Of the issue TG5.000 of the ibonds Is to

Members Hess and Stewart and Superin
tendent Hoyden , comprising the committee '
on plans for the new high school , have held i
several informal meetings at which a num- j
bur of architects wore present and submitted
sketches. The committee has practically decided -
cided what sort of a building they are in
laver of and will make a report at the
meeting of the Board of Education tomor
row evening. At this meeting the architects
who are in the field to secure the work will
submit drawings. So far one local firm of
architects , two from Omaha and one from
DeB Moines are in competition for the work.
In discussing the selection of a site yester
day n member of the board stated that he
and his colleagues , as far as ho knew , were
not In favor of spending more than ? 10.000
in the purchase of ground. "We have only
Jtio.OOO In all to spare. " he tmljL "and wo
necessarily need as much of thlt as possible
to erect the building nnd then to equip it In
the manner It should be. I for one am
strongly opposed to ipaying any fancy price
for u location nnd the cost will go a great
way with me when It comes to making a
choice from the different sites offered. "When
It becomes known that a public body or a
corporation of any kind needs a certain piece
of property the owners are nine times out of
ten inclined to boom the prices , but In this
case they will find such n plan will not work ,
as I believe the 'board ' Is unanimous on
spending as little of the $05,000 as possible
on a site. It will take quite a respectable
Bum of money to properly equip the school
nnd the board must in consequence be eco
nomical in the expenditure of the $63,000. "

STORAGE JIATTISIUES TO HE llbEll.
I'ropoKcd f'liaiitriIn tlie Fire Alnrro
Sjfctrm 1 IlfiiiK J'lunix-il.
City Electrician Bradley Is planning a
complete change in the fire alarm eynieia
which will be carried out If the city council
puhse * . the iiL-ci-ssiiry appropriation of $1,20.1.
usked for toy Chairman Atkins cf the com
mittee oil fire und light. Tbe proponed plan ,
it is said , will effect u large annual saving
In the expense of operating and maintain
ing tlit lire alarm services.
The change contemplates the substitution
of storage for the present gravity batteries ,
in which the electricity is generated by the
action of chemical * , . The maintenance of
gravity ibatteries lias always been n costly
item In the city's expense. For the past
fiscal year the cost of the necesary chemi
cals exceeded $250 , and In addition the cure
and renonal of the batteries entailed a
large amount of work as well us expense.
This expense , it JB claimed , under the plan
of using Btorage batteries , will be almost
entirely dune uway with. As the name ,
"storage aiattories , " implies , they are simply
used for the storage of electricity generated
in tlilt > case ( by n dynamo. The system of
alarms employ * ! by the fire department will
UBceHsltntt ) the use of 180 batteries , and to
fill them nnd keep thorn in proper condition
Electrician Bradley estimates it will require
from one-tenth to live-eights of nn ampere
for each charge , or from thirty to thirty-
five horse-power per month.
The coat of thl * > amount of electricity if
paid for at commercial rules would be not
morn than $30 per year , but it IB understood
that if the city adopts thle now system It
w ill be furnlEhi > d free of coet. This being
the case almost the whole of the present
cflBt of operating the lire alarm system ,
with the exception of the city electrician's
salary , would be saved.
The new batteries ready for tise would
onst ri.l'ofi , and in five years It IE claimed
the saving would be sufficient to jiuj for
them.

RT. LOUIS , Mo. , March 26. The Western
Wholesale Druggists' association , uliich hus
been In session here , has taken action that
may cause a war between the wholesale
druggists of the west and those retail stores
thut cut rates on patent medicines.
The manufacturers and Jobbers will make
an effort this week to have all patent medi
cines and preparations sold at the prices
"stipulated on the package. It has been de-
cied to cut off the sources of supply in
the trade to department stores nnd drug
stores that sell for less than the marked
prices. The Wholesale Druggists' associa
tion nnd the Retail Druggists' association
! are determined , it is said , to make a united
fctand. They claim to have full control of
tlie sources of supply and will compel tiie
j cutters to accept the terms or go out of
> business In the contest Nome years ago
these organizations were unsuccessful , but
they are Bunrowd to be better organized
now nnd able to control the supplies. As
a result of the action of the Western
Wholesale association the druggists who
have been cutting prices are laying in large
stocks.

SIOUX Crnr , March 2C. ( Special. ) A
good deal of apprehension appears to exist
In towns along the Missouri river this year
regarding the break-up of the Ico. It Is
feared that .there will he a Jlood when the
rush of Ice really begins to come down the
river. Visions of the terrible disasters of
18KO still linger In the memories of the res
idents along the river and some arc keeping
a pretty close watch on the treacherous
stream.
The cause of the anxiety seems to be In
regard to the ice in the upper river country.
Up in Montana and Dakota , and even along
the James river country , there hat , not been
a very severe winter , although n good deal
of snow hus fallen. Tlie lee is hald to be
only about eight Inches In thickness at the
other end of the stream , while in Sioux City
nnd vicinity It ranges from eighteen to
tnentj-llvc inches , 'in thickness. It has been
\-ery cold In this part of the country during
the winter months. At Pierre , S. D. , In the
last week the river Is said to have risen two
feet owing to snow melting in the mountains
und in South Dakota.
So far the ice Is stationary , but n break
up must corno ere long. The ice being so
thick at this point and for several miles
north , it Is hardly possible that a breakup
can come until long after the upper river
Ice liegins to tumble along toward the lower
river country. It is feared that this will
result In some serious ice gorges gorges
are what caute the floods along the Missouri
river. Walls of Ice twenty feet In height
have been known ev.en at Sioux City. They
have "been " worse , if anything , further up the
river.
Portlier riooclo.
It was In the flood of 1SRO that practically
the whole town of Vermilion , S. D. , was
washed away and that year men had to go
out in bouts from Sioux City and vicinity
to take food and clothing to people who had '
sought safety on some high ground and had
become surrounded by water. All of the
liottom landb were flooded and great damage
was done. Since that time Vermilion hnb
been rebuilt on the high ground and far
above any possibility of un occurrence of the
disaster of 1S80.
The same year Sioux City was flooded. The
wuter came up along the "business streets of
the city and men went from house to house
and from store to store In skiffs. All this
time the ice was rushing along and piling up
at the different gorget along the river. One
day a little church came floating down the
river , right side up and the bell tolling its
requiem in the tower. Many other build
ings came down the river and it was a com
mon sight to see an animal on an Ice floe
and unable to swim to the shore. Some
lives were lost , but the greatest damage
was to propertj- . Finally the big gorge near
Vermilion brokeanil ] the waters * were re
leased only to ndd to that already washing
from bank to bank along the river bottom.
It 'was ' the worst flood known In the history
of the Missouri river country. Now there
are a number of bridges across the river ,
but It is not thought they will cause gorges.
But the people will rest easier when they see
the last cuke of ice pass by.
