THEIR RIDDANCMDRE THAN RtYENth TlioiinnnilM ot Ilrnil 1'otcH Knotimlicr the TIiurntiKlifnri-M nnit the Pro- IIOHIM ! Ijitw In , Kxpcctcd to ( Jet Jtld of Tin-in. Alderman Casper's ordinance taxing tele phone and telegraph poles , called up In the Moriday night's meeting of the council , will bo vigorously pushed1 by the alderman from the First ward. It Is meeting with a good deal of favor from the public and Is not opposed very strenuously by the companies having poles to MX. The ordinance provides for the levying of an annual tax of $1 on each pole maintained within the city llnvlts for the purpose of carrying electric wires. The ordinance Is not designed so much for the purpose of raising revenue as the re moval frcm the streets of a portion of the f ores I of unslgMly poles. The aldermen have argued that If a tix was put upon the poles the natural economy of corporations would compel the abandonment ot all poles not aLsolutcly necessary to the maintenance ot the llros. The rcpcrt raado 'to the council at the last meeting by City Electrician Brad ley showed Miat there were nearly 2,000 prac tically useless pjloi in the city. All of thcso will very likely bo removed It the pole or dinance becomes a law. Tin.- disposition of the companies Is to use larger poles and fewer of them. The re building of tae lines of the Nebraska Telc- phcitc company , which has Ucen completed ou Main street and Broadway to the river and the malri lead out on Goat Pierce street , has resulted In the removal of several hundred poles. Tiho larger and stronger poles ? can be placed at a greater distance and can carry double the number of wires. H Is also be lieved that the passage of the ordinance will result in tbo consolidation of some of the lined and the abandonment ot the poles now used. While t.ils Is the ultimate good effect aimed to bo rcaMzed , the addition to the city's Income that the tax will make will not bo unacceptable. Many of the aldermen have clao felt that It will either be necessary to remove -the tax .that has been Imposed by agreement upori the poles of the new longdis tance telephone company or pass the or- dlnancu and treat all alike. This clause was IntioJuced in the charter granted this com pany at tuo suggestion of Alderman Oisper and its success was waat prompted the Intro duction of the general or&ixirTCe. Tnero is undoubtedly some opposition to the ordinance , but it Is of a character that cannot be made effective in the council. The argument of liho alderman from the First ward that "If one company voluntarily agrees to submit to the tax , why should not the otheis bo compelled to ? " Is unanswerable , and none of tie other aldermen have felt like oppcslng It. When ths matter was under dlscuEuion at the meeting en Monday night all agreed that they would tivor such an ordinance U they were certain that it would bo constitutional and the tax Imposed was collectible. The disposition of the matter by referring It to a special committee will not delay its flnal consideration later than the next meeting of the council. Alderman Casper's assertion In the coun cil that he had been told by a. gentlcmsn In Salt Lake City that the ordlnano could never bo passed beyond Its second reading bus awakened some Interest , and he has been asked by the other members to name the man who claimed to know. He has given the Information and the gentleman proves to bD an employe of a corporation Interested hero and who used to bo a resident of this city. Domestic soap wrappeis call for spoons. IHlilitlicrln nt CroNi-'uiit City. An epidemic of scarlet fever and diph theritic diseases has broken out In Crescent City and vicinity , and the local health ofil- cers have taken vigorous means of suppress ing It by the establishment of rigid quaran tine regulations. Citizens of the village wore In the city yesterday tor the purpose of securing legal Interpretation of the au thority reposed in the village officers and ascertaining who constitute the proper au- thorltlcs. The constable , justice of the peace and township clerk are the only offi cers In the community , and they were in doubt as to which of them was the proper odlcer totake charge of the matter. The Information they reetlved was to the effect that the township clerk was the person rec ognized by the rules of the State Board of Health as the proper authority to enforce the health laws. He was also Informed that ic would have power to call to his aid any local phjsiclan , and the decisions reached and the orders Issued must bo enforced by the local constable , who becomes the execu- Ivo officer of the board. A number of cards to be posted upon infected residences and copies of the rules and regulations were sup plied by the Council Bluff's Boai-d of Health. The epidemic has not reached alarming proportions at the present time , but many caaes have boin reported , all , however , of a nlld character. Flvo cases of scarlet fever were reported In ono family among children who were attending the public school In the village. If the epidemic is not checked at once the school will be cloud.

