School Children lie Library.
Through the efforts of Superintendent
Clifford the pupils of the city schools sre
becoming more snd more patrons of the
public library and are being educated to
read a better class of literature, books
that will asaast them In their studies. To
Increase the Interest of the pupils In the
public library Superintendent Clifford had
prepared lists of books suitable for the
children of the different grades, from the
fourth to the ninth grade of the high
school. These Hats were placed In the
hands of the principal of each building.
The result haa been even greater than
had been anticipated. Last September the
number of school children holding library
cards waa 643, while a recent count showed
that the number had now Increased to

NO SALARY FOR PARR BOARD
Governor Eigni Bill Before tb Froteit of
Major Vurae Beaches Him
MAY NOT AFFECT THE PRESENT OFFICERS
Members of Park Heard say They
Will Perferan Da t lee Jast
Same Whether They Re
ceive Salary of Wat.
Although the announcement that the
legislature had passed, an amendment to
the park board law abolishing the saarlts
of park commissioners In all cltlea of the
state having a population of less that) 40,
on) came as a great surprise. Inquiry yee
terday ahowed that It waa generally ap
proved and commended by the business
men of the city.
As stated In the dispatches from Des
Moines, Mayor Macrae and others had tele
graphed Governor Cummins, asking Mm to
withhold hi i.lgnature, but, according to
advices received by Secretary Heed of the
Commercial club, the bill has been signed.
A telegram to riecretary Reed from Gov
ernor Cummins' private secretsry, said:
"The bill to which you refer reached the
governor April Mid wss signed and sent
to the secretary of state within the three
days allowed by law or signing bills."
The three members of the park board of
this city, while iefratnlng from discussing
the propriety of the state legislature thus
unceremoniously lopping off their salaries,
said they would continue to administer the
affairs of the parks, salary or no salary.
Commissioner Graham, the father of the
park system of Council Blufh", said:
"Well, I served the city as park commis
sioner for sixteen years without pay snd I
suppose I can continue to do so."
There are some who are Inclined to be
lieve that the amendment to the park hoard
law lopping off the salaries of the com
missioners emanated from Council I'lufTs.
It has been no secret that many of the
business men and larger taxpayers were
ot satisfied with existing conditions. They
took the ground that It ws unreasonable
for the city to oay three commissioners
$1,500 to disburse between $,000 and $7,000,
the amount of the annual park levy. Com
parison was made with other boards of iho
city, as. for Instance, the library and school
hoards. The members of these boards are
called upon to devte as much If not more
of their time to the work of attending to
the affairs of the public schools and of the
public library ns the commissioners are for
the parks, and they receive no compensa
tion whatever for thalr labors. Then again
It was pointed out that the city aldermen,
whose duties are twofold. If not threaiold,
those of the park commissioners, receive
only $240 a year. -,
The question has been rslsed whether the
legislature has the power to change the
compensation of officers during the term
for which they were elected. Several at
torneya who were asked regarding thla
point gave It as their optnlon that the com
pensation of the park commissioner being
fixed by statute enacted by the legU: lure.
the legislature undoubtedly had the power
to repeal that statute whenever it sess nt
to do so. .
Commissioner Peterson was elected when
the law only provided an annual compensa
tion of $100 for the members of the park
board, but for the last three years, since
the amendment enacted by the Twenty-
Ighth general assembly, he hsa drawn $600
year. Commissioner Graham, who was
elected two years ago, came under the $ J0
year law. Captain :irown, who was
lected at the recent city election and who
naturally anticipated receiving I MO a year
for the next sis years., 'vlll be only able to
draw hla salary up to July 1. when the new
aw goes Into effect and thereafter will
have to serve without compensation.
There were aome who were Inclined to
the belief that the parks of the city would
not now receive tne attention inai iney
would If the commissioners had been prop
erly compensated for their labors, but all
three members of the board said yesterday
that the people need have no fear on this
account, as they would give tne parks in
their charge the same attention snd care
as If they were paid for their services.
Every one, however, seems surprised thst
a bill of such Importance should have been
passed through both houses without at
tention being directed to it. Senator Saun
ders, who went to Rock Island from Des
Molnea. Is expected home soon, when It Is
thought he will be able te throw some
light on the matter.
neveals a Seeret Marriage.
The sudden desth at Fort Crook of a
soldier named Alexander has cauaed Miss
Edna Christie, a young womsn of this
city employed In a dry goods store on
Main street, to disclose her secret marriage
lo the dead soldier. Miss Christie, ether
wise Mrs Alexsnder. Is the daughter of
Mrs. Tyseck of 6:'4 Iowa avenue. She ssld
yesterday when she learned that her hus
band waa dead that aha was married to
Alexander at Fort Crook on Sunday, April
but had kept the marriage secret from
her mother and stepfather, with whom she
continued to make her home. Mrs. Alexan
der wrote to her husband Wednesday and
yeaterday nornlng the letter was returned
to her unopened with an accompanying
note from one of the officers to the effect
that Alexsnder, who waa a member of the
hospital st a ft, was dead, but giving no
further Information. Mrs. Alexander, who
la about It years of sge, left yesterday
morning at once on receipt of the note
from Fort Crook.
Matters la District toort.
The trial of the $10 000 peraonal Injury

