In his annual report of the schools of
pottawattumle county, which County Su
perintendent McManus completed yester
day and forwarded to State Superintendent
Barrett, he calls particular attention to
the constantly decreasing number of men
teachers, due to the Inadequate salary
offered by the school districts for their
services. Regarding the tendency of men
to leave the teaching professions Superin
tendent McManus says In his report:
The report shows fewer men teaching
In the county than ever before. It also
shows that the teaching force, as a whole,
has had fewer years of experience In
teaching than those who were formerly
engaged In the work. It shows a greater
tendency than ever to make teaching a
stepping-stone to some ' of the other pro
fessions. Fewer men enter the profession
of teaching, while the years spent In the
school room by the average woman teacher
are fewer than heretofore. The allure
ments of the financial world keep the best
young men from entering the profession
of teaching, because they do not wish to
divorce themselves from wealth, which al
ways has been sacredly kept from the
teachers' possessions. The matrimonial en
tanglements take from the school room
continually some of our best women teach
ers at a time when they could be of
greater servioe to the community. As a
natural consequence our schools are
largely in charge of young women with
little experience In teaching.
We can hope for no better conditions
until better compensation is had by the
teachers of the county. The average salary
now paid to the men teachers of this
pountv Is $47.94, and to women teachers Is
$36. After paying for a library, which
every teacher must have as an equipment,
there Is not enough left over for the
average teacher to live through the vaca-
Tesd Toward Free Books.
Regarding free textbooks Superintendent
McManus reports as follows:
A glance at the reports for the last
decade shows a tendency on the part of
boards of directors to furnish at public ex
pense to the pupils of the district more pf
the pupils' equipment than was true In
former years. It was a difficult matter a
few years ago to get boards of directors
to furnish examination paper, or drawing
paper, which should be uniform, In order
in h iir1 with the greatest facility. In
nearly every school corporation now writ
ing and drawing material Is furnished at
public expense, and In many places school
hoards have gone much farther Bnd have
purchased at public expense reference
books for the use of the entire school, 'and
In not a few Instances all the books re
quired by the pupils are furnished out of
the public fund, thus showing a areater
tendency to emphaslie the real spirit of
the public school, which Is to bring the
greatest good to the greatest number.
The report Is a most voluminous affair
and shows the exact financial condition of
each school corporation in the county. The
amount of money expended Is very large,
but, as the county superintendent explains,
when the great army of children who re
ceive the advantages offered by the publio
schools Is taken into consideration, the
economy of the several boards of educa
tion ia apparent.

Matters ia the Courts.
In the superior court yesterday Judge
Scott handed down a decision In favor of
the plaintiff In the suit of Fremont Ben
jamin against the City of Council Bluffs
and others. The decision, which la In ac
cordance with a ruling of the supreme
court. Is of considerable Importance to the
city, as It relieves the plaintiff from pay
ment of special assessments amounting to
$376 against property on Oakland avenue
which he purchased at tax sale. The spe
cial tuiea were assessed against the prop
erty In question subsequent to the purchase
by Benjamin at tax sale and prior to tne
date of Issue of deed. The supreme court
has ruled that special taxes assessed

which Benjamin Is relieved of paying under
this ruling was assessed against the prop
erty for the paving and sewering on Oak
land avenue. This will now have to be
borne by the city.

