AB soon as over the frost is out of the
ground the Chicago & Northwestern Hall
way company will commence the work of
getting ready to double track Its line from
Council Bluffs to Tama City , to which point
the laying of the double track has been
completed from the east. Winston Broth
ers of Minneapolis have the contract for the
grading and representatives of the firm ar
rived Friday to look the ground over and
make arrangements for commencing the
work ns soon as conditions ore favorable.
In the party arc H. T. Winston of St.

lund , Q. N , Remington and T. J , Frederick ,
all of Minneapolis.
The second track le to be laid on the
oiwrt side of the present track and between
Council Bluffs and Missouri Valley will
necessitate cutting through the bluffs. The
dirt taken from the bluffs will bo used for
grade. The grade Is very heavy in places ,
especially between Boone and Ogden.
Talking of the work In hand , Mr. Malley
said that he expected to push the grad
ing as rapidly as possible and hopes to
complete the grading to Missouri Valley
by August 1 at the latest. As soon as
the frost would be out of the ground ho
will put as many men at 'work ' as ho can
handle and push matters right along. He
hoa the contract only for the grading and
not for the laying of the rails.
The heaviest work will be along the DCS
Molnes river , where in places a grade of
sixty feet high will have to ibe made. Mr.
Malley expects to sublet most of the work ,
as la the custom In all large contracts.
He In unable to say -when the double track
will bo completed to Tama City and seems
doubtful that It will be finished this year.

I1MS FOR A Xir\V IIIO1I S
Hoard of Hdncatloii Denlilcn to Nuli-
in 11 the
- The Board of Education at the meeting
held last night for the 8peclal purpose of
considering the matter decided to submit
to the voters at the coming school election
the proposition of Issuing bonds for building
u now high school. This decision was ar
rived at after the board had listened to a
number of representative taxpayers , all of
whom expressed themselves as being of the
opinion that tlir present buirdlng did not
meet > tlio requirements ot the district and
that ix new bulling more centrally located
was an Imperative necessity. The motion
that carried was presented by Member
Stewart and was to the effect that a proposi
tion bo submitted authorizing the district to
Issue bonds In the sum of $65,000 , or as
much thereof as might bo necessary , for the
purchase of ground nnd the erection of a
high school building , the old building to bo
retained as a ward school and the now
building to bo located on as central B slto as
Uio board can obtain.
Stewart's motion was not altogether to
Member Sims' liking and ho moved as a
substitute the foTlowlng proposition : "Shall
the district bo authorized to Issue bonds In
the sum of $05,000 for erecting n. high school
building In a central location In the city ? "
His substitute was supported by Member
Henry , but the other members favored
Stewart's * proposition.
Before putting his motion Mr. Stewart ex
pressed himself In favor of converting the
Washington avenue school building Into a
high school nnd building two now ward
schools to accommodate the pupils from that
building. At present there are over 700
children attending the Washington avenue
school and this he considered too mnny. Ho
bcHoved the district could save at least
$20,000 by his plan. This suggestion , however -
over , did not meet with favor by any of the
obhcr members and he did not press It. ,
President Tliomns said that under no cir
cumstances would ho vote to erect the new
high school en the present site , but did be
lieve that ( the old building should bo re
tained as a ward school to accommodate the
overflow from the other buildings , which
each year are becoming more crowded.
Member Cooper also expressed himself as
opposed to putting the new high school on
the old site , but believed that a new bulfd-
ing could bo oreotcd for $10,000 , and in sup
port of his assertion referred to the Wash
ington avenue building of sixteen rooms ,
which had boon built for that sum.
Mr. Sims said be believed that the chotco
of the site of the new building should bo
left to the people to decldo and that two
propositions should be submitted , one for
the Issuance of the bonds and the other
whether the building should bo erected on
the old or a new slto.
A number of representative citizens were
present at Uie meeting nnd they were unani
mous in their opinion that a new High
school was a necessity nnd that the people
at largo were lu favor of the proposition.
They all expressed themselves as certain
that the proposition would carry by an
overyhclmlng majority.
Hon. Lucius Wells , who said he felt sure
he was voicing the sentiments of nine out of
every ten taxpayers In the city , believed
tfiot the new High school should be erected
In n more central location than the present
site and that It should be built on level
ground and not on the top of a hill. Ho
urged the board to take action nnd not delay -
lay the matter any longer.
Dr. Barstow bald the present location of
the High school was dangerous to the health
I of the pupils attending and urged that the
now building bo erected In a location that
could bo reached by the largest number of
Qupils with the least trouble. He referred
to a number ot cases where young women
had been compelled to quit the High school ,
owing to their health being impaired by
the long climb up the high hill and steps
to the present building. The present site
was , In his opinion , a splendid one for an
observatory for the study of astronomy , but
not for a high school. C. E. Sw.ilno and
others spoke In the same strain , all urging
that the new building be erected on a level
and more central site.
O. P. Wlokham expressed the opinion that
the present site could bo graded down some
forty feet at n less expense than It would
cost to purchase a new site. He based this
opinion upon the assumption that the Rock
| Island would require dirt for filling its yards
and would be glad to get the material from
the High school hill. The site could bo
graded , ho thought , for about $8,000.

