AFTER LIBRARY-BUILDING
Board of Truiteei Will Make Another Effort
to Levy Tax to Purer w Bite.
HOPE TO INDUCE CARNEGIE TO ASSIST
Owner of Bnlldlngr In Which Library
la Sow Located ISotlfled ( Com
ply with Law Retarding
Fire Escapes.."
The Board of Trustees of the public
library, at it meeting yesterday afternoon,
acted on two Important matters. It de
cided to renew the effort to create a sink
ing: fund for the purchase ol site (or a
permanent home for the library and In
structed the secretary to notify Nathan
M err lam, owner of the building In which
the library is at present located, to comply
with the state law requiring that all three
story buildings be equipped with fire es
capes. One year ago the library board attempted
to levy a 3 -mill tax far the purpose of
creating; a sinking; fund for the purchase
of a site for a library building, bat the
city council refused to certify to the levy
and the matter was permitted to drop, al
though seTeral members of the library
board were of the opinion that the city
council exceeded it authority. Blnre then
the law governing the power of library
boards has been amended so as to ma
terially Increase It. Library boards now
not only have the right to levy not ex
ceeding S mills for library building pur
poses, but have the right and authority to
condemn property for sites for public li
brary buildings when necessary or deemed
advisable.
B. A. Troutman, W. S. Balrd and T. E.
Casady were appointed a committee to. take
this matter in hand and to provide ways
and means for securing a site for a library
building. The trustees hare hopes that in
the event of being able to secure a site
they will be able to Induce Mr. Carnegie
to provide the funds with which to erect
the building.
This reaolutton regarding Ore escapes
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, In compliance with the Inten
tion of the act of the last general assembly
of Iowa, which will take effect July 4. Mi,
that Nathan Merriam be nouned by tne
secretary of the board of said statute and
he be mUeated to comply with the same.

INSANE OVER THE KIDNAPING
Connell BlnSTs Woman Imagines Per
petrators of Csdahy Crime
Ar After Her.
Mrs. Kate Feeley, who became mentally
deranged a year ago .over the Cudahy kid
naping case, was taken to the Insane aslyum
at Clarlnda yesterday, the commissioners
having decided she was Insane. She was
brought here from Troy, Y., by Deputy
Sheriff Aakln of that city.
Mrs. Feeley formerly resided on a farm
In this county and the board decided yes
terday that her legal residence was still In
Pottawattamie county, although It is more
than a year since her husband lived here.
. Shortly after the Cudahy kidnaping case
Mrs. Feeley became seised with the hallu
cination that she had witnessed the perpe
trators of the crime divide the $25,000 paid
by Mr. Cudahy for the return of hie son and
that In consequence they were following her
with the intention of murdering her. She
was placed In St Bernard's hospital and
on March 28, 1901, was sent to Clarlnda.
At that time her husband, Mike Feeley.
who owns a large farm In this county, was
working and living In Omaha. In December
Mrs. Feeley was paroled In charge of her
husband and on April 8 was granted a dis
charge. Recently the old delusion regarding the
kidnaping case again took hold of her and
her husband decided to send her to rela
tives in Maine. She had a violent spell in
Chicago enroute east and called upon the
train crew to protect her from the kid
napers. At Troy she became so violent
that ahe had to be taken from the train,
snd the insanity commissioners there or
dered her taken back to Council Bluffs.
Mrs. Feeley is 47 years of age and appears
to be perfectly sans on all matters ex
cept the Cudahy case.

The right of the motor company io main
tain Its fence across the public highway
at Manawa so as to exclude the public from
access to the lake front except through
Its enclosed grounds will oe tried before
Judge 8cott In the superior eourt-Thurs
day. The attorneys for Chrtsman Rob
aids, an eastern firm owning soma 120 acres
of land at Manawa, falling to reach any
agreement with the motor company, yester
day applied to Judge Scott to fix an early
date for hearing the petition for an In
junction to restrain the motor company
from fencing up Third street and Portland
avenue which was filed a few weeks ago.
Third street Is the thoroughfare on which
the motor company bad its tracks last
summer but which this season has been
fenced In as' part of the lake resort. Thla
road ran direct from the city to the lake
front and eeveral buildings. Including the
Country club house and Colonel Beck's
saloon, fronted on It: Portland avenue ran
east and west and directly on the north
side of Shady grove. This street with tbo
grove has this year been fenced in by the
motor company as part of its grounds.

Telephone Franchise

would make any definite statement, devel
opments yesterdsy Indicated that the Coun
cil Bluffs Independent Telephone company

mittee of the whole of the city council

not In the local company's were added to
and Incorporated In the latter's ordinance.
The terms of the franchise was placed
at twenty-five years and the company will
be required to begin the installation of
Its system within alx months from the pas
sage of the ordlnsnce and complete It
within two years. If the company Is hin
dered In its work by Injunction proceed
ings the city council may extend the time
for completion If It so thinks fit.
The ordinance provides that the com
pany shall furnish the ctty with free
telephones for the use of the city build
ings and furnish the schools with eight
'phones at half regular rates. This latter
provision was Inserted on motion of Alder
men Huber, supported by Aldermen Cas
per. Alderman Lougee stated he was In
favor of the schools taking care of them
selves. Under the ordinance the company will
have to pay the city annually 3 per cent of
Its gross earnings.
The rates to be charged by the com
pany are the same as In the original ordi
nance and are as follows: Rates for bus
iness houses, one psrty, special line, $36
per year; two parties on aame line, 24;
three parties on same line, $20; four par
ties on aame line, 118. Rates for resi
dences, one party, special line, $21 per
year: two parties on same line, $18; three

Creston Is Hnvlnc a Boom.
CRESTON, la., June 9. (Special.)
Creston has never experienced a boom, but
the steady, gradual growth of ths past
tew years seems to have culminated thla
year In the greatest building epidemic of
Its history. The contract for the new $100,
000 government building has been signed
and work on it will commence at once. ThJ
Masonic temple and opera house, costing
about $75,000, will be completed before
fall. Work U being rapidly pushed on the
electric street railway sd4 Creston-Wlnter-set
Interurban electric line. Two new
additions to the city have been laid out
and platted. Work has almost been com
pleted on the fair grounds. One brick busi
ness block has been completed and sev
eral more are under contract to be erected,
or the owners are figuring on the cost of
replacing frame with brick structures.
Much money Is being spent on ths two pub
lic parks of ths city. The Burlington rail
road will maks extensive repairs snd en
largements to lia reuo4 bouse to accom
modate the larger enginre now being used
by the road; It will also build new roal
chutes snd make very great changes In
the yards, and about thirty new residences
ere being erected In different portions of
the city, ranging In price from $600 to
$3,000 each. Besides the building therj
never was so much painting, Improvements,
additions or repairs to houses already built
as Is being done this yesr. the carpenter
snd painters not being able to secure
enough men to finish all their contrarta.
Altogether It la a conservative estimate to
say that over $500,000 will be expended
in building. Improvement and repairs la
Creston this summer, and laborers of all
kinds are very scarce snd bard to get.

dyspepsia Ciace
Some people wonder why pepsin preparations don't
help their dyspepsia. They probahly suffer because
.they can't digest foods that pepsin does not affect.
The reason is, pepsin digests only nitrogenous foods,
while different substances are required to digest the
. variety of other foods necessary for proper nourishment.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains all the digestants, and
is capable of completely digesting every kind of food.
That is why it digests what you eat and allows you to
eat all the variety you want; and that is why it cures
indigestion, even after everything else has failed. As
t is the only preparation of the kind known, the de
mand for it has become enormous. Its use affords in
stant relief from all forms of stomach trouble.
