MATRONS AT THE CITY JAIL
Women Decide to Have the Law Carried Out
in This Regard,
MAYOR REFUSES TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS
I niTllllncnrss to Incur the Hipriup
Is tfl en l- Him ns nn Kottae
for Complying with
the l.nvr.
Now that tho census has demonstrated
that Council Illuffs has a population of over
25,000 the agitation for a police matron at
the cltv l.lll h.1 hn runuurnl. Mm T.1
Smith and other members of tho committee
who tiavo had tho matter In hand called
upon Mayor Jennings and Chief Albro yes
terday urging that a matron bo appointed
without further delay.
Tho appointment of a pollco matron Is
not optional with tho mayor, but Is made
mandatory by the laws of tho state now
that the city g shown, to havo a population
of 2,".,000 and upwards. Tho law says that
two matrons shall bo appointed. Sectldn C54
of the codo of Iowa Is as follows: "In cities
having a, population of 2,,000 or more, for
each station houso provided therein for tho
detention or Imprisonment of women or
children under nrrcst tho mayor shall ap
point two or moro women, residents of tho
city, as police mntrons, who shall bo over
30 years of age. Tho appointees shall be,
so far as applicable, subject to the same)
roculutfonn nnd refitrletlonit na nnlleemen
and hold their positions during good be-
navior, unless by reason of ago or infirmity
they become Incapacitated to perform the
duties of tho position."
Section SCi defines the duties of the pollco
matrons as follows: "Pollco matrona shall
havo charge of all thn women anil children
under arrest, accompanying such ns may re-
ojinro such nld to court. They shall bo sub
ject to tho authority of tho marshal and tho
rillen nnd rotftllntlnna nrtanrlt,nr1 fiv hid
authority, and In stations, when on duty,
snail no suDjeci to trie authority of the om
cers In command. A suitable place shall be
provided for the police matrons when not
on duty for rest and refreshment."
Mnyor Opposes the Appointment.
Tho pollco department Is under thn ex
clusive control, practically, of tho mayor,
and he from tho start has refused to enter
tain tho requot of the women that a matron
be placed at tho city hall. Ills excuBo for
reiusing ine request nas invariable been tho
expense. When thn matter wn lirniicM in
his attention ngaln yesterday ho held outMo
uopo ror tno appointment of a matron this
year, ns tho appropriations had been msdo
and there would bo nothing to pay a matron
with until after next April, when the salary
of such an olllcer could be Included In tho
yearly appropriations. The women, dcsplto
the refusal of the mayor to comply with the
law, do not Intend to let tho matter drop
and there was talk yesterday of taking It
Into court nnd securing a mandamus to
compel tho chief executive to comply with
tho requirements of tho law.
It Is contended that Mayor Jennings' ex
cuse that there Is no monoy to pay a matron
Is not well founded, neither Is U necessary
to havo a distinct appropriation for such a
purpose. So much each year Is appropriated
for tho maintenance of the pollco depart
ment nnd this amount cannot be exceeded.
So far this year tho department has been
run on strictly economical principles and
Mayor Jennings not later than last Mon
day mado tho statement that he expected
to save at least $1,000 out of the appropria
tion. If this bo the caso It Is contended
by the committee that there would bo ample
to pay tho salary of a police matron until
noxt April. Tho committee Is willing to
be content with tho appointment of ona
matron nnd not Insist on two as the law
provides, hut If Mayor Jennings persists In
turning down Its request It may change Its
mind and Insist that the provisions of the
statute bo carried out and two matrons ap
pointed. Clulin Hound to Hnve It.
Now that tho women havo the law at their
hack they are determined that female pris
oners and chlldron detained at tho city Jail
shall havo tho services of h matron. A
meeting of the club and church women who
havo been Interested In the matter of a
pollco matron will bo called In tho near
futuro and snmo dcflnlto plan of action de
termined upon should Mayor Jennings con
tinue to refuse to inako tbo appointment ns
provided by law.

L. Zurrauehlcn, Jr.. chairman of tho dem
ocratic county central committee, has an
nounced that he will Issue n call for tho
democratic county convention for Wednes
day, September 26, for tho purpose of
placing In nomination a county ticket.
Ft ul C. Aylcsworth, chairman of tho dem
ocratic Fifteenth Judicial committee, has
been notified by C. A. Bolter of Losan,
Harrison county, that ho cannot nccopt tho
nomination for Judgo of tho district court,
tho samo having been mado by tho demo
cratic Judicial convention In this city with
uut consulting him. Mr. Iloller gives the
pressure of prlvato business as tho reason
for declining tho "high honor conferred
upon him by his democratic friends." Mr.
Holler's nomination came about after the
onveutlon had fulled to Induce any of
tho local legal lights to accept It. Chair
man Aylcsworth Is In favor of leaving the
nomination for tho long term blank, as
Judge Macy's election is conceded by all
and by doing this It Is thought possible that
Fremont Denjamln'a chances of olectton
to tho short term might be enhanced.

