Tho second trial of Street Commissioner
John M. Harden, on the charges preferred
against him by Alderman Hubcr, chairman
of the streets and alleys committee, resulted
In tho city council finding the charges sus
tained and dismissing Harden from the olllce.
The hearing was made the first order of
business after tho reading of tho minutes and
It occupied upward of three hours. Much
tltno was consumed by tho sparring between
Attorney Ilazclton, who defended Harden,
and City Solicitor Wadsworth, who appeared
for the prosecution. Tho aldermen, In their
double capacity of Judge and Jury, became
frequently tangled tip in the intricacies of
the various legal motions to strike, etc., and
several times oted oxnetly opposite to what
they Intended, tho consequence being that
tho question had to be repeated nnd a sec
ond vole taken after tho attorneys had ex
plained tho question more fully to tho coun
cil. At the outset tho city solicitor moved
that the former charges bo reinstated and
that tho testimony taken at the former trial
be made part of tho evidence In this case.
This was strongly objected to by tho de
fense on the groutids that the charges hav
ing once been dismissed Harden could not
bo tried on them again. The council sus
tained tho motion and then Attorney Hazel
ton stated, In view of the fact that the coun
cil had decided to relustato . the former
charges and mako them part of the case ou
trial, he was not prepared to make his an
swer or Introduce his witnesses. Ho said
he did not dcslra to delay the trial, but had
been given to understand that tho trial
would be only on tho new charges.
Aldermen (live Their Testimony.
Iii order that thcro should bo no further
delay, tho city solicitor asked the .council to
rescind its vote and sustain tho defense's
objection to tho reinstatement of tho former
charges. This was done und tho first wit
ness for tho prosecution, Alderman Hoy,
was placed on tho stand. Before he was
examined, however, tho city solicitor offered
In evldenco trnuscrlpts from tho council's
records relative to tho resolution asking for
Hnrden's resignation and the resolution re
quiring Harden to apply to tho streets and
alleys committee for Instructions. Tho de
fense objected to the Introduction of the
resolution asking for Hardcn's resignation
on the grounds that his refusal to comply
with same did not constltuto an offenso and
could not bo made tho subject of a charge.
Ills objection was sustained.
Alderman Hoyer nnd Alderman Clark, the
second witness, both members of tho streets
and alleys committee, testified that Harden
had not applied to them for instructions,
Mty Clerk Phillips testified that Harden had
never filed any report with him ns was rc-
ulrcd to do under tho ordinance, but ad
mitted that during his five years as city
clerk no street commissioner had ever tiled
any such report. This led to a lengthy
.vrnnglo between the nttorncys as to the ad
missibility of tho clerk's evldenco, tho city
attorney objecting on tho grounds that bo-
auso ono officer had failed to do his duty
it was no excuse for another to do tho same,
Tho council overruled tho city attorney's
objection and the evldenco went in.
Alderman Huber when placed on tho stand
estlflcd that Harden had never mado any
report to him of the condition of sidewalks
and offered two letters written to him by
property owners complaining of tho manner
In which Harden looked after city work.
Other Krrom of Harden.
K. Hnamusscn testified that Hnrdon had
notified him to work out his poll tax nftcr
ho had dono so and held a receipt for tho
tax. This evldenco was introduced to show
that Harden did not keep nccurato ac
counts of tho work.
W. II. Lavcnburg testified that when ho
and his son went to look for tho street com
missioner ono morning in order thut they
might work out their poll tax thoy found
Harden In a Hroadway saloon playing cards.
As tho most of tho testimony related to
acts beforo tho filing of the former charges,
tho defenso moved to strike It out, but tho
council overruled tho objections.
Thcro was somo other testimony moro or
less immaterial and then tho prosecution
closed. Harden went on tho stand and tes
tified as to instructions received from the
former council, which, on tho objections of
tho city attorney, was ruled out. Tho flu
fonso Introduced no witnesses and tho pros
ecution waived argument. Attorney Hazel-
ton mado a Bhort argument for the defense
at tbo close of which the council promptly
found tho charges sustained and passed a
resolution dismissing Harden.

