BURLINGTON TO
Be TRANSFORMED.
City Council and G. Il. Walsh Agree
to Provide the City with
Lighting sys-
tenn.
MAKE EXTENSIVE PLANS
Burlington VIII Emerge From Dark
ness Into Daylight, According to
the Plans Adopted
Yesterday.

BURLINGTON. Ia. Aug. bur
lington will be the best lighted city OF
its size in this section OF the country,
is the prediction Of the members OF
the city council and Manager Charles
H. Walsh Of the Peoples Gas and
Electric company. Their assertion is
based upon the new contract entered
into yesterday, for lighting. between
the city and Mr.. Walsh's company.
This contract runs Tor five years.
and gives Burlington arc lights at $50
per year each, and incandescepts at
SIS per annum each.
The old moonlight" schedule,
which has been complained OF for
years, because 1t threw the city into
complete darkness so much Of the
time, is abolished. Now the lights both
arc and incandescent will burn every
night, moon or no moon, II the super
intendent of public safety says 80. and
at no additional cost to the city.
While the present incandescent
lights are Of 80 candle power. the
ones to be installed will be sixty
candle, giving twice as much light.
They are to be Tungsten lights. The
rate for these lights will be s1s per
year for each light.
The members OF the council have
been In consultation with Mr.. Walsh
a number of times Ii the past month,
and 1t required many hours Of DELHI
Grafton to reach an agreement on the
contract price, which had to be made
at this time, to cover the next five
years.
Mayor Norton and Councilmen Has
kell Canny, Kruger and Schuers all
stated they believed a splendid bar
gain for the city had been given. Man.
aged Walsh stated to reporter that
he thought the city had Jared we'll,
and he pointed to the comparisons OF
rates paid in other Iowa cities.
The council states that better
lighted city will result, and that even
IL no more money is expended, the II.
Elimination will be vastly increased for
the same amount that has been paid
in the past.
They propose to light every alley In
the down town section, using mean
descents for the purpose. It is held
that better protection will be afforded
the merchants, and the public at large
II the alleys are made bright.
Solicitor ]. P. Poor took leading
part in the negotiations with Mana
ger Walsh and prepared the neces
sary legal documents. Conferences
have been held almost daily for the
last fortnight, with discussions OF the
contract price. Investigation was
made by the council of the lighting
bills of many other cities throughou,
the country.
Yesterday afternoon the council
took final action In the matter wher
the resolution presented by Council
man Haskell was adopted.

RANGE IN LIVERPOOL FUTURES.
HAYWARD & cLARK's
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Nov 14-The feature
of todays Liverpool was again the small
spot sales; total 1000 bales and this in
the face of the improvement in govern
ment securities, consols being 3-16 higher;
French rentes 80 higher; futures came in
weak, about 10 points lower against to
8 points lower due
There is no longer any doubt that the
first period of active spot buying is closed
and that we have to watch when the
second period of spot activity sets in. Be-
sides the small Liverpool sales there were
advices here early this morning from the
interior that leading spot buyers had
siderable spot cotton Is speculatively held
in the interior.
Weather conditions continue perfect
Hardly any rain in the belt and indica-
tionS are for fair and warmer in the next
SO hours. Our market lost about Is points
in the early trading on the poor Liverpool,
unfavorable spot news and prospects for
bearish weekly statistics tomorrow but
there was good general buying on the de-
preston which steadied prices. Feeling is
bulliSh and the decline from 121ac is
looked upon as merely a natural setback
following the close of an active period
of spot buying,
We compare tomorrow with 499, 600 bales
mill tal1ings for this week last year As
very large, landings in European ports
will be correspondingly large, hence mill
takings may compare quite faVorably The
into sight for the week looks around $685.
600 against 629, 1902 last year.
Futures rallied to 1918 for March in
the second hour in a report from New
York of support by Pell & Co, and that
they would issue their crop estimate,
which is expected TO be bullish.

SCORES ON STATE
Judge Bell Refuses to Turn
Over Stockholders Suits to
Georgia Authorities.

The affairs of the Cosmopolitan Life
insurance Company, now being aired in
third division of superior court, as a re
suit of numerous receivership suits filed
by dissatisfied stockholders, will not be
turned over to state authorities until the
present suits are cleared.
Attorneys for the company scored the
first point in the litigation today when
Judge Bell, in resuming the hearing this
morning, refused to allow the states bill,
filed Saturday by Attorney General
Fielder. to be combined with the original
suit of Dan G. Sudderth..
Reverses His Ruling.
The jurist at first ruled that all the
suits, including the states request that
the affairs of the company be sent to
the insurance department for disposition,
be tried as one. But on the vigorous
contentious of the Cosmopolitan attorneys
that the states suit was a distinct bill,
the judge ordered the trial of the Sud
derth suit to proceed.
The company's attorneys had main
tanned that the states suit took prece-
dence over the Sudderth bill and should
be tried first, but the court upon the
motion Of Attorney General Fielder, who
asserted that the state should have the
benefit of the Sudderth evidence, ruled
otherwise
Trial Is Resumed.
Charles Hopkins and Luther Rosser,
acting for the company, contended that
only the state could act under the pro-
visions of the new insurance law, and
since private person could not take
advantage of it, that the states bill
was not an Intervention on Sudderth,
but separate suit, to be tried as such.
The trial of the original suit, held up
for three days owing to the illness of
Judge Bell, was resumed at noon.
Attorneys for the National Assurance
Company, an organization recently thrown
into the hands of receiver by the court
and against which similar suit is pend
ing, declared today that they would Pc
tition the court to rule on the National
case at the same time the ruling was
made on the Cosmopolitan case
