ALTERNATIVE WRIT OF MANDAMUS ISSUED
Petition of the Council Filed Ycnter-

Hmllh lletiirnnulo
In Tcii Inr * .
The Board of County Supervisors having
failed to comply with the demand of the ;
city that the portion of the county road
fund raised by taxation upon property within
the city be expended under direction and
supervision of the city council , the matter
has been taken Into ( he courts to determine ,
City Attorney Wadsworth yesterday afternoon -
noon filed a petition asking for a writ of
mandamus to compel the supervisors to turn
over to the city treasurer all moneys re-
cclvcd as taxes fiom the levy from and after
October 1 , 1697 , when the now law went Into
effect , to be expended by * he city council
upon the streets of the city or highways
adjacent thereto nnd to compel the Doard
of County Supervisors to expend the money
rerclvcd as taxes from the 1 mill road fund
levy upon the property within the city
limits from nnd nfter October 1 , 1897 , only
under the direction of the city council. Judge
Smith ordered that nn alternntlve writ of
mandamus Issue , commanding the super
visors to turn over to the city treasurer all
the funds referred to In the petition or np-
pcnr on Wednesday , Mny 18 , nt 9:30 : n. m.
and show cause why the relief prayed for
should not be granted.
Following the usual preamble the petition
filed by the city sets forth that the assessed
valuation of the property within the city
limits Is $4,039,350 , nnd that the 1 mill road
fund levy would yield $4,659.35 , of which
nmount already moro than one-half has
been paid to the county treasurer. The
petition then cites the portion of the now
code conferring on the city the right to
direct the expenditure of the portion of the
road fund raised within the city , and that
formal demand had been made by the city
on the Doard of Supervisors , nnd sets forth
"that notwithstanding the provisions of the
statute the said Donrd of Supervisors Is at
tempting to unlawfully and fraudulently
misappropriate the funds arising from said 1
mill road fund levy within said city and re
fuses to comply with the requirements of the
statute and refuses to expend said fund
arising from the property within said city
limits under the direction of the city council
as provided by law ; that said refusal Is con
trary to law and equity and will work great
and Irreparable Injury nnd damage to the
city of Council Bluffs.
"That said Board of Supervisors at Its ad
journed meeting In April. 1898 , attempted to
misappropriate said funds by passing the
following resolution , to wit :
Resolved , That the expenditure of the
county road fund tax collected from the city
of Council Bluffs and Kane township shall
bo controlled by Supervisor Dnker for use
lu his district and that the county road tax
paid by the balance of the county shall
bo equally divided between the other four
supervisors , the limit of the nmount to be
expended In the four other districts to bo
J2.400. This resolution to apply to expendi
tures to Juno 1. 1898. and that the auditor
Is authorized to issue , .warrants according
to the order of distribution.
Supervisor Baker's district referred to In
the resolution comprises Council Bluffs ,
Kane township outside the city and the
townships of Crescent , Garner nnd Lewis.
Council Bluffs comprises almost the entire
territory Included In Kane township. The
road fund arising from taxation of prop
erty In Lewis , Garner and Crescent town
ships amounts to $1,085.33. The petition
continues :
That by said resolution said board of su
pervisors is attempting to misappropriate
the money received from Crescent , Garner
and Lswls townships and expend It On the
roads In other parts of the county and is
attempting to misappropriate the money re
ceived from the road fund levied upon the
property in Council Bluffs and to expend
said money In the Improvement of the
highways In said Crescent , Garner and
Lewis townships , thereby injuriously dis
criminating against the city of Council
Bluffs.
That attempting to oblige the citizens of
Council Bluffs to pay out of the 1-mlll road
fund levy for the Improvement of the roads
In the townships of Crescent , Garner and
Lewis is unjust , unlawful and inequitable.
The petition sets forth that thcro are 270
miles of streets besides about 270 miles of
alloys connecting with the streets in- the
city , .and they are In such condition that It
Is absolutely necessary to spend all the
money received from the road fund levied
within the city on them to repair , Improve
and make them passable , and concludes.
That the board of supervisors has ex
pended no money received from said 1-mlll
levy In the Improvement of tho' streets
within the city , although often requested
to do so. nnd that unless commanded to so
do by order of court It will expend all of
the fund derived from the levy upon the ,
property within the city upon the roada
outside of the city limits.
The demand of the city to control the ex
penditure of the road fund for this year Is
resisted by the supervisors on the grounds
that they claim that the new law docs uot
apply to moneys levied before the code went
Into effect. The tax was levied In August ,
1897 , while the new code did not go into
effect until October 1 of last year.

