NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
School Board's ' Probable Action Brings on
Ccncral Discussion i
BDND PROPOSITION SEEMS CERTAIN
liin of ( lie QurMlon ( Votern
ill tliu A < * x ( nicctlon AltnoNt
Decided on llN Defeat All
JlntMired. .
Agitation of tlie question of building a
new High school structure continues , and
thcro are about as many different opinions
as thcro are people. The Interest at the
tltno the Board of Education called for n
conference of citizens unfortunately was not
strong enough to bring out n baker's dozen
of them to advise the board , nnd a subse
quent meeting held for the same purpose
was productive of no better results. In the
absence of expression of popular feeling
the board assumed that the people of the
city did not oppose the proposition to vote
a new set of long time and low Interest
bonds to pay for the erection of a new High
school building. At the next meeting of the
board , which will bo the regular meeting
on the evening of the third Monday in the
mcuth , the board will complete the prepa
rations for submitting the proposition to the
\otcrs to vote the bonds. The amount has
not been fully determined , but as the consti
tutional limit of Indebtedness will not per
mit the further Issuance of bonds beyond
the sum of { 70,000 , the bond proposition will
bo somewhere in the vicinity of that figure.
Since the matter has reached Its present
stngo a great many people have expressed
their opinions , showing about an equal
division of bcnttmont for and against the
proposition to fuithcr Increase the burden
of taxation. Ono said yesterday : "I am
satisfied that the people of the city have
been given an unnecessarily severe shock
by the report of the dangerous condition of
the High school building. Instead of being
dangerous I belles o that It Is one of the
safest buildings In town. Thcro aru sev
eral reasons why It should be so. The walls
nro of extrn strength and thickness , nnd
have a foundation that Is absolutely fault
less , In fact an Ideal foundation , Klevated
where drainage and seepage cannot affect
It , resting on a clayey surface that has been
compacted by thq superincumbent weight of
thousands of tons of earth that have rested
there for thousands of years , a clay that
naturally compacts under pressure and re
sists all changes , I am satisfied that nothing
but a fire , an earthquake or a tornado can
overthrow tha building. The solidity of the
structure Is Indicated by the fact that there
is not the semblance of n crack hi any portion
tion , showing that tliero has been no settling
slnco the building was erected about thirty
years age. Thu Interior construction was
faulty and the idea that permitted the center
of the floors to bo supported on wooden
piers was little less than stupidly criminal.
But this defect can easily bo remedied. It
need be the cottonwood Joists can be re
placed , and steel beams can take the place
of the deficient dimension timbers. While
these easily-made and Inexpensive changes
are being made the whole interior of the
building can bo altered and modernized and
the structure made adaptable to tlio wants
of the city for many years. Concerning
inu question 01 ncumi , i umiK uiero is mucn
room to criticise the rather hysterical asser
tions that the health of the youth of the
city Is being endangered by the dally climb
up the High school hill. At ono of the re
cent meetings of the board I wns amused
by the statements made by one of the ad
vocates of a new building , who by the way
la a contractor and builder , that ho had
stood on the top of the hill on many occa
sions and looked into the blanched faces of
the girls and boys who had been reduced
to a state of complete exhaustion by the
exertion of climbing the hill. I have taken
pains to go up there for the same purpose ,
and my observation led mo to the directly
opposite conclusion. Morning after morning
I have been up there and looked Into the
faces of the crowds of pupils as they
finished the climb up the hill and I must
confess that I never looked Into moro Joy
ous , happy , ruddy-faced boys and girls In
my life. There was not one of them who
did not show the exhilarating effects of the
healthful exercise , and very few of them
who would not climb the same hill or cno
much longer and steeper many times In
succession for the pleasure of coasting down
it if It was covered with snow and ice. If
my reading has not been altogether at fault
the strongest-limbed , healthiest and hearti
est people In the world are the hill-climbers ,
the Highlanders of all countries. I do not
bellovo the bonds will get a tenth of the
votes ot the people when the proposition Is
submitted In March. "
J. E. Hollcnbcck , who has examined the
building cnrefully on several occasions , once
to prepare bids for lowering It , says It Is
ono of the strongest In the city. The founda
tion , ho declares , is perfect and the walls
flawless , and ho believes that the proper
changes can bo cheaply made that will render
the building suited for all of the require
ments for many years to come ,

