Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. Oct. 1.-The Council
Bluffs city council, under the protest
of the jitney owners and many vino
took the trouble to go to the council
chamber, has passed an ordinance
which the jitney men declare will put
them entirely out Of business.
The features of the ordinance to
which the jitney men objected most
were that they should be compelled to
operate for eight consecutive hours
and over a specified scheduled route.
The bond was. not objected to nor was
the license.
The jitneys in Council Bluffs had
become q real benefit to the public.
At the start there were more than
thirty in operation but now there are
but about ten cars in the service In
addition to providing quick service to
the railroad stations-of which Coun-
Gil Bluffs has eight or nine-the jit-
neys. for ten cents. would call at ones
house and take you to the station,
theater or other public place reason
ably near the route. Of the cars and
for slightly additional price would
extend the service, thus hitting the
taxicabs hard as well as cutting into
the receipts Of the street car COM
.pany. Moreover, since the existence Of
the jitneys the street car men have
been more accommodating and cars
have actually been seen held at rail-
road stations when trains were arriv-
ing, whereas formerly they appeared
to put on extra speed in getting away
from the station II an incoming train
was sighted, and In many other way.
have been found more agreeable to
the public. hence there will be general
regret when the jitneys are abolished
as now seems probable.

A man giving his name as Tom
Kelley, was found in an unconscious
condition in the Rock Island yards

Our community was greatly shocked
to learn, early Wednesday morning.
that r. f. Wilson, one of our most
progressive and popular farmers, had
dropped dead while performing his
chore duties at 6 o'clock. AS usual,
Mr.. Wilson arose early and had gone
to the barn to attend to his duties, and
when his son Ross arrived at the scene
to work some time later, found the dead
body Of his father. DR.. G.. J. Musser
was hastily summoned, but found life
had been extinct for some time. Mr..
Wilson had been enjoying his usual
health. and his demise came as a
severe shock both to the immediate
family and friends. Besides his wife,
Mr.. Wilson leaves several children.
For the past several years, Mr.. Wilson
and family have occupied the Pemble
farm. Always alive to the betterment
OF the community, a genial neighbor
and devoted father, Orville has lost

The misfortunes Of the Rice & Dore
water circus has made for surfeit of
hired men in the vicinity of Port
Louisa. There is hardly a farm house
in that locality which does not harbor
one or more members Of the i'll fated
party. Some are working as fisher
men and shelters and others are try
ing their hand at farming. All have
but one object in view, namely. to
secure enough money to get back to the
rialto for despite their Ill fortunes Of
the year all are ready to embark upon
another theatrical enterprise next year.
Not only are members Of the circus to
be found in Port Louisa, but it would
appear that most Of the aquatic
monsters have been transported to
farm houses in that locality. Alligators,
snakes, turtles and other forms OF
reptile life are now being housed at
the places where the circus men are
staying. The reptiles are being held
by the showmen for 1t represents all

Three Years by Buena Vista.

Iowa Falls, Oct. .. For the first
time in two years, the Ellsworth COL
lege goal line was crossed here yes
terday, the credit for smashing the
record going to the Buena Vista Col

game of the regular schedule of the
Ellsworth team, Buena Vista College
shared hoEcrs with Ellsworth by a
final score OF to Z.
In the first quarter neither team
scored, and Ellsworth seemed to have
the better chance of winning, but in
the second quarter, the visitors came
back strong and about the middle Of
the quarter scored a touchdown and
kicked goal, the score being made by
well-exccuted forward pass followed
by an end run. In the third quarter,
Ellsworth came back determined to
win and by working several forward
passes, advanced the ball to within a
few yards of the Buena Vista goal
when Thompson went over the line and
scored for Ellsworth. Goal was kicked

BETTER ROADS

You own an automobile You have
paid your license fee, which is an
evidence of good citizenship on your
part. Your neighbor owns an auto

that is an evident of lack of good

ulate you and thank you for your
prompt compliance with a law in
which | am profoundly interested
and for the enforcement of which I
am in large measure responsible.
When the present automobile law
was first passed there was some op-
position to it among automobile own
ers. Many of them claimed that as
their machines were assessed and
taxed as personal property the license
fee was in the nature of double tax
alton. But when it was understood
that the money paid for such license
was to be used solely for the main
tenance and improvement of roads al
ready established and not for the Law
ing out and building of new roads or
the construction of bridges, the auto
mobile owners as a rule accepted the
law with good grace and cheerfully
complied with its provisions. They
argued that the automobile license
fee is special fee provided for a
special purpose and that purpose is
the improvement of roads already
established and is of special benefit
to automobile owners. So as a rule
they have obeyed the law and paid
the fees
