Tho question whether. It should continue
to pander to tho public- craving for light
works of fiction, or whether It should at
tempt to mold tho tasto of tho reading pub
lic for lltcraturo of a more nerlous char
acter, was discussed at length at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon of the public library
ttustoes. The consensus of opinion Beamed
to be that while the purcbaie of novels
aboutd not be shut oft entirely a Wi
ser number of such books ahould
In tho future bo placed on the
ahelveB, and the monoy at the disposal
of tho board expended In literature of a
more lasting nature.
The matter was brought to tho attention
of the board by Trustee Flnley Burke, when
a list of now books recommended by the
romtnlttue to be bought was submitted nnd
rend. He Bald, while tho funds ot the
disposal of tho board wore so limited, ho
believed fewer novols should be purchased
and that It would be better to buy the
books which wore moro needed than fiction.
Ho explained that ho did not wish seriously
to curtail the lighter class of reading mat
ter, but thought one duty of the board would
bo to try to mold tho taato of the patrons
of tho library for a higher class of reading
matter. Fow If any novels became, ho unld,
standard works, and In a short time wero
relegated to tho past and the shelves ot
tho library were fast becoming laden with
books for which there was no longer any
call or domand. He was In favor of expend
ing what llttlo monoy the board had on
books of a higher and more lasting charac
ter. Trustee Burke's sentiments wero evi
dently thoso of tho other members ot the
hoard, and It 1b safo to sny tiiat In future
the number of new novels, that will be
bought will be materially diminished.
Mnttrr of United nooks.
While discussing this question, Trustee
nalrd brought up the matter of rented
books suggested that nt least one copy
of each book ptirchaBhcd for the rental sys
tem should be placed on tho freo list.
This did not meet with fnvor at tho hands
of tho other trustees, who wero of tho
opinion that it wna soon enough to place
such hooks on tho free list, when they
had horn paid for ty tho money received
In renting them out at 6 conts a week. Tho
report of tho librarian showed that up to
February 1. $44.51 had been expended on
books to bo rented, and tbnt up to tho
snnio date $41.84 .had been received nn these
hooks. Wltllo tho list of new books rec
ommended to .bo purchased contatned a
number of works for the Juvenllo cIbbs
of renders, not a slnglo work of fiction was
Included. Tho list contained n number ot
the recent most noteworthy publications,
itiltidlnt, scv vorki on travel, history
nnd art.
The contract for printing 500 copies of the
nineteenth annual report wna awarded to
Morehotuio & Co., on their bid of $29.70.
Utile No. 11 was amended to read "a writ
ton guarantee signed by Borne responsible
resident of tho city must be filed by all
persons applying for hooks before receiving
tho samo, but no person who has failed
to mako good any former guarantee, shall
ho nccepted aa guarantor."
The insurnnco on the library and con
tents was raised from $10,800 to $15,000.

the supreme court growing out of saloon
smashing In lowa In 18t4. It wns In Butler
county, at Shell Hock, whero tho suloon of

destroyed by a company of women. Turner
surd six of the women for damages and
Included their husbnnds In the suit. Tho
women claimed that their action wns merely
that ot abating a nuisance, but In addition
to this thoy set up tho claim that Turner
had, by marrying one of the raiders, com
promised tho whole case and discharged
all of tho women from liability. Turner
married one of tho women, n Miss Altnlna
Champlln, nnd the supremo court upheld
the decision of the district court to he
effect that by this marrlago Turner had

daughter taught In tho public schools the
principles of physiology as presented- tn
the school books. She claimed that thero
Is no truth In what tho books on physiology
teach and that the study of the science
tends to prejudice the mind ot tho child
against tho religion which sho Is being
taught. Tho board has decided that the
girl will have to tnko all the studies or
none. A similar caso was reported recently
from Wnvcrly, whore n woman wrote to
tho secretary of state asking him to grant
n permit for liar daughter to go to school
without being taught the Iniquities of the
science of physiology. The permit wns not
granted,

Tho train for Omaha, the fast trnln, ran
upon the wrong track at Ames and started

switch started tho train wrong, but neither
tho engineer, conductor nor nny other per
son discovered the mistake until the train
arrived at Gilbert station. Then the train
flagged back to Ames nnd started right,

Andy Sloan has been discharged and Con
ductor Frank Spauldlng has been laid off
for sixty days. Tho engineer offered In ex
cuse only that tho engine wns leaking nnd
the steam prevented his noticing tho mis
placed switch.

A Des Moines Justice of tho peace has
decided that the civil rights clauso of the
constitution guaranteeing tho samo rights
to tho blnck man that nre accorded to the
white man does not apply In the caso of
nn Iowa mulct Bitloon. A saloonkeeper. J.
C. Hansen', wns sued for not'selltng a drink
of liquor to a negro. Ho had refused, in
fact, because the man was a negro nnd the
saloonkeepers havo objected to negroes
frequenting their saloons. They desired
thnt this should become a test caso to de
termine whether they hnvo a right to re
fuse to Bell liquor to anyone. The Justice
decided thnt tho saloonkeeper wns not liable
for prosecution by reason of this refusal.
"Tho snlo of Intoxicating liquors in this
stnto Is Illegal," tho Justice decided, "and
every salo of J. C. Hnnscn, the defendant,
Is Illegal, so declared by the statutes nnd
tho supreme court of tho state, but ho Is
not prosecuted under tho mulct law. The
Inw Is fearfully and wonderfully made, but
It has never yet shown symptoms of such
Idiocy as to allow n mnn to bo prosecuted
for tho refusal to sell.
"Inasmuch ns all are Illegal and all
thnt tho consent petitions do Is to relieve
tho saloon men from tho ordinary penaltler
of violation nf the prohibitory law, the
prosecuting witness hnd no rights In tho
ensc.
The decision Is regarded na of consider
nblo Interest by the saloon men of tho city,
as It gives them authority to make dis
tinctions between their customers, much

Pyspepsia Cure
A healthy stomach, capable of digesting a good, square meal,
is a great blessing. It keeps the body strong by insuring plenty
of nourishment. In fact, it means perfect health,, But some
thing must be done when the stoinuch Is so tired that it can't
digest what you eat, for undigested food poisons the blood.
We can recommend a preparation that completely digests all
classes of foods that Is Kodol, DvsrEraiA Cunn. It gives the
stomach perfect rest and allows you to cat and enjoy the variety
of food that is so necessary for maintaining health. It never
fails to cure indigestion, oven after everythlngelso has failed. It 1
is pleasant to take and can bo used in all conditions.
"For many years I suffered from chronic indigestion, and it i
seemed us though nothing was ever going to do me any good. On
tho advice of a friend I commenced using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It gave me immediate relief and 1 continued its uso until now
I feel that I am cured. "Henry N. Kramer, Wendelvlllr, N. Y.
