Teachers Will Not ( Jet Pay for Thanksgiv
ing Day This Year ,
NIGHT SCHOOL SCHEME TAKING SHAP
Effort Will He SI nil o to Ascertain How
Jinny Wish to Attend Much a School
Mr. Mynster t'mi Take HIP
I'lctiirci.
The nchool board held Its regular monthly
meeting , with President Field and Directors
3nyder , Dridcnsteln and Fonda present. The
question of establishing o night xchool was
Drought up again by Superintendent Saw
yer , who presented a petition from twenty-five
persons under 21 years of age. asking the
board to establish a night school , Inasmuch
as they were unable to attend the regular
day schools. He recommended that an ad
vertisement be Inserted In each dally paper
In the city asking all who would attend
such a school to send their names to some
given address. In order to ascertain how
popular the scheme would be. It was de
cided to adopt the recommendation , and the
committee appointed at a previous meeting
to Investigate the advisability of the plan
was given further time.
Mr. Mynster was granted the privilege of
taking pictures of pupils at recess , pro
viding arrangements could be made with
the varloild principals.
Chairman lirlilcnsteln of the committee on
teachers reported that on account of the
sickness or Miss Laura Long , teacher In the
Avenue U school , he had found It necessary
to appoint Miss Elfa Miles to the position ol
substitute. The report was adopted.
Superintendent Sawyer's report showed a
large Increase In attendance during October ,
the attendance now being as follows : Boys ,
1,905 ; girls , 1,997 ; total , 3,902 ; total average
number attending , 3,701.
The committee on buildings and grounds
reported that the roof of the Madison avenue
building still leaks. The committee was In
structed to make all needed repairs. It was
also ordered to draft a petition to the coun
cil asking for a sidewalk In front of the
Thirty-second street building.
The oft-mooted question of whether school
should bo held the Friday after Thanksgiving
waa discussed at length , and it was at
length decided that the young idea should be
taught to shoot that day the same as on
any other. There waa also a good deal ol
discussion as to whether teachers should be
paid for Thanksgiving day when there was
no school. Director Fonda thought they were
not entitled to any pay when they did nc
work. Brldensteln felt that In view of the
hard times and good wages that were belnj
paid , the teachers could not object very much
If the strict letter of the contract were com
piled with , and the pay for the holiday was
cut off. President Field expressed hlmsell
the same way , and Dr. Snyder was the enl >
one to stand up for following custom rathei
than strict law. As an upshot , the teacher ;
will not be paid for their day of vacation
As an aid to superior cookery Dr. Price's
Baking Powder , besides Its greater purity ,
Is of higher leavening power than any other.

He addressed three large meetings Sunday
The men's meeting at 3 p. m. attracted some
200 men , who listened to the address , and a
the close about a dozen rose to their feel
asking for the prayers and help of Chrlstlar
people to start a different mode of life. The
gathering was not one composed entirely ol
church members , but was a representutlvt
gathering of men in all the walks of life , nni
the- speaker was unanimously requested at
the close of his talk to give another nex
Sunday at the same hour. It only needs th <
support of the Christian people of the cltj
to bring Into activity such a crusade agalntl
vice and Immorality as has never been see :
here. The city needs it bail enough and lain
dreds who are not professing Christians wll
join In the good work when they find thai
those who nrc have taken up the fight \\ltl

who are not regular church-goera , are in

Mrs. Jennlo Clatterbaugh , a very prett
woman from Missouri Valley , was brougli
before United States Commissioner Stcadma
yesterday to answer to the charge of sendln
an obscene letter through the malls. Fret
the story as It was divulged in the ofllce , I
seems that her husband , who is a blackamlt
at Missouri Valley , has a habit of going o
sprees once In a while , and when he ho
succumbed to the witchery of the flowln
bowl he seeks the society of a woma
whoso morals are darker than her face. Mri
Clatterbaugh at last became exceeding !
angry at the- carryings on of her wore
half , and wrote the offending woman a lette
In which she stated that her husband woul
not bo seen with her excepting when ho wn
trunk. In emphasizing this statement , It I
claimed , she used some very strong languagi
which made her liable to the government !
laws. She waived examination yesterda
afternoon , and was bound over to the feden
grand Jury. She gave a bond In the sum (
$500 for her appearance at the March ten
and was released.

