City. . ,
County Attorney Killpack hat served of
ficii nolle on Mayor. Morgan that the
aaloona of the city must, be run In con
formity with the, provisions of the mulct
law and that the change In 'existing con
ditions must be made not later than th4
twentieth of this month. While so far
Mayor Morgan and other members of the
city administration bar declined to dis
cuss the matter, they made no secret of
the fact, that the county attorney's notice
comes as a veritable thunderbolt at this
particular ' time, ' when the city Is about
to figure on Its revenue for the ensuing
year. .
In the evtnt of the county attorney In
sisting on the saloons running according
to the mulct law. It means that the city
will in all probability lose half of the .In
come derived at present from this source.
There are about forty saloons In the city
paying an annual license each of $1,000,
which goes into the police, fund and con
stitutes one of the main sources for the
'general fund, as when the latter fund runs
short the surplus In the police fund Is
transferred to it.- It has always been con
tended that many of the saloons could not
keep open and make expenses If compelled
to abide strictly by the requirements of
the mulct law and that the greater lum
ber of them would be forced to close their
doors and go out of business.
Under the mulct law the saloons cannot
open before S a m. nd jaust close at 10
p. m. They oftnnot . open on Sundays or
holidays ' and: can have' no side of back
' doors. Further they cannot maintain
screens ' or any obstructions In the win
dows so 'that' patrons' of the bar may be
visible to, any passerby, on the street out
side. (

What motive County 'Attorney Killpack
has in making this sudden move the city
officials are at a lose to understand, al
though It Is concede! that It is in his prov
ince to enforce the mulct law if be feels
so disposed. . The county . attorney's, sud
den activity In this direction, however,
came as a great and equally disagreeable
urprtaeto the mayor and other city of
ficials, who regard It as a hard bio to
the city; especially " when the munUi?M
lty's flnanoes are at such a low ebb as at
prevent and will be during the ensuing
fiscal year.. 'Without the .usual . revenue
dorlved from the saloon licenses '.he r)ty
officials are at a lose tp see ' where' suf
ficient revenue can' be derived to maintain
the Are and police 'departments consistent
with the needs of the city. UoiU depart
ments are paidjrooi thr general: MaiV the.

present assessed valuation of , vhnTeUy
bring In little .'more than :$J6.000; 'an
amonnt entirely Inadequate . by Itself to
maintain the several department of the
municipal government.
City officials when apprtaed of the- county
, attorney's move were Inclined to the1 opin
ion, although they admitted they had no
evidence to Justify it, that the motor com
pany was back of It, They say 'that ' to
enforce the mulct law in the city would
result In driving all the trade of. '.he sa
loon to Lake Manawa on Sunday T;d
week- nights. One city official in discussing
the 'matter yesterday declared that if
County Attorney. Killpack persisted In en
forcing the mulct law la the city, ne wuld
be called upon to do the same regarllng the
taloona . at; Lake Manawa and - rtsewnere
throughout the entire county. There ao
doubt from- the expressions of the city
authorities yesterday that the saloons and
other resorts .at Lake Manawa .wil) o
forced to comply with the law thexanue as
In this .city If the county attorney adheres
to his resolution regarding th r'cens
within the city limits. . . '
In view of the notice served 'by the
county attorney on the mayor. It is ex
pected that a special session' o Ihe' city
council will be called this week to dlssoss
the situation.
SCHOOL ELECTION ON TODAY
Indication Aro that Both th Repab
Ucaa Candidate Wilt B
li Klit4.v :
While a great many people. are of i the
opinion that politics should enter as llttlo
as posslblo Into a ret.ool election, It Is
generally conceded tnat there Is no plausl
vi. iinn vhf the two republican nom
inees for members ot the Board ot Edu
cation, Colonel W. J. Davenport and Gran
ville P. Kemp, should, not receive hand
some majorities at the hands of the electors
In today's school election.- Both are more
than usually well qualified tor the position
and If elected will devote their time and
ability to furthering the Interests of the
schools of the city. '
The democrats are making their cam
paign on the alleged Increass In the ex
penses la maintaining the schools, but they
refrain from making ny reference to the
Increase In the number et children now at
tending the schools requiring additional
teachers and other facilities. They make
no mention ot the new high school build
ing with Its Increased enrollment, and con
sequently Increased faculty. As the city
grows, so naturally must the coat of main
taining the publle schools Increase, but
this the democrats'. ' In urging the placing
of the Board of Education In control of their
rty, do not mention. That the schools
ot Council Bluffs were never In a better
and more prosperous condition Is gener
ally conceded by those who give the matter
their earnest attention, and during the last
few years, while the. board has been re
publican in 'complexion, the schools have
gained a reputation throughout the state
and west they never attained before.
The polls will open at t a. m. and close
at T p. m. Under the new law, any voter
whoee name is not on the registration lists
prepared by the Board of Education will
be required to register before he can cast
bis ballot. Registrars .-will be In. session
11 day at the various polling places.
For the purpose of the school election the

