TO INSURE THE SCHOOLS
Voteri Will Bo Atked to Authorize That
Important Step.
LESSON FROM ROCK ISLAND'S FIRE
Council II I ii IT s Is l'i a lis Mtitlt mi
llontlcil J)rll' nnd Conltl .Vol Ite
l.tilld If I! Iff HullilltiKs
Iltimed.
At tho school eloctlo'n next month the
olectors of tho Independent school district
of Council IllufTs will be asked to voto upon
tho proposition to Insuro against tiro was
school buildings of tho city. This was de
cided upon nt an Informal meeting of tho
Hoard of Education yesterday morning
nfter It had learned of the destruction by
firo of tho High school building at Hock
Island, III., recently erected at a cost of
190,000, and which was Insured for $45,000.
Papers containing no account of the flro
wero sent to tho members of tho board by
Prof. II. I). Haydon, formerly superintend
out of schools hero, nnd now filling a simi
lar position at Hock Island.
The possibility of such n flro occurring
hero nwnkened some of tho members of tho
board to tho danger of not having tho
schools insured, nnd at an Informal gath
ering It was decided to submit the proposi
tion to tho electors at tho school election
March 11. While the exact amount In
which tho buildings will be Insured has not
been determined, It 1 agreed among tho
members that tho district ought to carry
from $100,000 to $150,000 on tho principal
bulldlncs.
The new High school Is being erected
aL a cost of J 55.000. nnd in the event nf It
J bolng burned down, tho district would bo
absolutely tinnblo to replace It with an
other building, unless It was well Insured.
When tho bonds In tho sum of $f.0,00C for
tho erection of tho now High school wero
Issued, It brought the Indebtedness of tho
district up to the legal limit and no moro
bonds could be Issued. The same would bo
truo If any of tho larger schools, such as
tho Washington avonue, Dloomer, TwentliiU
avenuo and Eighth etrcut buildings, wero
destroyed by flro, Tho board would bo
without funds or tho means of securing
funds to rcplaco these buildings. Any of
tho Bmallor buildings could probably be re
built from tho money In tho schoolhouso
fund.
Up to six years ngo, the schools wero In
sured against fire, but some of tho mem
bers of tho bonrd at that ttmo were of tho
opinion that It was a useless exponso and
tho question was submitted to tho electors
with tho result that they voted that tho
district should carry Its own Insurance. At
that time, however, tho Indebtedness of the
district was well below the legal limit and
had any building been consumed by Are,
bonds could have been Issued In a sufficient
amount to replace it.
Hate on School In Low.
The members of the bonrd In favor of In
suring tho school bulldlnga point to tho fact
that tho cost Is comparatively small In
contrast to tho results obtained In caso of
a conflagration. Tho rate for flro lnsurancs
on school buildings Is low nnd It i'i es
timated would not exceed 60 cents per
$100. Thus, If tho schools of tho district
wore Insured for an aggregate amount or
$150,000, tho yearly expenso would not ex
ceed $900. i '
The only Insuranco at prtsent carried by
tho district Is on the boilers In tho largo
buildings heated by utenm. This Insurant-.)
la carried principally from the fact that it
also carries with It a regular Inspection of
boilers. Tho cost of this boiler Insurance
Is In tho neighborhood of $100 a year.
Member Hess, who has always been op
posed to the district carrying Its own In
surance, snld yesterday: "As soon as I
lenrned of tho destruction by flro of tho
handsome High school building at Hock
Island, I realized that this district would
bo In a bad predicament In tho event of any
ono of our largo schools being destroyed.
Wo could not rcplaco the building, as we
would have no funds and we cannot Issue
any more bonds, no matter how urgont tho
need, na tho Indebtedness of tho district
since the Issuance of tho now High school
bonds Is up to the limit allowed by law. I
am In favor of placing nt least $45,000 or
$50,000 Insurance on our now High school
nnd nay $2t,000 on tho Washington avenue
school and about $20,000 on tho Dloomer
building, and tho others In proportion. Tho
smaller buildings we might replace In case
they wero destroyed by flre. I bellevo It
would bo the best and safest policy for
the board to insuro the schools in an ag
gregate amount of from $125,000 to $150,000
Tho expense would not be great and our
financial condition, in my opinion, demands
It."

Conference of CliiirlllrN.
Tho annual stiito conference of charities
and corrections for Ioun Is to bo held In
Rod Oak tho first week In April. Miss
Charlotte doff, tho secrotnry of the ns,so
elation, has Just returned from lted Oak,
where she went to confer with the local'
members and committees In regard to ar
rangomentB nnd tho date. Tho program
will bo arranged In n fow days by tho ex
ocutlvo committee, Judging from the in
terest which hns boon manifested In nil
parts of tho stnto the past year tho con
ference Is Ukoly to be the best over held.
Oilier Aiiiiouneeiiienla line.
It Is expected that tho nnouncement of
the candidacy of John Herrlott, ex-stato
treasurer, will bo mado tomorrow and he
will formally enter tho raco for governor.