Queer Kcmiomr.
"It's a queer sort of economy a lot of the
Council Bluffs taxpayers are practicing , " re
marked a well known and level-headed busi
ness man yesterday afternoon , "In assigning
their claims for excessive taxes to an at-
.orney who gobbles half of the amount for
turning over to the propjrty owner the other
half. The drawing out of this money will
: nake a hole In the county treasury which
will have to be filled up by an Increased tax
ation. These very same taxpayers will then
iiave to pt.y the county back , not only the
lialf of the judgment secured against the
county , but the other half as well that was
turned over to the attorney. The probability
is that after It has been definitely decided by
the supreme court that the tax was really
excessive the county treasurer will be In
structed to refund all excessive taxes to the
property owners. Then they will be able to
read their title clear to the whole amount , In
stead of having to divide with the lawyer. "

to ll t.lvcn rreroroiico In Employment.
At their meeting yesterday afternoon the
park commissioners decided to continue work
In Elmwood park during the balance ot the
month. The secretary reported that there
would remain about $4,600 In the main
tenance fund after paying salaries for the
remaining quarter , and It was the unanimous
opinion that EOIIIO of this money should be
expended In completing the boulevard to
Leavcjiworth street.
There was considerable discussion with re
gard to the contemplated action ot the
charter amendment committee In recommend
ing that the commission give the preference
to old soldiers tn the matter of employment.
While most of the members were favorably
disposed toward the veterans , they took the
ground that It was a mistake to suppose
that the board had any positions to dispose
of which did not require able bodied men.
A resolution was tlnally adopted which pro
vided that In the future the veterans should
have the preference , all other considerations
being equal.

One of the prettiest church weddings of
the season. If not for several seasons , was
solemnized last evening at 8 o'clock at the
First Congregational church , Rev. T. J.
Mackay , In the absence of Dr. Joseph T.
Duryea , officiating. The contracting parties
were Miss Mary Price , daughter of Mrs.
Nathan Price ot this city , nnd Mr. Theodore
G. Wear of Topeka , one of the prominent
business men ot the Kansas capital. They
were supported by a retinue of young men
and young women , the bride having the honor
of being escorted by six bridesmaids and a
ring bearer. The bridesmaids were Miss
Curt.s. Miss McCllntock and Miss Thompson
ot Topeka , Miss Orcutt , Miss Palmer and
Miss IJuuin of Omaha. The groom was rep
resented by his next friend , Mr. Edson ol
Topeka , the ushers being Messrs. Treat ,
Oouldt Deltz. John Burgess and W. II.
Wheeler. The bride was exceedingly beauti
ful In white satin entralne , with high neck
and balloon sleeves , the gown being richly
ornamented with real lace. She carried a
handsome shower bouquet ot white roses , while
the bridesmaids largely carried chrysanthe
mums to match their costumes. A pretty
feature of the wedding was the dignity with
which Hrownlo Hess Damn , the ring bearer ,
scattered flowers In front of the wedding
party on their exit from the church. Mr.
and Mrs. Wear left last night on a wedding
trip.
About Croup.
Croup Is a terror to young mothers. To post
them concerning the first symptoms and treat
ment Is the object of this Item. The first
Indication ot croup Is hoarseness. In a child
who Is subject to croup It may be taken
as a sure sign ot the approach ot an attack ,
Following this hoarseness Is a peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlain's cough remedy li
given as soon as the child becomes hoarse , 01
even after the rough cough has appeared II
will prevent the attack. It has never beer
known to fall.

CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , Nov. 19. ( Special
Telegram. ) H Is Just now becoming pain-
ftlily apparent to a certain element of the
republican party of the state of Iowa that the
seemingly passive qulesence of the prohibi
tionists during the Into campaign \sas
loaded. Indications all point to the fact that
the opponents of the liquor traffic arc pre
paring for one ot the most energetic of cam
paigns next year. At the very outset there
will bo an effort to capture the republican
state convention , as was done In 1383 , after
the prohibitory amendment to the constitu
tion had been knocked out on a technicality.
If the convention is taken a declaration for
the enforcement of the old state-wide pro
hibitory law \\ill be made. If the plan falls
an open bolt and n third party light Is
threatened.
Hon. L , S. Coffin of Fort Dodge In an
Interview today said he declined the nomina
tion for governor on the third party prohibi
tion ticket In 1892 for the simple reason
that he could not sec any other result than
the election of Boles If he did so. He could
not sco that Jackson would withdraw , even
If he had a great following , ant ] It would
have resulted In the defeat of both If he
had staid In the field , and he could not con
sent to the election of Boles. He thought
If the prohibitionists stood right by the party
they would take the proper stand eventually.
He eays no promises \\cre asked or made ,
and that the letter of declination was writ
ten before ho had seen any one. He did not
look fop the passage of the mulct law ,
which ho believed to be the best ever
enacted allowing 'tlio operation of saloons.
Mr. Coffin says he bollevts the republican
party will yet give the people prohibition ,
but If not he and his co-wuikers have no
use for It.
It.NOW
NOW WELL ORGANIZED.
This talk of Mr. Coffin's Is the more
significant when taken In connection with the1
work In which he Is now actively engaged.
Last May at Mount Pleasant a gathering
of prohibition wheel horses organized , after a
full consideration of the situation , the Iowa
Constitutional Amendment league. IU
avowed purpose is to secure an amendment
to the constitution similar to the one defeated
n the courts twelve years ago.
Since the meeting at Mount Pleasant the
workers have gone throughout the state
organizing , until now there Is a representa
tive of the league In. . every school district.
These are actively engaged In propagating
the doctrine of constitutional prohibition ,
preaching It as the the duty of the republican
party to bring about this great reform. FallIng -
Ing In this the republican-party Is to be
deserted and the course of prohibition is
to be pushed forward , by an independent
organization.
When the next state republican conven
tion Is culled to order a scene very similar
to that of 1883 may be looked for. Then
the decision of the supreme court , which cut
out the constitutional amendment adopted in
18S2 , had aroused the prohibitionists to a
most Intense pitch of political enthusiasm.
Very few of the old-time polltlclals got to
that state convention. In every district of
the state the prohibitionists had been workIng -
Ing with the energy of zealots , and the re
sult was .a multitude of new faces In the
thousand that faced the chairman. Buren
R. Sherman's nomination was on a plank
that resulted In h Is * i attaching his official
signature early In 1S84 to-the prohibitory law
that the mulct law was intended to suspend
In redemption of the celebrated thirteenth
plank ot 1893. Governor Larrabee was elected
to succeed Governor Sherman. Pronounced
prohibitionist personally he gave his earnest
official efforts to the enforcement of the
prohibitory law as reinforced by the Clark
bill , which was adopted by the
legislature of 18SO. This was sup
posed to bo the acme of Ingenuity in
the way of statutory prohibition. Its advo
cates claim for It all the virtues , of perfec
tion. During the two Larrabeo terms all the
legal machinery In the state was kept busy
with the enforcement of the law , and for a
while Iowa was probably as "dry" as a greal
state will ever become.
WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS.
On the records of the courts of all grades
Is written the story of the great fight that
was made to stamp out the liquor traffic
It Is a record of crime and fanatical zea
unparalleled In modern history. On the- one
hand the bootlegger and Joint keeper , and on
the ether the prohibition attorney and con
stable , and between them the taxpayers o
the state , who paid the bills. From the cold
blooded assassination of Rev. George Had
dock at Sioux City to the blowing up a
Muscatino of the home of Editor John Ma-
hln with dynamite , the recital Is a. sensa
tlonal one. Every hamlet , village , town or
city has Its chapter. But there seemed a
change In sentiment. Slowly the saloon re
appeared In the larger cities , and the joints
became more and more numerous throughou
the smaller places , until In 1893 , ten years
after the fight began with such desperation
the republican party was forced to confess
that prohibition was a failure ; that neither
blood nor money could make the law ac
compllsh its end , and that the advocacy o
the plan had cost the party control of the
state , and further support would surely lose
It a United States senator.
In the convention at Des Molnes for the
first UTOB in ten years a majority of the
delegates were opposed to prohibition , am
favored such modification of the law as woulc
bring the liquor traffic under control of the
authorities. The fight that ensued was an
earnest one on the part of the advocates
of a change , and a desperate one on the par
of the prohibitionists , who saw their doc
trine being crushed. Only A compromise
could prevent a hopeless split. This wa
reached In the plank which declared state
wide prohibition a failure ; declared prohlbl
tlon to bu no teat of party fealty , and pledged
the republican party of the state of Iowa
to the enactment of such a law as woulc
secure to localities where the prohibitory
law was a success all Its benefits , and t
communities otherwise-ihe-right to contro
the traffic. ' '

