AMOUNT WITHIN THE PRESENT CITY LEVY Matter Has Been rending for Lone Time, bat Trustees Had Been I'nable to Ret In Tonch with Donor. Andrew Carnegie has offered to con tribute $50,000 for a public library building In Council Bluffs. The offer la made In the following letter received yesterday morning by W. 8. Baird, member of the board of trustees of the free public library: Andrew Carnegie, 3 East Ninety-first Street, New. York. Jan. 6. 1903 W. S. Baird. Council Bluffs, la Pear Sir: Re sponding to your letter In behalf of Council Bluffs, If the city agrees to the resolution of the council to maintain a free public library at a cost of not less than $5,000 a year and provides a suitable site for the building, Mr. Carnegie will be glad to furnish IfiO.OOO to erect a free public. library building for Council Blnffs. Respectfully, JAMES BERTRAM. Private Secretary. Trustee Baird was a member of a com mittee appointed by the' board nearly two years ago to take up the matter with Mr. Carnegie, but for some reason the com mittee was unable to get in touch with the multl-mtlllonalre. Last year the board de cided It might have better success If It took steps to secure a site for a building before again approaching Mr; Carnegie. A levy of 3 mills for this purpose wss recom mended by the board and approved by the city council. This tax, now In course of collection, will realize nearly $11,000. At this time another special committee was appointed, of which Congressman Smith was a member. The assistance of Genera". Dodge was sought and the latter agfe,d to bring the matter before Mr. Carnegie If possible. The matter, however; dragged along without result and last June Trustee Baird decided to take it up on his own account. His first letter to Mr. Carnegie, dated June 14 last,, brought an answer shortly after Christmas, when Mr. Baird, received a blank, which he filled out, giv ing a statement of the population, assessed valuation of the city, library fund re sources and other statistics asked for. This brought forth further Inquiries and on December 31 Mr. Baird wrote, assuring Mr. Carnegie that the city would bind itself to expend from $5,000 to $7,000 for the maintenance of the library. The letter re ceived yesterday from Mr. Csrnegle was the result. The trustees will ask Mayor Morgan to call a meeting of the city council Monday night, at which the aldermen will be asked to adopt a resolution binding the city .to expend not lees than $5,000 annually for the maintenance of the library. This will be a mere matter of form, as under the present levy the library fund amounts to $5,450 and could be legally Increased to $7,000. The law permits the city to levy 2 mills annually for the maintenance of its library, but in fixing the levy last August the board decided that a levy of IVt mills wss sufficient. The library is at prtsjnt located In rooms on the third floor of the Merrlam block, for which an annual rental of $900 Is paid. The expense of maintaining the libray, not taking into account the purchase of new books. Is about $4,000 per annum. CITY WINS 0UTJJN TAX CASE County Cannot Collect on Lots Owned by City on West Broad way. The city scored an Important victory yesterday in its suit to enjoin the county treasurer from collecting taxes on some 100 lots owned by the city on West Broad way. The lots in question became the property of the city on foreclosure for spe cial taxes and it was contended on behslf of the municipality that as they were held for public use and were not acquired for pecuniary profit,' but only to secure debt due the city and not held for rent or In crease of value, they were exempt from taxation. Judge Thornell sustained the con tention of the city, ordered that the tem porary injunction be made permanent and that the taxes be cancelled. The city had regularly paid taxes on these lots up to this rear, but this year decided to raise the question of Its liability, and the lots were advertised for sale with the other delin quent property by the 'county treasurer. Judgs Thornell'i ruling Is considered an Important one, as It Is believed here that the question involved was raised for the first time In this state. Divorces were granted to Bertha M. Smith from Ellis T. Smith, Hattle Crane from F. W. Crane and Sarah D. Gould from William T. Gould. The suit of Fllckinger Bros., attorneys, against the Sterling Manufacturing com pany, was settled out ot court and dis missed. , The personal Injury damage suit of James Burke against the Northwestern Railroad company was ordered transferred to ths federal court. In the $10,000 breach of promise suit of Leona Macklson against Dr. J. W. Frailer ot Honey Creek, the plaintiff was ordered to put up a $75 cost bond. Mrs. Mrrgaret A. Oelst of this city se cured an order of -court yesterday annull ing her marriage to James A. Geist, who was recently committed to St. Bernard's hospital as Insane, 'and who was yesterday taken by the Nebraska authorities to ths Hospital for the Inssne at Hastings. The court alto restored to Mrs. Geist her for mer name of Mrs. Margaret A. James. She Is the daughter of John E. Hill. 1129 Fifth avenue, this city. Mrs James was married to Golst August 5, 1901, snd her applica tion for annulment of the marriage was based on the grounds that shortly after the marriage she discovered that her husband was a paroled patient from the Inssne hos pital at Hastings and had formerly been an Inmate of both the Lincoln and Norfolk asylums. The trial of the suit of John I. Redlck ot Omaha against the City of Council Bluffs 1 snd the County Treasurer, involving the right to levy taxes sgalnst certain prop erty In West Council Bluffs on ths west side of ths river, was begun yesterday. Judge Thornell adjourned court last even ing until Monday, when an assignment of law causes will be made. Twenty per cent discount on all clothing at Metcalf's. Mora Tronbla for Shoemaker. Mlnard Shoemaker, who obtained an over coat and other articles of clothing on an alleged forged order from the firm of Smith ft Bradley, will not ba called upon to stand trlsl on ths charge, as the Brand 1urv r- tn session yesterday returned "no bill igslnat him. This, however, will not let hoemakar out ot Jail, as ths action of It grand Jury practically was due to an agree ment with the North Dakota authorities. Shoemaker Is wanted at Bottineau, K. I)., to answer to the charge of forging and cash ing two $50 checks. Sheriff Nelson of the North Dakota town arrived yesterday with a requisition for Shoemaker and will start home with blra this morning. Nelson ssys It Is a clear case against Shoemaker.

