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

The board spent a considerable portion o
the morning session discussing a now schedule

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

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

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.

D13S M01NES , Feb. 2. ( 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

motion carried and the clerk was ntoppei
while Clarke availed himself of the tei
minutes allowed to close the debate.

THE BALLOON-By Jtilien Dupre.
The subject treats of n group of peasants In the harvest-Held. The peas
ants have'spent ' the morning raking nnd slacking hay , the sun Is at its zenith ,
not a breath of. air is ntliTiug , you can almost hear the bees as they bu/.y. from
( lower to flower , and away off In the distance Is seen a balloon limiting ma
jestically in thu clear , blue. sky. Kvidcntly the villagers are holding their
country fair , and a balloon ascension Is one of ( lie features. The group con
sisting of ( lie peasant and his family are In the picturesque costume of ( ho
country. They have all stopped work and stand with their rakes In their
hands 'gazing intently at the distant balloon. Wonder , a wo and admiration
are blended In their expressive faces , and revealed In Ilielr attitudes. The
subject has been treated with those soft , mellow lints which Its artist knows
so well how to paint , and recalls to the mind many just such Incidents In our
childhood life. H Is Justly popular , both on account of Us artistic quality and
deep human interest with which it has been clothed.
