STtnVINC. THE SEW DRAINAGE LAW
Supervisors of Three Coantles to Meet
at Missouri Valley.
The supervisors of Harrison, Monona and
Pottawattamie counties will meet next
Tuesday at Missouri Valley to discuss and
familiarise themselves with the new drain
age law Just enacted by' the state legisla
ture. The new law, It is understood, will
not affect the contracts for the Harrison
Pottawattamie county dralugo ditches let
last year, and the contractors. R. A. Brown
& Co. if Washington, Ind., and W. A.
Smith Co. of Missouri Valley are prepar
ing to get the work under way.
The only change under the new law
which will have to he made will be the as
sessmert of the benefited property. Thla
assessment waa made by commissioners
appointed by the auditors nf the two coun
ties. Tha new law provides that the as
sessment shall he made by three commis
sioners who shall classify the benefited
lands. In the case of a Joint ditch district
I between two counties, as In the case of the
Harrison-Pottawattamie county ditches,
one commissioner shall be selected by the
Board of Supervisors of each county and
those two commissioners shall then select
a third.
The new law also provides that the con
tracts shall be awarded by the county
bo,rd end not by the auditor, as hereto
fore. The contracts for the Harrison-Pottawattamie
county ditches were let by the
auditors of the two counties, but the new
act legalises all previous actions In this
respect up to the assessment of the bene
fited lands, which must be done again by
the commissioners appointed by the county
board and not by the auditors.

KW IEIIIIIATK LAW IS DRASTIC
Heavy Penalty for Famishing; l.lqeor
to Chronics.
The bill passed by the state legislature
establishing a state hospital for the rare
of milrlates and dipsomaniacs at Knox
vllle provides severe penalties for the sale
of Intoxicating liquors to chronic Inebriates
and County Attorney Klllpaek, In discus
sing the new law, suggested yesterday that
every suloonkeeper should make himself
conversant with Its provisions.
lY.der the new law any person selling or
even giving Intoxicating liquor to any
"patient" who has or who may hereafter
be committed to any Insane hospital as an
Inebriate or dipsomaniac shall, on convic
tion, be sentenced to not less than six
months or for nut more than one year In
the state penitentiary, or to a fine of not
leas than KK but not more than 11.00, at
the discretion of the court.
This same penalty applies to persons sell
ing cr giving liquor or narcotics to persons
addicted to the use of narcotic drugs such
as cocaine, morphine, etc., and commonly
classed as "dope fiends."
The new lsw further prohibits ths sale
or giving of Intoxicating liquor to persons
who have been committed to any state In
stitution as Inebriates and who have been
discharged as cured, except on the pre
scription of a reputable practising phy-
slcian. Any one violating this provision oi
he new low will be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and on conviction ehall be
subjected to a fine rf not less than I3"0 nor
more than tl,. and shall be committed to
the county Jail until such fine Is paid.
These stringent penalties, the county at
torney said, should make saloon men snd
others very careful as to whom they fur
nish liquor. The experience of the authori
ties In this county- haa been that many of
the persona sent to the Hospital for In
ebriates at Mount Tleasant, the majority
of whom made their escape and returned to
their homes, were able to secure all the
liquor they called for In any of the saloons,
with the result that they soon fell by the
wayside again.
Under the new law all male Inebriates
will be sent to the state hospital at Knox
vllle as soon as It Is placed In readinesa
for their reception, but In the meantime
they will be committed under the old law
and sent to Mount Pleasant and other
simitar state hospitals or asylums. Female
Inebriates under the new law will be com
mitted to such hospitals for the Insane as
the State Board of Control may designate.
This law went Into effect last Saturday,
the day of Its publication, ft fart which
the county attorney said he believed was
not generally known. In this city there
are several persons who have been com
mitted to Mount Pleasant as chronic In
ebrl.ites and who, having made their es
cape, are back home, and ahould any of
these be arrested again for drunkenness
the county attorney said a strict Investiga
tion would be made and the persons re
sponsible for the sale of liquor to them
would be made to suffer the penalty of the
new law.
tops Relayings of Pavement.
T'nder Instructions from the city coun
cil committee on streets and alleys Chief
of Police Richmond yesterday compelled
the motor company to stop the work of
relaying and paving on Rast Pierce street
until the work can be done under the su
pervision of an Inspector appointed by the
city. The paving was recently torn up
by the motor company while relaying the
tracks with heavier rails. In relaying the
pavement the company. It Is charged
shoveled In all kinds of broken brick for
the lower course, then covered It with a
layer of sand and for the top course laid
large quantities of tho soft and Inferior
brick which had formerly been used for
the ' lower course. Before the work was
stopped, after the investigation made by
the committee, the motor company had
succeeded in relaying nearly three blocks
of the paving between lta rails, and It
was stated yesterday that all of this will
have to be taken up and relald In a proper
manner.