ing this afternoon Is expected to op.n
the bids for the sale' of a site for 'the

to be Sled before noon today In the office
of M. F. Rohrer, ' president of the' board.
The selection of a site by the beard is
being watched with great" interest by the
people generally.''
The consensus of opinion appears to be
that the building should be On one et the
sites facing Bayllss park. 'Th members
of the board have, while awaiting the filing
of bids, refrained from impressing their
opinions, but It is Understood that they
all are In favor ot on or other of the sites
proposed facing the park. . There ere
many who insist that the library should be
on the car line and for . this' reason favor
tne site at' the southwest corner . ot Pearl
street add Willow avenuei 'There' are,' how
ever, others who favor the site north ot the
Merriam block, fronting both on Mala and
Pearl streets. 'The Moore property at the
southwest "corner' of Sixth and .First ave
nue has Its advocate, while some. favor
erecting the building Just west of the Elks'
club house on First avenw. A-aovas
among the leading business and professional

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, March . (Special.) The
board of trustees of the Iowa State college
have been called to meet at Ames, March
26 next, for tbe purpose of opening bids for
the construction of the new buildings for
the college provided tor by acts of the leg
islature and under the epeclal tax levy
which makes possible the beginning of
construction work' on a systematlo scale.
The buildings for which plans have been
prepared are a four-story stone central
college building, a stock Judging pavilion,
two greenhouses and an addition to the ag
ricultural hall. The atone central building
will, coat upwards of $250,000 when com
pleted and work will be commenced upon
It at once, though it la not expected It
will be finished as soon as some of the
other work for which provision has been
made. The stock Judging pavilion is some
thing which has long been needed for the
agricultural department. The plans for all
this work have been approved by the build
ing committee of the trustee and contrac
tor are now figuring on the work.
It is regarded as highly Improbable that
the matter of the presidency of the college
will be settled at this meeting, thouch it
will come up in dome form and the com
mittee In charge will be asked to make a
report of some kind. Governor Cummins,
who has been In the east and south and
who Is head of tbe committee on presi
dency, may be able to give some informa
tion at that time. The action of the State
Agricultural board, the State Corn Growers'
association and other bodies In utglng the
selection of Prof. Curtlss is regarded as
highly favorable to him, and the members
of the faculty, it I understood would be
pleased with hi selection. . t

Blaraxalst Corvls Active Agala.
Some yesr ago a sensation was created
by the discovery that one Curtis, or Tbomss
or Scott, who-was engaged in running -a
daily - paper at - Anamosa, was a bigamist
and bad several wives, from none of whom
had he been divorced. It was found also
thst his pretensions to financial backing
were all a sham. He was active In re
ligious work and made many professions ot
piety, and he was found to be great on
getting into the good graces ot tbe women.
Curtis, was sent, ta th penitentiary tor his
failure to patronise the divorce court, and
served a short term In th Anamosa prison.
He got out some time ago and went to
Illinois, Now Information has been re
ceived .that he has turned up In a .small
town in Illinois, where he started a weekly
paper with nothing but assurance and soon
thereafter departed, taking with him much
money that he obtained by questionable
mean.

Blow with av Declsloa,
Nearly a year ago a test suit was brought
to determine whether or not the new law
of Iowa relative to concerns engaged -n
what is called a "home co-operative" busi
ness could continue .in . business without
complying with the building and loan law,
which would subject them to some state su
pervision. This was submitted to a judge
of the district court here and he retained
it all summer and fall, finally declaring
the entire law to be unconstitutional. He
promised that he would render a written
decision, giving the reasons for his deter
mination, but this has not been done, and
the slowness of the court Is causing con
siderable comment, as a number of the
companies are continuing In business and
there Is no chance to get the mat'er finally
settled through a decision pf the supreme
court. '

After all, there isn't very much difference between a woman and a. man.,
Both sexes have pains and aches pretty much alike. And yet it is commonly
believed that when a woman suffers from pain she
has "female trouble." Very often this is not
6trictly true, as that phrase is understood. It
would be just as ridiculous to say a ; man had
"male trouble" when he suffered.
Omega Oil relieves most of the pains and
aches of women, as ' well as of men. .:, It . gives
great relief to the squeezed up flesh and muscles
alter a corset is taken off. It
does wonders for a weak,
tired, aching back. It takes
lameness out of the shoulders,
soreness out 'of the limbs and
feet, and quiets pains and aches
in the flesh, muscles and joints
of. the whole body.
Women are advised to first
take a refreshing bath in the
morning or evening, and then
rub Omega Oil briskly into the
aching parts. A brisk rubbing
not only gets the Oil
into the pores, but quick
ens the circulation of
the blood. This
stimulates and
does lots
of good.

