I'oltawattumlu MEKONG OF LIBRARY BOARD Member Baird is Persistent and Scores His Point. BOOKS FOR THE PRISONERS IN THE JAIL Mlirnrlnn I" Ordered in One llnnilri'il niul Thirty V l UIIICH of N MT Slntulanl Lltrriilurc- . At the meeting of the Board ot Trustcct library yesterday afternoon of Iho public Mcmbor Balrd brought up the matter ol reading mailer lc the library furnishing the prisoners In the county nnd city Jails , It has been the custom for years past foi the librarian to distribute among the hos pitals of the city magazines nnd periodicals as soon as withdrawn from general circu lation. Member Bnlrd believed that some of them should bo sent to the prisoner * In the county and clly Jails. Slnco bolliK appointed on the Board of Trustees he hat received several requests from the county Jail thai reading mailer ho furnished Ihc prisoners there. The supplying of the prisoners mutter such as the oners with reading magazines and periodicals will prove In hit opinion a direct benefit to the public nt tend lo mnko boiler clll- large , ns It will zciis of Iho Inmalcs of Iheso Jails. Miss Peterson , Iho librarian , slated that her experience had been that In order to got the marines to the prisonorB they will have to bo presented lo the jail authorlllos " been offered have on "a silver plale. Books fered for Ihe use of prisoners , but no one cares lo lake Iho trouble to come for them. Mr. Balrd said If the bonrd will authorize the dlstrlbuliou ho will see to It poraonnlly that the books reach Iho prisoners. Ho carried his point nnd Ihe distribution was authorized. Another matter that brought forth con siderable discussion was that ot the Insur ance on the library. Al presenl the library is Insured for $13,500 , the policies belug carried In nine different companies. Six ol these policies came up for renewal yester day and Judge Walter 1. Smith suggested thai Iho amount of the Insurance bo re duced to nine policies of $1,200 each , mak ing In nil $10,800 , which ho believed to be ample. The reduction in the Insurance was opposed by Member Ilohrer , and on Ihe motion being put to the vole It was lost and Iho policies at Iho old amount were ordered renewed. Chairman Edmunson of the book commit tee submitted a list of new books for pur chase , amounting to $227. President Bloomer objected to several books on the list , cosllng from $5 to $10 each , which In its opinion the library Is. unable to afford In the present condition' of Its finances. After some discussion "A Trip Through Asia , " at $10 , was struck from the list , but the others were allowed lo go through and the librarian was Instructed to order them. The llsl conlalns about 130 books , twenty- four of which are works of fiction and thirty for children , while the rest arc works of travel , essays , biography and sci ence. Complaint has been made thai persons are in the habit of monopolizing the dally liapers to the exclusion of other patrons jf the library and It was decided to pur chase a standing desk on which the papers will hereafter bo filed , This , It IB believed , If the party has to stand to road them , will tend lo discourage certain persons from Ihc tiablt which they have contrncled. The report of the librarian for January showed the following : Total visitors , ! ) ,320 ; visitors on Sundays , 291 ; registered booh takers , 8,073 ; books taken , 7,450. The books taken wore classified as follows : Philoso phy , 159 ; theology , 12S ; natural science , 549 ; llctlon , 4,274 ; poetry and essays , .ill ; hls- lory and biography , 750 ; travels , C52 , and magazines , 602.

Done Avllli Hit * I'rixM-oillimr. The sheriff's jury thai was to have rnct yesterday morning to nppraino property north of the city condemned for right ol way by the Fort Dodge & Omaha railway adjourned to Alarch 1 on account ot the Illness of W. , H. M. Pusoy nnd T. J. Evans , two members of the Jury. The details of the settlement between the Kort Dodge & Omaha railway and A. < } , and E. J , Gilbert wore completed yesterday and conveyances of the property required by the railway company for right of way wore filed for rccnrd In the olllco of the county recorder. The conveyance not only Includes the flvo acres of land owned by Ollbert Bros , near Bitrket place , hut alsc their grant of a right of way over Uiuli leasehold in Lakovlow park. The consider ation named Is $7,500. This settlement gives the Fort Dodge & Omaha road now a clear track for Its rlghl of way , excepting a few lots abutting or the avenues vacated by tlio city , which the railroad is compelled to acquire through condemnation proceedings , owing to Bllghi defects In the title. The acquiring by the now railroad of Its right of way created a real estalo boom Ir Iho district through which Its line will run nnd property owners wore able to dispose of their holdings nt figures they nevei could have expected under other circum stances. Tliis does not mean , however , thai the Fort Dodge & Omaha 'was "held up" for extravagant prices , but the value of the property naturally took un upward turn when It became known that the rnllroail wanted It. The representatives of the railway - way are well satisfied with the price thoj had to pay , and real estate men say the road on the whole acquired Its property al reasonable figures , This Is duo , however , to n great extent to the fact that an agonl of the new road bought a largo percentage of the ground before It hocamo known that the purchases iwero being made In the In terests of the Kort Dodge & Omaha rail road. When the fact became public prop erty real e tatc In the viclulty of the pro poned right of way acquired an Increased value. The entrance of the railway intc this city has ( been u great boon to many t property owner who had almost despaired of ever feeing able to dispose of his hold ings and the annual taxes on which wore proving a heavy burden. liiitln > riiii Mlulxti-rN Icl. .

DCS Molnea Register ; It Is now certain that there will bo a large field ot candi dates for itho supreme judge-ship before the republican state convention. The Iowa dis trict courtn are noted for their manj capable and elnciont judges , and it Is onlj natural thai they should have a. desire foi service In the highest court of Ihe state , therefore- Is probable that the number of candidates for judgeshlps will increase each year. Judge Fee has many active and Influential friends and they have begun an energetic campaign to secure his nomina tion , and the state will bo well served If hi la elected a member of the supreme court.