LEGISLATURE FINISHES UP
Deadlock Over Capitd Repairs Broken in
ths Closing Hon:.
TAX ROLL TO BE TWO MILLION PER YEAR
Two Commission Kamerf to Carry osi
Investigations nnd Report to the
et Session nf the
Legislature.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 12. (Special. )-The
legislative session closed nominally ai
noon today, but in fact late this afternoon,
with the clock stopped and much waiting
done for conferences and for the comple
tion of work by the enrolling committees.
The day was an unusually quiet one In
every way and the members were In good
humor as they waited for the closing
scenes. The amount or worK none wn
great. Only a few bills needed attention
and they were easily disposed of. with one
exception. All the general bills had been
got out of the way.
That which was troubling the members
on the last day was he appropriation for
the repair of the state cnpitol. The capltol
commission has only about 145,000 on hand
of a. firmer appropriation for repair work,
and none of It could be used to restore that
portion of the capltol Injured by fire. The
senate bill. In accordance with the unani
mous recommendation of ft committee ap
pointed early In the session, provided for
J126.O0O for the restoration after the fire
and JX2,0ti0 additional for specified pur
poses shout the state house, such as re
pair of steps and walks and other pur
poses. The bill also provided tnat ine r-w.-000
should be raised by a, mlllage tax on
the property of the state, thus not taking
It from the general revenues of the state.
The house was not ready to accept this
nnd was especially opposed to the millage
tax. The house amended by leaving noth
ing but a simple appropriation of Iioo.ono
for fire repair and conferees were appointed
by both houses. These conferees were at
work when the noon hour, us fixed for ad
journment, was reached and both houses
were' taking a recess with the clock
stopped.
The conferees reported back to the
houses a unanimous agreement to give the
full Sl'OS.OOO. but to strike out the mileage
tax. The bill was passed In this form.
The usual exchange of compliments was
had, and after the governor had been noti
fied of the plan for adjournment the sine
die finish was made.
Fixes the Tax Levy,
The most Important work of the closing
day of the legislative session was the fixing
of the amount which the state will rnlse
by direct taxation for state purposes In the
biennial period. The two houses passed a
bill, as required by the code, directing and
authorizing tho state executive council to
fix a tax on the assessed value of the prop
erty of the state that will yield approxl
mately $2,000,000 a year for the use of the
state. This takes into account other pos
slble sources of revenue. The bill means
that practically there will be a 3-miIl tax
levy the next two years, which Is about
the same an has been usual for some years.
Commissions to Investigate.
Two commissions for Investigation and re.
port to the next general assembly were
provided for and these were named today
by the presiding officers of the two bodies
On the commission to Investigate the In
determinate sentence plan nnd the state
reformatory lden and report to the next
legislature on the advisability of adopting
this reform In the penal system of tho
state there was named Senator Saunders
and Representatives Temple and Jones
On the commission to Investigate as to
tho best method of managing state educa
tional Institutions with speqlul reference to
the advisability of placing them under one
board there was named Senators Whipple,
Turner and Ijimbert nnd Representatives
endall, Wright and I-angan.
These commissions will make the Investl
gntlon during the next two years and re.
port at the beginning of the next legisla
tlve session.
Representative Districts Fixed
The conferees on the bill fixing the rep.
resentatlve districts reported a unanlmou
agreement to the effect that the senate
accept the house bill, and this was don
by the senate and the bill passed. Thl
fixes the ratio of the apportionment a
27,900 for each member and enables the leg.
Is'ature to so arrange the districts that
only four of them mny be questioned
possibly not In exact accordance with the
cede.
The house accepted the senate amend.
ments on a bill to allow soldiers' relief com
missions the right to Include soldiers
other than the civil war In their work and
especially to Include the soldiers of tho
Spanish war.
A highly complimentary resolution
of
thanks to Spenker Pro Tern Cummings was
adopted In the house.
The senate presented the chair and gavel
used by the presiding officer to Lieutenant
Governor Herriott.
A resolution In memory of the late Gov
cmor Drake was passed In the senate.
The house refused to pass the bill to raise
the pay of the chief clerk and secretary
of the senate to 18 a day.
Maintaining; Inlerlockers
The Iowa supreme court todsy decldei
in a case coming from Clay county that
a court may require Joint support an
maintenance of an Interlccker at a cross
lng of two railroads under the Iowa
statute. The Rock Island's Gowrle line
crossed the Minneapolis and the latter
chose to demand an Interlocked The court
on a hearing of the case decreed that th
entire cost of the Interlorker should be
paid by the newer company, Including th
cost of perpetual maintenance. The su
preme court decides today that while the
entire original cost must be borne by the
newer company, there snouia De division
of the cost of maintenance. This Is the
first time the point has come to the su
preme court, and It solves a pusxllng
problem in regard to railroad construction
In the state.

