rifiifiiil Plan for ( lie .Structure.
The Hoard of education has practically
decided what sort of a new High school
building It wants , and the architect * will
submit drawings In accordance at the meetj
Ing of the board tonight. The general plan
may. however , he altered or modified ac
cording to thp site tint may be selected.
The building that the board has In view
will bo two stories high , with a large ,
roomy basement. It will have a frontage
of about Ibu feet and extend back about
! ISO feet. A building of tills size. It Is agreed ,
will require a Bite of not less than 200 feet
square , although pno of SOO feet would be
preferable. No money will bo wasted on i
fancy architecture , tout the building will be >
a plain and substantial affair. The walls ,
according to the present plans , are to beef
of buff pressed brick. The plainness of the >
exterior will tie relieved 'by ' a somewhat t
ornate entranco. Kvory room will bo well I
lighted. The basement Is to bo so arranged I
I as to provide an excellent drill hall and I
| armory for the cadets. The assembly room ,
which la to have a seating capacity of 800 ,
will be on the main lloor , and will have
a good-sized stage. This will ho In the !
center of the building and have a roof of
glass. The gallery will be accessible from
the corrldoi on the second lloor.
The building will contain twenty-four
rooms. Including the assembly hall , a room
for the superintendent , another for the prin
cipal and one In which the Board of Educa
tion will hold Its meetings. The corridors
will bo wide and well llehted. There will
bo at least four stairways , wld e and easy
, of access.
j All things being equal , the majority of
I the members of the board are strongl } In
'
, favor of employing a local architect. This
has been the practice heretofore and they
eay the results have always been most sat
isfactory.

When the city council convened In nd-
| journud regular session Monday night the
council chamber was filled by a largo crowd
of residents of the southern part of the city ,
who wore there for the purpose of protesting 1
against the pasoage of the ordinance pre
sented by the Chicago , Hock Island & Pa-
clflo Railway company , providing for the
vacating of South Sixth street across the
company's trucks. The protesting cltlrens
wore united for a determined opposition to
the ordinance and were represented by coun L.
sel The ordinance , however , was In the
hands of the committee of the whole , -which
was not prepared to make a report , so it
was decided to hold a meeting of the com ,
mittee tomorrow night , when all persons op ,
posed to It will be given nn opportunity to
present their protests cither In person or
by counsel. The committee also arranged
to go over the ground Wednesday morning
The ordinance In question provides for the
vacating by the city of that pnrt of Sixth
street where the railroad's tracks cross In
return for the Rock Island opening Suvautb
street , the title to which Is In dispute and (
a case now pending before the supreme
oouit. The objectors claim that the change ;
will not bo desirable and that It will b ,0 ,
better In any event to await the outcome ol
the suit now pending. The residents south
of the railroad tracks who are opposed to :
the measure say , however , that they will
withdraw their objections provided the Uock
Island will agree to erect n viaduct on Sixth
street across Its tracks whenever ordered
to do so by the city council.
On thn appropriation ordinance coming UF
for Its final reading and passage , Alderman
Chrlstunsen , as chairman of the .committee .
on police and health , wanted It amended sc
that the appropriation for city buildings be
Increased from $500 to $1,000. In explana
tion , ho said the cost of making the neces

nnd further , It was absolutely necessary that
such Improvements bo carried out. as thai
portion of the jail was Infested with verrolr
and unlit to place any person In. Alderman
IIrough considered $1.000 was too niuoh , ami
he amended Chrlstensen's motion by making
It $ $00. The amendment carried , ami wltli :

THE BEE WHEEL CONTESTS
The More ( lull KnU-r ( lie Contend ) ,
the KiiNler llio Wlu-cli * Will
Ho Won.
Every boy and girl will want to rldo n
wheel this spring nnd The Bee Is going to
give > ou a chance to get ono In n very
simple way. What Is more , It Is going to
lot you pick out any make wheel you want ,
for It k'xows jou nil want n certain make ,
"which Is the only make on earth. "
Now let us toll you'how The Bee Is going
to give the wheels away. We want a lot of
now subscribers to The B c In Council
Iliufla As HOOU as the Urn I 300 orders have
baeu handed Into our office , the first con
test closes and we will award the wheel to
the one bringing the most orders out of
this 300. Then Contest No. 1 closes and Con
test No. 2 opens on the next 800 orders.
Just see how easy this Is. Say only thirty
girls and bojs start out on Mai oh 1 to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total , so the winner will
not have to get very many orders , you see.
You want to start In early and hand In your
orders as soon as poraibte.
Now about the orders Each order must
be for an actual new Council Bluffs sub
scriber. Each subscriber must take The Bee
for nt least three weeks und pay for It In
order to bo counted. It Is better , but not
necessary , to pay In advance , only no order
will be counted until the subscription Is
paid for. If the subscription is paid tor In
advance It will count one. on your score for
each three weeks for wnlch It Is prepaid.
For example : If a subscriber pays in ad
vance for six weeks , It counts two ; If ho
pays for twelve weeks , It will count four ;
1 If he pajs for one vear , It will count seven
teen. On orders which nro not paid in ad
vance it will count only one on your score
no matter how long he continues to take It.
There , that Is plain. Isn't .it ? Now see
what you can do. The first contest begins
March 1. Sincerely yours.

DHS MOINDS. March 27. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The ministers of Des Molnra nro
nn crusade against the satoona of Iowa.
They expressed Ihcmsolvos this morning ns
bring decidedly with II 11. Abrams of Iho
Anil-Saloon league In his recent movement '
to provo the operators under the present
mulct law violating the law ns It actually
exists. It will bo remembered that another ,
saloon league of the state n few days ago
begun proceedings against the snloona ot
Iowa on the grounds that they wcro operatIng - i
Ing conttary to the provisions of Iho Martin ]
mulct law In that the law under which
they wore granted the privilege of conductIng -
Ing a saloon hnd been changed and that the
saloon keepers had not conformed thereto.
' The Anti-Saloon league ha * begun action
against n number of the saloons ot Iowa on
these grounds and the matter U now lieforo
the supreme court Argument will be heard
some time In May nnd a decision will have
i been reached In September. In the mean- |
| Umo the league proposes to bring action
' against every drug store and saloon In the |
state compelling them to shut their doors '
at once.
There Is only ono course for the dispens
ers ot liquor to pursue and that Is to cir
culate a new petition. In case they do this ,
there will be an effort on the part of the
ministers to secure It and publish the names
of every one signing. This was made In
the form of a motion and unanimously
adopted at the meeting this morning. The | 1
method to bo employed In the publishing
' of names will ibe that of the character of,1 ,
small IcafleU , Instead of the dally papers.
These are to bo distributed about the city
with the names of those signing attached.
The anti-saloon movement seems destined
to become famous.
Word from Lieutenant Harry Wllklns ,
U. S. A. , was received today that ho had
been ordered to Camp Meade , Pa. , for un
