FIX THE MARRIAGE RECORD
Well Known Business Kan Complying with
Law in Eli Native Land.
RIGHTS TO PROPERTY ARE INVOLVED
Records In Netherlands Resjalre Mock
Greater Accuracy Than is Vsaelly
Observed In tbe Inlted
States.
Mar Bourlclus, the well-known music
dealer on Broadway, secured yesterday from
Judge Wheeler of the district court an or
der correcting the record of his marriage
in this city In order that the requirements
of the law in tbe Netherlands, his native
country, might be fully compiled with. Mr.
Bourlclus expects to become heir to prop
erty In hie native country and this made
the correction of the marriage record hers
necessary.
The full name of Mr. Bourlclus Is Mar
lnus Bodinua Louis Bourlclus, and that of
his wife before her marriage to him, Jo
hanna Pauline Louise Lohan. They were
married In this city July E, 1887, by Rev.
T. J. Mackay, then rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal church of Council Bluffs. The
marriage record did not contain their full
names am above, but only their initials,
and there were several other abbreviations.
The law In the Netherlands requires that
all names of persons and places be spelled
In full, and the record was, by Judge
Wheeler's order, so corrected yesterday.
The law of the Netherlands also requires
that all persons under the age of SO, before
being married, must publish the marriage
bans three times, with sn Interval of four
teen days between each time, with the
statement of the parents' consent. This
Mr. and Mrs. Bourlclus failed to do, and
fearing that In the future it might cause
trouble, they had the bane properly pub
lished in the native country, and then, on
July 13, 1888, had the marriage ceremony
again solemnized, this time before Justice
of the Peace E. S. Barnett.
' Both Mr. Bourlclus and his wife expect
to Inherit property at some future date in
their native country, and In order to pre
vent, by some technicality In regard to
their marriage, any trouble for themselves
or their children in obtaining the Inher
itance they had the records corrected to
comply with the provisions of the law In
the Netherlands. The certified copy of the
corrected record was forwarded yesterday
to bis native home by Mr. Bourlclus.
BIDS ARE ALL BEYOND REACH
Addition to Pierce Street School Can
not De Bnllt with Money
. Voted.
As the figures failed to come within the
amount appropriated, the Board of Educa
tion last night rejected the three bids re
ceived for the building of the rour-room
addition to the Pierce 8treet school. Ii
was decided to modify the plans so that
tbe addition can be built for the $8,000 ap
propriated for the purpose by the vote of
the people at the school election. The mat
ter waa referred to- the committee on
grounds and buildings to confer with the
board'a architects, Messrs. Cox ft Schoent
gen. The bid of Wlckham Bros, waa $11.
S90. Including plumbing and heating. That
of John P. Weaver was $12,210, figuring the
heating at $1,185 and the plumbtng at
$1,225. George Hughea' bid was $11,800, fig
uring the plumbing and heating at the same
figures as contained in Weaver'a bid.' Wlck
ham claimed to be the lowest bidder by $11,
aa hla figures for plumbing were subject to
deduction according to the material used.
All of the figures on the plumbing were
subject to changes, sccordlng to material
used, making It impossible to determine
which was the lowest bid unless tabulated.
Hughea had failed In his bid to figure on
the heating and he was permitted to add
the amount for this work, the other bid
ders consenting, ss they had all used the
same figures, furnished by the same plumb
ing firm of this city.
Several suggestions for modifying the
plana were mads, one of them being to
only partly complete the addition this year
and ask for another appropriation at the
next achool election. After a lengthy dla
cusalon, during which Member Macrae pro
posed that the building be deferred until
material and labor became cheaper, tbe
matter waa referred to the committee on
buildings and grounds to confer with tbe
board'a architects and report at the next
meeting.
The aecretary reported that all outstand
ing warrants had been taken up and that
the district waa now on a cash basis, there
being a email surplus in the building fund
and about $1,000 in the contingent fund.
The committee on fuel and heating was
authorized to secure plana and bids tor
a steam heating plant In the Avenue B
achool to replace the furnace which waa
worn out.
It waa decided to place the toilet rooma
In tbe basement of the Bloomer achool In
stead of in the yard.
The grand piano in use at the High school
for the last year waa ordered purchased at
a price of $375 Instead of paying a rental
of $50 a year for it.
Tbe board decided to Join with the prop
erty owners on Voorhls street and petition
the council to lower the grade of that
street four' feet. This will improve the
grounds at the rear of the Pierce street
school. It was decided to request ths city
council to establish a permanent grade on
MeGee avenue, on which the Harrison atreet
achool abuts on one aide.
It was decided on tbe recommendation
of Superintendent Clifford to retain Charl
Bailey, chief Janitor at the High achool.
during the aummer vacation months as
watchman and custodian of the building
at $50 a month, he being required to aleep
in the building. Mr. Clifford auggested that
aa the building contained many valuable
books snd other supplies, a watchman there
waa neceaaary.
The report of Superintendent Clifford for
the eighth months of school ending April
25. contained these statistics: Entire en

