jl.fKni, ei i pi tlmt one bond i.iav he Issued
for the imio mt neeessarx- to make no the
exact ii i noun i of such cik'1, which shall not
exceed Jl.mio.
These hontls are payable only out of tho
special fund created by tho levy and col
lection of the assessment against the
.ibuttlnt; property, and In no other wn.
The only nbllKatlon assumed by the clly
Is to apply the money It shall collect as
the proceedK of the special assessment to
the payment of tho bonds and the same
obligation deolves upon the city In tho
case of certificates.
Section SI" of tho code provides that
such certificates, bonds and coupons shall
not make the city liable In any way, ex
cept for the proper application of sold
apeclnl taxes.
The city attorney is of the opinion that
these bonds should not bo considered or
counted In the financial statement of the
city, In fact, should be treated exactly
'is certificates would be treated. They
re, he snya, really only unother form
f certificates. In which tho sum to be
nme duo In any one year Is bunched and
put In ouo certificate or bond. They create
no other or different obligation upon tho
city than that resting upon it in tho pro
posed issue of certificates, nor do thoy
create any additional liability upon tho
properly owner. In support of his opinion
the city attorney quotes cases In which
the Iowa supreme court hna held that thcs
kind of bunds were not an obligation of
tho city.
Some of the city officials are opposed
to the issue of such bonds, bellevitiK that
they would Impair the credit of the city.
Another question Is, Where Is the Interest
on these bonds to come from that will
accrue between tho tlmo they become duo
and the lime that sullklent. of the special
assessment will have been collected to
pay them? In the ense of certificate.-, which
are paid by the Individual property ownur.
tho latter pays the interest that has ac
crued when he pnys the certificate. In
tho case of the bonds 'they are Issued
against the entire assessment of the cost
of the Improvement. A solution of this
problem, city officials say. must be dis
covered before tho bonds cun be Issued In
phice of the customary certificates.
It Is beautiful weather, but there Is no
telling when the change will come. Don't

ried nl the sperlal election held in this
city yesterday. The returns from eleven
precincts chowed that l.lSH ballots were

thus currying by n majority of 171 votes
in the precincts heard from. The returns

(Cut-Off) were not tecelved at the clly
clerk's oillce last night, but tho vote thero
ciinnoi alter the result.
The Mite cast was n ery light one, being
barely 2u per cent of that cast at the last
city election, and it wnn apparent that very
little Interest was taken in tho election and
very few of the buHln.sq or professional
men took the trouble to ovon cast their
ballot. Except for the fact that all the
saloons were closed In conformity with tho
law, there was Ilttlo or nothing to Indi
cate tnat an election was In progress.
Theero was absolutely not the slight est
excitement around any of the polling places
and In many of the precincts tho Judges
and clerks whlled nnay tho time by play
ing a friendly game of "seven up" or tell
ing yarns.
While thero was no organized opposition
to tho measure, yet the voto In several
of the precincts Indicated that there, wcro
nuiuy who were not In favor of It. Mayor
Jennings from the start has been opposed
lo the proposition and it was exported that
his ward, the l'lrst, would support him.

The rejection by tho board's architects,
Messrs. Cox nnd Schoontgen, of two suh-cot-tractors
suggested by (leorgo Hughes,
icuttnctor for the new High school build
ing, formed the topic for a heated and
lengthy discussion nt tho meeting of thu
Hoard of Kducntlon last night.
I'nder the plans and specifications em
bodied In the contract, tho architects
hnvo the right to reject any subcontractor
who In their opinion thoy deem Incompe
tent. They asked the board to ratify
their action in rejecting thn two
subcontractors namoil by Hughe, as
tho latter had refused to submit others
until the matter was referred to tho board.
This courso wan atrenously opposed by
Member Stewart. During tho discussion
and objections to tho specifications raised
by Stewnrt It developed tlmt these speci
fications had never boon read before the
board, although accepted by It.
After a discussion lusting upwards of nn
hour. In which Member Swaino urged the
beard to ratify tho action of the aichl- I
tens, the matter whb finally disposed by
being laid on the table. 1
The architects suggested the aubstitu- 1
Hon of mottled brick In place of tho
pressed brick specified In the plans and I
they wero glcn full latitude to use their I
own discretion in tho matter. Tho mot-1
tied brick cost $2 per 1,000 more than tho I
pressed aud will Involve au extra outlay I
of about 3300 If used. I

