MAKE A PLEA FOR RELIEF
Many Delegations from Gut OFF Wait Upon
Mayor Jennings
WANTS OF THE RESIDENTS ARE DETAILED
Ask that the water ne Drained on
Their Lands and that They lie
Given Better FIRE Pro-
lection.
WANTS OF THE RESIDENTS ARE DETAILED

Mayor Jennings is almost daily receiving
delegations from the residents OF Cut on
who are crying for relief The'recent over
flow OF the Missouri has completely flooded
the bottom lands In Cut or known to the
city as the Second precinct Of the Sixth
ward Of Council Bluffs, although the river
intervenes
The people of Cut OFF want the mayor to
give them some relief from the stagnant
pools of water left standing since the river
receded. They want the city to dig bitches
and drain the water of the lands. This
they say they would be willing to do them
selves. but for the fact that the streets in
their pennsular home are owned by the East
Omaha Land company, which has refused to
permit them to dig drains or bitches across
the thoroughfares. The various delegations
were informed by the mayor that he did not
see how the city can furnish them any re-
lief in the matter as its finances at present
are tied up by litigation and there is no
money available for carrying out such work.
Since the recent fire caused by dog over
/ turning lamp when four houses were con-
/ sumed, the residents Of Cut OFF feel that
they are entitled to fire protection, seeing
that they pay their proportion OF the city
taxes. They have asked the city to place
/ two hydrants in the most populous portions
of the peninsula, but again Mayor Jen-
nings is compelled to inform them that the
! funds OF the city will not allow any such
I undertaking.
! All the people Of Cut Off ask Is that two
hydrants be placed there, as they have as
surance that the Omaha Water Works com
pany will furnish the water and the fire de.
partment OF Omaha the fire protection.
Further, the residents of the Second pre-.
cinct OF the Sixth ward ask that they be
furnished with police protection. They say
that men and boys resort to Cut OF for the
purpose of shooting wild ducks and Other
game, both in and out of season. The visit
ing sportsmen, they say, are too promiscu
Gus in the use of their firearms an in conse
quence the dwellers there are in constant
fear owing to the flying of bullets. With re-
gard to this last request Mayor Jennings has
informed the various delegations that he viii
consider the matter of placing a special Off
Ger for duty in their district. Up till tht
advent of the democratic administration
policeman was always kept at Cut OFF.
The members of the various delegations
are particular in urging upon the mayo
that the reports published in some of th
papers that they wish to have the ties tina
; bind them to the city of Council Bluffs AM
the state of Iowa severed are without foun
dation. All they want is some of the bene
fits which as taxpayers of the city they be
lieve they are entitled to.

CATTLE-Our yards are again full OF
common and off colored cattle, and, as
result trading has been slow during the
past two days. Shippers are making
mistake in sending in their common stock
at this time as it is practically unsalabie.
Buyers do not seem to want it at any
price The bulk of the cattle in nave
been natives We have had but few
Westerns and the quality has not been
of the best. The bulk of the butcher
stuff has been cows and heifers that have
sold from Sc. 40 to $3.50. The fat steers
have been very common and have sold
low. Western stock steers have been SELL
ing from $500 to $425 for the good to
best The few good feeders in sold at
S4.S5 to $3.50. The bulk of the native
butcher stuff has also been COWS and the
larger part were common and thin, some
mediums and a few good animals. The
common and medium cows have been
selling at a cd price and the best cows
have also sold fairly we'll, but with no
ouotable change from last week. The ma
five butcher steers have been very com
mon and rough and have sold low. AT
the opening OF the week stock he1fefs,
stock calves and yearlings were In good
demand and sold a little stronger, fully
as high as the best prices last week.
