Council Bluffs. March 1s.-Had not
the city council repassed the Great
Western ordinance over Mayor Jen-
nings' veto last evening by practically
unanimous vote, Alderman Hammer
alone dissenting, Council Bluffs would
this morning have been advised that
the great railroad had decided to To-
cate it's valuable terminals in Omaha.
This city would thus have lost railroad
buildings and Improvements worth
several hundred thousand dollars and
also the residence of at least 200 rail-
road men and their families which
will accompany the Great Western
terminals. All this would have been
sacrificed to Mayor Jennings personal
opinion and to his futile effort to play
wretched political trick in the vain
hope of securing few more votes,
tho 1t would cost the city the perpetual
loss OF the terminals of a big railroad.
Even the members of Mayor Jennings
own party who occupy seats in the
council declined to indorse his veto,
for which he offered no explanation
whatever except his personal opinion.
The entire objection offered by May
or Jennings to the Great Western or
dinance was that it allowed the To-
cation Of storage tracks on the railroad
property to South avenue closer than
he thought desirable. The ordinance
also assures Council Bluffs of the To-
cation of the Great Western division
in this city and the construction of
big terminal yards, but the mayor gave
this no consideration. The whole mat
ter had been discussed at recent
meeting of the council and the ordi-
nance was passed in the exact form
as approved by nearly every resident
of the southern part of the city. The
Great Western representatives had
shown to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned that an early settlement of the
matter was necessary or the railroad
would have to locate it's terminals in
Omaha where suitable land options
were freely offered.

Wanted Notoriety.
Special to Times Republican.


Webster City, March 1s-Silas john
son, young lad but II years of age,
in this city for attempting to wreck a
Northwestern train last night. He is
would-be outlaw of desperate type
and an apt disciple of the Jesse James
school. Instead of spending his days
in school he has hunted, trapped and
tramped in the woods, living an out
door life. Lately he conceived the idea
that 1t would be great sport to wreck
train. He made several bungling at
tempts before the last episode which
landed him in jail.
About $50 o'clock last evening as
heavily loaded freight train about two
miles north of Jewell coming down the
grade approached the bridge crossing
the outlet to the old bed of Lake Caro-
the engineer caught sight of a huge
boulder upon the track short distance
ahead. He succeeded in stopping his
train before running upon it. The
bridge was also impossible. Immense
piling placed between the ties pro-
truded An hour was consumed in re-
moving the distractions. The matter
was reported to this citS and officers
went at once to the place. Suspicion
attached to young Johnson, who when
accused confessed to the crime. The
reading of the yellow novels is respon-
sible for Johnson's crime. He would
have enjoyed seeing the train wrecked
and is elated over the notoriety he
thinks himself to have gained. He has
been bound over to await the action of
the grand jury, which meets on April
II. The penalty for his offense is ex-
tremely severe ranging from two years
to life sentence in the penitentiary at
the discretion of the judge.

ease in this community was Henry
Crumrine, who died at his home in

tered at midnight. He leaves a fam
lily of wife and five children.
He carried policy in the Modern
Woodmen lodge. which was declared
void because in health he had refused
to be vaccinated. One of the questions
to be answered was in regard to vac
cination, and the policy provided that
in case the holder was not vaccinated
and died of smallpox, the order was
not liable for the face of the policy.

SENATORIAL RE-DlsTRlcTINe.
Some Interesting Statistics Showing
the Present Inequalities.

the Present Inequalities.
Des Moines, March 1S.-The move
ment for senatorial re-districting OF
the state has reached the stage of adj
vanced statistics 1t is a large ques-
ton whether any bill can be passed at
this session, but the effort will be made.
Senator Hubbard, chairman OF the
committee in charge of the matter. has
made some interesting calculations de-
signed to show the inequalities of the
present apportionment. Thus he shows
that the average population of eight
senatorial districts in the northwest
part of the state is $500. under the
1900 census, and that this is the most
rapidly growing part of the state. The
average population of eleven districts
In the southwestern part of the state
Is 42154. In this group is Polk with
$4,000. which brings the average for the
twelve southwestern districts up to 49,
527.
In the northeast part of the state
43.204. The southeast part has nine
teen districts with an average of 1885
population.
Inc lneQuallQeS appear SUN more
strong when those large single county
districts, which can not possibly be
changed, are deducted in making up
the average. Thus the average for the
entire state is about $4,000. But the
counties of Scott, with 51.52S; Linn,
with $500 Woodbury.. with 54,610:
Polk with s2,e24; Dubuque. with Sc, 403,
and Pottawattamie, with 1896. being
deducted from the rest of the state.
leave the average for all the rest only
a little over $4,000 The smallest dis
tricts are Clayton, with only 27.7S0;
Jackson, with 23,515, and Jasper, with
26.976 Thus Pok is larger than the
three smallest districts combined, and
either one of the four next below Polk
is larger than two of the three small
