A special meeting of the Board of Edu
cation has been called for this afternoon
at the office of Secretary Ross. The ac
tion of the board last Tuesday In deciding
to certify to a levy of $135,000 for the
maintenance of the schools Of Council
Bluffs for the ensuing year has not met
with favor at the handa of the taxpayers.
The general opinion appears to be that the
Increase In the school levy as decided upon
by the Board of Education aa 111 advised at
this time and the meeting of the directors
this afternoon is for the purpose of dis
cussing the matter and see if it Is pos
sible to scale the levy down any.
Acting on the report of the finance com
mittee, the Board of Education at Its reg
ular meeting last Tuesday night decided
that a total levy of $135,0( would be nec
essary for school purposes for the ensu
ing year. The amount needed In the dif
ferent funds was decided to be as follows:
Teachers' fund
Bonds and interest
Avenue B school building fund.
Contingent fund
Text book fund
Transporting children fund ....
.$ 75,000
. lO.OW
. 2S,tK
. X.uOO
. 6.00

.$1 55.000
Total
This is an Increase of $23. OW over the
levy for the present school year, which
was aa follows:
Teachers' fund $ 70.000
School house fund 20.'0
Contingent fund 3f.0i0
Text-book fund
Total $130. (00
What Levy la For.
Of the proposed levy of $li5.&X for th
ensuing year, $25,000 was adlhorlxed by the
vote of the people at the school election,
this amount to be used for the addition to
the Avenue B school. This the board can
not scale down. The levy for the teachers'
fund was raised from ITO.OW to $T5,iJS, the
extra $5,000 being to meet the Increase in
teachers' salaries decided upon by the
board. There are many who are of the
opinion that with all the other expenses,
It was ill advised of the board to decide
to raise salaries at this time. Tho board,
however, having once made the announce
ment that it Intended Increasing the sal
aries, can hardly rescind its action now,
at least this Is the feeling of several mem
bers of the board. They say It would be
unfair to the teachers.
The $10,000 required In the bonds and in
terest fund cannot bu scaled down as the
district must meet the Interest on Its out
standing bonds. The finance committee
recommended that $30,000 be levied for this
fund In order that $10,000 of the bonded In
debtedness might be paid oft this year, but
tho board, after considerable discussion.
In view of the other extra expenses, pre
ferred to defer the payment of any of the
bonds and decided to only levy sufficient lo
meet the annual Interest.
The contingent fund was left tho same
as last year, namely, $35,000. and this
amount the members of the board declare
la absolutely necessary, as the cost of all
repairs to buildings and other extraordi
nary expenses roust be met from thia fund.
This the members of the board say. cannot
be scaled down.
While $5.0uu was decided upon for the free
text-book fund, It Is said that $3,500 will
be sufficient for thia purpose, and here
the board will be able to lop off $1,500. For
the transportation of children from the
districts where schools have been closed
to other schools $5,000 was ordered levied.
Thla sum, however, Is far In excess of
what will be needed, as the cost of trans
portation does not exceed $900 a year. In
making these two latter estimates the
board expected to be able to transfer the
surplus in these two funds to the con
tingent fund as needed. It Is expected,
according to statements made by members
of the board yesterday, that the levy for
the transportation of pupils will be cut
out altogether and the expense paid from
the contingent fund. At the beat, mem
bers of the board say, tfley cannot see
aiow they can reduce the levy more than
iu,wu, ana possiDiy not as muco.

DIK9 tt'DDESLY II THE COlItTTIOOM
Depsty Sheriff Fred Petersoa Vlatlsa
of Heart Disease.
Fred Peterson, deputy sheriff and bailiff
of the district court, died suddenly In the
court room about S o'clock yesterday morn
ing, supposedly from heart failure. Hs
was alone In the room at the time waiting
for the Jury, of which he had charge, to
arrive at a rerdict. When found by John
Hill, assistant Janitor of the building.
Peterson was seated In a chair near the
table In the center of the court room, with
his right hand pressed against his heart
and his hesd partly thrown back, Ex
amination showed that life was extinct
and that death had come with terrible
swiftness to the popular court officer, who
had filled that position for nearly five
years.
Peterson had been at the court hoase all
night In charge of the jury In the Dowers
Pea rim an damage suit. The Jury having
failed to arrive at a verdict during the
night Peterson took them to the Kiel hotel
shortly before T o'clock for breskfast. He
took breakfast with them and according
to the members of the Jury ate a hearty
meal and apparently was In his normal
stste of health. After psrtaklng of break
fast the jury ssked to be permitted to take
a short walk before returning to the court
house, as after being locked up all nigh
they needed some fresh air. Peterson con
sented and the Jury walked around three
or four blocks and then returned to the
court house.
On reaching the district court room on
the second floor Peterson, who was mop
ping his brow. In reply to one of the
Jurors who asked him what was tht mat
ter, replied that he felt sick. "I guess,
however. It is nothing serious." he said
aa he handed the keys of the Jury room to
Ovlde Vlen, foreman of the Jury, asking
him to unlock the Jury room on the third
floor snd leave the keys on the outside
and he would come up In a minute or two
and get them.
A few minutes later Hill, on re-entering
the eoLrt loom, noticed that Peterson had
fallen bark tn his chslr. He at once sum
moned his son, who raised the unconscious
man's head, but realizing that he was
either dead or on the point of death, tele
phoned for Dra. Treynor and Barstow, the
latter who lives nesrby being Boon on the
scene. In the meantime Clerk Reed of the
district court and Court Reporter Brulng
ton. who had reached the court house, did
what they could for the unconscious man
by unloosening his clothing. They found
that his heart still fluttered, although Dr.
Barstow on arrival pronounced the man
dead.
Coroner Treynor ordered the body re
moved to Lunkley's undertaking rooms and
decided that an Inquest was unnecessary.
Judge Wheeler was notified and he hast
ened to the court house. After receiving
the verdict from the Jury he adjourned
court until Monday morning.
Mr. Peterson was M years of age and
leaves a widow and one son. He had been
a resident of this county since the early
'60s. He formerly conducted a grocery In
Weston and later removed to this city.
When Sheriff Canning was chief of police
Peterson acted as deputy city marshal.
He had been bailiff of the district court
about five years and was much liked by
the judges, attorneys and others having
business In the courts. He was a leading
member of the Latter Dny Saints' church.

