Indications that Men Behind II Mean
Business.

huaANGHNs
The interurban project has been show
ing considerable activity during the past
week and II now seems to be a sure go.
c. w. Baker of Des Moines has written
C. c. Clifton that the project is now safely
financed and that the road is certain to
be built, and that 1t c~ontemplates an cleo
trio line between Des Moines and Omaha
by way Of Council Bluffs.
Advices from Des Moines state that
articles of Incorporation were filed with
the recorder of Polk county in that city
yesterday for the Des Moines, Council
Bluffs & Omaha railroad.

kins. vice president; NJ. Hooker, secre-
tary; E. Lockwood, treasurer.
Other incorporators are James Ions
dale, John Weighton. M. II. Miller and
d. A. Reed of Des Moines and surround
ing cities.
1t is popularity believed tina the read

the terminal somewhere in the vicinity of
the Union Pacific shops. The residents
of West Council Bluffs are enthusiastic

PRIMARY LAW HELD BINDING
south Dakota Democrats Are Barred
from Completing Their
Ticket.

PIERRE, s. D., Sept. S.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The decision of the supreme court
this afternoon in the mandamus suit
brought by certain democratic state con-
vention nominees against the secretary OF
state to compel him to place their names
on the regular democratic ticket, is a Sc
we're blow to that organization. It leaves
them with a small portion of a ticket which
will go upon the ballot as democrat, and
the only way any Of the others can get
upon the ballot will be as independent
candidates.
The court disposes of the contentious of
the attorneys for the democratic candidates
as to the constitutionality of the law and
their rights to act Independently of the
law in making party selections in a sum-
mary manner, the holding being that so
long as the democrats participated in the
primary as an organized party, they then
nominated their ticket and could make no
changes in Its makeup other than those
prescribed by the primary law itself. That
the legislative intent was to provide a
mandatory method of making party nomin-
atoms and such a law was one properly
within their constitutional authority.
This leaves the democratic ticket: An
drew E. Lee, for governor; w. T.. Lafol-
lette, lieutenant governors; r. E. Dowdell
and A. Holsen, for congress-. Their con-
vention selections can only get on the bal
lot as Independent candidates and in an
other column. By their effort to show
their contempt for the primary law by the
nomination of only a part of a ticket by
that method, they are worse off than II
they had ignored it in its entirety, for in
that case they could have grouped their
candidates all under one head.

as goes America, so goes the world and
when there is business depression in Amer
lea there are hard times In other countries,
and the little panic we had last fall started
the hard times in Europe.
'In London the hard times are quite
manifest and countless shops on Regent
street, the principal market street. are de-
serted. Another reason for this depression
in England is the falling off Of the ship
ping in its merchant marine. England has
always claimed to have 20 per cent of the
merchant ships on the ocean, but between
January and July, this year, its shipping
fell off nearly $3.50, 10000 The method of
conducting the railroads there has also
had something to do with it's depression.
In England the stockholders vote the divi-
dends and they thus appropriate all SER
plus earnings. When improvements are
made they issue new stock and It makes
it doubly hard to keep up earnings in times
of depression.
ENGLAND is extremely Jealous Of Ger
many and talk is current of borrowing
500, 900, 900 to build more English ships and
double the German navy and the navies of
any other country. Gcrnany's prosperity
started after the Franco-Prussian war.
Switzerland is in the best condition OF
any country we visited and there are no
beggars. The people are honest, thrifty,
industrious and happy. The greatest pow
erty is in Scotland, where much of the
country is unproductive and large slices
of the rest are held as game reserves by
English lords. Whisky and brandy drink
ing by the poorer GLASSES has had much
to do with there being so many beggars in
Scotland, / think. While in France and
switzerland water is practically unknown,
the people drink wine; but in Scotland they
drink whisky. The business depression in
Paris (and Paris is Franco Is marked.
"One thing that struck me as queer in
Paris is the wholesale consumption of
horse meat, and l am told that 300 horses
are eaten there daily. Horse markets arc
separated from other meat markets and
are visited mainly by the poorer people.
There are no surface street cars in either
Paris or London, but they each nave sub
ways, which are little used. In London
they are over 100 feet under ground. You
can travel in a cab about as cheaply."

HARD TIMES OVER IN EUROPE
Keen Business Depression Observed
Abroad by Warren SwitHler,
Who Just Returns.

