Owing to a controversy between the
city engineer's ofllco and tho contractor
as to the quality of brick being laid, work
on tho paving of North Main street was
stopped yesterday afternoon. Mahlon
Ilrown nnd Joe Smith, tho two Inspectors
employed by tho city engineer, rejected
load after load of brlrk which Contractor
Wlckham was using for tho top course.
The Inspectors Insisted that the brick did
not come up to tho samplo on file in tho
engineer's ofllce and compelled tho con
tractor to take up considerable of tho pav
ing that had been laid.
Finally, when tho Inspectors rejected a
load of brick which Is claimed bv tbh
contractor to be as good as any brick
manufactured, tho latter at once decided
to stop tho work and tho men were all
called off.
The rejected brick comes from the brick
yards of John P. Weaver and ho Insists
that It is exactly the samo brick which
tho members of the city council Inspected
and npproved tho day they made a tour
of tho locnl brickyards. Regarding tho
sample on ille in the engineer's ofllce, Mr.
Weaver said that could not ho taken as a
test, as If It was, there was not near
enough brick In Council Hluffs to do any
where near tho amount of paving ordered.
Tho brick supplied by him and used by
Contractor Wlckham on North Main street,
ho asserted, was good paving brick, In fact,
as good brick as could be made anywhere.
Mr. Weaver also asserts that tho In
spectors employed by the city engineer nro
Incompetent nnd that never having had
any experience In making bricks are not
rompetent to Judge what constitutes a
good paving brick and what does not.
City Knglnecr Ktnyre, on tho other hand,
says that both his Inspectors have had
experience and that they nro perfectly
Justlllcd In rejecting the brick they did.
Ho suld: "Filed with the contract be
tween the city and Wlckham Is a samplo
brick and It is my duty to see that all
tho brick luld for tho top courso Is of tho
same standard. A large quantity of the
brick rejected by tho Inspectors is slde
wulk brick and not paving brick. As long
as tho work has to bo dono uudcr my
supervision and I am responsible for tho
quality of the paving laid tho brick wil:
havo to bo up to tho standard of tho sam
plo In my ofllco or elso It wtll bo rejected."

Iloillil of l.'iliiciltloii Settle (lu Illicit
School Locution (luce More,
Tho Hoard of Kducatlan has decided to
purchase the Street property on which to
build tho new High school and at u special
meeting held last night Secretory Dillon
wos authorized to accept tho deed to the
tract, the committee appointed for the pur
pose having reported that it hud examined
tho title and found It perfect.
The property In question is tho tract
of ground bordered by Rluff street nnd
Fifth avenue, which the board first selected
as tho slto for tho now High school In
April of Int year. Two days after the
bolectlon tho beard came to tho conclusion
that tho property, owing to its tonography,
was not adaptable for such a building as
It contemplated erecting nnd rescinded Its
notion. The property was again solected
by tho board last month nftcr It rescinded
Its notion In choosing the old High school
grounts on Glen avenue. The tract, Is
06x210 feci and is known an part of lot
I, Jackson's addition. Tho owner Is Mrs.
Mary i:. Street. The price lo he paid for
tho pioperty by the school district Is y,,i00,
being .1C0 more than It was offered at tho
lli-s t time. I). W. Otis, agent for Mrs.
Street, explained that the additional $;00
was to rover tho cost of grading tho prop
erty, which was done Inst year.
The abstract of title had hecu examined
by Attorney Hazelton for tho hoard nnd ho
reported thnt ho had found It clear. Mora,
brr Stewart also examined the abstract
and lu his report ho railed attention to n
nunibi r of technical defects In tho record,
but which he Htntcd ho did not think Im
paired the title.
Messrs. Cox A Schocntgen. tho honrd's
architects, .-.ubmltted a model of tho Street
tract with a building on It such ns had
been planned for tho Oakland avonue site.
They explained that the original plans
would have to be changed materially to
conform with tho topography of this slto
and biiggeBted thnt a hiilhllnir orcnnvinir
J less ground Bparo anil four stories high
,on one-half and three stories on tho other
half b erected. The architects explained
that owing to the tract being so much
! hlKher nt one corner than tho other, It
j waii not at all sultnblo for such a building
I as the board had designed to erect on Oak
land avenue
This statement by the architects brought
foith tho teninrk from Member Stewart,
who was presiding In tho absence of Pres
ident Henry, that he had alwoys been of
the opinion that It would be Impossible
to even build a decent sheep shed on this
property. Member Swalne replied to this
by snylng that the board had Ihe property
now and that it would havo to build tho
sihool there After more or les.i discussion
the architects were Instructed to prepare
.'Cu'ffi'a USE
a meeting to be held
lonsldcrcd suitable for
mlt It to the board at
next Tuesday night.
Acting on the report of Chairman Cooper
or tho iinance committee tho snlnry of
Miss May Van Brunt of tho Twentieth
avenue school was raised from 13.") to G0
and that of Miss Francis Wright of tho
kindergarten faculty from $50 to $55. The
applications of Miss Dora Lyon nnd Miss
Ada Alnsworth for increases in their sal
nrlcs were Ignored. Member Swnlnc nlono
oted against raising tho salaries of Miss
an Ilrunt and Miss Wright
Member Stewart called nttcntlon to the
fact that tho annual meeting of tho hoard
as required by law, would fall on the third
Monday In September, when tho election of
n sccretnry will bo held. It was decided
on tho recommendation of the committee
on teachers that the vacations this year
bo tho same as last year, one week ut
Christmas nnd one week In tho spring,
as near tho first of April as possible.

