BAILIFF TANGLE UNSETTLED Board of Supervisors Will Not Bo QoTornecl by Action of Court. DECLINES TO RECEDE FROM ITS POSITION Thorncll nixcUNien Mutter M Illi rt iNorn reternon U'llt Inxlst I lion Iteceltlnur ! ' > lit I'er- inniieiil Hal 1111. The Hoard of County Supervisors ad- loiirned yesterday afternoon until March 6 without taking any action looking toward a eettloment of the question affecting the pay of the district court and grand Jury bailiffs. At the morning session Judge Thorncll called on the board and discussed the mat ter with the supervisors. Ho told them that In Issuing the order making the appoint ment of the two bailiffs permanent he was ictlng for the bc t Interests of the county. He was also of the opinion that such of- Icers wcro needed , but he was unaware that , aa claimed by the supervisors , there was any agreement between the board and Sher iff Cousins that the grand jury ballff | should be paid only for such time ae the grand jury was actually In session. The members of the board told the judge that while they had no desire to oppose the order of the court , they wcro of the opinion that there was no need for the aervlccs of Bailiff Peterson , except at euch times as the grand Jury was In session. After Judge Thornell retired the board decided to stand by Its original action and declined to re cede from Its position. I'etei-Noii Will Ho in mill I'n.v. Sheriff Couslr\s was in Avoca yesterday and It could not be learned whether ho hail entered Into any agreement with the boanl whereby the bailiff of the grand jury wat to receive pay for such time only as thai body was In session. Bailiff Peterson say * ho h"ad never been notified of such an ar rangement and will Insist on receiving pay as n permanent attache of the court. He will rely on Judge Thornell making him permanent officer. The rules , of practice of the Fifteenth ju dicial district , adopted by the judges Angus ! 3 , 1S97. allow the sheriff to have three bail iffs at all times at Council Bluffs and font when the grand jury Is in Beaton. Huh No. 8 , which covers this matter , is as fol lows : The sheriff shall , during the sessions ol the court at the various points In the ills' , tirlct , have the assistance of not to exceer the following1 number of bailiffs , viz : AI Council muffs , four when the grand jnrj la In session and three at other times. Ai all other points , three when the grand jurj Is In session and two at other tltncf. Coimlns Han Tuo DnlllffN. As it stands at present Sheriff Cousin : has only two balllffa , one In the dlstrlc court and one to attend to the grand jury and It is the salary of the latter that tin board seeks to confine to such time as thi grand jury Is in session. In the aheriff'i oillce It is claimed that there Is ample worl to keep two bailiffs busy all the time. The special committee appointed to effoc a settlement with ex-Sheriff Morgan fallei to make any report yesterday and none wll bo made until the. adjourned eession It March. The committee held a conferenci with Morgan yesterday afternoon , but dc cllned to make public the result. After the noon recess the board vlsltei the county burial ground , where certain 1m provementfi are said to be greatly needed TnK committee on poor was authorized ti expend not to exceed $50 in placing the roai In the cemetery In repair. The board passed a resolution to the effec that the county would not pay to exceed $1 for the burial of adult paupers and $10 fo children , these prices to Include full burla and digging of grave. Theee figures do no apply to Council Bluffs , where W. C. Este : has a contract for burying the pauper dead NC-AT Co ii trill ! I for 1'rllitliie. The board spent a considerable portion o the morning session discussing a now schedule ulo of prices for county printing and turn Ishlng of blank books submitted by the Nei Nonpareil company. The contract as awarde to the New Nonpareil company at the open Ing of the year was at the prices whlc governed the contract for the previous yeai This , however , appeared not to be satis factory to the local organ , and Manage Bender submitted a new schedule , whlcl after considerable discussion" , was acceptcc i Supervisor Matthews was the only one t [ ' vote against it. In the n6w schedule th 1 price of the assessors' books , which ha j been placed at $1.87l& , was cut down t $1.GO. Official ballots In lots of 18,000 an upward will cost the county $8 per 1,001 while the sample ballots In lots of I',000 an upward will cost $5 per 1,000. Auditor Inue ; when nekcd , stated that the prices In th new schedule were greater tlmn In the prc vlous one nt which the contract was orlgl ' nally awarded. * The bonds of the various banks wblc " I are on County Treasurer Arnd's bond c 1 $ ! iOO,000 were approved.

