The Bourd of Education held a special
meeting last night to discuss the plans for
the eight-room addition to tUe Avenue B
school, for which a tax of $25,000 was voted

favors raising the old building so as to
provide a high basement, which can be
used for manual training, class rooms and
allow the Installation of a heating plant.
The old wing will be retained Instead of
being torn down, as originally planned,
and will be converted into a corridor. If the
amount appropriated will permit of It,
the board will probably decide on remodel
ing the building so that with the addition
fourteen Instead of twelve rooms will be
provided.

cided upon last night and another meeting
will be held Saturday afternoon.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April ?. (Special.) The
big drainage bill, on which committees
of the legislators have been at work dur
ing nearly all the session of the legislature,
goes to the governor for his signature to
morrow. This Is regarded by all as the
most Important legislation of the entire
legislative session. It completely revises
the drainage laws of the state somewhat
after the Illinois statute. The bill passed
the house today with only two negative
votes. The merits of the bill were stated
by Representative Wright, one of the men
who had framed It. Amendments were
proposed to limit the powers of the drain
age trustees, and to further protect min
ority owners of land, but all amendments
were voted down. Representative Hanna
made a plea for the defeat of the bill on
the ground that It would result. In prac
tical confiscation of large areas land In
northern Iowa where great drainage dis
tricts are planned. Despite this the belief
was general that the law would prove u
good one, and at leaBt a start In the right
direction.
Provide for a. Census.
The census of Iowa to be taken next
year under state authority will lie in the
control of the state executive council, and
It will be more complete than any census
ever taken by the state. It will be not
only an enumeration of the people, but a
census of agricultural and other industries
and a compilation of information regarding
the soldiers of the state. Provision will
be made for the fullest Information on all
subjects and It Is to be gathered by the
assessors at the time of making the an
nual assessment next winter. The bill for
the census parries an appropriation of
$15,000 for doing the work after the facts
are collected.
Future of Regrets' Bill.
It Is planned that a committee of the
legislature shall make a thorough investi
gation of the state colleges and report on
the need of a central board to control
them to the next general assembly. The
bill to create such a board failed because
of the lack of time In which to complete It
at this session, but the sentiment in the
legislature is now overwhelmingly for the
Idea of a central board. The sentiment had
been growing rapidly, largely because of
the failure of members to secure what
they believed to be reliable Information on
the finances of the Institutions. The re
gents bill will be laid away and next ses
sion will come up early and will most
likely be passed,
Appropriation for Institutions.
The house this afternoon commenced the
work of making the appropriations on the
educational and other institutions. The
bill, which . carries 1671 XX) was taken up.
The first effort made was to .strike out
all appropriations for the new dairy build
ing at the State college at Ames and there
was much argument to the effect that the
'dairy business In Iowa has become a de
clining one and that It Is no use to tench
the farmers how to make butter. There
was also effort to cut out the engraving
department at Iowa City. Tho amend
ments were all defeated and the bill passed.
Reformatory for Pennies.
The bill providing for the establishment
of a reformatory for females In Iowa and
the transfer of female prisoners from Ana
mosa and others from Mltchellville thereto,
and regulation of the same, was reported
to the bouse today for passage. The bill
had been In committee a long time and It Is
favored by the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union of Iowa. It provides for a
large class of unfortunate girls who can
neither be sent to the penitentiary or the
reform school and who are permitted to go
unchecked until they become criminal. It
Is believed the bill will pass the house and
unless the sifting committee In tho senate
opposes It will become a law.
The house received and laid over under
thn rule till Friday a resolution directing
the state mine Inspector In the Third dis
trict and the state labor commissioner to
make Inspection of the gypsum mines in
Webster county, where 209 miners are em
ployed, and to report to the next general
arsembly on their condition and the need
of regulation thereof for the action of the
next legislature. All efforts In 'this legisla
ture to secure legislation for the Inspection
of tho gypsum mines have failed.
Mnlct Petltloaa Win Oat.
The house received the report of the
committee on suppression of Intemperance,
recommending for defeat the bill to limit
the time of a mulct petition so that after
three years 25 per cent of the voters might
compel a new petition to be filed.
The house paused a bill permitting the
running of an electric railway rver the
state ground at Eldnra.
The bill to allow cities and towns to con
tract for mutual support of libraries with
colleges was reported and passed. It ap
plies to Cornell college at Mount Vernon.
A bill to allow diversion of some of the
funds arising from mulct taxes to library
purposes was passed. . , , , '
To Repair the Capitol.
The appropriation .committee bill, carry
ing t20t,740 for the restoration of. the burned
portion of the capttol building and for Im
provements and repairs on the building
during 1904 and 1906, was passed by the
senate this morning. The bill makes neces
sary the addition of a special tax levy of
three-tenths of a mill on the dollar for all
assessable property In the state.
An attempt 'to get the Stookey resolu
tion, requiring the appointment of a to re
mission of three from the house, and two
from the senate to investigate the neoesrity
of preparing a law for a board of regents
for the state educational Institutions, to
report to the next general assembly, up
for consideration proved a failure on ob
jection of Warren o Marlon. The latter
eald there was yet some chance that the
house might reconsider lis action of yes
terday by which the senate education bill
waa practically killed.
A good part of the day was passei tn a
running debate between Senators Court
light. Jamison and Glllllland en the merits
of a house bfll providing for the leaning or
sale of meandered lake beds ef the state.
The bill was finally passed.
The house and senate came to disagree
ment today en the extradition bill, the
two houses having passed different meas
ures. A conference committee win try to
fix up an agreement so that persona who
commit Interstate crimes may be punished.
The senate failed to pass the bin to re
peal the tax ferret law, the rote befog
a tie.
The hmise passed trills for condemning
real estate by the state, to provide for re
ports from state Institutions, to provider for
a (Lata aauX. t finding chiLlraa hoou,
t
and the senate bill to place bank exam
iners on salary.
Th house alxo passed a bin appropriating
I7.SI10 for the relatives of the women killed
in an elevator accident and 11.000 for a boy
Injured at Eldnra.
The house adopted a report for Indefinite
postponement on the hoard of regents bill,
and passed a bljl to require Institutions to
make report.
The house bill for a bacteria college
laboratory was passed by the senate.
Arheol Districts Mixed.
The supreme court had f decide a quar
rel between two school districts of the
same name In one county, in which for
thirty years one district hsd been getting
school money belonging to the other dis
trict One district was wholly In a cer
tain township and the other partly In the
same township and the first named district
had received all the money from taxes
due the last district whUh v.-r.s realised
on that part of the latter dletrlct lying
In the township where ioth were located.
The errors date back to 1872. Settlement
had been made In Marion county for all
since 1896, but the court today held that
the sums claimed prior to that time were
barred by the statute of limitations.
The supreme court upheld, also, a Judg
ment for 1100 against the Northwestern rail
road because of wrongful ejectment of a
passenger from a train in a case In which
the conductor had forgot he had taken up
the ticket.
The following were the flectslons of the
court today:

