The members of the Hoard of Kducatlou
who believe In the retention of the Ilnllard
Eltc for the now High ( school building will
contest the legality of the filing of the ap
peal of H. W. Hinder with County Superin
tendent McMunus on the ground that the
papers renclierl the hnnds of the latter after
the tlmo provided by law had expired. The
facts bf the case nrc , and there Is no dis
pute oil this point , that the papers In the
appeal did not reach the county superin
tendent until January 19 , when January 17
wan this last day for filing the same In order
to como within the thirty dayu * limitation.
Had Prof. McManus been at his ofllcc in
the court houoo on January 17 , the papers
would have been filed with him that day ,
but ho happened to bo In the country vla-
Itlng ticbools.
The attorney for Binder , falling to find the
county superintendent In his olllcc , gave the
pnpcrs to County Attorney Kllpack , with
the request that he hand them to tbo county
superintendent If ho met him In N'cola ,
whcro It was thought ho was at the time.
The county attorney consented to do so anil
took the papers that evening , January 17 ,
home with him to Neola , but failed to 11 nil
Prof.lc.laiHi.s , On his return to Council
Iluffs ! , January 19 , County Attorney Kll
pack handed the papers to the county super
intendent. At that tlmo Prof. McManus
endorsed the papers as having been filed
with him on January 16 , but later changed
the date to January 17 , the date they were
handed by Binder's attorney to Mr. Kll
pack.
J. J. Stewart , one ot the lawyer members
of the School Board and who voted for the
Dallard nlte , hns declared hl.s Intention of '
taking the position that the appeal was filed
too late and that therefore the county su
perintendent has no authority to entertain It.
In case Prof. McMnnus decides that he had
I the right to accept the papers as bclne
llled on the day on which they were taken
to his ofllce by the attorney for the appel
lant , which was January 17 , Mr. Stewart
says a protest will at once bo filed with
the state superintendent. .
The question will bo raised by the appel
lant whether In an office of the character
of the county superintendent , which Is not
kept open all the time , the mere presenta
tion of the papers even In 'the absence of
the county superintendent does not In fact
constitute a filing. The question will also
be raised as to whether the county superin
tendent has the authority to endorse the
papers as being filed on any date other
than that when they actually came Into his
hands.

The ruling of the supreme coilrt in the
collateral Inheritance tax case of the estate
of the late Frank C. Stewart of Carsou.i
who lelt a largo amount ot property In this
county , IB'of much Importance here , ns It
bears directly on a number of similar casee
that hnvo been hung up pcml'tig this deci
sion. The ca.ic , which was originally tried
before Judge Tliornell In the district court
hero was 'brought by John V. Ferry , et nl. ,
against S. C. Campbell , executor umler the
Stewart will , and John Hcrrlott , treasurer of
the state.
When County Attorney Saumlcrs , acting
for Pottawnttamle county undertook to col
lect the $2,500 duo to the state of Iowa from
this estate under the Inheritance tax , pay
ment was resisted on the ground that the
law was unconstitutional In that It did not
provide for proper notice to nil parties In
terested In the estate. ' This contention was
fliiAialned by Judge Tliornell , who held that
this defect made the law unconstitutional.
Subsequently the twenty-seventh general
assembly amended the law In IS'JS by Insert
ing n clause that provided for the proper
notice to all parties Interested.
The question raised before the supreme
court wns whether the law amended July
1 , 1898 , applied only to estates of dece
dents who died after the law was originally
enacted and before Its defect was remedied.
It wns contended that the ilwt law was
defective and consequently unconstitutional
nnd therefore not In force , and that the
amendment which cured the defect did not
go back of the time of Its enactment , but
applied only toxthoso estates of persons who
died slnco it bccnmo a law.
The supreme court 111 Its ruling held that
the law wan constitutional , having been
amended so as to provide for the proper
notlco to Interested parties nnd that the
amendment was retroactive. Bearing on this
point , the ruling of the court hi part is ns
follows :
"The act of the Twenty-sixth general
assembly was amended in the twenty-sev
enth and provision made for all parties.
H Is held by the attorney general that this
cured the defect In the first act and ns the
cu < so is triable do novo In this court- the
court has the power to modify the district
court's decree nnd hold' the property sub
ject to the tax. Fly section 2 of that act the
law was made retroactive nnd It is held that
the decree should too reversed in view of
the subsequent legislation. The supreme
court takes this view and sayw that so long
as an estate remains undistributed under the
11 ret act , the curative provisions of the hit
ter net apply to It. The supreme court may
consider the law ns It exists when it la
called upon to act. Applying this rule , the
lower court Is reversed and the estate held
liable for the tax. "
Among the estates which will be affected
by this ruling are those of John Lawsoti ,
M. I. Lockwood , Joel Katon , Matthias Engel ,
C. Miller , Leonora Jackson , Maren Petersen -
sen , Angelina R. Shugart , Solomon Meyer
and E. W. Gregory.

