The possibility of the 200 or more chil
dren In the Christian home, since the death
of the founder and manager of the institu
tion. Rev. J. Q. Lemen, becoming wards
of Pottawattamie county was discussed by
the Board of Supervisors at Its session yes
terday. That the Institution might not re
ceive the same liberal support It did dur
ing the lifetime of Mr. Lemen the board
believed was a possibility that demanded
some attention at Its hands. Chairman,
Baker was of the opinion that some steps
should be taken to limit, If not entirely
prevent, further bringing of destltuta
children to this city. He also suggested
that the attention of the State Board of
Control should be called to the Institution
and the possibilities existing with a vlaw
to having It make a thorough Investigation
of the home and Its resources. While no
action was taken yesterday. It was the
feeling of the board that something should
be done In the matter at this session.
All bids for the painting of the Interior
of the court house were rejected on ac
count of the lateness of the season and
the matter will be taken up again at the
January ses.slon. There was a wide differ
ence In the blda, which were as follows:
W. H. Dennia, 11,070; Jensen A Nlcholsen,
11.444; M. M. Larsen, $3,100; J. B. Long,
$2,850.
Spencer Smith and Thomas Bowman
were appointed to check up the accounts
of the retiring officers, namely, .Auditor
Innes, Recorder Smith and F. L. Reed,

In the matter of the claim of Attorney
F. A. Turner of Avoca for $200 for de
fending Lewis Smith, a negro charged with
murder, in the district court at Avoca,
and for carrying the case up on appeal,
the board decided to allow only $S0. At
torney Turner was appointed Smith's coun
sel by tho court. It Is. -said Mr. Turner
will take the matter Into the courts, aa he
maintains that his claim is just and not
in any way excessive.
The report of Recorder Smith for the
quarter ending September 30 shows 1,206
Instruments filed, with a total of $S23.0
fees collected, as follows: July, 378 Instru
ments, $255.50 fees; August, 876 Instruments,
$260.90 fees; September, 452 Instruments,
$307.30 fees. '
The report of Sheriff Canning for the
same quarter shows: Fees taxed, $988.32;
fees collected, $800.62; mileage due sheriff,
$87.80, leaving a balance due county of
$712.82. Salaries for the quarter amounted
to $375, which, with the deficit existing the
previous quarter, makes $415.39" advanced
by the sheriff for salaries, which the
county will have to make good If the fees
collected during the present quarter are
Insufficient.

A number o,f residents of the recently In
corporated town of Treynor, Pottawattamie

Rnlllett Pleads tiullty.
Letsnn Balllett, who gained wide noto
riety a couple years ago as promoter of
the White Swan Mining company of Ore
gon, today suddenly tremlnated his second
trial In the federal court for fraudulently
using the malls by pleading guilty to the
offense. The first trial two years ago eaded
In conviction after a hard fight, but the
aecond trial woa ordered by the higher
courts. Balliett was formerly of Des
Moines, a young man who went from the
work of a mining engineer Into that of
promoting mines. He organised the White
Swan Mining company and through It se
cured several hundred thousand dollars In
stock subscriptions. It was alleged that
but very little of this money was used In
developing property, but employed in carry
lng on of stock sales and for Balllett's
private uaes. Investors began proceedings
against Balllett, accusing him of using the
malls for fraudulent purposes, and the gov
ernment officials finally made a case against
him, which resulted In his plea of guilty
today.
No Special Session.
There will not be any special session of
the Iowa legislature the coming winter or
next year on account of the biennial elco
tinns amendment and the alleged dilemma
arising from failure to provide for the
I grand and petit juries. Mucn mistnrorma
Iftlon has been disseminated throughout
Iowa on this account and that without the
least semblance of reason. The legislature
nearly three years ago made special pro
vision for the method of drawing the
Juries In Iowa in case biennial elections
were adopted, and the law appears In the
code supplement. Issued two years ago, and
with which all lawyers are familiar. There
has also been systematic effort to spread
misinformation In regard to the persons
whose terms of office are extended by the
amendment, which carried by a lurge ma
jority. The state officers who get a year
added to their official terms are the gov
ernor. lieutenant governor, superintendent
of public Instruction and railroad comrnla
sinner, and also three Judges of the su
preme court. It has generally been stated
that only one Judge gets the extension, but
Judges Sherwln, Bishop and Weaver all get.
,an extra year to their terms. It Is also
true that all the members of the legislature
get an additional year and not merely half
tho senate, as has been stnted. The amend,
ment Is very plain on all these proposi
tions. While the terms of .all . the legisla
tors are affected It has bearing on 'the
senatorial situation In Iowa only to the
extent that one-half of the senators who
are already holding office will have their
terms extended over until a session when a
senator will be elected.
Solve n Bank Mystery.
It Is expected that at no diatant date an
Indictment will he brought here which
will have a bearing on a bank mystery
which has been causing a great deal of
worry for several years. The Des Moines
National bank sent a package supposed to
contain $10,000 to the Bank of Irwin, In
Shelby county, and when the package was
opened no money was found. The hsnk
obtained Judgment against tho American
Express company for the loss on the theory
that agents of the company extracted the
currency. The company has gone to the
supreme court of Iowa to establish that the
loss occurred before the company got the
package. Another package suppored to
contain Ifi.OflO was similarly found to he
empty after leaving the same bank, and
the bank Itself secured Judgment In the
federal court against the bonding company
which guaranteed one of the bank em
ployes who Is alleged to have handled the
package. Now the express company and
the bonding company have carried on an
Investigation until It Is announced they
have ferreted out .the case until some one
not hitherto suspected will be Indicted for
the various losses from the bank. Three
separate employes of the bank were under
suspicion, but no formal accusation was
ever broujrht against any one, and the mys
tery has been puzsllng alike to bank offi
cials and detectives.