th Indian in his weird ghost dance, ac
companied by it forbidding song; he mim
icked the wolfs blood-chilling cry and
he built a fire on the stage In traditional
savage fashion by rubbing two stick of
wood together.
"The Indian as I Know Them" was the
title of hi lecture, and If not a fertile
a aubjeot a "Wild Anlaml I Have
Known." It showed Mr. Thompson Seton at
hi beat. ' Th only notice the lecturer
took of the ' time-worn description of tbe
Indian wa when he decried them.
The apeaker painted the Indian In a
aew hue, vested him with a new character,
of which a high sense of morality was ths
keynote and aavagT7 only an atom of Its
composition. The lecture waa Intended
primarily for the entertainment of chil
dren, and It 1 doubtful if any of his
youthful hearer will ever again dread
meeting with a red man. The cigar eigne
will no longer carry terror to the youthful
minds that aoaked up everything Mr.
Thompson Setoa gald.
- Tbe lecturer pictured th Indian aa a
man to whom stealing and thievery Is an
unknown trick, a man who Is only to be
feared when he is on the warpath, devoted
to hi children and hi squaw, domestic
In his tastes, thoroughly, appreciative of
the gifts of natur. humane in hi lnstincia,
and If not a Christian a careful observer
of the ten commandments.
Mr. Thompson Beton mingled with hla
description of Indian character and cus
toms stories that imparted pictures of In
dian life to his child bearers, with a vivid
ness that thrilled and made them hold
their breath with Interest and awe. Every
story had a moral woven into it that made
the parent glad tbey baa nrougnt tneir
children. He told the little people that
Indian wouldn't kill even a mouse or any
animal which thry could not eat. He tola
the story of an adventure In Ottawa during
which he and his party got lost In the
woods, and being obliged to spend the night
away from their tents and their wagons
returned In the morning to find that a
band of Indians had passed the caravan
during the night, but rather than steal
some molasses which they wanted had
camped nearby to swalt the return of the
Americans In the morning to effect trade
for the ymp.
Wks th Real ladlaa I.
Mr. Thompson Seton Introduced hi ub
ject by declaring that, as all boys are
bound to play Indian, they might as well
play th gam right.
"There are two current idea of the In
dian," he said. "The one la the Fenlmore
Cooper Ideal and the other the filthy brute
of yellow western Journals. Both ideas are
wrong. The truth is midway between, but
a little nearer to the Cooper ideal than the
yellow journal picture."
Mr. Thompson Seton declared that the In
dian first learned the white man's vice and
afterward the white man' virtue. Th
reservation Indian, he said, is not the true
Indian. Whisky has to a great extent
changed his nature. The lecturer drew an
other striking pfrallel between the Indian
and the whit man when he told tbe answer
ot a Crow chief to the charge tbat Indians
are cruel In war.
"Yes," mused the aged chief, who had
visUed Chicago with Buffalo Bill, "we are
cruel to our enemies, but tbe people of
Chicago ar cruel to their own people.

'' Then thw leotuver told tba-ohlldrea of hin
visit to the Sioux at Tine Ridge last July
and described' the great ghost dance ha had
een.. ., .' , ,t , . , , ;
'"I had expressed a desire to see the
great chief Short Buffalo,' who had led tbe
ghost dance In 1891 and had been on the
warpath ever-since,' he said, "and I was
told that his trlbespeople did not know hi
whereabouts, but that ho would return-on
tbe day ot the' ghost dance and lead his
tribesmen In their weird frolic." The In
dians had gathered- for the' dance, said
Mr. Thompson Seton, when suddenly an old
man "with tbe gleam of a, maniac In his
small eyes and attired In the full costume
of an Indian chief danced Into the circle,
singing his- wild ong like this " .
Then Mr' Thompson. Seton crouched to
the position taken by the Indian and as
stealthily as any brave ever circled around
the 'dance arena the lecturer . gradually,
worked into the Intricacies of the great
ghost dance, singing all the while in the
native tongue a song that grew louder and
more ominous with every verse. When he
had finished the children shouted with do
light. They stamped their feet and clapped
their hands, and would not be stIU until
Mr. Thompson told them bow to play In
dian In the woods .themselves.
