Cannot Accept it Nomination from a Dem
ocratic Convention.
The effort of the democrats to put a nonpartisan -
partisan school board ticket In the field
Wednesday night was not altogether success
ful , as yesterday's events showed. . When the
leaders of the democratic party went to Dr.
J. M. Barstow before the convention and told
him of their plans he understood tlmt ho
was to bo nominated , not by the democrat's ,
but by a mass convention of citizens bent
upon divorcing politics from school business.
"U'Jieu he got up yesterday morning he read
in the papers that ho had been elected by a
meeting of democrats and no Immediately
sat down and wrote the following letter de
clining the honor ;
"COUNCIL BLUFFS , la. , Marcli 8. Mr.
Frank Trimble , Chairman Democratic
School Convention : I am advised that your
convention has nominated mo as a candldato
for member of the school board. I fully
appreciate the honor Intended , but as I ad
vised your committee prior to said conven
tion , I cannot accept a nomination from the
democratic party for the reason , as you are
aware , that I am < a republican. However ,
I am heartily In sympathy with the move
ment to eliminates politics from our city
schools , but as my own party has already
nuulo nominations , I cannot accept a nomina
tion from the opposite party. Respectfully ,
"J. M. BAHSTOW. "
The receipt of this letter naturally caused
a flurry among the democrats , and a hurried
consultation was held , which resulted In a
call being issued last evening , couched in
the following language :
"A mass meeting of the citizens of Council
Bluffs Is hereby called to meet In the court
house tomorrow evening to nominate a nonpartisan -
partisan ticket for members of the school
board. This call is made In view of the fact
that Dr. J. M. Ilarstow , nominated by the
democratic convention , declines the nomina
tion on tlni ground that the convention was
not a nonpartlsan body. All citizens Inter
ested In the welfaru of our public schools
are urgently Invited to attend.
"FRANK TRIMBLE , "
It Is senil-ofilclally stated that at the con
vention this evening both Oliver and Uar-
stow will bo ronomlnated In order that no
one may claim they are democratic candi
dates. This is understood to bo the plan of
the democratic leaders.

The case of the state against Herman
Parr , charged with criminal negligence caus
ing the death 'of E , F. Holmes , was gotten
n * of Its regular order yesterday by the
illivg of a motion for a change of venue , aU- (
ftMrjts being filed that the defendant could
not get a fair trial In I'ottawattamlo county ,
Ho will probably be taken to Mills county
for trial , that being the nearest place of
holding court.
II. A. Forsytho was charged with obtaining -
ing money under false pretenses. No evi
dence was Introduced. Judge Smith thought
thai Forsytho had merely puffed his wares
too highly for the purpose of making sales ,
lutt that could not be called obtaining money
under fnlso pretenses. The defendant was
accordingly discharged ,
The case of William Brown , charged with
assault with Intent to kill Harvey Washing
ton , was completed and given to the Jury ,
and at 10 o'clock last evening a verdict of

Cltl/riM'Contention llrltl Under the Auspices
of tlio Local I'opullnt * .
The "citizens' convention" at the court
house to nominate candidates for the
school board was not a glittering success ,
cither In point of attendance or In amount
of work done. Less than forty were pres
ent , and many of those were there simply
as Interested spectators. The rest were
populists. John Allies made n speech to
open things up , In which ho hotly roasted the
democrats for foisting upon the public n
so-called "nonpartlsan" ticket , composed of
ono republican and 0110 democrat. Ho also
roasted everybody In general for the abuses
which he said existed In school board mat
ters , as well as In other branches of
municipal politics.
When ho had finished , A. M. Hutchln-
son , the chairman of the committee on reso
lutions , read n set of resolutions , which In
substance protested against mere show and
meaningless parade , such as building new
school buildings , and particularly nn $80-
000 High school , when the buildings now In
existence will accommodate G.OOO pupils ,
while there are less than 3,000 enrolled in
the schools. It declared that teachers
should be chosen for tholr ability , and not
on account of personal friendships , and ad
vocated a reduction of salaries wherever
auoh a thing was possible. It denounced
the organization known ns "High School
Cadets , " as likely to result In the , formation
of a military despotism. It denounced the
superintendent for changing books frequently
In the Interest of the book trust. It advo
cated the Idea of the board carrying Its own
Insurance , and said that In the event of the
High school building being spld , the question
sould hu submitted to the voters to decide
upon the price.
This sot of resolutions was adopted and
the candidates who should bo chosen were
pledged to cary out the resolution to the
Isttsr. But after the candidates had been
pledged , the convention found Itself In the
rather embarrassing position of not being
able to find any candidates to run. One
after another was named , but either person
ally or by his friends refused to run. Much
time was taken up In haggling over ono
thing or another , and the convention finally
adjourned until Saturday evening In the hope
that by that time Providence would provide
a lamb or two for the sacrifice.

