I'rge Removal of Deaf Ichool.
The Iowa Association for the Advance
msnt of the Deaf is advocating the re-v
movat of the State School for the Deaf
front Council Bluffs to Dea Moines In a
circular letter, copies of which have been
. sent ' to every member of the state legis
lature. The circular la signed by .Fred E.
Ward, acting president, and Waldo II.
Rothert, secretary.
The circular sets forth many alleged rea
sons why the institution should be re
moved from Council Bluffs to Des Moines,
the principal one being that Des Moines
Is the most central location.
The Iowa Association for the Advance
ment of ths Deaf is an Incorporated or
ganisation. - J. Schuyler Long, principal
of the Iowa School for the Deaf under
Superintendent Rothert Is Its president,
but refrained from signing the circular.
.Waldo H. Rothert, the secretary. Is a son
of Superintendent Rothert and formerly
a member of the faculty, of the Nebraska
School for the Deaf. The present address
of Fred E. Ward, the acting president, Is
unknown here.
While the stand taken by the association
haa created some surprise here, It is not
thought that It will have much weight, as
the 'organization only boasts a menberahlp
of to of the 1,300 deaf people of the state.

Council T) luffs from this nut will be one
of the few .cities In the slate In which the
Saloons are conducted according to the
provisions of the mulct law. Commencing
with Monday, February 1, every 'saloon
in the city will have to be run according
to the requirements of the mulct law.
This Is the latest mandate which will be
Issued by County Attorney Klllpack, who
has announced his Intention of taking a
hand In the saloon fight,
"If thirty-one saloons, at the behest of
Mr. Store, head of an Omaha' brewing
company, can, to all Intents and purposes
obey the mulct law, they certainly can
comply with the same law at the behest
of the state" was the statement of County
Attorney Klllpack yesterday when asked
If he Intended, as had been reported, 'to
see. In his official capacity, that the state
mulct law was continued to be observed.
Mr.- Klllpack, however; stated that as
long as the saloons continued to comply
with the law In the manner they had been
doing since the Injunctions were secured
against them by Attorney Wadsworth, lo
cal counsel for the Btorx Brewing company,
he would not have occasion to interfere,
but he was determined that there would
be no exception to the rule. In explana
tion of this the county attorney said he
meant that a certain few saloon propri
etors, who it appeared to him considered
they could run under the old conditions,
or Just as they pleased, would have to
get into Hue with the rest of the saloon
men or else close up their places. No sub
terfuge to escape complying with the pro
visions of the mulct law would be toler
ated' and any evasion or violation of the
law would result in the .prompt closing
of their places and the proprleters would
find .hemselves In a position where they
could not again engage in the liquor busi
ness In the Fifteenth Judicial district ,
Can Keep It I'p.
It has been rumored for several days that
the county attorney had decided to take
a hand In the fight and see that the saloon
men who showed such a haste to get In
under cover and run according to the
mulct law should continue to do so. Mr.
Klllpack takes the position that the saloon
men, having decided practically at the be
hest of a brewing compay to comply with
the state law governing the sale of liquor,
there is no .valid excuse why they should
not continue to abide by the provisions of
the same law at the behest of the state.
Of all the saloons In the city, but seven
as yet have not been enjoined. Five of
these have their hearings set for Tuesday,
while two have . sought the protection of
the federal court. The order of the fed
eral qourt in the case of the two saloons
simply enjoins Attorney Wadsworth from
proceeding with his Injunction suits against
them. It does not, however, apply to any
action that the county attorney might deem
nt to bring and Mr. 'klllpack stated . em
phatically yesterday that soy far as he was
concerned, . all saloons, no matter by
whom owned or controlled, would hence
forth have to be conducted according to
the provisions of the muct law as closely
as possible. '
When Informed yesterday that there was
a possibility of the saloon war being set
tled, Mr. Klllpack asked If It was meant
that under such settlement the saloons
were to resume running under the old con
ditions, and when told that this was evi
dently the result sought by a settlement,
he stated:
"That cannot be. No matter what agree
ment the warring factions among the
saloon men may reach among themselves,
they will have to conduct their saloons ac
cording to the mulct law or else quit busi
ness. That la all there Is to It. As long as
they comply with the law 1 shall not Inter
fere, but there will be no preferences shown
and every saloon In the city, no matter how
situated, will have to be conducted accord
ing to the mulct law."

