On the question of a manufactur ing clause In the mulct liquor law , In which the people ot Council Bluffs and the wcsterr part of the state feel a deep Interest , he liad little to say beyond the expression ol his doubt that the legislature could be In duced to even take up the matter. This however , was not due to any now feeling In opposition to the growing demand for c more liberal law , but was owing to- the deter mination of the members to permit no side Issuer to como between them and the work of revising the code. Ho did not think thai any other bills could be considered. He admitted that the demands for a manufac turing clause wcro becoming more Impor tunate every day , but still he could see nc possibility ot the members of cither house consenting to depart from the original dla- position to conQno the work of the extra session to the revision of the code. imow.vs c. o. u. , The RIHIiiiInci ; of Low Priced.

The total disbursements groceries and coal amounted to $620.38. The overseer has put In operation a rule that ho flnda works excellently In two ways. It prevents people too proud to ask for alms suffering the humiliation when driven to apply to him for aid. and It sifts out the able-bodied follows who are too lazy to work and still expect to llvo In comfort. Ho has a. largo woodyard not far from his office , and when a strong man comes In and asks help from the county on the plea that his family Is starving and ho Is unable to find em ployment , ho Is sent to the woodyard with Instructions to saw some wood In payment for the food he Is begging. The prlco paid Is $1 a cord. But tow of those applying have declined the opportunity to earn their way , and the overseer has scouted the sawing and splitting of over sixty cords of wood , which , will bo sent towomen and Infirm people who cannot cut up the wood the county sends them. The woodsawers do not get paid In cash for their work , but the over seer gives them an Itemized order for gro ceries.
