Offset by the larger number of the
outer wires. In practice the two
opposite untwisting actions almost
perfectly balance each other. One OF

Penguin eggs are a novelty in the
London dietary. These eggs are col
lected on islands off the west coast OF
Cape Colony, where the birds breed
IN vast nun bers, and are shipped to
England in cold storage, being about
three weeks on the way. In South
Africa the eggs are eaten for break
fast, after being cooked at least
twenty minutes, and seasoned with
pepper, butter aud salt. The white
has no partionlar havor, but slight
tishiness detected by some in the
yolk mas suggested that the best use
would be for egg sauce or prepared
in a mayonnaise.

No FIRE HOUSE IN STREET

ties Reach an Agreement.
LOCATED ON A VACANT LOT
Contract Awarded for Moving IL and
Sale of Building to Julius
Jensen is Ratified by the
City Council

As a result of a conference held yesterday
afternoon between the members of the city
council and representatives of the CONNER
cial club, the National horticultural con-
gress and the Auditorium company. the fire
station at the foot of Bryant street will not
be moved tut into the street intersection in
front of the main entrance of the audi
forum while the new fire house is being
constructed. A plan for disposing of the
old engine house was agreed upon which
is satisfactory to all the interests involved.
1t was decided to move the building di-
rectly across Main street to the lot formerly
occupied as a wood and coal yard and more
recently by the Nevada Motor company.
This location will afford the fire depart
! ment convenient means of getting out and
into the building and will remove it entirely
from the street and away from the audi
forum. The cost of moving the building
across Main street will be but little more
than that of moving II twenty-five feet
from it's present site into the street inter
section,
Following the conference the city council
at the suggestion of Mayor Maloney, held
a special meeting and took formal action
In the matter, directing that the fire house
be moved across Main street and a contract
with Hollenbeck Brothers for moving 1t wal
approved. The city will bear the expense
of moving the building, which has been sold
to Julius Jensen for S2T under his bid filed
last Monday. Jensen's bid provided thai
the city coufd retain occupancy of the build
ing as long as it needed to,

principal witnesses for the plaintiff yester-
day was Robert Jordan, prominent in
colored church circles. He testified that
shortly before his death and when he real
lied his end was near, Giles told him that
he wanted to acknowledge his son, whom
he had denied since he had married the
woman who was his wife OF that time.
Mrs. Marie Symons was granted a divorce
from John P. Symons on the grounds Of
desertion. The husband brought suit, but
the divorce was granted the wife on her
cross petition. Prof. j. p. Symons was
formerly organist and choirmaster of the
First Congregational church of this city.
Mrs. Myrtle Hesenflow secured a divorce
from Edward s. Hesenflow, to whom she
was married in 1895, on statutory grounds.

suggestion that Its scope Be Broad
ened to Take in County.
Monday. December IA. has been desig-
mated as Council Bluffs day at the National
Corn exposition in Omaha. Announcement
to this effect was made yesterday by Cur
don w. Wattles, who has charge of the
arrangements for special days during the
exposition. Victor e. Bender has been re-
quested by Mr.. Wattles to preside at the
exercises planned to be held on that day.
In his letter to Mr.. Bender the following
suggestions are offered by Mr.. Wattles:
We wish to make 1t ar event which
will attract the attention of the people
Of Council Bluffs generally, and make
their attendance worth while My notion
Is that you ought to preside at the ex-
ercises and that the mayor of your city
should make a brief address; The mayor
of. Omaha might be expected to make a
brief address of welcome.
wish to lift the program of Council
Bluffs day out Of the .perfunctory order OF
exercises and make of 1t something worth
while. How would It do to get a band and
have a special train of motor cars to leave
Council Bluffs at a given time and place
1t has been suggested since Mr.. Wattles'
letter was received that the special day for
Council Bluffs should be for Council Bluffs
and Pottawattamie county. as the farmers
in this county are evincing much interest
in the exposition. The commission In Pot
tawsttamie county has done some good
work and aroused considerable enthusiasm
among the farmers and for this reason IT Is
suggested that the special day on December
IA should be for Council Bluffs and Pot
tawattamie county and not for Council
Bluffs alone. 1t is expected that this suE-
gestion will be made to Mr., Wattles and
the other managers of the National Corn
exposition.
