The Board of County Commissioners com
pleted the special session yesterday and ad
journed until -the regular meeting In April.
The fiucsllon of collecting the great amount
of money that has been advanced by the
county for the care of the Incurable Insane
and others sent to the state hospitals and to
St. Bernard's , occupied u largo part of the
session yesterday. The deeper the members
of the board went Into the matter the moro
apparent It became that there were many
thousands ot dollars on the books whlohcould
bo collected and returned to the county
treasury. The board took prompt action to
start the work ot collecting. Instructions
wcro given to the county attorney to take
up the nutter ami push It vigorously. He
was Instructed to employ a good man and
have him devote all his tlmo to the work.
In all cases where payment Is delajcd or re
fused the county attorney Is Instructed to
bring suit. The board fixed the compensation
of the man who is to be given the job of
punching up the delinquents nt 10 per cent
of all money collectid whcro suit Is not
necessary and 15 per cent whcro the assist
ance ot the courts Is required. The board
believes that this will bo a sulllolently lib
eral compensation for a good man and tint
ho will turn Into the country treasury a
large an.ount of money In a short time The
ivatter is wholly within the control of
'County ' Attorney Saumlers.
A compromise was effccteJ In the matter
ot the contest sMrtul by the Globe Publish
ing company to secure Its share of the county
printing An amicable arrangement was
made with air. Pfclffer , the publisher of the
Gorman paper , which had been substituted
for the Globe , by which he voluntarily with
drew his application for rcmembiante at the
public cilb and stepped aside for the bene
fit of the democratic organ.
The boaid IKed the compensation and
limited the number of bailiffs to bo employed
at the Avoca coutt.While the grand jury
Is In session not more than three bailiffs
can bo emplojed and at other times not
more than two. Dan Conrad was appointed
as the extra bailiff , -with the power of a
deputy sheriff. He is to bo allowed ? 2 a
day while omplojcd as bailiff and Is not al
lowed to draw moro than $50 a jear for his
services as a deputy sheriff. The salaiy of
Deputy Sheriff Long of Avoca , VVJB fixed at
$1,000 a 5 car.
The board fixed the compensation of the
Jailors hero and at Avoca at the same figure
that las prevailed for the last thrco years.
They are ullowcd $30ft a jear and make the
rema nder of their salary out of the profit of
boaidlng the prisoners.

The executive committee of the Council
Bluffs TrunsinUslFslppl association held a
meeting at the Grand hotel ! ast evening , and
pushed along a few steps further the busi
ness and enterprises for which the associa
tion was formed. Tivo vacancies In the
general committee of fifty were filled by
the election of Dr. S. B. Jennings end J. C
Mitchell. The finance committee reported
tliu resignation , of Its chairman , A. W. Wy-
man , and E II. Walters was elected to ttie
position. The committee- made a report that
was highly satisfactory to the association ,
for it Indicated that the great financial prob
lem was In a fair way of being solved.
Whllo on the subject of finances the com-
mltteo recommended the creation of sub
committees to assist In the work'of solicit
ing funds to build the big wigwam. It wns
decided to create six groups of thrco mem
bers each , one from < the finance committee
and two from the general committee. Those
groups will form auxiliary soliciting com
mittees whoso chief duty will be to push
fie ! sale of the 5,000 exposition buttons that
are cm hand.
Secretary Judson made a report that con
tained a good deal ot matter of general
Interest , especially the portions concerning
the Importance ot the exposition ) to the city
of Council Bluffs. Ho eald In part :
It has been estimated tluit r.ftW people can
Una accommodations In Council Bluffs with
the extia arrangcircnta that will bo made
during tlio exposition. If only an aver.ige
of 3,000 stop In this city during- that tlmo
It will menu nn expenditure to our 'board- '
In ; ? houses , hotels nnd lodging places and
t'.ienco ' to our grocers , butchers , bakers ,
market gardeners nnd others of about
$ MO,000 at the low rate of $ i per day for
each person for board ami lodging- street
cir faies paid by these people would
amount to $ UO,000 or more nnd personal ex
penditure : ) In oiher ways to $200.000 more ,
making un inuBregnto of about Jl COO.OX ) . To
show thnt these llgures nre not excessive
" 5L , ' ° attendance if we pan take care of
2.000 people at n tlmo this only means 30,000
ulffeient persons at the nverago rate of
stoppigo , nnd the exposition authorities
confidently llgure on 1'os ' attendance of more
than 1,000,000 different visitors. On the ex
penditure In our city of $1,000,000 1 per cent
would bo $10,000 more than enough to carry
on the work of advertising- , build the vvlg-
wnm nnd leave a dividend for nn audi
torium fund. It looks ns though , In the
fuco of hueh llffnrcs ns these , that it ought
not to be dllllcult to secure funds enough
to carry on the association work.
The secretary was allowed $25 for postage
for his official correspondence , A resolution
was adopted declaring that no liabilities
should bo Incurred In the name of the as
sociation except by a vote ot a majority of
the members ot any regular or apodal meet
ing. The committee adjourned to meet again
on next Thursday night.
An Invitation was extended to all of the
members of the committee to meet with the
executive committee of the Merchants' and
Manufacturers' ' ufhoclatlon , which will hold
a special scoalon at the Grand hotel this
evening for the purpose of discussing the re.
ported rumor of the removal of the Union
Pacific transfer business to Omaha. Judge
McGoa will bo present and will read the do.
crco of the United States supreme court In
the mandamus case that was brought against
the Union Pacific company to compel It to
transact Its terminal business In this city.
An Invitation Is extended to all of the mem

