Well
There has been an extraordinary call for
copies of the program that will be observed
at the meeting of the Southwestern Iowa
Teachers' association , which meets hero on
April 1 , and lasts three days. The Inquiry-
gives reason for the belief that the attend
ance will be greater than at any previous
meeting of the association. One feature that
gives considerable Interest Is the great num
ber of Inquiries from Nebraska. This Is not
to be accounted for altogether by Iho fact
that a number of prominent Nebraska cdu-
catorrj have been placed on the program , but
1s attributable to the character of the gath
ering and Its accessibility to Ncbraskans.
State Superintendent Sabln has Isaucd an
appeal to the school boards and the public ,
In which ho says : "Tho attention of teach
ers , school officers , ! and friends of education
la called to the program. It Is strongly
urged upon school officers to allow teachers
to attend these meetings without loss of
time. Ibis has been done at other meet
ings with the happiest results. Teachers and
schools will be benefited by this course
County superintendents are expected to call
the attention of school officers to this mat
ter. Wo desire to see a largo gathering of
rural school tcaehcrs at Council Bluffs. City
teachers anil country teachers can learn
from each other's experience. School officials
should bo there In largo numbers , for mutual
consultation and advice. The meeting at
Council muffs In 1S9G was a great success
Wo must make this meeting surpass It In

DES MPJNES , JIarch 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The DCS Molnes postolllce flgbt has
been suddenly precipitated by a sensation In
the legislature. Postmaster E II. Hunter ,
whose term will not expire till Auguht , 1S9S ,
has become Involved in some uncomfortable
lelatlons with the lobbies at the state house ,
and a move ba ! > been started to hecuro bis
removal. Mr. Hunter makes lobbying a
business during the legislative sessions.
The . recent scandal about the building and
loan lobby developed facts which bavo been
decidedly embarrassing to Mr. Hunter. He
was the chief of tbo paid lobbjlsts ot the
building and loan federation , which claims
to have Influenced the election of the speaker
and the appointment of building nnd loan
committees In both houses. Saturday both
houses began enforcing the rule against al
lowing lobbyists on the floors , and simul
taneously the circulation of some postoffice
petitions was begun. The candidates are
D. .Lewis Schooler , J. M.Christy and Isaac
Brant. It was generally supposed that no
effort would bo made to secure Hunter's re
moval , as he was a leading sound money
democrat , but In view of late developments
the matter has been stirred up. There has
oven been serious talk of Introducing a reso
lution in the house , recommending Hunter's
icmoval from tbe office on account of bis
relations to the lobbies.

