Baker of the Board ot County Supervisors, who has declined to acknowledge the authority of the city coun cil to designate on what itreeU or In what manner the portion of the county road fund lavtad within the city shall be expended. has suggested that the money bo used for constructing a boulevard between the city nd Lake Manawa. His plan Is to construct a well graded highway between Sixteenth avenue and the lake. At present the two thoroughfares most generally used between the city and the lake are low and In rainy season are (almost Impassable. The old county road past of the motor track la formed chiefly ot 'V"ib and In wet weather becomes almost useless for travel. Colonel Baker's plan. It Is said. Is to se cure gravel from the pits at Loveland and use It on this road to Manawa. This, in his opinion, will make it a first-class driveway and one that can be kept in repair at little cost annually. As yet Colonel Baker has made no such proposition to the city coun cil and it is not known whether the alder men will agree to thla manner ot expending Fire city's share of the county road fund. f Tbe streets and alleys committee is anxious to have the money expended chiefly on the street within the city or at least a sub stantial portion of it. Thla question, It Is expected, will come before tbe city council at Its meeting tonight. N. Y. Plumbing Co.. Tel. 250. Night, F67. Refuses ta Go to Peat House.

William Chlsem was arrested last even ing, charged with threatening to shoot his wife and carrying concealed weapons. The "concealed weapon" waa a revolver for which Chlsem had paid 75 cents. Chlsem had trouble with his wife, who is working for a family named Glllnksi on Broadway, and he claims that Roy McKln ney, who followed them here from Shenan doah, has been paying her attentions, which aroused his Jealousy.

His wife placed their children In the care of the Associated Charities In order that she might go out to work. SOME FIGURES ON RAILROADS Over Thirty Thousand Cars of Freight In and Ont of the Blnffa Last Year. Charles K. Taylor, secretary of the com mittee on advertising of the Commercial club, has compiled from the local railroad records some Interesting statistics relative to Council Bluffs as a railroad center. These statistics show that eight great rail way systems center in Council Bluffs, with a total mileage of 48,922 miles. These same railroads reach 9,474 towns, being nearly one-third of the entire number of towns tn the United States which have railroad con nections. During 1902 these eight railroads received for Council Bluffs 1,855,620,145 pounds of freight and during the same time carried out ot Council Bluffs 2,222,234,325 pounds of freight. These figures mean that the railroads handled about 30,389 carloads of freight for Council Bluffs In 1902. The railroads entering Council Bluffs have forty-five passenger trains In and forty-three paaaenger trains out of tbe city dally, making a total of eighty-eight pas senger trains In and out of tbe city dally. The same railroads operate forty-one reg ular frelbgt trains into the city and the same number out of the city daily, making a total of eighty-two freight trains dally for Council Bluffs. It will thus be seen that no leas than 170 trains run in and out of this city dally. Man on Train.

Hair preparations and dandruff cures, as a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs that do no earthly good. Hair, when sot di seased, grows naturally luxuriantly. Dand ruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of all hair trouble, and dandruff Is caused by a germ. The only way to cure dandruff Is to kill the germ; and, so far, the only hair prepara tion that will positively destroy the germ Is Newbro's Herplclde absolutely harm less, free from grease, sediment, dye mat ter or dangerous drugs. It allays itching instantly, makes hair glossy and soft as silk. "Destroy the cause, you remove the effect" dandruff. Sold by all druggists.

