Mr.. Brown had interviewed President

road on his recent visit to Council Bluffs

been received that morning from President
Colt, in which he stated full and mature
consideration would be given the petitions

nue.. In his letter President Colt stated
that the policy OF his road was to endeavor
to have the friendliest relations with the
citizens OF those towns through which the
line ran and that 1t had no dssire In the
slightest to be in any way sntagonistic to
their interests.
A suggestion that the Great Western be

ing to the large sum of money expended by

Mayor Jennings Is much exercised over
the fact that a number OF the city coun-
oilmen have attached their signatures to
a petition now being circulated indorsing
the bill introduced by Senator Willard,
which amends the original bill granting
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway
company the right to construct a bridge
across the Missouri so as to exclude teams
and pedestrians. This petition, which
when signed. is to be sent to Congressman
Smith. asking him to indorse the passage
OF the bill, Is being circulated by Presi-
dent Hart Of the First National bank in
the interest Of the Illinois Central rail-
road. which has obtained control Of the
bridge.
The Terminal company's bridge is prac-
tically the only communication between
this city and Cut-Off. a portion of which
is in the Incorporated limits Of Council
Bluffs. In the event Of the Terminal COM
pany's being permitted to reconstruct the
bridge SO as to exclude passenger and team
trafic. there would be no access to that
portion OF the city except by way Of Omaha
Mayor Jennings is Of the opinion that the
rights heretofore enjoyed over tlSs bridge

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
iced for taking ducks on line, which
u attached at one end to a flexible stick
stuck up In the mud, the other extrem-
lty having double pointed needle Of
bone attached to it. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon 1t some grains Of
corn. Presently along comes Mr. Duck,
swallows the needle and finds himself
Z captive the moment he tries to fly
away. In olden times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
on the seafow they took on their voy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
fishing lines with hooks on the end, to
which were attached chunks of cod
liver. The latter fioated because Of the
oil they contained, and INJURIES, gulls
and other birds swallowing them were
quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped
up.
