The aldermen who ore In favor of paving
sccral streets In the Fourth ward with
n3pliallum havo not given up tho fight by
any means, although they arc letting the
matter rest nulct for tho present, In view
of the fact that It will be two or three
mouths before any paving can be doue. As
tho council fctnnds at prtEcnt four of the
aldermen are firmly opposed to nsphaltum
and favor brick.
Tho nlderineu who are desirous that the
streets In tho Fourth ward should he paved
will nsphaltum arc In the mcantlmo se
curing statistics regarding the wearing
qualities of this material, etc., from the
cltv engineers of a number of the leading
cities throughout tho country.
The following circular letter has been
nihil essed to tho city engineers:
Dear Sir It Is the Intention of the city
oune'l of this city to pavo certain streets
In the Fourth wnrd In this city this year
with elihcr brick or nsphaltum. Although
the aldermen are n unit for tho pnvlng they
Hie evenly divided as regards the kind.
We have at present about eight miles of
brick pnvlng, nomo of whlrh was put down
twelve yenrs ago, but having no asphalt
pavli.g up to the present time Its durability
under local conditions Is questioned.
ir you would kindly answer the ques

What effect on asphalt has the ordinary
street lllth ir allowed to remain :
What effect on asphalt has standing pools
ot water? ... I

Does the gradient nppenr to have nny ap

What effect has the subsoil on the dura

These circular letters of Inquiry are now
being i-ent out under the direction of City

KIuk'm Accession lis MnrLcil Crisis,
"Tho Kdwnrdlan Kings nnd tho Hook of
Common Prayer" was tho topic of Hev.
George Kdward Wnlk's sermon yesterday
morning at St. Paul's Kplscopal church.
He suld:
"The denth of the great and good O.ucon
Victoria and the accession to tho Ihrono
of tho prince of Wales ns Edward VII Is
a marked crisis In the. history of tho Anglo
Saxon world. The fact that tho new mon
arch assumes tho name of Edward lends an
Interest to the churchman, whose mind Is
at once directed over the chasm of 3.c
years to that othor Edward whole reign
wns at a period fraught with tho gravest
moment to tho Church of Christ. It wns
then that was given to the people In tho
common vernaculnr tho Hook of Common
Prnver, which has become the blessed
herltago of nil English-speaking church
men 'Three parties existed In England: a
small but growing Evangelical party. In
full sympathy with the continental reform
ers ot tho Lutheran school; a small ltoman
party, that desired the continuance of the
papal authority, and a majority of tho na
tion, of which tho king was fairly repre
sentative, tl.at wished little doctrinal
change, but was ready to do away with
obedience to the papacy nnd abolish thos'j
features of English clerical llfo which, llko
mounstlclsm, had como widely to bo con
sidered ns nbuses. With the accession of
Edwnrd VI, who was king from 1517 to
155:1, tho still eomparatlNely small party
In sympathy with continental Protestant
ism cumo Into power, nnd there followed
the publication of a Hook of Common Prayer
In 1511), by which nil the ordinary parish
services were transferred from the I.atln
to the English tongue nnd Its character
istic Roman features abolished.
"Tho principles on which tho service book
was drawn up were those which underlay
the whole movement of tho English refor
mation. Thero was no Iconoclastic fury,
thcro was no Intention of unnecessary
change but thcro was n fixed purpose to
bring back tho services to the spirit and
tone of tho earlier centuries tho centuries
of the first four ecumenical councils and
to make them moro nvnllablo for general
use.
"Tho first prayerbook of Edward VI wns
so excellent that It haH remained In null
stnnco tho office book of all branches of
the Anglican communion nud is likely so
to remain. Our own American prayer
book Is patterned after It, with only m.ch
locnl changes necessary to adapt It to our
national and independent condition."

