At tho meeting of the trustees of tho

form to those Introduced In the city coun
cil, Hoard of Education and Hoard of
County Supervisors:
Resolved. That It Is the senm- of the
trustees of the free nubile llbrnrv of Conn-
ell HlulTs that there is no objection to hav
ing tno uibei or tile Typographical union
placed on the reports and printed matter
of the hoard of trustees Intended for uen-

Tho resolution was referred to a special
committee consisting of Trustees Burke,
Haird and Casady,' with instructions to -c-
port at tho next session of tho board. Front
tho slight discussion that ensued on tho In
troductlon of tho rcsolutlou, It was evident
that several of tho members of tho board
wero opposed to binding themselves by Its
adoption.
Tho committee to which had been re

James U. IMmundsnn, having after an

and all thoso Interested In tho library's
welfnre, to thank him for his long years
of labor for tho upbuilding of tills Insti
tution, and attest the value of his work
In Its behalf. He wns nlways deeply Inter
ested In tho library and gave freely of Ills
time to Its work. No one has ever been
more attentive to the meetings of the board
and Its committees, and no call upon his
time or talent has over failed of ready
and cheerful response.
His term of service far exceeded that of
nny member now upon the board, and It Is
not too much to say that no one of alt
thoso who havu served with him lit all
these yenrs has ever accomplished more for
the present and future standing and use
fulness of tho library.
As officials, wo regret Ills resignation as
a distinct loss to this Institution, and ns
citizens wo feel that by his removal from
this city wo have lost from our midst a

Mrs, Minna Kllanowskl filed a petition
In tho district court yesterday asking to

whom she married In Germany twenty-nine
years ago. Nine years ago, so Mrs. Klla
nowskl states In her petition, her husband
deserted b,cr In Germany and came to this
country. Seven years sho heard nothing
from him until in 1C99 ho wrote to her that
if she would comn to America and livo with
him again ho would try to bo a model hus
band, Sho suys she gave him another trial
and borrowed enough money to puy her
passage to this country. All went well for
six months, when her husband, she alleges,
began to ill-treat hor again, and his con
tinuance to do eo prompts her to apply
for a divorce.
Her husband, she says, has $600 In the
bank nnd several head of stock and other
farming equipment, and she asks that ho be
restrained from disposing of any until sho
secures hor portion and alimony.

lution wero referred back to Knglncer

The resolution calling for the grading of

Tho amended ordinance providing for
the icpalr ng of sidewalks nnd assessing I In

the district court from the assessment made
against four lots on Ilrondwny for the

to withdraw tho suits If tho city would

from $550 to $300. After considerable dis
cussion the matter was referred to the

is at tin end. The Stnte Bonrd of Health
has received fewer reports lately than dur
ing tho winter from the counties of the

epidemic has worn itself out the past
winter. The state has probably had from
1,000 to 2,000 cases during the winter, but

The chnngo of ownership of the coal rail
road running from Vnlerla, on the Great
Western, to Colfax and Into a coal mining
region along Squaw creek In Jasper county
probably means considerable extension of
the line. Thomas Hooper, assistant gen
eral freight agent of tho Great Western
resigned to accept management of the road
for tho new company which has taken pos
session. Not only will Great Western
trains be run Into Colfax, or at least train
connections made, but an extension of the
rond Into now fields west of Valeria Is
promised nnd some development of tho
rond in the south. It is a comparatively
short road, but runs Into valuable coal
districts. Tho new company is the Colfax
Northern Railroad company, with n capital
of $120,000. nnd the Incorporation was ef

DAVRNPORT. Ia., April S. (Special Tel
egram.) Clerks' union No. 405 nnd Sllber
stein Bros., clothiers, tonight signed an
agreement by which they will keep their
place of business closed on Sundays. This
Is the settlement of the question whether
nil stores In Davenport shall be kept open
on Sunday or not, for this firm was the
last to ngrco to the proposition nnd tho
stored would have nil been open next Sun
day had the agreement not been signed.
The firm hod restrained the clerks with
a federal injunction, obtnlned before Judgo
Smith McPbcrson, and the National Clerks'
union, with $13,000 nt Its command, fought
tho matter and obtained the dissolution.
It is believed here that the one agreement
means the settlement of the open stores
on Sunday In tho whole state of Iowa.

Is true so far as tho harbor Is concerned,
but tho figures and tho amount of land
cannot bo confirmed at the present time.
The land Is situated at the mouth of the
Montreal river. The dividing line is be
tween Michigan nnd Wisconsin nt the
northerly end of those states. The harbor
Is a good one, but would not accommodate
boats drawing more than eighteen feet or
water. The hnrhor Is but twenty miles
from the Oopeble range and a railroad
survey connecting the harbor and tho rnngo
has been made.

LIEUT. GOVERNOR CURED.
General Thomas, Oldest Living General of the Civil
War and Formerly Lieut. Governor of Vermont,
relieved of Rheumatism by Dr, Greene's Nervura
Blood and Nerve Remedy,
LIEUT.-OOVKKNOR THOMAS CURBD BY Pit, OrlEENE'S NERVURA,
Ninety-two years of age is the illustrious soldier-statesman, Generml
Thomas of Vermont.
He has held ofllce as Representative, Senator, Judge of Probate Court,
and Lieutenant-Governor.
Strong of purpose and of cleanest record, everyone may depend absolutely
on his-word. Listen to him now, vou who suffer with rheumatic pains anil
twinges. Read his letter telling " for other's good " how Dr. Greene's Nervura
relieved him of pain. General Thomas Rays:
" I am pleased at this opportunity to add my testimonial to the
worth of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. The many
years of life's journey left its touch upon me in the form of rheu
matic pains. I have found benefit and relief from the use of Dr.
Greene's Nervura, and give my permission to publish this letter for
others' good."
Rheumatism creeps i: to the joints und muscles through deficient blood
circulation and disordered nerves. Kvery thick uttnonphere aggravates it.
Every trifling cold strengthens its grip.
Ordinary practice novor cures rheumatism, but volujucs of evidence exist
to show that IJr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, devoid absolutely
of mineral elements, is the true nnd certain spccitlc. Why let. your pains and
your stiff joints and yo shoulder aches continue v ' 'tout malting tho test of
the medicine Gcncrul Tnomas commends for the gou of (ill sufferers?
