NO NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS Beard Fails to Include Question in Call for Annual Election. REGULAR FUNDS HARDLY SUFFICIENT Conklderablr Speculation Delng I a dnlaeil In ns to WUo Will Be the Itepnbllran Candidates for Board Members. If the Board of Education decides to build an addition to one of the two schools In the Sixth ward to meet the constantly Increasing demands of that portion of the city, or to complete tho addition recently erected to tho Pierce atreet building, it a 111 be compelled to defray the expense out of tbe school house fund. Tho board had contemplated asking the people to vote on propositions for special levies for these buildings, and It waa understood at the last meeting of the school directors that as soon as tbe finance committee had Made lta report the matter would be con sidered. Tbe board, however, has failed to take any action and the election notice has been published without any mention of these propositions, consequently they cannot be brought before the voters at the election next month. Whether the school bouse fund will be sufficient to enable the board to meet the demand for additional facilities In the Sixth ward and complete the addition re cently constructed at the Pierce street school, Is said to be very doubtful. The board. It is said, would have taken the necessary steps at its last meeting to bring these proposition before the voters at the coming election but for t'ue objec tions of Director Gorman, who Insisted that no action be taken until the finance committee had made its report. The school election will be held Monday, March 9, and the voters of the Independent School district of Council Bluffs will be called upon to elect two members of the Board of Education, who shall serve for three years. Polling; Places Named. For the purpose of 'his election tbe dis trict has been divided Into six districts, the extent and polling places being as fol lows: The First precinct consists of the First ward of the city of Council Bluffs, la., and all territory of the school district contigu ous to said ward and lying without the limits of said city. The polling place will be at the Wheeler & Hereld building, 124 East Broadway. The Second precinct consists of the Sec ond ward of said city, and the polling place will be at 536 West Broadway, The Third precinct consists of the Third v.-ird of said city and all territory of the ti-hool district contiguous to said ward and lying without the limits of said city, and the polling place will be on South Main street. The Fourth precinct consists of the Fourth ward of said city, and the polling place will be at 602 South Main street. The Fifth precinct consists of the Fifth ward of said city and the polling place will be at the county voting house, corner of Fifth avenue ond Twelfth street. The Sixth precinct consists of the Sixth ward of said city, and the polling place will be at the voting house on the corner of Avenue B and Twenty-fourth street. . The 'polls will be open at 8 a. m. and close at 7 p. m. J . Tha republican school convention to nominate two candidates for tbe Board of Education will be held Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in tbe county court bouse. As the time draws closer interest in the pos sible action of the convention Increases. While it is generally believed that Colonel Davenport will be accorded one of the nom inations, friends of B. M. Sargent, president of the board, whose term of three years expires this spring, Insist that be is en titled to a renomlnation without having to make a fight for It. Mr. Sargent, while be has male no effort to secure a renomlna tion. Is understood to be willing to accept it. He bas told bis friends that if his record on the board for the last three years did not entitle him to a renomlnation with out having to seek it, he was willing to withdraw. Mr. Sargent Is one of the busi ness men of this city who believe that the school board should be removed as far as possible from politics, snd being of this belief, he has steadfastly refused to make a campaign for renomlnation. If the people desire that he should serve another term on the board he says he Is willing, but he will not seek tbe office. Without any special levies :he ensuing year the finances of the school district will have to be moet economically administered. The report of the finances for the year Just closing, made public according to law, shows that all of the funds are overdrawn. The contingent fund is overdrawn $8, 171. 80, being about $6,000 less thin it was over drawn a year previously. The teachers' fund Is overdrawn $3,768.91. being nearly $2,000 less than it was In February, 1902. The schoolhouse fund is overdrawn a little over $2,000, whereas In February. 1902, It bad a balance on band of about $1,300. Democrats Select Delegates.

