CURRENT
COUNCIL
BOARD OBJECTS TO CLOSING
Thiski Eialth Anthoritiei Acted Hastily in
. Bloomer School Matter.
MAYOR MACRAE TAKES A CONTRARY VIEW
lastata That While There Is Epl
desnle Loss of On Week la Roth
In Whea Placed Against
Daager ot Life.
Mayor Macrae and President Hesa of
the Board of Education talked over the
matter of the c.oelng of the school last
night and the mayor Informed Mr. Hess
that the Board of Health would not un
der any circumstances modify Its action.
The school accordingly will remain closed
until next Monday.
The Board of Education does not take
kindly to the action of the Board of Health
In ordering the Bloomer school, at which
several cases of diphtheria were, repor.ed,
closed for this week. Certain members of
the Board of Education, and especially
Superintendent Clifford, are of the opinion
that the Board of Health acted hastily
without givlngthe matter due consideration
or Investigation. To discuss the situation
the Board of Education held a special
meeting yesterday morning.
While reallxlng that the Board of Health
acted fully within Its province, some of the
members 'of the Board of Education be
lieved that the precedent established by the
summary, closing of the, Bloomer school
would tend to seriously Interfere with the
school work. This, however, wa not the con
acenaua of opinion of all of the members of
the Board of Education., as some of them ex
pressed themselves as well satisfied with
the action of the Board of Health, believ
ing that an ounce of prevention Is better
than a pound, of cure. "Far better that
the school be closed 'one week than that
the life of one child be endangered," was
the way one of the school directors ex
pressed his opinion on the matter.
The fact that no epidemic of diphtheria
existed In the schools seemed to make the
members of the school board believe that
to close the school for a day or two while
the building was being thoroughly disin
fected would have been sufficient. After a
lengthy discussion It was thought that the
situation could be properly met by closing
the school until Wednesday, and a commit
tee consisting of President Hesa and Su
perintended. Clifford was appointed to wait
upon the Board of Health with a view to
securing a modification of the order closing
the building for the entire week.
Mayor Stands Pat.
Mayor Macraa when Informed of the
meeting of the Board of Education and the
action taken by It, said that so far as he
was concerned he would stand by the no
tion of the Board or Health, which he con
sidered was the proper course to .take under
the circumstance. In ordering the school
closed for one week Mayor Macrae said he
believed the majority of the people would
approve of the action of the Board of
Health. "It cannot Interfere with the
school work to any serious degree, as If
necessary the week thus lost can be added
to the school year so far as this particular
building Is concerned, and the pupils will
then lose nothing by it being closed now,"
he said. i
At the last meeting of the Board of Edu
cation Member Westerdahl brought up the
matter of children being employed to peddle
tickets for school entertainments on ths
streets. He pronounced the practice a gen
eral nuisance and called attention to the
fact that children had even Invaded saloons
In their anxiety to dispose of tickets. It
was then stated that orders had been given
to discontinue the practice. Superintendent
Clifford, however, brought up' the matter
again, at yesterday's meeting. He stated
that some of the schools had not yet se
cured magic lanterns and were figuring on
giving entertainments to secure the needed
funds and 'he wanted to know if the chil
dren might be permitted to dispose of tick
ets. The board decided that each child
might have the "privilege" of buying a
ticket for himself or herself and taking
home as many tickets as might be needed
for the members of his or her family, but
they would not be permitted to peddle them
on the streets.
To this Member Westerdahl objected. He
took the position that many parents were
already taxed all they could stand to send
their children to school tind that it was an
Imposition to Importune them to buy tick
ets to provide funds to purchase material
for the schools. The district, he contended,
ought to purchase that might be needed
In any schoo. Further, Mr. Westerdah!
stated that numerous complaints had been
made to him of small children stopping and
Importuning every person they met on the
streets to purchase tickets. The permis
sion, however, extended by the hoard re
stricts the sale of the tickets to the pupils'
families.
MAYOR COMHESDS THE COirKCH,
Jastlges rse of City Funis, bat. Points
Oat No nel'ef.
In -view of the depleted condition of the
city treasury at the end of the first six
months of the fiscal year, Mayor Macrae
deemed It expedient to make a statement
at ths meeting of the 'city council last
night. This statement covered several
pages of typewritten matter and In It he
commended everything that the city coun
cil had done to date, excusing the depletion
of the several funds on the grounds of
necessity. Ho failed, however, to make
any suggestion how certain departments,
ths appropriations for the maintenance of
which are practically exhausted, are to be
carried on for the balance of the fiscal
year. ,He made recommendations regard
ing the city contracts with the water works
and electrto lighting companies which will
expire before long, and made certain rec
ommendations In connection with the same.
He said In part:,
Mayor's itatesaent.