the purpose of making arrangements for es
tablishing a normal school here. The plans
have not yet progressed so far as to enable
those interested to make the whole schema
public , but it Is sufilclent to say that a num
ber of prominent and wealthy citizens have
carefully examined the plans suggested and
are unanimous In expressing their approval.
A great deal of interest Is being taken In the

DEBATING ON LOCAL OPTION
First Day of the Tight iu the Iowa
Legislature
SOME TACTICS OF THE PROHIBITIONISTS
Will Try to Ilrfrnt the CompromUo Mrnuiro
In tlio Hcimt < < hy\ Loading the
Hill with Obnoxious
Amendment ! ! ,
DES MOINES , March S. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) In the senate the Car
penter local option bill was taken up as a
special order at the morning session. Sen
ator Funk , chairman of the committee on
the suppression of. Intemperance led the
debate. Hi > said , among other things , that
the republican party In convention assem
bled last August , had deliberately decided
to abandon state wide prohibition , and that
every republican senator , no matter what
might be his personal views , was bound by
the party declaration on this question. Tito
pending bill , In his Judgment , embodied the
expressed will of the party In question. The
and should receive the loyal support of every
republican senator who believed In keeping
faith with the people. The bill was taken
up In the afternoon session by sections ,
Senator Gronowcg moved to substitute the
democratic caucus bill , but no Vote was
taken on this proposition. On motion of
Senator 12111s , the number of Inhabitants in
a city authorized to take advantage of this
law without the sanction of the county , was
reduced from 7,000 to C.OOO.
The prohibitionists led by Finn and Rowcn
savagely attacked the bill and sought to
kill It by loading it down with amendments.
The senator from Taylor moved to add n
provision , requiring signatures of nil women
over 21 In order to call an election also
to authorize women to vote on the propo
sition when submitted. Both wcro lost by
a vote of 15 to IS. These voting to de
feat the bill In this manner were Andrews ,
Chintry , Cheshire , Conaway , Eaton , Finn ,
Farrell , Henderson , Jewctt , ' Kllburn , Palmer ,
Phelps , Penrose , Rowen and Vale.
Four members , Jamlcson , Lewis , Perrln ,
and Turner dessrtod the prohibition con
tingent and voted to allow the friends of
the measure to perfect It and bring It be
fore the senate for final action. The demo
crats sat silently In their scats and declined
to vote. Amendments were added confin
ing sales to the hours between C a. in. and
10 p. m. and refusing permits to any party
convicted of violating the present law , all
proposed by friends of tho1neasure. Nine
teen of the twenty-four sections were gone
over In this manner and Scny.tor Brewer
gave notice that he would move the pre
vious question tomorrow , but it Is not be
lieved that a vote can bo reached tomorrow.
In the house the session was consumed
by democrats speaking In favor of substi
tuting the Robinson local option measure
for the pending mulct bill. Mr. Robinson
defended tlio measure at length , followed
by Taylor of Davis and Snake of Cedar , all
claiming that local option was the true
solution of the question. A vote on substi
tuting this bill will be reached tomorrow.
A bill was Introduced by Rowcn In the
Fenato providing for the summary suspension
from olllco of all officials who failed to en
force the prohibitory law.
The senate passed the house bill to
recodlfy" the laws. The bill provides for
the appointment of a commission consisting
of five lawyers at a salary of ? 10 pur day
to rewrite and arrange the general laws
preparatory to their publication by the state
and two members of the legislature , ono to
bo selected by the senate and ono by the
supreme court.
Mr. McCann introduced a bill In the house
requiring fire insurance companies to de
posit their securities for reinsurance with
the auditor of state.
TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION.
Mr. Carnwoll of Clay has introduced in
the lower house a resolution to amend the
state constitution In a manner that he thinks
cannot fall , if adopted , to Insure the enforce
ment of the prohibitory liquor law. The
proposed amendment reads as follows :
"No intoxicating liquor shall bo manufac
tured In this state for sale andno such
liquors shall bo sold In this state as a bever
age.
age."Upon presentation of a petition in the
name of the state charging any person with
a violation of cither of the foregoing pro
visions , verified by three reputable citizens
of the state , to the district court of the
