decision of soveral prominent members of
the bnr yostorday to whom was submitted
tho question of the right of the city coun

In Mayor Jennings' absence. The lawyers
were all of the opinion that the codo did
not provide for the appointment of an act

Clark cuuld not take upon himself to aet
as such.
Mr. Clark decided to accept tho ruling of
tho lawyers In part, but In the event of an
emergency arising will not hesitate to as
sume the reins and act as chief executive of
tho municipality. Chief of Pollco Albro to
tho contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Clark
further states that In tho absenco of Mnyor

(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. H. (Special.) Two
gangs of workmen Indulged in a small riot
In the streets of Des Moines this morning.
The troublo arose over a question as to
the ownership of a street. When Sixth
street was closed by the tracks of tho Dcs
Moines Union railroad In order to permit
of the building of the Union depot an agree
ment was entered Into by which a Btreel
south of tho tracks was to be kept open
between Sixth and Fifth streets to accom
modate the huslncsB on the south part of
Sixth street. The street was opened In duo
course of time nnd Is now being used by
tho public. Recently, the city council or
dered the electric light company to put Its
wires on that short street underground and
workmen went to work today to do so.
Tho superintendent of the Dcs Moines Union
Railroad company took n gang of men aim
tried to stop tho work, claiming thnt the
street was private property. A fracas re
sulted, In which the electric light workmen
came out best. They rolled the superin
tendent In the dirt and went ou with their
work. Tho Incident disclosed that tho
street had not been dedicated to the pub
lic, as has been agreed, but the company
retains private ownership of the landi nnd
has the right to close tho street at any
time. No serious Injury was done any of
the participants In the riot.
Securing 'I'm tor Itnllrnnil.
J. E. Cherry of this city nnd B. F. Clay
ton of Indlanola recently Incorporated a
railroad company known ns the Des Moines
d Southern Iowa. Nothing was known as
to tho backing the company has or for
what purpose the Incorporation had been
made, but tho Incorporators have Insisted
thnt they mean business and will build a
railroad southwest from Dcs Moines. This
week they have secured the signatures of a
majority of the freeholders at Wlntcrset
to a petition asking for a special election
to vote a tax In aid of the construction
of the railroad In that city. The election
will soon bo called. The promoters say
they will ask for taxes at other points along
tho line and are assurod they wilt get it.
When the franchise was voted for nn elec
tric road from Creston to Wintcrsot It was
asserted by the opponents of the franchlso
that It had been settled that the Burlington
would build from Creston to Winterset and
on to Des Moines, but whether this move
ment at Winterset is In the interest of tho
Durllngton or some olher company Is not
known hero.
lteform In the Diocese.
It Is announced that Archbishop Kcane
of the dlnccso of Dubuque, who Is now
In Europe, will bo home again August 23
nnd that soon thereafter he will take charge
of the retreat at St. Joseph'H college. Ono
feature of this meeting of the priests will
bo that it will bo tho occasion for start
Ing r number of long-needed reforms In
the diocese. The priests' will hold a synod
nnd carefully go over the rules and regu
lntlons regarding 'priests" and make sug
gestions to the archblbbop of changes, this
preparatory to having' the rules codified
and printed In book form for the use of
the priests. This has never been done
In this diocese, ns Archbishop Hennessey
was always averse to this. Ono matter
which will receive much attention Is that
of the salaries of the priests. A move
ment Is on foot to elnhslfy the parishes
and make the salaries uniform In the
different classes and to Insist on rigid
adherence to the rule. This does not meet
with tho approval of all the priests and
Is opposed by those In the larger parishes.
Another proposal Is that thcro shall be
appointed In every parish a board of trus
tees with power to supervise tho cxpendl
turn of all parish funds nnd to give the
priests assistance. This Is an Innovation
In this diocese. The lectures to the
priests during tho meeting In September
will be delivered by Bishop O'Gorman of
I g0UX polls
After Cnrneete I.lhrnry Money.
Although scvon cities nnd towns of Iowa
have drawn on Andrew Carnegie for funds
with which to establish free libraries.
there aro others ready to accept sorao of
tho money. Tho library trustees of Mar
shalltown havo gono at tho matter In a
systematic way to secure $30,000. They
have secured a site for tho building, which
will be given to the library free of cost,
and they havo had the city council levy
a half mill tax for the benefit of the
library, which will bring In $3,000 an
nually. With this starter thoy presented
the matter to Mr. Carnegie's secretary In
charge of such work nnd he has approved
tho same. It Is believed that ns soon
ns Mr. Carr.eglo returns from Scotland he
will draw his check for $30,000 In favor
of Marshalltown.
More Improvement.
The Stnto Board of Control has adopted
tho plans for a now fire statton at tho
Stnto Institution for the Fceble-Mlnded
nt Glcnwood. Tho building will bo a one
nnl one-hnlf story brick structure of very
neat design ami a tower fifty-two feet
high, Rids will be asked for soon. Tho
board hnB also adopted plans for a com
plete new heating and ventilating system
nt tho state hospital at Mount Pleasant.
These Improvements will bo commenced
this fall. Superintendent Powell of tho
Institution at Glcnwood has asked for an
appropriation of $124,r.OO for buildings and
support of tho nex legislature; $3S,850 Is
wanted for the Orphans' homo at Daven
