8 mar siesta Bowlevsurd te Manawtu
Colonel W. P. 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.

tions which have been pending for some

THREATENS TO SHOOT HIS WIFE
William Upends Seventy-Five Cents
(or Hcvelver (or (bat
Purpose.
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. Chlsem went
to the GUinskl home last evening and asked
to see his wife. He was told she had gone
to Omaha. Entering t,he house, he saw her
hiding behind a door. He Invited her out
into the yard and she deolined tbe invita
tion. The police were notified, and when
Chlsem saw Officer Callaghan he took to
his heels and ran. The officer fired one
shot after htm and thla made Chlsem run
all the faster. He ran down tbe alley back
of Pearl street and hid In an areaway of
the Grand hotel, where be waa found by
Officer Kirk.
Chlsem claimed he carried the revolver
as he had heard that McKlnney, who ar
rived from Shenandoah three daya ago,
was out looking for him with a gun. Chlsem
formerly lived In Red Oak, but some months
ago went to Shenandoah, and from there
came to Council Bluffs. 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.
James Boise, a passenger on an east
bound Burlington train, whose actions In
dlrated that he 'was mentally deranged,
waa taken from the train at the transfer

Boise had a ticket from Denver to Joy,
111. Letters found on him shewed that he
had been In 111 health and that a brother In
the Illinois town had forwarded him money
to pay bis way there. Boise waa sullen

HAIR N ATI RALLY ABUNDANT.
When It Is Free of Dandruff, It Grows
Luxuriantly.
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.

(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.