This plank eventually found expression li

John H. Funk of Hardln qounty was chair

GOVERNOR JACKSON SATISFIED.
DES MOINES , Nov. 19. ( Special Tele-
; rnm. ) Governor Jackson 1ms written a let-
er to Hon. James E. Illytlie , chairman of
he republican state central committee , In
vlilcli he congratulates Blythe upon the mag
nificent organization of the republican forcjs
n Iowa and the complete and overwhelming
victory Just won. Ho says : "With wise , pa-
.rlotlc and faithful leadership , the present
i'lctory means twenty years or more of un-
nterrupted republican supremacy , state and
mtlon.nl. "
The Governor continues : "In connection
icrewlth I desire to emphasize what I have
said to you many times personally , that
he most substantial compensations ot a pub
ic office are not equal to the common de
mands. This I realize from personal experi
ence. This situation confronted me last
rear , when good friends were urg ng me to
) o a candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor. I felt that financially I could not
afford tt. I said so then , and my experience
ias confirmed my judgment as then ex
pressed. Not unmindful of what I owed to
my fellow republicans and my party , tlie
nomination coming to mo as It did , I ac
cepted. I desire now to turn my attention
o the obligations of my family and to earn
for their comfort and education what the In
come of a public office available for such
offices does not afford. In saying this I am
not without appreciation of the great honor
ny party has done me and the ttill greater
lionor expressed by the people of Iowa In
my election as their chief executive.
"I shall not , therefore , be n candidate for
renomlnatlon , and cannot accept the nomina
tion should It be tendered me. I nm led to
make this announcement now that the re
publicans of the state may be apprised of
my conclusion at this early date ; that all
who desire to bo candidates may have an
equally fair opportunity. "
Secretary of State McFnrland and Mayor
H Ills of this city are already mentioned as
possible candidates for governor.

at Hlnnx City.
SIOUX CITY , Nov. ID. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Th& trial of the first of the cele
brated county cases growing out of the al
leged embezzlement of nearly $200,000 was
called in the district court today.
It Is the case In which It Is sought to re
move from office Supervisor Strange , who Is
accused of being the head of what Is called
the stealing faction of the board. On the
outcome of his case depends whether or not
three other members of the board hold their
offices , and In certain measure the crim
inal cases commenced against Supervisors
Strange & Hunting and Epps for extor
tion , embezzlement , etu
The entire day was spent In the securing
of a jury , and at adjournment the task had
not been completed , although a venire of
fifty Jurymen was exhausted. A special
venire of thirty jurors has been summoned
to appear tomorrow. ,
The- best legal talent In mis part of the
state Is retained In the case , and the battle
will be the hardest fought In the courts
of Iowa since the famous Haddock trial.
Over 100 witnesses have been summoned on
either side. Out of these cases over 200
cases have grown , nnd all depend on each
other to a greater or less extent. Of these
cases one Is to restrain the- bonding of the
warrants alleged to be Illegal , several are
against Editor Kelly for putting In stuffed
bills for county printing , and others are
against ex-County Treasurer Klfer to recover
about $50,000 , which It Is alleged that he with
held from the county when ho retired from
office.
In addition to these there are nearly 100
criminal cases against the members of the
board on charges of extortion , embezzlement ,
malfeasance In office , etc. , that will come
up tn rapid succession at this and following
terms of court. It Is expected that when the
taking of testimony Is commenced that there
will be some very sensational disclosures.
