The house refused
tee report to kill the
bill and nest Thursday will debate It and
probably parea It, but the senate committee
has not acted. Bo. eleo. with practically
very other bill affecting temperance.
The senate passed two Important bills
to cut off the attorney fees from the attor
neys of the Anti-Saloon league on account
of bringing Injunction casts, but It Is cer
tain the house will either amend these
bills or effect their entire defeat.
There Is no railroad lcglclatlon pending

In any bills affecting the railroads snd
anything that will cripple the railroads or
hamper corporations.
Mar Scare Is la tr rent la a.
The war scare Is becoming decidedly
Interesting to Iowa pfw.pl. There are four
regiments of the national guard with forty
eight companies located In about forty
towns. Titer four regiments are In eiccel
lent condition as shown by the reports of
ths Inspectors who are now at work. In
fact the guard companies have been Im
proved materially under a bill passed st
ths last session until now the companies
are practically ready for service. Either
of the regiments could be put on a war
basis within a few days.
At ths session of the military board held
last week It was felt almost certain that!' ctlon before itdlournin today In
at leaat one of the reelmente would be 1 or" tnp ,,an to eMabliMi four state nor-
.u-a ,,,, c ..
called Into action, perhaps to take the
place of regulars at an army post or for
reserve du'.y somewhere. Nearly every
guard officer asked to be on the list for
warded to Washington for selection of of
ficers to go to Texas to witness the
"maneuvers" of the regulars.
Mia Bills ta Re Opposed.
Operators of coal mines In the state are
getting ready to oppose the hills which
bsvs been prepared affecting coal mining.
The operators say that the Industry Is al
ready hampered as much as It will stand
and that to du more means a handicap In
the competition with other stales. The
bill most likely to cause a big discussion
Is the one for general revision of the mine
laws, which has been prepared under the
eyes of the national officers of the I'nlted
Mine Workers and Is Intended to be a gen
ersl rv,lsun ot the .Jaws that will give
Iowa miners the greatest possible protec
tion In their work. It will require every
kind of safety appliance, Including tele
phones In the rooms and abundant air
ahafts. Another bill much oposed by the
operators would require wash rooms at
each mine ahaft so that the miners could
clean up before going home. The bill for
examination of mines has already been
acted on favorably by the house committee
on mines.
May Amend the Primary 1 s w .
A bill has been Introduced to amend the
primary elections law so as to make It
pply to special elections. When passed it
was sgreed'on all hands that the primary
principle could not very well be applied to
any special election or emergency and the
bill waa fixed so that there could be no
doubt of It applying to nominations only
fer the generat flections. Now there is a ler reported . yrtiterday by the Pot La
des! re that tt .shall be- shade to apply to vattuinie County Abstract company;