WILD WUST SHOW IX COl ItT.
.f. J. Crovrc Wants l( to Draw Custom
to Ills Drink Store.
When Major O. W. Ulllo, better known as
"Pawnee Bill," pitched his "Historical Wild
West Show" yesterday morning nt Broad
way and Twentieth street ho ran up ugatns
n snag, which for a time promised to put a
stop to the exhibition. John J. Crowo, a
saloon keeper nt Thirty-fourth street and
Broadway, secured from Judge Aylesworth
of the superior court a temporary writ of
injunction, restraining 1'awtico Bill from ex
hibiting bin show anywhere In Council
Bluffs except on the lots adjoining his
(Crowe's) saloon. Crowo claimed to hold a
contract with the wild west Aggregation for
It to show on the vacant lots adjoining his
saloon, in consideration nf his giving the
land free for tho purpose and clearing It of
tho weeds and long grass. Crowe also
claimed to have paid $5 to cinch the con
tract and to have gone tu considerable ex
pense in preparing the ground for tha show.
Crowe expected to reap his benefit from tho
sale of liquor at his saloon to tho crowd
which would nttend the show. This con
tract was mado on August 15 and by Its
terms tho Wild West show was to pay
Crowo 25 cents in the event of It deciding
not to show at Thirty-fourth street and
Broadway.
Manager Krause of the Bhow later discov
ered that Crowe's place was too far removed
from the business center of the cltjt and on
August 2S so notified Crowo, at the same
tltno stating the show would bo pitched at
Twentieth slrecet nnd Brdtidway. As boou
as P.awnco Bill had got his canvas spread
and his tents pitched, Crowo had tho in
junction served.
Kraueo secured nn attorney, who promptly
filed n motion to dissolve tho Injunction and
to raise tho bond that Crowo hud filed from
$300 to $2,000. The hearing was set for 4 p.
m. and In order to permit of tbo afternoon
performance being given, Judge Aylcsworth
suspended operation of tho writ until 6 p. m.
Tho hearing, which occupied over two
hours, resulted In Judge Aylcsworth dissolv
ing tho Injunction.
Crowo then sworo out an attachment for
$500 In the district court, alleging ho had
bceu damaged to that amount by reason of
the alleged breach of contruct.
Tho show outfit was attached, hut Man
ager Krause savo a delivery bond In tho
sum of $1,000 and nothing was disturbed.

TI2AC1IUIIS MAI.AHIHS AHH CI T.
Motion to Increase Mime I.cihIh to it
(iviienil llcxlslon of tlic 1,1st,
Tho School board held a special meeting
last evening for the purposo of accepting
or rejecting tho revised plans for the
new High school building prepared by the
architects. They thought better of It,
however, and after cooking up a largo mess
of grief for somo of tho school teachers
adjourned, leaving tho High school matter
in precisely tho same condition as It was
before.
President Henry was out of tho city and
J. J. Stewart was chosen chairman. Thu
other members present wero Sargent,
Cooper, Swalne and Hess, Macrao putting
In an appearance just after the meeting
had adjourned. Chairman Cooper of tho
teachers' commltteo announced that tho
nctton of tho board at its previous meeting
In raising thu salaries of two of tho teach
ers had brought a hornets' nest about his
carB. Ho had applications for a similar
Increaso from no less than flvo teachers,
viz: Misses Lilian Hart and Anna Uodront,
who wanted $60 per month, nnd Misses
Alnsworth, Corner and Stevens, who asked
for $35. On motion of Cooper the salury
question was referred to tha committee
of tho whole for readjustment, tho motion
being carried In splto of tho negative votes
of Members Hess and Sargent.
Tho petitions for an Increaso wero dis
regarded and tho list of salaries was gono
over from the beginning, each ono being
fixed In accordanco with the rules, the
failure to comply with which, as Swalno
pointed out, had brought about tho present
difficulty. Miss Mlnnlo Williamson es
caped having her salary cut by being
changed from ono grade to another with
Miss Gertrudo Oreen, their salaries being
eft at $60 nnd $40 respectively. Miss Ada
Alnsworth was ono of tho few fortunRto
ones, her pay being raised frpm $10 to
35. Miss Wllllanno White, principal of
ho Eighth street school, was cut from
$76 to $71.
