City ' KasliMr Kxpected to Have Them Ready for Council. City Engineer Etnyre expects to have his report on the proposed paving of lower firamlMar Beady- hts. -eubml I --to ' the oity touncll at Us meeting tonight The report, ' embodying as It does an estimate of the Coat of the proposed Improvement, Is the fesult of considerable work, which can be readily understood when the fact that the plat showing Uie abutting lots and other data la ns leas than seventeen feet long la, taken Into consideration. City Engineer Etnyre was asked to esti mate the cost of paving Broadway from Thirteenth atreet to the east line of the approach to the motor company's bridge, a distance of approximately two and a balf miles. This means about 60,000 square yards of paving if the proposition to pave Si Strip thirty-six feet wide between curbs Is carried exit. Figuring on Oalesburg brick on concrete base Engineer Etnyre estimates the cost of paving at over I100.0M, Including the curbing. In his report Mr. Etnyre will recommend Chat a strip not exceeding thirty feet wide e paved, as this, he believes, will afford ample thoroughfare for the next twenty tears, or even longer. To reduce the pav lg to this width would materially lessen the cost and the curbing could be set back It at a later date It was deemed advisable Increase the width of the paving. In Snaking this recommendation Mr. Etnyre will call attention to Oakland avenue, one of the best paved streets In the city, which Is only thirty feet wide, and several other heavily traveled paved streets and avenues which are of about the same width. The aldermen are expected this evening to take some action looking towards fixing the appropriations for the maintenance of the several municipal departments for the ensuing year. This must be done by the present council liefore the beginning of the fiscal year, which commences on April 1. These appropriations have to be based on the anticipated revenue of the city from the levy for the general fund, saloon and' other licenses and other such fluctuating resources. Another matter which the council will have to attend to tonight Is the appointing of Judges and clerks for the city election next Monday. Through the efforts of the Council Bluffs police, John N. Franklin, the South Da kota man, who is alleged to have se cured S1.100 through the innocent connlv ance of the United States Express com pany, by impersonating another party, has been arrested and is now behind the bars at Huron, 8. D., awaiting the arrival of an officer of the express company to lden tlfy him. Franklin was married In this city Mon day of last week to Mrs. Anna B. Stewart of St. Joseph. Franklin, who claimed to be a merchant of Pierre, S. D., stopped at the Kiel hotel here, two days before the arrival of his bride from Missouri. It was supposed that Franklin and his bride left the same day for South Dakota, but subsequent developments show otherwise, The Wednesday following Franklin's marriage officers of the United States Ex press company were In the city hot on his trail. From the officers It was learned that Franklin had been Informed by Wll 11am B. Perry, an aged resident of Trenton, Mo., that he Intended to go to Oklahoma and purchase a farm, with money he had In the bank In Trenton. Franklin, It Is said, went to Oklahoma and Impersonating Perry, telegraphed to the bank In Trenton to forward $1,100 by express, which the bank did, and the express agent turned over the money to Franklin without re quiring identification. With the money In his possession Frank lin hastened to Council Bluffs and was married. He did not leave, however, for Pierre, 8. D., the day of the wedding, but Instead with his bride secured rooms at the house of James Brooks on Vine street where they remained until Wednesday, Franklin, it was learned, purchased tickets for Pierre, but instead he and his wife went to Huron, thus throwing the officers in pursuit of him off his trail. A post card addressed to Chief of Police Tlbblts by Franklin and received here Sat urday was responsible for his arrest. On leaving Council , Bluffs last Wednesday Mrs. Franklin forgot three rings and some other small articles of Jewelry which she had placed in a drawer of the bureau of their rooms at the Brooks home. Franklin had forgotten Brooks' name, but remem bered that he had the contract for feeding the prisoners In the city Jail, so In writing to Chief Tlbblts he asked the latter to go to the house of the "man who fed the city Jail prisoners" and get the rings and for ward them to him at Huron, & D. Inquiry at the Brooks home showed that the man who had stopped there with hi onae answered the description of the Franklin wanted by the express company, stf Chief Tlbblts at . once telegraphed to the authorities at Huron to arrest him Late Saturday night Chief Tlbblts re ceived a telegram from the sheriff stating mat rranklin was under arrest. Yesterday Chief Tlbblts received word from the officials of the express company to the effect that an officer would be sent at once to Huron to Identify Franklin and secure his return to Oklahoma. HURON, a D., March 30.-(8pecial Tele gram.) DetecUves of the American Ex press company caused the arrest here last night of J. M. Franklin, supposed to be the party who recently swindled the Union Pacific company out of 15,000, and later got large amounts from the American Ex press company. He was traced here from St. Joseph, Mo.; age Is about 60, fair ap pearing, well educated and very reticent. The officers believe they have the right man. Monthly, a papT devoted to the inter ests of the younger members of the union. conducted a rally service yesterday after noon at the First Presbyterian church. Miss Wlntringer spoke chiefly of the work of the Loyal Legion, the temperance or ganisation for children, for whom her work Is principally directed. In addition to conducting the rally ser vice at the Presbyterian church Miss Wlntringer made short talks In the morn ing at six of the city churches, as fol lows: Fifth Avenue Methodist, First Christian, First Congregational, First Bap tist and Broadway Methodist. At each church her talk was necessarily limited to a few minutes and was for the purpose of Interesting the children of the several congregations in the rally service to be held In the afternoon.