The Council Bluffs. Tabor A Southern
Electric Railway company Is meeting with
considerable trouble In securing Its right-of-way
between Olenwood and Tabor, a
distance of about twelve miles. Arthur T.
West, secretary of the company, who was
In this city over Thursday night, on his
way home to Tabor from Des Moines,
stated that the company would have to
condemn every yard probably of Its right-of-way
between those two towns. The
farmers, he said, were demanding' exorbi
tant prices for their land, and up to date
had declined to listen to any - reasonable
offer. Despite the delay over securing Its
right-of-way, Mr. West said, the company
would be ready to commence work on ts
line In Council Bluffs and to the School
for the Deaf by the time named In the
charter ordinance.

the fact that the alleys generally are In

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. April C-(Speclal.-One
of tho most novel experiments ever tried
In the state with relation to agricultural
education was that of the past week In
Iowa, when a special train ran out over
the Rock Island railroad Into northwestern
Iowa, carrying Prof. P. O. Holden of the
department of grains at the Bute Agri
cultural college, and Dr. John R. Sage,
head of the state crop and weather bureau,
and others, the purpose of the Journey be
ing to afford the farmers opportunity for
consulting with crop experts In the matter
of seed corn and the growing of the staple
crop of Iowa. Fifty stops were made, all
In corn-growing districts, and farmers
flocked to the train In great numbers to
listen to Messrs, Holden and Sage. Even
at the stopping places where there waa
nothing else than a elding, the car waa
filled with eager Inquirers. It was sn ex
periment to determine on the Interest which
the real farmers of Iowa are taking In
com-growliig and modern methods as
taught by the experts, and, to gtve them
substantial Information on the subject.
The experiment was every way success
ful.
Democratic Conventions Comlnsr.
Conventions will be held In ten counties
of Iowa tomorrow by the democrats and
the Hearst men. who have headquarters
here, claim that as a result of these con
ventions they will have before the close
of the week a total of 330 delegates to the
state convention. The counties to hold con
ventions are: Mahaska, Humboldt. John
son, Hamilton. Wapello. Madison. Wayne,
Cherokee, Davis and Adams. It Is ex
pected that next week Dubuque rnd Black
hawk counties will go for Hearst. In
which case they would claim practically
enough votes to control the convention.
Wapello counties will be for Hearst, aa in
the caucuses It waa controlled by Charles
A. Walsh, who desires again to be the
Iowa member of the national committee.
He Is now secretary of the national com
mittee. Several conspicuous anti-Hearst
men have establlahed themselves here and
are engaged In doing business, and they
claim that Hearst cannot possibly get the
state convention, though conceding he has
the largest number of delegates thus far
selected.
Lived Over lOO Years.
Captain James Kephart died at Clarks
ville, la., this week. He waa 100 years old
February 10 last, and had retained all
his senses to the last. He had been a
blacksmith for seventy years and con
tinued at his work until hs wss M years
old.
In addition to the oil portrait of Admiral
George C. Remey for the Iowa historical
department. Curator Aldrlrh has made ar
rangements for a portrait of Admiral
Walker, head of tho Isthmian commission,
to be placed In tho collection. Both of
these distinguished admirals are Iowa men.
Stock Shippers and Passes.
Iowa sjpek shippers vejll continue to
press their claims before the railroad man
agers In Chicago with reference to return
passes. The Iowa law as passed waa not
In accordance with the agreement, so the
railroad men say, but the agreement waa
that If tho law should provide for a thlrty-slx-nour
limit on the use of the passes

Department Cewimaader.
There is very little doubt that the de
partment encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic, which meets In Mason
City In June, will elect R. T. St. John as
the department commander. This has been

conversant with affairs In the department.
Mr. St. John lives at Rlceville In Mitchell

stock breeder. It Is known that he has
practically the pledges of a majority of ths
delegates who will attend the encamrment.

has had official business many years. His
last great work was In the negotiation of
reciprocity treaties with different nations,
and when the senate rejected these treaties
ho resigned, but was afterward Induced un
der the present udmliilstration to take up
the work again and carry It on. While
living In Washington many years Mr. Kss-j
son has never ceased to be Interested In
Iowa and Iowa men. He Is now 82 years j
oia, ana in me mm iwo it ihit,- jvrtis now
had to go to a hospital for operations four
times, snd It Is regarded as remarkable
that he has had the strength to revive and
carry on his work. If he visits Iowa dur
ing the summer an effort will be made to
have' him deliver an adJress on public ques
tions and to give his views on the trend of
American politics.