charge of drunkenneee a warrant had been
Issued from the court of Justice Ouren.
gave the officers all kinds of trouble yes
tetday morning before he was taken Into
custody. His condition was such from tho
apparent excessive Indulgence In liquor
that an Information charging Hasklns with
being mentally deranged wss filed and his
case will be Investigated today by the com
missioners on Insanity.
When Constable Albertl went to the Has
klns home on South Seventeenth street yes
terday morning he found Hasklns awaiting
his arrival with a double-barrelled shotgun
and a vicious looking bulldog which had a
far from pleasant way of showing hla
teeth when the officer came near. The shot
gun later proved to be unloaded, but this
waa unknown to Constable Albertl at the
time and he decided to wait reinforcements
before attempting to arrest his man. A
telephone message to the sheriff's office
brought Deputy MoCaffrey to .the scene.
When the two officers started to lay their
hands on Hasklns he ran to another room
and Jumped Into bed, while the bulldog
stood guard over him.
James Prendergast, a friend and neighbor
of the family, tried to Induce Hasklns to
accompany the officers quietly, but Has
klns" only reply to his advice was to pull
a big revolver and point It at Prendergast
with a threat that he had better clear out
and attend to his own business. The sight
of the revolver decided Prendergast that
he had business elsewhere, but In his hur
ried exit he stubbed his toe against some
thing and fell. A small but heavy package
which he was carrying struck Prendergast
in the small of tho back when he fell, nnd
for the Instant he thought that Hasklns had
carried out his threat and shot. Prender
gast let out a yell which could be heard for
several blocks as he regained his feet and
darted from the house.
This incident amused Hasklns so much
that he sent the dog after the fleeing
man. The moment the dog left the room
the officers closed In on Hasklns. and after
a short struggle had him handcuffed. When
the patrol wagon arrived Hasklns put up
another fight and It took three officers to
get him into it.
James Hasklna Is a brother of William
Hasklns, who was drowned at Lake Man
aw a, and since his brother's death he has
had the key to the saloon which his brother
conducted and has been drinking heavily,
according to the statement of his sister,
Mrs. Holder, who filed the information
leading to his arrest.

SETEN BILLS -ET UNSIGNED
GoTernor Hti Thirty Dy$ in Whioh to
Pus on ths If euarea.
DRAINAGE BILL AMONG THE NUMBER
soreme (oirl Flaally Settles Lead
Cose, the Inreptloa of Which
Dates Bark lo F.arly Days
of the State.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOTNES, April 14.-(Speclal.)-In all
seven bills were not signed by Governor
Cummins before his departure for Indiana
yesterday for rest. One or more of the
seven may not be signed. He has thirty
days In which to decide and they will not
become laws unless the governor affixes
his signature.
The most important of the seven is the
drainage law. This was recommended by
the governor In his message, but he would
not sign such an Important document
without closest scrutiny of Its provisions.
Two or three other bills relating to drain
age are also in his hands for signature
yet. One of these assumes to modify the
old drainage law so as to make It legal
by a provision for the proper notice to
property owners and a hearing In protest.
This Is for the purpose of settling up mat
ters relating to ditches already constructed.
Another Is the bill to 'authorize the sale
of Islands in the meandered rivers. Still
another Is the bill to authorise the council
to sell or lease the meandered lakes of the
state and to have them drained. There
Is some opposition to this last named bill
and he has been asked to hold It up for
a hearing.
In regard to one other of the drainage
bills there la some doubt as to Its force.
This Is a bill which, in effect, substitutes
In the code of Iowa for the first time
the common law rule for the civil law
rule In the matter of surface water. It
would enable the owner of the higher
ground to drain the water off In the most
convenient way, leaving the owner of lower
ground to care for tho water as best he
may. It is feared by some that this may
be a bill of more far reaching Importance
than was Intended and the governor has
been asked to scrutinize It carefully.
Another Important bill the governor is
holding up. is the one relating to that class
of semi-swindles, known as the "home
co-operative" concerns. It would place
them and all concerns making a business
of coaxing money from men by means of
installment schemes under the most rigid
control and under heavy bonds. Bui the
fear is that such a law may affect in
juriously some perfectly proper business
which it waa not Intended to touch, and
the governor will consider this bill care
fully. A similar bill was paused two years
ago, and while It has been declared by
the court here to be unconstitutional, It
had tho effect of putting a stop to part of
the business that was being carried on.
Old Land Case Settled.
The supremo court today decided a case
which had a beginning back in 1856 when
Theophllus Crawford, sr., died in Ver
mont, leaving a will in which he gave to
his son. Theophllus Crawford, Jr., and wife
a considerable estate In Dubuque, for
their use and Income during their lives.
The Junior Crawford died in 1877 and the
wife in 18S9. In the meantime portions of
the land hsd beefi sold for taxes and
otherwise, and there had been many com
plications, so that a number of sulls were
commenced by the heirs and grantors in
regard to the final disposition of the prop
erty and Its proceeds. These cases were
affirmed with some modifications and a
final settlement ordered, but the compli
cations were many and unusual.
Court Decisions.
The following were the decisions of the
supreme court today:
