the county with a view to a ystematlo
and proper expenditure of the road funds.

expenditure, of thl money haa been with

money levied for road purpose hae been
divided among the three trustee of the
township, who have expended it where they
deemed fit. The result ha been that in
nearly a!) of the townships there have been

three separate gang of men working on

At the meeting this afternoon It will 1m
recommended that the townships organise
and that wherever feasible two or more
townships consolidate for the purpose of
improving the publio thoroughfares. By
consolidating It is argued considerable ex
pense can be saved, leaving a larger sum
to be spent directly on the road. The
plan In consolidating the townships Is to
have one road supervisor or superintend
ent and but one gang of workmen experi
enced In the line of making roads. Under
this plan each townahlp will, however, re
tain the supervision and direction of the
expenditure of Its road fund.
It will also be recommended that proper
returns be made by each township of the
money expended on It roads each year
and same filed with the county board.
Heretofore the township trueteea have
rnde no reports of the money expended by
them.
Colonel Baker, president of the county
association, who has given the subject
much attention, has Investigated the plan
recently adopted in Wright county, this
state, whereby several of the township
consolidate for the purpose of Improving
the public highways and expending the
road fund. He favors the adoption of thl
plan in Pottawattamie county aa being the
most economical and Productive of the best
results.

Plumbing and Heating. Bixby A Son.
Lighting m Berlons Problem.
The question of lighting the buildings on
the new poor farm Is proving one which
the county supervisor find extremely dif
ficult to solve. The board spent practically
all of yesterday's session listening to repre
sentatives of rival acetylene gaa companies,
but without arriving at any decision In the
matter.
Supervisors Brandes, Baiter and Kerney
voted In favor of installing an acetylene
gaa plant, but in this are opposed by
Supervisors Dryden and Bullia. The two
latter favor using kerosene lamps until
such time as the county la able to Install
a dynamo and light the buildings with
electricity. As a compromise Supervisors
Bullls and Dryden moved that tallow can
dles be used as the Illumination power at
the poor farm, but were voted down by
the other three members.
Supervisors Brandes, Dryden and Kerney
were appointed a committee to purchase
and contract for the heating plant and
plumbing for the poor farm buildings and
the county auditor was instructed to ad
vertlae for bids. Supervisor Brandes was
authorised to purchase the laundry ma
chinery. It was decided to place 310,000 Insurance
on the poor farm buildings for one year.
The board deferred Its visit to the poor
farm until Thursday.

Bryan Stops In Des Moines for a
Few Honrs, hot Does Not Call
on Aay of His Political
Friends.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 13.-(Speclal.) The
state anti-saloon meeting today adopted a
number of recommendations aa to changea
in the laws and other mattera affecting the
control of the liquor business in the state.
The legislative committee waa Instructed
to work for a change in the pharmacy law
providing that blanks for the sale of
liquors shall be procured from the county
auditors and their number 'shall be re
corded. They will work for a law to limit
the life of a saloon consent under petition
to five years, so that after Ave years the
matter of asking consent of the people of
a city or county will have to be done over
again. A minority report of the legislative
committee pronounced against the entire li
cense law of the state and demanded Its
repeal. This was ' not adopted. The
resolutions adopted also approve the Hep
burn bill In congress affecting shipments
of liquor Into a state, and also approve
a bill to prohibit shipments Into a territory.
A great right waa had in the convention
over the aelectton of a superintendent to
look after the enforcement mattera. H. H.
Abrams, who has been superintendent for
some years, was opposed on political
grounds, and it was decided that the se
lection should be left to a committee. An
other Important recommendation approved
was that the state should provide a separ
ate Institution for the care of the inebriates
of the state and not undertake to effect a
cure In the hospitals which are designed
solely for the Insane people. Oeneral James
B. Weaver presided at the meeting thla
afternoon. It Is expected that the following
officers will be elected at the session be
fore its close tomorrow:

Bryan on Way Home.
W. J. Bryan stopped over in Des Moines
last night on bis way home to Lincoln from
the east He had been to New York and
had intended to go to Europe from there,
but stated here that something unex
pected had turned up which led him to
return to his home. He will leave there
In three or four days and sail for Europe,
He remained in Des Moines, but a few
hours and did not call on any of his po
litical associates. Ho had been asked to
participate In the state campaign, but has
not even replied to the courteous note
which waa addressed to him by the demo
cratic state committee.
Ex-Governor. Boles Writes a Letter.
Some additional bitterest has been added
to the state campaign by a letter from ex
Governor Bolea in which he expounds hla
well known vlewa. in regard to the tariff
and to trusts. He takes strong grounds
against any protective tariff and declares
that protection for Industries Is a thing
of the past and a tariff to raise money to
pay off a national debt is no longer
needed. He calls attention to the fact,
as he views It, that In this campaign the
thing of greatest importance Is the tariff
and that if Iowa, an agricultural state,
how an Inclination to recede from the
protective position it will be a sign to the
country that the farmer are opposed to the
high tariff position. The governor wa in
vited to take part in the campaign, but
wrote this letter in its stead. It will be
wldoly circulated by the democratic com
mittee. Grader Going; Booth.
Three hundred workmen on the Rock
Island's extension from Wlnterset to
Greenfield, the work on which was stopped
at the recent meeting In Davenport, are
in Des Moines today on their way to New
Mexico, for which point they will leave
tomorrow. The teams and Implements are
at Valley Junction and the contractors,
Corbett & Shurley, are taking the men
south to work during the winter for the
Santa Fe. The shipment of the men south
puts a quietus on all hope in Madison
county that the work would be continued
this winter. There is a feeling that F. W.
Cherry, who has been in that section sur
veying an lnterurban line, may have had
some hand in stopping the work.
Iowa Court is Ipheld.
Notice waa received today from the
United Statea supreme court to the effect
that the Iowa court has been upheld in
a case from Clay county, entitled Gano
against Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad,
In which was involved the constitutionality
of an Iowa statute. The case was carried
un hecjLtisa nf nlulm that thk Inwn 1 ...
which provides that the railroad company
shall pay attorney fees for the property
owner in certain condemnation proceed
ings was illegal because it was not of
uniform application and discriminated
against the railroad corporations in thl
state. The courts hold that this is not
discrimination.

"I . want a pair of rubbers"
When you do want a pair of rub
bers that's what you say to your shoe
man. He asks what size, and hands
you a pair; you try 'em on, and if they
fit you take them.
You don't say anything about
quality; you don't ask if they're good
rubbers. "What's the use; they're good
as any; none of them any good. But
they'll keep my feet dry today, anyhow."
It's very common, and very foolish,
now that Selz Royal Blue rubbers are
ready for you. They are better-than-usual
in quality; they supply the only
thing you want in rubbers good service.
They are worth asking for and insisting
on for that very reason. You'll pay the
same price for them as for the uncertain
kind.
