WATCHING ATTACK ON M'LEAN

WILLING TO LET RIGLNTS SETTLE IT
Dr. V. L. Treyaor, Oaa Of Board,
Tklaka methlaa; Is WraasT, vat
Admits He Does Hot Kite
Wkat It la.
The attack at present being waged ca
President MacLean of the Iowa State uni
versity is belnf watched with treat interest
by ths Council Bluffs alumni of that Insti
tution, who number nearly 100. Thus far
the Council Bluffs alumni hare taken no
part In the agitation, preferring to await
further developmenta. The feeling among
the local alumni Is that the Board of Re
gents Is perfectly cspabls of taking proper
action In the matter If necessary.
. Assistant County Attorney Hess, aa
alumnus of ths State university, in discus
sing ths matter yesterday, said: "While
there has been more or less newspaper
talk charges against President MacLean
appear to lack definite form, and aa far a a
I can see nothing tsnirlble has been urged
against him which would warrant any ex
traordinary action on the part of the
alumni at this time. In any caae the mat
ter ts one. In my opinion, for the Board of
Regents snd not the ttumnl to deal with."
Dr. V. L. Treynor, who was recently ep
pointed a member of the Board of Regents
of the State university, la of the opinion
that when the board meets In regular ses
sion June 13 the protests against President
MacLean will probably be considered and
possibly some action taken. That there la
something wrong at ths university Dr.
Treynor srvs Is plain, but he does not say
that Dr. MacLean Is responsible for it. In
Dr. Treynor's opinion the entrance exami
nations at the university are too strict and
that this accounts chiefly' for the alow
growth of the Institution when 'compared
with other western colleges.
President MacLean Is expected In Council
Bluffs this evening, as he Is to deliver the
buccalaureate address to the senior class
at the high sctiool auditorium Sunder
afternoon.

tion of aa association, tha purpose of which
will be to assume tha resoonaibiiitv af hnM.
Ini a eounty fair at the Vnlon thriving
park in this city. Mr. Stewart Is of ths
opinion that vnder proper management and
with first-class attractions a county fair
would attract thousands of people, not only
from Pottawattamie county, but from tha
adjoining counties, to Council Bluffs.
For several years a county fair haa been
held under tha auspices of tha Pottawatta.
mis County Fair association nt Avne hut
It has to all intents and purposes been a
fair only for tha eastern cart of tha
county. A fair with superior attractions
in a city tne site of Council Bluffs, It Is
believed, would be patronised by the entire
oounty.
Union Driving park Is admirably adapted
for tha holding of ft county fair, and, in
fact, several years ago a number of very
successful falra were held there. The
buildings at ths driving park were, how.
ever, blown down during ft storm a num
ber of years ago and elnoe then tha holding
of county falra thers has been abandoned.
Tha movement started by Mr. Stewart Is
In ita inolpiency, but in the event of such
an association being organised new and
suitable buildings will be erected at the
park.

Ed Cavanaugh and Frank Foots, who
drove a team of emaciated horses into
town Thursday from Creaoent City with
a load of fish, which they atand charged
with having seined in the Boyer liver, and
were arrested for cruelty to animals, are
like the wretched animals which they
drove, experiencing what it feels like to
have to subsist on ft slim diet.
In police court yesterday morning Judge
Scott, after learning the frightful condition
of tha horses, sentenced Cavsnatlgh and
Foots to ten days' imprisonment with ft
bread and water diet in default or a Una
of U and costs each. The caae against
Cavanaugh and Foate in Justice Oursn's
court, in which they are oharged with Un
lawfully seining, will be continued until
they complete th bread and water sent
one. Ed Klsssl. tha awner ot ths team, waa
evidently afraid that If he cams to town
ha might get arrested also, so yesterday
afternoon be sent another man In for ths
outfit.
Tha great Wallace Show, so appropriately
styled the "Highest Class Circus In th
World," has completed all arrangements
for Its sxhlbitUia, In Council Bluffs on Fri
day, Juno I.
The Wallace Show haa been reorganlied
thla year-and scores of nsw novelties and
features will be seen for the first time In
this country under th Wallace tents.
In past seasons th Wallace Show has
been so largo that It waa th equal of any
similar enterprise In magnitude, and this
sssson It will be even more bewildering for
the laymen, for It has bees vary materially
Increased.
Many more cars havs been added to ths
Wallace trains. It may ha readily seen
that the Wallace Circus proposea to retain
Ita place In the very foremost rank of
tented amusements. Not only ts this true
regarding Its slse, but also of Its per
formano. Several exclusively new and
original feattiree hava been secured, and
though th Wallac show haa always pre
sented a first-class performance. It prom
lees to present an unusually attractive
program.
Disease Maaletjeal Water Warlta.
Municipal ownership of waterworks ws
the principal topic of discussion at the reg.
ular aaeetlng last night of tha First pre
clnet. First Ward Improvement club. Tha
discussion developed th fact that th
members ar divided on this question, some
favoring, whilst others srs opposed to
muiilclpsl ownership oa ths grounds that
It would b productive f political graft,
The members present, however, were
unanimous In their demand for a reduction
of rates.
A eus-s-eettoa which met with much favor
was that the club Invite the members of
the South End and West End Improvement
clubs to meet with it at a near date and
participate in a general discussion ot mu
nicipal questions of interest to all. An in
vitation will accordingly be sent to theae
chibs to meet with the First warders on

