HOPE CARNEGIE WILL GIVE BUILDING New Board Organise by Election ( SI. F. Roarer as President and Mrs. Dalley as Librarian for Correal Tear. The board of library trustees at Ha an nual meeting yesterday afternoon deter mined to renew Its efforts toward securing a building as a permanent home for the library by levying a 2-mlll tax tor a fund I for tbe purchase of a suitable site on which later to erect the' building, une year ago the library board recommended such a levy, which is empowered by statute, but the city council refused to certify rt up to the county board. A the last census shows that Council Bluffs has a population In excess of 25,000 the law provides that a levy of not exceed ing 3 mills can be made for the purpose of acquiring real estate as a site tor a library building or for the purpose of erecting the building itself. The board was unanimous In recommend ing the levy of this tax and President Rohrer, W. 8. Balrd and Dr. Cleaver were appointed a committee to present the mat ter before the city council. The board haa every reason to believe that if It succeeded In securing a 'suitable site for a library that Mr. Carnegie would be willing to do nate sufficient of his wealth to provide fir the building. The board also decided to recommend the levy of 1V4 mills for the maintenance of the library for the ensuing year. Last year the library was compelled to get along on a 1 mill levy. . . New Board Organise. On the reorganization of tbe board by the eating ot Trustees Balrd, Cleaver and Stewart, the latter two taking the places of E. A. Troutman and T. E. Casady and Mr. Batrd succeeding himself, M. F. Rohrer was re-elected president for the third year in succession. Mrs. M. E. Datley was re elected librarian at the same salary as be fore, 160 per month, and Miss M. E. Sher man and Mrs. B. K. Black were re-elected assistants at the same salaries as last year, $45 per month. Trustee J. J. Stewart was selected as secretary and Mrs. Dailey as clerk ot the board. It was decided to pay tbe dues of the li brary as a member of the State Library as sociation and as a compliment to the presi dent his also. Last year the board paid the dues of each Individual member of the board, but at the suggestion ot Congress man Smith, who attended yesterday's meet ing in his capacity as one ot the trustees. It Was . determined, that .If the Individual members desired to Join the state associa tion they should pay their own uuoe. For several years President Robrer haa attended the state association meeting, paying hi own expenses. The rooms of the public library hay been newly papered and present a greatly Im proved appearance. Certain repairs were ordered and the janitor was allowed 15 for the extra work he had done during the re pairing. President Rohrer asked that he be allowed $28, but the other member-decided that, the smaller amount was ample for the extra work he had performed. The report of the librarian for June showed these figures: Number of visitors, 084; registered book takers, 2,802; number of books taken, 8,266; books In circulating library on July 1, 18,523; money paid for rented books, 3264.40; amount received to date tor same, $264.80. The report of the finance committee showed the balance In the treasury on July to be $2,322.82. Use any soap so lis Pick's soap. N. T. Plumbing Co., telephone 260, HAZELT0N IS NOW POSTMASTER Given Ont tbnt No Changes Will Be Made In the Employes of the Office. Hon. A. S. Hatelton assumed the duties of postmaster of Council Bluffs yesterday, succeeding I. M. Treynor. Tbe legal trans fer of the office was made by Mr. Treynor to Mr, Haselton one minute after midnight Sunday, but neither the Incoming, nor the outgoing postmaster was present at that time, both presumably being In bed sleep ing and dreaming over what was and what might have been. The advent of Mr. Hatelton Into the postmastershlp will, It la said, make no changes at the postofflce. With the excep tion of the deputy postmaster all the po sitions are -held under civil service rules. George T. Fhelps, who was deputy post master under Mr. Treynor, will continue In the same position, at least for the present. in accordance with the usual euetora, Mr. Haielton also beoomes custodian of the federal building, but will not assume tbe duties until Mr. Treynor has had time to prepare an Inventory ot the government property under his charge and close up the other business connected with the of fice. It is said that Mr. Haselton contem plates one or more changes in tbe em ployes under his control as custodian. Mr. Hazelton forwarded yesterday to Governor Cummins his resignation as state senator. It Is unlikely, however, that the vacancy will be filled, aa another state election will be held before the next meet ing of the state legislature. It is possible, however, that Governor Cummins may Is sue a certificate for the election this fall ot a successor to Mr. Hatelton to provide for a state senator from this district In. the event ot an extra session being called. The Council Bluffs postofflce 1c now one of the most important in tbe state, paying salary ot $3,200 to the postmaster,, an In crease ot $100 having been granted July 1. In addition to the regular business the Council Bluffs postofflce receives remit tances from about 300 smaller postofflcea In this district, haa charge of several rural free delivery routes, keeps the payroll for about sixty railway mall clerks and su pervises the immense mall transfer at the Union Pacific depot. t . - The employee at the postofflce presented the retiring postmaster, Mr. Traynor, with a handsome library table as a mark ot their esteem and regard. Mr. Treynor leaves the postofflce after serving two terms with the unqualified esteem ot all the employes who worked under him. Oravel rooflrfg, A. H. rtead. (41 Broadway.

' The Mason City V Fort Dodge Railroad company began suit In tbe district court yesterday to restrain tbe board of county supervisors from establishing a grade Cross ing over what Is known as the Maxfield road In Hardin township. As the road Is at present the railroad in crossing It will irake a cut ot about -twenty feet, forcing the county to erect an overhead crossing over the tracks. W. H. McClelland and others petitioned the county to change the grade and the commissioner who was ap pointed reported In favor of the request. The railroad asserts that a grsdo cross will not be feasible nor practicable, owing to the height ot the embankments on each side and that, further, It would be dan gerous and prevent the company from run ning IU trains In safety. It is further al leged by the railroad company that the county board has not the right to arbi trarily determine the kind of grade and that where a controversy arises it should be determined by a court of equity. It was stated last evening tbat tbe case would in all probability be settled out of court and the petition withdrawn by the rail road company. J. C.

"6ne-third of the oats crop is lying flat on the ground and canbot be saved," 'said Henry' Wallace; 'the well known writer on farm topics, after a return from a trip through the ' rural districts of the atate. "It Is my opinion that the corn acreage In the lowlands and on the flats Is 45 per cent ot the total acreage and nearly ruined. The winter wheat la good. Almost a full crop will be realised. Pastures were never better. If conditions remain normal until tbe hay crop Is harvested a heavy orop will be saved. I do not believe the clover has reached the stage where it can be damaged by the wet weather. It is true that clover , lies flat, on the ground, but It hat -not reached a stage where the: decay, lng-begins. " , ' "I believe the crops this year will be far better than those of 1901. There Is lots of tilling in Iowa this year and wherever you find a farm well tilled you will find the soil In excellent condition for working. In my travels throughout the state I found, of course, a great many fields where the weeds are even- with the corn. These fields were lest frequent, however, than one would naturally i suppose after the 'super abundance of rainfall." Tbe date for the opening ot bids for the new - buildings fet , the Soldiers' home at Marshalltown has been - changed from July 28 to July 81. The new buildings Include an assembly hall, a hospital building, a kitchen, a smokestack 143 feet high, a laundry building, a cold storage building, a nurses' cottage and an Icehouse.
