The city administration Is considering
anxiously the possibility of socurloi ; posses-
slot ) of the taxes resulting from the levy of
1 mill for the county road fund. Under the
old law this tax , which Is assessed upon all
of tlio property throughout the county , has
been exclusively under the control of the
Bojrd of County Supervisors. For many
years , and until a year ago , the practice hao
been to apportion this tax equally among
the townships throughout the county , where
It was expended In roadworklng In the eld
primitive way. 'Last year the board under
took to sot It all apart for a special road
fund to be used In the construction of per
manent highways throughout the county.
Ncarli $20,000 was expended In this way
and some valuable roadmaklng machinery
purchased , Including heavy rollers and a
twelvc-horso power grader. Several miles of
fine roadway was made and the board has
been anxious to continue this work. A pro
vision of the new law , lion ever , makes It
necessary for the expenditure of all of this
fund realized from taxes l-.i cltlea and In
corporated towns within the limits of those
towns. The county boarl has been endeavor
ing to get the consent of the city council to
use all the fund collected In Council muffs
for the jmrpose ot improving the highways
leading Into the city. The law directs that
the money may bo expended under the direc
tion of the city council and paid out by the
Beard of Supervisors upon orJcrs for work
actually done. Neither the county board nor
the city council has suggested a compromise ,
and both are after the fund. At the last
meeting of the council a committee was ap-
pol-.itod to wait upon the board for the pur
pose of reaching an agreement by which the
fund shall be turned over to the city. The
board at the last meeting also discussed a
proposition to submit to the coun
cil that would permit the ex
penditure of the money on the
country roads. The board meets In special
adjoutnsd session on Tuesday and the two
committees will hold a conference. The fund
will amount to about $5,000 ana If the city
can secure possession of It for expenditure
on the streets It will be a material help to
the fund fixed by the appropriation ordi
nance , which amouots to but $ S,000 for the
street expenses for the entire year.

.A iu\\ixa MILL op ii n ASS.
VnnilnlM lliiln Fine Machinery to Gain
n Few Dollar * .
3. A. Murphy , the contractor and builder ,
made the discovery yesterday that his plan-
Ing mill on Second avenue had been broken
Into by thieves and property valued at
nearly $200 taken. The mill has not been
running for some time , and as a protection
the assaults ot thieves and vandals
all of the outer doors have been double
barred and bolted. Despite these precau
tlons several times th's spring the mill has
been broken open , but no damage was done
until the last time. Mr. Murphy visited the
mill yesterday morning and found the engine
room door had been battered In and the
whole mill machinery stripped ot all of the
brass castings and trimmings. The mill has
about $3,030 worth of flno woodworking ma
chinery In It , and many of the planers , saws
and lathes had brass boxings. These had
been unscrewed where It was possible and
where It was not they bad been broken oft
with hammers and carried away. Mr. Mur
phy hastened , to the police station to report
the condition things were In , and was shown
a largo quantity ot the stolen braes which
the police dad taken from a second-hand
etoro where It dad been sold by a couple of
boys. He Identified about $175 worth of the
stuff , which had been torn from machinery
valued at hundreds of dollars.
The police acted quickly and placed two ot
the supposed thieves under arrest. They
were Floyd Chatfleld , a 19-year-old boy ,
whCBO father Is a horse trader with headquar
ters In Omaha. The otter was a young man
named Frank Jones , who Is well known to
the police and has recently completed a sen
tence. In the eta to penitentiary for his con
nection with a burglary of a Main street shoe
store. Both gave the name of a third young
man whom they declared was the real cul
prit. The only direct connection that could
bo established between Jones and the crime
was bis sale of a part ot the braes to Cher-
nits' second-hand store. Ho claimed that
Cbt'tflcld and the other boy stopped at a
small plumbing shop he Is running and gave
him the piece of brass , which ho concluded
to take after being assured by them that It
had not been stolen. Chatfleld asserts that
the ether boy had the stuff concealed and
called upon him to help sell It. .
All of the expensive braes fittings hid
been purposely ruined by blows from sledge I
hamtncro. The boys sold the stuff for 5 cents
a pound and realized only a few dollars.

