No BIG DINNERS FOR SUNDAY
People Who Depend on Gas Stoves Must Eat
Gold Lunches for One Day.
CHANGE IN GAS PLANT IS THE CAUSE
All Gas to BE Turned on from Mains
Between 1880 n. m. and $40 in
the Evening and Possibly
Longer.

Citizens OF Council Bluffs who depend on
gas stoves for cooking their meals will
be in a bad way Sunday. The gas company
has notified its patrons that on that day
from the hours Of 1880 in the morning until
$3.50 in the evening all gas will be shut off
from the mains. This is made necessary
by changing the connections from thu old
to the new plant, which is now completed.
The change, however, will not be made I'm
less the weather Is favorable.
Many families in tEis city depend entirely
on the gas stove for culinary purposes and
consequently they will have to do with
cold meals that day and II they want hot
water to make coffee with or for other
purposes they will be compelled to call
upon their neighbors who may be fortunate
enough to have cook stoves. Many families
also depend entirely upon gas for illum-
ination and it is safe to say that there
will be a big demand for lamps and candles
Saturday. But few OF the churches in
this city are lighted by electricity. most
OF them depending on gas, but the gao
company is taking steps to prevent incon>
v~enience to the Sunday evening church
goers by stringing temporary electric wires
to those churches which are. lighted by
gas.
Manager Friedman OF the gas company
said yesterday: This changing of the con-
n~ections is absolutely necessary with the
completion OF our new plant. While we
realize that the shutting of of the gas
will Inconvenience many Of our patrons
we will do the work as rapidly as a large
force of men can do 1t. We selected Sum
day for changing the connections. believing
that on this day the regular business would
be interfered with as little as possible.
II may be that the work of changing the
connections will be completed earlier than
expected and It is also possible that 1t may
take longer. We would like to impress
upon everybody the Importance Of having
all stop cocks turned off In order to pre-
vent accidents when the gas is turned Oh

Anects Local Tn1 Ferret Case.

The recent decision Of the supreme court
in the tax ferret case from Cass county
will, 1t .is believed. have a direct bearing
on the similar suit from Pottawattamie
county. In the case from Cass county the
supreme court held that the contract EN-
tered into by the board of county super
visors with C.. w. Welman on a 90 per cent
basis OF remuneration was perfectly legal
and that the board had full authority ITO
make such a contract and agree TO pay
whatever commission Il deemed advisable
for the ferreting out of property which
had been withheld or omitted from as
sessment.
The contract entered into by the super
visors OF Pottawattamie county with F. NJ,
Cunningham YVES similar TO hat between
the Cass county authorities and Welman,
Cunningham under the contract was to re-
ceive so per cent Of all monies recovered
into the county treasury through his efforts
in unesrthins property which had been
omitted or withheld from assessment. Gun
nlngham's claim against the county now
exceeds $12, 900. but payment was refused
pending the suit brought by Attorney Frank
shinn attacking the legality of the con-
tract.
Now h the supreme court has upheld
the contract entered into by the Cas-
county board OF supervisors, 1t is believed
here that II will make the same ruling II
the suit from this county. Welman. th'
tax ferret who had the contract in Cas-
county. is said TO be a partner Of F. NJ
Cunningham, who secured the contract IL
this county.

WOOD RIVER, Neb., Feb. 12.-(Special

between Martin Diefenderfer of this city
and a stranger by the name of Officer. The
first contest was twenty-five live birds for $50
a side. Diefenderfer killed twenty-three TO
rifle shoot for $50 a side. This contest, like
the first, was easily won by Diefenderfer.
The above contests were the outcome of a
recent live bird shoot between D~iefenderfer

the Wood River man. Shelton, evidently
thinking that Diefenderfer was shooting
with exceptional good luck, brought down