( Special Telegram. ) There were some- decided surprises at the opening session of the Iowa. Episcopal con vention today. Bishop William Stevens Perry called the gathering to order In St. Paul's chutch , with about 200 delegates and others present. Ho had been unable to preach Sunday , but delivered his address this mornIng - Ing , although In very p'aor health. Ho de voted most ot It to a eevcro lecture to the churchmen of Iowa , saying that they had not done their duty In caring for church Institutions. Ho said the values of church properties In the sato ! have Increased over $1,000,000 since he became bishop In 1S70 < but the educational Institutions have not been fairly treated. Ho especially urged the claims ot St. Katharine's hall , the state school for girls ; Grlswold college for boys nnd St. Luko's hospital , the only Episcopal hospital In Iowa , all located at Davenport. Grlswold college Is practically suspended for want of support , and St. Katharine's Is little better off. Ho declared th'U too much money has been Invested In magnificent churches cud rectories In the cities and too little In real church work , missionary movements , educational enterprises and charlteblo efforts. The great surprise was when the blshci ) acknowledged his willingness to submit to the appointment ot a coadjutor bishop , ! n accordance with any nlan the church rnlch1 deem advisable. The committee topointcd nt convention lasl.May to consider the appointment of a bishop coadjutor , made no report and will aiy nothing final tomorrow. It Is under stood that In deference to Bishop Perry's declining health the matter will be held in abejance. Bishop- Perry stated that If It ] were the desire ot the committee he would endeavor to carry the work alone , but should ho find himself unequal to the task he would oill a fi3olal convention In the spring for the election of a bishop coadjutor. Common opinion Is that should Blshcg Perry die dur ing the winter , which Is not Improbable , the Iowa diocese would bo divided and two bshops : elected. Llttlo has been said of the probable selections In ttat event. Rev. Thomas E. Greene , pastor of Grace church. Cedar Rapids , would probably be one , and Rev. George H. Cornell of Sioux City stands a good chance as-tho'other. The meeting tonight was occupied chiefly with a discussion ofthe report of the Beard of Missions. ItHndifcated retrogression and showed a part of the stipends for mission aries unpaid. Dr. .McDonald of Council Bluffs and Dr. Greene of Cedar Rapids took the door and denounced .the Indifference of Iowa parishes toward mission work. "XVIII Have ji Heal Kami School. FAiRGO , N. D. .

Bloomfield Democrat : An appropriation ot $10,000 or $20,000 for an Iowa exhibit at the Omaha exposition would bo money thrown aw xy. An cpprcvrlatlon of $50,000 $ or $75,000 , If properly expended , will bo returned with good Interest , No Iowa man who attended the World's fair came homo kicking about the appropriation the state made tor that exhibit , Omaha Is a very close neighbor , the exposition will bo a big affair and Iowa will have a front eeat It the legislature will show a proper degree of liberality. Council Binds Nouparcll : Iowa cannot afford to bo stingy In preparing for a proper representation of its varied Interests at 'u TransmlssUslppl Exposition. Take the dairy Industry , for Instance , and that Is one ot many. It seems strangely Inconsistent to be endeavoring to Increase the popularity and widen the market of Iowa's butter and cheese In England and In Europe nnd then neglect to make the people of our own coun try familiar with their superiority when an opportunity Is offered at the very gateway of Iowa , The Iowa cow should bo given ample room at the exposition and should be well cared for that she may show up at her best. Missouri Valley News : The News Is sorry to see Iowa newspapers cpposlng a reasonable appropriation for an Iowa exhibit at the TransmlEslsalppl Exposition. They pay the state will receive no adequate returns. Now. what Iowa needs to hasten forward the de velopment ot her natural resources Is crpltal. All eastern people visiting the Transmlssis- slppl will cross Iowa cti some of her great trunk lines. Ot three people thoutands will see our matchlessly beautiful and fertile pmlrles for the first time. Then Iowa