PES MOINES, Jan. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) An appeal case submitted to the
Iowa supremo court on oral nud printed
arguments yesterday Involves the validity
of the law under which water works owned
by titles and towns lire operated In town.
It Is tho culmination of a hard light against
the nonpartisan principle in the control
of munlrlpnl water works by those who
favor the old system of having tho
water works controlled by the wnrd poli
ticians nnd used as an opportunity for
politicians to feed upon. Some years ngo
those who desired reform In the method
ot managing water works procured the
passage of ti law. placing their control In
tho hands of a commission to be nppolnted
by tho district court and to be of non
partisan character. The claim was imme
dlntcly set up that this violates the prin
ciple of locnl control of affairs, for tho
Judges of tho district court may he elected
from other parts of a district. It Is also
nrgued that the constitution Is violated In
thnt tho court Is thus given a duty to per
form which properly belongs to tho execu
tive branch of tho government. This ques
tion was argued before the supremo court
yesterday on nn appeal case from Wood
bury county. Involving the control of the
water works In Sioux City. It Is not con
tended thai there has been any mismanage
ment of the water works by the commis
sion nppolnted by the Judges under the
Inw: In fact, tho watet works have been
mndu to yield n handsome profit to tho
city. The questions Involved nro purely
constitutional and nrfcet the method of
mnnngement of munl'lpal affairs In all
pnrts of tho sinte.

HnIiiIiIImIiIhk Small Libraries.
Northwest Iowa has n philanthropist who.
in a small way, is doing a vast amount of
good In his pnrtlculnr field. This is George
W. Schce of Prlinghnr, formerly a member
of tho town house, who has donated money
for the starting of school libraries In every
school district of O'Urlen county and In
many districts In other counties, nnd for
ULtnrics In several towns'. He always
gives In compnratlvcly small amounts nnd
requires that the people shall contribute
similar sums. He also bought anil pre
sented lo Ihe schools In his county Amer
ican flags to be lloalcd over tho rural school
houses. Now he has mndo an offer to tho
towns In Snc county nnd will glvo sums ns
follows for establishing school libraries:
Auburn nnd Grant City, $100 each; Early

Schaller, $200 each, and Sue City, $600.
This la conditional nn each of these towns

D Is rumored In eastern Iowa that the
Milwaukee railroad contemplates a now
line from Ottumwa to Davenport, thus
shortening the southwestern branch to Knn
sas City materially. If tho lino Is built
tho Chicago-Kansas City trains would go
by wny of Davenport Instead of to Marlon.
A survey mndo by tho Northwestern in

of Fonda, Pocahontas and Holfe, nnd It Is
believed In that part of tho state that tho

and make n new short line from Omnha to
tho Twin cities.

The farmers of Washington and Mahaska
counties, who have constructed about 100
miles of rural telepliono lines at a cost of
$6,000 and connect moro than 200 farm

offer from tho People's Telepliono company
to tako over their lines and ronncrt them

CRESTON, la.. Jan. 27. (Special. )-At
tho closo of the third day of tho 01 lie
lode trial an agreement wns renched
whereby the raso was settled out of court.
The action was one that charged certain
parties with fraud and conspiracy, re
sulting from tho purchase of the Olllo
lodo mining claim In Cripple Creek, Colo.
Two years ngo tho mine wns bought by 1
Creston syndicate for $50,000 nnd it wns
but n few days nfter tho purchase was
made that reports were circulated to the
effect that tho syndicate had been swindled;
thnt tho mine had been salted for tho oc
casion. Suspicion among the syndicate
grow and finally crystallized Into n law
suit. Hon. J. 11. Harsh, W. C. Henry,
George Ilelbo and George Willis Emerson
wore named ns defendants. During Ihe
second day of tho trial tho attorneys for
Mr. Harsh llled a motion to dismiss him
from tho case, as tho plaintiffs had failed
to show him in nnywlso connected with
a conspiracy or fraud, If nny hnd been com
mitted, and tho court sustained the mo
tion. At tho closo of the third day, after a
number of conferences had becii held, the
plaintiffs agreed to accept an offer from
Mr Harsh to take 51 cents on the dollar
for their stock and drop nil litigation.
Tho case was becoming interesting when
the ngrccment to adjust tho matter out of
court as reached.
Mr. Harsh said to The lice reporter that
he made the offer to buy so that ho rould
get what money he had originally placed
In tho mine, $7,000. out. He could do
nothing whllo an endless string of lawsuits
existed. The plaintiffs In ncccptlng Mr.
Harsh's proposition agree to discontinue nil
unfriendly conduct townrd tho mine.
