The committee In charge of raising funds for the Colonel Kinsman memorial monu ment are not meeting with the success they anticipated. Since the first wave of en thus! asm. aroused by General Granville Dodge while in this city, has passed away the contributions have not been coming In aa rapidly as could be desired. . . 4 The collection taken among . the chil dren of. the publlo schools amounted to about $30, which was a disappointment to the committee. At the present time about one-half of the 'necessary fl.tOO for the purchase of the monument has been col leoted or promised and the committee real ises that If the monument Is to be In place by May 17, the anniversary of Colonel Kinsman's death, and at which Urns it was hoped that the monument would be un veiled at a reunion In this odty of the sur viving veterans of the Fourth and Twenty- third Iowa regiments, some considerable hustling will have to bo done in the mat ter of raising funds and that a more sub stantial interest will have to be manifested on the part of the publlo. The committee will meet this week to arrange further plans for raising the funds needed.

WANTS BRICK FOR ABUTMENTS Bricklayers' Inlon Tells Conncll that Vao of Them Will Keen Moaojr In the City. At the meeMng of the city council to night the question of the material to be used in the abutments for the bridge over Indian creek at Mynster and Main atresia is to bo taken up. When awarding the contract to E. A. Wlciaatt ths council do oided upon concrete., bnt since then the bricklayers' union, backed by the trades and labor assembly, haa naked that the council rescind Its action and designate brick instead ot concrete. The bricklayers' union baaea its request on the grounds that the selection of brick will keep large amount of the money to be expended on the structure at home. Wlckham'a bid called for either atone, brick or concrete tor the abutments. The aldermen probably would be willing to grant the request of the bricklayers' union provided vitrified paving brick were used by the contractor, but the specifica tions call for sidewalk brick, and several of the councilmen for this reason are op posed to It and will insist on concete.

(Special.) The Iowa legislature has been In session now live weeks and no bill of general nature has been signed by the governor. The only bills to be completely disposed of are a few legalising acts and one appropriation bill for ths Cherokee Insane hospital, which was needed so that work might be con tinued at this Urns. But nearly 700 bills have been Introduced In the two branches of ths legislature. Ths committees have done a vast amount of work. Much of the general legislation contemplated has been digested. Ths legislature Is at least as far advanced with work as usual at this time of the year and the leaders ot the legislature feel that they have done fairly well. The coming week there will be given consideration of some matters of Impor tance and interest. One of the chief mat ters will come up In ths senate on Tuesday morning when the bill to change the penal system of the stats, establishing perms -cently the parole system with Indetermi nate sentences, placing the persons con victed of lesser crimes In the penitentiary at Anamosa and converting It into a re formatory proper, and giving soms board power to transfer convicts from the re formatory to the peltentlary or the oppo site at will. The measure Is pending in the senate and has been made a special order. The, bill has been introduced by Senator Emmert, whose seat is threstened by a contest and who may be ousted any day, but the measure is really championed by the Board of Control. It will meet with considerable opposition from the lawyera. Railway- Assessments. The railway assessment matter has not gons so far. The bill to provide for mak ing the assessment on ths market value of the . stocks and bonds as determined by the market reports, has been prepared and presented to the senate ways and means committee, and soms of its features have been considered, but It is known that ths committee is far from harmonious in re gard to the measure. The bill con templates a complete change In the as sessment system of the state. It will meet with bitter opposition in ths legis lature, but those who have prepared st and are prepared to champion the measure are apparently In full control and It is almost certain to become a law. The compulsory - education matter will come before the senate this week. ' Ths bill passed ths house. In other years a bill for this purpose haa mat with opposition from those churches that maintain paroch ial schools. The bill this year was amended to suit ths Lutherans before it was presented at all, and later changes were made In the measure at the sugges tion ot Archbishop Keane, which made the bill, satisfactory to the Catholics. . The aim of the educators is to get the principle established in Iowa and amend the law from session to. session as It may ba found necessary. Tho bill pasaed ths house by Urge majority and will pass ths senats with little trouble. Bills Affecting Salaries. Among the bills that will attract much attention in the near future are those affecting salaries.' Ths measure to increase the salaries of the supreme Judges and to so change the terms of court that the court would practically sit all ths year, baa not been well favored. It would have been defeated at the outset If It had not been withdrawn. A house committee has now so changed ths bill that there Is nothing In it about changing the terms of court, snd the salary increase amounts to . only 11.000 a year. But ths bill may be fixed up properly later en. The bill to Increase the salaries of district Judges is yet to be acted on. The bill affecting the salaries of sheriffs has been changed in committee so that the highest sslary for a sheriff wtll be $3,500 a year. In this form ths bill will be strongly supported in ths house ths coming week or aa soon as reached on the calendar. There are also bills affecting the salaries of court reporters, county re corders and some others. Ths members seem to fear a general '..