In view of tho decreased assessed val

selves of the law as amended at the recent
session of tho state legislature and ask
for a levy of V.i mills In placo of 1 mill levy
heretofore assessed for library purposes. The
law watt amended co as to enable cities of
tho first class to levy 2 mills If deemed
necessary for public library purposes. Tho
matter was brought befora tho board by
President Rohrer, who, In a detailed written
statement, showed that a levy of 1 mill
would bo Insulllclcnt to maintain the library
under tho present ducroascd assessed valua
tion ot tho city. Ills statement In part

Rv reference to the nnnual reports ot tho
board It will be noticed that the Income
during tho past eight years derived from

averaging over J1.G00.

in view or tno anovo racts. wnicn snow
that tho income of tho library has been
reduced from $5,000 to $3,000 per annum. 1
would recommend tnnt tne board avail tno
rending public of the benefit of tho law
inssud at the last session of the leglslnturo
y certifying to tho city council a levy
of one and one-half mills on tho present
assessed valuation of tho city, which will
produce an approximate annual income of
$4,500.
Tho levy will havo to bo certified up to
tho city council for its npproval by the
board before tho meeting In August, at
which tlmo tho council fixes tho levy for
thu following year.
An Interesting feature of yesterday's meet
ing of the board was tho report presented
by Mrs. M. K. Dalley of her recent trip to
Montreal, Canada, whero sho attended the
annual convention of the American Library
association. Among other things she Eald:
Tho children's room seems tn hn nn of
the very lmportnnt features of the library
of today. In n creat manv of tho libraries
thuy not only get up amusement In tho way
oi insirucuvo pictures ami DUiieiins, nut
they have tho attendant tell stories and In
others they employ regular klndorgartners
wno give them instruction in that line. In
many libraries thoy evon have lavatories,
whero they can see that children w.nh if
they come with hands unclean, this being
one way inai is laacn to icacn in care or
bonks.
Tho HiibJect of catalOKlnu and of co-oDer-
imvo uiiiaioning was mucn aiscusxou Willi
tho result that the American Library asso
ciation will get out printed cards from
which any library can soleut what It nuedH
nnu uy tins means save much time and
labor to tho library thus purchasing and
therefor much expense.
Regarding tho Bystem of purchasing du-
pllcato copies of books much in demand,
Mrs. Dallcy said tho plan proposed hero of
renting tho hooks at so much per woek until
paid for and thcu placing thera on tho
shelves Is In vogue In a number of tho larger
cities. In St. Louts, sho had been informed
at tno convention, nn many as
ninety duplicate copies ot certain books were
purchased nnd rented nt 5 cunts per week
until paid for and then placed on tho
shelves for general and free circulation,
Tho books thus purchased soon paid tor
themselves.
Tho nnnual election of officers resulted ns
follows: President, M. I- Robrcr; secretary
and librarian, Mrs. M. K. Dallcy; assistants,
Mrs. D. K. Mack and Mies Margaret Shor-
nian. The terms pt oince aro for tho year
commencing August 1 next.

tho distribution ot the moneys reported in
his final report. The report was approved
by JikIrii Smith of tho district court nnd
Mr. Pusey was discharged from liability In
connection with the moneys so far collected
and accounted for. Ho was continued ns
executor, however, without bond for the
purposo of recovering the amounts paid

Hoard of Supervisors Will Try tlic
People Oner More.
Tho Hoard of County Supervisors, which
convened In adjourned session yesterday
afternoon, Is expected to tako action today
on tho question of submitting to tho voters
tho proposition ot purchasing land on which
to establish a poor farm. The proposition
which will bo submitted If the board so do
sldcs has been drawn up by tho county at
torney and Is as follows, with tho amounts
left blank:
Shall tho following public measure bo
adopted 7
Shall the Board of Supervisors of Potta
wattamie establish a poor houso In said
county, purchase land therefor, and erect
suitable buildings on such land at a cost
not to exceed $ tor such land and
building?
And shall said Hoard of Supervisors for
tho purpose of paying for the land to be
purchased ajid the buildings to be erected
levy a tax. In addition to the usual taxes,
on the taxable) property of said county In
nn amount not to exceed ...... mills on the
dollar each year for the years next
succeeding the vote on this proposition?
Tho supervisors aro of tho opinion that
a poor farm Is the only solution of provid
ing for the pauper element ot tho county,
It is bcllaved that such an Institution,
propcrtly managed, could bo made, almait.
If not wholly, supporting. In other counties
whero tho pauper element Is cared for in
poor farms tho achenio has been found to
be a paying ono nnd tho cent of providing
for tho poor reduced to a minimum. The
cost of caring for tho poor in this county
amounts to $21,000 yearly and for the last
two years tho poor tund has. been con
stantly overdrawn.
Tho supervisors aro also ot the opinion
that tho establishment of a poor farm will
materially decrenso tho number of appll
cants for relief. As a rulo pooplo who aro
willing to recclvo aid from tho county with
out working for it arc loath lo enter a
poor houso, whero they will be forced to
labor, It able. This county, tho authorities
claim, has boon for years the dumping
ground of the pauper element from sur
rounding counties, whoro the poor uro
carod for In poor farms.
In talking of tho matter yesterday Su
pervlsor Hansen said that while the board
bellovcd that tho only way to decreaso the
cost ot caring for the poor In this county
was to establish a poor farm, It was not In
tended that nil the paupers of tho county
should bo sent there. There are cases
where outsldo relief would have to bo
given. It Is thought, he said, that by the
purchase ot from 160 to 200 acres of gocd
farming land tho poor farm could,bo made
self-supporting with proper management,
Two years ago tho board was offered the
Henry Cook farm, near Underwood, con
sisting of 320 acres of good land, at $33
per acre. On this farm was a houso con
talning upwards of twenty rooms that had
cost $7,000 to build. Tho people turned the
proposition to buy this place down. The
land could not be bought now for $50 nn
acre. Ten years ago tno county eoiq us
poor farm, containing 160 acres, on the
Crescent City road, Just east ot tho city, as
it was poor land nnd was found an ex
pensive experiment. It sold for $50 an
acre and slnco then part of the farm has
been resold for $200 an acre.
The session yesterday afternoon was de
voted to tho consideration of road mat
ters. Recorder Smith filed his report for
tho second quarter ending Juno 30, showing
that 1,729 instruments had been filed dur

Clark appealed to Justlco Fcrrler wno is

mltted that the assault was a fact but
pleaded oxtonuatlng circumstances. The

It developed after Evans had paid bis nno
that the asault on Clark was far more serl

It Is alleged that' Evans beat Clark with n

last night Clark's condition was reported to
be critical In tho extreme. Three physl

The stato oxtutlvo council spent tolsy
assessing telephone and telegraph compan
ies. None of tho latter -were assessed, nor
none of tho larger of tho former. This
was because they did not happen to b&ve
reported In such order that among the first
were tha big ones. Rut two rules "were
adopted. Ono of these was that no company
should bo asactsed on Its mileage below $40
n mile and that In tho case of large com
panies tho exchange should bo assessed
separately from tho mileage.