brick sidewalk at tho Illoomer school,

to succeed Judgo N. W. Macy and tho latter
for the vacancy caused by Judgo Smith's
resignation.
When I ho convention reassembled yes.
terdny morning there were less than n
dozen delegates in attentlnnce, which caused
Chairman Ware to remark that tho gath

ident of Avoca, was prevailed upon to allow
his name to bo presented to tho convention
nnd ho was nominated by ncclamatlon for
the short term to fill tho vacnncy caused
by Judgo Smith's retirement. Mr. Rcnla-
mln has been democracy's perennial can
didate for the district bench for many
years, but he has never succeeded In se
curing siilllclcnt votes to land him where
he could don the ermine. Ho refrained from
making a speech to tho baker's dozen of
delegates present.
The nnmo of Carl Rolter of Logan was
submitted by tho Harrison county delegates
tor t no long term nomination to succeed
Judgo Macy and tho Harrison countv
attorney was nominated by ncclamatlon.
Mr. Rolter was not present nnd as it Is

Another effort was also made to Induce

JEFFERSON, la., Aug. 31,-(Spcclal.)-The
grand Jury, which has been ln session
since Tuesday, adjourned yesterday with,
out finding a bill. In fact. It appears no
business of Importnnco was brought bo
fore It. Judgo Church, who presides at
this term of district court, Is confronted
with nn unusual case under tho law per
mitting the issuance of permits to handle
liquor by druggists. Objections were hied
to tho Issuance of permits to two drug
gists residing in a town In this county.
Some weeks ago, as the result of a tem
perance ngltntlon, steps were taken to
securo nn Injunction restraining theso
druggists from selling liquor under their
permits, It being nlleged they were selling
liquor contrary to law. Their petition wns
not hied in time for this term of court,
however, and the case must go over until
tho October term. The law says that whero
objection Is made to tho granting of per
mits to druggists that the pcrsuns making
such objejctlon shall appear ln court nnd
stnto causo for such objection. When Judgo
Church called on tho persons making ob
jection to give causo for the samu the
objectets declined to state their reasons
at this time. Thoy state that to glvo tho
testimony tn their possession going to
prove that permits should not be granted
to theso druggists would bo to divulge the
facts upon which thoy aro depending to
support their injunction proceedings nnd
that this might prove fatal to. their case.
They assert that they havo the evidence
and that It would bo sufficient to debnr
the applicants from receiving the porralt
dfslicd, but they cannot glvo It now.
Judgo Church has not determined the eases

A New York Tribune reporter found flvo

money had changed hands.
"This is a little game." said one of the
merchants as ho took ln n big pot on n
full hand which ho had secured from a four
card raw. "You should see 'Hoston' play
once."
"Who Is Hoston?" was asked.
"Do you mean to say you don't know
LI Lung? He's the biggest nnd best
gambler In Chinatown. Ho runs a half
dozon card shops ln different parts of the
city."
"Did you hear how 'Hoston' flied the
politicians?" nsked n Chinese. One of tho
players had not, so ho continued:

poisonous reptllo. If the fum.. nf thi. ni..

was killed by inhaling its fumes and many
nnother has met a similar dcuth. From 3
to 5 per cent of this ncld diluted with
ninety-seven parts of water forms prussic
acid. Even this poison is so deadly that

of his sons take after himself In stature.
They nro round-limbed, sturdy youths, with
a somewhat mature expression on their
chubby faces, as though they had advanced

their physical growth. All are of a sunnj

southern Italy, whero their father and
mother were born.
Tho elder Camplnno says that ho might
account for his own dlmlnutlveness. "i was
unable lo walk until I was I years old." ho
says. "Uy that time I bad almost reached