May He Coiiipelleil to Ilenellnl Action SeleetliiK ltl ll Seliool Site , Complications have arisen which may make It Impossible for the new High school building to be erected on the site recently selected by the Board of Education on First avenue. The site selected has a frontage of only IfiO feet on the avenue , while the building at present planned has a width of 162 feet , with two side en trances , which would require a passage way of nt least ten feet on each side. When the board selected this site , being the prop erty occupied by the Treynor and Doming residences , It calculated on acquiring either by purchase or condemnation about twenty- five or thirty feet of the Shugart propctty adjoining on the east. E. L. Shugart. the owner of this property , has , however , declared that he will not sell one foot of ground ami will resist the build ing of the High school there. His former residence , which Is now occupied as n family boarding bouse , stands at the corner of First avenue and Sixth street , and the erection of the High school Immediately west of It would render the property practically worthless. The Shugart residence Is a handsome brick and stone building nnd the damage to the property In general would have to be taken Into account should the School board pro ceed to acquire a portion of the lot on the west by condemnation. The property Is a valuable one ns it stands at present and appraisers would , It is con tended , place a value on It that the School board would be unable to pay In addition to the $10,500 , the sum naked for the Treynor and Demlng lots. It is not believed that the board will take any further action in the matter before the regular 'monthly meeting , Monday , February in , when the action selecting the First avenue site may bo rescinded. This , at least , Is the opinion of one of the members of the board who voted for tnls location. Member Stewart , who voted against the First avenue site and who stood by his vote on the Ballard property , Is of the same opinion. The feeling Is growing among the members that the best course to pursue will bo to let the matter rest until the school election , which takes place the second Monday In March , and give the voters au opportunity to express their preference. One of the members of the board , who nt first favored and voted for the Oakland avenue - enuo tract , expressed himself yesterday as being tired of the whole business nnd that It appeared to htm futile for the board to attempt to select any site , as objections oi some kind or another would be raised nc matter where they would locate the school. He said he was now In favor of building the school on the old site on Glen avenue and he believed that If this was urged the other members would accept this alterna tive. He was In favor , ho said , of expend ing what money it would cost to purchase a site plHowhcre In grading the old site nm ! then erecting a building that could bo to at any time when found necessary.

( Special Tclo- gram. ) Aa had been expected , the senate today turned down the nomination of Colonel II. H. Hood for the Hoard of Control appoint ment. Twcnty-ono votes wete cast against nls confirmation , twelve democrats and nine republicans. The republicans Include lloaly , Garst , Cheshire , Smith , Hopkins. Hub- bard , Craig , Crofsley and Klnch. Doltcr , democrat , was ulsent or he would have made the twenty-two votes predicted against his confirmation. Hall and Young were the only democrats who voted for Colonel Rood. The action was taken In executive session. There was no discussion. A majority report , favoring confirmation , signed by Ulancliard. Trewln and Young , was brought In by the nomination com mittee and n minority report against con firmation , signed by Lambert and Klnch. Persistent effort was made upon the part of the Hood people to delay consideration of the matter until next Tuesday , but It was defeated by the opposition and those who wished to get the matter settled at once. The house hus refused lo elect a state printer and binder. Hy a vote of f > 2 to 13 that body this morning turned down the resolution elution of the senate culling for n joint convention for thu purpose of electing a state printer and binder. The debate over the resolution covered the entire two hours of the morning session aim developed Into n bitter contest. It Is generally conceded that the defeat of the icsolutlon this morn ing Is a final victory for the opposition and that the abolition of the odlce Is only a question of time. The discussion was opened by the author of the amendment , who was strongly supported - | ported by Dlako of Webster. It wns held by Dyers of Shelby and Katon of Mitchell that the election at this time would not pre vent the abolishment nf the ofllccs later In the scfslon and that In deference to regu larity anil to pledges made In the republican caucus the election should bo made. Tem ple of Clark said that not only were the re- i publicans in duty bound to elect the men i named In their caucus , but that the abolish ment of the olTlccs wns not a necessity 01 would not prove a wise thing. Kl > fy Speech liy lllnko. In the most fiery epccch of the morning Blake of Webster , a member of the Investi gating committee , said : "What ban obligated this house to carrj out the wishes of any caucus ? Is this house the tool of any political organization ? An we partisans or arc we legislators ? I hp > lleve , gentlemen , that wo are not here t ( accept the dictates of any member or an ; caucus. If we elect printers and binders to day we make- coutni6t with them for twi yeare and are then morally bound. H is put ting the cart before the liorse to nil tin offices first and abolish them afterwards There are things of gjqntej- ; weight than Idea ' . ' " of 'regularity. The hour for the joint caucus had arrlvei and amid great excitement Prentlss o lUnggold moved the previous question. Thi motion carried and the clerk was ntoppei while Clarke availed himself of the tei minutes allowed to close the debate.