EXHIBIT OF IOWA INDUSTRY
Coaacll BlafTs Manufacturers Asked
to Assist in Making a Show.
Ins; at St. Loo Is.
A. C. Hutchlns of Adel, superintendent
of the Department of Manufacturing and
Machinery for Iowa at the St. Louis ex
position, Is In the city. His visit to Coun
cil Bluffs has a two-fold purpose. One is
to canvass the matter of exhibits that
manufacturers of this city may wish to
make at the St. Louis exposition and the
other Is to Interest the local manufacturers
In the Iowa State Manufacturers' associa
tion with a view to their becoming mem
bers. Mr. Hutchlns will meet the manu
facturers and business men of the city
this morning at 10 o'clock In the rooms of
the Commercial club.
Regarding the exhibits from Iowa at the
St. Louis exposition Mr. Hutchlns had this
to say last evening:
"The Iowa commission wishes all the
manufacturing Industries of the state rep
resented. It will do all In Its power to
make their exhibits profitable to them.
About 100 exhibits Id the line of manufac
turing and machinery will be made from
Iowa. For the first time the commission
for Iowa Is endeavoring to have all her
manufacturing Industries represented. All
the principal manfucturlng cities of the
state will make some sort of an exhibit.
Heretofore no appropriation has ever been
made by Iowa commissioners to encourage
exhibitors to show up the varied indus
tries of the state except those or "Hogs
and Hominy." This exhibition will be an
exception In this respect. A Complete
plant showing the pearl button Industry,
which Is strictly an Iowa Industry, will
be In operation at St Louis next year
showing the process ot manufacture, from
the cutting of blanks from the shells to
the finished product. This will be made
from Davenport. The greater number of
exhibits will be In the line of novelties.
,The more staple articles of manufacture
will not be so wall represented."
The objects of the organization of the
State Manufacturers' association, Mr.
Hutchlns stated, were as follows:
First: To maintain a state association
of Iowa manufacturers for the mutual
benefit of its members without profit. Sec
ond: To correct evils attending the credit
system. Third: To promote beneficial
leglHlutlon and to oppose legislation which
la hostile to the interests of Iowa manu
facturers. Fourfh: To abate trade abuses
and Injurious practices and to harmonise
trade relatiuns. Fifth: To secure proper
freight rates and freight classifications
and to extend the markets and secure new
markets for Iowa manufactured products,
both at home and abroad, and to assist in
procuring for its members raw materials
at proper prices. Sixth: To compile and
distribute for the benefit of Its members,
trade information, encourage improve
ments In business methods and generally
advance the Interests of Iowa manufactur-
'"n addition to this It Is the .Intention
of the headquarters to publish monthly
directories of Its membership and to use
all possible means to encourage the pat
ronage of the Iowa manufacturer by the
Iowa jobber.
OBJECT TO NEW NEIGHBORS
West Bad Improvement CInb Protests
Against Location of Lewd
Women.
Copies of the resolution protesting against
the location of houses of Ill-fame In the
western part of the city, adopted at the
meeting of the West End Improvement club
Thursday night, were yesterday served
upon Mayor Morgan, Chief of Police Tib
bits and City Clerk Phillips, the latter for
submission to the city council.
Victor E. Bender, president of the Com
mercial club, Is In receipt of a communica
tion from the West End Improvement club
requesting that a representative of the
Fifth and Sixth wards be placed on the
executive committee of the club.
Children of advanced age who are resi
dents of that portion of Council Bluffs
known as Cut-Off are reported to be at
tending the Omaha High school and pay
ing tulUon. It is believed that if they had
transportation facilities they would attend
the Council Bluffs High school where they
would not be required to pay tuition. This
being the case the West End Improvement
club has taken the matter up and written
to Captain J. F. Merry, assistant general
passenger agent of the Illinois Central
railroad, asking that the company stop Its
trains at the north side of Us bridge In
West Council Bluffs, as Cut-Off la officially
termed.
Another matter which the West End Im
provement club Is agitating Is a stub street
car line on Twenty-first street from Avenue
I A to the Union Paclflo transfer depot. Such
' a line, It Is contended, would be of much
benefit to the residents of the western part
of the city and would also afford paasen
' gers from Omaha a much shorter route to
the transfer depot In connection with this
matter the club tas written President
Stlckney of the Great Western railroad
asking him to take itup with the motor
company.
New Rector far Grace Cbnrch.
Rev. T. J. Brookes, the recently appointed
rector of Grace Episcopal church, arrived
In the city yesterday from Chicago and will
occupy his new pulpit Bunday. His wife
will join hira next week, when- they will
take up their residence In the church rec
tory. Rev. Brookes wa rector of St. Paul's
church of this city from 1871 to 1873 under
Bishop Lee, the first Episcopalian bishop of
Iowa. The church, then a frame b.u!ld!ng,
stood where the county Jail now Is, Imme
diately east of the present handsome edi
fice. Rev. Brookes had not visited the city
since he left It in 1873. and he hardly recog
nized It when be arrived here y eater day
afternoon.
BIG MINING CASE IN CODRT
Appeal in Portland OontroTarrf' Argued in
Enprama Tribunal
TAXATION Of TRUST FUNDS PASSED UPON
Money ia Bank Belonging Iowa
Parties Hat Assessable, hat That
f Nea-Resldeata Mast
Pay Taxes.
' (From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Oct. II (Special.) Tha
Iowa supreme court today listened to an
all-day argument from eminent attorneys
representing litigants in the somewhat
famous mining case from Pottawattamie
county, Involving the mine operations of
James F. Bums, the Colorado Springs mil
lionaire, In the Cripple Creek district The
arguments lasted all day. The case la that
of James Doyle against James F. Burns.
The plaintiff waa "grub-staked" by Burns
and others to do prospect work in tha
Cripple Creek district, and he claimed a
share In certain of the claims, namely, tha
Bobtail No. t, the Tidal Wave and the
Devil's Own. It appears that Burns and
Doyle divided up their bustnesa and that
there waa an exchange of ownership In
various claims, and Burns alleges that he
became sole owner of these claims. But
later Doyle brought suit and finally estab
lished to the satisfaction of the lower court
thst he had a share In the ownership, and
Judgment waa entered for more than 1400,000
In his favor against Burns. It is from thle
Judgment that the appeal has been taken.
Today the arguments were opened by Car
roll Wright of this city for the defendant
Bums, and he waa followed by Congress
man Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs on
the same side, and John N. Baldwin of
Omaha spoke for the plaintiff. This after
noon C. J. Hughes, Jr.. of Denver, spoke for
the plaintiff and former Governor C. S.
Thomas of Colorado closed for the de
fendant In the case.
Taxation of Trnst Fnnds.
The supreme court today elucidated the
law In regard to assessment and taxation
of trust funds. In Davenport trust funde
In the German Savings bank were assessed
for SOO,000, and later the district court re
duced this to $636,660 on a showing by tha
bank of the exact amount held. The su
preme court today reduced this to a7,700 by
elimination or the funds held In trust by
the bank which also belong to residents of
the state. The court took the position that
Inasmuch as the actual owners of these
moneys and credit are residents 6f . the
state they are assessable In their .i.li
and name, and to assess the funds In the
Dann would be double taxation. The trust
funds held for nonresidents were properly
assessed to the bank.
The following were the decisions filed
today by the court.

mittee prosecuted the case with vigor and
showed the connection of various mru.
( with the case and especially the relation of
, E. H. Hunter and N. T. Guernsey with the
rosea which were on trial, and indicated
that the entire matter will be given an
airing. Only one of the defendants ia be