Tho directors of kindergartens wero each
given $50, tho teachers affected by this
being Miss Coleman, whoso pay had been
fixed at $60, and Miss Frances Wright, who
was raised at tho provlous meeting to $55.
Tho salary of Miss Elizabeth Graves,
principal of tho Second avenuo school,
suffered a reduction from $74 to $69 nnd
MIsbcs Mnry McClelland and Mumio Noreno
wero each cut from $60 to $55. Misses
Lilian Hart of Avenuo II, and Mary Oliver
of Madison avenuo wero each given $60.
Miss Mary IJeGroat of tho Woodbury
school also hud her salary raised from
$55 to $60. All tho foregoing changes were
mado according to tho grndes of tho ro
spectlvo teachers nnd tho number of years
thoy have been employed.
Mrs. Hill was employed as Janitor of tho
school at Cut-Off at a salary of $15 per
month.
Tho consideration of tho High school
plans was then taken up and Member
Swalno stated that ho thought that beforo
tho Streot slto woh purchased Third street
ought to bo cut through on the enst side
of tho property. His understanding had
been that tho street was already cut
through, but ho had learned that this was
a mistake. Hess stated that there would
bo no trouble over this, as tho owner of
tho slto also ownrd other lots to tho cast
of whero Third streot would bo and ho
would be glad to donate tho nocessary
ground. This, together with tho nbsenco
of Member Macrae, gavo tho rcqulslto loop.
holo for another dolay and on motion of
Cooper nn adjournment was taken, subject
to tho call of tho president or secretary,
nt a tlmo when a definite arrangement for
tho cutting of tho street should havo beon
reached.
Beforo adjourning, however, Architect
Schoeutgen was called upon to exhibit
tho revised plans, for which tho board
will havo to pay him $1,-100 moro In caso
thoy aro accopted. Tho building which It
is now proposed to erect Is three Instead
of two stories in height and 83x142 In
stead of 106x152 feet. According to the
architect's belief, the building ran bo con
structed for the same amount ns tinder
tho old plans. There was somo discussion,
but tho members of tho board carefully
refrained from committing themselves one
wny or tho other. George V. Hughes, who
had tho rontrnct for tho building on the
Oakland avenue slto and mado S00.000 brick
on tho supposition that he would need them
for tho purpose, made a short talk to the
effect that If now bids were called for It
would bo found Impossible to put up the
building at so low a figure as ho had made.

WORK FOR PLACE ON TICKET
Iowa Prohibitionists Anxious to Havo Tholr
Candidates Before the People.
PETITION OF FIVE HUNDRED NECESSARY
TntiRlrr Temple of Omalin Mnkr Fast
Time lu (ietlliiR- to lien Moines to
Attend tho Urent Mcftluif
of the Mirlncrs,
DKS MOINES, Sept. 4. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho prohibitionists of Iowa will
begin work nt once to secure the necessary
&U0 names lu order to allow the names of
thtir candidates to uppcar upon tho statu
ticket. Prominent prohibitionists tele
phoned to tho state auditor's otllco this
morning asking if it was necessary to se
cure this petition lu order to gwt, their
candidates' names on the ticket and wero
answered In thu affirmative Thu reason
of this Is thut the prohibition state ticket
did not receive the 2 per cent of all tho
votes cast necessary In order that thn
nnmes of candidates be placed upon tho
ticket this year by certificates from the
convention officers.
Tho law provides that lu such cases the
names of candidates tor state offices shall
bo placed ou tho ticket only upon a ra-
quest signed by not less than 500 voters of
the state. This petition must bo filed with
tho state auditor not more than sixty days
or less thnu thirty days previous to elec
tion In order to give the auditor time to
certify tho statu ticket to tho county audi
tors, which must bo done not less than fif
teen days prior to election.