ChnnBi'D nt tlie City Jail.
Bomo Important changes will eoon be made
In the arrangement of the offices and physi
cal machinery of the police department. The
addition that was built to the city Jail build
ing two years ago at a cost of several hun
dred dollars for the use of the electric ap-
aratus In connection with police call system ,
will bo abandoned and devoted to the use
for which the building was originally in
tended , the quarters and officeof the jailor
and the city prison. The flno suite ot offices
that was constructed In the police patrol
house when Mayor ( Macrae wau In power
will again bo used. The original motive
fop closing three offices and placing the police
sergeants In the jail building was to rave
the salary of ono man by making the night
and day sergeants do , the -work of the jailor.
The plan worked very well , but It had the
die-advantage of making all of the police busi
ness exceedingly public. The .telephones were I ,
ou the desks where all of the police court
loungers could hear all that was said when
the officers had occasion to ure the 'phones
for Important business. All of the apparatus
will bo taken back to the comfortable room
on the second floor of the patrol house and
only the jailor will use the quarters at pres
ent occupied. The changes will t > o made
within a few days.

War Declared on Spain.
Cclly Hough had the honor last night of
having the first battle with a Spaniard , and ,
ae In numerous other similar encounters ho
has had , ho won a signal victory. The
Spaniard Is a husky fellow who has been cm-
ployed by Meneray Brothers at Crescent. He
' was born In Spain , he sajs , and has never
taken out ht.i naturalization papers. Yester
day ho drew his money , threw up his Job
and made preparations to leave the country ,
He I came to Council Bluffs and fell Into the
company of Celly and a few moro choice
eplrltfl who were willing to drink hearty
farewells to him. In the course of the evenIng -
Ing war was declared and hostilities comc
menced. Cclly's attack was'vigorous and de-
clslvo and the defeat of the Spaniard ended
In a rout. After the surrender , Celly took
an Inventory of the enemy'a property and
found among other things a gold watch , and ,
the ' Don alleges , $30 In ccsh. TCirso were
regarded ' ua Vic legitimate spoils of victory
and were appropriated by the victor. The
Spaniard , who Eajs the English of his name
ls William Farrlngton , was at the police
station seeking ttio Resistance of the blue
coats to recover his property. An Investiga
tion showed that the Spaniard had spent
his money In the saloons tnd the watch
had been turned over to ono of Hough's
friends ) , to be returned to the owner this
mcrnlng. The police refused to arrest Hough.

DBS MOINES , April 22. ( Special. ) The
annual report of the state dairy commis
sioner , W. K. Boardman , will soon be dis
tributed. The report makes a fine showing
for f . the dairy Industry of the state. Among
the interesting end significant.facts brought
out 1 * that the value of creamery property
tins I decreased $500,000 during the year end
ing | Juno 30 , 1807 , notwithstanding the In
crease of eighty-one In number of cream
eries. Tills , says CommlKiloner Doardmarv ,
Indicates ' the emancipation ot creamery
builders I from the "creamery shark , " the fel
low | who went around orgtnlzlng creamery
companies , and contracting to put up the
creamery , and equip It at a very high price.
Farmers i desiring . to build co-opcratlvo
creameries have been learning hbw badly
Itley were swindled by theao speculators , aad
have quit patronizing them. The prices cf
creamery mach'ncry hove gone down and the
cost of erecting the buildings has been ro-
dticcd to a 'b'oslncsij bai'ls , so the value of
the- creameries has boon estimated for this
report at what It would ccat to replace them ,
which for the 773 cre-amerlcs and 118 eklm
stations Is $2,550,149. The rcporta show that
the average Iowa creamery to operated 10.2
months In the year aad that they average
113 patroro each , owning 9C4 cows , or 8.5
cows to each patron. Compared to 1S96 , this
shows an lncrc3S9 of 9,049 patreas and 78,847
cows. Basing hs ! estltr.'ite on reports aclu-
a ! > y received from 447 separator creameries ,
Mr. Boardman
estimates the average re
ceipts of milk In the separator creameries
of Iowa at 2,442,225 pounda , and ca average
production of 109,911 poun/Js / of butter , which
would show a totil for the 705 separator
creameries of 1,722,721,125 pounds of milk
and 77,4S7,2B5 pound.s of butter , an average
of 22.2 pounds of milk to the pound of butter.
Adding to this the total of the gathered
cream plants and the total production of
creamery butter In the state Is 88,999,335
pounds , of which only 10 per cent is con
sumed in the slate.
WHERE. THE BUTTER GOES.

