ESTABLISHMENT IS NOT OBLIGATORY Connection with Ontslde Independent Companies to Bo Made la Klgnteen Months or Franchise Is Forfeited. If the city council concurs In the recom mendation of the commutes of tho whole an ordinance will be passed granting the Westerr Iowa Independent Telephone, Tele graph and Terminal company a franchise to establish a local exchange and telephone system la the city of Council Bluffs. This lii the company organlied by T. D. Metcalf, Dr. D. Macrae, Jr., and their associates. The committee of the whole haa decided upon an ordinance which, while not mak ing it obligatory on the Western Iowa com pany, gives it the privilege to establish a local telephone exchange in the city In con nection with a toll system to connect'wltn the Independent companies now operating In this section of the state. All of the clauses in the ordinance as drafted by the city solicitor and submitted by the special committee which prohibited the establish ment of a second local telephone exchange have been stricken out and there Is noth ing now in the ordinance, as It has been approved by the committee of the wholo to prevent the company from placing as many 'phones as it likes In the city and maintaining a regular exchange. Inconslderatlon of the granting of the franchise the Western Iowa company Is to pay the city 2 per cent of Its gross earn ings for the first Ave years, 8 per cent for the second five years and 5 per cent each year thereafter and to provide the city with ten tree 'phones. The ordinance pro vides that the company , shall' begin work within six months from the taking effect of the ordinance and to be completed within eighteen months. Within eighteen months the Western Iowa company Is to make such arrangements as to establish connections with the lines ot the companies belonging to the Iowa State Independent Telephone association as will enable its patrons to communicate with the subscribers of said companies. Failure to furnish these con nections will forfeit the franchise. The company is to furnish tree connec tions for' its patrons to all subscribers within a ten-mile radius of the city east of the Missouri river. - The rentals to be charged for 'phones are' as follows: Business Houses One party line, $36 a year; two party line, $24 a year; three party line, $30 a year; four party line, $18 a year. Residences One party line, $34 a year; two party line, $18 a year; three party line, $14 a year; four party line, $12 a year. One section Is intended to prevent dis crimination on the part of the company and provides that It shall furnish either indi vidual or party- telephones to any person In . ti,e city making application for such service on condition that the applicant shall . agree to pay for such service for a period of one year. ' The ordinance If passed by the city coun cil will have to be voted on by the people at a special election. THOMPSON IS NOT SO JOYOUS Most Remain Away from Council Blaffs far Six Year and Get Mall at Fort Madison. Andrew Thompson, who was brought back from Chicago Sunday by Jailer Martin, stated he was glad to be back In Council Bluffs, but he undoubtedly changed his mind yesterday morning, when Judge Wheeler of the district court sentenced him to six years In the penitentiary at Fort Madison. Thompson entered a plea of guilty to breaking into and. robbing the Currle hardware store at Underwood, for which he was under Indictment at the time he escaped from the county jail last June. Thompson anticipated that by pleading guilty and saving the county the expense of a trial the court would deal leniently with him and was greatly surprised when Judge Wheeler announced that he would go to the penitentiary for six years. Thompson was believed to have been the ringleader of the gang which broke Jail and in passing sentence Judge Wheeler took occasion to read the priaoner a severe lecture. At the time of his Indictment Thompson told the court that was not his right name and declined to give the right one, as he said he did not wish to bring disgrace upon his parents. To Judge Wheeler yesterday he stated that Thompson was his correct name. Frank Woods, Indicted for breaking Into the meat market of C. Nicholson on Broad way, on the night of March S last, when he stole a few pennies and a plugged 25 cent piece, also entered a plea of guilty and was given one year In the Fcrt Madison .penitentiary. Thompson and Woods wtll be taken to Fort Madison today by 8beriff Conslns. John Thordaen, against whom two s0j ments were returned for breaking Into the premises of Mrs. Susan Thome and Mr?. M. A. Quick, In Garner township, and steal ing a large number of chickens, was ar raigned and pleaded not guilty. John S. Heller, charged with robbing Dee Wbelan of Neola ot $35; John Fahey, charged with breaking into a Rpck Island freight car and atesllng a quantity of mer chandlte, and Frank Bcangs, charged with attempting to rob Carl Torjan, were a' si arraigned and entered pleas of not guilty. Judge Wheeler does not expect to take up the criminal ralendar until about the second week In May. The district court jury in the suit of Daniel J. Duval against the Motor Com pany required but one formal ballot to return a verdict for the defendant com pany. The jury waa out not exceeding ten minutes. Duval sued for ll.OTS damages for being ejected from a car for refusing to pay his fare and for being tamed over to the police by the train crew. This makes the second damage suit against the motor company which has been decided In its favor this week. The trial of the suit of George O'Brien against the Motrr Company, slmllnr to that of Duval, was eontlnued on motion of the plaintiff. , O'Brien was ejected with Duvat and he also sued for $1,999 damages. Judge Wheeler yesterday banded down his decision In the suit brought by the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company to restrain the Mason City Fort Dodge Railroad company from crcas'ng Its tracks at the Intersection of Fourteenth street and Ninth avenue, denying the application for a temporary Injunction.

