HOSTILE TO MUNICIPAL PLANT
Public Not in Sympathy with Proposed
Electric Lighting Scheme,
BUSINESS MEN WILL ENTER PROTEST
Many Think There IL Nothing to II G
Gained with n Good Chance of
the City BeinE n Los
ing Party.

The scheme OF establishing a so-called mu-
nicipal electric light plant in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, as proposed to the coun-
Gil by E. l.. Draffen, president
of the Municipal Construction company
Of Chicago. is not looked upon with favor
by the business men and citizens generally
and when the matter comes up for final &C
ton by the city council 1t is understood
that a committee from the business men will
enter a protest. BY those who have given
the proposition consideration 1t is regarded
as one in which the city has everything to
lose with a very slight possibility Of gain
ing anything. This conclusion is drawn from
the fact that the city in order to secure
possession Of the plant will be compelled
to earn sufficient from the commercial light
ing to pay the entire operating expenses,
which, according to Draffen's figures, will
amount to at least $751; 600 per annum. Those
in a position to know say this amount can
not be earned, as the number of business
and private houses using electric lights is
decidedly limited. Nothing Is known here
about the concern as to its standing or
responsibility and even Mayor Jennings and
other city officials have been unable to learn
anything about the company.
The Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation has Investigated the plan proposed
by President Draffen and Is seriously OPP
posed to the city embarking upon any such
undertaking.

SENDS In HIS RESIGNATION
Charles T. Hancock, Chairman of Iowa Re-
publican Central Committee, Quits.
HIS WITHDRAWAL PURELY VOLUNTARY
Reasonably Certain that II. G. Weaver
of wapeIIo VIII BE Elected to
FIJI the Vacancy when
Meets.
HIS WITHDRAWAL

DIES MONIES, Aug. 19.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The Register will make an author
lied announcement in the morning OF the
resignation of Hon. Charles T. Hancock of
Dubuque as chairman of the republican
| state central committee. Despite the talk of
a few of his enemies, the resignation is
purely voluntary. He has vast business in
terests and he feels that he cannot afford
to longer neglect them, and then his wife Is
set against his again taking the chairman
! ship. Mr.. Hancock managed the campaign
last year with no small expense to himself,
and he feels that someone else should now
step to the front and center and report for
duty.
The state central committee will meet the
last OF the week to select a chairman to
| succeed Mr.. Hancock and it Is said to be
reasonably certain that Hon. II. o. Weaver
of Wapello, the representative from Louisa
county, will be chosen. When the state
central committee met after the state con-
|vention here without ~electing a new chair
man the wiseheads thought something was
in the air and the resignation will be no
great surprise.
The national encampment OF the Union
Veterans Union will open in this city Mon
day. A large number of veterans have al
ready arrived, and the committee ia charge
expects an attendance Of at least 1000. Gen
eral Langstaff, the department commander,
will arrive from Dubuque early Monday
morning.

pany was organized here today with John

pany intends to contract during the next

ropuLrsTs WILL ABJUnn FUSION.
Party Will Cling to Reform without
Any Unworthy Accomplishments.

Party VIII Cling to Reform without
Any Unworthy Accomplishments.
A. NJ. Hutchinson, chairman of the popu-
list county central committee, says the ma
jority of the peoples party in Pottawat-
tamie county is strongly opposed to fusion
in any shape, manner or form. and that 1t
repudiates the action of the so-called popu-
list convention presided over by Weaver
at Des Moines last Wednesday. The anti
fusionists or middle-o of thu -road populists
will hold their state convention at Des
Moines Wednesday,, August 80, when Mr..
Hutchinson says a party ticket will be
named and it will not be a democratic
one either. In the call issued by A. w. G.
Weeks of Winterset, chairman of the popu-
list state central committee, he says:
1.-THE dark cloud of fusion that has al
most obscured the Tight Of the peoples
party seems to be drifting away, revealing
to the anxious eyes of the reformers the
real situation and uncovering to the vision
of others the hideous results of political
miscegenation, and there is now cleaning
in the heavens the radiant star of hope.
Let true populists once more grid on their
armor and rally around our STANDARD IN
dismayed and resolve to make one more
effort to start the party again toward the
proud and influential position 1t occupied
before it was seduced from the straight
and narrow path Of political virtue. There
is real assurance that we are now about
to become what we ought to be, the hope
of the reform sentiment. So-called silver
republicanism has thrown off it's mask and
acknowledges its democracy. The fusion
populists now rely solely on the Integrity
Of their allies There lis no one else to
uphold the banner OF populism. Let us
not fail in our duty"
The county convention Of the middle-of-
the-road populists of Pottawattamie county
to elect delegates to the state convention
at Des Moines will be held Saturday Of
next week DIN this city.

Mrs. Sophia Woldman, who has been q
familiar character in the justice courts for
a year or more past, owing to her continual
squabbles with her neighbors, was brough:
before the insanity commissioners yesterday
afternoon on an information filed by r. A.
Hcugh, charging her with being insane. Mrs.
Wo,dman kept the neighbornood Of Thirty
fourth street and Avenue B in a turmoil for
over a year and has filed charges In
the justice courts from time to tim against
almost everyone of the people living neal
her on some charge or another. A case
against Hough, whom she charged with
threatening TO do her bodily injury, is now
pending before Justice Wen.
The investigation developed the fact that
while Mrs. Woldman was possessed OF an
ungovernable temper, there was nothing to
show that she was not Of sound mind and
the commissioners, after reading her the
riot act, ordered her discharge.
In retaliation for her arrest Mrs. Woldman
brought suit in the district court against
Hough for 81, 900 for defamation of charac-
ter. She alleges that last Monday Hough, in
the presence of other persons, used false
and slanderous language. implying that she
was = thief.

FORT DODGE, Ia, Aug. 19.-(Special Tel
egram.)-Out of the 125 negro laborers which
the Illinois Central imported a few days ago
from Crystal Springs. Miss. fifty went to
work this morning on the new line of the
Fort Dodge & Omaha. The surfacing gang,
which has been at work at Tara, was trans
ferred yesterday to Rockwell City. This

with the expectation that the negroes would
go to work If the white laborers were taken
away. This morning fifty men started to
work at the original price agreed upon, $1.25
per day, and the remainder of the lot are
stin holding out for s1.75 and 81, which
was paid the white men. The contractors,
who were behind with their work, have had
their time extended to allow them TO finish.