will bo at best In her summer garb of green fields and blooming orchards. Thousands will sec and admire and return to Invest. We will all bo benefited thereby. New capital , new blood , new enterprises will do us all good , So let the appropriation bo liberal. Lcmars Sentinel : Many of the members of the legislature and ncwopapetu of Iowa discuss the proposed appropriation for the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition at Omaha as It It were a donation to Omaha made by the philanthropists of Iowa. That Is a mis taken vlow ot the situation. The exposition at Omaha will bo an advertisement for Iowa , not a benefit performance for Omaha. While It Is true that Omaha wll Incidentally reap substantial benefits from the exposi tion , the great benefits will accrue from the publicity given to the resources and the advantages of the territory which Is repre sented at the exposition , Iowa will really have more benefit from the exposition than any other state In the nation , aa the majcr portion of the visitors will attend from the densely populated country to the east and bo obliged to cross Iowa In order to reach Oinalid. While Iowa pecole plead poverty and say they cannot afford to make any do nations to Omaha , they present the case In a wrong light. Iowa cannot afford to and o- f not to make any donations to Omslia , but on the other hand , Iowa can not afford to m'ss the opportunity to ad- vcitlso her resources and advantages at the great exposition. It will be the greatest blunder of the year If Iowa takes a nar row view of the exposition and rcfuoes to expend a liberal appropriation for fear Omaha will pick up a few pennies while Iowa Is reaping dollars. Des Molncs News : The News has given from time to time n fair reflection of ihe press of Iowa concerning the prcoosal of ad ditional appropriations for the Omaha Ex position. Apparently public opinion is much dlvldeJ' ' upon -proposition. . The stumbling block In the way of an adequate appropria tion iscvldent'y tro'a'EO Indebtedness of the state and the necessity , which is apparent , for a retrenchment of expenses. No news paper expression has gone so far as to deny the advlsa-billty of n further appropriation provided It can ibe made without Ipivolvlnff a further excessive Indebtedness. Those who favor a fair appropriation point out the fact that the state of Iowa Is not entirely self- dependent , that the trade of Nebraska Is worth much to us and that Iowa's prestige an3 commercial position In the transinissls- slppl territory ought to be a matter of con cern. All concede the opportunity which Is afforded Iowa to lengthen her lines and strengthen her stakes lu the land beyond the Missouri. It occurs to the News that the legislature might acoicijllh ! the desire for adequate representa- tl-n ot the ntatc at Omaha end also put the Indebtedness of the state In the way ot gradual extinction at the same time. The special session and the new code made good beginnings la this latter direction. What remains to be done can be ctaio by common sense measures of economy. Stlnt- Idp ; the state and depriving It of a great opportunity to disclose its advantages and position to the wcrld is almost ns criminal In Its effects as the piling up of a great debt by permitting the looting of the state treas ury through the 'pensioning of partisan henchmen for po'lteal purposes. Acco'dlng to good authority the state of Iowa ii > pay ing the state printer and state binder ? 20.000 per year more than the state would need to pay to have the work done 'by ' private con tract. This Is only ono instance of extrava gance. There are said to be others. It Is promised that these needless expenditures will be stopped after awhile. Why not stop them now ? What Is the legislature coming together for ? Why allow the public treasury to be bled by political grafteis for their private benefit and thoD put up the plea that the state Is too poor to make a decent show ing at Omaha ? Extinguish the po litical mosquitoes who live and flour ish on the public pap , cut down the expenditures to a busluehs basla and well within the current Income of the state. There will then bo sufficient funds to meet all requirements nnd provide a fitting fund for the 'proper showing at Omaha. TO CUKK COM ) IX OM3 DAY Toke Lax'itUo Brome Quinine Tablets.
