CURFEW ORDINANCE TO BE ENFORCED
Was Passed by Council la 1JJ, kat
Ever Mnce a Few Moatha There
after It Has Been Dead
Ietter.
Colonel Alexander Hogeland, the newsboy
friend and father of the curfew ordinance,
would have thrilled with pleasure had he
been in Council Bluffs last night at 8 o'clock
when the siren whistle of the Bluff City
laundry blew loud and shrill. The blowing
of the whistle indicated that the city au
thorities intended to enforce the curfew or
dinance and that it was time for all young
folk to be off the streets and safe at home.
The curfew ordinance framed by Colonel
Hogeland was passed In June, 1S96, and
after being enforced for a limited space of
time was allowed to become a dead letter.
The recent establishment of a Juvenile
division of the district court and the ap
pointment by it of a probationary officer
aoon demonstrated that the enforcement of
the ordinance was much needed, and the
municipal authorities on being appealed to
at once decided that the measure should be
revived and properly enforced. With this
end In view arrangementB were made with
the proprietors of the B!uff City laundry on
North Main street hereby the Blren
whistle of the plant should be blown every
night at the appointed hour to warn the
young folk that It was time for them to be
at home.
The ordinance refers to children undet
the age of 15 nnd it provide that they must
be off(the public streets at 9 o'clock from
September 1 to March 1 and. at 9 o'clock
from March 1 to August 31. Children under
this age are permitted on the streets If ac
companied py a parent, guardian or other
person having the legal custody of such
child, or if in the performance of some er
rand directed by the parent or guardian.
The ordinance specifically provides that
no child taken Into custody by the police
for being on the streets after the hours
named shall be placed in confinement until
Its parents or guardian have been duly noti
fied and shall have- refused to be held re
sponsible for the observance of the pro
visions of the ordinance.
Parents permitting their children to be on
the public streets after the hours named,
unless there exists a reasonable necessity
thert for, are liable to be fined in a sum not
exceeding 125 and stand committed until
such fine and costs are paid.

When the Harrison-Pottawattamie county
drainage dltchea were first proposed- the
board authorized an Issue of bonds to
defray the preliminary expenses. Of this
it-sue 12.000 were sold and there remain
over IJO.000. The original drainage, law
under which these bonds were issued was
subsequently declared Invalid by the su
preme court and the board is now con
fronted with the question, what shall be
done with these, bonds and what course
shall be taken In regard to those which
were sold. That the purchasers of the
bonds should be refunded their money
was the opinion of the board, but no action
will be taken until the opinion County
Attorney Hess, to whom the matter was
referred, is received. The bonds bear the
signature of Perry Kerney, former chair

chased by his wife, who died a month or so
a0; He failed, however, to make this
claim yesterday before Justlcs Gardiner. He
made no claim to the goods, neither would
he deny that they wera the property of Mr.

The court adjudged the goods ths prop
erty of Mr. Leffert and ordered that they
be returned to him when they would be n
longer wanted as evidence againat Wag-ner.
In tha meantime the property Is to remain

Dirt S1I4 la Park Eatraaee.
Several tons of dirt fell yesterday after
noon from the east bank of the "cut" en
trance to Falrmount park from Graham
park, but-yin" the motor tracks several feet
under the mass. The slide occurred be
tween the two bridges and a motor which
had Just passed the spot before the msss of
dirt came tumbling down was unable to
get out again. The car had to be aban
doned until the. dirt covering the tracks
can be removed.
President Graham of the park board
visited the scene of the landslide and at
once Issued orders that the entrance be
closed, as there is a large mass of dirt
overhanging which Is liable to slid down
at any moment. Mr. Oraham Is anxious
that the public should understand that this
entrance to the park Is closed until further
notice, a with the walls In their present
condition It would be extremely haxardou
for any one to pass through.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE9 MOINE8, Jan. 2 -(Special. )-Th
ushering In of the new year was not
marked by any change in the officials at
the statehouse. In fact, it was quite a
tame affair. The governor's secretary
counted th cash In the hands of the state
treasurer, the bonds of the new officials
who succeed themselves In office were ap
proved, th deputy treasurer's bond being
lncreastd from HOO.Ono to J2OO.O0O. All the
other bdnds were left In the same ameunt.
The officials who succeed themselves are
Secretary of State Martin, Treasurer of
State Gtlbertson. Auditor of State Carroll
and Attorney General Mullan, with their
deputies the same as last year.
Apprevlas; Hospital Plana.
Judge Kinne of the Board of Control re
turned today from Mount Pleasant from
visiting the state institution there, and
Judge Robinson returns tomorrow from a
trip to Sioux City, Clarinda and Inde
pendence. The board will then take up
the matter of the plans for the administra
tion building and cottage No. 1 at Knox
vllle for the Iowa Hospital for Inebriates.
The plans have been completed and await
the approval of the board. Plana were
drawn once before, but were discarded and
new plans drawn. The new plans follow
the style of architecture of the building
for the School for the Blind, which I al
ready standing, but which was abandoned
a a school for the blind and Is to become
a part of the hospital for Inebriates.
Hew Banks la Iowa.
In connection with the yellow Journal
Ism Item sent out from De Moines a few
day ago to the effect that there had been
forty bank failures In Iowa in one year,
when there were but thirty-four bank
went out of business for various reasons
In two years, it Is Interesting to note from
the records of the auditor office that
there were eight tate banks and forty-two
savings banks organised and chartered
anew during th year 1304, in comparison
to four state savings bank which went
out of business during the year. The
auditor's office, of course, has no record
of the national banks organised. The real
banking and financial condition of the
state is shown by the new banks organ
ised aa much a by the number that went
out of existence.
School Libraries.
The recent decision of Judge Caswell of
Vinton In compelling; the purchase of books
for th school library has' Interested the
state uperintendent of public Instruction
and it la possible that he will endeavor to
find how many other decisions have been
made In the district courts of the state. In
the Vinton case it is learned, that the
county superintendent there asked the dis
trict Judge as a favor to decide the case
the other way against the school In order
that the case might be carried to the su
preme court, as he was determined to do
If the case was ao decided. The Judge.
however, was desirous of maintaining his
reputation and refused to so decide, fear
ing that he would be reversed. The case Is
believed to have been before four dis
trict courts. One case was in Wlnneshelk
county.
Sfn Banks Organised.
Articles of incorporation for several new
bank have been received' by the auditor of
state and the charters were issued Satur
day for th banks to begin business today.
The banks are tha Farmer' State bank at
Lamonl, Birmingham Savings bank at
Birmingham, the Rome Saving bank In
Henry county, the Bank of Meaervey in
Cerro Gordo county, and the Lockrldge
Saving bank in Jefferson county.
