TAX LEVY CUT SOME MORE
"three Mills More. Than Committee Recom
mended Taken from Bond Fund.
NEW BILLBOARD ORDINANCE PASSED
raTlnar of West Broadway Agala Ip
for Consideration and Two Prop-,
ositlnns Are Presented
to the Council.
Acting on the recommendation of the
finance committee, which met yesterday
morning' and revised Ha report formulated
last Saturday, the city council last night
fixed the tax levy for municipal purposes
for 1504 at mills, being 4 mills e?a than
the levy for lu3. The committee Saturday
decided to recommend a levy of 3Vi mills,
but yesterday it found it could lop off
three more mill from the bond fund levy
by reducing the levy for th bond fund
from 3 to 2 mills, and the Intersection pav
ing and grading bond fund from 8 to 1
mill.
The levy accordingly will be a follow:
I!i3. 1!4.
i Mills. Mills.
General fund 10 10
Oas and street lighting iVt 4
Water 6 6
Hrldge 1 1V4
Sewer ; 1 2
Improvement 1 4

l.ibi.iry 2 2

Total 2,y4 $34
The bond fund levy 1 made up a fol
low: 190.1. 1VH.
Mills. Mills.
Intersection, paving and grading 5
Intersection sewer 1
Bond loan .- 3
Funded debt - 6
Total 12
Chanite In Liaw Helps.
.Under tho new mode of assessment for
paving, curbing, grading and sewering the
cost of the intersection work is charged up
to the property owner in the block In
stead of to the city a heretofore, thus do-t
ing away with any future bond for such
improvements. There la at present, it was
explained, $23,000 in the intersection paving
and grading fund and with the 1 mill levy
this year and the same for the succeeding
years there would be ample to meet the
bonds which are due In 1911). In 1909 the city
ha to redeem only $11,000 of these bonds.
It was also stated that the city council
did not anticipate using the Improvement
fund, the levy for which was raised to 4
mills, fbr the cleaning of Indian Creek, as
this expense will be met out of the sewer
fund. .
The next most Important action of the
council last night tc the fixing of the tax
levy wan the passing of the ordinance
drawn by City Solicitor Snyder regulating
and licensing the business of bill poster.
The ordinance Imposes a license of $25 per
annum which expires July 1 after lfsuanco
and requires all persona maintaining bill
boards to give a bond of $2,000 to protect
the city. It prohibits the placing of any
bill or bulletin boards on the top -of any
buildings and prohibits the erection of any
boards higher than .twelve feet above the
grade of the street In front of such boards.
This will necessitate the tearing down of
all "double decker" boards now In use
about the city. The ordinance also pro
hibits the tacking up or attaching of any
advertising matter on paper or cloth on
the sld or front of any building within
the city. This clause is Intended to do
away with unsightly circus and theatrical
posters which are left hanging on building)
for months at a tltrus until the wind and
rain finally destroys them. Merchants of
the city advertising their own business are
not made subject to the payment of the
license, but are to all the other provisions
of the ordinance. Nonresidents operating
under this ordinance are required to name
a resident representative who will be re
sponsible to tho city for the fulfillment of
Its provisions.
Alderman Maloney attempted to have the
section referring to the tacking up of ad
vertising matter on paper or cloth stricken
out, but foiled of sufncleat support.
The ordinance drawn by Mr. Snyder reg
ulating the distribution of advertising mat
ter and samples was passed to Its third
reading and , then laid over on motion of
Alderman Maloney. .
Broadway Parlnar Again,
The paving of Lower Broadway came up
for another round. A committee from
the West End Improvement club, for
which President -A. C. Skinner acted as
spokesman, .appeared before the council
and urged that some action be taken by
the aldermen in the matter. "We want
Broadway paved with something more
subbt.intlal than good resolutions." urged
Mr. Skinner and he suggested that gravel
from Sherman hill on the Union Pacific
might b utlllxed to good advantage. C.
J. Dan. UH.-ls:arit general trafflo and
freight agent of the Union Pacific, was
present at the request of the West Knders
and addressed, the council relative to the
practlblllty of using this gravel. As a
starter he stated that, the gravel could be.
supplied for $2.90 a cubic yard, but this
figure would be subJectMo a reduction ac
cording to the quantity required, tie gave
It as his opinion that the gravel would
make an excellent and durable roadbed.
A representative of Van Court of Omaha
offered to macadam the road for a width
of eighteen feet, using the present base
or as much of it as would be practicable,
for HO cents a square yard with a guar
antee to keep It In repair for not to ex
ceed 6 cent a square yard per annum,
thl contract to be for five, ten or fifteen
year a the city might delre, the city
to retain 20 per cent of the cost a a guar
antee. After a prolonged discussion the mayor
wa authorised to name a committee of
three to take up the. matter of paving
Broadway. This committee will probably
not be pamed until Mayor Macrae return
home.
Mayor Macrae returned the contract
with the Manhattan Rubber company for
1,000 feet of tire hose for the new engine
house in the south part of the city un
signed with the recommendation that the
council reconsider its action. Thls .g.ctlon
on the part of the mayor was d.ue to
Alderman Maloney showing that the same
hose which the city was asked to pay 90
emit per foot for had been ofTerelT to
neighboring cltli at W cents per foot.
Walter Stephun, local agent of the com
pany, whose bid was accepted, was given
another wiek to offer additional evidence
to the council In rebuiuil of Aldertaan
Maloney s charges und action wa ac
cordingly rxtponed. '