EHEUMATI
The idea that Rheumatism is strictly a
winter tusease, that comes from exposure or
cold, is wrong; a spell of indigestion, tor-
Eidity of the liver, inactive state of the
idneys, or sudden cooling of the body when
over-heated, being frequent causes of an
attack. Rheumatism is due to an over-acid
condition of the blood and bad circulation.
As it flows through the body the blood
deposits an acrid corrosive sediment in the
joints and muscles, and the
circulation grows sluggish NO V CRUTCHES.

cooling of the body when over
heated, a bad spell of indigestion, or anything that is calculated to further
derange and depress the system ; but these are only exciting and not the
real cause of Rheumatism. It is in the blood, and when this vital fluid
becomes overcharged with the acid impurities and is running riot in the
veins, an attack is sure to come, whether in summer time or the cold, bleak
days of winter. You are a slave to pain as long as the blood is tainted
with acid and a cess-pool for all the bodily impurities. Liniments and
plasters are helpful and useful, but it takes something more than rubbing

TOPEKA. Kan.. April It Th populist
state convention met here today and ad
journed without making any nominations.
The delegates will meet In Topeka again on
August 8, at which time an effort will be
made to fuse with the democrsts. A sliKc
convention of democrats will be held nere
on the same day. This result whs not
reached until the Issue had been well
fought.
The mlddle-of-the-roaders strongly In
sisted on nominating ft state ticket with
out reference to anything the democrats
wanted. The other element tried to patch
up a deal to nominate two supreme court
Justices, governor and one or two other
state officers, have these endorsed by the
democrats at their convention next August
and then permit the democrats to name
the remainder of the ticket.
Adherents of this scheme were in the
majority, but the opposition threatened to
bolt and nominate a straight populist tic
ket In case such an arrangement was to
be made and this killed It. If former Sena
tor W. A. Harris would have consented to
run for governor the warring elements
would have been reconcile:! without trouble,
as both wanted him. He refused, however,
and ft spilt convention wns the result.
Hearst is P.ndnrard.
An effort will be made to adjust mntters
with the democrats before the time of hold
ing the next convention. The mldd!c-of-thnroad
populists are still outspoken In
their determination to bolt If the fusion
plan Is persisted In.
About the only thing the element agreed
to was the resolutions. They reaffirm al
legiance to the last national platform, con
demn the republican record In state and
national affairs nnd demand the repeal of