county where the violation Is alleged to have
occurred or to any judge thereof , such court
or Judge shall order a temporary injunction
without bond , restraining the defendant from
further violation. Upon ten day/ / notice to
the defendant or on his application the said
court shall grant a final hearing In the mat
ter , and If it shall bo found that the allega
tions of the petition are untrue the court shall
dissolve the Injunction , but If the allegations
are true the court shall make the injunction
perpetual. If the Injunction be against the
manufacture of such liquors the court shall
render judgment against the violator for
$1,000 for each day' that sucli violation shall
continue. If It shall bo against the sale of
sucli liquors the court shall render Judgment
against the violator for $500 for the first
offense and for each offense thereafter $1,000
or Imprisonment In the county Jail not ex
ceeding six months , In tlio discretion of tlio
court.
"In all proceedings to execute this article
the court shall allow a reasonable fee to the
plaintiff's attorney , in the event the state
succeeds In the proceeding , to bo entered as
part of the costs. Costs should bo as-
sessi-d as In other cases. Tlio judgment
for fine and costs shall be a Hen against all
the property of the defendant In the county
not exempt from execution. Execution on
any such judgment shall be Issued ns In
similar cases. Appeals to the supreme
court may bo token and shall bo tried as in
other cases. The rules of practice and the
statutes in force at the time applying to
other llko actions and proceedings shnll bo
applicable In proceedings under tills article
so far as they are not in conllict witli the
foregoing provisions. "
DISTURBED BY THE TAX- LEVY ,
Shall the tax levy for the coming bien
nial period bo increased or not , is the ques
tion that will bo settled by tlio house in a
few days. The anti-monopoly legislatures
of 1888 and 1800 , after paying off nearly
$760,000 of debts by the cxerclso of rigid
economy , were enabled to strike off the half
mill extra state levy that was made to
create a sinking fund to meet the ex
traordinary expenses , arising from the erec
tion of the now capltol building. Tlio tax
levy was not reduced without n strong pro
test on the part of special Interests that
asked for liberal appropriations , which ,
though defeated at the lime , have so In
creased tholr demands for now public build
ings and other expenditures of an extra
ordinary nature that an Increase In the rate
of assessment to 2V6 mills must either fol
low or all Improvements in this direction
must stop short. The house committee on
ways and means decided against an In
crease , but the lobby Insisted on forcing tlio
Issue on the floor of the house.
The revised revenue bill now pending In
both houses has drawn the fire of tlio largest
and most determined lobby over assembled
here. The clause doubling the taxes of all
slack ( \ Insurance companies organized
under the laws of this state and taxing
mutual life Insurance companies , appear to
bo very objectionable to these Interests ,
The railroads are strongly opposed to having
tholr gross earnings made a factor In fixing
their assessments , fearing It would result
In largely Increasing tholr taxes In this
state. As UICEO are the main features of the
bill , It U almost certain that they will bo
able to sidetrack the measure either In the
house or senate. Two sessions will be held
dally in- both houses , commencing with next
Monday , and an effort made to reach final
adjournment at an early day.

ST. PAUL , March 7. Grand Master Sar
gent of the firemen and Chief Arthur of the
engineers , with the committee of dissatisfied
employes of the Northern Pacific railway ,
today called On General Manager Case In
regard to the modified schedule of wages
submitted by the men In answer to the re
duced schedule previously announced by the
management.
Mr. Case made a statement showing the
new schedule was the best possible from the
company's standpoint , and explaining fully
the proposed changes. The men were not
satisfied and retired for consultation. After
the consultation Grand Chief Arthur recom
mended the acceptance of the new schedule ,
stating that It was better than that of any
other northwestern road. He expressed the
opinion that the best thing to do was to
accept. From all that can be learned to
night It seems his advice has been accepted
and the men will offer no further opposition.
In an Interview this afternoon on tlio
question of strikes , Mr. Arthur said that
his organization had for six years been pay
ing ? 50 a month to twenty-five "former"
engineers who had been unable to secure em