r.T MAIL THAI CLAIMS , VICTIM
Arrldrat Oernra Immediately In
Front of the Broadway Depot.
Floyd F. Mitchell, a carpenter, wa
struck and instantly killed yestsrday after
noon by the Chicago & Northwestern fast
mall train. The accident occurred directly
In front of the passenger depot on Broad
way. The unfortunate man was frightfully
mangled, portions of hi body bojng scat
tered along the track. Both legs and one
arm were cut off, the head split open and
the body otherwise mangled.
Account as ot how the accident hap
pened differ, some of the eye-witnesses
claiming that Mitchell stepped from tho
platform behind a string of freight cars
being switched north and directly In front
of the fast mail, which it Is believed he
did not notice until It struck him. Others
say that Mitchell wa crooning the track
going west and stepped directly In front
of the approaching train This latter
version of the accident I corroborated
by Driver Jones of a mall wagon, who,
with his .wagon, wa standing close by
waiting for the mall train. Jones says
he saw Mitchell, with whom he had been
acquainted for several years, come from
behind a string of freight cars on the
east track walking towards the depot plat
form and that he apparently stepped
directly In front of tho fast mall. Jones
saw the Jrairt strike the unfortunate man,
whose mangled body the next second waa
under the wheels.
Coroner Treynor was summoned and he
ordered the remains taken to Cutler's
undertaking rooms where an Inquest will
be held this morning.
It 4s said the fast mall was somewhat
late and was making up time. Eye-witnesses
all say It was running far, in ex
cess of the six miles an hour as provided
by the city ordinances.
Mitchell was abo4it 50 years of age and
had been boarding at the Revere house
since last May, when he came here from
Missouri Valley. Until recently he was
employed by . the Hafer company, but
lately had been working for Contractor
Joseph on the Jewish synagogue on Myn
ster street. Two daughters, one of whom
la married, reside In Fremont, Neb. It Is
said he was divorced from hi wife and
he had since married again and is thought
to be living in Omaha. Friendo of the
dead man say he was once quite wealthy
and a number of years ago was either
sheriff or a deputy sheriff of Harrison
county and that formerly he made his
home at Dogan in that county.
Mitchell, It la learned, had been drinking
somewhat heavily lately. Sunday he left
the Revere house saying he wa going to
Omaha. He dhl not return Sunday night
and the first' thing the people at the hotel
heard of him was when word was brought
that he had been killed at the North
western depot. It seems that Mitchell wa
arrested In Omaha for Intoxication, but
was released yesterday morning after be
ing fined $1 and costs. Friends who went
to Omaha In search of him reached the
police station shortly after his discharge
and, were unable to locate him. It Is
thought by his friends that he had Just
stepped from a motor car on his way back
from Omaha when he met his death.
Doctor Come Tht Week.
The annual summer meeting of the Mis
souri Valley Medical society will be held
In Council Bluffs Thursday and Friday,
August 26 and lb. ' The sessions will be
held In the ballroom of the Grand hotel.
One of the principal matters to come be
fore the meeting Is the proposed change
In the organisation In order to bring the
society Into harmony with the American
Medical association and the state and
county societies affiliated with the na
tional body. This will necessitate a new
constitution and bylawB. At the last meet
ing of the society when the proposition
was brought up It met with considerable
opposition, but It is predicted that the
change will be acquiesced In at this meet
ing with little, If any, opposition.