Creston Gazette : The friends of Judge
Thomas M. Fee of Centervllle , In the Second
Judicial district , have formally announced
his candidacy for the republican nomination
for Judge of the supreme court. Judge Fee
la a capable man who has had long experi
ence on the bench , a d there can be no ques
tion of his qualification for the seat to which
ho Qsplrca or his availability as a candidate.
Ho will bo likely to have a strong suport in
the Eighth congressional district and become
a formidable , although not agg'resslve , can
didate.
Sioux City Tribune : The State Board of
Control has stopped the custom of providing
free meals for visitors to the state institu
tions. John Cownle of the board says he
knows of one instance where a visitor to
the Soldier's Home at Marshalltown lived
there four months at the state's expense
and another where a whole family "visited"
for a week the reform eohool ot Eldora ,
where a member of the family is confined.
While these are extreme cases , there has
been a great abuse of the free meal system
and the board has very properly abolished
the whole thing.
Des Stolnes Register : The Keosauqua Re
publican announces that Judge Robert Sloan
of the Second judicial district has decided
to bo a candidate for this year's republican
nomination for supreme Judge. He is one
of the leading lawyers and Jurists of the
state , having practiced in and presided over
courts of the Second district for over a third
ot a century. His Judicial character and
strenglh were early recognized by his elec
tion in 1868 as circuit Judge In the first
circuit of the Second district. Ho filled that
position for twelve years and then returned
to practice , but was elected district Judge
in 1894 and re-olectod In 1898. Ho has
thus had seventeen years of active experi
ence ns a Judge nnd the supreme court de
cisions prove how faithfully and efficiently
ho has administered the courts of his Juris
diction.
Walcrloo Reporter : The names of eight
learned men from different parts of the coun
try are suggested In connection with the
presidency of the Iowa State university nnd
it Is sold to bo more than probable that the
selection will bo made from this list. In
addition there are mentioned three well
known Iowa men Hon. S. M , Clark of
Keokuk , at present congressman from the
First district ; Dr. Beardshear of the Iowa
Agricultural college , and President II. H.
Seorley of the Normal school. The Re
porter would favor one of the three Iowa
men. It believes they arc as capable of
filling the position UH any of the others
mentioned and it also believes It is time to
equip Iowa Institutions with Iowa men when
It can be done without lessening the dignity
or standing of the institution.

Relief Society of Chicago Endorses
Paine's ' Celery Compound ,
The work of the average woman , -whether
she bo In charge of a household , where the
work Is always doing , but never done , or be
hind n counter , or In a schoolroom , Is of a
sort that rarely leaves her with strength
or Inclination for anything else.
The strain upon most women's nerves , is
so great that a breakdown stares many of
them constantly in the face , which means
loss of work , doctor's bills and discourage
ment.
Ono of the earliest nnd one of the most
Infallible Indications of falling nervous
strength Is the Inability to sleep soundly.
No fact Is more clearly established than
that sleep repairs the tired nervous tissues
and that the loss of sleep deranges the health
more quickly and more seriously than any
othdr privation the body can suffer. The
great effort , then , of every poor sleeper
should bo to strengthen the nerves. The
fact that hundreds of men and women In
every community have been cured ot Insom
nia by Palne's celery compound tells Its own
story of the invigorating effect of thjs won
derful remedy , not only upon the nerves ,
but upon the entire nervous system.
Physicians prescribe Palne's celery com
pound where the nerves have leeomo so ex
hausted that not only sleep but digestion Is
interfered with. Its immediate Invigorating
effort In such cases Is shown from the fol
lowing letter from Mrs. Fannln West , presi
dent cf the South Side Relief society of Chi
cago. The letter Is doted December 12 , 1898 :
"Wo feel very glad lo acknowledge tha
line qualities of Palna's celery compound.
It is the best remedy wo know of for
building up the nervous system. Our doc
tors prescribe It , and It always gives imme
diate relief. "
Back of nervousness , sleeplessness and
many of the peculiar ailments of women Is
poverty ot the blood. Paleness , thinness ot
btnly and weakness are evidences of poor
blood. In some cases palpitation of the
heart Is complained of , and when the poverty
Is greatest , the lips are pallid and the tongue
almost colorless.
In these cases of anaemia It Palno's celery
compound is used the gain from day to day
Is plainly noticeable. Its tonic effect In re
newing the blood und restoring the strength
has 'been little short ot miraculous In cases
of extreme emaciation nnd pervous prostra
tion.
If a woman feels that she Is losing ground
In weight and strength she should set about
Increasing the blood supply at once with the
aid of Palno's celery compound.
Glvo this greatest of nil remedies a trial.