The prompt assistance rendered by Miss Rohrer and Miss Smith, trained nurses, who live in the vicinity, did much to prevent serious results. They succeeded In restoring the men to consciousness before the arrival of physicians. Delay , and Bennett were removed to their homes and it Is expected will be able to resume work 10 a day or two. The accident was due to a defect tn a "stopper" the men were placing In the pipe. RE-ELECT THREE TEACHERS Board of Education Transacts Con siderable Miscellaneous Baslneas. The Board of Education last night re elected Miss Luclle Porterfleld as super visor of music, Mrs. Emma D. Ingalls aa supervisor of penmanship and drawing and Mrs. Lulu M. Hardman as supervisor ot kindergartens for another year, beginning next September. Member Gorman entered a vigorous protest against the election of a kindergarten supervisor at this time and insisted that some change ought to be made In that department of the city schools before the commencement of the new school year. The finance committee reported that it would take $130,000 to maintain the schools for the ensuing year and on its recom mendation the board certified to these amounts as needed for the several funds: School house fund, $20,000; contingent fund, $35,000; teachers' fund, $70,000; free text book fund, $5,000. The report of the committee showed that the bonded Indebtedness of the school dis trict Is $229,000, the annual interest on which at 4 per cent, amounts to $9,160. Ot the bonded Indebtedness $67,000 will have run five years on July 1, 1904, and the com mittee recommended whatever remained In the school house fund after paying the in terest be used in retiring bands. This wtll enable the district to retire $10,000 ot the outstanding bonds. Chairman Keller of the committee on buildings and grounds made an extended and detailed report of the repairs needed on the various school buildings. The total cost of these repairs the committee esti mated at close upon $5,000, of which nearly $3,000 will be needed to be expended upon the Bloomer school. Regarding the beautifying of the school grounds the committee had this to say: "There appears to be a growing sentiment among the people of this city to make their residence properties as attractive as possible by keeping their lawns and park ings In the best condition. In line with thla sentiment a movement has been started for the beautifying of the grounds sur rounding our school buildings, which, to say the least, are not at all attractive from an nrtlstlo view point. Tour com mittee believes thla sentiment should be encouraged. Our grounds can be Improved at little expense to the district, aa our janitors can take care of the work with the assistance of the teachers and pupils, who would undoubtedly be only too glad to help. Tour comml'.tee has not taken any steps In this direction for spring, but suggests that this work be taken up In time next year by the buildings and grounds committee." The repairs as recommended by the com mittee will be carried out during the sum mer vacation. The resignation of Mis Minnie Boehnlng of the twentieth Avenue t school was ac cepted., '- N. T.

Snyder, the Union Pacific switchman killed Monday afternoon in the Transfer depot yards, re sulted in the Jury bringing in a verdict to the effect that Snyder came to his death by being crushed between engine No. 1250 and a train of cars and that the cause ot his death was attributable to the negligence of the crew operating said engine.

Peter Monson and John Ol son, the crew In charge of the switch en-, gine which was said to 'have backed a train of cars onto the same track on which Snyder's train was standing. Foreman Lee and his crew testified that no signals were given to warn the switch ing crews In the west end of the nrds and they were not even aware of the accident until half an hour after It happened. None of the other crew was able to state who gave the orders to move the engine away from the east end train of cars to repair the coupling and there was no evidence to show that any such order had been given. Snyder's remains were' taken to his for mer home in Peoria, III., last evening by bis brother Fred, who arrived here yester day morning. Mrs. Snyder accompanied them. Park Board Forces Settlement. The park board, at its weekly meeting last night decided to stop the county grad ing a road through Lake View park. By taking this r.ctlon the park commissioners expect to bring the Board of County Su pervisors to a settlement of the contro versy over a strip of the Huntington lot adjoining Falrmount park. The county si " fiseinlon of the Huntington lot through foreclosure of a r-hool fund mort gage and found that a considerable por tion of the holding hid been fenced In wl'Ji Fairmont park. The park board Is de sirous of keeping this strip, but objects to paying the $200 demanded by the county. At last night's meeting the commissioners were ot the opinion that the county should forego Its claim for the Huntington lot strip in return for being permitted to grade a road for the benefit of the publie through Lake View park.

CONDITIONS GOOD FOR FIELD WORK Contract Let for Railroad to Ran onthweat Irons Near Dee Molnea Through Iowa Into Kanaaa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. April II. (Special.) A movement has been started here for the amendment ot the laws ot Iowa relating to the question of unanimous verdicts from juries. It la proposed that the lawa shall be amended so that unanimity shall not be required In all cases, but a modified form ot verdict is possible. . It Is proposed, for instance, in criminal matters, that while a unanimous verdict s to be required in all cases where a life sentence or hanging may be Imposed, yet In other cases ot felony a two-thirds majority ot the Jury may convict and In misdemeanor cases a majority may determine the guilt of the person. It Is asserted that such a law has been put In force In Missouri and Its constitutionality has been upheld by the supreme court. The same gradation will be applied in civil cases, a committee of attorneys and others Interested in the bet ter enforcement of law and especially In terested In the enforcement ot the liquor laws of the state, has taken up the agita tion for the modified verdict law and will present It to the legislature next winter. It Is contended that the supreme and other courts are not required to-And unanimous decisions and there Is no reason why a Jury of men unlearned in the law and many ot whom are Incapable of deciding ques tions should be required to find a unani mous verdict. Members of the State Bar association are In favor of the reform. Iowa Weather and Crops. The weather and crop report Issued today by Director Sage of, the bureau gives the following Information: The week began and ended with cool, wet and cloudy weather. The daily average I temperature waa from two to four degrees I below norma', t and on several moraines the minimum was at the frost line.

The amount ot rainfall has not been excessive except in limited portions of the esstern districts, but in all sections many fields or parts of fields are still too wet for feeding or plow ing.