State Senator Saunders, who spent Sun day at his home In this city, said he was Mot losing any sleep about the outcome of the fight to remove the School for the Deaf from here. He said !t was his firm belief that the senate would not concur In the resolution of the house culling for the appolntemnt of a JHnt committee to Investigate the site of the Fchool for the Deaf and thnt consequently no such com mittee would be appointed. Mr. Saunders said at the same time that he was of the opinion that the appropriation of j:a,000 for a new building would cirry and that with the erection of the new building the talk of removing the school would necessarily end.

Battey cf Avoca, deputy clerk of the district court and a former well known newspaperman, will be named as temporary chairman of the re publican county convention tomorrow after, noon. The convention will be called to order at 2 p. m. in the south room of the county courthouse by Chairman Wright of the county central committee, and he will name Mr. Battey as temporary chairman If the latter will consent to act. The convention will be comprised of 176 delegates, sixty-eight from the city and 10S from the country, the county being divided Into seven districts for the purposes of the convention. It will name twenty-seven delegates to attend the state convention to be held In Des Moines Wednesday, May 18, the convention of the Ninth congressional district to be held at Atlantic Wednesday, May 11. and the convention of the Fifteenth judicial district, which has not yet been called. The district convention, to name two delegates and two alternates to the national convention in Chicago from the Ninth congressional district, will be held In Des Moines on the morning of the state convention. The county convention tomorrow, being wholly In control of the "stand patters," will undoubtedly Instruct for Oeorge 8. Wright of this city for one of the delegates to the national convention from the Ninth district. It Is also expected to Indorse the retention of Ernest E. Hart of this city as member of the national committee from Iowa, I'ottawattamie county will have the fourth largest delegation In the state con vention, being entitled to twenty-seven delegates. Polk county takes the lead with forty-one. with IJnn and Scott counties next, each with twenty-eight. Next to Pot tawattamie county comes Woodbury, with twenty-five. Outhrle county, one of those comprising the Ninth congressional dlftrlct, held Its county convention Saturday and named a "stand patter" delegation, with Lieutenant Governor Herrlott at the head. It Is now almost a foregone conclusion that the Ninth district will send "stand patter" dele gations to the state convention. Indicates a Wllllnsrneas to Even Receive Dowager Q,ueen of Italy. (Copyright, 1904, by Press Publishing Co.) ROME, March 20 (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The numerous audiences granted of late by the pope to members of the "white aristocracy" are evidences of the liberal policy of Plus X. Not only avowed sympathisers with the usurpers of the temporal power, but Italian government officials and personages al rectly connected with the Italian court. have been graciously received and enter talned by the pope. It is said on good authority that if the Italian officials had allowed the dowager queen, Marghareta. to visit the Vatican with a private carriage devoid of emblem and livery, Plus X would have received even her in private audience, as all nego nations on the point, conducted at the Initiative of the queen iherself, had already been brought to a successful termination. Senators, members of Parliament and magistrates of the kingdom, whose appear ance in the Vatican was not tolerated under the late pope, even on the pretext of visiting the museum and galleries, are now seen every day waiting In the papal anterooms for the moment of their private audience to arrive. Then the representa tive of a foreign power accredited to the Qulrlnal, the Argentine minister, has lately been received with his wife and family, In pursuance of the same policy, orders have been sent to the nuncio at Vienna to advise the members of the famous clerical arch confraternity of Bt. Michael which, at Its annual meeting adopts resolutions advocating the re establishment of the temporal power, to omit the usual proceed ing this year and to abstain from express ing any political view. At the reception on Ash Wednesday to all the parish priests and Lenten orators of Rome the pope insisted that they should preach the gospel and the gospel alone, laying aside a'l political discussions or controversies with the liberal clement and thus help to carry out the program of exalting religious interests above po litical conditions. Some opposition came from the members of the intranslgeftnt party, but the persistence of Pius X In following his own Ideas and the answer he made whenever a protest or an objection was raised haa discouraged most of them from saying anything further. Because of his independence of spirit and opinion Plus X has already received the nickname of "Sixtus V," whose abrupt Innovations are a matter of history. Prince