Fire In Town of Grimes.
Fire, supposed to have been caused by tho
explosion of a lamp In the bank at Grimes,
burned the bank and B. 8. Prunty's hard
ware store at an early hour this morning.
The building was totally destroyed and
only a small part of the contents were
saved. With nothing but buckets and men
to work the pumps the citizens of Grimes
and a large number of farmers fought the
fire and saved It from spreading to stir
rounding buildings. The building which was
burned Is a two-story brick and belonged
to the private bank of whioh W. J. Stewart
Is the owner. The Iors Is estimated be
tween 16.000 and 110,000, partially covered
by Insurance. E. S. Prunty, owner of the
hardware store, had 11.600 Insurance. The
bank was fully Insured.' F. W. McClaln
lost about 1500 in damage to new vehicles
which he was compelled to remove from
a building adjoining the fire.
Pnnctaotloa Is Costly,
A comma Instead of a semicolon caused
the Retail Grocers' association to win thft
suit brought by W. T. Wood for 110,000 dam
ages for malicious prosecution. The In
terpretation placed on the law by Judge A.
H. McVey Is that matters of necessity and
charity do not apply to the buying and
selling of goods on Sunday according to
the reading or the statute; The law says
that anyone "found nilltv nf irrvln Al
arms, hunting, shooting,' i dancing, buying
or selling goods or engnged In any labor
except through necessity or charity," can
be punished. It was held by the court that
if a semicolon had been, placed after the
word goods the matter of necessity or
charity might have applied to selling goods,
but with the comma there the enumeration
of the offenses are all equal.
Removes Poor Farm Steward,
The State Board of Control today or
dered the removal of James C. Brendel as
steward of the men's department at ths
Polk county Insane hospital. Revolting
acta of cruelty are charged. Evidence sub
mitted to the board has been declared by
the board to be good evidence. Brrndel's
Immediate removal will undoubtedly
follow. The board Is empowered by the
new Board of Control law to enforce Its
order, which Is directed to the supervisors.
Specific charges against him, sustained by
tho Board of Control, Include the follow
ing. That he placed an insane woman In a
"crib" for punishment; left her there some
hours and when she was removed a clot of
blood. Indicating dangerous Injury, was
discovered under the skin behind the ear.
That he beat an Insane man with a hoe
handle for four or five minutes and left him
lying In the yard for two hours.
That he kicked a patient who had kicked
his (Brendel's) dog.
That he was habitually rough and ob
scene In his treatment of Inmates.
In concluding the Board of Control finds
Brendal "wholly unfit to be entrusted with
the care of the Insane" and asks that he be
removed "and excluded from all work in
connection with Inmates of either the poor
farm or the Insane hospital."

years old, overtook Kenny at the corner

Kenny fired two shots, one striking Corn
In the arm and the other In ths
abdomen. Kenny then Jumped up and

on his back, carrying him to the ground
with Johnson on top. Kenny still held the
revolver In his hand and pressed" Its muzzle
close ngninst Johnson's face and fired.
The bullet passed through Johnson's Jaw.
Before Kenny could fire again, a pollcemnn
grasped the revolver. By this time several