William Donaldaon. employed by the mo
tor company at Lake Manawa. has been
missing from his home on Avenue A,' be
tween Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth
streets, since Monday morning laat. and
his family sought the assistance of the
authorltlea to try and find him. Hla wife
and members of the family tear he haa
met with foul play. He la 51 years of age
and baa been la tbe employ of the motor
company as engineer of one of the steamers
on the lake for the last six weeks. He
worked Sunday, and Monday morning left
hla home for the purpoae of going to the
lake as usual. He waa attired In his or
dinary working clothes and had $25 in cash
with him. He failed to report at tbe lake
and no trace has been obtained of hlra
alnce he left hla home. It waa thought that
he might have gone to Avoca, la., where
he formerly lived and where he haa rela
tives, but Inquiry yesterday showed he had
not been there. A married daughter, Mrs.
Jacoberger, resides in Omaha, but he had
not been there. Mra. Jacoberger waa In
the city yesterday and was much alarmed
over her father's disappearance. Mr. Don
aldson la a man of regular and exemplary
hablta and his family can give no reason
for his leaving his home. His domestic re
latione are said to have been of tbe hap
pleat. Smallpox Anions; Graders.
The fact that three smallpox patients
from tbe grading campa along the grade
of the Great Western railroad have drifted
into the city to be taken care of la viewed
with alarm by the health authorities. Dur
ing the week three men suffering with
smallpox have been sent to the peathouse
by the local health officera, the third being
taken there yesterday afternoon. He gave
the name of W. J. Baton and said he had
been working In the camp of the Batea ft
Rogers Construction company since last
Monday. Aa the grading campa are located
outside the city limits the municipal health
authorltlea take the position that cases of
smallpox arising in them should be cared
for by the county and not by the city.
There was talk yeaterday of the city health
board demanding that the county super
visors take the necessary ateps to quaran
tine the grading camps In which smallpox
haa developed.

HOLDS CONTRACT BINDING
Building and Loan Company Hurt Mature
Stock u Promised.
GRAND ARMY MEN ALL RETURN HOME
Iowa Farmers Complain ef Too Mneh
Rain and that Planting and Cul
tivating Is Delayed
Thereby.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 23. (Special.) The
supreme court in a decision in a Council
Bluffs case today rendered an opinion which
will stand aa a precedent in matters re
lating to building snd loan associations
and their duty to carry out contracta. It
waa ths case of Elltabeth Field against
the Eastern Building and Loan aasociation.
She had become a atockholder to the amount
of five shares of stock of $100 each. The
contract stipulated that in aeventy-elght
montha the stock would mature on pay
ments of 75 centa a month.
The plaintiff lived up to her part of the
agreement, but when she attempted to re
cover the amount of tbe stock she waa In
formed that tbe estimate waa wrong and
that ahe would have to continue payments
If she desired to mature the atock. Many
questions were raised In the trial, but the
court devotee greatest attention to the con
tract, it atates that the contract waa not
an Informal, hastily prepared memorandum,
but a part of a carefully devised plan of
business. "The great body of the patrons
of such associations is made up of men
and women of limited experience," says
Justice Weaver in the opinion. "Not one In
a hundred of them, though of fair average
intelligence and caution, would put upon
the contract any other construction than
the plaintiff did."
A determined stand has been taken by the
court on questions of repudiation of con
tracts of this character, Tbe opinion says:
"It is repugnant to the very accepted defi
nition of contract that one party ahall be
clothed with a right to repudiate lta obli
gation In whole or part while holding tbe
other in strict compliance with lta terms.
"There Is nothing In the nature or organ
ization of the defendant which can or ought
to relieve it from the performance of Its
contracts. Tbe fact, if it be a fact, that in
the end it may not be able to pay the
claims of other members Is a matter we
cannot consider. We are not charged with
the duty of winding up the affairs of the
corporation or settling the rights of mem
bers ' upon a final distribution of its assets
if any. Our only duty at this time is to
construe tbe contract on which suit la
brought and to enforce it accordingly. The
action ia held maintainable."

The relatives and friends of Charles
Harmison of Dcnova are considerably wor
ried over his disappearance. For some
months he has been sick, but recently has
been able to get out and visit around. He
was In Mount Pleasant for a few days and
a short time ago went to Burlington for a
visit, but he has mysteriously disappeared
and the parties with whom he stayed do
not know what became of him. It is feared
that Illness haa affected his mind and that
he has wandered away and some accident
possibly befallen him.