The necessity for raising Immediately a
largo sum of money was discussed and the
members of the special committees pledged
themselves to do their uttermost to pro
vide funds for the erection ot the big
tepee.
Secretary Judson rend nn cdllorlal In the
DCS Molnes Leader , ono paragraph of which
was heartily applauded "Iowa. " It says.
"Is too large , too rich , too Intelligent and
too good looking to do anything small and
shabby. If her small stnte debt nnd the
very urgent and considerable demands of
her state institutions require nn economy
that forbids the luxury of participating In
this show , all right ! But In that cnso let
her quietly decide to stny at home and work
In the kitchen , nnd then do so without
whining or pouting under no circumstances
being inveigled Into sneaking off down to
Omaha at the eleventh hour and appearing
nmcng her festal sisters wearing a ging
ham apron and sunbonnet. "
Whllo the committee was in session the
women who have undertaken the work of
raising money for the fund for building
the Boys' and Girls' building appeared and
asked the co-operation of the association In
the work. Among the women * wcro Mrs.
Judge Heed , Mrs. Phelps , Mrs. Atkins , Mrs.
Terwllllger , Mrs. Mcllride , Mrs. Beno , Mrs.
Patterson nnd the patronesses who assisted
In making the collections in the public
schools a short time ago. The plans of
the women were stated and a commltteo
was appointed to confer with them In the
parlors ot the hotel. The committee found
about thirty enthusiastic women assembled
and an hour was passed In discussing the
plans that were submitted. It uas finally
decided to accept the offer of a local pnpor
to use one Issue for the purpose. The date
selected was Washington's birthday , when
the women will bo given full charge of the
paper nnd will make nil Uie money possi
ble from the sale of papers and the special
advertising. They will begin the work of

correspondent makes light ot the enterprise ,
and the Globe-Gazetto of the same city edi

"Our friend Wheeler has become alarmed

Three or four hundred women debated the
question of fctnnla suffrngo before the legls-
latlvo commltteo of suffrage ) tills after
noon. The pro-suffragists wore marshaled
by Mary G. Hay of California , chief of the
national organization's work In Iowa , The
nntls wore commanded by Mrs. II , A. Foster
of DCS Molncs. Mrs. Mary Coggcshall of
DCS Molacs opened Xor the suffragists and
Mra. Foster mrulo the chief argume-it for
the opponents of equal suffrage. She waa
hissed vigorously when she attacked the In
tegrity of the petitions In favor of txiuit tut-
frage. She said the GO.OOO names presented
on these documents Included those of hun
dreds mow dead , of thousands of children
nnd of thousands "more who signed many
years ago , to petitions that have been jve-
scrved over since , for each blcnnnlal ap
pearance before the legislature. Mrs. uolilon
vigorously denied thepo charges nnd snld
every signature had been secured since De
cember 1 last. fTha commltteo took no vote
on the proposition to submit to n popular
the question of the amendment amending the
constitution to allow women to vote. It Is
believed the measure has a good chance to
carry In the house , ibut that tlio senate will
defeat It.
The State Agricultural society defeated
Attorney General Rnmley In the senate.
Hemley has been trying to dispossess the
society of Its rooms In the state house. The
seitato passed Iby n vote of 31 to 11 the bill
to permanently assign 'thorn to the agricul
turists. The lawyers voted against the meas
ure , viftcr a lively discussion.
Senator Mitchell Introduced a .bill . to allow
osteopathy to 1)fr practiced In the state. Last
winter the same iblll was killed after a long
struggle. The regular physicians keeping n
lobby hero oppose It. . . .
The Titus resolution for a constitutional
amendment to provide biennial Instead of
annual elections , was made n special order
for next Tuesday.
TEMPLE AMENDMENT.
The Tarr.iile amendment was considered la
tfio senate railroad commltteo this after
noon. HopresenMtlvo Cook Introduced the
measure In the house early in the session
and Senator Hobart In a 'Bltehtly different
form In the uppsr house. The Cook measuie
passed the houi'o nnd went to the senate.
The senate after hearing the representative
of the railroad employes , who have been
urging the measure , decided to report the
Ilobart bill for paB'iR < ? and the Cook meas
ure for Indefinite postponement. The meas
ures arc but sllK'Hly'dlfferent , but the Ilobart
bill is 'considered the most carefully guarded
in its terms. I
In the house Carr introduced n bill pro
viding further discrimination In favor of
Iowa Insurance companies. It Epeclfleb they
shall bo taxed rm the net Instead of KTOSS
rece'pts of their premiums. This will be
another firebrand .imong the foreign com
panies If carried Into effect.
It Is announced a legal technicality will
prevent consideration of the acrpll'ation for
pardon made by Elklnp , the Clayton county
murderer. The majority of the house com
mltteo Is favorable to pardon , but Attorney
General Ilemley is said to have given a de
cision which will prevent1 hln release unless
tie , law | s changed. The details of the de
cision liave heen carefully suppressed.
Prentls of ninggdjd , a disciple of homeo
pathy , yoste-day secured favorable considera
tion' before the commltteo on public health
of his bill providing the superintendent of
the Insane asylum shall bo a homeopath.
There are five regular physicians on the
committee , and the bill provoked an ani
mated discussion. The bill was recommended
for passage. '
TO AMEND MULCT LAW.
There will bo a strong pressure from small
cities for the passage of Senator Hobart'a
bill for an amendment of the mulct law.
Under the law as originally passed there was
no method by which a city of less than 5,000
could secure content to the operation of
saloons , unless the county had filed a county
consent petition. Cities of over 5,000 could
give consent by a majority petition , without
reference to the comity petition.
The prospect for a full ninety days' session
Is excellent. Lieutenant Governor Mllllman
Is quoted as of the opinion that there will
bo two months more of the session , nnd the
members who expect to go homo April 1 are
hard to find. There nro now 275 bills on
the flies , and the governor las : signed only
half a dozen. Hie board of control bill has
not been introduced ; the Cheshire amend
ment has not been taken ur > In commltteo
on either sldo of the capital , and It must
bo said that there Is but slight manifesta
tion of inte-cst In It. Senator Cheshire
claims a largi number of converts to It In
the senate , wiiero It was defeated a year
ago , and expresses confldenco it will pass ,
H will certainly require considerable time
In consideration. The appropriations com
mittees have Jusl begun their scries of hear
ings for the Institutions , which will take up
a good Miaro of the present month , and will
have to bo completed before the committee
will be ready to report out many of its bills.
There Is every prospect of some fights over
arproprlatlons , for the effort to cut down
the allowances about 70 per cent will be sure
to result In a combination of Institutions
Into rests In the effort to break Into the
treasury , The various school book hills ,
looking to state uniformity , state publica
tion , etc. , will take time , and so will the
constitutional amendments under considera
tion , ofpeclally the one looking to biennial
elections only. Senatorial rcarr.ortlonmont Is
likely to ho a serious matter before It Is
settled. There will ho a struggle over the
Omaha exposition cc < > roprlatloo ; and the
minor bills , of which thcro Is a goodly num
ber , though not BO largo as usual , will take
muck time. H has been generally expected
that a month would be consumed In handling
the beard of control matter : It will be , first
and last , rather more than less. As a mat
ter of fact , legislation Is now waiting on the
hoard of control bill. Nothing of impor
tance can be done on appropriations , ways
and means and other Important committees
till eomethlng is known of the policy of
this subject. ' ,