CLOSING UP THE STATE CONTRACTS Coancll Blair Firm Gets the One (or Pnttlnar n New Copper Roof on the State Capitol Bnlldloa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 12. (Special.) The question of compensation for the teachers In the schools of Iowa and the betterment of their social and financial condition will be the topic uppermost at the next meet ing of the Iowa State Teachers' association, scheduled for Dee Moines December 24 next. This topic waa decided upon at the last state convention, when the topic was given the State Educational council as a special one to be reported on In one year. Dut aside from this It was decided at the meet ing held here the past week by the mem bers of the executive committee of the as sociation that on tbe program there should be topics like manual training In the rural nd town schools of Iowa, the effect of the new compulsory education law, the better utilization of school property and the lengthening of tbe school terms. Al ready, as the result of the agitation com menced by tbe state superintendent and prominent educators last winter, there has been material Improvement In the wage queetlou as It relates to the teachers of the state and reports indicate that next year better prices will be paid In this state than for many years. Tbe manual training subject has been put before the people fairly and the new compulsory education law Is working well. As a part ot the question ot Increasing the annual com pensation to teachers the lengthening of terms Is being urged. Des Moines will next year have ten months of school Instead ot nine and this Is the tendency In the state. This matter will be given a place on the program next winter. The members of the program committee will be given some time to plan for the work and then a meet ing will be held to exchange ideas. No person has as yet been selected to deliver a lecture before the association. It ha been customary to secure someone from outside the state who Is not engaged di rectly in educational work. State Superintendent Barrett held a conference with county superintendents at Waterloo on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. This week he holds a similar conference in his office in the department of education for the superintendents of central and southwestern Iowa. On Thurs day he also holds tbe last of the series of such conferences In Sioux City. Doty o( Caution at Crossings. The supreme court haa Just passed on a question In relation to the duty of per sons at crossings, not before tbe court in any other case. It was in the case ot Defrlese against the Illinois Central Rail road, In which the plaintiff was injured by a train at a private crossing which was near a public crossing. The question was whether the person crossing had a right to rely on the usual signals given for' the public crossing. The court holds that there is no law requiring any rlgnala at private crossings, but, following the lino of precedents established in this state to their logical conclusion, the man bad a right to rely on the signals which should have been given at the public crossing nearby. Thla does not excuse him from the necessity of caution, which Is required nd expected of every person at every rail road crossing. The question was an en tirely new one. In a suit from Muscatine county the court has held that the county need not pay for the cost of cleaning up premises where there has been smallpox and im posing the disinfection. H. O. McMlllen, United States attorney for the northern district of Iowa, Is plain tiff In a suit Just appealed to the supreme court. He sued the American Express company for the value of a Jersey cow In jured In shipment to his farm at Rock Rapids and obtained Judgment for $143. The company has appealed. Closing- Ip State Contracts. The state capltol commission has Just closed the contract for the new roof to be placed on the capltol building. It will be ot copper and the contract goes to the Grahl-Peterson company ot Council Bluffs for $19,178. The work will be commenced at once. The state capltol now has a slate roof, but it is badly in need of repairs. The contract was let by tbe board of control for a complete system of water works at the state's School for Girls at Mitchellvllle. It includes a large water tank and water mains, with thirteen hydrants and standplpes tn the buildings, so that the state property there will be entirely safe from fire. The board has Just let the contract for two chimneys at the state hospital at Mt. Pleasant and the penitentiary at Fort Madi son, respectively. Tbey will cost the. state $13,900. Refnnd on Account of Indiana. The state of Iowa will soon receive a draft for $7,000 from Washington, which will balance the account of the stats with the United States on account of an out break of smallpox among the Indians on the Indian lands In Tama county. This outbreak occurred while the legislature ot Iowa was In session, and Immediately there was a demsnd that the state authorize the expenditure of money to clean up tbe Indian camp and put c stop to the smallpox epi demic. The legislature appropriated $7,000 and this was placed In the hands ot the president of the State Board of Health, A. M. Linn of this city, and he proceeded to enforce quarantine and have tbe Indians cared for. Most of their movable property was burned and new stuff furnished them. In a short time the smallpox was com pletely eradicated. Tbe Iowa members of congress got through a bill to reimburse the state for the money expended. The account has Just been audited. Shortage of I'nlon Treasurer. When J. B. Herron, treasurer ot the local union of United Mine Worker at Cincinnati, returned to his home after being In Des Moines to attend the mine conven tion he was confronted by his associates with an accusation that he was short over $400 in his accounts with the national officers. He bad collected the assessments on account ot the anthracite coal miners' strike and had not forwarded all the money. He made partial explanation and stood off the committee of investigation for some time, but news from the south part ot tbe state is to ths effect that he has fled. Elect Teeamaeh Teachers. TECCMSEH.
