal crops is sud
denly blighted people are too apt to make
the comparison with what they had ex-
pected, rather than with conditions in pre-
vious years, and my observation is they
have done so this year. l believe the corn
crop will average over thirty bushels tc
every acre planted and that would mean
a good deal more than 80 par cent of crop.

Not Alone State Issues.

National issues are paramount this year.
1t is no more possible to conduct a state
election now without regard to national is
sues than it was possible so to conduct one
In 1861 or 1853. AS 1t then was so it now
is the interests of the nation as whole
which is of vital and absorbing interest to
each citizen. Then. as now, the republican
party was forced to meet new issues, to
confront new problems Then, as now, IT
was forced not to follow. but to make prece-
dents. In 1851 we had to preserve the re-
public for its great destiny. In 1898 we have
to take a long stride toward the accom-
plishment of that destiny. The republican
party, therefore. in its state platform, does
well to reiterate the promises under which
1t was possible to elect a republican presi-
dent, pledges which made 1t possible to re-
store prosperity to our country and to put
the nation where 1t is possible to work out
the glorious future, which Is now before
reunited nation.
The issues for honest money for protec-
tion to American industry, for the upbuild-
ing of a merchant marine, adequate to carry
the commerce of the world and TO form
naval militia in times Of war, are as vital
this year as they were in the great contest
which was so successfully fought in 1896
We must further strengthen cur navy ana
build up our army, so that they may pe
equal to any demand made upon them, as
we work out our destiny. Hawaii and Porto
Rico are ours. and in, the East and west
Indies the interests of the nation shall be
safeguarded.
Nor is it alone on national issues that the
republican party has its duties to perform
The record made by the republican ad-
ministration OF the state of New York is a
guarantee that upon all questions affecting
the property rights and interests and liberty
OF all citizens the republican party can be
safely trusted, as we pledge ourselves to up
hold the national honor abroad; we pledge
ourselves to enforce strict honesty at home
The National Guard must be raised to and
kent at the highest standard OF efficiency.

ism and we are bound to see that soldiers
so brave and so willing are properly armed