Few cltlxens In the uptown districts, re
alise the enormous amount of work done
by this administration durlntr the short
time It has held the reins of office. Floods
during the past two snrinsja hsvn been of

to remain undralned, and railroads blocked
the exit of water in many places. A most
oeploraole condition and almost insur
mountaoie oostucies coniromed the city
council wnen It entered upon its duties.
Tne bed of Indian creex was aoove the
top of the sewer and conditions existed
wnich would have entiungtred tne lives ot
our citizens wltnln a smut time. ven niw
It Is a question whether all the sewers
can oe r-iu on .t ot u.i, pMv-.va
condition, but you art. confronted witn a
lack ot tunas in the sewer department.
1 regret tnat our funds are iow at the
present time, tnu you were Justified by tne
extraordinary conuitlons in doing what you
have done with t lie greatest possible haste,
Even now much woric remains wnich, if the
funds permitted, should be done at once,
but which inust be postponed. It must not
be forgotten tnat last year s council ceased
work on the streets and alleys on August
1, white you have carried the work to iso
vember 1.
Contractors who In the past' have failed
to give satisfaction should not be consid
ered In the future and their bids should be
rejected without further urgument. In this
Way our city, which hue been fooled and
"worked" so many years, may expect
Quicker results.
I regrat exceedingly that more attention
could not have been given to paved streets,
but owing to the deplorable and dangerous
condition of outlying districts and drainage
system it was necessary to remedy these
evils at once at the expense of every other
part of the city.
I wish now to draw your attention to
two most Important subjects, the electric
lighting snd water contracts of the city,
more especially to the latter. The city Is
now paying on an average $27,000 per annum
for tire hydrants. ThlB Is too high. You
must exercise your powers In a reduction
of the city hydrant contract prices. Sev
eral courses may be taken. Firat, lower
city contract prices with same cost to con
sumer; second, retain present price for city
rentals with lower rates to consumer;
third, lower rates for city contract and
consumer; fourth. let a new contract to an
other company and requoal citizens to con
nect with It; fifth, condemn and buy the
present water system; sixth, the city to
construct, own and opertfto a new water
plant of Its own.
I might say that the samfl courses are
open In the case of the electric light com
pany. I see no reason why this matter
should not be agitated at once. You are In
duty bound by the platform upon which
you were elected to use every effort toward
a proper solution of these questions. No
questions of more importance have ever
confronted this city. Therefore, I charge
you to be strong and faithful In the pei
formanoe of this duty and great responsi
bility which now rests upon your shoulders.
I would recommend thut party politics be
laid aside In this matter and that all work
for the common good. I would suggest that
you permit the chair to appoint a special
committee to devise ways and means to
launch this important subject formally be
fore the people, nnd that you Invite per
sons to our city capable of enlightening
you and the citizens In general on the
various phases of these subjects.
Bids for the laying of sidewalks In dif
ferent parts of the city were received from
John Sklnkle and E. A. Wlckham and re

Matters In District Court.
With the dismissal of the damage suit of
H. W. Hall against Dr. H. B. Jennings,
the business of the September term of dis
trict court' was practically brought to an
end yesterday morning and Judge Macy
discharged the trial Jury. Hall, who Is a
rellroad brakeman, had a leg fractured at
Sherwood, la., on February 25, 1903, and
after receiving treatment there was brought
to this city and attended by Dr. Jennings.
He claimed 15,000 damages, alleging that his
leg had not been properly set Dr. Jen.
ntngs' demurrer to the petition was sus
tained and this disposed of the case so far
as this , court was concerned.
Judge'.' Macy has sustained a motion to
strike out the greater portion of the coun
ter claim of the defendants In the suit of
Benjamin Douglass and others against
Lougee A Lougee. The part' of the counter
claim stricken out is that In which Lougee
A Lougee demand $40,000 for damage to
their 'buslnesn and Reputation. . It wat
stricken on the ground that the question
involved in the counter claim did not exist
at the time of the filing of the suit by
Douloss.
The docket for the November term of
district court Is now in the hands of- tho
printer. It contains 311 equity and 237 law
cases, a total of 448. The September docket
contained 479 cases, but as the number of
criminal cases for the November term Is
greater than for the September the vol
ume of business for the next term will bo
fully as great if not greater.
More Diphtheria Cases.
The latest victim to be claimed by diph
theria is County Attorney KUlpack, who
was reported suffering with the dread dis
ease at his home on Grant street yesterday.
Although no formal report was made to
the Board of Health yesterday it was an
nounced that Miss White, principal of the
Avenue B school, had reported to tho school
board a case of diphtheria at 1535 Avenue O.
T. B. Lynch, living at 306 Pierce street,
and Peter Brlesland, residing at 1513 North
Eighth street, were reported to the Board
of Health yesterday as suffering from
smallpox. They were quarantined at their
homes.

MEAT PRODUCERS KEEP OUT
Association Taking He Part in ths Present
State Campaign.