-ward movement of salaries. Appropriations Meaeares. Ths appropriations bills havs not gone vary far. Ths senate committee la waiting for the house committee to do the primary w6rk on the main bills. Ths hsuse com mittee has completed , ths work . on ths Board ot Control bills. These relate to the fourteen charitable, penal and reform atory state institutions, and for thia ap propriations ara needed amounting to about 1800,000, which is mors than ths money which ths state auditor and treasurer re port is available for all the extraordinary appropriations. So ths house appropria tions commutes has appointed a subcom mittee to find out If more money Is not is sight, or It some way cannot be devised for Increasing ths state's revenues materially. unairman Hughes of ths appropriations committee is emphatle in his position. Hs says that if this Is all ths money the stats now has at its disposal It must get mors. "Ws must take cars of our stats institu tions." he says. "If ws havs not sufficient revenue now. we must get it. Only a very small part or tho money psld In Uxes comes to ths state treasury. Our state tax levy is not large. Iowa can afford to pay well for the care of her dependents and for ed ucation, and I believe that the people will sustain us If ws do ths right thing by all our state institutions and Interests snd then see to It that taxes are levied to pay for the same." Much of the legislation thus far has been in toe nature or correcting errors in ths cods or ths laws. Ths past week two bills havs bean considered of this nature, which illustrate what la happening all the time One of them corrects a clause In ths cods which provided that whers a person com mits a crime in Iowa while he is outslds of ths stats, certain things shall happen. uoviousiy tnis is not what la msant. but it has been changed so ss to, read whers ons leaves ths stats sfter committing s crime. Anoiaer prescribes that persona doing a certain thing shall ba punished, but does not aay bow or what tor. Thia has been corrected. Ths usual grist of legalising acta are to be found oa tu caisaaar TAXING HIDDEN PROPERTY Tax Ferret System Puts Much Honey Into County Treasuries in the State. WARM rilHT FOR CONGRESSIONAL HONORS Jockeying; for Advantage tu Capital Dlatrtet h;arrh Qnarnntlno Lifted Ventilation of Capitol Appeals la Criminal Cases. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, Feb. 21. (Special.) The county treasurer of Polk, In which Des Moines is situated, presents figures making the remarkable shewing tbst by reason of the tax ferret law this county has been enriched by about 1150,000 in taxes ths psst year. Reports show tbst in the ststs mors than a million dollars has been col lected under the contract with the tax fer rets and that the stste of Iowa has received over 1100,000 as Its share of the collec tions. ' ' But the Isw Is ssld to be driving many rich persons out of ths state" and to causs the Investment of Iowa funds in other states, and is therefore deemed objection able. The county treasurer and county of ficials, however, are strongly In favor of continuing the law as at present at least tor several years. "a Congressional Contest. m Ths congressional contest In the Seventh district has assumed peculiar phases. Ths republican county central committee meets tomorrow and may change the date of the primary, setting it for a later date. Ths dste was originally fixed for March 10, in order to get la far ahead of the primaries in Story country.. It was regarded as cer tain that Story county would go for Judge Prouty for congress, snd this . would in fluence the result In Polk county. The friends of Congressman Hull controlled In Polk county aad set a date earlier than Story. They now reallte tbst ths date is too early. Laat week the republican city committee, which had set the city plmary for March 7, changed to March 10, so as to havs city and congressional and county and Judicial contests all at ones. Now the county committee contemplates making a change to about the 25th of March, but Is threatened with retaliation from Story county by moving up ths primaries there to an earlier date. The campaign Is bslnl conducted along such lines. Inasmuch as it Is a fight which can be settled In this county alons, the contest la unusually warm. , Charch Quarantine Lifted. The churches of Des Moines resumed meetings again today after being closed for one week because of the smallpox quaran tine. Two Appeals Coming. ' It Is expected that at aa early date two important murder trials will come to the Iowa supreme court on appeal. One is the Linhoft cass from Mason City and ths other the Hunter case from Ringgold county. Iowa Capitol Ventilation. Some time ago the senate appointed a committee to make investigation 'of the ventilation and heating of the state cap itol and to And oat if posslBle why there was so much had air " In" many of the rooms. This committee was headed by Dr. s.ujiutsri m. Atlantic ana it nas mads a thorough Investigation. The report will show that the capitol ventilating apparatus nas not been well managed. Fight Over a Woman. two men engaged in an affray on East Court avenue this evening, which came near ending seriously for one of them. They were William Boalan and Richard Witter, tne former a blacksmith, and their quarrel was over a woman in whom both were In tercated. Witter had a revolver and shot four times at Boslan at short range, but was so drunk that he shot wlds of ths msrk, except one bullet, which struck button on Boslan's coat and mads a wound in his breast, but did not enter tho body. A Might Alarm. Worse than an alarm of fire at night ia the brassy cough of croup, which sounds like the children's death knell, and it means death unless something is dons quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never falls to give instant relief and quickly cures ths worst forms of croup. Mrs. P. L. Cordler of Mannlngton, Ky., writes: "My 1-year. old girl had a severe' cass of croup; the doctor said she could not live.