CAPITOL COMMISSION . PLUGS SCHEME
French ffelatlvr of Jnllen Dabnqaa
Inquiring About HI Will and
Whether He Left Any
Property.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug.' 15. (Special.) Un
usually hot weather without drouth, fol
lowing a season of very cold weather, has
changed the situation entirely In the last
few days with reference to the Iowa corn
crop. Ten day ago there was Imminent
danger of frost and some frost waa re
ported In different parts of the state. The
corn was backward and slow, though
otherwlso fine. Now a few days of hot
r.nd damp weather has effected a complete
change.
"I never saw the corn with ears so
numerous snd perfect as this year," said
Director Page of the wr-ather and crop
bureau. "The crop la late, hut good, and
If the conditions are normal a big crop
will be had. But the crop has ibeen and
Is now In great danger. The last few
days have been decidedly encouraging. The
season Is much like that of 1SD1 when we
had the coldest August known for many
years and the last week In August there
was frost all over the state. The crop re
ports during the whole season continued
discouraging until the middle of Septem
ber when a change came about and we
had a very warm September, Just right
for rlp?nlng the corn, and 'we got an
average of thirty-eight bushels to the
acre. I have great hopes that this season
will erid as well."
The hervestlns; is now pretty, well done
In the state and thi reports from the
small grain" fields are encouraging, much
more so than some time ago. )
Capitol Decoration Scheme.
The State Capitol commission has Just
headed off a clever scheme concocted by
a number of person here by which It
wa planned that the state should be the
victim of a "syndicate to exploit the ap
propriation for decoration of the Interior
of the state oapltol. It -was found that
a plan had been mada for Inducing the
commission to adopt a general plan for
decoration In the capltol and to let a con
tract on competitive bids. . Then the suc
cessful bidders would sub-let the work to
artists and It, would be done very cheaply
and there would be ft"comfortable "graft"
in, the Job. Those who were planning to
get the contracts were not artists nor were
they willing to make an offer coupled
with a statement as to Just what artist
would be secured for the planning of the
work. The Job will cost something like
$75,000. For some time the capltol com
mission had hesitated whether to have the
work done In this way or to employ an
artist of national reputation and entrust
to him the task of working out the
decorative scheme In harmony with the
original plans for the state capltol. The
latter course has been decided upon and
the commission is at once the subject of
bitter attacks from local promoter of the
scheme to have the work done by contract.
The appropriation was made two years ago
for the work.
Medals to an Editor.

sioner and two years ago was president

time ago he resigned and went to Wash

Looking; for Dnbnque's Will.
The relatives of Julien Dubuque, the
founder of Dubuque, who reside In France,
have applied to the mayor of the city
through the French consulate at Chicago
for facts of his life, death and his will.
The relatives of the founder of the city
that bears his name knew of his death
here. After Julien Dubuque "eft his father
land to take up the life of an adventurer
he drew away from hi relative. The
relatives' learned the story of his life and
of the discovery of the city, which has
been named after him. Evidently, the
relatives have come to H-e conclusion that
Julien Dubuque may have left a fortune
or an estate because they ask whether
the discoverer was nrarried and if he left
a will. An effort will be made to comply
with the relatives' request, but It la gen
erally known that Julien Dubuque left
nothing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. -According to a
report to the state department from Cqn-
sul Warner at Leipalc, Germany, Japan is
preparing for a prolonged lnnd campaign.
Speaking of the Lelpslo textile trade with
Japan and Russia, he says:
Although the export of woolrn goods
to Russia lius fallen off considerably for
several months past, the orders which have
been received from Japan never have been
so large. Indutd the expatriations are such
as to keep woolen mills in this vicinity
for, some months to come. The goods be
ing exported are such as are for making
winter uniforms for the army.
Chinese Royalty ICrnuouilsea.
Minister Conger" has rent to the state
department a copy of a remarkable Im
perial edict issutd "by the Chinese empress
dowager, Tls Hsi, and promulgated by the
emperor. The empress in strong lnnguage
calls attention to the precarious financial
condition of the country, which makes it
difficult to provide funds for the drilling
of troops. This condition Is said to re
quire the exercise of -the strictest econ
omy. The emprews says:
"The habit of those between us and you
to surfeit themtielves snd spend money