SHIPPERS' CONYtNTjJOl NEXT WINTER
Co-Operatlve Societies te Hold Con
vention la November to Dis
ease Remedy of Tresblee
and Legislation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. M (Special.) Ths
Corn Belt Meat Producers' association, or
ganised In Iowa the past year, allied with
the larger association ot stock shippers,
with headquarters In Denver, hus been con
siderately keeping out of politics this year
In Iowa, and It cannot be said that there
has been any effort on the part of the offi
cials of that organisation to Interfere with
the course ot politics. It Is true that some
effort wss made to take advantage of the
disaffection existing with regard to some
conditions, but this has attracted little
attention. In the Eighth and Ninth dis
tricts of Iowa there wss nominated for
congress men who are officials In county
organisations of the Meat Producers. They
are men of high standing and represent a
definite Idea, but the people have been un
willing to make of their cause a partisan
affair. Occasionally some one connected
with the association has exploited his per
sonal views in regard to politics to attract
some attention, but aside from this the
officers have kept still, and have gone on
with the work of perfecting the organisa
tion throughout the state. Borne of the
officials of the association In Iowa were In
favor of making war on ths Thirtieth gen
eral assembly by opposing the biennial
elections amendment, thus Indicating their
displeasure at the action taken by the
legislature. Others of the officials. It Is
learned, counseled against this course and
tho Corn Belt Meat Producers' association
will not go on record as antagonistic to ths
general assembly and moved by revenge to
defeat an amendment because the legisla
ture did not do all that was desired. In
fact, one official declared, and In this he
spoks for many, that the stock shippers of
lows had more to hope from a legislature
that has gone over the ground once and
become familiar with the problem of how
best to hplp the stock shippers than from
a legislature composed of inexperienced
persons subject to any and every influence
which may be brought to bear on the now
legislator. But In-the meantime the stock
shippers are perfecting their organisation
In every county of the state, and In due
time they will be able to take part In poll
tics with intelligence and in a manner to
havo greatest Influence. They say they are
enlisted for a long campaign and will not
rest until they have accomplished some
substantial results by legislation or other
wise. Shippers' Convention Proposed,
In view of the general interest felt by
farmers in the problem of transportation,
especially transportation of live stock, an
effort is being made to secure a big con
vention in Des Moines next winter to con
sider the rate and transportation questions.
It has been suggested that the state agri
cultural convention, which meets annually
In December, take up the subject, and that
a program be arranged to cover all phases
of the subject; that representative farmers
be placed on the program to speak for
the agricultural Interest; that officials of
the Mat Producers' association be Invited
to state officially and in a concise manner
just what remedies are proposed for pres
ent defeots; that representatives of the
stock yards and packing houses be invited
to make a showing as to difficulties from
their separate viewpoints, and that some
representative of the transportation lines
be placed on the program to present still
another side. Care would be taken Jo avoid
having extremists or mere agitators 011
the program, the aim being tb have a dls
cusslon of the subject In a candid and fair
manner by all interests, so that, if possible,
som common ground could be arrived at
for betterment of conditions. The proceed
ings would go Into the Annual Year Book
of the Department of Agriculture and be
doubly valuable for this reason.
Result of Aareetnent.
Prominent shippers state that the agree
ment reached at the various conferences of
the stock shippers and railroad managers
last spring In regard to shortening the
time of transportation and for return
passes to stock shippers has been of mutual
benefit, but the congestion, at the stock
yards on account of so many shipments be
Ing made on certain days of the week to
the exclusion of other days is something
which still causes much 'trouble. The law
which the Iowa legislature passed and
which was the result of an agreement be
tween representatives of the stock ship
pers and the railroad companies had, the
one effect of pointing out the direction In
which reforms should be made, and was
to that extent useful. In anticipation of
a demand, on the legislature at the next
session for further legislation it Is de
sirable that further Information be secured
as to just what would be useful and what
would be acceptable to all the Interests.
Convention of Co-Operaves.
A state convention of the co-operatfve
associations and societies of the state has
been called to meet at the town of Rock
well, Cerro Gordo county, November 8.
when It Is expected that a state organisa
tion will be formed to look after the mutual
Interests of all such societies. The call
has been issued by President J. H. Brown,
of the greai: co-operative society with bead
quarters In that town. This ll one of the
most successful farmers' co-operative so
cieties In the country and since the facts
In regard to Its success have become gen
erally known a large number of similar
societies have been organised in the state
and are In operation. A crisis has been
reached in the work of these societies by
a Conflict with ths railroad companies and
line elevators over the matter of handling
grain. There appears to be a systematic
boycott oti the co-operatives and they now
threaten retaliation. The Iowa drain
Dealers' association has entered the fight
and the railroad companies have been
diswn into it. It is also desired by these
co-operatives that some legislation be
enacted of special Interest t to them and
they will look after, this through their
organisation. It is estimated there are
thirty or forty active co-operative societies
in the state.