A. Bays Condition of Aooonnta ii Good, UND1 NEEDED FOR WORK IN NEIRAtKA s.mW of What the Association ma Dolus at Heme mm Abroad Work Is Being jatende to All Corners of Globe. YORK. Neb.. Feb. 23. (Special.) The Saturday morning service of the Young Men's Christian association was opened by memory-verse service, conducted by Julius Shenherd of North Plaits. . This was followed by Dr. Tyler's third blbls read in nresentlna: First Corinthians. W. O. Prle of Lincoln, treasurer ot the state ex ecutlve committee, presented the financial statement for the part of the year to date. Although laboring under adverse conditions and under enlarged work, the financial con dition was exceedingly good. The Omaha quartet favored the audience with a selection, after which Dr. n. o. Ward spoke on the outlook for the future. He told ot the great opportunity and con sequent obligation reatlng upon the asso ciations of Nebraska for an extended move ment into unorganised parts. To accom pllsh this strong financial backing la ab solutely essential. F. L. Mills of Omaha then presented the financial needs tor ths coming year. It had been recommended that the state committee bo authorised to raise $2,600 for the atate work for the coming year. By unanimous vote it was decided to raise halt of this during ths present convention. The subscription called for showed a return ot between $800 and $900, and it is confidently expected that the remaining part will be raised during the convention. There waa read a report on the state committee's report. The committee con aratulated the associations ot ths state upon the efficient work of the state com mKtee during the past year and especially upon the work of Bute Secretary Bailey, who has been on the field but six months Among other details of business was rec ommended a summer camp for association leaders and workers of Nebraska. The re port was unanimously adopted. During the morning a number ot greetings wers received from other conventions in differ ent parts of the country. These were re plied to and ths greetings of tbs Nebraska associations sent In return. On tho calling for Invitations for next year'a convention, Secretary Wolfe of Grand Island extended invitation to tho associations ot ths state In behalf of the pastors and board of directors of the association of his city. The invitation was referred to a commit' tee. ' The session then adjourned with In vocation by Rev. Knickerbocker. All ths delegates dined together at Fraternal ball, where the lunch was prepared .by the women ot the Baptist church. Field Secretary's Address. Ths afternoon session was opened with a praise service, led by Mr. Chaffee of Omaha. The principal address of the after noon was given by C. K. Ober, Held secre tary ot the international committee. Mr. Ober spoke upon association work in or gsnlxed points at home and abroad. Mr. Ober reviewed the rapid growth of the as sociation during ths fifty years of Its ex istence. Thers are at present 60T success ful city associations tn the cities ot largest sixs in North America. These associations havs buildings valued at over $2,600,000. In theao 607 cities the young men com prise one-fifth of the whole population. Moreover, there are in thess cities 186,000 members. An Interesting fact is shown in ths larger per cent of the young men which smaller cities havs in ths sssoclation membership over ths Isrger cities. .This, says Mr. Ober, Is an encouraging outlook tor ths sxtenslon of the association move ment into these entailer towns. Thers srs at least 600 cities with sn aggregate ot 800,000 young men where organised work could be made successful. To do this thers must be an Increase in the number of men entering sssoclation work. There will be needed 1.000 new men to occupy positions besides those already established in organ ized poinu. We have, besides ths North American movement, association work of ths North American type tn Paris, Roma, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Stockholm. These associations ars ths product of the North American movement.
