NOTHING DONE ON DREDGING THE CREEK
Several of the) Railroads Have ot
Yet la-aed Agreement to Bear
Their Share of Kxpease
of the Work.
The city council at Its adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon decided to consent to
the vacation of Thirtieth street from First
avenue to the alley south of Broadway In
favor of the Cooper-Van Dorn Elevator
company on condition that the company
subscribe to an agreement to purchase the
abutting property, or else show the city
that It has already become owner of It
through purchase. In the ?vent of the com
pany complying with these conditions the
ordinance providing for the vacation asked
for will be passed at the next regular meet
ing of the city council. The reason for the
city demanding these conditions Is due to
the fact that several of' the aldermen have
been advlsed thnt the company did not In
tend purchasing any property, but planned
to erect the elevator on the portion of the
street which It sought to have the city va
cate In Its favor.
Alderman Muloney, chairman of the com
mittee having In charge the matter of deep
ening and widening Indian creek from Six
teenth avenue to Eighth street, stated he
was not prepared to make any report, as
several of the railroads which were ex
pected to bear the expense of the Improve,
inent had not yet signed the contracts. In
accordance with his request his committee
was given further time In which to close
up the deal with the various railroads. Al
derman Maloney stated that In view of the
fact that no bids had been received for the
work he would In his report recommend
that the work be done by the city. If It
were found practicable to lift the railroad
bridges out of the way Alderman Maloney
said he would recommend that the city
dredge be used on the work, but 4f the
bridges could not be removed the commit
tee would recommend that the work be
done by day labor.
Alderman Tlnley reported that the Chi
cago Great Western was Installing but one
culvert under Its tracks on Third street and
Sixteenth avenue and that one on each side
of the street was necessary. The city en
gineer was Instructed to take charge of the
matter and see to It that the railroad put
in culverts on both sides of the crossing, as
ordered by the city council some time ago.
The special committee to which was re
ferred the complaint of the custodian of
the city building regarding the quality of
coal furnished by the Carbon Coal company
asked further time, which was granted. ,
An adjournment was taken to the regular
meeting In January.
9WESEV HAS VIOLATED SO LAW

Justice E. B. Gardiner handed down his I , h .tta
decision yesterday afternoon In the case In
which M. Sweney, after marrying the di
vorced wife of R. A. Ball In this city, was
charged by the latter of "knowingly mar

ner decided that Sweney rfad not com
mitted a crime against the state of Iowa
and accordingly dismissed the charge
against him.
The case was the first of Its kind brought
here, and as far as Is known In the state of
Iowa, and the decision of Justice Gardiner
was watched for with much Interest by
local attorneys. Under the Nebraska laws
a divorced person Is prohibited from re

wholly a technical one.
There Is pending In the courts of Ne

divorce obtained by his wife set aside, and
should he be successful matters would then
be exceedingly complicated, as Mrs. Ball
would then In Nebraska be deemed his
wife, while In Iowa she would be recog

marriages as that of Sweney and Mrs. Ball
have been solemnized In Council Bluffi. arid
had Justice Gardiner's decision been against
Sweney a grave question as to the validity
of the other marriages would of necessity
have arisen.

In this city effected a permanent organiza

should have a permanent home of its own,
Directors Will Xot Pay Enough
Secure Teachers.
Eight rural schools In Pottawattamie
county are without teachers and are closed
today In consequence. The lack of teach
ers is due to unwillingness of the school
directors in the several townships to pay
salaries asked by teachers. The schools
closed for want of teachers are Boomer No.
9. Hardin No. 8, Hazel Dell No. S. Keg Creek
No. 1, "Lincoln No. 8, Rockford No. 2, Silver
Creek No. 1 and Wright No. 1.
With the exception of Garner township,
the highest salary paid In the country
schools is 840, and It Is claimed that first
grade teachers cannot be secured for this
salary. Two of the. schools now closer
have an enrollment each of over fifty pu
pils. These schools have been closed about
two weeks as the teachers went where they
could secure higher pay.
Under the law the schools are required tt
be opened for at least six months In the
year, but most of them are kept going for
nine months. County Superintendent Mc
Manus, who is taking the matter up with
the several boards of school directors
throughout the county, has suggested that
first grade teachers be paid 850 and second
grade teachers $40. By doing this the funds
at the disposal of the directors would en
able the schools to be kept open at least
eight months In the year. He has also sug
gested that It would be better to pay a
first class teacher 8H0 and keep the schools
open for six months only than to pay
smaller salaries for less efficient help, when
It could be secured, and keep the schools
open for the nine months.

Content with tho Simple Life.
A dispatch Jn the News recently an
nounced the death near Westport, Ind., of
William Smith, aged nearly 93 years. He
died at his farm home, where he had lived a
long time. A few dRys before his death he
said: "I am proud of two things first.
that I have been a farmer all my life, and.
second, that I am an American citizen."
Now, there Is something to think about.
Without any regret that he had not been
born to rule over men; that he had not led
armies or senates; that he bad not dazzled
his generation by great achievements, ex
ploits or discoveries; that he had not won
distinction in science, art or literature;
that he had not amassed great wealth or
that he had not done something different
from what he had done, he was able to ex
press hta complete satisfaction with his
place an part In life. Here Is a practical
exemplification of good citizenship and the
simple life that Is worth studying. Indian

SCHAEFER'S
Board Wants tt Vnanlmoas.
The Board of County Supervisors yester-
play instructed County Auditor Cheyne to
request the city council and Board of Edu
cation to acquiesce In the action of the
board In employing the legal firm of Harl
& Tlnley to assist the county attorney in
Ithe litigation that la anticipated from the
effort of the county to collect taxes on the
t stock of the Portland Gold Mining com
I pany. This he board deems necessary at
this time, as In the future If the county
was successful In recovering these taxes
Into the county treasury, the city and
school district might claim its full pro
' portion of the amount recovered, without
the deduction allowed Harl & Tlnley for
their services.
At; tha suggestion of County Treasurer
Conslgney, delinquent personal taxes prior
to 1SS6 will not be carried forward on the
present tax books and were ordered de
clared unavailable. This action, however,
does not cancel these delinquent taxes nor
the penalties attaching to them, but Is
merely for the purpose of avoiding the un
necessary work of carrying them forward
from year to year on the tax books.
The board completed the work of mak
ing up the Jury lists for the ensuing year,
but mill hold another session this morning
to dispose of some minor matters demand
ing attention and will then adjourn to the
regular Jaauary meeting.
