J. Stewart , providing that the old building should bo retained as a ward school , was not to the liking of a great number of voters. When this uestion was brought up J > y ono of the women present Jacob Sims explained that the rider should not , In his opinion , militate against the carrying of the proposition to vote the bonds.

The meeting was largely attended by the representative women of the city and It was Tory evident that they were In favor of the new High school project. Mrs. E. C. Smith , president of the Council Bluffs Woman's club , acted as chairman and short speeches were made by Dr. Barstow , Superintendent Ilaydeu and Members Sims and Moore of the Board of Education.

The saloonkeepers throughout the clt ; who are compelled to pay a heavy license t < do business feel that they are getting thi worst of It since Mayor Jennings becami Imbued with a necessity for reforming thi city morals. They point to the fact tha the gambling houses run wide open all da ; ami all night , the only consideration ot their part being that they pay into tbo clt ; treasurer every month J100 each. This sun Is not to be collected as n license , but It I : taken In every month as "forfeited ball , ' after Chief Blxby or one of his deputy mar shalu has gone through the form of plac > ing the gambling house proprietor under ar rest for maintaining a disorderly house. Tin saloon men nay that their business Is Iiv jured by having to close their places a midnight , but they would not object If thi mayor would carry his reform movement t llttlo further and close the gambling house ! at the same hour , If ho Is unwilling , desplt < the protests of the respectable element , t ( close them up altogether , as the law pro > vldes he shall.

Burnham as a candidate for the republican nomination lor supreme judge. This brings Into the field one of the ablest and strongest district judges of the state. Ho was elected judge of the Seventeenth judicial district in 1SOI and re-elected In 1S98 , and by his un- iiHiial strength as a lawyer and judge has gained reputation and prominence through out the stato. Kookuk Gate City : Three years ago an Iowa farmer near Osceola purchased thirty head of sheep on time. Since then he has cleared $2,000 from the sale of sheep and wool and has 100 sheep , worth $ "iOO or more , still on hand. Such results as these would not have been possible If wool had remained on the free list , as It would had the dem ocratic party been continued In power. It would be well for the sheep raisers of Iowa and the country generally to keep In mind the fact that that party Is pledged to take the duty off wool If It comes in power again. \tlantic Telegraph : There is no question about Governor Shaw being his own successor ser and there are not likely to bo any rival candidates before the republican convention for his place. Ho has made a good governor and his ability is recognized throughout the country. He has filled the ofllce to his own credit and the honor of the slate and the people want another term of the same kind of administration. Ho has made an envia ble reputation of being able to attend to his own business and faithfully discharge his duties ns governor without poking his finger Into pvery little political contest ho may hear of In different Jmrts of the stale. Hed Oak Express : No doubt the Hoard of Control has made some mistakes In the first six months of Its existence. It would bo more than human If It had not. Itri econ omics In a few Instances may have been misdirected. Hut aside from nil this , II has inndo n great record nnd has fully Justified the wisdom of Its creation. It has snvrd the people of the state nearly $100,000 In six months nnd It Is safe to say that the deio- lletlons under Us management have been no greater than under the old system. That the board will profit by the expctlenco It gains rniinol be doubted nnd there Is every reason to hope that It will save still larger sums for the people In HIP year to coino. It Is also reasonable to bellove that It will cor rect any little * abuse or fnlso economy that may necessarily linvo existed In the experi mental stages. Taken altogether , how ever , the record of the board bus been n gre \ tone one nnd baa oven nuriiiFFfd the anticipa tions of Its friends. The only discordant notes In the almost universal praise nrntruYd Its work comes from Interested parties In towns where state Institution ; ) nrp located Hut np these Institutions belong to the pro- pic of Iowa , and not to any town or i-ountv , these protests will cut little figure. DCS Molncs News : The election of a United States senator to succeed Senator Gear Is of Interest to the News only as It Is of Interest to the pp'plp of Iowa who arc not politicians. This newspaper docs not presume to enter Into the controversy which Is engaging thp attention of republican ed itors and parly workers. It can view the struggle dispassionately and from the po'ut of view of an unprejudiced observer , and that will doubtless lie Its attitude through out. The Rootio News believes that Senator Gear Is not a candidate for re-plectlon. We think the News Is mistaken nnd that If Sen ator Gear's health continues good he will bo very much In evidence In the campaign Other newspaper * profess to believe that Senator Gear's ngo will be n barrier to his re-clcctlou. The News believes that his ago will operate In his favor. Although Mr. Cummins is the only pronounced candldulo for the senatorshlp contesting with the sen ator for the place , it Is a well known fat that there arc really a dozen candidates who have their eyes on the senatorshlp. Ml these candidates would prefer to see Gear re-elected than that a younger mnn should Hocuro the plum. They do not want a man In the prime of life to enter upon a life lease In the senate. They know this Is Sen ator Gear's last chnnco and believe their opportunities would bo Improved by his re election. Mr. Cummins will have a strong personal following and will make n gallant fight for the high honor for which he IB well fitted by his ability and party service. Gov ernor Shaw , while not n candidate , Is looked upon by many as the residuary legalee of the Gear forces. Still others bellove that Mr. Hepburn will succeed to Senator Gear's following , though Mr. DolllVer would doubt less prove the more popular candidate. All In all , If Senator Gear should continue to exhibit rugged health It may be taken for granted that he will bo the strongest candi date In the field. MRS. CODY UPHOLDS CHARGES CiiiitM'riiliiw .MIcKfil Knrly iiKc of .lay Ciiulil Itrdteil by tin * Defendant. ALBANY , N. Y. , March 7. At the opening of the court today In the trial of Mrs. Mar garet K. Cody , charged with attempting to blackmail the heirs of Jay Gould , the de fendant was called to the stand. She was asked to Identify a number of letters written to her from Rock Springs , Wyo. , by Mrs. J. F. Pierce , the alleged daughter of .liiy Gould and Mrs. Angell and from Mrs. Plcrce's husband. The letters assorted positively that Jay Gould was Mrs. Plerce's father and announced the Intention of the writer to press the suit to secure a share in the Oould estate. Mrs. Cody was offered a large sum , not stated , to take up and conduct the suit. Mrs. Cody related the circumstances con nected with her search for the mother of Mrs. Pierce. Having found Mrs. Angell In April. 1S93 , tha latter told her that Mrs. Pierce was her daughter by an early mar riage with Jason Gould , the date of which , she thought , -was April 2 , 1S53. "The Issue of this marriage , " continued Mrs. Cody , "Mrs. Angell told mo was a daughter which was bound out to a Cana dian weaver when 2 years old. Gould de serted his wife after a short time. I aske.l her If she had the marriage certificate whereupon she related that after Gould had left her and she had gone to live with her parents , her father had taken the certificate from her , torn it up and thrown it Into the flro. " The reading of letters addressed to Mrs. Cody was then resumed. One of these was from Rev. M. Lelghton , a Presbyterian clergyman of Tunkhaunock , Pa. , who , the defense alleged , performed the marrlago be tween Jay Gould and Mrs. Angell. In this letter the clergyman refers to the marriage and marriage certificate. An affidavit was read , signed by Mary Ann Shields , who swore that she was a servant In Mr. Lelghton's family in 1853 and that nhe was a witness to the marriage of Sarah Brown und Jay Gould on April 2 , 18H3 , who , she asserted , had lived together for BOIUO tlmo afterwards. Mrs. Cody then told of her Interview with Mrs. Mary Hoylo of Rouse's Point , who tos- It gains your favor instantane ously by reason of its high merits ana holds it with a firm grip.
