BUY TOE PINNEY PROPERTY
Library Board Decides in Favor of Von
Ground for Building.
MEMBER STEWART ALONE OPPOSES IT
Revised Plans of Willow Aveaae
Front Show an Ornate Entrance
Faring Bayllsa Park Flat
Roof Adopted.
At the meeting of the Library board last
night It was decided to purchase the Plnney
property as additional ground for the Carne
gie library builrjlng site. The price asked
by Mrs. Plnney for the property, which
adjoins the Pusey lots on the south. Is
$5,200, which Includes the brick buildings
on It. The president and secretary were
aiithorlsed to romplete the purchase after'
the abstract had been referred to the city
attorney and the title approved by him.
Member Stewart alone1 voted against the
proposition, on the grounds that the price
asked was excessive.
The meeting laat night was a most har
monious one and the members appeared to
be of one mind on every matter that came
up after the purchase of the Pinney prop
erty had been decided upon. The rais"d
roof on the new building which was decided
upon at the last meeting did not meet with
the ideas of the members since the draw
ings of the building had been received
from the Chicago architects. The former
action was reconsidered and the library
building will have a flat roof or one that
wilt- not be seen over the balustrade which
will encircle the building. - Several of the
members expressed themselves as favoring
eopper for the roof, and bids on this as well
as other materials will be asked for.
KeW Entrance Is. Artistic.
At the request of the board, Architect
Miller has provided a much more ornate
entrance for the Willow avenue front of
the building, and while it 4s not aa Imposing
as the Main street entrance, it is, If any
thing, more artistic. In order to Include
the columns, the entrance on Willow ave
nue wlll -have a "swell'V front. The board
expressed itself much pleased with the de
sign" and approved the plans submitted by
the architects. '''."
President Roll re r urged that the building.
be provided with' a vault and the archltecta
were directed to Include one In the build
ing. If possible, the vault Is to be on the
main floor, but If this is found too costly
It Is to be placed in the basement.
Dr. F. W. Dean, acting as a committee
from the , Council BlufTs Medical society,
asked that space be afforded in the new
building' for a medical reference library,
and the board acceded to the request. Dr.
.Dean explained that the members of the
various medical societies, of thje city were
planning to form an organisation for the
purpose ' of securing a medical reference
library. The members would be charged-a
small fee, which would be used to defray
the expenses of binding and preserving the
various medical Journals which would be
kept In the library under the charge of
the librarian, and thus In time a valuable
reference library would be obtained.
The disposition of the buildings on the
Pusey and Plnney properties was discussed
but nothing ' definite . decided upon, as it
was thought It would be sufficient time to
deal with this matter when the plans and
specifications are In the hands of the bid
ders. It la probable, however,, that the
board will advertise for bids for the tto
residence buildings.
Although It was not the regular meeting
night the routine business which would
come up at the monthly session next
Monday night was disposed of. The re
port of the librarian showed that 'during
January 6,8)4 books were given out to pa
trons, of which 3,445 were adults and 2.'.9
children. Up to date $532.62 has been paid
out for such books as are rented to the
patrons of the library .and $542.73 has been
received, thus showing a balance of $10.10
on the right side of the, ledger. .
Rackrr Objects tn Jail Fare.
The troubles of Howard Li Rucker. the
debonnalr real estate, dealer, are multl-l
Plying.
Rucker has the reputation of being con
siderable of a bon vtvant and a man who
ia accustomed to enjoy . the. good things
of this world. The."blll-of:fare offered by
County Jailer Gallup Is, not such as to
stilt the epicurean! palate of Mr. Rucker
and yesterday he mude a vigorous pro
test to Sheriff Canning, at being forced to
eat the meiiis provided by the Jailer. ;
This protest was filed after Rucker had
failed to secure his release on a bond fur
nished by A. P. Wlckler of Mills county.
This bond was filed In the case oh "which
Rucker was arrested In Omaha and brought
to this side of the river on requisition
papers. The bond was accepted, as it had
been certified to. by the clerk, of the dis
trict court of Mills county, but It did not
suffice tot get Rucker out of Jail. ,
Anticipating the 'filing of the $1,000 bond
and the possible release of Rucker from the
county jail, T. J. Gearheart, who claims
to have purchased some of the mythical
lots In Oklahoma, filed an information In
Justice Ouren's court charging Rucker
with cheating by false pretenses. " The
court decided that Rucker would have
to furnish another $1,000 bond In this case
and as he was not prepared to do so, was
compelled to remain at the county Jail.
There is also an Indictment returned by
the recent grand jury hanging over
Rucker'a head.' the bond In which was
placed by Judge Thomell at $. Thus
Rucker, before he can secure his liberty.
will have to furnish additional bonds In
the aggregate amount of SI.Rou.
Fnnernl nf Fire Victims. .
The funeral service over Mrs. Peter
Christlanson and her five children, vic
tims of the fire which destroyed their
home Monday .night, held at the Scandi
navian Baptist church yesterday after

