Tho Oakland nvenue site, while It did not receive a majority over all the voles east, secured nearly double that cast for cither of tho two other locutions submitted to tho electors. The voto between Sargent, republican, and Macrae, democrat, for school director wa3 close, Sargent receiving thirty-four morn than Macrae. Rain, the second candidato on tho democratic ticket, managed to beat Shugart. the second candidate on the repub lican ticket, by sixty-two votes. The con test for treasurer was i ncck-and-neck raco and resulted In W. B, Hnverstock, the re publican candidate, winning out by one voto. It Is expected that tho defeated democratic candidate, Ocorgn S. Davis, will demand a recount of tho ntc. Tho High nehool slto proposition brought out a big vote and as has been confidently expected by Its unnortcrs the Oakland aventio, location received 1,368 votes, as against 'Si for the old High school, and SOD tor tno west or Main street nnd south of Utoadwav sites. The total vnli run! on thn High school site propositions was 3,001, only ninety-live, votes 1cm than were cast on tho regular ticket ifor school directors. U. M. Sargent and Dr. Don Macrae, Jr., suc ceed Jacob Sims, republican, and William Mooro, democrat, on tho Board of Educa tion. Thus the political complexion of tho board will not bo changed. The nr-w board, will bo composed as follows: Republicans, Swalno, Hess, Henry, Sargent; democrats, Cooper. Stewart and Macrae. Sllf l'roionll Ions I'nrnmonnt. Whilo an average voto was cast on the regular tickets, thero appeared to be but llttlo Interest In tho election of school di rectors as compared with the slto proposi tions. From tho moment the, polls opened at !) o'clock tho adherents of the sites wero astir and kept "plugging" for their rcspectlvo locations until thn iat "ballot was cast and tho polio declared closed at i o clock p. m. Tho voters In tho First precinct, -which comprised tho First ward and contiguous territory outside, was divided between tho Oakland avenue site and the old High school property, tho proposition to locate tho school wcot of Main street nnd south of Broadway receiving but ten votes. In tho Second pre rlnet, which consisted of tho Second ward, Oakland avenuo received over 600 votes, whllo tho othsr two sites secured but elghty nlno between them. In the Third nrwinri consisting of tho Third ward and First pre cinct or tho Fourth, tho voto was much di vided. The First precinct of tha Third ward pcrplo voted .for Oakland avenue, while tho Second precinct people divided their ballots between tho old High school nnd tho west of Main street nnd outh of Broadway prop osition. Tho Fourth warders were' for the south of Broadway site almost to a man. In tho Fifth precinct the south of Broad way nnd west of Main street proposition secured tho largest vote, tho other two sites receiving but elghty-ono botwecn them. Tho Fifth precinct, consisting of tho Sixth ward, was almost equally divided as be tween Oakland avenuo against the other two sites, tho first receiving 132, against twenty-eight for tho old High school nnd nlnety flvc for the Broadway and Main street nron- ooltlon. What effect this exnrrlnn nf tho voters' preference will have on the action of tho Hoard of Kducatlon In locating tho High school remains to be seen. Tho popularity of Dr. Don. Macrae, Jr., gained by his devotion to the members of tho Iowa volunteers in tho Philippines, made his election nn almost foregone conclu sion.

