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.

MIDDLE OVER M IIOOL Bill. DINGS.
Board of Education Now Has Three
Petitions on Its Hands.
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

needed for family expenses. The bill was
rcommended for pussnge by the house ways
and mean committee, but a motion was
made to substitute a minority report signed
by six prominent mpmbers opposing tho

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.

cial deputy county treasurers to collect

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.
The caucus of the republican members
of the Ninth district In the legislature
this afternoon resulted in tha selection of
Dr. V. L. Treynor of Council Bluffs for
regent of the State university. He re
ceived eight votes to five for Sever of
Stuart, only one ballot being taken. He
will be elected in the general caucus
next week.
