WORK IS TO BE COMMENCED AT ONCE

That the coiit of the construction of cul
verts should be paid out of the bridge fund
and not out of the fund at the disposal of
the streets and alleys committee is the
opinion of City Bollcltor Snyder. The opin
ion of the dty solicitor was sought by the
city council at Its last meeting, when Ald
erman Casper, as chairman of the commit'
tee on bridges, objected to the bridge fund
being made responsible for the construction
of the culverts needed In different parts
of the city. Alderman Casper took the
position that the culverts should be con
structed and paid for by the committee
on streets and alleys.
City Solicitor Snyder, after looking up
the law In the matter, yesterday formu
lated Ma report, which he will submit at
the next meeting of the city council. It
Is as follows:
Section 7M of the code provides as fol
lows: "Cities of the first clans shall have
full control of the bridge fund, levied and
collected as provided by law. and shRll
have the right to ue the same for the
construction of bridges and culverts and
approaches thereto and In repairing ths
same."
The language of this section of the code
Is too clear and exnlielt to comment upon.
It Is certainly clear that the Intention of
the legislature was that the "bridge fund"
should be used In the construction and re
pairing of culverts.
Alderman Carper, when notified of the
city attorney's opinion, said he was willing
to abide by it; that all he desired was some
authority to expend the bridge fur.d for
the construction of culverts, whi?h work
he had always been under the Impression
properly belonged to the streets and alleys
commute. The streets and alleys fund has
been practically . exhausted for some time
and were It not possible to construct the
much needed culverts out of the bridge
fund they probably could not be con- I
stracted until next yesr. Ths bridge fund, j
which was almost exhausted' by the ex-
pense of building the bridge over Indian
creek at Myiuiter and North Main streets,
is now In fairly good shape, having been
. replenished by subsequent levy. The cul
vert most needed at present . Is one at
Broadway and Seventeenth street, where
a ditch was cut across the thoroughfare
by residents In that vicinity to release the
water which was flooding ths district
north of Broadway. The ditch Is now be
tween fifteen and twenty feet In width and
It has been decided to replace the former
tile drain with a large brick culvert of
sufficient capacity to carry off the water
from north of Broadway. ' '
Since the ditch was cut by the citlsens
a temporary bridge has sufficed to keep
travel open on Broadway at this point,
but tha structure was merely a temporary
makeshift. Work on the culvert hers will
now be begun without further delay and
the street placed In a safe and properly
passable condition. A number of other
culverts to carry out the ourface drainage
scheme plumed by the city engineer will
also be con-trusted by Alderman Casper's
committee. ' - ,
Alderman McDonald, chairman of the
streets and alleys committee, which
authorized by the city council at lis last
meeting to put in 100 new plank street
crossings In the Fourth. Fifth and Sixth
wards, completed yesterday tho work of
locating the 'places where these crossings
are most needed. They will be about
equally divided between the three wards
and the work of laying them will be begun
Monday. Theft; crossings are especially
needed In those, parts of the city where the
recent flood washed the old ones away. In
these districts there Is also a great need of
new sidewalks and many of the streets in
the south part of the city are entirely
without walks stnro the flood. " , ,

Eiflaaatloa of Esploaloa.
No satisfactory explanation of the explo
sion of illuminating gas In the telephone
company' conduits on Main street Thurs
day evening was forthcoming yesterday.
The gas company had men at work all day
trying to locate the supposed leak In the
gas main on North Main street. The pav
ing was torn up In a- number of places, but
the leak was not located. There Is also
considerable difference of 'opinion as to
what Ignited the gas and caused ths explo
sion. The gas people advance the opinion J
that the gas became Ignited from a spark
caused by a stray current from the electric
wires getting on the. measuring wires,
which have been strung through the con
duits.' .
Ths damage' done to' the man hole on
North Main street was repaired, yesterday i
as far as possible. The large casting, mess- '
urlng some six feet 'in ' diameter, which
formed a covering for the man hole, was
found to have been broken by the force of
the explosion. Examination yesterday
showed that the damage had been confined
to ths manhole and that the conduit tiling
had not been Injured. ' Considering the force
of . the explosion it la considered remark
able that no greater damage was done.

The West End Improvement club Is noth
ing If 'not progressive. The members are
now planning to erect a clubhouse in tho
western port of the city. The club has a
large membership and the attendance at
It neetlngs Is such that the county build
ing at the corner of Twenty-fourth street
and Avenue ft is too small to accommodate i
It
The plan now tinder consideration and the j
one most favqred by the members Is to
erect a two-story building having a atore
room on the ground floor, with a large hall '
and anterooms above. The store room could
be made a revenue producer, while the hall '
above, In which the club would hold Its
meetings, could also be rented out to other :
organisations. It Is proposed. If the project
la carried to a successful completion, to '
comfortably furnish the hall and later on
If the patronage warrants- It, establish a'
reading room and small library for the use
of the residents of that portion of the city.
In connection with the clubrooms the club .
hopes that at somo future date a branch of
the public library will ba located In that
portion of the city, when It will offer the
use of Its rooms for that purpose.

the Dodge Light Guards and Doane college

and expect to make a much better showing
than they did In the game with Ames col
lege.' This will be the Guards' lineup this
afternoon: Chestnut, left end; Knox, left

