No Proposal from Cunningham.

F. NJ. Cunningham, the tax ferret, has
not as yet submitted any proposition to the
Board of Supervisors for the settlement of
his claims against the county, but It is
understood he will do so soon. Cunningham
was about the courthouse a good deal yes
terday and held a number Of informal con.
ferences with members of the board.
During the time the case brought by
Frank Shinn TO cancel the contract with
Cunningham was pending the latter's at
torneys, Stone & Tinley and Saunders &
Suart brought actions against him in his
absence to make sure of their fees. These
suits were settled by Cunningham and the
lawyers yesterday
In addition to the sum already paid into
the county treasury as a result of the fer
reting, a little over $4,000. there is nearly
that much more that is almost sure to be
paid in. This additional amount is in
volved in appeal cases which have been de-
layed for various reasons, but In which Il
is thought the property owners are almost
sure to lose and have to pay the taxes in
the end.

FEARS OF FEVER EPIDEMIC
water supply Derived from Wells
IL He'd to he
Bad.

At the meeting Of the directors of the
Commercial club last evening DR.. Donald
Macrae, jr., made the prediction that
Council Bluffs would eventually be as
great a sufferer in loss of life from the
recent high water as Topeka, Kan, where
there were so many fatalities from drown
ing. The doctor made this forecast from
his observations in the bottoms, where he
says the surface water has run into the
wells and is sure TO bring on typhoid fever
Dr. Treynor expressed himself as OF the
same opinion and both urged that the
matter is worthy of serious attention.
Many of the people in the western and
southern parts of the city use well water,
and these are the sections OF the city that
have been troubled by the floods. The
doctors suggested that as a preventive
the water be boiled before using. To fur
ther this plan the directors Of the club
expressed the wish that the matter be
agitated through the newspapers and that
the city physician prepare a circular for
distribution among the people, giving
warning and detailing directions for treat
ing the water.
The condition of the streets in general
was discussed and particular attention was
called to the almost impossible condition
OF West Broadway by letter from w. T.
Seaman, who lives in that vicinity. Some
years ago a good many thousand dollars
was spent in laying a strip Of Stag ma
cadam sixteen feet wide on this street
FROM Fourteenth to the river, but the con-
dition of the thoroughfare is now worse,
II anything, as the result of what was
then thought an Improvement
F. ]. Day OF the committee to whom
was referred the matter OF a cold storage
plant reported that the committee had
held a meeting and that the prospect for
the establishment OF such a plant in the
city was good, The committee is at pres
ent looking for a man with experience in
this line. Mr.. Day said a Rockwell City
man had written that II a plant was put
in here he would divert his business OF
twelve cars annually for storage from
Omaha to Council Bluffs.
There was some discussion OF the propo-
sition to get the headquarters OF the west
ern division OF the rural free delivery
service OF the Postof1ce department To-
Gated here but no action was taken.
The question Of the probable abolition
Of the bridge diIerential that now favors
Council BluIs as against Omaha in freight
rates received some attention.
