COMPLETE SURPRISE TO THE SOLDIERS Had Promised to Help Company In Ita Kfforla, bnt o orh Urn- ernaa C. I ft Had Been Anticipated. General Orenvllle M. Dodge liaa given further substantial proof of hla inter-eat In the local mi'.ltla company which bears hi rame. The Dodge Light Guards have been long In ned of a suitable armory, and now, through the generosity of General Dodge, they will shortly be located In adequate uuarien. ' Announcement was made yester day tnat General Dodge had purchased the property known a the "Rink barn" at the c-iirner ot Fifth avenue and Pearl street and would present It to the Dodge Light Guards for an armory. The property wus recently purchased by W. S. Minnlck . Son, the liverymen, for Tf.'Kvj. with the Intention of using It for a II'. cry barn. When they essayed to erect a frame addition In the rear of the property they were stopped by the city on account of the fire limit regulations. The. Mlnnlcks. then succeeded In securing another lease on . their Hroadw.iy barn and were wllMng to dispose of the property to General Dodge v.hen he offered to buy It for an armory tor the Dodge IJght Guards. The old rink building, which was recently the scene of the Catholic and Episcopal chi.rch bazars, had for some time pre viously been occupied by one of the large agricultural implement firms. The building ban u floor space NxSf nnd na the roof is ' girded and there are no pouts to obstruct the floor It will prove an admirable place for an armory and drill haM for the militia compuny. V year ago Adjutant General Hyers noti fied the company thut It would have to pe rnio a suitable armory or else Iw din landed. Kver since then the compuny has betn planning to build an armory, but the work of seeming the necessary funds had proceeded tdowiy and the members had al most licsj'iiired of ever securing suitable quarter. General Dodge's gift comes as a coni l t i urprlse to the, company, although he had promised to assist it in accurlng an armory. Jltlt.K HKtiUKI TO I I.KtR DOCKET, Moat He Slum ii Uuod Iteuson or Old Casea Will Be UUmlaaed. Judge Thornell has decided to clear tho district court docket of all cases which havo encumbered it for over a year without being brought to trial and baa ordered the publication of u list of 200 such cases. Tha attorneys Interested have been notified to show cause March 1 why these cases should not be stricken from the docket under th? rule of the court. This rule has been eri- forced before, but this Is the first time a Judge has resorted to publication to notify the parties Interested.' As had been anticipated, the tult brought by former Deputy Sheriff J, C. Raker against George Mathson for tlO,800 dam ages was settled, and by agreement Mathe son consented to Judgment being entered ugalnst him for $1,500. On tho application of D. T. Albertl and J. K. McCandless the court yesterday Is sued an order for Fied I lngerso 1 and wife, Florence, to appear before Judge Scott of the superior court this morning for examination aa to their property. Albertl is assignee of a judgment for &I.123.31, se cured by Receivers Beresheim and Murphy of the Officer & Puaey bank, againjt In ge rsoll, while McCandless holds a Judg ment for a.70O against him, ooth of which have not been satisfied. McCandless in a separate petition alleges that Ingersoll re cently acquired property In Omaha, the ex pressed conalderation paid for which was $15,000. He asks that Ingersoll be restrained from disposing of tnis property and a com missioner or trustee be appointed by the court to sell the property for his (McCand lejw') benefit. Ingersoll was formerly ex tensively engaged In sheep raising In Boomer township, this county.

