SIZE OF BUILDING CUT DOWN
Now High School Building is to Be 150 Feet
Long and 120 Feet Wide ,
COST IS TO BE KEPT WITHIN THE LIMIT

The new High school building to bo ,
erected on Oakland avenue will not be as '
largo as was nt first contemplated , as the
Board of Education has practically decided i
that the funds nt Its disposal will not permit )
It. According to the plans submitted by. .
some of the competing architects It was at
first thought that a building In the neighborhood -
borhood of 200 feet square could bo erected I
i
for the money that the board will have to !
spend. A building , however , of this size I '
would have exhausted the entire fund nt
disposal and left nothing with which to
equip the school.
The board now proposes to put up n
building with a frontage ot about IflO feet
long and 120 feet deep. This , It Is believed ,
will provide ample room for present needs
nnd the building will bo so constructed that
when occasion arises It can be added to
without marring the architectural effect of
the structure
In cutting down the size of the building
the main features of the Intoilor , as at first
decided on , will be maintained , although
there will be fewer rooms The b'llld a. ?
Is to consist of a sub-basement , bascmcin
proper , most of which will be above ground ,
nnd two stories above that. The subbasement -
basement will be used solely for containing
the heating pipes. In the basement proper
will be the armory or drill hall for the
cadets On the main or first floor the large
assembly hall will be located , where the
graduation and other school exercises are
to bo held In all there will be about
twenty rooms , Instead of twenty-four , as
at first proposed , The heating plant will
be placed , as originally decided , In a small
building at the rear of the main structure.
The outsldo design of the school house ,
while handsome , will be somewhat plain ,
as the board docs not Intend to lavish any
of the money on external ornamentation.
The design that the board has at present
In mind Is of a style severely classic , which
will glvo the building a decidedly hand
some and solid appearance.
The Oakland avenue piopeity , selected ns
the slto for the new High school house ,
will nflord a large campus on all four sides
of the building. The tract has a frontage
of 234 feet on Oakland and 227 on Scott
street on the west. On the south side ,
fronting on Ross street , the tract Is 308
feet , and on the north side , adjoining the
McKesson property , it is 313 feet. It will
thus be readily seen that a building 150x120
feet will leave a large space available for a
campus or playground. This the board in
tends to set out in trees and grass and the
grounds It Is expected will piebcnt a very
ornamental appearance
The cost of grading the lot will bo com
paratively small , as Contractor Wlckham.
who needs the dirt for the grade of the
Fort Dodge & Omaha railway , has made
the board a very advantageous offer and
as soon as the title to the property has
been secured In the school dlstilct a con
tract will be entered Into with him. Presi
dent Sims stated yestciday that It was most
fortunate to llnd a person who required thy
dirt , ns the grading would not cost more
than ? 300 or $400 The tract will not re-
qulrn much grading , about the only vvoik
necessary being the cutting off of thn crest ,
which will have to be loweicd some six feet
or so.
The selection of the Oakland avenue
property meets with almost universal favor
and those who formerly were opposed to
the school being located north of Broadway
have come to the conclusion that after all
the board chose for the host.
The special committee , consisting of the
president of the board and members Stewart
and Hess , has prepared a contract to be
entered Into with Schoentgen & Cox , the
architects , nnd It will bo submitted at the
next meeting of the board for approval.
The contract provides that the architects
shall draw the plans , prepare the specifica
tions and superintend the constiutclon.
The remuneration has not been decided on
and will not be until the board meets , but
it will bo . - < given per cent of the contract
price. Several other architects who weiu
bidders for the work offered to do It for
2'A per cent and it Is presumed that this
will be about the figure th.U will be al
lowed Schoentgen & Cox

.Mayor Victor Jennings and the eight mem

torday morning In the district court .IB the
clock struck ! ) ,10 to aiih\ver before Judge
Smith why they should not bo deemed guilty
of contempt of court on complaint of J , J.
Shea. City Attorney Wadsworth
was pre
pared to mnko n show Inn to the court tint
the major and LomiLllmon had not violated J
the decree of Judge Towner In the suit of
Shea against the City of Council lllulTs.
Judge Smith , however , was bnsj In try-
Ins the Larlson divorce case and both sides

on behalf of the nm > ur nnd councllmen ,
promised that no further atejis would be

