NO MEETING.
Council Had No Quorum Present ana
No Business Was Done

The special meeting of the city
council came to naught last evening.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of assessing the South Seventh
street paving. 1t is understood that
there is opposition to the council in
their intentions and a number of
legal gentlemen were present to tell
the council a thing or two. The
meeting promised to be a lively one
and good sized audience was in the.
chairs to see the sport.
Mayor Wray waited upon the alb
sent members until almost nine o.
clock when he called for order and
in the face of the fact that there
were but six of the ten members
of the council present he decided to
adjourn and the council voted to adj
iourn to Tuesday, December 8, when
the matter will again be brought up
for hearing.
The mayor asked for leave of alb
sence of three days duration during
which time he will visit at the home
of his sister in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The council in the fullness of its.
generous spirit granted the gentle
man five days, and the meeting was
over for the evening.

Mr. and Mrs, AHender Celebrate Fifty
Years of Married Life.

A small company of old settlers and
friends of Nicholas Allender and wife
assembled at their hospitable home on
Friday last, on the fiftieth anniversary
of their wedding day, which occurred
just fifty years before in Henry coun-
ty, this state. Nicholas Allender and
Martha l. Thomas were married Nov
%, 1851, and the following spring they
moved to Fremont, where they nave
since resided, either in town or on the
farm, two miles south of town. Ten
children came to bless the home of
this we'll known and highly respected
couple, nine of whom are living, but
several of whom were unavoidably alb
sent on this occasion. Several useful
and valuable presents were left with
these excellent people as reminders of
the day, among them a gold headed
cane, gold thimble, a five-dollar gold
piece and a fine rocking chair. The
following has been written commemo-
rative of the happy couple and the
friends present:
Mr.. AND Mrs. ALLENDER-
Dear FriendS:-On behalf OF your
many friends present on this occasion,
we congratulate you on the fiftieth an
niversary OF your wedding day. Com
paratively speaking, this honor falls
to the happy estate of but few fathers
and mothers. Fifty years! \ half
century of welded bliss, and low, all!
so soon, has dawned your golden we'd
ding day. For fifty years residents of
our town and township. How few
there among either the living or the
sleeping in yon silent white city,
who could thus acclaim. Fifty years
of joys and sorrows; of re-uniting and
separation; of communion with kind
and loving friends here, and Of loved
ones who have "joined the choir invis.
ible" "over there" What a half GEN.
fury of progress and advancement has
been yours to witness, and yet, like a
swift-winged arrow in it's fight" or
like a tale that is told" the years
have flown; and with their passing
how many, yes, great multitude" of
children and children's children and
dear friends of other days have joined
that great company, to be reunited in
the coming years. How thankful ole
and all in your midst feel for the priv
ilege of joining your family circle to-
day, made doubly so because of tile
steadfast friendships through sll these
years, for we well remember when the
touch Of young manhod and young
womanhood was upon your brow
friendships becoming dearer, too, with
the flight of years; aye, dearer to US
all, cen though the frosts of many
winters now adorn thy heads and soon
to whiten each of us for the approach
ing harvest home" AS a slight token
of our sincere and abiding friendship,
allow us to present these emblems,
symbolical of your fiftieth. milestone
of welded bliss, and may it be your
good fortune, under Providence, to be
spared yet many more years to your
children, relatives and friends, and to
this company, also, to long remember
this pleasant occasion.

REVIVE NAVIGATION.
Scheme to Run Boats Again on
Des Moines River.

Ottumwa, Nov. ga movement
has been started to construct sys-
tenn OF canals, using the Des Moines
river for the purpose, from Keokuk
to Des Moines. The plan is to ask
an appropriation from congress for
the purpose. John s. Emery, of Des
Moines, is pushing the scheme, and
called on business men here today to
enlist their aid in the matter. Ar
rangements are being completed to
get an appropriation from the Iowa
legislature for a preliminary survey.
1t is proposed to transport as far as
Des Moines, using barges and having
them handled by tugs, in order
that the scheme would not be obiec-
tionable on account of the many
bridges between the two cities. II
successful, it will open the corn and
coal markets of Iowa to the world
and enable Iowa wholesalers to ship

SLUGGER PHILLIPS.
Recent Candidate for Governor
Attacks R. 81. Moore.

Ottumwa, Nov. 28. Because he
publised the name of Thomas J. Phil
lips, ex. candidate for governor on
the democratic ticket, in his non
partisan weekly society paper, the
Saturday Herald, after having been
warned not to do it, r. II. Moore, an
ol6-tims democratic editor, was this
afternoon attacked by Phillips on
Market street and after listening to
berating, was kicked. No arrests
were made. Moore maintained silence
as to Phillips during the recent CAM
paign, but after it was over he class
ed Phillips with Cato Sells and others
as probable nominees for senator.
Phillips is said to have taken Of
Tense, and written letter to Moore,
cancelling his subscription to the
Herald and forbidding the use of his
name in the paper. Moore repro
duced the letter in his next issue with
an article about it. He again printed
Phillips name last Saturday and
Phillips to-day accosted the editor on
the street and told him verbally not
to publish his name as he bad written,
and when Moore didn't listen kicked
him. Moore didn't retaliate and went
on to his office. Phillips, in an inter-
view later, said he had befriended
Moore often when the latter wished
bills allowed by the city council dur
ing Phillips two terms as mayor. He
also appointed Moore on the Carnegie
library board against the wishes of
the council and he saw no reason why
Moore should have treated him as he
did. He threatened that If Moore
ever published his name again to whip
him soundly.
