n decision of vltnl Interest to the city. Thcie
lias been For years a ijtK-stion as to the limit

clcbtcdni'ss "In any manner for any puiposo'1

ctnt of the value of Its taxable prope-rty. In

Is subjected to special assessments fora Unn

in the minds of many whether these Improve-
mcntbonds wcto to he countrdus apart of
the city Indebtodiic-ss u-fi ried to In the con
stitution llndtin ( the nmountof Indebtedness.
When the Hist bonds were sold this question
wine up , and was carefully looked Into by
sharp legal minds , turning them Judge Dillon ,

bonds for these Improvement * * veio not to ho

Btlll thoiottiis no decision of the courts to

ther chilincel tbnt thiro was a defect in the
notices Hoivedon theproiierty owners , onler-
Ing them to pave , as the notices weio given in
cold weather , \vhen It win not practical to
pave , and that there was no particular kind of
maU-iinl spec-Hied. There were other minor
points , but these were the chief oiitson
whlih ho relied.
In the city's answer it was shown among
other things that outside of the special Im
provement bonds , the c-ity indebtedness did
not exceed ! > < ) , ( KX ) . It was admitted that if
either the Intunectlon bonds or special as
sessment bonds were to bo countou In then
the city's debt would i-\cced the limited
amount. The inaticr of H nres in detail
dropped out of sight In view of the leal
ijuc ticm as to the bonds tlion elves.
The case uas nigucil at Red Oak last
Thur la.Indgo Ayleswortb appc-nrcil for
Mr Madden. Ho laid ( jic.it stress on the
woids oftho LonstUutioii.il provision to show-
that the bonds were neicssaiily included in
llguilngnp tbccitj's indebtedness Iloalso
nruiicd that the notices wore defective.
( Jilv Attorney Stewart made 1111 answering
argument. Ho tool : up tlio pleadings care
fully and showed that in order to authorise
thi-lssnnnco of the writ It w.is iiecossaiv to
count in the Intersection bonds or the special
Impiovemcnt bonds as a p.irt of the debt
Hupiocu'dod to sihow that this could not be
done for the reason that the city could pa
the same out of the curt en t icveiino and sucli
Bpe'clal tuxes as It could lawfully levy
Numerous authorities weio cited.
I'lnloy Huiko of Buike ) & Hewitt made a
still lonper and still stronger ingunientin behalf -
half of tin * city. He rnn the changes on a
remark dropped by Judpo Ayh'sworth thnt
"thisviis n nlattt-r of little Importance to
Madden as compiucdlth tbocitj at laigo. "
Mr. Builio hhowcd how the city had been
haiiisscd by numerous such llttlo suits , and
that the question uas one of life and death to
the city , whllo to the individual property
o\\nor , biivinira few fed of paving onlv , it
did amount to little. If tlio position taken by
the plaintiff was to bo sustained , then the
city WHS helpless to go on with any linpiove-
inonts for a score of jcnrs to como. A few
years npo when the liidhin creek was tlio
general slop Jar for the Blowing city the res
idents submitted , and took their anne shako
at rugutur Internals. Times hud chingcd ,
and sanitary sewei.igo hail become as much
of a necessity and us murh of an oidlnaiy ev
pcnso as sidewalks. So with ptvlnp , The
time had passed when wagons should bo in
the mud up to the hubs In older to get
through the streets of the most Impoitant
city in this dlstilct. These weio no longer
extuiotdinary expenses fora city to Incui ,
but ncie-ssmy ones. In this view ho urged
thnt the Interpretation of the constitutional
provision should uo practical nnd common
sensed.
Ho then laid down tlio proposition that
where the contract mndo by the city pertains
to ordinary expenses , and Is tou'cthur with
ether like expenses within the limit of its
cmrent lovemicsimd such special taxes as It
inuy legally nnd in Rood t.iltli intend to le\y
thctefor , such a conti-ai t does not constitute
the Incurring of Indebteelness within the
meaning of the constitutional Inhibition
'lids ho sustained by nunieions uutboritics
nnd cited elites. Ilo clahnedthtitwheniisafe
mid certain provision in mule , or dellnlto
scheme , of taxation provided , whereby the
contract is pild as fast as the Indebtedness
Incurs and the revenue is merely anticipated ,
contracts for such woik are not to beregmd
cd ns ripathij ; debts.
Another ( imposition was that until the an
nual tasulo has developed th'5 fact that taxes
mi ) woithless the imp ml taxes should bo
tie-nU-d as available funds.
Ilo dwelt upon the claim that pavlnjj was
an ordinary nnd necessary cxpendltiiii' . All
the old charters had jjlven this piivvor to the
city , nnd U was still In the power of the city ,
bolngnatncd us other ordinary expenditures.
To support the position taken by tliepl.ilutllT
\\ouhlput a stop to Improvements In ovety
city In Iowa. I'.vcn DCS Molnes could not
pave the streets leadliict up to Iowa's grand
M,000OiX , ) capital , and statctme.i would bn\o
to wiulo to the legislative halls throngli mud
knee dcen.
Judge Decmers decision was cleaily and
( tontly In fuvorof the city , the wilt bilng
llutly n-fused. As to the defect m tliouutlce ,
he held thut In no such event could Madden
prevent the paving except In front of his own
lot , and under the plendlms huroulel not do
even this. The entire eiso turned on the
question whether the city had becomnln-
dobted by the Issuance of either the Intoi-sco-
lion or special improvement bonds. Ho had
plvoii tliu ciiho MTV careful examination , and
felt well convlneeil that the position taken by
the cltj's attorneys was coitoct.
The city bonds lm\o always sold well , hut
witn such n decision In their favor they will
doubtless ho Jumped nt oaRorlr , Tlio city
will ha enabled to go ahead with needed Im
provements , and the decision coming from so
M re till and painstaking , even technical ,
Judge ns Judge Doenier , the victory for the
city is otio which is well worth shouting
over.

