Are Xot Atteadtag School
terra Are Arrested.
The Board of Education, at its regular
monthly meeting last night formally ac
cepted the Avenue B school and ordered
that remaining estimates on the several
contracts be paid In full. s
The resignation of Mrs. Lou M. Graves,
former principal of the Courtland school
at Cut-Off, waa accepted and It waa de
cided to close one room and place the
school In charge of Miss Cora Jones, whose
salary was accordingly Increased to 155.
Mrs. Haxard was appointed Janltress of
the bulldlns at $10 a month.
The resignation of Miss Emma Hoffman
of the Avenue B school was also accepted.
Miss Winifred Cockrell, who comes here
from Harlan, la., was elected to the teach
ing force of the Thirty-second 8treet
school at a salary of $35.
It was decided to place Insurance to the
amount of 115.000 on' the Avehue B school.
In view of the fact that an additional
room at the Avenue B school was kept
open for the accommodation of the teach
ers to eat their noonday lunches in. Chair
man Davenport of the finance committee
recommended that the Junltor's salary be
raised from $65 to $70 a month. Member
Shu "art considered that it was rather an
expensive matter to pay $5 a month In
addition to the cost of heating this extra
room to provide a lunch room for the
teachers. He saw no reason why they
could ' not do as the teachers In other
buildings did, namely, eat their lunches In
their own rooms. The matter was finally
disposed of by deciding to close this extra
room and leave the janitor's salary where
It was, at $65.
The request of F. E. Moses that he bt
permitted to take a group photograph of
the children of the Avenue B school waa
turned down. It waa stated that a number
of the parents of the children desired such
a picture and Mr. Moses' request wus
backed up by a numerously signed peti
tion .from the patrons of the school. The
board, however, feared establishing a prec
edent. Rev. Henry DeLong submitted his report
as truant officer. He said he had made
362 visits to homes and found that the
main reason for children not attending
school was due to the Indifference of the
parents. Six boys and one girl had been
arrested and tried In the juvenile court.
One boy and one girl hnd been committed
to state industrial schools and the others
were now attending school.
The report of Superintendent Clifford for
the second month f of school ending No
vember 3 gave these statistics: Entire
enrollment, boys, 2,376; girls, 2,645; total,
1.021. Monthly enrollment, boys, 2,348;
girls, 8,599; total, 4.947. Average dally at
tendance, 4454; per cent of attendance,
93.13; number cases tardiness. 187; number
neither absent nor tardy, 2,555.
Wife Asks for Aid.
Mrs. Mina Halle, wife of John Halle,
member of the Board of Trustees of Kan
township and a well known local repub
lican politician, appeared before the Board
of County Supervisors yesterday afternoon
with a request that she be furnished aid
by the county for herself and three chil
dren, aged 7, 6 and 2 years, respectively.
Mrs. Haile, who is a young woman 26 years
of age, while her husband, the stated, was
52 years old, stated that her husband had
failed to support her and her children and
that unless the county furnished her aid
she and her children would starve. Inci
dentally Mrs. Haile said that fhe had
that day been forced to leave her husband
owing to his neglect and failure to sup
port her and the children.
The board before acting on thi applica
tion decided to investigate and if possible
have Mr. Haile appear before it and ex
plain matters. The Halles live on upper
Harrison street.
City to Handle Funds.
City authorities generally were much sur
prised to learn yesterday that the money
received by the Library board from Mr.
Carnegie for the construction of the new
library building had not been placed with
other funds belonging to the library' with
the city treasurer, who Is by law the treas
urer of the public library and the lawful
custodian of its funds.
The Library board la not an elective
body, but Is appointed by the maor, such
appointments being confirmed by the city
council. All of the funds raised for tha
maintenance of the public library are de
posited with the city treasurer, who checks
them out on orders signed by the president
and secretary of the board. The city offi
cials, while not doubting that President
Rohrer acted In perfect good faith and
while not desiring in any way to question
his Integrity, Insist that he should have at
once on receipt of the Installments fiom
Mr. Carnegie deposited the money w.th the
city treasurer and not have placed it tn
A bank to his account as president of the
Library board.
It Is aald that this matter will be brought
up at the next meeting of the city council
and that formal notice will be served on
the Library board to depot It all funds re
ceived from Mr. Carnegie with the city
treasurer. The $70,000 promised by Mr.
Carnegie waa a gift to the city of Coumll
Bluffs and not to the Library board, and In
consideration of the donation tha city en
tered into a contract with Mr. Carnegie to
levy a certain sum annually for tha main
tenance of the library when constructed.

came near dying from his Injuries.
As the result of Judge Green e' ruling
yesterday In district court In two appeal
cases from the towns of Neola and Under
wood, Pottawattamie county, these towns
will have to redraft their ordinances un
less a reversal Is obtained In the supreme
court.
In the esse from Neola 8. W. Rechart
and J. 8. Foley appealed from fines of $50
imposed on them for disturbing the peace
by fighting, was reversed, on the grounds
that the ordinance undei which they were
convicted was a mere repetition of the
Mate law which fully covered the case.
Judge Green sustained the contention of
Rechart and Foley and took the case away
from the Jury.
In the case from Underwood Lawrence
Katlgan had been fined for disturbing the
peace. He appealed, however, on the
ground that the ordinance under which
he had been convicted was defective
and of no account for the reason that Its
passage had never been properly recorded.
This the court found to be the fact and
took the case from the Jury also. While
the case from Underwood was taken from
the Jury on account of the recording of
the ordinance being defective, the ordi
nance Is an exact duplicate of the Neola
ordinance and the court's ruling on the
Neola ordinance consequently would have
applied to the Underwood ordinance had
the same question been brought up.
Judge Green recently made a similar rul
ing in a case at Avoca and the town of
Avoca has decided to take the matter up
on appeal to the supreme court. The rul
ing of the supreme court In the Avoca
case will consequently cover the Neola and
Underwood cases.