Mayor Ensor announced yesterday that
ho would veto the resolution passed by ths
council at Its meeting last Tuesday night ,
which granted to T. C. McDonald & . Co. the
contract for rcpaliing the 0. street \laduct.
With the exc ptlon of ono , McDonald's bid
was the highest received , but certain
members of the council argired that as he was
a taxpayer here ho ought , to bo given the
co.uract even though hla bid wad $270 higher
|
than ! the lowest bidder , and $125 higher than
the city engineer's estimate. Every member
of the council except Vansant voted'to
McDonald the contract. Hyland Intimated
that some of the lower bidders were not
responsible and the rna > or took exceptions
Jt J the statement. At any ratft the whole mat
ter t will have to bo gone over with again.
The ] plea that McDonald was a tax payer
was not well taken for the records show that
he 1 pays lew taxes than any of the bidders
with the exception of Campbell of Council
Bluffs. I
If P. H. Mahoney , who offered to do the work
for | C55 , has Just completed a government
contract In Omaha and Is corsldcrel reupon-
Flble In every way. J. J. Mahoney , who Is
1t Interested 1 with P. H. Mahon-y In the con
tract t , owns the new Mahcney block at
T.vcnty-flfth and N streets In this city , and
also owns a live-twelfths interest In Mahoney
0i 0C Mlnahan's addition to South Omaha , which
comprises ten acr ° s on Thirty-eighth street
between Q and L streets. The block la aa-
seised at $1,000 , the city tax amounting to
$200 last year , while the addition Is accessed
at $3CGO. the city tax last year being $70 25
Total city taxca paid by Maroney last year
$270 25
Ernest Stcnger , the next lowest bidder ,
who offered to do the work for $700 , hae
also just completed work on a government
contract. Stenger owns property In this city
as follows : Twenty-third and L etreetn ,
Twenty-first and L streets ; Twentieth and
X btreets : Tw only-fourth and L streets Al
together Mr , Stenger owns eighteen lots In
this city which are nsbewed at $1,050 , and
upon which city taxes to the amount of $52 50
wcro paid last year. Thla Is exclusive of
special taxes for curbing , paving , eewers ,
etc According to the records Stenger has
paid Into the city treasury for taxes the
sum ol $1GOO , and on this account ho thinks
ho Is entitled to some consideration In the
matter.
T. C. McDonald , who waa given the contract - 1
tract because ho was a South Omaha man
and a taxpayer , has propel ty here cutesed
at $1,040 , upon which his taxeo last year
amounted to $52.
Dick O'Kesfo had In n , bid for $995 , which
wa the highest ono received. Ho owns
property all over the city , and for the laat
five > cars his taxes have avsragcd $1,952,40
a year. If taxpaylng Is to bo considered
O'Keefe thinks ho Is entitled , to some con- a
bldsratlon became he pujs moro taxes than
any of the bidders.
C. E. II Campbell of Council Bluffs bid
J SOO , which was the engineer's estimate , but
pome members of the council did not think
him competent , Mr. Campbell Is one of the
bent known bridge builders In the west and
Iia the representative of the Milwaukee Brldg ;
and Iron Workn , which constructed the L
street viaduct. This bridge was put up under
the personal supervision jot Mr. Campbell ,
and has needed very llttlo .repairing . since
It I was completed. r
Mr Mahoncy csserts that umlesQ he gets
a fair show at tha contract ha : will slf the
courts to prevent the contract from being °
awarded to McDonald , Jloifcver , the veto
of the mayor will obvlatbi the neceirslty of ?
appealing to tha courts. Jt ibi thought that
the mayor's veto will be euttdlned and If It

Ono of the bills passed by the late legis
lature which will be a eourco of litigation
at an early date Is the bill to license ped
dlers and hawkers. The main provisions
of the bill require a license to be paid by-
all peddlers or hawkers taking orders for
groceries , clothing , hardware or other mer
cantile establishments , and includes In its
scope all peddlers , hawkera or solicitors. The
license Is : For pack peddlers on foot , $25
to $50 per year ; peddlers with wagons or
other vehicles , $50 to $100 per year ; and for
solicitors for groceries , clothing , hardware
or other mercantile establishments , $75 to
$125 , no license to U ; Issued for a less time
than one year. Runners traveling for whole
sale houses and taking orders from mer
chants only , and peddlers of farm products
are exempt from the provisions of the act.
The penalty for violation is a fine of from
$23 to $100. One of the first question' ! which
will bo raised H whether the solicitors
for the various blank book bouses will come
within the provisions of the act. They are
solicitors and take orders from Individuals ,
and the plain reading would indicate that
they do. Ono of this class of solicitors will
very likely be called upon at an early date
to test tbe law In regard to that class of
work.

made Its owners , wealthy. The last
lot of a Eeventy-flvo ton shipment
of ere from the Harrison to tbe

show the net product to bo over $20,000 , or
about $275 pel ton. It Is said on good author

Ragged Top has added another rich strike
to the record already attained In that well

jcstcrday. The diamond drill on the Green
B. llaum property. In Calamity gulch , near
Balmoral , struck an exceptionally rich flat
formation , showing a thickness of live feet , at
depth of 284 feet. Assays of the ere arc
said to run very high and tfio owners of the
property are consequently jubilant. It Is
thought that this five foot formation Is but
the first ono ot a number which will bo en
countered as the drilling Is continued deeper
The company expects to drill to a depth of
2,500 feet In older to discover what the earth
at that depth contains. This now strike
on Jho llaum property puts now llfo Into all
the Ragged Top prospectors , and they are
awaiting further developments with a great
deal of Interest.
