When Hayes Was a Student.

While Rutherford B. Hayes was a
college student he went out walking
one day with two of his chums and
met an old farmer coming along the
road. The future president addressed
him in this manner:
Good morning, Father Isaacr'
Then his two friends spoke to the
old tiller Of the soil, one calling him
Father Abraham and the other Father
Jacob.
Gentlemen, you are mistaken" said
the old man solemnly. II am neither
Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob, but Saul.

COUNCIL OPPOSED TO PROJECT
Mission of Lieutenant Governor Bruce
on water Works May Fail.

Mission of Lieutenant Governor Bruce
On water works May Fail.
Hon. NJ. L. Bruce Of New York. special
counsel for the eastern stockholders Of the
Council Bluffs City Water Works COM
psny, appeared by Invitation before the
special committee OF BUSINESS men APP
pointed by Mayor Malorey to investigate
the water works question.
Mr.. Bruce explained in detail the propo-
sition which he had made to the city
council on behalf Of the water works COM
pany. He emphasized the fact that the
company was willing to do anything that
the city should ask in the way OF bringing
the plant up to date with modern ma
chinery, to afford better fire protection in
the business %centers, to extend the service
wherever needed and in addition to all this
to install a clarifying plant.
The committee spent some time looking
over the plans Of the plant with Mr..
Bruce and Manager Hartland, local coun-
sci for the water company.
Members Of the committee expressed
themselves as greatly pleased with the
proposition made by Governor Bruce which,
in their opinion, they said, was a most
liberal one.
Attorney ]. ]. Stewart, member OF the
NpllllAlAAAtti uuIlhb Iut rlllOI0ldl ulSCuSSlOn
suggested that probably his committee was
as the courts would term 1t, without jur-
isdiction," but nevertheless they planned to
make a report to the best Of their ability.
Member Graham said that while possibly
the committee lacked official jurisdiction
and had been practically repudlated by the
city council, he felt assured that the people
generally would be pleased to have a re-
mort from guph q Copopniftaa rnunnasaa au
it was of non-partisan and unprejudiced
citizens who had nothing but the best in
~terests of the city and its citizens at
heart.
The committee has not received all the
data it asked for, but despite this drawback
is making a thorough investigation of the
subject and expects to have a report ready
to present to the city council at its first
regular meeting in August.
Indications are that the proposition made
by Governor Bruce on behalf of the water
company will receive scant courtesy at the
hands of a majority of the city council.
Several of the councilmen, including the
members Of the water works committee,
make no secret of the fact that they are
opposed to giving the opposition any con-
sideration and are in favor Of proceeding
at once to close up the contract with Wick
nam.
In fact, 1t is no secret now that several
members of the city council were opposed
to permitting Governor Bruce appearing be-
fore the council at all last Monday night
and some OF them even went so far as to
insist that Mr.. Bruce be not even allowed
: to present the proposition, much less to ad-
dress the council. The radical members
of the council were only prevented from
carrying this threat into execution by cooler
heads at a star chamber session Monday
evening just before the city council meet
ing.

ward, was the only member of the COM
mittee not present at last nights meeting.

DES MONIES. July 23-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The Board OF Supervisors of Dallas
county began the recount of the votes of
that county on congressman today. The
executive council will await the recount.
Congressman Hull and his friends, who
up to yesterday were resisting the recount,
made every effort to get the board
to ~reconvene and make the recount now.
Friends of Judge s.. F.. Prouty resisted
this on the claim that they fear that tho
recount would not be legal. because Of the
board having adjourned to August 4.
The executive council of Iowa, the MEM
bers of which have been hoping against
hope that they would not have to take
sides in the controversy, has been IN deep
water. In accordance with his informally
announced opinion of last night, Attorney
General Byers appeared before the council
today and advised them that to meet the
requirements of the law 1t must canvass
the returns on congressman before the
last day on which the congressional con-
vention can be held.
Western Union to Fight,
The Western Union will put up a stiff
fight against the million dollar suit started
against it by the state of Iowa for illegally
doing business in the state. One Of its
attorneys was In the city today making
ready to answer the complaint filed on
behalf OF the state by Attorney General
Byers.
Thursday the Last Day.
The last day is Thursday, July %, and
the congressional convention which met
here last Saturday adjourned to that day.
The attorney general finds this action
necessary because the primary election law
provides that IL no nomination is made by
the primary the convention must nominate.
The council must Inform the convention
whether or not a nomination Ihas been
made.
1t was believed by the council that action
on their part could be delayed till tomor-
row forenoon, since the convention does
not meet till tomorrow afternoon, If there
was any hope that the Dallas supervisors
would recount the vote by that time. There
would be little hope of this. however, even
If the supervisors were to attempt it, be-
cause of the amount Of work involved in
the recount. 1t will take the council but
a few minutes to canvass the returns OF
the district.
There was a reliable but unconfirmed re-
port today that arrangements were being
made by some of the friends Of Congress-
man Hull to circulate a petition and have
his name placed on the ballot as an indie