Short Session of Council.
The city council at Its meeting yesterday
afternoon did not take up the franchise
ordinance filed by the Council Bluffs Inde
pendent Telephone company, but deferred
consideration of it until its meeting Mon
day, November 28.
Complaint has been made to the city au
thorities that permission had been granted
by the fire and light committee for the
erection of a small frame building or
shanty on Broadway near Seventh street
within the fire limits. Erection of this
structure was permitted on condition that
it be covered with corrugated iron, but it
is said this Iron sheeting is of the thinnest
character and practically no proof against
Are. The matter was brought up at yes- I
terday's meeting and the qutstlon of
amending the ordinance governing the erec
tion of bullldngs within the lire limits
dlscusaed. The consensus of opinion of
the aldermen was that no such structures
should be permitted within the fire limits,
especially on the business streets, and that
the ordinance in this respect should be
absolutely prohibitive. As a result of the
discussion It is likely that an amended
ordinance will be submitted at the next
meeting of the city council.
During the afternoon the aldermen In
spected some recently completed paving
and passed upon the assessment schedules.

DE8 MOINES. Nov. 15. Sneclal.)-A
meeting of representatives of the various
unions of bricklayers In the state of Iowa
la In progress here and plans are being
laid for a general betterment of the con
dition of the unions in the state during the
coming winter. The general plan to be
followed will be to district the state and
give to each local district a territory', and
the effort will be made to get all brick
layers In the territory. In the small towns
surrounding these various centers. Into the
district unions. Thus their acope will be
extended to cover the entire state. There
ara twenty-six unions In the conference
today, representing all the larger cities of
the state. During the last year there has
been depression In union labor circles In
Iowa owing to some defeats at various
places, but the union men declsre they are
now rapidly gaining In strength. They be
lieve that If they can organise the men in
the smaller towns ss well as In the cities
they can command the situation. It Is
learned that a campaign to organize all
other trades and crafts In the same way Is
to be undertaken during the coming season
and that among the printers, carpenters
and others the plan of having district
unions rather than locals will be followed
so far as possible. It has been arranged
that President Oompers of the American
Federation of Labor will make a speaking
tour of Iowa soon after the holidays.
Extend Crooked Creek Railroad.
It ia learned that officials of the Crooked
Creek railroad, which runs from Webster
City to Lehigh and Is a coal road exclu
sively, nave laid plans for an extension
from Lehigh to Cowrie, and they have
given indications that the Chicago & North
western is back of the extension and would
desire to use it. The projected line would
give the Northwestern a shorter line from
Its St. Paul branch to its western lines.
The new cut-off would open a number of
mines and factories for business toward
the southwest.
Jfew Well a Success.
State officials are greatly pleased with
the fact that the newer deep well at the
state hospital at Cherokee, which was not
used for a long time because of the sedi
ment In the water, is now in perfect condi
tion and the water has been clarified by a
Altering process at the bottom of the well.
This will save the state arf expenditure of
about $30,000 for an Independent water plant
at the hospital.
The State Board of Control has arranged
to purchase a small tract of land at Knox
vllle on which will be the right-of-way of
the new switch to the state grounds of tho
dipsomania Institution.
Call for Bank Rtatemeat.
The state auditor today issued a call for
a statement of the condition of Iowa state
and savings banks as of November 10. This
Is simultaneous with the call on national
banks.
Waiting for a Reward.
Detectives of this clty( claim that they
have kept track of Nell Matthews, the
colored murderer, and know substantially
where he is now, and that he is with
friends who are taking him from the state.
It Is believed they are waiting until a re
ward Is offered for the arrest of Matthews.
The wife Of Matthews has been placed In
Jail to be held as a witness. Two of his
victims have died and a third may die.
Roland Dlggs, who was shot in the breast,
died after a week of suffering and Dlgg s
wife Is In a precarious condition from the
shock. Matthews was alleged to have come
here from Omaha, but It was found he had
not been In Omaha long and Is a wanderer,
with a bad record In the south.
.Rabber Stamp Slgaatarea.
The rubber stamp signature of a justice
of the peace. Is good In Iowa In the case
of an original notice of a lawsuit. The
supreme court in the case of Loughren
against Bonnelwell so decided today. Such
a notice of suit was Ignored and Judgment
was had by default. The court today held
that a justice of the peace might affix his
signature by stencil or rubber stamp or any
other way and It would be good. "Fac
simile stamps such as used In this case,"
said the court, "are quite common In these
days of haste and hurry, and courts have
generally regarded such a signature suffi
cient and the equivalent of signing with
pen and Ink or pencil." The court also held
that although it was shown that such a
paper was In fact signed in blank and filled
out by a third party, It was good, but the
rule would not hold ss to all papers signed
by a Justice of the peace or other official.