The announcement Is to bo mado In his
homo papers In Outhrlo county. Tho an
nouncement of tho candidacy of Senator
Harrlmau was made In his homo paper, the
Hampton Chronicle, which pays him a
high compliment. Colonel Palmer of Wash
lngton county, railroad commissioner, has
Intimated that ho will decide this weok
whether or not to announce himself a can
didate for governor. Chslrmnn Woaver of
tho republican state committee has written
hero that ho will be In Dos Moines the
latter part of the wnok to confer with
members of the commlttco and candidates
with regard to tho date for holding tho
state convention. It Is now believed that
a vory early date will be selected because
of the precipitation of tho preliminary
campaign far ahead or the usunl time.
The efforts of the Des Molues dealers to
secure rates which will mako of Des Moines
n basing point llko tho cities on tho Mis
souri river hnvo resulted In practically
(.losing a bargain with tho Great Western
railroad by which tho company agrees to
make a rate on shipments from tho east
substantially the same as river rates hi
consideration of nu ngrcoment by which
Des Moines men nro to give that road prac
tically all their business. At present the
rato from St. Louis to Des Moines Is more
favorablo than from Chicago and eastern
points. As the Great Western Is not seek
ing St, Louis business It Is In a position
to make the rate. Tho local dealers ngreo
to form a purchasing company, through
which the buslncfcs can be transacted, nnd
thus tho rato bo secured despite tho ro
fusal of the freight bureaus to comply with
the demands of the Des Moines dealers.
No Prise FIkIiIIiik.
Governor Shaw, having lenrned through
the newspapers thnt It Is on the program to
have a prize fight at Dubuque, has given
orders that the law bo strictly enforced
against prize fighting nnd nothing of the
sort will be nllowed. The law Is lame, but
It tho local authorities choose to apply It
the fight can be stopped.
Pardon for Dnbuqne Man.
Governor Shaw today directed tho re
lease from the penitentiary of Michael Kcr
wln, who was sent from Dubuqua county
In 18B5 for tho murder of Mnher nt Twin
Springs. Ho recolved a sentence of Bcvcn

WOMEN WHO SUFFER,
Thousands Everywhere Who
Endure Terrible Torture.
Death Often Welcomed as a
Means of Belief,
i. Little Knowledge Would Often
Avert Much Agony.
Women are tho sufferers of tho human race.
Their dcllcato organism Is the cause of
frequent and severe pain.
Therols no reason why womon shouhl lead
a life of such perpetual misery. God did not
intend that this should be tho caso.
It is enough that women hhouhl suffer in
giving birth to children. It Is too much to
ask her to suffer at other times, yot many
women oxporlence each mouth tortures thnt
are second only to tho pains of child birth.
What Is the cause of this ? It nearly
always can bo found in a disregard of Na
ture's laws, Improper food, insufficient ex.
erciso or carolestness in other matters of
hyglono, all of whloh go to weakon those
organs in women that are tho source of such
pain and misery, mlsory not only to tha
woman horsolf, but to her entire family.
What can bo worso than to bo always
looking ahead to a time when several days
of helplessness will ensue 7 It is Imposslblo
to make plans for the future, especially In
cases where the monthly porlods aro Irregu
lar. There is no knowing when a woman
will be able to attend to her ovory-day duties,
or will bo prostrated Hat on her back, and
the worst part of this trouble Is that such
Irregularity und pain goes hand in hand.
Women who suffer and are irregular In
their porlods oxporlonco much greater hard
ships In child boarlng. They nro in much
f roator danger during child birth. Worso
ban anything else, the progeny of such
women are sfckly, dollcato, and undorslzed.
Such childron start life at a disadvantage.
They aro tho kind that grow Into sickly,
norvous, nnd pouvlsh men and women.
Why not eliminate all this suiTorlng from
your llfo ? You can do It. Dr. Oroono's
Norvura blood and nerve remody is tho
greatest boon known to women. It does
everything that Nature craves for to mako
womon well and strong.
Dr. Oreene's Nervura does not stop here by
any means. It oontlnues in Its good work by
strengthening the stomaoh. It invigorates
the klduevs. and makes the liver active and
healthy. It rogulates the bowels and gives
strength to those organs of women that are
too irequentiy a source of trouble to them.
Ono case of the many that wo hear of that
Indicates what Dr. Greene's Norvura blood
and nerro romedy does comes from Lulu
Reynolds, of Rookport, N.Y., who says:
"I have boon ill fora long tlmo, and could
get no liolp, having employed several doctors,
until I got Dr. Greeno's Nervura blood and
nerve remody. Now that I have takon a fow
bottles nt it, I fool well, and I shall always
bloss Dr. Groono for having put suoh a good
medicine on the market. I can never say
enough in favor of it. Bofore taking it I
suffered with heart troublo, female weak
ness, and was so nervous that I could not
boar to havo anyone cross the floor. I had
darting pains all over mo. Once I had St.
Vitus' dance. My monstmatlons stopped
entirely. In fact, I wont through every
thing that flesh Is heir to and lived. Can
anyone wonder that I col so thankful for
mv hoalth, for I am but li'J years of ago, nud
llfo Is as sweet to me as to others, and I
had made up my mind that 1 might as
woll die as to Hvo In suoh pain. Kvcryone
In my neighborhood thinks I was raised
from tho dead, as they know what It has
done for me. I will be glad to explain to
anv lady who wishes to know moro of what
Dr. Groono's medlclnedld forme, if shewlll
send mo a stamp."
Anyone wishing tho advico of this great
blood and nerve specialist may have it abso
lutely free if they will wrlto to Dr. Greena
