SORE ARMS NOW IN ORDER
Teachers tnd Pupils in Pablio Schooli
Ordered to Be Vaccinated.
THURSIAY FIXED AS THE TIME LIMIT
Teachers la the Grades Petltloa for
aa Inerease of Salary Judges and
Clerks of Electlou Are
Appointed.
"We will get Into that omnibus when it
backs up to the curb," remarked Attorney
Emmet Tlnlpy at the meeting of the Board
of Education laat night, when the ques
tion waa raised aa to the power of the
board to keep a pupil out of school whose
parents declined to obey the mandate of
the Board of Health as to vaccination. In
accepting the report of the apeclr.l commit
tee appointed to confer with the Board of
Health, the Board of Education last night
decided to carry out the Instructions of
the health authorities and the principals
of the aevenl schools will be so notified
today. According to the orders of the
Board of Health every pupil and teacher
In the public Fchools who has not been
effectively vaccinated within the last seven
years must be vaccinated or be barred from
school. Each teacher and pupil who has
been vaccinated within the time specified
rmist furnish a certlftc.e to that effect.
These certificates will have to be presented
to the principal. Acting on the suggestion
of Member, Tlnley the board decided it waa
time enough to consider what course to
pursue In the event of parents refusing to
permit the vaccination of their child or
children and denying the right of the board
to debar such child or children from at
tending school, when such presented itself.
The order of the Board of Health requires
the vaccination of the pupils within ten
days from last ' Monday, thus making
Thursday of next week the time limit.
The request of the volunteer kindergar
ten teachers that they be paid for their
services was turned down, despite the fa
vorable recommendation of the finance
committee. Chairman Tlnley of the finance
committee recommended that the volun
teers, of whom there are four, be paid $75
for the remainder of the school year.
Teachers AsIc Inerease.
Eleven teachers In the 7-2, 8-1 and 8-3
grades filed a petition for Increased pay.
Their compensation, they stated, was 1585
per school year, or $48.75 per calendar
month, and waa out of proportion when
compared with tho pay of teachers In the
high school and other grades. "No me
chanic will labor for this amount with
shorter hours than required of us. In fact
It brings us to the level of the day labor
er," was the closing argument of the pe
titioning teachers. The petition was re
ferred to the committee on finance.
The resignation of Colonel W. J. Daven-1
port was received and accepted and resolu
tions of regret adopted.
Chairman Tlnley of the finance committee,
submitted the financial report for the year,
which has been published, and made the
following estimate of the amounts needed
to carry on the schools for the next year:
Teachers' fund $ 70.000
Bchoolhouse fund 10 000
Contingent fund SoiooO
Total '.........$110,000
This Is a little less than last year's esti
mate, which was:
Teachers' fund 70.001)
Schoolhouse fund 9 1H0
Contingent fund 35.000
Tho report wus ordered published, as re
quired by law.

I'NABLE TO AGItEU OX A CONTRACT
Jobbers and tanners as Far Apart
as Ever.
The meeting of the Iowu and Nebraska
Wholesale Grocers' association In this city
yesterday was taken up principally with
the discussion of the proposed new form of
contract between the Jobbers and the can
hers. The committee reported that it had
been unable to arrive at any satisfactory
agreement wlUi the canners, as the latter
refuaod to make the Concessions asked by
the Jobbera A form of contract was sub
mitted by the Canners' association but as
it dlftored but little from the one now in
use the association unanimoualy rejected It.
After several hours of discussion it was
finally decided to continue the committee
with the request that it renew Its efforts
to secure a contract which will be equita
ble and satisfactory to both sides. Even
If an agreement la reached with the can
ners, It will be too late for this season's
pack, but the meeting expressed Itself as
being hopeful of having- the matter ar
ranged so that it will be effective next
year.
The proposed railroad uniform bill of
lading also came up for discussion and
while the wholesalers present were of the
opinion that the proposed measure had be
come practically a dead letter and would
actually be abandoned, they decided that It
waa beat to keep a watchful eye on the
blll;and a committee of six was appointed
to keep In touch with the matter and keep
the association posted as to developments
If any might occur.
It had been decided to make yesterday's
session the annual meeting of the associa
tion but as the attendance was smaller
than anticipated It was derided to make
the next meeting the annual one.