READY FOR SPECIAL ELECTION
President Dobfaa of Tabor Mne Makes
Necessary Deposit with
City Clerk.
William J. Dobbs, president of the Coun
cil Bluffs, Tabor A Southern Electric Rail
way company, completed arrangements
yesterday with City Clerk Thllllps for
the holding of the special election on
Monday, February 29, at which time te
ordinance granting his company a fran
chise will be submitted to the vote of .the
people. To cover the expenses of the
special election, estimated at PW5. Presi
dent Dobbs deposited cash to this amount
with Mr. Phillips. Arrangements for hav
ing the ordinance published in the. local
press as required by law were also made
by Mr. Dobbs. , ,
President Dobbs reported . that E. , M.
Sanger, of . the financial firm of Hooper,
Nlckerson A Company, of Boston, which
expects to float the bonds of the Tabor
company, had telegraphed him that the
franchise ordinance was satisfactory 'and
to order the special election. Mr. Sanger,
accompanied by eastern capitalists, will
be In Council Bluffs Tuesday to look over
the line. President Dobbs will recommend
In view of the proponed packing house and
stock yards here that the belt line portion
in the southeast part of the city be con
structed at the same time as the portion
In thy, business center in order that the
company may be prepared to haul stock
to Council Bluffs' as soon as the packing
house is ready to do business. Mr. Dobbs
expressed the opinion that his road would
be able to haul all the cattle that the
packing plant here could handle.
The Tabor company haa received at
least one setback. The farmers residing
In Locust Drove township, Fremont county,
voted down the proposition to grant the
company a 6 per cent tax on the assessed
valuation of the property In the town
ship, which would have meant a -bonus
of something over $19,000 to the company.
They voted it down by a vote of 114 to 23.
In retaliation President Dobbs Immediately
sent out his engineers to survey snother
route and the proposed line will now eklrt
Locust Grove township four miles to the
west and will cut through Madison town
ship, the people of which will furnish a
right-of-way and a townslte of forty acres.
This change in the survey, President Dobbs
stated yesterday, would not only straighten
the line, but shorten It at least threo miles.

BLYDENBURGH ON THE STAND
Defrsdaat In Iowa Morder Case Tells
of Aettona oa Day Wife
teci.
ELDORA. la.. Jan. 19. Eben 8. Ulyden-
burgh, ,accued of murdering three wives,
took the stand In his own bthalf today, an
swering the charges tliat Se had polaoned
his third wife by administering nrsenlo in
a nuxil cooked by himself. lilydenburgh
told a straight-forward story, corroborat
ing the testimony of his daughter Irene,
who swore that she cooked the meal which
the state says contained sraenlo adminis
tered by the accused man.
"1 did not urge my wife to go to church
on the day of her death." said Blyden-
burgh In a calm voice. "On the contrary,
she flrst suggested It and I gave my con
sent. Shortly after she left 1 took a bath
and then lay down on the lounge to. rest.
My daughter Irene cooked the Sunday
meal. The boy went to Sunday school a
little after o'clock, returning at 11. lie
then went to church and returned again
about the same time that Mrs. Blyden
burgh cam home. M e all sat down to the
meal together. Shortly afterward Mrs.
Blydenburgh complained , of naureatlng
pains and vomited. I supposed It was
merely her old complaint and did not treat
the matter seriously until I saw that she
was In a dangerous condition."
Blydenburgh denied that hs ever had
purchased rough-orNrata for any purtpoe
than for that which the poison Is generally
used. He tpld of his wife's alleged com
plaint and stated that tha family physi
cian pronounced it uremia. He denied that
they had ever had trouble other than fam
ily quarrels of little consequence.
The state hopes to break the weight of
Blydenburgh's testimony in cross-examination.
It Is admitted, however, that hs has
told a good story, thereby aiding his case
very materially.