TALK OF THE SPEAKERSHIP
Clark of Dallas Oomty Appear! to B tka
Moit Liklj Candidato.
TEMPLE AND KINDALL ALSO MENTIONED
Latter, However, Anaoaacea He Is for
Clarke aad Temple Has Hot Dis
closed Hlaaself la too
Contest.
' (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Nov. . (Special.) Specu
lation has already commenced as to who
are likely to be candidates lor speaker of
the house In January. Oeorere W. Clarke
of Dallas county is a candidate, and It was
hinted some time ego that M. L. Temple
of Clarke and N. E. Kendall of Monroe
would be candidates. But tbe election re
sulted In tho victory of a larger number
of men who were counted as for Clarke
than for any other and it ts now believed
that Clarke will be selected as speaker
practlcally without opposition. It Is learned
that Kendall will not be a candidate, but
will support Clarke, while Mr. Temple has
as yet not announced his Intentions. The
defeat of a number of candidates for the i
house in the southern part of the state
has weakened Temple and his losses were
more than those of Clarke. The legisla
ture will be controlled very much as tho
last one and If this Is the case Clarke will
be the speaker. The democrats will have
a 'arger number of members In the house
and this will be an advantage to the re
publicans, as In the last legislature they
were embarrassed by their riches.
Appeal In Contempt Cases.
Two of the citizens prosecuted for con
tempt of court In connection with Jury
fixing and fined, have appealed to the su
preme court. These are Michael Drady,
ex-alderman, and E. H. Hunter, capitalist
and lobbyist. - They havo gone to the si
preme court with certiorari proceedlnsa to
test the proceedings and they claim that
the court had not the right to hear evi
dence In a contempt case and proceed to
Inflict a fine without a trial by Jury. The
point Is raised that the whole proceedings
was In conflict with the constitution of
the state and the constitution of the United
States. The trial will raise somo interest
ing questions and strong arguments are
expected before the supreme court. The
fines were Inflicted by Judge Jofiah Given
of he district court, who was for twelve
years on the supreme bench and this will
have some weight, but the cases are to be
fought bitterly.
Invest larates State I'alverslty,
The State Board of Control has Just com
pleted examination of the finances of the
Iowa State university at Iowa City and'
will embody the report in their biennial re
port to the state legislature. This report
will be filed with other reports, Including
tha examination of the State college and
the State Normal school, but the board will
not make recommendations affecting the
management of these educational Institu
tions. The board of trustees of the State
college is preparing to make a report in
which it will ask for a large approprla
Uo i for the next biennial period nggm
gating nearly 11,000,000. The institutions
have all grown so rapidly that the de
mands for large appropriations will be
much greater than usual.
End t'oonty feat Contest.
A long-standing county seat contest was
disposed of at the last election) being the
contest between Concord and Garner, In
Hancock county. Concord Is the present
county reat, and In a small town. Girner,
only a short distance away, has been mak
ing a fight for removal the punt ten or
twelve years. At the election the matter
was finally voted on, and Garner secures
the county seat. In the meantime the peo
ple of Garner .had already built a good
court house, which la to be given to the
county, and under the terms of the vote
this Is accepted. The county will therefore
be in a position to move at once into the
court house already prepared. The new
building and grounds cost $45,000.
Indictment of n Doctor.
The Polk county fcrand Jury today In
dicted Dr. W. R. Trotter for murder in the
second degree, in connection with the un
accountable death of Miss Cora Lacey of
MltchellvlUe, at his home some weeks ago.
Ray Gregg, the young man who destred
to marry Miss Lacey, and who tried to
get a license to marry her and was re
fused, was not Indicted, though he is still
held in Jail as accessory to the crime.
' Contest Over Election.
It is learned that there will be one con
test In the next legislature, and that Mark
Furry,- present member from Hardin coun
ty, will not allow William Weldon to take
hia seat until he haa cleared the election
of s 11 suspicion. Weldon Is a republican,
elected on the democratic ticket. He was
supported chiefly In Iowa Falls, and the
vote there was what gave him a majority.
But it Is discovered that the vote for Wel
don In Iowa Falls Is many hundred! larger
than the total vote of the town in past
elections. A claim of fraud is made, and
this will form the basis of a contest In the
legislature. Furry was backed by the
stale committee and regular organization,
and the fight was a bitter one.

trict court against C. II. Crabtree and tile

North Nebraska Conference to lie
Helped, While Nebraska Mast

KANSAS CITY. Mq., Nov. ' , Another
effort was made today before the general
committee on church .extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church to secure as
sistance for the Methodists of Oberlin, O.,
In the erection of a $2,000 church failed. Tha
discussion brought about several pointed
tilts and at one time Bishop Cranton ob
jected to a statement made by Bishop Good
sell and the chair was forced to call for
order. Yesterday the committee decided
lhat the rule limiting the church extension
work to assisting in the erection of bui.d
ings not costing more than $10,000 should be
maintained.' ' ;.
The motion to suspend ths rule was made
In the Interest of ths Oberlin church and
today the supporters of the Oberlin move
ment moved a reconsideration of yester
day's action. - Th. motion was -lost by a
vote of 24 to 18. A plan to give the North
Ohio conference, in which Oberlin Is
located, 15,000 to be used as the conference
saw fit on the Oberlin church alsO failed by
a vote of nearly two to one. The North
Ohio conference was than asked . to sub
scribe $6,600 to the church extension fund
and it was promised , one-fifth of that
amount.
Then the committee resumed the work of
voting money to. aid struggling churches:
Tho following amounts were authorised, the