Ananswer to the Information charging
the mayor nnd counclltnen with contempt
of court was illcd yesterday morning by
the city solicitor. In the first place the
city olllcliils admit passing the resolution
providing for the refunding of the outstand
ing general and water fund warrants , but
claim that In the decree and opinion ot

the t'lty of Council Ulutts , which had boon
pirt of the records of the tourt , said water
fund and general fund warrants wore
deemed to be valid outstanding Indebtedness

It la further fct up that the action ol

junction granted In the case of Shea against

that the mnvor and members of the coun

with without being flrat advl od by coun

In conclusion , It Is asked that the In

The police secured evidence ycstcrdny
evening which H.itlsdcd them that they only
mlesed capturing the desperado who at
tempted to rob the State Savings bnnx
Tuesday afternoon bv n mere elmncc. A
few minutes nfter Assistant Cashier Browt *
had been shot nnd tile bandit had made his
cfccapo from the bank through the alloy nt
the rear the ery was talsed that the fellow
had been seen to enter the cellar of n va
cant building fronting on Fourth street.
Chief Illxby. accompanied by nn officer ,
lushed from the bank to the liouse named
and icvolver In hand made n searcli of the
cellar of the building whore It was Raid
the follow was hiding The search , how-
ever , failed to reveal the dcpcrado. The
building In question Is nn old one-story
flame structure owed by D. C. Bloomer ana
wan formerly occupied by n man named
Jensen ns a carpenter Miop. From the cel
lar entrance to the shop could be had by n
hole In the floor. The bandit evidently
found this hole nnd gained the street by
climbing through the broken window in
front.
Last evening two small bovs playing In
the building found an old mackintosh coat ,
n new cloth cap and n Htcel chain on thu
floor"behind a door. There seems to bo lit
tle doubt that both the mackintosh and the
cap belonged to the man who nttompted .to
rob the bank. In the pocket ot the mack
intosh were two 3S-callber Smith & Wes
son cartridges , the bullets of which art-
Identical with the ones picked up In the
bank nftcr the fusillade Most of the de
scriptions given of the man ns ho was seen
to run down the allev had dim wearing a
dark mackintosh , and Mr Blown also do
(
I scribed him ns wearing either a long ovei-
' roat or n dark mackintosh. The cartridges
In the pocket however , stem to be almost
positive proof that It was the garment woin
by the desperado
The cap Is a cheap cloth affair of n rather
light drab colot and IB quite new. The
mackintosh Is old. worn and torn In places.
Ilie chain Is such as fanners frequently
use to place around a gripsack. At ono end
of It a key was attached.
\ i air of cho.i'i binoked spectacles were
found In the alley a thort distance from the
anlThsso are believed to have been
thrown away by the bandit as he rushed
from the yard at the reni of the bink. Sev
eral persons who saw the man through the
window from Uiondvvay elated he wore
glasses , but Mr Brown said ho could not
remember whether the fellow did or not.
It now looks ns If the attempt to rob the
bank was a deep laid plan of probably two
professional crooks and that they had pre
viously investigated the surroundings and
had thoroughly learned the lay of the land
ho as to easily make good their escape after
the hue and cry had been raised. It is now-
thought they were aware of the vacant
building where the mackintosh was found
and had arranged to use It as place to throw
off their dlHgnlscs. The police think it not
at all Improbable that the fellow was In the
building while they were searching the
cellar
All but three of the suspects gathered In
Tuesday night were let go yesterday mornIng -
Ing The three men who are still In custody
pending Investigation gave the names of
lohn Magnlro , C. P. Walker and L W
Browncll. None of the three , however , is
thought to have beeu Implicated In the rob
bery.
Chief Blxby received word from the mai-
shal at MInden yesterday morning thnt three
mon , ono of whom answered the description
of tlie fellow who shot Mr. Brown , had been
arrested theio for stealing clothing from one
of the stores recently burned Chief Blxby
went to MInden and last evening brought
the tineo men 1 > ack with him , as they had
each been sentenced to ten days In the
county jail hero These three men reached
'Mlndin ' early yesterday morning and were
shortly after arrested for stealing So far
neither of them ha been Identified as the
man wanted , and It Is not believed that
either of them is the man who attempted to
rob the bank heie.
Mr Brown , except for the pain of thu
wound In his arm. was feeling little the
worse yesterday foi the expedience he had
undergone , and he expects to IK ! uble to re-
sumu his place at the hank In a few days
The dlic'ctora of thu bank held a meeting
last night nnd decided to offer a ivward of
$500 for the capture of the man who hot
Mr. Brown.