Yesterday afternoon while the contractors
who have charge of the \\ork of opening up
Washington mcnuo through the Babbitt
place were blasting down the uolnt of a high
bill they wore astonished nt the result of one
blast that had boon Insei ted In tha upcv o (
the hill. Besides knocking down u score ol
tonsof thooaith Its atteiod the fragments
of ucotlliiiind the bones of n c-erpso ovei
the rut. An examination showed that thu
ccillln had been burled in the point of the
hill about three feet from the surface , and
thnt It tmd contained a human body , ovl
tlcutly that o < u woman. The coOiia had
Ix-cn simply a rough pine box nailed to
gelhor. The mill" , hail misted nway until
nothing remained but llttlo spikes of yellow
oxide , and the plno Ixiirdf had llttlo more
umii'lty than the dark mould of the soil.
'ilio skeleton , however , was In an excellent
stito ot pi'i'scrvatlon The skull was still
ronnecU'd with the vertebra , and at tlio back
of lit ci neck , twisted Into a Jinn Grecian
knot , was a heavy m.w of dirk brown hilr
stivakeil sllgbtlv with irrav and In perfect
invserviitloii. 1'orced down into tboknotof
hair. In the nninner the ladles used to wear
such onni'iients , was an old-finhloned bom
comb , with high circular back and metallic
ilvi-ts
The bed ) was evidently that of n woman
who Ind pissed middle ) age , Not a v.cstigoof
the Hbroudorineilnirshcct , or any other jicr-
sonal ornaments could bo discovered. 'Jho
teetli In the lower Jaw wereall In place , white
nnd firm , hut four were missing from the
upper J.i w.
The only explanation to be given for the
piesenccs of the corpse at the point whoio it
vv.is founcl , which his never been used for
c'-mctery ' purposes , Is the reasonable onu that
the body was thit of some pioneer Mormon
womjii wbo died on the way diirliiff the exo
dus to Salt Lake and was burled ontho ; point
of the hill at the phio pininl'lng the least
likelihood of disturbinco by the industry of
futuio generations.
The comb wns taken in charge by William
Walluo. one of the grader- * , and the bones
and the long , giay-streaked blown hair were