SUSPENDS ELEVATOR SERViCE Tnless Order Is Rescinded It W ill Be Case of Drill Hereafter In Fed. eral Bonding. Postmaster Hazetton received an order yesterday from the department at Wash ington to suspend the elevator service In the federal building except during sessions of United States court. This order comes as the result of a recent report from the inspector of supplies for public buildings. The inspector reported that in his opinion there was not a sufficient number of offi cers and employes occupying offices In the building to warrant the continual service of an elevator. Tho elevator Is run by water pressure and the government pays $500 annually by contract to the water works company for supplying the postofnee building with water. This, it was claimed by the Inspec tor, was excessive and the closing down of the elevator service was suggested by him as a means to reduce this expense. This contract with the water company does not expire until July 1, so the only saving that can be made until then by closing down the elevator will be the salary of the conductor, which Is $42 a month. Postmaster Haxelton, as custodian of the federal building, will make an effort to have the order rescinded, as lawyers and others having business In the building dally have already protested against the elevator service being . done away with. The collector of customs has his office on the fourth floor, where are also located the dormitories of the railway mall clerks. The offices of the pension examiner and In ternal revenue collector are on the third floor, while the court rooms and offices of the clerk of courts are on the second floor. It is expected that a petition signed by the attorneys and others having business in the building protesting against the sus pension of the elevator service will be sent to Washington.

Acting on the opinion of the county at torney the board decided to reject the bills of the newspapers which published the city notices for registration for the November election and) only to assume half tho ex pense of the registration books supplied by the Nonpareil company, leaving the city to bear the other half. Annual pre-lnventory sale at Metcalf's. Seek to Take Child from Mother. A. W.

ARRANGE FOR DEDICATION Special Eat for Iowa Soldiers to the Old Battlefield of Shiloh. DES MOINES HOPES TO BE SEAT OF SEE Andrew W ilcox, Who Was Arrested In Booth Omaha, Creates Dlatarbance at State Capitol and Is Bent to Insane Aaylam. (From a Stuff Correspondent) DES MOINES, Jan. 8. (Special.) The committees of the Iowa Shiloh Monument commission, In charge of the dedication ex ercises and transportation matters, held a meeting here this morning and arranged preliminaries as fsr as they can be ar ranged this far ahead.

B. Soper, Emmetsburg. The contractors are getting along well with the construction of the Iowa monuments.

The Iowa commission has been allowed by act of tho legislature to use the unex pended balance ot the general appropriation, amounting to nearly $5,000, to cover the expenses of the dedication ceremonies. Des Moines Has Hopes. The members ot the Catholic church here are much Interested in a dispatch from Rome stating that the congregation of the propaganda is studying a new division of the archdiocese of Dubuque. The setting apart of the northwestern portion ot the state as a separate see last year was re garded as a wise step and the bishop at Sioux City Is now getting fairly started. The Catholics of the southwestern part of the Btate have been trying to have a new see created with Des Moines as the see city, but have met with rebuffs because of the opposition of Bishop Cosgrove at Daven port. It is believed, however, that on the death of Bishop Cosgrove, or In case of his transfer elsewhere, there would be a divi sion of the diocese and establishment ot a bishop In Des Moines. Wilcox Sent Back to Hospital. Andrew Wilcox, who was arrested In South Omaha a few days ago and by the board of Insanity turned over to his brother, who srrived from Guthrie Center, came back to Des Moines today and, proceeding to the state house, raised a disturbance.

It turned out that he was out of ths Insane hospital on parole only and was sup posed to be In the care of his brother in Guthrie county. He will be taken back to the state insane hospital at once. Rock Island Connection. There hi a well developed rumor afloat that the Rack Island management has In contemplation the ' building this year of a short connecting line between the Fort Dodge route and the Cedar Rapids divi sion, the line to run from Fort Dodge east to Dows, in Wright county. - The two im portant branches of the Rock Island run ning to northwestern Iowa are a part of the time parallel, but touch at no points. A connection such as indicated would be of vast benefit to the system, but if done would probably mean also an extension of the Ruthven line to a connection with the Cedar Rapids division. Dies In the Penitentiary. News was received here today of the death In the Fort Madison penitentiary of Elijah Heathcote, who was sent there from this city last year to serve ten years on conviction of ' burglary: While Heathcote, was convicted of burglary, his real offense was that of trying to kill his wife.
