tendont of schools of Pottawattamlo county,
wants his orllco mado a aalarled one and has
submitted to tho Board of Supervisors a
proposition to that effect. The law pro
vides that county superintendents shall lie
paid $4 per day "while actually engaged In
tho performanco of their duties." The
county furnishes all stationery and supplies
, for tho olllco and bears nil expenses which
I tho county suporlntendent may Incur In
1 connoctlon with meetings called by tho stato
superintendent. Tho law nlso provides that
tho board may allow such further compen
sation as Is "deemed Just and proper." This
latter provision gives tho county super
visors a wide latitude In dealing with the
compensation question of tho county super
intendent. Suporlntendent McManus, In his proposl
I tlon to make; tho ofllco a regular salaried
one, suggests that tho compensation h?
placed at $2,000 per annum, ho (6 pay all help
and expenses except stationery and such ex
i pensew as may bo Incurred In connection
' with mcotlnRS colled by tho stato snnerln.
tondent. Prof. McManus, at tho session of
tho board yesterday, presented u bill for
$98.60 for expenses for the first threo
months of tho year. Among tho itwns were
$36 for livery hiro and $31 for otllco as
sistance, bosldes postage and other sundries.
Tho board discussed the proposition, but
fairm to tako any action on It. m placo
of allowing the bill for expenses tho board
passed a resolution allowing tho couuty su
perintendent $300 per annum for expenses,
this amount not to Include postago and sta
tionery. Today tho bo.ird will canvass tho petition
of consent tiled by tho saloon men of Coun
cil Illults. This uotltlon rnntntnn It tu
, claimed, ns required by law, tho slRtiaturod
..I umjuiuy ut ulo voicrs wno voted at
tho last gcnoral election held In Novombor,
1S99. Under a recent ruling of tho supreme
court tho codo of 1897 made Inoperative all
potltions of consent secured before October,
1897, and necessitated tho saloon men se
curing new ones. Hy nn emergency act of
tho present assembly tho saloon men wero
given until May 1 In which to securo these
new petitions of consent and allowing them
to operate under (bo old ones until that
date.
In tho county outsldo the city the pe
tition of consent requires tho signatures of
05 per cent of tho voters who cast their
votes at tho last general election. This
has been obtained and tho petition Iuib been
llled with tho board. Tho law requires that
It shall bo published for ten days, and tho
board will meet April IS to cnnvaHs It.

Tho old park board held a short session

ness Members Arnd and Harding retired
and made room for Frank Peterson and C

ers, who took their seats. Th new board
then organized by electing Martin Schmidt,
the bold-over member, chairman, and N. C.
J Phillips, secretary.
A number or applications for appointments
ae park policemen wero received and read,
but tho selcetlou was postponed until a
Inter meeting 'to bo called by the chair
man. The applicants for policeman for Fair

Charlt JorRenson applied for a pumtion

After some discussion Is was decided to
poutpotio advertising for bids for the ex
elusive refreshment privileges at Falrmount
park.
Chairman Schmidt called attention to tho
necessity of taking some steps to remove
the dirt that has falln from the embank
ments iu the cut lending to Falrmount park
He estimated there was between 4,000 and
1,500 yards and said he believed some ar
rangement could be made with the motor
company to remove about half of It, ns the
company would tired the earth for the grad
ing of Its track to Lake ManniMi. He h.id
offered 15 cents ,i yard to have It removed
and b-lleved that If hauled away In wagon
It would cost from .10 to 35 cuits a yard lo
remove. Tho sreretary was Instructed ti
take tho matter up with the motor company
and set what arrangement could bo made.
Member Tlbbets wanted to know under
what conditions the molor company oc
cuplod tho cut Into tho park and whether It
was bound to keep It In repair and passable
condition. Secretary Phillips said thnt tho
records failed to show under what condi
tions tho company was granted the privi
lege of extending Its tracks Into the park.
Fred lamb, the owner of tho menagerie
that heretofore proved such a source of
amusement to tho visitors to Falrmount
park, has disposed of most of the animals
and Chairman Schmidt said he was In favor
of tho board scrurlng two or more deer and
placing them In an lnclosure. Tllo secre
tary was Instructed to correspond with sev
eral parties having deer for sale.
Chairman Schmidt recommended that tho
board Improve Cochran park this summer
and suggested that a fountain and an elec
tric light be placed there. Ho was author
ized to obtain nn estimate of the cost of
such Improvements.
A. B. Carlson, who has hart the grazing
privileges of Lake View park, iwkod per
mission to seed part of It and the board will
Inspect the place next Sunday afternoon.
As tho boundaries of Falrmount are not
clearly defined a resolution was pasfod re
questing the city council to direct Us en
gineer to make a survey of the east, west
and north sides of that resort.
Secretary Phillips reported that there was
between $900 and $1,000 on hands In the
park fund, hut that this amount would be
swelled by the spring turnover from tho
county trecsurer lo between $2, ".00 and $3,000.
The board then adjourned.

DES MOINES. April ,1.-(Speclal Tele
gram. I Two building nnd loan measures

building and loan rommltteo bill passed by
tho upper body Ian week. It has been do.
uirlbcd by your correspondent before and
In brief provides greater restrictions upon
this class of business than havo ever ex
isted In tho state before. The measure

a law without further action of tho as
setnbly. Tho other bill Is the one by lluchntian,
which provides for the creation of a build
ing und loan department In Iowa. This
bill was up beforo the houso somo days ago,
hut was ro-rcferred to the committee und
only reported In again last Friday. Its
chief provision is for the appointment of nn
Inspector by tho governor und one deputy
to oversee the building and loan business
of thu state. The bill carries no appropria
tion with it and Li expected to pass the

amendment argiud that this would secure
mo desired end and would not run tho
chance of being held unconstitutional as
the five-mile limit provision would. The
bill, on Its final passage, received the fol
lowing vote. 4S yeas and 41 nays, thus fsll
IliB to receive a constitutional majority.

Tho method used In this lnstanco Is to tako
a piece of harb wire about 100 feet long
and hitch a horse at either end of II mouiitod ,
by two boys, placing a horse on either side 1
of the lire. In tho center of the wire a 1
dozen or fifteen old grain sacks aro fastened I
and aro kept wet. In order to supplv the 1
water a wagon with several barrels of
water follown tho two boys on the horses
ami is inrown on tho sacks ns they become
dried out by tho heat of the lire. This
method was tried during a big (Ire north

In short order. In this Instance several
men followed along with brooms to whip on
any vestige of the llro that might be left.
Out on tho Sioux reoervatlon a novel method
Is often employed to put out a pralrlo lire
whore this appliance Is not nvallablo and
Is used by the cowboys. When a lire Is
discovered approaching a drove of cattle
one of tho animals Is shot down and cut
vvido open and laid out flat. A horse is
hitched to each hind leg and tho dead brute
Is dragged through tho pathway of the
flame, effectually putting a top to th pro