No settlement cf the controversy over the additional school facilities for the western part of the city was reached at the meeting of the Board of Education last night. The compromise proposition to erect a $3.".0iJ0 school building of ten rooms In the locality bounded by Sixteenth street on the east. Twentieth street on the west. Broad way on the south and Avenue G on the no-lb. wa nullified by another petition in troduced by Attorney Stewart on behalf of a large number of residents In the west ern part of the city afcking that the propo sition to levy $26.CV0 for the purpose of building an addition to the Avenue H school be submitted to the voters. Thla Is the original proposition supported by the west endcrs and favored by the board. After listening to a considerable amount of oratory from the advocates of the dif ferent prepositions the board decided to defer action until this evening. In the event of neither faction receding from Its position, as all petitions have the requisite numler of signers, the board will have to submit three propositions to the voters at the election next month namely, the one calling for a $28,000 addi tion to the Avenue B school, the one call Ing for the erection of a $35.0"O new building between SUteemh and Twentieth streets and the one railing for the erection of a new school of four rooms to cott $15,000 and located between Eleventh and Twen tieth streets. The report of the finance committee, which the law requires to be published prior to the annual school election, shows that the, finances of the district are about $10,000 better off than list year. In the contingent fund the total receipts ware $."1. K17.N5. and disbursements $44,121 &1. leav Ing an overdraft of $9.3u3.78 on February It, as against an overdraft of $8,171 R9 at the same time last year. . la the teachers fund Uie receipts for Ut year war $M.. oltj.21. and there was a balanc on hand of ll.flM.W, as against an overdraft of l'!.7fi91 last year. In the school housp fund the total receipt were I1S.219.04. with a balance on hand of $3.U4.7r. aa agnlnst an overdraft of 7 last year. The committee submitted the following estimate of the amounts needed for the maintenance of the achools for the ensu ing year: Teachers' fund. $70,100; con tingent fund. J.TK.0fn; school house fund for Interest. I9.1K0. making a total of I114,l'. This estimnte does not bind the Incoming board, which can levy whatever It deems necessary. The law. however, requires that this estimate be made and published prior to the annual clertlon. MOK TOWARD PAtlU BROADWAY. City Council Takes First Step look ing to the Improvement. The city council spent the greater part of last night's session In discussing the question of paving Iower Broadway and finally decided to make a start by ordering the city engineer to prepare a plat and schedule showing the cost of paving n strip thirty-six feet In width. Including curbing, from Thirteenth street to the east approach of the motor company's bridge nnd the assessed valuation of the abutting property. City Attorney Snyder gave It a his opin ion that the only manner in which the city council could Improve Broadway would be adopting a resolution declaring the necessity of paving the thoroughfare and then assessing the cost, as far as possible, against the abutting property and paying the deficit out of the Improve ment fund by Issuing warrants on that fund extending through a series of years not to exceed ten. the contractors to nc cept these warrants tho same ns they do assessment certificates against property. Another lengthy communication from tho West Knd Improvement club relative to tho necessity of paving Dower Broadway was received In which the club called at tention to tho fact that property abutting on this thoroughfure was rapidly depre ciating In value owing to Its condition. W. T. Seaman and wife In a communica tion urged the paving of the street and offered to purchase a number of lot owned by the city abutting It and pay their share of the cost of the Improve ment. The First Precinct, First Ward Improve ment club was granted the use of the council chamber for a meeting place once a month when not needed by the council. Charles Atwood, secretary of the club, addressed tho council relative to the al leged needs of that part of the city, which he claimed had not received Its proper share of improvements. This brought forth a retort from Aldermen Casper, Hu ber and McDonald, who proceeded to show Mr. Atwood that the city had expended more money In Improvements In the First ward than In any other part of the rlty. The request of F. J. Day that his pav ing assessment on Tenth avenue be re duced from $450 to $350 was granted. A petition from Interested property own ers that the width of Avenue I, between the Illinois Central tracks and the Driv ing park, be reduced from eighty to sixty feet was favorably acted upon and th city solicitor Instructed to draft an ordinance providing for the change. ' Mayor Morgan's appointment of A. It. Hmith as a member of the police force wa concurred In and Smith's bond approved. City Auditor Evans took a flashlight pho tograph of the council at the opening of the session. Survives Wife Five Dys.

The debate wait on this motion to substitute. The bill met Its defeat on this motion to substitute a minority rcixirt for the ma jority, which was Carried, 49 to 311.

Senator Brooks' bill prnhlbllrlig tho dis ci argo of firearms In public highways was adopted. The morning session ot the senato opened with the nsuul flood of petitions, Including a large number for woman suffrage. One of these wa from the constituents of Sen ator Gale and measured several yards In length, containing more than 700 names. Several petitions were read, one from Dubuque and ono from Clinton, protesting ngainst the adoption of Senator Young's bill which forblda blacklisting or picketing In times of labor strikes. The petitions were from the labor unions of the cities numed. New Bills Introduced.

Gate Receipts at the Pen. The measure Introduced by Senator Young of Ie for the disposition of gate receipts at the state penitentiaries Is a bill favored by the State Board of Control. The money so collected under the present law can only be expended for libraries for the prisons. At prvent there Is on hand In this fund at Fort Madlson and Anamosa a sum amounting to nearly $4,000. After deducting $1,600 of . this for future use In buying books for tho libraries of the two prisons, more than, $2,000 will remain. It Is useless and the board wants to take It for the purchase of libraries for the schools at Mltchellvllle and other state reforma tories. The sum Is increasing at the rate of about $100 a month. State Marshal Bill. The house committee on suppression of Intemperance gave a hearing today on the bill to establish a system of district mar shals for the especial duty of enforcing the prohibition law of the state. The hearing was arranged for ministers ofjthe gospel who desired to speak on the meas ure. A large number of them arrived In the city to appear before the committee, though only a few could speak because of the limited time given to committee work. A. C. Rankin, the father of the movement, engineered the argument to the committee and he ia more able than anyone else to talk In persuasive manner on the merits of the scheme. It appears that the entire hope of getting the bill out on the floor of the houae Is by the votes of four demo cratic members of the committee, who will only vote to recommend tha bill for passage as a partisan trick to embarrass republican members of the house. As the democratic members are not disposed to do very much of this kind of work It Is regarded aa doubt ful If the bill geta to the floor of the house. Monument to Indian. The bill to appropriate for a monument to be erected to the memory of General Joseph M. Street and Chief Wapello la pending In the senate. It Is proposed that the state erect a monument for two of them and that private contributions pur chase the site of the old agency near the town of Agency, where General Street had headquarters. The graves of the two are very close to the main line of the Burling ton railroad and the company owns a plot of ground near the graves. It la believed that If the state would erect monuments nnd acquire the old ugency building provi sion would be made locally for caring for the property. General Street waa a great friend of the Indians and It was the last request of Chief Wapello, the last of tha chiefs of Iowa, that he le burled beside General Street. At that time headquarters were In southeastern Iowa and Agency was an Important town In the new state. Tremor for Regent.