HITCH OVER DRAINAGE DITCHES
mtlawattamle Willi Delay. While
Harrison Wants Action.
The Boards of Supervisors of Pottawatta
mie and Harrison counties failed at their
Joint session In this city yesterday to take
any action In the matter of the proposed
drainage ditches In the two counties. When
the board convened it was discovered that
the appointment of George II. Putnam as
commissioner for Pottawattamie county In
the place of Alexander Osier, who declined
to serve after being appointed at the Joint
seneinn of the boards In Missouri Valley
! last December, was Irregular. Mr. Putnam
j was appointed by the Pottawattamie county
board, whereaa his appointment snouia
have been by the boards of both counties.
This being the situation the Joint meeting
yesterday adopted a resolution reappoint
ing Charles Hunt, the Harrison county
' commissioner and Mr. Putnam. They will
now havo to make a new report.
The discussion at the morning session de
veloped the fact that the Pottawattamie
county supervisors are not very enthusi
astic over the proposed Joint drainage
scheme and 'they were anxious to have
consideration of the whole matter put over
to the summer. In support of their posi
tion the Pottawattamie supervisors con
tended that to take any definite action un
til what Is known as the Oliver drainage
case In Monona county is decided by the
supreme court would be only a waste of
time. The Harrison county supervisors
strongly protested against such a delay
and for a while there was a lively tilt be
tween the two boards.
The liveliest tilt came when Chairman
Brandes of the rottawattamle board moved
i to adjourn to July 2. This brought the men
j from Harrison county to their feet with a
' strong protest and to smooth matters
Colonel Baker amended the motion to make
the date April 2. Both the amendment and
the original motion failed to carry. The
motion to adjourn to July 11 failed, as did
one to adjourn to April 18.
At this point In tho proceedings the
boards adjourned for lunch and on recon
vening another attempt to arrive at a sat
isfactory date to adjourn to was made by
the Pottawattamie supervisors. Brandes
again moved to adjourn to July 11 and one
of the Harrison county men amended It to
make It March 4. . The ballot resulted In a
tie both on the amendment and the origi
nal. Then a motion to adjourn to April
17 foiled to carry, and finally the matter
was disposed of by the passage of a mo
tion by Brandes to adjourn to May 24. The
Pottawattamie board voted as a unit In
favor of this date and the three members
from Harrison county voted against tt.
The Joint session then adjourned and the
supervisors from Harrison county returned
home in a very dissatisfied state of mind.
Harrison county was represented by Su
pervisor Edgecombe, who presided, Hall
and Murray. The full board of Pottawat
tamie county was present and Auditor
Cheyne of the latter county acted as sec
retary of the meeting.

TANGLE IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
One Party Goes Into Court and A n
. other Has Lively Meeting;.
MARSHALLTOWN. Ia Feb. 21.-(Spe-clal
Telegram.) By throwing out the Sixth
ward of this city several knotty questions
arose, and in order to settle them right
John Sleg, councilman from that ward, will
bring Buit against the city and let Judge
Burnham decide the matter. Sleg- wants to
know whether or not he Is entitled to his
seat until his term expires, and if his col
league has still another year to serve. He
also desired to know what effect the action
will have on R. W. McBrlde, hold-over
councilman from the Second ward, and G.
W. Calhoun, from the Third ward, to which
words the divided Sixth was added. He
maintains that inasmuch as these men
were not elected to represent the whole
people their status should be decided. An
other proposition for settlement is the
question, "When a councilman takes the
oath of office is It a contract with the city,
and if it Is a contract would not Iseman
be compelled to live up to that contract and
serve the people during the full two years'
term?" Pending a decision of these matters
Slog has filed a nomination petition In the
Second ward.
Tonight's mass meeting, held for the pur
pose of receiving the report of a commit
tee to endeavor to cause the withdrawal
of two of the three reform candidates,
proved to be wildly exciting. The commit
tee failed absolutely in their endeavor and
in order to obtain this end, two candidates,
Joseph H. Egermayer and M. M. Dickson,
offered to submit to a vote of the meeting.
Then the hand of the third man, Anthony C.
Daly, was shown and an endeavor made to
adjourn. This failed and a motion to vote
carried, but while the ballots were being
distributed R. R. Waterbury of the home
protectionists raised objection to the pro
ceedings, claiming the hall was packed,
that it was a play by the opposing forces
to place the weakest man In the field; and
again a motion to adjourn was made and
was carried. This leaves matters as be
fore, four men In the field and all hope of
compromise gone, as Egermayer now says
he Is in the fight to a finish and no more
compromise will be entertained. In the
course of the remarks many claims of tricks
and counter-tricks were made. Personali
ties were indulged In and the meeting broke
upln an uproar.

uniforms can be secured.