Lancellott, the noted Intranslge ftnt editor of the Voce Delia Volta, Is going to resign his position If the policy just inaugurated continues to be followed at the Vatican. He has si ready remon strated with the pope, only to receive the answer that the head of the church Is the father of all, clericals or liberals, blacks or whites. Cardlnat Oreglla, who, since the conclave has been considered the special protector of the new pope from the opposition of other members of the sacred college, Is no longer seen at the Vatican. The latest rumor Is that the pope In tended to call a meeting of the leaders of the Catholic party In Italy In order to determine the strength of the party In case he should decide to permit Catholics to vote at political elections, forbidden until now by the "non expedit" of Plus X. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINE8,' March 20. (Speclal.)-A strong lobby has been organised by the banks of Des Moines to prevent the pas sage of the' bill to require payment of in terest on the state deposits In the banks of this city. The bill, which Is being urged by Senator Ijewla of Clarlnda, and which Is generally favored by the bankers of the state, places It in the hands of the execu tive council to make arrangements with the banks that have state funds on de posit as to the rate of Interest that will be charged. State Treasurer Qllbertson recommended this two years ago and Gov ernor Cummins recommended It in his biennial message to the legislature. It would bring Into the state treasury from $25,000 to $36,000 annually as a part of the regulnr Income of the state. But the Des Moines banks have had the use of this million-dollar balance steadily for many years and do not desire to have It cut off. They have prepared to make a vigor ous fight on the measure In the house and to prevent its passage. It is even declared openly that one of the reasons why the bankers of the city contributed liberally to the recent campaign in Des Moines, wherein Oovernor Cummins got the worst of it, is that they are determined to pun ish the governor for his part In the fight to compel them to pay Interest. It Is prob able that under the law there would soon be a distribution of the money about the state in various banks or a general reduc tion of the large surplus. Under the pres ent plan the Des Moines banks are bonds men for the state treasurer, or generally furnish the bonds In some form; but if the bill passes some plan will be devised to relieve the state treasurer of the payment for a surety1 bond. Additional Money for Exposition. The Iowa Exposition Commission has at last got the $20,000 additional funds which the legislature decided should be given. The bill has been kicked and cuffed about for many weeks. It was really twice passed, and In Its present form requires that the money shall be used for certain specific purposes. The money will be of material assistance to the commission In the matter of perfecting some of the ex hlbtts. Considerable Interest Is being taken here In the plans for the international congress of lawyers and Jurists the last week of September from the fact that two former well known Iowans are of the ex ecuttve committee of six having It In charge Frederick W. Lehmann and James Hagerman, the latter general counsel for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway and president of the National Bar association The exhibit of agricultural colleges is be ing prepared by a committee of which Prof. C, F. Curtlss of Ames Is a mem ber. Plans for Consumption Hospital. The persons seeking, to have established in the state of Iowa a hospital for the cure of tuberculosis are much encouraged over the fact that Governor Cummins has man lfested a great deal of Interest in tht movement. There are two pending bill: before the legislature looking to the estub lishment of such a hospital. It is plannei, to spend about $100,000 in this work and to prepare for the care and cure of persons who are afflicted with the disease. It will be located In the northern part of the state or possibly In the extreme northwestern part of the state on account of the supe rior climate there. The physicians of the state have generally endorsed such a measure. Only Local Contests Left. , The turn in political affairs In the state the past week haa left only local contests among the republicans preliminary to the state convention. The four delegates-at-large from Iowa are agreed upon and It is also agreed that they shall be under in structions to carry the Iowa platform to the national convention to have it adopted there In letter and In Bplrlt. In this dis trict there Is but little left of the local con test and It Is now regarded as certain that E. EX Nichols of Perry and J. H. Henderson of Indianola will be the two delegates. There Is much satisfaction over the with drawal of tho candidacy of Judge Scott of Council Bluffs, making It certain there will be one delegate from the west end of the Ninth district and one from the east, and both elected without factionalism. In most of the districts all that is left is some minor personal differences. To Represent Iowa at Washington. The