COLORADO LITIGATION ENDED
Judge Monger Dismisses Mining Suit
Against Burton and Others.
CLAIMS LACK OF JURISDICTION
J Slice Wood raff firaats Order Releas
ing gome ef the Panda of the
Atlantic Internrbsa
Railroad.
Federal Judge T. C. Manger of IJncoln,
came to Council Bluffs yesterday and dis
missed the mining suit Instituted by
Colorsdo men sgiilnst G. E. Bunton of At
lantic, Dr. llsnna of Walnut and others,
on the ground that he had no jurisdiction.
The suit was for wages and material
alleged to be due about miners and
merchants of a small Colorado mining
town, assigned to W. L. Tsnner for the
purpose of bringing suit against the Iowa
men. who had been led Into a scheme
to furnish money to develop an old mine.
The case had been pending In the federal
court for several months.
While here Judge Munger entered the
final decree In the suit of the Northwest
ern Railway company against James
Qutnlan, who claimed ISO acres of valuable
land near the Blair bridge by the rtght of
squatter sovereignty. The land had been
regularly purchased by the railroad com
pany for use In connection with Its op
eration of the bridge and eventually for
yardage. Quintan entered upon the land
under decisions bearing upon Iowa swamp
lands, and lawyers held that his claim
was good. The railroad was given pos
slon of the land and was awarded two from
Qulnlan for the time he had occupied It.
Judge E. D. Woodruff heard the ap
plication of the receivers of the Atlantic
Northern ft Southern Interurban railroad
for the release of a sufficient amount of
the funds tied up by injunctions to pay the
wages of the men who have been driven to
the extremity of holding up the only train
so far operated on the road. The train
had been held at VUlisca by a crowd of
several hundred unpaid workmen and only
permitted Its release when assured of the
action to be taken yesterday.
Judge Woodruff made an order releasing
JS.2H0 of the tied up money. This sum was
said to be sufficient to meet the demands
of the unpaid workmen. There were a
number of the officers and Interested
stockholders of the road attending the
court proceedings. They declared that the
road has passed through Its most troublous
times and will soon be away from the
financial breakers through which It was
being launched.
ELECTION AROUSES INTEREST
Republicans and Democrats Both
Hart Tickets for the Board of
Ed neat ton.
The school board election to choose two
directors will be held tomorrow, with one
polling place In each ward. Until yester
day there bad been but little interest
aroused In the contest, and tt bid fair to
pass with but little, or no political coloring.
But during the day It was discovered that
the democrats had undertaken a still hunt
for votes for their two candidates. Robert
Peregoy and Dr. Earl Bellinger. The post
office was flooded with several thousand
circular letters appealing for the votes on
straight partisan grounds, with some mis
statements concerning the financial man
agement of the democratic school board.
It was claimed In the letters that the
democrats had "reduced the bonded debt
of the district $30,000 In the last two years,"
and this reduction Included "the first bonds
that had been paid for ten years.
The fact of the matter Is the finances
of the district are In very bad shape. The
school taxes for years have been more
than half of all the taxes paid, and de
spite this there Is a bonded indebtedness
greater than that of the total debt of the
city. The board has been democratic so
long that the memory of republican days
has fled, but there has been no disposition
to hold the democrats responsible for high
taxes, or the $310,000 bonded debt, but if
credit Is claimed for the $20,000 reduction
It must also be assumed for the $300.00)
creation. The fact of the matter Is the
board had no option In the matter. The
people voted the bonds and the board had
to Issue them. The board also had to pay
the $30,000 boasted of because the payments
were due and the tax levy to make the
payments could not be avoided.
The sudden partisan activity caused a
! strong sentiment to be awakened favora
ble to the republican candidates. Dr. Mack
Hanchett and Henry Peterson, the law
partner of City Solicitor Clem F. Kimball.
Both the young men are products of the
local public schools and graduates of the
high school. Dr. Hanchett Is the son of
Dr. A. P. Hanchett, one of the members
of the State Board of Health. He Is a
young man of spotless character, as well
as Illgn auilll, miu ii. iritiouu

Department of Agriculture, la urging upon
the Iowa legislature the creation of the
office of state highway engineer, la this
Connection he writes the following;
COUNCIL, BLUFFS, la., March lL-To
The Omoha Laily Bee. There are but
few states in this union but have a state
highway engineer and no state needs one
more than Iowa at the present time. We
should have a first-class engineer, who
is a good organizer and such a man as
would be entitled to a good round
salary, who would save to the state each
year many times the amount of his sal
ary, at the same time would create a sys
tem which would prevent the absolute
waste of more than half of our present
rosd fund and misapplication of a large
percentage of our bridge fund through
ignorance. Our most competent and pro
gressive farmers are anxious to listen to
the teachings of expert who have made a
study of the science of farming, but many
un progressive iarniera are aiready thor
i oughlv posted and object to such teach-
I Ings and exclaim sgalnst Its cost to the
people. No competent and progi'easlve
county or township official who desires to
do his best for the welfare of his corn-
niunity will object to expert advise and
direction, but It Is the other class that ob
jects to any system or control and kick
sgainst the expense or a state engineer.
There are but few. If any. county super
visors in Iowa who are competent to de
termine what a steel bridge should cost
or the class of such bridges that should
be built at a given point, but have to rely
upon coniraoiors roc cms iniormstlon.