"mike 11 TO OLD DISHES WEAVER UPSETS THE PLANS Indicates He Favors Ignoring Silver Is ro in Ooming Campaign. SHAPING BOOM FOR WILLIAM R. HEARST State Hoard f Control Objects to (lianalna Route of Railroad 1 Thronfth ;len wood lustl tntc Groan da. (From a Stan" Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Ia.. Feb. 23. (Special.) A presidential boom for William R. Hearst, of New York City, millionaire newspaper owner. f:eshly ,'ntroduced to politics In the cast, is to be launched before tho public on the occasion of the Jefferson day banquet of the free silver democracy of Iowa In Des Moines on tho evening of April 2. Preceding the banquet, where 300 select democrats arc to be seated at $1 50 per plate, there Is to be a conference In which will be' outlined the campaign pro gram for the democratic party of Iowa this year, and preparations made for such or ganization as will essure to the "Kansas City platform democrats" as they chooso to call themselves, tho undisputed control of tbi party In this state this year and next. It was not originally planned by those who arranged for tbls banquet that It should go any further than to give direction te state politics, but events are shaping themselves so that something more is re garded as inevitable. The banquet was planned to get the free silver men to gether and to get them to acting In con cert and for some definite thing. A few weeks ago a banquet was given at Waterloo where ex-Gorernor Boles was the central attraction, and Judge A. Van Wagenen of Sioux City delivered himself of a ca-e-fully prepared address advocating govern ment ownership ot railroads and taking radical ground on many subjects. Ha avoided reference to the coinage question. His sddress was taken to be a preparation for vhls candidacy for governor this year, and as an indication that he would be put forward by the "reorganlzers" of the dem ocratic party. A majority of those -vbo were at the Waterloo Jackson day banquet have acted with the party right along, but are known to favor the dropping of Bryan and free silver. And so the Jefferson day banquet was arranged especially to offset this movement and to get the free silver Ites together for a fight to control tbe next state convention for platform and ticket and party organisation. To make the Jefferson day banquet a suc cess W. J. Bryan was invited to be chief speaker without restriction as to the time he will be allowed to take. Tbls was suf ficient to Indicate tbe purposes of tbe con ference snd banquet; but there was added the fact that next to Bryan the chief speaker was to be General James B. Wea ver. At once it was regarded as certalu that the meeting was to crystallize senti ment for Weaver for governor, that around blm the free silver forces might rally to the defeat of the reorganlzers. This pro grsm Is unchseged so far as the promoters of tbe banquet are concerned. Weaver I'paets Plans. But General; Weaver, who is in the south boring for. ,ok bas disarranged affairs by writing back bis disapproval with Judge Van Wagenen for . candidate for governor on a platform virtually ignoring free silver. He desires that the banquet be broadened and that tbe reorganlzers be Invited to join with tbem at 'the feast. It therefore be comes plain that , the more conservative of the reorganlzers and the free sllverites aro working in harmony and that the state campaign will be a compromise with a con servative man for candidate. As a part of hls program there appeared on the scene last week Mr. Charles E. Rus sell, publisher of Hearst's Chicago paper, a former Iowan and well known among the olfier democrats of the state. He spent a week In tbe state making careful In quiry as to the situation and when he went away announced he would return and at tend the Jefferson day banquet. It became known that bis real mission here was to Induce all factions of the democratlo party to get together for a state campaign this year and make the fight on issues related to the tariff, mats, foreign policy and op-' position to Roosevelt; and incidentally to bring to the attention of the democrats the candidacy of William R. Hearst for president next year. If the feeling Is right some action will be taken looking to hav ing Iowa democracy enlisted for Hearst. Tbe action will be taken with the full knowledge and consent of the free sliver men. They will make it plain that while they are not ready to turn against Bryan or to turn down the platform he prepared, they recognize bis unavailability for fur ther leadership, and the absolute neces sity for turning to new Issues. Boone nnd Northwestern Work. Contracts have been let the past week for the building of a portion ot the Boone & Northwestern railroad. This portion con tracted ior Is an extension of the line from Frailer to Boone, eight miles', and from Gowrle to Rockwell City, eighteen miles. At the same time surveyors are at work on the route south from Boone. It Is expected the line will pass through im portant coal fields In Polk and Jasper counties and by a new terminal gain en trance Into Des Moines. The company is headed by Hamilton Brown of Boone. Insist on Old Route. Members of the Slate Executive council and of the State Board of Control have re turned from Glenwood, where tbey held a meeting to consult with Superintendent Powell of the State Institution for the Feeble Minded and with the officials ot the Burlington railroad. As the result of their conferences an agreement was reached that in accordance with the sug gestion of the members of the Board of Control, the location for the new depot of the railroad la to be moved some dis tance further west. It was too near tbe state grounds and the bosrd felt that to leave it there would be to make It dis agreeable for the Institution. It was also decided that the carriage way from the main road to the feeble minded Institu tion shall remain as planned last winter by the Executive council. The railroad people desired to make a abort cut for tbe road and rvold so much .road building, but the council derided It should be built as originally planned and in accordance with tbe agreement made between the state and the company. Repent Institution Cantata.
