Now that two suits have been commenced
attacking the validity of the franchise under
which it is building it's line, the Omaha,
Council Bluffs G. Suburban Railway company
Is anxious that the question should be de-
termined at once. One of the officials of the
new company said yesterday: IF our
charter is not good we want to know 1t right
away--the sooner the better. If the courts
shall decide that it is valid, well and good,
and il they should rule to the contrary, then
we will go before the people of Council Bluffs
and ask for a franchise that is sound. Then
If the people of this city want our line they
will certainly vote us the franchise to put
1t in. If the people, however, should decide
they do not want a competing street railway
in their city and turn us down at the polls,
we will quit right then and there and go
elsewhere to spend our money. We our
selves have mo- doubt that the franchise
granted to the Lake Manawa G. East Omaha
Construction company, under which we are
building our line, is still as valid as the
day it was voted on by the people, but if it
Is to be tested, the sooner it goes before the
courts for decision. the better"

Fred Miller, arrested at the instance of
Carolina Javenek of Sioux City, compro-
missed his difficulties with the young woman
yOsterday by marrying her. number of
obstacles, however, had to be overcome be-
fore the ceremony could be performed. In
the first place, neither Miller nor the young
woman had the price of the marriage license,
but Clerk of the Dctrict Court Reed issued
one free OF cost, Then considerable trouble
was met in securing someone to perform the
ceremony. The police hunted all over town
for Justices Ferrier and Wen, but could
not find either of them. Finally Rev. S. NJ.
Perkins of the First Christian church was
prevailed upon to go to police headquarters,
where Miller and Miss Javenek were made
man and wife, As soon as the ceremony
was performed, Chief Albro gave Miller his
freedom.

PHILOSOPHICAL FRENcHMEM.

piest People In the World.
The more nations | make the ac-
quaintance Of, the more deeply con
firmed get in this conviction. that the
Frenchman, with all his faults and
shortcomings, is the happiest man In
the world, says the North American
Review. or course, the wealthy classes
have everywhere found the way of en-
joying life, more or less; but to the
observer of national characteristics
these classes are uninteresting. Good
society is good society everywhere. For
a study, give me the masses OF the
people And 1t is among the masses
in France that, after all. l find the
greatest amount of happiness. The
Frenchman is cheerful philosopher.
He knows best of all how to live and
enjoy life. Moderate in all his hab-
it's, he partakes OF all the good things
that nature has placed at his disposal.
without ever making a fool OF himself.
He understands temperance in the true
acceptation of the word. which means,
not total abstinence. but moderation.
When you say that country has a
temperate climate you do not mean
that 1t has no climate at all; you mean
that 1t has a climate that is neither
too hot nor too cold. We have no
teetotalers. because we practically have
no drunkards. Frenchman would be
az astonished to find that the law pre-
vented him from enjoying glass OF
wine, because few imbeciles use wine
to get drunk with. as he would to find
that the law forbade him to use knives
in his quiet and peaceful home. be-
cause there are a few lunatics who
use knives to commit suicide with or
kill their fellow creatures.