'AFFAIRS ATJODTH OMAHA
City Fundi Are in a Somewhat De
pleted Condition,
POLICE AND FIREMEN LAID OFF
Casnell Fa-a to Fare with gerlows
Proposition and First of Xeav
Fiscal Years Five Months
Away.
An analysis of the report of the city clerk
of the financial condition of the city, pub
lished yesterdav. shows that according to
the rate of expenditure for the last seven
months the lighting fund will be short
ft. ISO 71., the fire fund 97 and the po
lice fund $.1,907.19.
The depleted state of the fire and police
funds hss long been anticipated and since
last November the board haa been monthly
laying off men. But apparently this policy
of reduction hss not been able to solve the
difficulty of the financial situation, and
the city council and the board are now
face to face with the serious proposition
of how to run those two departments until
the end of the fiscal year, five months
hence.
One of the recommendations of the char
ter revision committee was that these two
funds should be Increased, but whether
that recommendation will be In the bill
when It passed the legislature Is at present
a matter of conjecture. But whether or
not and this Increase can only help out
In the future the opinion of the taxpayers
Is that more care should be exercised by
the board In manning the police force.
Admittedly there ran be none too many
nien in the flrej department, especially in
view of the establishment of the two new
fire stations, but the general opinion Is
that the board has been In the past too
ready, for various reasons, to add to the
police force, with the result that there are
not sufficient funds now to meet the men
on the payroll, notwithstanding that some
have been compelled to take vacations even
to the length of three months.
The state of the lighting fund Is another
proposition and, as is well known, this Is
due to a too, generous response by the
Councilmen to requests for more light.
More light In dark places Is good, and par
ticularly when It Is of a moral or Intel
lectual character, but when It Is tne light
that costs so much per lamp It Is quite
another thing. Over and over again Mayor
Tralnor has warned the council that the
granting of these requests would place the
fundi In a serious condition, but his warn
ings passed unheeded and hence the posi
tion of affairs the report of City Clerk
Good discloses.
Admittedly there Is always a little money
coming from the collection of back taxes
-and there Is the prospect of 96 per cent
of the taxes being collected but this Is
only a drop In the bucket. That fund
stands at the present time at about $1,300,
and when that amount Is segregated be
tween the various boards what these de
pleted funds will get will certainly not
art their heads above water.
School Board Notes.
Superintendent Graham stated Saturday
that the high school at the present time
waa In receipt of about $600 per year from
students who reside In other counties, but
who come to South Omaha to avail them
selves of the tuition of the high school.
This money is paid by the respective
counties for the chlldrsn attending. An
other thing the superintendent stated was
that these children are some of the best
students at the high school. Probably they
realise that they are more or lees thrown
on their own resources and that It Is In.
cumbent upon them to make good and
msybe behind all there Is a bit of that
esprit de corps, which Is another name
for self-respect, whether It Is of a county
or personal character.
Apropoi of the school board election It
might be pointed out that under the city
charter no person Is eligible for election
to any office In the city "who Is Indebted
In any manner whatsoever to the city
county or school district," Those are the
actual words of the statute.

Prof! H. W. Wiley, M. D., Ph. D., of the
U. S. Dept of Agriculture, is the author of a
book on " Foods." In it he says :
"The components used in the manu
facture of Oleomargarine, when properly
made, are all wholesome and digestible
materials. It does not appear, therefore,
that any valid objection can be made
against the use of Oleomargarine from a
physiological or hygienic standpoint."
Note, the wholesomeness of Butterine depends
not only on the materials used but also upon the
method of making.
