ing by the Board of County Supervisors to
Wlckham Brothers of this city on their bid
of 119.440, their bid being the lowest bo
fore tho board.
Aa the bids were considerably In excess
of the amount the board had expected to
expend on tho buildings, several of the su

to award the contract to the lowest bid

DEADLOCKED OYER DITCHES
Auditors ml County Boards Stand Pat on
Original Declarations.
INJUNCTION PETITION READY TO FILE
Claim is Made that Successful
Bidders Hare No Rla-hts What
ever Vnder Bids Sub
mitted by Them,
There were no developments yesterday
tn tho controversy over the award of the
contracts for tho construction of the
Harrison-Pottawattamie county drainage
ditches. There was no break In the dead
lock between the boards of supervisors end
the auditors of both counties. The super
visors still adhere to their refusal to ex
tend the time for the completion of the
work and Auditors Innea and Huff take
the stand that tho supervisors have noth
ing to say in the matter.
' When tho supervisors of tho two counties
got together and established the1 drainage
district It was provided that thfe construc
tion of the several ditches should be com
pleted by July 1 of next year. This was
one of the conditions of the establishment
of the Joint drainage district. , Auditors
Innes and Huff Insist that tho work can
not be completed by July of next year and
tnat under tho authority vested In them
In the letting of the contracts they have
the light to extend the time for the com
pletion of the work as they deem fit.
Unless the auditors recede from the
position they have taken the courts will
be called upon to arbitrate the question,
as tho papers In an Injunction suit to re
strain the auditors of the two counties
from awarding the contract as contem
plated by them have been prepared and are
ready for service at any moment. In the
event of tho controversy being taken Into
tho courts, work on the ditches may be de
layed for an Indefinite period.' As a proper
and equitable solution of the controversy,
It has been suggested that all the bids bo
rejected and that a new call for bids be
published. It is contended that even If
tho auditors were empowered to extend
the time for the completion of the work,
it Is very doubtful If they have tho tight
to award the contract to the Chicago Canal
Construction company and the Brown com
pany of Washington, Ind., Inasmuch cs
both companies submitted bids on specifi
cations of their own and not according
to the specifications furnished by the coun
ties and called for In the published adver
tisement. Tho bathing beach at Lake Manawa Is a
most alluring place these hot days.
OLD MAN DROWNS IN THE CREEK
Supposed to Have Fallen 1 In and tn
Enfeebled Condition Unable
to Get Ont.
i . i
Patrick Qtlday, an aged and feeble Inmate
of St. Bernard's hospital, wandered -away
from tho Institution yesterday -morning
after breakfast, and a few hours later was
found drowned In Indian creek. As ho was '
88 years old and extremely feeble, it is
presumed that while standing on the bank
of tho creek he stumbled and fell into the
water and that his death was purely acci
dental. After investigating the facts Coro
ner Treynor decided that an Inquest was
unnecessary.
About a year ago tho children of Gilday,
who are all grown up and live in tho
vicinity of Norfolk, Neb., made arrange
ments for the care of their father and
mother for the balance of their lives by
the Sisters of Mercy at St. Bernard's hos
pital. Both were of , extreme age and
feeble. Shortly after their admission to
tho institution Mrs. Ollday died and a week
or so after her death Gilday left the hos
pital and took tho train for hla former home
In Norfolk.
After visiting his children Gilday returned
to tho hospital, accompanied by his son. A
few weeks ago ho was very 111 and for a
time his life was despaired of. He re
covered, but was so feeble tha,t he had to
bo assisted about tho place. After breakfast
yesterday morning he wss sitting in the
yard and on account of his feeble condition
It waa not thought necessary to place any
especial watch on him. When he was missed
a search was at once made for him. It
waa learned that an old man answering his
description had been seen on Broadway
near Frank street and later that the same
person had been seen sitting on the bank
of the creek at the rear of the residence
of a family named Stevens. Search at this
point revealed the body of the old man
lying face downward In the water, which
waa only about two feet deep.
In accordance with arrangements made
by the children the body waa taken In
j charge by Heafey & Heafey, the Omaha
undertakers.

A colored man called last evening at the

avenue, claiming to be In search of work.
A colored man with a similar tale visited
the residence of Mrs.Warren on Glen ave
nue,' At both places after the departure of
the man a gold watch was discovered to
bo missing. It i believed tho same negro
called at both places. The police rounded
up what they presumed to be four colored
men in the railroad yards, but on being
taken to the station one of the quartet
proved (o be a negress dressed In men's
clothes. She gave the name of Cairo John
son and claimed, to be from Kansas City.
The men gave the names of Wlllard Dun
can, John Gordon and A. L. King. 1hey
will be held pending Investigation.

