ESTIMATES ON BROADWAY PAVING.
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.

State Senator Saunders, who spent Sun

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

with the erection of the new building
the talk of removing the school would
necessarily end.

"Stand Pat" .Delegates Certain to At
tend Sate Convention.
It is expected that H. V. 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.

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.

PARIS, March 20 (New York World Ca
blegram 8iccl;U Telejrram.) Delbio, the
Paris headsman, now breathes more freely
nnd Is no longer seeking a place In which
to erect his guillotine for the condemned
murderer, Splno.
The cause of Dcthlo's peace of tnlml Is
that President Ixiubot commuted. F pine's
sentence of death to Imprisonment for life.
The French president has decided. It Is
said, that no man shall be put to death
during his presidency. Delblo'S position,
therefore, becomes a sinecure.
The rrlson de la Roquette, In front of
which tho guillotine stood for years, was
torn down and the conditions did not per
mit of guillotining taking place at the
old stand. Delblo set hlmsolf to work to
find another home for his death-dealing
machine. 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.
Delblo reached a state of distraction.
He passed sleepless nights In trying to
arrange for the "promenade of the widow,"
as the guillotine Is called. Every Quarter
of Purls was equally opposed to having
the honor of the executions. Paris alder
men repulsed every effort to ereot the
ghastly machine In their respective dis
tricts and the people of the suburbs were
fully as resentful. The law provide that
capital punishment must be publlo, and)
on the night before an execution crowds
assemble about tho guillotine In order to
hold the points of vantage, drinking and!
revelling. During tho execution they sins
and dance madly about the scaffold.
Naturally, no ono cares to have these
awful scenes brought to their doors, hence)
the objection to the "widow.
Delblo was In a predicament In 1K91 wherl
he was to put to death Bldau, and could)
find no place for his machine. Loubet
commuted Blrtau's sentenee, but he held
off so long on 8plno's fate that "Monsieur
de Paris" despaired of having the sen
fence commuted.. Now he Is perfectly
happy. i
In iroj tremendous moss meetings were
held throughout France to advocate the
abolition of the death penalty. President
Loubet, who has always been so much
affected hy an execution that he could not
sleep for many nights before and after Its
occurrence, was heartily In favor of the
movement, and has since determined that
he will follow the precedent set by Pre,
idont Orevy of commuting the sentence
In each case to Imprisonment.
Delblo says that he, too, Is against the
death penalty, but excuses his own occupa
tion by saying: "A man has to live, hasn't

WHY RISK CONSUMPTION.'
People Who Follow My Advice Avoid this Most
Dreaded of all Diseases.
X find that neg
lected coldi, or a
tendency to take
cold easily it a symp
torn of coming
trouble.
Catarrhal a ff e o
tloDi, if neglected,
too frequently be
come serious.
In my practice I
have notice that
most caws of Coo
fumption bare bad
their origin in a
ferere cold, or a neglected case of catarrh.
For people who are subject to such trouble
I especially have prepared and have per
fected my Dr. Kay Lunr Balm which in
variably will care a cold in a very ihort
time. If you will but take it at the tint
symptom of a cold, yon will break it up to
qnickly that you will scarcely realize the
trouble that vou have avoided.
In caiet of chronic boartenen, throat and
lnog troubles, of courts it u necessary to
renovate the entire item, and build up the
body. Where such cases exist I always rec
ommend that in connection with my Dr.
Kay's Lunr Balm, mv Dr. Rsy's Renova
tor be used. The pood effect of this great
tonic it soon apparent. The Renovator aids
Digestion, makes new rich blood, invigorates
the nerves and strengthens all the vital organs
of the body. The Lung Balm allays the
local irritation, reduces the ioflsmination
that accompanies a cold, so that the two,
when taken in connection, make a combina
tion that is the moat valuable assurance
against sickness known to man.
I received the following letter from. Rev,
F. Oarabedian, 25 East 104th ht, NewYoik
City, who says: '
I take pleasure in saying that fop ths
past two years I have been using tout Dr.
Kay's Lung Balm in my home. My little
daughter has several times taken such, a
severe cold that she could hardly breathe.
Every time your Lung Balm has cared her
without the aid of a doctor. 1 also take one
of your tablets before and Just after speak
ing. It helps my throat very much. lieo
onimend it to all public speakers."
I wish the public to thoroughly under,
utand that my Dr. Kay's lienor, tor and. my
Dr. Kay's Lung Balm, as well as all my
other remedies which 1 prescribe, at certain
times for certain exaggerated cases, come in a
tablet form so that they are easy to carry on
one's person, and can be taken more regit
larlyand easily than liquid remedies t also
because they do not contain any alcohol
which does so much to Irritate the delicate
lining of the stomach, break down the
nerves, and retard recovery my tablets are in
every way far superior to any liquid prepara
tions now on the market. I can advise every
one that they will be on the safe side it they
will go to tbelr nearest druggist and ask tot
my Dr. Kay's Lung Balm, which is sold for
10 and 25 cts., or for my Dr. Kay's
Renovator which sells for 23 cts, COcta, and
1.00. if they arc nnable to procure ht and,
will write to me, I will send same to then on
receipt of price. In all advanced cases I
should be pleased to give my advice, and the