Glad TO get out OF those countries where
hard times and business depression has a
grip on Industrial conditions and to re-
turn to the land OF peace and prosperity,
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren switEler arrived
Wednesday morning from a three months
trip through England, Scotland. France
and Switzerland. They sailed from Liver
pool and landed in New York last Thurs
day. Miss Alice switzler, who made the
European trip with her parents, stopped
at Indianapolis TO visit with army friends
at Fort Benjamin Harrison. She will re-
turn in about a week.
There Is a great period OF depression in
England, France and Germany, especially
in England said Mr.. switzler. London
is a perfect reflex Of New York, but the
business depression there Is much greater
than 1t Is in New York There is great
sympathy between America and all for
eign countries. and It has come to pass that

BRYAN SPEAKS Ing SIOUX CITY
NebraskRn Spends Early Part of Day
In MfuneHota,

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. addressing a
monster democratic rally here last night,
William ]. Bryan, democratic candidate for
the presidency, in the course of a speech
on the tariff, guarantee of bank deposits,
the labor and trusts questions and govern
mental reforms, denounced Coleman Du-
pont of Delaware and Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, members of the republican
executive committee, as not being expected
to become reformers, because, as he
charged. of their affiliation with the trusts.
Especial attention was given to the reform
and trust questions.
Having Travelled the entire night and day
through Minnesota and a part Of Iowa.
where he received enthusiastic receptions
all along the line, Mr.. Bryan arrived here
shortly before 8 o'clock tonight. From the
rear platform OF the train at various points
in both states he shook hands with many
hundreds of persons and made several
talks, but the chief of these was at Alton,
Ia, a junction point, where he discussed
at some length the tariff and the subject
of guaranty of bank deposits. He again
charged Mr.. Taft with not being satisfied
with the republican platform and with be-
ing forced to continually amend 1t.
During a two-hour stay at st. Paul, be-
tween trains, Mr.. Bryan took breakfast in
an uptown cafe, which he reached after a
brisk walk. On the way back he observed
in a music store window an announcement
that the stock included photographic rec
ords of his speech on the guaranty of bank
deposits and of Mr., Taft on injunctions in
labor disputes. He entered the place and
at his request both records were repro
duced. His own remarks were heard first,
and as the last words died away he smil-
ingly remarked:
81 am convinced"
At the station here to meet the Ne
braskan were Mayor Sears, state Commit
teeman Beck, Former Mayor Quick, Judge
Van Wagenen and many other leading
democrats. No sooner did the crowd catch
a glimpse OF him as he alighted from the
train than he was Justify cheered by sew
eral THOUSAND people, which continued as
he rode along the streets to the hotel. He
will depart at 5 o'clock In the morning for
Lincoln, travelling to Omaha via the Chi,
caEo & Northwestern and the balance OF
the way over the Burlington, reaching
home at l0N o'clock.

BIDS FOR RETAINING WALL
Run from Nine Thousand to Over
Twelve Thousand Dollars.
OBJECTION TO FAUs PROPOSAL
All Are Referred 90 City Engineer for
TabuIAtion and Report to the
Council at n Future
Meeting.

At a special meeting OF the city council
yesterday afternoon four proposals we're
received for the construction of the
foundations of the new addition to the fire
department building or addition to the pres
ent structure, which contemplates a con-
crete arch over Indian creek, the arch to
reach to the level of the present floor,
and for the construction Of a cement
bridge at Bryant street.
The bidders were James Saguin, whose
bid on the plans submitted by the city
engineer was for 81, 800. or for $1,000 on
certain notifications Of the engineers
plans; r. A. Wickham & Co., N0,9S5; c. c.
Norgaard, 81, Us; w. d. Faus of Webster
City, S9.167.40. The Faus bid does not
include any excavatlng or filling or dirt
work, for which he makes a bid of 40
cents per yard.
The question was raised among the
other bidders that the Faus bid was not
in accord with the specifications, nor was
1t fair. The explanation was made that
the reason Faus did not make a specific
bid on excavations and filling was that
the city engineer did not know exactly
how much of this work would be required
to be done. The other bidders held that
they had made a flat bid on the entire
work, taking their chances on the greater
or less quantity Of the dirt work to be
done.
Nothing was done in the matter. The
bids were referred to the city enkineer
and the committee on bridges and city
property for tabulation, and the city at
torney was instructed to prepare a con-
tract in blank for the work, the same to
be submitted to the council at It's next
meeting.
A committee from the Commercial club
met with the council relative to the city
building a retaining wall for the proposed
auditorium building to be erected on the
old mill tract. the Same to be used as a
part Of the foundation for the building
along Indian creek. The matter was laid
over until the next meeting of the council.

How 10 Avoid Annendiciti..

Most victims of appendicitis are those who
are habitually constipated. Orino Laxative
Fruit Syrup cures chronic constipation by
stimulating the liver and bowels, and re-
stores the natural action of the bowels.
orino Laxative Fruit Syrup does not nau-
seate or grippe and is mild and pleasant to
take. Refuse substitutes. All druggists.
Healthy kidneys filter the impurities from
the blood, and unless they do this, good
health is impossible. Foley's kidney cure
makes sound kidneys and will positively
cure all forms of kidney and bladder dis
eases. 1t strengthens the whole system.