on n Merc Technicality by the
ItcRulnr Army OHlccr.
DES MOINEa , May 6. ( Special. ) The
trouble In Camp McKlnley on account of
the physical examination of the men who
have applied for enlistment Into the volun
teer army of the United States Is much
more serious than any ono can understand
except the men In the Iowa National Guard.
The examining board Is composed of Lieu
tenant Negardon of the United States army ,
Dr. T. J. Priestley of this city nnd Dr. A. L.
Wright of Carroll , and the complaint of the
members of the guard Is that the regular
army surgeon Is entirely too severe In his
requirements. The members of the guard
became greatly wrought up over the exam
ination when It became known that nine
( I officers of the guard had failed to pass the
examination , the following being the un
successful ones : Lieutenant Colonel Andrew
C. Bergen , surgeon of the Second brigade ,
Sioux City ; Major Wllllnm J. Duggan of the
Third regiment , Crcston ; Major James A.
Sherman , surgeon of the Fourth regiment ,
Cherokee ; Captain W. H. Keating , company
F , Third regiment , Oskaloosa ; Captain Van
Buren Knott , additional assistant surgeon
of Fourth regiment , Sioux City ; Lieutenant
Park Flndley , assistant surgeon , Third regi
ment , Des Molnes ; Lieutenant C. A. Tracy ,
signal service corps of the First battalion
of the Third regiment ; Lieutenant Franco
C. Roberts , additional assistant surgeon
Second regiment , Fort Madison ; Captain E.
C. Pealrs company K , Third regiment , Corn-
Ing.
Ing.Of
Of about twenty-five men examined the
above failed to reach the requirements , al
though most of them were thrown out after
a rigid examination because of weight. The
officers are preparing a petition nnd will
appeal to Adjutant General Byers , and will
ask him to appeal to the War department
In their behalf. The Iowa delegation In
congress will be asked to work on the matter -
tor nnd the men may yet be able to hold
their positions. Just what pressure can bo
used In Washington to give the men nn op
portunity of holding their places Is not
known. The officers who failed to pass are
known to bo competent officers nnd they
think the mattur of weight should not shut
them out.
The men In the camp are much excited
over the results and many of them think
the examinations were made unnecessarily
severe In order to secure the rejection of
certain officers. The men are again making
the threats made when' It seemed probable
that but three regiments' would bo sent to
the front nnd when It.was proposed to com
mission all officers of volunteers according
to military knowledge , nnd skill , that they
will go home and refuse < to volunteer unless
they can have their own * officers.
Lo < of Ilreiii Weeded.
Three thousand loaves , of bread are re
quired each day to feed the men In Camp
McKlnloy. Each of''these costs 1 cents.
The reason of the hlfiUtijrlco Is the rise In
the price of flour all over the country nnd
n combine of Des , tolncs bakers. WhcN
'
they first put In thelr'blde at Adjutant Gen
eral Byers' office , theprices varied , and ac
cording lo theni 'the jtrcad could have been
furnished to the men In camp1 nt 3Vi cents
n loaf. But the next day nfter the bids
were In every ono of the bakers withdrew
them and put In bld3 at 4 cents a loaf. The
contract for supplying the men was given to
one establishment.
Had the two Iowa batteries of light ar
tillery been left to the state of Iowa they
would have been heard from In case they
wore given an opportunity to do anything.
They would have been the pride of the state ,
for the very best kind of men were apply
ing for places in the service , and John R.
Prlmo would have been placed at tbo bend
of ono and General Lincoln at the head ol
the other , in case the latter should not be
appointed brigadier general. But It seems
to be assured that General Lincoln is going
to got his deserved promotion nnd that Gen
eral Prime will nlso be given a good place ,
where his superior military training nnd
qualities will be made the best use of.
The work of fitting out the 3,000 mem
bers of the national guard nt Camp Mc
Klnley with now shoes has progressed well
toward completion. The array shoes can
not be secured yet and a contract was made
for footgear of solid structure and with
broad toes for Immediate use. General By
ers has no Intention of permitting the sol
diers to develop corns and sore feet by drillIng -
Ing In the narrow-toed shoes which mnny of
them wore from home. Camp life and long
marches are hard on shoes and many pairs
were wearing out. The shoes were Issued
by Colonel King and his assistants. The
men were marched Into the quartermaster's
building by companies , seated In squads of
twelve and told to flt themselves with shoes
from the convenient piles. The fitting was
done on the largest foot , and when a soldier
had equipped himself with
ono shoo It was
assumed that the other would flt and he
was marched back to quarters wearing one
now nnd ono old shoe nnd carrying the
same assortment. New blankets have been
Issued to men who were unprovided.

Ulir Six-Story HlocU.
CLEVELAND , O. , May 6. The big six-
story brick block at the southwest corner of
Dank and Lake streets was destroyed by
fire early today. The northern half of the
building was owned by the Dradley estate
and tbo southern part by the Hoot & Mc-
Drldn Co. , wholesale dry goods. The fire
was confined to the former , but the stock
of the Root & McDrtdc company was de
stroyed by water and smoke. The total loss
will amount to about $125,000 , fairly well
covered by Insurance. The flre resulted from
an explosion of chemicals In Deinan's chewIng -
Ing gum factory , on the fifth floor of the
Dradley end of the building. Nearly a dozen
manufacturing concerns , occupying the sev
eral floors , suffered losses ranging from
$5,000 to $25,000.

Plre broke out In the large storeroom of

tained only the sweepings of yesterday.
Three of the employes slept In the store nntf
one of them right above the location of the
fire. The stock was groceries and general
merchandise and all of It Is half a loss at
the very least , while some of It Is a total
loss. The stock was covered by $18,000 In-
