At the meeting of the elty rounril tonight some action looking to the repairing of the paving oa Fourth street, sooth of Worth street. Is looked for.

Physicians report that there are at pres ent close upon 100 cases of typhoid fever In Council Bluffs and there have been several deaths from, this disease within the last month. The prevalence of typhoid fever, many of tbe doctors assert. Is due to a great extent to the filthy condition of the streets and alleys. One physician, In talking of the matter yesterday, said he was surprised thst there was not more typhoid fever than there was with tbe streets in the con dition they now are in. This same phy sician gave It as his opinion that the city council should take some steps to have the streets thoroughly cleaned; that If the money In the streets snd alleys fund was exhausted, which It is, some arrangement should be made to secure funds elsewhere tor this work, which, he said, was abso lutely necessary for the protection of the healtk of tbe community. He suggested thst part of the contingent fund be used for this purpose. More than one complaint has been lodged with the city authorities recently about the filthy condition of the alleys and attention has been called la particular to the con dltlon of the alley between North Main and First streets, north of Broadway. It Is charged that thia alley simply reeks with refuse of all klnda and that no attempt has been made to enforce the ordinance pro hibiting the throwing of garbage In the alleys. Heretofore during the summer months the city has had a health officer who was detailed to notify householders to clean their back premises and the alleys, but this summer, owing to lack o( money In the police fund, this officer was dispensed with, and tbe result now Is that the alleys all over town are In a filthy condition. Broadway, ahich waa given two sweep Ings with the street sweeper after the ma chine was fitted with a new broom. Is at present several inches deep in mud over the greater portion of the street and tbe same condition exists on South Main st rect. Tbe attention of City Physician Houghton has been called to tbe filthy con dition of the streets by other doctors, to which they ascribe the source of much of the sickness now In the city. It Is ex pected that City Physician Houghton will make aome suggeation to the city council tonight and will urge that steps be taken te have the alleys cleaned and kept clear of refuse and garbage. Laeala aiolers Property. William Keaaell, living oa Eaat Broadv, was arrested yesterday charged with dis posing of stolen property. He is alleged to have sold a wagon and team belonging to W. F. Patton of Mynster Springs. The team bad been sold to a man named Gil lnskl and the wagon to E. Whltebrook. Harry Davis, employed by Patton. is also under arrest for alleged complicity In the theft of the team and wagon. Davis drove to Council Bluffs Saturday and proceeded to get drunk, finally drifting over to Omaha where he was picked up by the police. He was unable to give any in formation as to what had become of the wagon and team. He was brought back to Council Bluffs late Saturday night and locked up charged with larceny as bailee. Yesterday morning the police recovered the team from Gillnskl and the wagon from Whltebrook. who both claimed that Kessell had sold them to them. tlve of Pennsylvania. He came to Crescent City twenty-two years ago from Minne sota and waa one of the best known farm ers of Pottawattamie county.

Special Meetta of Seaool Board. Chairman Cooper of the committee on buildings and grounds has requested Pres ident Sargent to call a special meeting of the Board of Education Tuesdsy night to take action on the matter of fire ei cspes for the high school, Washington av enue and Bloomer buildings. By that time Chairman Cooper expects to hare a bid from an out-of-town firm in addition to the two bids submitted by lo cal contractors. Even if the bid of the outside firm Is not received Chairman Cooper stated yesterday that he would not delay matters any longer. Chairman Cooper stated further that there was some question as to whether tre escapes were needed on the Washing ton avenue school or not. He said that Fire Chief Templeton had given it as his opinion that they were not needed, but Mr. Cooper questions whether the board can do else but place tbem on that building, as the law specifically states that fire es cspes must be erected on all school build ings of three stories or more in height. As there are about 800 children attending this school, Mr. Cooper Is of the opinion that the board should carry out the In tention of the law.

(8pecial.) The railroad companies are reluctant to comply with the regulations of the state executive council in the matter of regular monthly reports of earnings on Iowa business and business related to Iowa lines. Some of the companies are making the reports with regularity, but others are holding back.

It is known that the accountants of some of the minor lines have received letters from persons connected with the larger roada making suggestions as to how tbe reports should be made and Intimating that there was an understanding among the com panies that only a part of the Information required by the state should be given. Tbe council called the accountants togethw last summer and discussed the proposed regu lations with them before putting them in force. These regulations are briefly that each and every company must report JARVIS 18 77 BRANDY Dodge Has Xarrow Escape.