TEMPLE OUT FOR SPEAKER
Indications that Cummini' Friends Are Hot
to Ears it All Their Own Way.
URGE ANTI-CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION
Woman's Clubs Take Question V la
Connection with I.abor Vnlons
Kick on tho Grand Army
v Badges.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Aug. 4. (Special.) Formal
announcement has Just been made of the
Intention of Representative M. L, Temple
of Clarke county to become a candidate
for speaker of the next house, which will
convene In Des Moines In January next.
Mr. Temple will be In that house the mem
ber of longest service, as he haa already
had three terms, while hla chief rival for
the apeakershlp, George W. Clarke of
Dallas, has had but two terms. The two
men were closely associated In the last
house on the leading committees, one br
ing chairman of the judiciary and the
other of the ways and mesne committee.
The candidacy of Mr. Clarke waa made
known at tho time of hla unanimous re
nomination by the republicans of Dallas
county, and It was so well received that
the general Impression was that there
would be no other candidate. It was as
sumed that the friends and followers of
Governor Cummins would have full con
trol of the next legislature, In which case
Clarke would unquestionably bo the
speaker, but the candidacy of Temple
rather Indicates that there Is to be a light
all along the lino and that It is by no
meana certain that the majority of the
members of the legislature will be sup
porters of the governor. Mr. Temple has
been Identified to some extent with the
faction in southern and eoutheastern Iowa
opposed to the governor and which made
the hardest fight against his nomination
two years ago. At any rate, the announce
ment of Mr. Temple adds a little spice to
the campaign at this time, when it has
been supposed that everythlngs was fixed
In advance.
Child Labor Legislation.
Mrs. Alice G. Fletcher, president of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs, haa
called a meeting of the board to be held
at Marshalltown, August 25, to consider the
subject of bllla to be urged upon the leg
islature in the interest of putting a atop
to child labor In all factories. Some leg
islation was obtained at the last session
looking to that, and the compulsory edu
cation law has reference In part to the
same subject, but It Is desired on the part
of the women's clubs, the teachers of the
state and . the 'organized worklngmen that
there shall be other and more effective
legislation to prevent the employment of
children In factories and other places where
conditions are not good for their proper
development. Mrs. Fletcher has Invited
representatives of the different organiza
tions to meet with the board to the end
that they shall 'work together for a law
that will be effective.
Trouble Over Official Badges.
A number of the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic here' and elsewhere
In the state have, protested to Commander
Raymond against the official badge which
haa been procured for the Iowa delegation
to San Francisco, on the ground that the
portrait of the governor of the state should
not have appeared thereon. They claim
that If there waa to be any portrait on
the badge It should have been the features
of some person distinguished in military
affairs and not that of a governor of the
state. The badges were selected and de
signed by Adjutant General Newman on
a resolution of the last department en
campment, and are regarded as very hand
some ones. A great many have been pur
chased by Des Molnea people and by those
who will go on the Journey to the national
encampment, but a number are making
complaints as Indicated.
Iovra Raises Many Hoes,
The state institutions of Iowa are now
nearly all supplied with large farms aa ad
juncts and these are found to be of im
mense value in maintaining the institutions.
Chairman Cownte of the state board, who
has just returned from a visit to aome ot
the Institutions, declares that Iowa la now
the moBt extensive hog raiser in this part
of the country. There are over 6,000 head
of hogs at the various state institutions
belonging to the state of Iowa. At Mt
Pleasant hospital there are over 600 head
and at Independence and Clarlnda there
are more than ever before. In fact, the
state is selling lard and hog products from
these farms, as the herds of hogs produce
more than the state needs, while formerly
the state was at great expense to secure
pork and lard. The hoga are grown with
very little expenae, aa the atata hospitals
have abundant refuse for the animals.
Penitentiary Population,
Tho report ot the warden of the Ana
mosa penitentiary shows that there were
the first of the month just 400 prisoners
there, including nineteen women and two
United States prisoners. There waa a gain
of population of one In the year. During
the month one waa received, two paroled
and ten went out on expiration of sen
tences. The penitentiary school Is well at
tended, considering the condition of the
weather. There were 116 men enrolled and
fourteen women, and the attendance at
achool waa good.
An appeal waa filed today in the case of
Woodson Ragan, convicted of the murder
of Ella Clark and sentenced at Centerville
to fifteen years In the penitentiary. Ragan
and the Clark woman were both habltuea
of foul resorts and the body of the woman
was found lying near a disreputable house
one morning last September. An appeal
has also been taken In the case of Claude
Poe, Harry Miller and Robert Decker, con
victed of robbery In Union county.

central and southern counties and har
vesting In, northern, general little Injury
resulted to crops. Slight damage, how

winds overturning stacks of grain and hay
and lodging uncut grain. The quality of
both winter wheat and oats Is rather poor,
being light weight. Spring wheat and oats
are being harvested In northern counties;
the wheat will be a light crop, due to rust

which was well Improved. Except In por
tions of the northern section, the hay and
grain harvest Is practically completed. All
reports indicate a very heavy crop of hay,
mostly secured In good condition. Thresh
ing wheat, oats and barley Is in progress,
with somewhat variable reports as to the
yield. Generally, however, the output of
spring wheat and oats Is reported to be
below the average In amount and weight
of grain. The copious showers have been
timely and beneficial to trfe corn crop, and
as a whole it haa made fairly good progress.
It needs warmer Weather In the future and
Is now in condition to mature with but
little additional moisture. There are numer
ous reports of damage to the potato crop
by rotting and blight. There Is no special
change in the condition of the apple crop.