HES MOINES, March 12 (Special Tele gram. J One of tho most important pieces of legislation beforo tho present Iowa legls latino was enacted by tho scnato today. It Is a bill pertaining to the question of municipal Indebtedness and fixes the limit of such Indebtedness In tho future at l'.i per cent of tho actual value of property In cities or towns returned by the labt tax list. When tho revenue laws of Iowa were re vised two years ago It wan provided that property must bo listed ht its actual cash value, 25 per cent cf this to ho the taxntlon basin. Tho constitution says that cltlcj, towns nnd counties shall not Incur indebted ncM to exceed 5 per cent of the value of their property, which is taken to mean the cash value. Under the old revenue law this wns 5 per cent of an assessed value, which, while purporting to bo a ensh value, averaged about 20 per vent of real value. Rut with the real cash vuluo secured, as it Is supposed to he by the new law, the limit of debt would bo raised to four or flvo times what it formerly was. To avoid this thero was put In tho code section 1306, limiting tho debt to tho aver age for 1897 and 1S!)S. This wns Intended as a temporary expedient until tho workings of tho now rovenuo laws could bo seen. Towns which aro entitled to Increase their debt above tho average of 1S97 and 189S, including Council Hluffs among tho number, hao been clamoring to get this restriction removed, so they can make Improvements; but other towns have feared to have tho change made lest extravagant councils might go too far. A bill was Introduced to repeal section 1.106 nnd leave the matter open, but tho senato committee on cities nnd towns reported a substitute for the section fixing the one nnd one-fourth limit above men tioned, nnd this passed today. It will un questionably go through tho house also. liiUe ii( IIoiimo Hxpensr. Attorney T. R. Hanley of Tipton, ono of tho Jokers of Cedar county, caused a laugh In tho upper body of tho legislature today. Senator Mofflt, whoso constituent Mr. Han ley is, In nil seriousness presented a letter from Mr. Hanley In which tho latter Jocosely protested ngainst tho passing of tho building and loan bill beforo tho senate, declaring that ho hnd $3,000 paid-up building and loan stock and ho did not know what It would bo worth if this 1)111 passed. Besides that, he thought the present legislature rather a dangerous ono and believed the sooner It ad journed tho better It would bo for the great state of Iowa. Senator Hazclton introduced a bill today providing for tho use of voting machines In Iowa. It went to tho commltteo on elections. Several commltteo reports wero submitted to the senate this morning. The bill to allow stato and savings, banks and loan and trust companies to act' as administrators, similar to the ono killed" by the house Saturday, was recommended for Indefinite postpone ment and tho report adopted. Tho landlord and tenant bill, over which the senate lougbt two or three days, and which was re-rcferred several times, was reported for Indefinite postponement by tho Judiciary commltleo and the report adopted. It is the ono providing for recording farm loans to protect the innocent purchaser of grain. Tho military committee reported favorably tho bill rovlslng tho military code of Iowa, which has already passed tho house. Tho hill for tho establishment of a re formatory for women at Anamosa was ro ported by tho appropriations commltteo and referred to tho Judiciary committee. Tho bill to legnllzo tho mulct saloon peti tions In force In tho state slnco 1897 was mado a special order for Wcdnosday at 10 ! o'clock. Whether or not It ought to tie a misde meanor for an attorney to practice law In Iowa beforo first 'being admitted to tho bar was discussed by tho senato this morning and decided in tho negative. Senator Hobart had a bill making this provision particularly In tho Interests of suppressing certain offi cials who pose as legal advisers. It looked for n whllo as though the measure would pass, but when Senator Jtinkln made a strong speech calling attention to the fact that often attornoys from other states come Into Iowa to practice nnd must wait some months beforo being admitted to the bar, and under this law would havo to forego practico for some time, It was tabled. The Des Moines river bill passed tho house. SMOOTH SWINDLER CAUGHT A. II. .InlniHon In Arrested In Des MnlncM by Tno Detective from St. I.oul. rB3 MOINES, March 12. (Special Tele gram.) 'A. P..

Carrlngton of St. Louis, yesterday, Just as he and an nllegcd brother, giving hlB name ns Olaf B. Anderson, wero taking tbo Rock Island train for Omaha, Johnson Is believed to be one of the most notorious swindlers In tho United States, Tho immediate crime upon which his arrest wus based was ho forgery of $2,500 In chocks against St. Louis banks. He ap parently gavo up when tho great array of evidence tevured by tho detectives was made known to him, and agreed to go to St. Louis for trial without demanding tho Is suance of requisition papers. He left for St. Louis Inst evening In charge of Detec tive Carrlngton. On January R last a $2,000 draft was mailed from Dayton, O., to St. Louis. It was mado pnyablo to Charles E. Drown, caBhler of tho Eleventh Ward National bank of New York City. On January 0 C. E. Rrown rented offices In St. Louis, and on January 11 ho called on a bank there and deposited tho draft. A fow days later he called and wanted to realize n few hundred dollars on it. The hank rofuscd. He flashed a pass book which was on the Merchants' Nntlonal bank of Kansas City to show ho wns good, but was ngaln refused the cash. Ho took the draft to another bank, In which ho dcposltod $192 ns well as the druft. nnd later made out two checks for $4,500 and $i00, got tho cash and disappeared. He had erased the word "cashier" on the draft. Ho also took nil effects from his offices. When tho bank discovered that tho draft was not good they turned tho matter over to tho detectives. His operations are sup posed to havo notted him hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and although be Is hut AS I years of ago, ho Is reckoned one of the smoothest men In tho profession.
