TRYING TO FIX A TAX LEVY
Pr.nolpil Matter Up Before tha Board of
County Superstore ,
REVENUES ARE MATERIALLY DECREASED
lv\y for the City of Council HliilTa
Muni 11 Incrcnncd In Order to
Meet thr Dcinnnd of the
School Dlxtrlcl.
The principal matter before the county
supervisors at their present session Is the
flxlng of the tax levy for 1899. No action
was taken by the board yesterday , although
the matter was Informally dlscuuied and
some figuring done. The board Is confronted - ,
fronted with the fact that owing to the
new method of assessment In vogue this
year , the revenues to run the county next
jear will bo materially decreased. It win
not bo possible to Increase the regular
county tax levy over last year aa the levy
was up to the legal limit. In order to
meet , however , the amount required by the
echooT district of Council Bluffs , this levy
will have to be Increased.
From nn estimate made yesterday by
County Auditor Innea and which will form
the basis on which the board will fix the
levy , It will takT H.75 mills on the dollar
lar to raise the necessary revenues so far
a the city of Council Bluffs Is concerned.
This will be made up as follows , regular
city levy. 41-5 mills ; regular county levy ,
( lews bridge levy ) , 12.25 ; school levy , 27 5.
The regular county levy last year was 1B.75
and It will be the same for 1899. In the
case of Council Bluffs , however , there will
be no county bridge levy , as the city takes
care of Its own bridges nnd a three-mill
levy Is already provided for.
The amount needed for the schools ot
the Council Bluffs district for 1899 Is $92,000
as against $81,000 last year. This , owing to
I the decreased valuation , will require n levy
j of 27.5 mills against 23.5 mills last year.
The appointment of an overseer of the
poor for Kane township resulted In the
election of George T. Miller , who has been
Oiling the office since the death of T. C.
Jackson. The other applicants were C. Wes-
j ley , Dr. Cordon , Daniel McKenzle , jr. ,
I Thomas Johnson , B. A. Bonham nnd Qeorgo
Halncs. Miller was also reappolntod sol
diers' relief commissioner , his salary aa
such being fixed at $100 C. H. Norton and
II. B. Wilson were also rcappolnted com
missioners at Avoca , their salary being fixed
nt $50. The reports of the commissioners
for the year ending September 1 show d
that $2,350 had been distributed among the
old soldiers In this township and $240 at
Avoca.
C. Wesley , one of the applicants for the
position of overseer of the poor , attached
to his application several sheets ot closely
typewritten matter headed V. Wesley on
the Money Question In 189B , " and a note
appended stating a perusal by tAc boa-d ot
the above would show It that he was In
favor of a gold standard nnd therefore
worthy of the appointment. A number of
bridge matters occupied part of the afternoon
session. The board is expected to tackle the
tax levy matter today.

DBS MOINES , Sept. B. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Today was the hottest day of the
jear , the government thermometer going to
09 degrees and most of the private ther
mometers to 104. Itas also tlio hottest
day ever recorded hero during September ,
us well na being 4 degrece hotter than any
day this summer. Director Sago of the
low a weather and crop service said the
day would have a bad effect on late corn ,
and especially In southern Iowa , v > hcro the
corn la now all late because of the long
wet epcll In the spring.
The weekly summary of the Iowa
weather and crop service Issued this after
noon says :
The Inst week has boon the hottest of the
season w 1th the greatest amount of sun-
shluo and the lowest percentage of humld-
I Hy. At the central station the mean tern-
' poraturo was 78 degrees and the average
dally excess 'vas over 10 degrees. Showers
were reported In the north , central nnd
northeast districts , but no rain fell In the
larger part of the elate. The weather con
ditions were favorable for forcing the mat
urity of early planted corn and more than
one-half the crop la now In fit condition to
[ bo cut and shocked. Late corn needs more
I rain for Its normal development nnd reports
Indicate that In many localities It has been
I "fired" by excessive heat. Rain Is also
j needed to facilitate fall plowing and for
, pasturage and late vegetables. Winter ap
ples have suffered to some extent from ef
fects of excessive heat and dry weather.
Good progress has been made In threshing

IVdcrnl .InilKC Honor * Dlnnolvcn the
Injunction IKMIICI ! ) > > .IiidKP KOITC
of
LITTLE ROCK , Ark. , Sept. 5. Judge John
R. Rogers ot the federal court has deliv
ered nn opinion In tbo strike controversy at
Tort Smith Involving the question of state
and federal prerogatives. Ho decided that
the United States district court had Juris
diction over the action ot the state court In
Issuing nn Injunction retraining commer
cial companies from Importing miners and
restraining transportation companies from
transporting such miners Into Arkansas ,
and therefore dissolved the Injunction Issued
by Judge Rowe of the state court.
The opinion Is made up largely of the
sentiment of the authorities on the subject
of Interstate commerce law and the police
laws of the state. He said that while citi
zens were empowered to carry arms for their
common good , no state has n right to pro
hibit the citizens of another state from doIng -
Ing the same thing.
The petition for Injunction alleged that
the coal companies were In the act of Im
porting armed men of a low and lawless
character , but It failed to show In what
way they wore armed , or In what way they
were low and lawless.
A state has the right to prohibit the im
portation of convlote , lepers , Idiots and per
sons afflicted with contagious diseases , but
It has no right to prevent the Incoming of
men from other states , not within the
classes enumerated.
The fourteenth amendment to the con
stitution of the United States guaranteed
equal protection to all , and under that
amendment persons had a perfect right to
go from one state Into another in the pur
suit of employment , and It was not within
the power of a state to stop them DO long
as they did not belong to the Interdicted
class 03.