In his peregrinations ho got Into the cloak

Pryor and talked to him whllo wearing the

was bomothlng oddly familiar about the cu-

nothing to excite the nueplclou that It was
stolen , for Pryor had HJ ! then missed the
garment Pryor was the Mst young man the
thief talked with before leaving the building.
The coat was not mimed until school was
out. An excellent description of the thief
was furnished to the police , and n search for
him was begun. The coat was a new black

The report that the Union Pacific Railway
company has under consideration the plan
of removing the switching and transfer
business of the road from this city to
Omaha was the subject ot a good deal of
discussion around town yesterday. The In
terest taken will at least be sufllclcnt to
bring out a full attendance of the members
ot the executive committee of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' association
tonight. There Is a general Inclination to
question the reliability of the report , anil
the doubters have n good deal to sustain
( heir opinions. In legal circles the opinion
that no removal U possible Is unanimous
and strong. The decision of the United
States supreme court Is considered as defi
nitely settling the terminus and transfer
question for all time. The Judgment of the
court expressly declares thot the eastern
terminus of the road "shall" bo at Council
Bluffs , and the transfer of all freight to
and from the eastern lines shall be made at
this point. Any violation of this order of
the court would place the management of
the line In contempt. The first attempt at
removal would be met with an Injunction
from the federal court.
In local Union Pacific circles the report
that has stirred up the Merchants' and Man
ufacturers' association Is received with a
smile and Its authenticity universally dis
credited by all of the officers and employes.
The work of switching and transferring gives
steady employment to between 30(1 ( and 400
men , and the removal of this small army of
employes from the city would bo felt se
riously. It Is likely that some reassuring
Information will bo given to the meeting of
the commercial association tonight.

Thn Board of Supervisors yesterday called
the managers of St. Bernard's hospital ibe-
fore It and notified them that the first five
yearn ot tholr ten-year contract with tha
county for earing for the Incurable Insane
had expired , and that the second term of the
period -would be entered upon from October
1 , wlthiaRlIght reduction of the amount paid
monthly for the care of the Insane. Tlio
original contract gave the hoopltal the right
to charge $16 a month for the care of each
county patient In the hospital , but the man
agement of the Institution voluntarily made
n reduction of 5 per cent , with the under
standing that the county should pay the
bills In cash each month. During the entire
period the sisters have been drawing $16.20
instead of the contract price of $16 for each
patient. In looking over the contract yes
terday It was found to contain nothing that
could ho construed Into a promise to pay In
any other way than In cash each month ,
and the hospital people discovered that they
had boon unnecessarily cutting down their
bills. The new law fixes the compensation
for the care of each patient at $14 a month
and provides that It must bo paid In cash
each month. During the remainder of the
term of the contract this will bo the price

