Tire of Delay on Library.
Jvnerul members of the library board
have expressed themselves as being op
posed to any further delay In the matter
of having the plans tor the Carnegie
building prepared by the architects selected
by the board for this purpose. At the
meeting of the board next Monday night
they will Insist that the. firm of Chicago
architects be notified to come to Council
Bluffs at once and begin work on the
plans. The members who are desirous that
this shall be done contend . that it will
take several months before the plans will
be completed and approved and that if
there Is any furthr-r delay work on the
building cannot be begun In the spring.
President Rohrer, since his return from
Missouri, has consulted with the members
of the board and has found that a majority
of them are In favor of having the plana
drown without further delay: The mem
bers say the board ought by this time
to be able to tell the architects what
kind of a building it wants and there
seems little doubt but . the call for the
architects will be made Monday night.

HOW TO 1RKVKT CROIP,
some Readiaar That Will Prove later-
eetlaar to louna- Mothers How to
Croup is a terror to young mothers and to
post them concerning the cause, first aymp-
tons and treatment. Is the object of this
Item. The origin of croup Is a common
cold. Children who are subject to It take
cold very easily and croup is almost sure
to follow. The first sympton ia hoarseness :
this is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which Is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who ha heard
it. The time to act Is when the child first
becomes hoarse. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given all tendency
to croup will soon disappear. Even after
the croup cough has developed It will pre
vent the attack. There is no danker in
giving this remedy, for It contains nothing
Injurious.

NEW SUPREME COURT RULES
Lawi Recently Effectire Bender Change in
Praotioe Imperative.
OVER THREE HUNDRED CASES FIRST TERM
Members of Republican Stato Com
mlltee Meet to Cheek Orer the
Affairs of the Late Cam.
pala-n.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DK3 MOINES. Doc. 9.-(8peclal.)--The
long-deferred announcement of the new
rules of the Iowa supreme court to conform
to the new laws of the state was made to
day. The rules were ' received from Iowa
City, where Judge MacClaln had thein
printed. The change In the rules wos made
necessary by the fact that the last legisla
ture passed a law requiring the court to
sit practically all the time and to have
a session every month In tho year, the
plan being to have the decisions rendered
as soon after submissions as possible. The
most Important port of the new rules re
lates to the terms. The court provides for
three terms In the year, beginning In
January, May and September, and each one
divided Into four divisions of a month each.
The first part of each period Is to be do
voted to arguments and submissions and
the last half to preparation of opinions.
Cases shall be docketed as now for each
term for the entire state, certain districts
assigned to each period. The first assign
ment has already been made by Clerk John
C. Crockett, with the advice of Judges who
are here, and the docket will run as fol
lows: January 12 Cases from First, Twentieth,
Third and Fourth districts.
January 12 Cases from First, Twentieth,
February 9 Fifth to Ninth districts, In
clusive, March 8 Tenth to Fourteenth districts,
mirt Seventeenth tn Nineteenth districts.
Anril 5 Fifteenth. Sixteenth and
Kli-hteentb districts.
This will be the general order ,of pro
cedure of the districts at each term. It Is
figured out that this will give about 350 1
cases to the first term. It Is provided that
the court shall hear and consider these
cases and determine ." them promptly. In
other respects the rules of the court are
not materially different from the rules that
have been in force for years.
State Committee Meets.
Chairman R. JL Spence of the republican
state central committee arrived In the city

committees, consisting of George C. ' Scott
of Sioux City, S. X. Way of Wesley, Charles
W. Phillips of Maquoketa and W. P. Fitch-
patrlck of Nevada. The purpose of the
meeting was to have these committees go
over the books of the chairman and his ac
counts during the last state campaign and
to check up on 'the same. This was pro
vided for at the. time of the organization
of the state committee at the time of the
republican state convention In July last. It
Is the first time members of the republican
committee heve - got together since the
! close of the campaign, as most of the mem
bers have been busy In court. .

Candidates for Jadge.
Already the politicians of Southern Iowa
are getting action In regard to the pros
pective vacancy on the district bench by
reason of the resignation of Judge Parrish
of Leon. When Judge Parrish was a candi
date there was a large field, every county
In the district having a candidate, except
counties already -having Judges. William
E. Miller of Bedford has the distinction of
having received on the seventy-fifth ballot
of the convention a majority of the votes.
but before It could le counted, there was
changes that deprived him of the nomtna -
tlon. This record Is believed to give him
great prestige In the race. H. K. Evans
of Cordon has been brought out as an
active candidate. He, also, was a candi
date for the nomination. There are rumors
that T. C. Hardilnger of Clarke county
may also be a candidate, but It Is not yet
announced. The governor will appoint.
Iown Fair Dnte Unchanged.
Secretary Smpson, of the Iowa Depart
ment of Agriculture, returned from Chi
cago, where he attended the stock show
and the American Association of fairs. The
date for tho Iowa State fair next year
was not changed, though the Iowa mem
Iters desired a date one week later. The
fair will be held the week of August 19 to
27. The Minnesota State fair will be the
following week, and this Immediately pre
cedes the opening of the Cattle show at
St. Louis. The fair association admitted
the Sioux City and Hutchinson Fair asso
clattons und Cleveland Driving park to
membership, Liough this was opposed by
some. Dates were arranged for all the
state fairs In the midland region.
Object to Assessment.
The Great Western Railroad company Is
making objection to the assessment of its
new line. The Milwaukee tried to pre
vent taxation of its southeastern cut-off
because It was not In operation at the time
of the making of the assessment and
claimed that a right-of-way la not a rail
road until It is operated. The Great West
ern makes the same claim with regard
to some of Its lines.
Mayoralty Candidate Quits.
The campaign for mayor of Des Molncs
for next spring's election begun some time
ago, with three active candidates In the
field Mayor James Brenton, Ex-Mayor
John McVkker and Police Judge Ia J
Silvara. The campaign has already
warmed up surprisingly and much money
Is being spent, although the campaign Is
several months off. Today Judge Silvara
announced his withdrawal on the ground
that the campaign, to be successful, would
be too expensive for aim and because of
the disagreeable nature of the campaign
already started. It ia expected that others
will enter the race.