where to older of th( Christlanson chll
dren attended, and from the Danish

SOME SALOONS CLOSE DOORS
Prospect that More Will Follow Salt
When Mnlet Taa Payasent
Is Dne.
That the enforcement of the mulct law
will drive a number of saloons out of busi
ness is already apparent. Since the first
of the month, when It was announced that
County Attorney Klllpack had decided to
take a hand In the saloon fight and see
to It that the mulct law provisions were
oicomplied with, seven saloons have closed
their doors and gone out of business.
That this number will be Increased on
March 1 there seems little doubt, as since
the saloons began running according to
the mulct law their receipts have fallen off
over 50 per cent, while their expenses hsve
not depressed. It Is believed that at least
One-third of the saloons now open will
cloee their doors on April 1, at which time
the second quarter of the county tax has
to be paid.
Saloons In Council Bluffs are taxed $A25
In addition to the tsx they pay the gov
ernment. The county tax, amounting to
IflOO per annum, Is paid In four quarterly
installments of $150 each, while the city
tax In payable at the rate of $27.10 monthly.
Nearly all of the saloons had paid the
first quarter of the county tax when
County Attorney Klllpack announced he
Intended to see that the mulct law was
enforced, and this therefore accounts for
the small number which have so far closed
their doors. Thoee which closed had not
paid the county tax.
The outlook In admitted by city officers
to be a gloomy one for the municipality, as
a large portion of the general fund from
which Is paid the expenses of the police
and fire departments, Is derived from the
saloon licenses. With this source of reve
nue materially curtailed, as It will un
doubtedly be, the city will be forced to
reduce the expense of the two most Im
portant departments upon which the cltl
sens rely for protection.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DISS MOINES, Feb. 4-(8pci ial.)-The
legislature today took a step In the direc
tion of determining whether there should
be any effort made at removal of the State
School for the Deaf from Council Bluffs.
The senate adopted a resolution directing
the State Board of Control to report
whether there Is any reason for desiring n
location other than the one near Council
Bluffs and as to the advisability of re
moval to a location more nearly at the
center of the state.- or whether It would
be necessary or wise to establish another
school for the deaf in the eastern part of
the state. A number of petitions have been
presented to the legislature looking (to a re
moval of the school from Its present place,
either to another near Council Bluffs or
near some city In the central part of the
state. No bill has been prepared as yet.
fcvt t lembers are considering the matter
seriously. The Board of Control Is on rec
ord ss favoring a better location than at
present, but not necessarily far from Coun
cil Bluffs.
The amendment to the constitution pro
viding for the Increase In the number of
members of the, house of representatives
from 100 to 10S, offered by M. L. Temple of
Clarke county, was called up and passed
In the house. The resolution submits to
the voters the proposition to so amend the
constitution, the purpose being to provide
at least one member for each county of the
state and to permit of nine of the larger
counties having two members each. The
resolution passed two years ago. and was
adopted today, W to 2. A similar amend
ment, hut providing for 112 members, was
defeated a few years ngo before the people
by a small majority.
Chan are Rule on Wills.
Two bills were adopted by the senate
today, after being favorably recommended
by the committee on Judiciary. One which
was considered of much importance amends
the statutes so as to provide for the up
holding of the contents of a will when a
child Is born after tho execution of the
will. Senators Dunham and Courtrlght
favored the bill In speeches showing the
Injustice of the present state law on that
subject.
Senator Crawford attempted to have
called up his bill doing away with the pro
vision of the statute against the drawing
as Jurors of taxpayers where counties,
towns or cities where they resld are In
terested parties. After debato his motion
was laid on the table.'
Senators "Erlcsori, Crawford and Lyons
were named a committee to draft a series

state and a member of the Eighth general