Linn , chairman ; Mcrrlaui of Delaware , Who-
Ian of Eminctt , Vantlouton of Tajlor , 1'cnlck
of Lucas , Porter of Appamodjo anil Albertson
of Washington. It Is understood the commit
tee will fa\ora bill la line with the minority
report of the Healy committee for a board
ot control with only supervisory powers ,
leaving executive charge with the local
boards as now. The announcement of the
committee was received In the senate , where
the majority plan of a central board with
executive powers Is favored , as a declaration
that the house will make a flght against the
radical change from the present sj tem , and
tUt the Institution Influences w 111 make the
battleground there , endeavoring to Induce
the house to defeat the radical measure ex
pected from the eenatc.
In each house a hill was presented by the
chairman of the railroad committee authoriz
ing the railroad commissioners to give fur
ther time to the railroads to ujulp their cars
with automatic couplers. The law took effect
January 1 , ISPS , but few roads had complied
with Its provisions. The bills authorlre the
commlrslouers on proper showing of the
roads , to extend the time , but la no case
bejoml January 1 , 1300.
KIG11T ON TITUS RESOLUTION.
The democrats have opened a vigorous
flght against the Titus resolution to amend
the constitution to inaKu ejections come only
In alternate icars. They say the scheme Is
to get all date elections In presidential or
congressional jears , when national issuca
will predominate and help carry the state
for the republicans. They will caucus and
plan a flght at once if the measure seems to
develop strength.
Appropriation til's were presented for
? 70,375 for the insane hospital at Independ
ence , $40,000 for a now building at the Mnr-
shalltown Soldiers' home ; and $10,000 $ for the
Uenedlct Home , DCS Molncs.
Carr ot I'olk presented a bill for civil serv
ice In cltlca over 50,000 , Des Moiue. * being
the only one. It provides for a commission
of three , named by the ma > or , and to take
effect before the spring election this jear.
Des Molnea political factions have been
flghtliig over such a bill for > cars , each fide
wanting It whca In power , and opposing It
when out of power. Carr Introduced the
measure by request.
Hobart Introduced the" Temple amendment
In the senate. In the house the tame meas
ure presented several davs ago was con
sidered In the railroad committee and will
be reported soon.
Corrcil In the sanntej and Powers In the
house , both of Jasper , Introduced n bill to
deduct the amount of jnortgages from the
value of property in listing It for assessment -
ment , and to tax the mortgages to their
holders. It Is similar to several bills K.lled
at recent sessions.
MEW UOMC DEDICATED.
The Iowa Chlldreifs : IIomo society today
dedicated with appropriate services its new-
state home In thiscity. . The structure Is a
three-story brick with modern appointments ,
which cost 115,000 , fand Is practically free
from debt. The socipty was organized In
1888 nt Davenport , whcro It remained until
1S95 , when It removed to Des .Molnes. It
grow rapidly and larger quarters became
necessary. The work of the society Is In
many ways remarkable. It has never re
ceived a dollar from the state. Its work of I
recruiting homeless children Is carried on by j ,
district superintendents. iThe support comes
from private subscriptions. The society has
cared for 1,443 children , of whom 1,169 have '
been placed In good homes , sixty-one died ,
fourteen were placed In state Institutions ,
only forty-six became dissatisfied with their
homes of adoption. The ages of Inmates
vary from 2 to 11. No child Is kept , longer
than necessary to find him a suitable home.
The program today Included address. by
Judge Woodbrldge of Chicago , president of
the national society ; Mayor Smith of Dav
enport and Mayor 'MacVlcar of DCS Molncs. (
The latter characterized the society aa "the
greatest police force In Iowa. " i
After four houis deliberation , the Jury In
the case of John J. Long against the Trav
elers' Insurance company of Hartford today
returned a verdict that Long was not en
titled to the $3,000 Indemnity ho claimed for

Burlington Ilawkeye : The legislative
committee-men who have been Investigating
the state Institutions have carefully bhunned
publicity of their report by malting It of
great length.
Des Molnes Register : The system Is at
fault. Nine out of ten ot the shortcomings
which the report today will lay bare arc
duo to the system of administration. There
Is under the present management no head
nnd no icsponslblllty. The business of the
state Is done by a host of different men ,
men wlio come and go 'No ' private per
son or corporation wojld think of permit
ting such loose and endless methods. II
centralization of power was ever needcJ
It Is In the management of these widely
scattered Institutions.
Waterloo Reporter : This report brlngt.
the matter directly to the attention of the
public. It lajs bare the abuses that exlsl
and It suggests a remedy. The management
must bo centralized and government of the
institutions "must come from Influences
other than those which 'Immediately sur
round the several Institutions. " That Is the
judgment of the committee , which has de
voted months to a patient nnd thorough
Investigation of every pha'o of the ques
tion. Ignorance of conditions can no longer
bo pleaded , neither will there bo an excuse
for Indifference. With the f.icts so plainly
set forth the members of the general as
sembly cannot avoid the duty of acting
along the lines set forth In the report.
Des Molnes CapitalIt Is to the credit
of the people of the state that the commit
tee appointed by the Twenty-sixth general
assembly to examine and report upon the
condition of the various state Institutions
found no evidence of Intentional dishonesty
In the management of any state Institution.
Hero are sixteen Institutions , spending an
nually hundreds of thousands of dollars ,
and whllo the committee found little ex
travagances and occasional evidences of
mismanagement , careless bookkeeping , lack
of sjstem , etc. , It reports no defalcations ,
no stealings , no betrayals of trust. The
abuses which It reports against are the
result of years and the growth of a lack
of system and can bo easily corrected. The
committee report Is Intensely Interesting
and demonstrates that the committee did
Its work thoroughly and without fear or
favor.