DKS MOINliS, Oct 111. iSpechll Tele
Krnni.i Ily decision of the uprenie coutt
this morning Theodore Henoch, who for
motii thuti two years has been nn Inmate of
the state penitentiary nml whose sentence
was for life, will be cd t llbert). Fate Iiiis
been playing a peculiar game with Henoch
since September 12. 1S97. Ills strangely In
volved ease has twice demanded the consid
eration of the supreme court. A year ago
last April It reversed the decision or the
district court because Henoch had been
convicted of second Instead of first degree
murder, but u petition for n rehearing was
immediately filed by tho state and for an
other year and a half Henoch has been
awaiting thn werd from tho court of last
report. It enine this Morning In Henoch's
faor again, but for a different reason. Tho
pica or Ihe state that the Instructions to
Ihe Jury were not prejudicial to tho de
fendant und that the supreme court should
not hnvo reversed the ensn on the gtounds
has equally dliided thn court. Justice Wat
erman. Irfidd and Pherwln ilNscntltig, and
so under the law It stands affirmed as with
out prejudice to the defendant, although
thn court Is united that thn Instructions
wero erroneous. The ense was reversed this
morning on grounds of Insutllrletiry of evi
dence, something that was not even consid
ered In the former opinion.
Tho opinions handed down were-

It has been a long tlmt since one day's
criminal record assumed such large pro
portions ns that of today. The safo In the
ofllce of the Chicago Lumber company was
blown open, the proprietor of Ilorg's gro
cery store was held up while his money
drawer was robbed; J. W. (Ircager was
held up, beaten Insensible nnd robbed on
the Walnut street bridge und divers other
crimes of lesser nature wcro reported to
the police within the last twenty-four
hours. Nono of the robberies were of any
groat Blze.
Tho republican Btntn central committee
today received a letter from the Philip
pines which will surely be In evidence In
Iowa nnd the entire country during the
remainder of tho campaign. The letter was
written by Sergeant Coorgo W. Wllklns
of Company O, Thirty-ninth regiment, V.
S. V., and was directed to his father, W.
L. Wllklns. who Is general manager of the
Sioux City Plow company. It Is dated nt
San Pablo, province of I.agunn, Luzon, P. I.
After describing the enndtttotis of weather
aud location of the troops, etc., tho letter
says:
Scleral official puperK of Insurgent origin
coming from Generals Molrnl nnd Callles

cans here, C-i plain Kreoier having copies

This Is no lie, either. I hnve rent th
papers. It seems pretty tough to think that
a rebellion should be stlrted tip .mil kent
allvo hy our own people.

twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Iowa
Kqual Suffrage association which met here

III the I'liuil Decision.
SIOUX CITY. la.. Od. !. (Special Tele
gram. I Judge Shlrus of the federal court
hatt made a decision in the ease of Otis
Vlokery et al against tho clly of Sioux
City et al. which gives promise of a nnal
decision in tho same case which would
rost the city of Sioux City between J50.000
nnd $100,000. Vlckery brought action on tho
grounds that money which should have
been applied In taking up Improvement
bonds held by him hnd been used to take
up other Improvement bonds.
Acting under Instructions the city treas
urer lias maintained only three district
Improvement bond funds and has taken up
bonds without such reference as to whnt
property had paid In the money. In the
ruling Just received Judge Shirks overrules
the demurrer of the city, nnd In his opinion
seems to make It plain what his final de
cision will he. There Is another case
pending, Parson Leach & Co. against the
city of Sioux City, la which tho same Issues
