Tho annual report of City Knglneor Kt-
nyre, which ho completed yesterday nnu
will submit at tho next meeting of tho city
council, huowh that outside of tho usual
amount of sidewalks and repairs to the
Indian Creek bridges nnd bed, very little In
tho way of public Improvements was car
ried out. This, as explained In tho report,
was duo 'to tho unsatisfactory condition of
tho stato assessment laws. Theoo havo been
remedied by tho legislature and tho prospects
for a largo amount of paving this year are
bright.
Tho report shows that during the last
twolvo months 23,508 feet of sidewalks, prin
cipally brick, wero laid at an expenditure of
$5,998.71. Tho contract prlco for sidewalks
varied from 23 Vi cents to 34 cents, although
as high an 85 cents was paid for one special
pleco. Tho grading for sldewnlks amounted
to 3,160 yards, at a cost of $718,78, tho prices
paid being 20 and 25 cents per yard on most
of tho work.
Hsirncln from the Heport.
In his report Engineer Etnyro sayn:
UWUIg w luo uuuuuui ..-u.ini.i.uuuHniiij. "l I
our special assessment laws a number of
contracts let havo not been completed. How
ever, by obtaining the unanimous couscnt of
tho property-owncra on Avcnuo V from Oak
land to North Second street, to havo tho
nteesHment for paving mado In tho usual
way without protest, tho paving on this
street has been put in and s ready to bo
Estimates for tho same havo been mado and
filed with tho city clerk, awaiting comple
tion. "As It Is practically Impossible to obtain
unanimous consent on tho other streets In
contracts lot, these contracts should bo an
nulled by resolution of tho council previous
to any steps taken to relet tho same under
tho new assessment law recently passed by
tho legislature.
"In view of the oxtenslvo amount of pav
ing which .will probably be dono during tho
coming year I would recommend that pre
vious to tho ordering of any pavement the
water and gas companies nnd all property
owners who havo not connected with tho
sowars where paving Is to bo ordered should
bo notified to extend laterals to tho curb
lino nnd strictly prohibit tho tearing up of
lino mm Birituy mU ..i
nny pnvemcnt for such purposes except in
case of leaks or breakages. ,
ino capacity ' oi inuian creeK irrnn ev-
cnth street to Nineteenth avenue has been
greatly Increased by tho deepening of tho
channel and tho raising ot many low bridge,
Tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
way company and tho Kansas City, St. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs Railroad company
havo as yot dono nothing to their bridges
at Thirteenth avenue, and steps should bo
takon by the council to have them comply
with tho previous order to ralso and lengthen
these bridges.
"A plan to ralso the Chicago & North
weetorn Railway company's bridges at Elev
enth Btrcet has been proposed and favor
ably considered by tho roadmastcr of that
company, nnd I think by eomo effort on the
part of the council somo plan can bo agreed
upon whereby tho usual overflow at that
point can bo prevented. Tho freshets of last
spring cut away and greatly endangered
tho banks of the creek along Upper Broad
way. These places havo been repaired and I
think will prevent any further damngo.
"Tho Fifth avcnuo bridge nnd tho culvert

Jako Miller, proprietor of a small store
In Missouri Valloy, was found yesterday
afternoon lying In an unconscious condition
on the Crescent City road alongside bis
wagon and team. Blood was flowing froely
from a number ot wounds on his head and
tho boards and Insido ot tho wagon wero
spattered with blood, The first Impression
ot thoEo who found Miller In this condition
was that ho had been tho victim ot a brutal
aault. Tho blood-bespattered state of tho
wagon nnd thu wounds on tho man's head
all seemed to Indicate that a desporato
strugglo had token place.
Tho pollco wero notified by tolophone and
the patrol wagon was at onco dispatched to
tho scene. Miller was conveyed to St. Ber
nard's hospital and his team and wagon
brought to the city and placed In a livery
barn. City Physician Jennings, who had
been summoned, when ho first examined
Miller gave It as his opinion that tha man
would barely live until ho reached the hos
pital. Miller, however, contrary to expecta
tions, was worth a dozen dead men and
whon tho patrol wagon reached tho hospital
he surprised f. Jennings and everyone else
by suddenly Retting up off tho stretcher and
walking to the bed which had been pre
pared for him. It then became evident that
he was suffering from an overdose of
whisky, Ho was unable to glvo nny account
ot how he happened to receive tho Injuries
to his head and after his wounds bad beon
dressed ho dropped off Into a heavy sleep.
Tho presumption Is that Miller, being In
toxicated, fell off the wagon between th
horses' feet and was kicked by one ot them.
He then managed to get back on tho wagon,
thus accounting for the blood marks all over

way yards at Missouri Valley, woro notified
by telephone of tho accident to their father,

that tho suits aro the work of retaliation

DES MOINES, April 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Interest In stato houso circles today
Is centered upon tho answer which Stnto
Treasurer Herrlott has promised to mako
to tho statement of facts Issued by tho ma
jority of tho executive council after the
publication of Herrlott's first statement re
garding tho state railroad assessment and
his position thereon. Tho stato treasurer
was nt work on tho document today, but had
nothing to say as to Its contents, further
than that It would In all probability be
given to tho press early tomorrow.
Content of the lloeunicii t
It la known that tho document wltt ho
drawn up to present nnother side of tho
figures which appeared In the statement
mado by Governor Shaw and Secretary of
Stato Dobsou a week or ten days ago, nnd
will also havo something to say concerning
alleged methods employed by members of
tho council In nn effort to Bhapo public
sentiment on tho first statement of the
treasurer. When asked if ho thought tho
mnjorlty of the council would reply a sec
ond time, Secretary of Stato Dobson indi
cated by his manner that ho would bo In
favor of allowing the matter to go without
answering, but ho only said1 "I havo not
talked with tho other members of tho coun
cil, nnd I do not know what they think
about It. Personally, I think it Is a pitiable
sight for a state executive council to get
into a public wrangle. I do not know what
wo will do. Wo havo given tho facts to tho
peoplo In figures, which they may havo ac
cess to In tho stnto records at any time, and
tho peoplo can Judge for themselves who Is
I right In the controversy. Thcso public
statements do llttlo good.
It Is believed that Herrlott's statement
will bo even more sensational than tho ono
ho first Issued.

THE AGE
The present has been described as pre-eminently the
century ol inquiry.
The constant and universal question that is echoed
from cveiy side, is "Why?" Ask any of your friends
why they prefer Van Houtcn's Cocoa'to any other, and
one will immediately tell you "it h.is the highest nu
tritive value;" another will reply "it is more easily di-
gesicu ana assimnaicti man oincr cocoas;
and a third will
perfect in flavor, and rich m healthy stim
ulating properties."
In reply to the question "Whv?" The
Ztirtfesays: "Van Houtcn's Cocoa yields a maximum
proportion of the valuable food constituents of the bean."
Why is it the best for children, for mothers, and for
family use?
Because it is rich in that digestible Albumen which
nourishes the body, and in the Phosphates which build
up bones and tissues; because it repairs waste; and also
because you can get out of it more strength and nou
rishment than out of any other.