DES MOINKS , Jan. 23. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Ono ot the features of today's ses
sion of 'tho legislature was the Introduc
tion of the report of the committee on In
vestigation of the house , appointed to look
Into the prices charged by the stnto printer
and binder. The prices submitted were
compared with those secured by the Stale
Board ot Control , which body has iiuvcr
had HH printing done by the olllclal printer
or binder. These olllccrs have contended
that they were entitled to the work and
have refused to bid when solicited , with
ono exception. Upon this occasion the bid
from Iho state printer was $137. The suc
cessful bidder secured the work for $21.
In the case ot the state hinder It was shown
In the report that upon the one occasion
he put In n bid to the Board of Control ho
was $900 higher than the successful bidder.
The report was listened to with uncon
cealed astonishment by the members and
there HCCIIIH little question now but the fata
of these two offices is established. The re
port was referred to the committee on
printing.
In both houses today n bill was Intro
duced to legalize the election held here on
January 25 last for the purpose of author
izing the Board of Supervisors for the
county of Polk to buy n court house site ,
valued at $100,000 , on the bank of the Dea
Mollies river. There has been much litiga
tion here over this mauer and a bitter
strife carried on between the residents of
the. east and west sides of the river over
the removal of the court house from Its
present locution. The bill IntroduceJ to
day will become n law , enough members
having been pledged to Its support to war
rant this statement. This -will end all
trouble and will compel the construction
of the county building on the river front.

of the proposed new Anierleiiii IraRiie , who
tmstti'il through this elty today , en route
from Boston to I'lillndelplilu , said :
"I have been to Boston nnd 1'rovldenee
to get n line on the prospects of the
American usinrlutlon In those cities. In |
Boston 1 met with great eneiinniiTemeiil.
Matters In the Hub hnvo progressed most [
favorably. We are xolld as a rock there.
. ChnrloM Hlver park 1ms been leased nnd
! there are. several big moneyed men behind
I the scheme. McCarthy , the old ball player ,
will manage the club there. In 1'rovldenee
I did not find mutters Just as t desired.
In fact , 1 hardly think 1 ean Indneo the
people there to Join us. They feel like
clinging to the Kastorn league , owing to
the shorter circuit. I understand the
Providence club did not make much If
any inoi.ey last year and they feel a bit
timid about going Into any bigger league
under the circumstances.
"We have been handicapped In this city
by the dllllculty of securing ground * suit
ably located. We have not entirely given
up the Idea of getting- New York , however -
over , and .stranger things hnvo happohcd
than that we should locate here. It Is the
elty above all I should like to round up
thu circuit.
"With Providence out wo shall probably
try to secure Washington. This would
niiiko our circuit Washington. Philadel
phia and Baltimore in the east ; Chicago ,
St. Lonln , .Milwaukee and Detroit In the
west. If necessary we will go on with six
! clubs. The new organization is no dn-ain.
I as has been Insinuated. It Is nil actual
I and live fact. I shall hold several confer-
i ences In Phlladephla this week with nun
i of that city , Washington and Baltimore
and shall have everything arranged yn we
I can complete our organization at the meet-
I IIIK wy shall hold In New York next
