Propoiltion for Uniformity of Text Books
Goes Before th Voters,

Election.
At tlio meeting yesterday afternoon of the
County Hoard of Education the necessary
stops wero taken to submit to tho electors
at tho coming school election the ques
tion of uniformity In text books. Tho prop
osition will be submitted outside of tho
city only, us uniform text books aro now
In uao In tho public schools of Council
uiurr.
PottnwaUamlo county never has enjoyed
it uniformity of text books and tliero tins
consequently been more or lesH complnlnt
lu tho country districts. A pupil moving
from oho township to another has been
obliged to buy now school books, jlb there
aro few townships In the county where the
samo text books nro used.
Tho form of ballot to bo used at the
echool election throughout tho county.
March 11, wns agreed upon nt tho meeting
yesterday and Is ns follows:
Whercns, A majority of tho school direc
tors of Pottawattamie county believe thnt
county uniformity of school books will
greatly Increase the efficiency of the Miibllc
schools of tho county, and will materially
demlnlsh the expense to patrons lncldant
to any chungu of residence, and under a
system of such uniformity school books
will bo furnished to patrons at nctunl cost;
and
Whereas, Such school directors, for rea
inns above stated, havn filed 111 the nflltv
of tho county superintendent or schools a
petition signed ny tne requisite legal num
ber, asking that the question of county
uniformity of school text books bo sub
mitted to the electors at their annual meet
ing on the second Monday In March. l'Ml.
It Is therefor ordered by the County Hoard
of Education of said county that there bo
submitted to the electors in said county on
tho second Monday In March, I'M, tho fol
lowing: "Shall a uniform series, of school text
books bo ndopted In tho manner prescribed
bv law for use In tho public schools
throughout Pottawnttamlo county? Such
system of uniformity to begin nt the open
ing of tho school year In September, 1'jOl,
and only such changes to be made as may
be necessary to bring about such uniform
ity. Indicate voto by writing 'Yes' or
'No. "
Petition of TypoKrnplilcnl Union,
Tho committee of tho Uluff City Typo
graphical union having tho matter In chargo
filed with Secretary Iloss of tho Hoard of
Education yesterday tho petition asking
tho board to submit at tho coming school
election tho question of free text books In
this district. Tho petition hnd I'.Otfl signa
tures attached to It, being several hundred
moro than nbsolutoly necessary. Tho law
provides that on a petition signed by onc
thlrd or moro o! tho legal voters In the
district the Hoard of Education sh.ill sub
mit the question of providing free text
books for tho uso of pupils In tho public
schools nt the next school election, which
In this caso will be March 11.
Freo text books would mean, It Is es
timated, an Increase In tho school, levy of
about ',j of n mill, but those who favor
It contend thnt tho benefit to the pupils,
especially those of tho poorer classes, will
fully Justify the Increase.
Under the present system tho text books
uro sold to tho pupils nt cost prlco, Cus
todian Hushnell receiving n salary of $luQ
per nnnum from tho board to handlo the
books. Tho total Is on an nvcrago about
13,000 a year. As there aro between 4,000
and C.OOO pupils In 'the public schools or
this city it will readily bo seen tho cost per
pupil Is not large.
Superintendent. Clifford, when asked yes
terday his opinion on tho question of freo
toxt books for tho schools here, said: "Tho
plan has both Its advantages and its dis
advantages, but I could not form an
opinion until I had seen how It worked.
Tho system of freo text books was adopted
In Des Moines shortly after I left there to
corao to Council Uluffs and I havo never
worked In any city where tho plan wns In
vogue. Tho present cost per pupil for text
books umler tho system In vogue hero is
not largo, but If the majority of tho peo
plo deslro freo text books thcro Is no rca-
oon why they should not have thera."
Under tho system of freo text books tho
books arc not given, but merely loaned to
tho pupils nnd the latter aro held ro-
sponslblo for nny dnningo to, loss of, or
falluro to return them. Tho adoption of
tho system will not prohibit pupils who
so deslro from purchasing and owning their
school books.
The matter of authorizing the submission
of tho proposition nt tho election will como
up for notion at tho meeting of the Board
of Education Tuesday, February 19, unless
tho board should have held a special meet
ing for this purpose before then.

While sitting ns n committee of tho whole
yesterday morning the county supervisors
took up nnd discussed tho Rtatus ot the
"tax ferret" contract entered into Novem
ber 13, 1S99, with F. M. Cunningham. Tho
members of tho board have expressed them
selves as being ready to abrogate tho con
tract If they can legally do so. With this
end In view nt the previous session of the
board a resolution was drawn up to tho ef
fect that the supervisors not only consid
ered that tho contract had become Invalid,
owing to tho legislation enacted by the
twenty-eighth general assembly, but thnt
tho board felt constrained under tho cir
cumstances to deny to Cunningham tho
right to stylo himself any longer "agent for
I'ottnwattnmlo county."
This resolution was not Intended to bo
mado public until such tlmo ns tho county
attorney might have passed his opinion
upon It nnd for thnt reason It was never
mado part of tho minutes. H wns, however,
referred to the county attorney and In un
swer to Inquiries from tho bonrd yesterday
morning ho elated that ho did not caro to
submit any opinion until tho enso In which
Frank Shlnn seeks to restrnln tho board
from carrying out tho contract with Cun

During tho discussion, it the request of
several members of tho bonrd, tho contrnct
was read, paragraph by paragraph, by
County Auditor Inness, lu order thnt tho
supervisors might fnmlllarlzo themselves
with all of Its provisions.
This was the only business transacted
during tho forenoon nnd In tho nftcrnoon

E. F. McQce, his son-in-law, was appointed

stntes, nnd that a portion of tho fund Is
Invested In rlty bonds. Ho RayB that they

the court that no hearing bo had on tlir
bonding company's application to bo dis

Tho banner went to Monona county.

ON'AWA, la., Feb. S. (Special.) Tho
question of Jurisdiction Is likely to play an
lmportnnt part In the case of Frank Dennis,
charged with killing John D. Worrell on
January 28 on n sandbar In tho Missouri
river, supposed to bo in Monona county,
Iowa, or olso In Hurt county, Ncbrnsk,i
Tho deed wns committed near Holymati's
Islnnd, a little north and west. The su
premo court of the United States decided
that tho island wns a part of Monona
county, Iowa, nnd tho residents voto nnd
pay taxes lu this county, nlthough It Is In
Nohraska to all Interests and purposes,
being detached when tho ''big bend" was
cut off somo years ngo from tho Iown side.
It Is a very closo question whether the
deed was committed In Iowa or Nebraska
nnd opinions hero nro much divided. It
nil seems to depend on the question of the
"main" channel of tho Missouri river nnd
It is almost Impossible to tell Just where
that Is. ,
Tho point will bo rnlscd nt tho April
term of tho Monona county district court,
when Dennis will be tried.
Tho nttorncy and sheriff of Burt county,
Nebraska, wero hero at tho preliminary
examination, ready to take chnrgo of the
caso if requested, but tho point was not
raised by tho defendant's attorneys, who
expect to spring it during the trlnl and bo
