WOMEN PREPARE FOR BATTLE
Propose to Take a Hand in the School
Election,
ACTIVELY ORGANIZING FOR THE FIGHT
All on the side of the Bonds that it
is Proposed TO vote in Aid
of New High
school.
ACTIVELY ORGANIZING FOR THE FIGH

1t will be no fault of the women of Coun-
ell Bluffs If the proposition to issue bonds
for the erection of a new High school
building does not carry at the election next
Monday.
If indications count for anything there
will be more votes cast by women next
Monday than ever before at school cleo
tion in this city. The women one and all
realize the necessity of new building and
are insttuting a veritable campaign of
education" At first the matter was quietly
agitated, but now the women are openly
eectioneering and using every means pos
sble to bring the question before the pub
lie in proper light The women's clubs
have taken it UP and until the last vote is
deposited in the ballot boxes next Monday
they don't intend to let up on 1t.
The enthusiasm with which the women
have gone into the matter has proved in
fectious and on the surface it seems as IL
almost everybody was in favor of the prop
osition. There are of course, as is to be
expected, some who hold a different opinion
and are opposed to the district further in
creasing it's indebtedness at this time, but
they are few Most prominent among the
objectors is said to be Attorney J. j. Stew
art, member of the school board whose
motion at the last meeting of the board
! to issue bonds in the sum of $4,000 car
| ried. Mr.. Sims original proposition was for
100000, but it is now openly charged that
Mr.. Stewart tackled on the extra, $4,000 and
the rider making the old High school build
! ing ward school in the hope that it would
defeat the carrying of the proposition.
! The new High school proposition has been
endorsed by the Council Bluffs Womans
| club, the Ideal club, the Oakland Avenue
Reading club, the Womans club and others
and under the auspices of these clubs a
mass meeting of women has been called
| for tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at st.
Johns English Lutheran church. The call
| Is signed by Mrs. +. C. Smith, president
Of the Council Bluffs Womans club: Mrs.
Thomas Metcalf president of the Ideal club,
and Mrs. II. w. Tilton, president of the
Woman's club. At this meeting number
of local physicians will speak well as
members OF the school board and the ques-
tion will be thoroughly discussed in all its
phases.
In order that the public at large may
have an opportunity of inspecting the pres
ent High school building and learning for
! themselves as to the need Of a new one
invitations have been extended through the
students to the parents and all persons in
terested in the proposition to visit the build
ing this afternoon at 80 o'clock, when the
| High school will be thrown open to them
| At o'clock q mass meeting will be held
in the assembly room. when the matter
of the necessity of a new High school Will
be presented by physicians and several mem
bers of the board.

THE BEE WHEEL CONTESTS
The More that Enter the Contests,
the Easier the Wheels Will
He Won.

Every boy aud girl will want to ride
wheel this spring and The Bee is going to
give you a chance to get one in very
simple way. What is more, it is going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want,
for it knows you all want a certain make,
which is the only make on earth"
Now let us tell you how The Bee is going
TO give the wheels away. We want lot of
new subscribers to The Bee in Council
Bluffs. AS soon as the first 300 orders have
been handed into our office. the first con-
test closes and we will award the wheel to
the one bringing the most orders out of
this 300. Then Contest No. ! closes and Con-
test No 2 opens on the next 800 orders,
Just see how easy this is. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on March l to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total, the winner will
not have TO get very many orders, you see.
You want to start in early and hand in your
orders as soon as possible.
Now about the orders. Each order must
be for an actual new Council Bluffs sub
scriber, Each subscriber must take The Bee
for at least three weeks and pay for it in
order to be counted. 1t is better, but not
necessary, to pay in advance only no order
will be counted until the subscription is
paid for. If the subscription is paid for in
advance it will count one on your score for
each three weeks for which it is prepaid.
For example, If a subscriber pays in ad-
vance for six weeks, it counts two; If he
pays for twelve weeks, it will count four;
if he pays for one year, it will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid in ad-
vance it will count only one on your score
no matter how long he continues to take it.
There, that is plain isn't it? Now see
what you can do, The first contest begins
March /. Sincerely yours,
Omaha daily bee., 1899-03-06

Think If only thirty people start in on
the first Bee wheel contest the average num-
Der of subscribers they have to get will only
be ten. OF course more will start, and If
you are one of them why should you not
get a wheel? You chOOse any make

IN RENWICK'S CAMP.
Fine Showing of Ore In Several
Prospects.
Especial CUrrespondence.)

Robinson, July 24.-.Last evening
Hank NeiIer, Joseph Epwith and Fred
Renwick, three footsore, weary and
dustladen prospectOrs from the Erick-
sen district beyond West Tintic, drift
ed into camp just at shutdown. The
men have been out some weeks on q
grubstake proposition, and report very
gratifying results, besides exhibiting
some specimens of silver-lead ore taken
from four of their claims at various
depths, ranging from twelve to twenty
six feet. Mr.. Epwith, who seemed par
ticularly enthusiastic over the outlook
in the Erickson country assured the
writer with much emphasis that for
surface showings it eclipsed anything
that had ever come under his observa-
ton in the twenty-five years spent
among the crags and peaks. Two spec
linens in particular, taken from the
Snowflake and Pearl claims, are re-
markable for high percentage in lead,
being what is known as cerusSite. No
tests have been made at all on any of
the mineral, and judging from what
Epwith said, the proposition may be
considered a concentrating one, pure
and simple. but susceptible of aston
ishing results. The gentleman said that
the veins traversing the Erickson are
massive, and can easily be traced for
miles. After resting and replenishing
their Harder" the men will return i'm
mediately to their diggings, known as
'Renwick's camp"