The Council Bluffs Fish and Game Pro

The sssoclstlon. which haa a large mem

BOTTOM LAND TOO WET TO PLOW
Almost Klght and n Half Inches Doth,
ere loss Iowa Farmers.
ONAWA, la.. May 17.-(8peclal.)-Th
last rain hat made thing pretty wet on
th Missouri bottom! nnd It begins to look
aa though some of th land that waa too
wet for cultivation last year will not be In
crop this year. -The total rainfall reported
for May Is already 81 100 Inches. The aver
age rainfall for May for twenty-four years,
as kept by Observer Parkins, Is 4 40-100
Inches. Eight inches of rain hava made al
together too much moisture and It will be
some days before farm work can be re
sumed. The petitions for th Monona-Harrison
ditch are being generally circulated and
signed, and will h presented at the June
meeting of the Board of Supervisors. A rs
monetranc ngalnat the ditch Is also being
circulated. Juet whnt effect the prenent
wet spell will have remnlns to ha seen. Tha
genersl sentiment seems to be that some
msans of drainage must be provided to en-
aura a crop on considerable of the low
Missouri bottom land, but there are some
objectors to the propoeed ditch.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 27.-tSplal.)-It la
learned that In cse the Rock Island Rail
road company loses control of the Dee
Molnea tt Fort Dodge road when the lease
expires next winter It will be prepared to
parallel the road, lo make a connection
with the Rock Island s Gowrle-Slbley line.
A survey Is being made along ihe line ot
the Fort Dodge through Dallas Center, Mln
burn. Perry and Grand Junction, ostensibly
for an electric Interurban road. But th
promoters of the line originally Intended
going west from Dallas Center Into a coun
try where there would tw good business
and no opposition direct. Now the diver
sion of the route to exactly parallel the
Fort Dodge road Is takeit to lie a notice on
the part of the Rock Island re'T'a that in
case some other load gets tbe line they
will be prepared to parallel it st once and
have their line In operaiton almost as soon
ps the lease expiree on the present line.
A meeting of the Fort Doug company will
be held in thla city next wcelt, when It
Is expected It will be developed whether or
lyit ihe Rock Ialar.d will be abll to buy
ttie stock from the brokers who have been
accumulating It the last few years. It wss
msde known over two years ago thst these
brokers had Secured a majority of the Fort
Dodge stock and were preparing to extort
a big price for the line. It waa then stated
by a Rook Island official that his company
would never pay an exorbitant price, but
would parallel th road oheaper than to
buy the old one. While the promoters of
the Inferurban say that they are securing
right-of-way for their own purposes it Is
believed they would be quit willing to dls
posed Cf it at ft profit to th Rock Island
company.

Notice to Freight Lines.
Th state executive council has caused to
be served a notice on the managers ot fast
freight lines doing business In Iowa that
thuy must make their annual reports this
year better than before. These reports
were required for the first Urn a year ago
and war unsatisfactory, though the coun.
oil mad an assessment against these com
panies on th meager reports received.
The last legislature passed an amendment
to ths law and will require further In
formation from tha companies. Thoy are
notified that they must report the actual
business dona in the stats and Interstate
business In detail. Most of tha oompahlea

take the ground that as their curs merely
pass through the state they ar not sub
jeot to assessment, but the stats will try
to scoui tuxeg from them.