Dee Molnm Leader : The legislature
should give either1 something or nothing.
It Is a case In which half n loaf Is not bet
tor than nothing. Tf Towa cannot go to the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition in n manner
nttlng the dlgnlty/bf nho state It would bo
better to stay away altogether , There is no
middle ground. The expenditure of J10.000
would bo a waste , while the expenditure of
150,000 would bo econo'iny. This may sound
paradoxical , but It ) # the conclusion to which
practically all have cbmo who have given
sincere attention to the subject. It Is the
opinion , It may bo asserted , of the members
of the Iowa commission. A little shanty on
the exposition grounds , with a few scattered
nubbins In the Hortlculrnl building , a few
withered stalks of corn In the Agriculture
building , etc. , labeled "Iowa , " would bo In
finitely worse than nothing. This matter Is
for the legislature to decide. The decision
should l > o made after a fair consideration of
the faclH. Whatever the decision shall l > o ,
however , It should bo along the lines herein
suggested ; the fitato should either glvo some.
thing or nothing ; It should either stay away
entirely or else go In a manner that will
not bring a blush of shame to the thousands
of lowans who next summer will visit the
great (2,000,000 exposition.

The correspondent of tlio Cedar Rapids Re
publican who told at the excursion of Iowa
legislators to the grounds of the Transmit-
fllsslppl Exposition declares .that "as to what
nas found there , It Is but fair to say that
In magnitude nnd forwardness In fact. In
every way It far exceeded ( ho expectations
of any of the visitors. " In concluding his
account he stales : "Thcro was among the

-
conviction as to the propriety of
adding to the $10,000 $ appropriated by the
last assembly for a state showing at this ex
position , It Is generally thought , however ,
that something will bo done. One thing IB
certain : Iowa Is too large , too rich , too
Intelligent and too good looking to do any
thing small and shabby. It her small state
debt nnd the very urgent nnd considerable
demands of her stnto Institutions require an
economy that forbids the luxury of participat
ing In this show , all right ! Hut In that