BUTTER PRICES.
Prices on the New York market have been
going down since 1&93 , when the average
price oald during the twelve months ending
November 1 was $ .2776 per pound. The
price had Increased during the two years before -
fore that , but last year It was only $ .1885 , a
slight fraction higher than 1896. Commis
sioner Boardman thinks the price will never
go us low again , but will be Increased from
a variety of causes , such as better times ,
greater demand for export and suppression
of the sale of bogus butter. The passage of
the anti-color law , which prohibits the color-
Ins of oleomargarine In Imitation of butter
and makes Its necessary to sell It for just
what It Is , has shut off the sale of oleomar-
carlno In Iowa , and not a single Internal
revenue license for.Its sale has been issued
In the state for three years. This helps the
butter market at home and abroad. James
Wilson , secretary of agriculture , has also
done a good deal to find.a market for Amer
ican butter abroad. His experimental sales
In the English markets last year have borne
good fruit. It Is Mr. Wilson's idea that what
the American farmer most needs is an out
let , not schemes to add to his productive
facilities. So the national Department of
Agriculture Is pushing Into new fields to
demonstrate what the American farmer has
to sell that the. people of the world can use
to better advantage than what they arc now
using.
Tbo creamery business ban been stimu
lated , also , by the rigid law requiring milk
testing machines to be officially tested at the
dairy department of the State Agricultural
college. Every creamery must do this and

and the machine found correct. The milk
measure and test bottles used by creameries
in determining the amount of butter fat lu
milk must be procured from the state dairy
commissioner , who sells them to the cream
eries at cost , gives full Instructions for their
use and sends a certificate of their accuracy
with each one. All this gives the patrons of
the creameries more confidence that they
are getting all their milk la worth , while
heretofore they have sometimes been
cheated.
BETTER COWS.
Mr. Boardman makes some Interesting ob
servations upon the statistics ho has gath
ered in regard to the patrons ot the cream
eries and the cows that furnkb the milk.
Ho says : "The addlttcnal number of cows
contributing to the production of milk to be
manufactured Into butter at our creameries
Is made up from two fclasses of farmers.
One that has not been' cngaged In the dairy
business heretofore , 'hnd the other that has , i
manufactured butter on .the farm. Thus the
creamery system is fust decreasing the quan
tity of butter manufactured on the farm , and
by modern Improvements Is Increasing the
quantity as well as. the quality of butter
throughout the sections that have been with
out creameries hitherto. : AS the number of
caws has not matcrllf ) ! increased In those
soctlons of the statq lyhere the creamery

general increase In , production has taken
place , this lncrcasejnuit be attributed to

Wild Time at Lend City.
LEAD CITY , S. D. , April 22. ( Special
Telegram. ) One of the greatest demonstra
tions ! ever witnessed In the west occurred
lest night In this city. A number ot the
leading young men for sport burned General
Weyler in effigy. The spirit of the event
spread over the entire city and business was
temporarily suspended and the streets were
crowded 'by ' the people. Two brass bands
wore out for the occasion. Weyler was
made from an old suit of clothes and was
strung up to a telephone pole on vMaln street
and burned. An Australian who said too
much in favor of Spain was stabbed by an
Italian. The populace waa wild for a time.
There is

is to come squarely

If you are sick or
half sick , the best
course is not to neg

Sretend that it

find the proper rem
edy and use it
A bilious , dyspep
tic condition of the
system not only makes life miserable , but
it is sure to lead to something worse , unless
promptly taken in' hand and corrected. It
is foolish to attempt to dodge Bitch troubles
by any mere temporary expedient. The
only sensible way is to get rid of them for
good and all by a thoroughly rational , scien
tific medicine like Dr. Picrce's Golden Med
ical Discovery.
It cures all disordered , debilitated condi
tions by its direct action upon the liver and
digestive organs ; it gives them power to
make fresh , healthy blood free from bilious
impurities ; it drives all discasc-gcnns out
of the circulation ; it creates solid , muscular
flesh and constitutional power.
Lung and throat affections , which arc
often simply the result of impaired nutri
tion , are reached and cured by this wonder
ful Discovery" in cases where cod liver
oil emulsions are useless , because the " Dis
covery" is readily assimilated by delicate
stomachs. It is far superior to malt ex
tracts , because its beneficial effects are
permanent. C
"Dr. Pierce , I am one of your most grateful
patients , " writes Mrs. Annie M. Norman , of
Kqulnuak , Wayue Co. , Pa. "I have tnken
'Golden Medical Discovery'al o 'Favorite Pre
scription' nnd 'Pellets' with wonderful results. 1
I am , ns many of my friends tell me , like the
dead brought to life. The doctors Bald I had
consumption and death WAS only a matter of
time. That was six ycnrfl ago. I concluded to
try your medicine. I continued until I had taken
nine bottles of 'Discovery' and ncvcrnl bottles
of ' Pellet * . ' I got well and have done a great
deal of hard work since. "
When the liver nnd bowels don't work ,
the body and brain won't. Dr. Plerce's
Pleasant Pellets are n sure , nafe , speedy
and permanent cure for constipation , and
a torpid liver. One "Pellet" is a gentle
laxative and two a mild cathartic.