PrlvllOKOn of Park nnnril.
The establishment of the fact that Coun
cil 11 luffs has a population of 25.000 wilt
glvo thn Park Hoard greater privileges
and enable It to Increase the annual tax
levy for park purposes. Heretoforo the
board has only been abto to levy 1 mill
uunually for park purposes. Now It will
be able to levy 3 mills if tt fluds It neces
sary nnd under section 8!2 of the rode,
amended by tho Twenty-eighth general as
sembly, tt can for the years 1500 to 1903 In
clusive levy nn extra mill In addition to
the regular 3 mills, thus making tho levy
for park purposes for those years 4 mills.
This cannot be taken advantage of this
year, as tho lovy has boon certified up to
the County Hoard of Supervisors and by It
Incorporated In the general tax levy for
1900.
Another privilege given the board under
ths nw status of things Is In respect
to tho salaries of ths park rsmrolsslan
era. Heretoforo they could not receive
a greater salary than 1100 per nnnum.
which Amount they have been receiving
for tho last few years. Prior to that tho
position was nn honorary ono nnd It car
ried no emolument with It. Now that
Council Hlufls has a population of 25.000
tho Park Commissioners can reeelvo a
salary of 3 per day, not to exceed 100
days In tho year.

The closing chapter In one of the most ro
mnrkablo criminal cases In the history of
Iowa was written yesterday when Judgo
Macy of the district court issued an order

Condition of I own Crop.
The last regular crop bulletin for the
season of 1900, Issued today, has tho fol
lowing to say of tho conditions In Iowa:
Tho week ending September 10 was warm
aim dry. The uverHgo dally temperature
was from 3 to i, degrees ubovo normal and,
excepting In the northern port of tho stale,
tiler.- was but little moro than a trace of
rainfall. Tho conditions huvo been very
favorable for ripening corn and threshlnir
tho balance of unstiicked grain. Fully M
per cent of the corn crop Is now practically
safe nnd tho balance In so near maturity
',11: , mi,v Be considered well assured.
The ripening procoss has been normal,
securing very nearly perfect development
pf ears and grain. For the state at lurge
11 Is the most uniformly good crop grown
within tho last two decades. Husking re
turns are likely to show it to bo above
nil previous records, mid tho farmers are
cutting and securing more than the usual
amount of forage from their corn fields.
Lxccpt In portions of tho northern half

It hon Woen a most bountiful crop season.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11. Thero was vejolc
Ing today at democratic national hcadriuar
tcrg over tho result of tho election In
Maino. Secretary Walsh nnd National
Committeeman Johnson prepared a net of
fl6Ure8, based upon their per cent of gains
in Maine, upon which they claim tho fol
lowing states for Ilryan by tho Indicated
majorities:
Man laud s.r)
Indiana sn.ono
Mlchlpan ,)
Minnesota , ; fy,
Kentucky "mo
Went Virginia 2o.0(l
California is.ono
Delaware 2iooo
North Dakota 2"1
Illinois a;.,,!!
"Tho democratic pain in Maine was 23
per cent." said National Committeeman
Johnson, "and tho republican loss wa 12
per cent based on tho vote cast in 1S91.
If similar rcsulta aro obtained In other
states now claimed by the republicans
Mr. Ilryan caunot fall of election. Tho
ratio If maintained in Now York would
not kIvc us that state, however, but It
would cut down the republican majority to
133.000 from the majority of 268,000 In 1S3G.
Tho result is moro than Rratlfylng, coming
after tho republican slump In Vermont
It shows that tho republicans of Maine aro
dissatisfied."
William Jennings Bryan, who romalned
in his room nt tho Auditorium hotel all
day, Is preparing a number of speeches,
which ho will begin Thurtduy at Fort
Wayne. Ind. Ho declined to discuss tho
Maine election further thau to say that the
result was no more gratifying thau hn had
cxpocted nnd more gratifying returns
would follow all over In tho November
election.

Senator Ilannn, whoso tlmo was occu
pied In Informal conferences with members
of thu national advisory committee, de
clined to express nn opinion, but Vlco
Chairman Payne of tho republican execu
tive committee, speaking for him, said:
'Tho result In Maine has no bearing on
the national election and was in no sense
a disappointment to tho republicans. Wo

Is growing. 1 do not pretend to say tho
cause of the apparent republican loss."
Assurance was received from Senator
ForaUer today that within three weeks
ho wilt come west and make a number
of campaign speeches. Senator Hanna is
anxious for Senator Foraker to mako an
address In Chicago on September 2.V Sen