The entire voto for governor last year
was 433,311. Two per cent of this number
Is 8,667, while M. W. Atwood, prohibition
candidate for governor, rocolvcd but 7,633
votes In tho state. In Polk county tho re
quired 2 per ceut was secured, so that no
petition will bo necessary to havo the
county candidates placed on tho ticket.
County candidates require u petition signed
by twenty-five voters.
Apportion School Fund Intercut.
The senit-urnual apportionment of In
terest on peruontnt school fund vis mado
by the si Mo and. lor yesltiday und tue ap
portionment warrants aro being mulled out
today. Thu apportionment is on a basis
of Miteen and thirty-one onu-huudreths
cents for each youth In the county. Tho
total amount of permanent school fund
on tho first day of January, 1900, upon
which tho apportionment Is computed, was
$l,7IS,O0L16.
Tho weekly report of crop service of the
agricultural department says Iowa's corn
crop Is now absolutely safe. It says tbo
hot aud dry weather of the last week
afforded Ideal conditions for ripening corn
and more than half tbo crop Is now prac
tically safe. With favorable weather tho
bulk of tho crop will be beyond danger
of harm by any ordinary frost within tho
next tun or fifteen days. Cutting U In
progress and probably mora than the usuel
amount of fodder will be saved to make up
tho shortage of other forage crops. All
reports Indicate above an average yield.
Thrashing has progressed rapidly under
moro favorable conditions than prevailed
In previous weeks. in sections where
storms had boen the heaviest oats and
spring wheat wero considerably Injured In
shock nnd stack and much of the grain will
bo below the usual grade. More thun thu
usual amount of fall plowing has bceu
dono and lu tho southern section fall
wheat seeding Is In progress. Tho pastures
are good In tho larger part of the state. In
the northern nnd central sections fall
apples are abundant, but tho crop of wintor
apples will bo short nnd tho supply of per
ishable fruits will Boon be exhausted,
Close Ui Pent House.
Today tho Board of Health was engaged
In packing up tho household effects at tho
tompornry smallpox hospital and clearing
away all tho tent stock to close the place.
The city has fifteen tents In this transient
hospital and all havo been fumigated nnd
mado ready for packing until again needed.
The only case of smallpox Is pronounced
beyond danger nnd tho patient was released
today. The officers think there is no
danger of further breaking out of disease, at
least not until winter, when It is thought
thcro will bo some lively times.
Many peoplo of Des Moines had almost for
gotten that one of tho best crulbors in the
united States navy will bear tho name of
Iowa's capital city. The contract for the
construction of the Des Moines has been let
and tho cruiser Is already well along In the
process of construction. Forcible reminder
of the existence of such a war ship was
brought to tho city officials today by tho ro-
celpt at the mayor's office of a communica
tion from Philip Hlchborn, chief of con
struction of tho United States navy, contain
ing blue prints of design of name nlnte to
be used on gangway boards. The Des Moines
is to bo constructed on tho latest lines with
n heavy armament. It will bo capablo of
making twenty-three knots an hour, suf
ficient to overhaul tho fleetest battleship,
and will at the same time bo protected with
steel plate of sufficient thickness to render
it invulnerable to all but the heaviest guns
on a battleship.
Telephone Compnulc Merit.
Tho lown Telephone company will be
meigcd into tho system of tho Central Union
Telephone company within a week. Infor
mation to this effect waa rocelved by a
promlnont capitalist today. This confirms
tho story published In Tho Beo this morning.
Tbo merging of these two companies means
much to Des Moines. In tbo first place it
means the etato headquartors of the com
pany will bo removed from Davenport to
this city, owing to tho fact Uiat this city
is more centrally located than the river
town. It means that a building to cost
not less than $50,000 will be erected here
by the company. It Is further stated that
tho company when they nssurao chargo of
the Des Moines oxchango will mako their
system an underground one and glvo the city
mo jniest nnd best systom known to tho
telcphono world.
Tho Shrlners of tho central west hold
a great meeting hero today, the largest and
most successful in their history. Tho pa
radc, which was ono of tho features of the
day, was taken part In by over 2,000 mem
bers from out of town, wearing the red

initiation, which will keep tho members
