VALIDITY OF CONTRACT IS AT STAKE Prank Mi I nil .inceeilH hi the First Nfcit of Ills Suit for Injunction Ilflcel Is to Pill Hall on the I '.n 1 1 re Proceeilliius, Judgo thcrncll of the district court handed dowu his decision yesterday morn ing In tho Injunction suit of Frank Sultm Egalnst T. M. Cunulngham, the tax ferret; the Hoard of Couaty Supervisors, county auditor and county treasurer, granting tha temporary restraining order applied for. The order enjoins- thu county olllcers from paying Cunningham any money under his contract with tho county for tax ferret work until tho question of the validity of the contract shall have been decided. The order of tho court Is; "Tho de fendants, the members of the Hoard of County Supervisors, the county auditor, tho county treasurer, aro hereby enjoined from Issuing to tho Bald defendant, V. M. Cun ningham, any orders or county warrants or paying any sum or suniB of money pursuant to tho contract In suit upon the plalntff filing with tho clerk a bond In tho sum of $1,000. "Nothing herein, however, Bhall be held to In nny way restrain the said county officers from entering Into a contract with tho eald Cunalngham for the payment to him of a sura not to exceed 15 per cent of the moneys to collected." Tho contract entered Into by tho county board with Cunningham provided that the latter wus to recelvo a sum equal to R0 per cent of nil tho moneys recovered Into tho county treasury through his efforts In locating property which had been omitted from asscasmcnt. Shlnn attacked the valid ity of this contract on the ground that the county board hnd no authority to enter Into such a contract, that It was contrary to public policy and further that the contract In question had been annulled by section 5 of chapter 1 of tho acts of tho twenty eighth general assembly. This act pro vided that all SO per cent contracts entered Into by county boards with tax ferrets were null and void unless tho tax ferrot within thirty days after the passago of tho act signified In writing (o accept 15 per cent in lieu of tho 60 per cent. In his application Shlnn also 'asked that tho defendants be restrained from proceed ing to collect taxes or In any manner to carry out tho provisions of tho contract. Tho effect of Judge Tnorndl's order will bo to put a halt on the entire business until tho validity of tho contract Is finally do elded, unless In tho meantime tho count) board should enter Into n new contract with Cunningham on a 15 per rent basis. Tho board will reconvene Monday, when somo action Is looked for. Judgo Thornell, In handing down HI b de cision, Intimated that the contract was con trary to public policy and speculative, In as much as Cunningham on His part agreed to bear all legal expenses that might arise. Cunningham, In answer to a query If ho would bo willing to enter Into a new con tract on a 15 per cent basis, said: "No 1,' per cent goes with me; tho county will havo to stand by Its contract of 60 per cent." In tho event of tho temporary restraining order being mado permanent It Is under stood that Cunningham will at once tnko the caso to tho supreme court. ('nndlilalm for School Hoard.

BOYS ARE WARM PARTISANS Itcpiibllcnils Itefnsp tit Join Mllllnry Coiupii ii- IteiMtiiNc Democratic lOxaiiiliicr Wns Appointed. ATLANTIC, la., Feb. 23. (Special.) There has been a movement on, foot for some time for the organization of a mili tary company In Atlantic and the members were' secured no far as the preliminary matters v ere concerned. Tho adjutant gen eral has sent instructions as to what was to be done, stating that who.i sulllulent numbers were Interested ho would ccmo down to Atlantic nnd appoint a company phyblclun to make the examinations. Tho general did not come, but Instead the appointment of a physician was made from Den Moines, apparently without any consultation of the wishes of the members of tho company, belug Dr. J. M. Emmtrt, thu democratic senator from tho Cass Shelby district. There was nothing ngalnst tho appointment on personal grounds, but n majority of tho prospective members, who wero republicans, and others thought thoy ought to havo something to s.iy on the subject. A vigorous protest was sent In, with tho result that to patch matters up a republican physician, Dr. Campbell, was appointed as "assistant examiner," though it was not apparent what duties ho was ex pected to perform. Tho doctor respectfully declined tho honor ard as a result of tho mattjr several letter's have gone to Dcs Moines, suggest ing tho Impropriety of appointing tho only democratic physician In tho city nnd one who In tho last campaign had denounced tho war In tho Philippines and tho admin istration generally In bitter terms. That he should bo appointed to the position In n company organized by young men who had served In tho Philippines was n llttlo too much to stand without some resentment. As n. result no examinations hnvo been held and none probably will be and there will bo no company In Atlantic.

It Is now stated that Mr. Polk of Des Moines Is not Interested In tho proposition. Thero Is 11 growing sentiment in this city against a subsidy of nny kind, but If tho people who nro anxious to build tho road want to do so It Is believed they will bo ublo to get n franchise.

Tho Wlutersot Nows, In this week's Issue, dees not espouse tho tux proposition and Its editorial tone Is ngalnst tho voting of a tax until bucIi Information Is given the peoplo from tho promoters that will Insure them that the franchise Is not desired for speculative pur poses. Some of tho Des Moines papers ridicule tho contemplated project und say It Is n plpo dream. Tho merchants here do not favor tho road on tho ground that It would divert trado to Des Moines. Mr. Waterman (.aid ho would causo tho circulation of peti tions In order to get tho matter bofore the peoplo for a voto tin the franchise, but no movement In that direction has been started as yet.