house will next Wednesday take up consideration of a bill to provide funds for the placing In the Hall of Statuary at Washington of a bronxe bust of Oovernor Kirk wood, as one of the two men to be thus honored by Iowa. The bill would have been passed last week but for the desire of some to Include also the naming of an other to go along with Kirk wood. It Is re garded as certain the other must be either Big Strike la Carlsea Mine. LANDER, Wyo., March 20. (Special .) A bonanxa ore chute has been opened In the Carlssa mine at South Pass at a depth of 400 feet and a forty-foot cross-cut has failed to find either wall of the vein. Ex perts who examined the mine during the winter said there was In sight fully H.OoO. 000 worth of ore, and the opening of the new chute makes the amount vastly greater. The owners of the property will develop the property on a tremendous scale. Hundreds of men will he employed, and whether the Belgo-Amerlcan company builds to South Pass or not the Carlssa will soon resume the shipments of gold on a larger scale than marked Its history In the early days of the gold excitement here, when this property produced over a million In gold annually. Crusade on Oambltnsr. CHEYENNE, Wyo., March to. (Special.) The anll-gambllng crusaders who have waged a relentless war on gambling In Cheyenne for more than three years, hav ing caused the enactment of a law pro hibiting gambling, and having won the fight against the gambling element, which declared the law invalid on technical grounds, will now make, a last move to close up gambling in this city and will pre sent a petition to the mayor and city coun cil to refuse to grant licenses to the club rooms of the city. Although the law strictly forbids gambling It is understood that the city authorities announced that they would grant a few permits at high prices, and It Is this policy that the cru saders will petition against. Seedlns; Near Slouc Palls. BIOUX FALLS, 8. D., March lO (Spe clal.) The first seeding reported this spring In this part of the state Is being done on the farm of A, C. Collins, north west of Sioux Falls. Collins already has twelve acres sown- to wheat. The ground In this section has been olear of snow for some time, and If the present favorable weather continues wheat seeding will be come general throughout this part of the state during the coming week. Brand Commission Meeting. PIERRE, 8. D., March 20. (Special.) The State Brand commission has set the 18th of April for Its next meeting, at which time accumulated business will be cleared up. A number of brands have been filed for record since the last meeting, and those who have filed them are anxious to have them passed upon before spring round-up work that they may know to a certainty If they have tho right to use them. SEVERAL KNOTTY QUESTIONS Likolj to Prolong the Fostoffioe Appropria- - lion Bill This Week. NDIAN AND PENSION BILLS IN SENATE enator Fairbanks' Measnre Provid ing for m hew Department Build Ins at Washington Will Be Considered. WASHINGTON. March 20-The postofflce, the military academy and the sundry civil appropriation bills constitute the work mapped out for tho house this week. On Monday the house will adjourn early owing to the death of Representative Thompson of Alabama. The post office bill la pending and several knotty questions, such as rural free delivery salaries, railway mail sub sidies and railway mall service, aro likely to prolong Its consideration for several days. The military academy bill la not likely to consume much time. The sundry civil bill will probably be ready the latter rart of the week and Its consideration will extend Into the following week. Present indications are that no other matters of importance are likely to be Injected into the week. Postoffice reports will be cared for here after by the MoCall committee, which Is to sit in open session during the week. Week Devoted to Bills. The present week In the senate will be devoted almost entirely to appropriation bills, beginning Tuesday with that for the District of Columbia and following with the Indian and pension bills. Neither the district nor the Indian bill has been re ported from committee, but both are prom ised early In the week and they will take precedence over the pension bill, notwith standing the latter is now on the calendar. The pension bill Is held for possible addi tions made necessary by additional legisla tion, but its consideration will not be long delayed. It Is not expected there wt'.l he any effort to Increase the amount carried by the bill on account of the recent execu tive order. Whatever may be required to carry the order Into effect will be Incor pointed In a general deficiency bill. Unob jected bills on the calendar will be taken up tomorrow and further consideration may be given Senator Fairbanks' providing for a r.ew department building in this city.

Every time he picked out a spot that seemed suitable a cry went up from the people in that vicinity and he was com pelled to make retreat after retreat lit his cherished desire Then came the sentence to death of Pplno, and the matter of finding a place for the knife and block became more urgent.