Supervisor Avery has Inaugurated a sys
tem of cleaning nnd repairing nt the same
tlmo the streets paved with cedar blocks
thnt Is being subjected to severe criticism.
Ills plan Is to have nil the dltt ntid refuse
matter that has collected during the winter
along the curbing nug out and scattered
over the street wherever theic la a hole.
As mnaC ot the stuff dug out from the gut
ters Is manure and similar refuse , the icsl-
dents along the streets BO treated are pro
testing and Insist that the stun , bhould be
hauled away nnd not used to fill tip holes.
They claim that as soon as the stuff be
comes dry the first wind that comes along
will blow It all with attending bacilli nnd
disease germs Into their houses. Complaint
was made yesterday to Mayor Jennings , but
no steps were taken to stop the work ,
although the mayor himself stated ho
thought the plan was n bad ono from n
sanitary view. Alderman Casper , chairman
of the streets and alleys committee , said
he thought Stiect Supervisor Avery's scheme
was a good and economical one. as It saved
the city the expense of hauling the dirt
away and at least temporarily filled up the
holes In the streets. The streets so far
"repaired" are Bryant nnd North Main.

mS : MOIN'KS. April in. ( Special Tele-
ram. ) The famous ea ° o of the State of
own against ex-Pecretary of State MeKnr-
ninl to recover $ * > , eon came on for trial
odny. A Jury was selected and the state
iojnn the presentation of the e.ise , Attorney
General Ilcmloy roprearntlUK the state. The
aso Is ono of the most sensational ever
jrouRht In Iowa. It prow out of the fa
mous scandal connected with the publlca-
lon of the last Iowa census , which was the
alK of the town durliiK the winter of IS'iC.
\t that lime the newspapers of the state
sere 11 lied with the stories of ex-Secretary
of State McPailand's methods of doliiR 'otno
> lnds of business , partlouluilj the rumplU-
lon of the Iowa census , In which he was
aliened to have mulcted largo sums from
; lerKs who did the work and not only this ,
nit that during a portion of the tlmo sov-
ral clerks drew compensation as employes
n the secretary of state's olllco as well as
census clerks.
McKnrlnnd asked that the case bo brought
ip this week , statliiR that he ileslred to
get It off his hands before ho leaves for the
Clnndlko region , where he Is said to bo
going within a week or two A Hrgo num-
icr of witnosies h.ivo been summoned for
ho state , whleh ospeda to pro\o se\cial
charges against the defendant. Most of the
witnesses wore census clerks but a few
which ha\e been Mitnmoned were not. O.ip-
taln hamlets ofVohster ( Mty , cloik of the
executive council under MeKurlnnd , one of
hn chief witnesses before the Investigation
committee , will be ono of the chief witnesses
at the tilnl.
Supoilntondcnt Abrams of the Antl-Siloon
aRiio will arrhu In the city tomorrow.
It Is expected that \\lthln twenty-four hours
the ball nRalnst the saloons will be started
lolling. A number of the members of the
league were seen this mot nine They arc
sanguine anil declare that the Inference
Riven out that they have taken back water
Is all bluff. They are determined and from
their talk will at once Inaugurate n fight
against the saloons. It has been given out
by the baleen men that this fight would
not be started until a decision of the case
against I.oieiu III , now pending in the
fcilpiema coilit. Is settled. Theio Is at this
tlmo no hope for the case being advanced
on the calendar and the league Intends to
disregard that case and go ahead with the
piescnt one.
Papers In a big damage suit were filed
today. The Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific
railold ] Is made the defendant In an action
