that Council Bluffs can and will ' show
them a good time during their stay In the
city. The sessions of the convention will
be held 1n Hughes' hall on Broadway,
which since Its purchase by the Danish

be tendered an, entertainment each night
of the convention. The first night It will
take the form of a "smoker" at Hughes'
hall and there will be a program of ad
dresses and other features. This Is more
than anything else to give the visiting
delegates an opportunity to become ac
quainted with one another. On the second
night the entertainment, which will also
be In Hughes' hall, will consist of a vaude
ville program and the committee In charge
expects to offer some novel features In this

providing accommodations can be secured
there for so large a number.

association. In writing to the local commit
tee expressed the belief that the attend

At Ita meeting tonight the Board of Edu
cation will reorganise after the official
can vacs of the vote cast at the election
last week, when the three new members
will take their seats. J. P. Hess will suc
ceed himself and Nels P. Andersen will
assume the piece vacated by George W.
Gorman. W. E. McConnell will fill the
vacant position on the board caused by
the resignation of Colonel W. J. Daven
port. It Is not unlikely, so It Is stated, that
Mr. Hess will retain the presidency of the
board, although both W. 8. Cooper and
Emmet Tinley have been mentioned In con
nection with the position.
One of the first matters to come before
the board after its reorganization will be
the question of enforcing the Board of

be taken, as with seven 'members a tie
vote, as waa the cas at the last meeting,
will be impossible The board is expected

the west end are waxing wroth. .
Property owners In the western part of
the city ore also up In arma over the as

the new law the supervisors of Wright
and Hamilton counties had established a.
drainage ditch and the contracts were let

National Masonlo Accident association
ma come up for a rehearing. A petition
for such has been filed in the supreme
court. The supreme court reversed the
decision of the lower court, which was In
favor of the plaintiff. The plaintiff now
claims that the entire case hangs on the
difference between the word "happened"
and "caused by." If his death waa caused
by bodily disease of any kind he is not
entitled to recover the accident Insurance,
but if it was an accident and happened
from such disease he Is entitled to the
money.
Bids All Too High.
All the bids opened Saturday for the Im
provements at the Orphan's home at Dav
enport were too high to come within the
amount allowed for the work. On that
account the board had to go over the
figures with the contractor and the build
ings were made a little smaller. All the
contractors then entered new bids and the
contract was awarded to Hellenberger of
Chicago for $18,771. This included the erec
tion of a laundry, the remodeling of the old
laundry to make a kitchen and the erec
tion of a new coal shed.

DETECTIVE IS ODER ARREST
Man Who Extorted Money from Mar.
sballtown Cltlsen Lands In Jail.
MARSHALLTOWN, la., March 19.
(Special.) Because his victim did not pay
a note given for hash money, promptly,
F. C, Hodges lies In the county Jail under
$1,000 bond to answer to the charge of
conspiracy to defraud and a charge of
blackmail may be brought against him.
Some months ago a woman claiming to
be Miss Lord came to thla city and started
to work soliciting insurance. One of her
stories was that she was a fugitive from
her husband, from whom she was trying
to secure a divorce, and that she had to
keep out of his way.
She approached a business man of this
city and her first endeavor to write in
surance for him failing she asked him to
come to her rooms where she would further
explain her insurance scheme. He did, and
they took supper together, but the meal
was scarcely over before a knock at the
door brought Hodges to the scene.
He claimed to be a detective In the em
ploy of Mr. Lord and that he now had all
the evidence he wanted. For the Job he
was to get $300 so he claimed.
A compromise was suggested and Hodges
finally agreed to keep still for $300. The
victim did not have that much money
but paid $100, giving his note for the bal
ance. Thla note was due yesterday and
Hodges presented It for payment. He waa
told to call later for his money. He- did
and walked into the arms of an officer.
His heating has been set for Monday
afternoon.
Xotes from Aberdeen.
ABERDEEN, S. D., March 19. (Special.)
A petition is being circulated asking the
city council to submit the question of sa
loon licenses to the voters at the coming
city election. The procedure Is not un
usual, as Aberdeen usually votes on the
question every year or two. But this year
the petition Is being circulated and signed
by those in favor of saloons, which la an
unusual departure. Under the decision of
Judge Whiting in the famous Hetlund sa
loon case the question must be voted upon
every year or licenses cannot be granted.
Last year the temperance people circulated
the petition and the vote was in favor of
license. This year the temperance people
are standing aside and watching the saloon
men hustle for signatures.
A special car will take about fifty Aber
deen Knights of Pythias with their wives

It Is thought the boys will be sent to the
reform school at Planklnton.
Captain Palmer D. Sheldon has resigned

MUCH GOOD MATERIAL AT AMES
Experts to De Able to Carry OBT tbe
Honors on Both the Track
and tbe Diamond.
AMES, la., March 1 (Speclal.V-From
the large amount of material to pick from
It would seem that Amps ought to be able
to make a creditable showing In athletics
this year, both In base ball and track ath
letlca. The weather the past week has
somewhat retarded outdoor practice, but
the training shed has been a scene of ac
tivity. There Is an Immense amount of
scrub material on hands to pick from
which may yield some stars by the time
the seaKoiiy Is well advanced and there Is
alW) some good 'varsity timber on hand.
With the training they are receiving from
Jack Watson no one feels but what Ames
has an equal show with her sister Insti
tutions In track athletics this season. In
the Ntt-yard dash several of the men who
won points In dual or state meets last
year ere back again, and the same wltn
those that were placed In the sprints In
the fall meet. In the two-twenty prac
tically the same men that took part Inst
year will do so this. The long distance
race will have a liberal supply of entries,
but the half la not so well supplied. The
hurdles have a number of aspirants, while
In the matter of quarter mile men the
situation is about on an equal with that
of Inst year. Not ss much material as
would be liked Is avallHl.le for the ham
mer throw. Cave Is out of the shot put this
year on account of Injuries received to
a limb lest fall In the football game with
Drake ThankFglving. In the pole vault
three of last year's 'varsity men are back
and are hard at work every day and will
make a hard effort to retain their posi
tions. Base ball practice has been encouraging,
and the post two weeks has been put in
practicing batting and base running. The
varsity team will be picked In a few days.
Coach "Dad" Green will arrive some time
next week and work will then begin In
earnest. It now seems to be uncertain
whether "Yank" Brown will be allowed
to play or not, as the State University of
Iowa at Iowa City and Cornell have refused
to play Ames If Brown Is retained, mak
ing a plea of professionalism.
A atrong schedule in tennis is being ar
ranged for and while the dntea have not
been positively agreed upon, it la almost
certain that games will be played here
with Iowa, Drake, Grinnell and Coe. and
also return games. Ames will also be
represented In the state tournament meet
again this year, which trophy she carried
off last. Taken aa a whole, prospects In
athletics are assuming an encouraging as
pect and with good training and hard
work Ames hopes to make a creditable
showing in 1906. .

A Stoigr of tkc Dajir of Charlemagne
OLAND and Oliver are its
heroes, and when has a ro
mance offered any that equal them
in honor, gallantry, and, bravery?
As a worthy setting of a great and powerful story
tbe publishers offer an example of bookmaking that
has never been equalled in "regular-price" fiction.
The full-page pictures are reproduced in full color
from the original paintings by tbe Kinneys, each
page has a border in tint, and not one detail has
been overlooked that would complete a consistent
scheme, suitable to the period pictured in the book.
As a matter of fact no description can be ade
quate to the striking originality of the story, or
the appearance of the book, and we can only
assure you that you will find it well worth while
to ask your bookseller to show it to you before
his stock is sold out.