DCS Molncs Xews : To the narrow ques-
lon "what has Omaha ever done for Iowa ? "
nay bo nnswered that of the 600 men now
employed on the exposition buildings 170 , by
actual count , are lowans.
A farmers' Institute held at Fnlrfleld ,

owa representation nt the exposition. Tills
was by action of ten members , who constl-
uted a majority of the Institute.
Marshalltown Tlmes-Rcrmbllcan : Tlio
rip to the Omaha exposition grounds should
lot influence the leglslaturo ngalnst Its
udgincnt , but it ought to enable It to act
nore intelligently In voting an approprla-
lon ,
Nothing should bo given because It would
lelp Omaha , says the Atlanta Telegraph ,
neither should a reasonable appropriation be
vlthheld because Omaha would derive some
> encflt from it , if the state of Iowa would
10 benefited to the extent of the nppropria-
lon. The interest of the state of Iowa nnd
icr people should be the only thing taken
nto consideration In making the approprla-
ion nnd we have no doubt but the leglsla-
uro will so act.

NEW BEDFORD , Mass. , Feb. 3. The
principal talk of the day In the strike situa
tion Is the difference that has arisen between
the union and nonunion operatives. This dif
ference threatens to end In open rupture , and
as many cases of destitution are reported , no
doubt rncny nonunion men will take the first
chance to go to work. The nonunlonlsts cay
that money collected outside the union has
been pnld to union operatives to the exclu
sion of nonunion help. At a meeting called
this afternoon a nonunion striker mounted
the platform to make the announcement of
tlio meeting , when some of the crowd set
upon him and put him out of the building.
The men who had threatened to advise the
nonunionlsts to return toork unices the
union promised them aid , were not preoent.
But the disaffection IMS become sufficiently
widespread to cause a .feeling of uneasiness
and It Is feared that unless some measure
is taken at once , the nonunlonlats will can/M /
trouble which will result In a stampede to
the mills.

It waa Ui a town not many miles from
Washington , relates the Star , that there was
rcccntjy given a couple of masquerade par-
'
tie * ( U p'rlvalo houses. At the second of
these the hostess of the first party found
herself talking amicably with a mask In
whom she euppcved she recognized a gentle
man who had come ( o town after her own
entertainment. Simply for the sake of In
dulging In convereatlon nnd of throwing the
gentleman off his scent of her own Iden
tity she asked :
"Wcro you at Mrs. Blank's masquerade
party" ?
"No , " ho answered. "I was not honored
with an Invitation. "
"Wero you In town at the time ? " she In
quired.
"Yes , " ho replied , "but Mrs. Blank does
not Ilko me. "
Consternation eolzcd upon Mrs. Blank ,
hut she Instantly determined not to betray
herself.
"Doesn't eh ? " the lady relumed care
lessly. "Probably that Is one of the things
which you Imagine. Some pcoplo arc nlwajs
assuming that others do not Ilko them , you
know. "
Her companion seemed n trlflo annoyed.
"I am not ono of that sort , " ho retorted ,
rather brusquely. "Besides , she has Inti
mated .to mo that she did not Ilko me. "
"Is It fair to oek how ? " Mrs , Blank nskcd ,
entirely mystlfleJ In regard to the Identity
of her Interlocutor.
"Why , I should not mind telling you If
I wcro sure that you wouldn't repeat It. "
"Oh , I never betray a confidence , " the
lady eald , eagerly.
The gentleman leaned over until his face
under the mask was near to hers , " 1 asked
her to marry mo. "
Mrs. Blank was more startled than ever.
The train of her old suitors and In her
day she had had not a few came up before -
fore her mental vision , nnd she wondered
which ono of them chance hail brought to
her sldo tonight , but In 'vain.
"But , " she said , slowly , "because n lady
refused your hand It docs not follow that
she dislikes you. I am sure a 'woman Is
not to bo supposed to dlsllko every man
she does not wish to marry. That would
bo a most nbsiird nssamptlon. "
"To bo sure It would , " ho assented cheer
fully , "hut In this particular case she did
not refuse me. "
"Did not refu.so you ? " echoed Mrs. Blank
in astonishment. "Sho certainly did not
accept you. "
"That is precisely < what she did do. "
"It Is not " Mrs. Blank began , nn-1
then considering that if she mentioned
names she might show moro knowledge of
Mra. Blank' , ? affairs than was compitlblo
with pretending to bo another person , so
she changed her sentence and Enid , "credlt-
ahlo that she should accept you and then
marry another man. "
"Sho didn't , Kate , " her husband said , In
his own natural voice , "sho married me. "
"Tom ! " she exclaimed *
"YC.S , my dear , " Tom answered. "You
told me at our party that I couldn't fool
you , even If I did wear a mask. "
"You are n wretch and n monster , " she
declared , "and I will never forgive you. "
But she did , and told the Joke nt her
own expense before the evening was over.
