rtriiblican and democrat alike yester
day rre feerln; confident or the election
nt their .respective ticket at the school
eluctlon today.. A school election, however.
In. this city Is somewhat of an "unknown
iuantlty" until the vote are counted, as
In later years politics to a considerable ex
tent has been eliminated, and people have
voted for the man they deemed best fitted
for the place. Irrespective of his party af
filiations. This is more particularly true
In the election of members of the Board
of Education than in th) election of a
school treasurer. The banks of the city
figure more or less prominently in the elec
tion ef the treasurer.
Both the republican nominees for the
Board of Education W. E. McConnell and
8. F. Henry have had experience on the
board and should meet with the hearty
Indorsement of the voters of the school
district teday. H. O. McGee. the repub
lican nominee for treasurer, has held the
office for two years and Is deserving; of a
second term.
The democratic candidates are Emmet
Tlnley and George Bchoedsack for mem
bers of the lKard and George 8. Davis for
treasurer. Davis was the democratic can
didate two years ago, but was defeated by
McOee, despite the fact that two years
ago the democrats swept almost every
thing before them at the municipal elec
tion. Emmet Tlnley Is the retiring demo
cratic member of the board, and until a
few hours before the convention declared
that under no circumstances would he ac
cept a renomlnatlon.

bearing on the history of the city may be
placed.
Leonard Everett Is the father of the
movement and his suggestion has met with
rtady favor at the hands of other leading
citizens. Such a collection, Mr. Everett
contends, would be of incalculable value in
the years to come There are, he points
out, many documents, papers, etc.. of the
years gone by lying around In attics and
the book shelves of old-time residents of
the city which would. If placed in a col-

lection such as Is proposed, be of great
interest.
The matter has' been referred to Mrs.
Iwil-y, the librarian, and she has expressed
herself as greatly In favor of the propo
sition. She la willing to place a room at
the disposal of such a collection, if au
thor! cd by the board of trustees. Mr.
Everett will bring the matter to the at
tention of the trustees at their next meeting.

NO DIVORCE LEGISLATION
Senate Jadiciarj Committee Promptly
Strangles All Bills on Subject.
PARDON HEARINGS COMMENCE THURSDAY
Amendment Made by eaate Commit
tee to the Child I .a her Rill Sot
atlafactorr to Promoter
of the Mrasar.
(From a 8t(t Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, la., March 11. tSpeclal.)
According to all appearance there Is no
hope of any legislation at this session 'of
the legislature looking towards reform of
the divorce laws. The Judiciary committee
of the senate has some bills In Its posses
sion but the authors have given up all hope
of their being reported out and a bill In
troduced by Senator Taylor was promptly
reported for Indefinite postponement. Sen
ator aillllland of Mills and Senator Jones
of Mahaska Introduced Nlla providing that
divorced persons cannot remarry' Inside of
a year unless they remarry the person di
vorced from. These bills are still In the
hands of the Judiciary committee. Sena
tor Taylor two years ago Introduced a bill
providing that the decree of divorce ahall
be held up for a year. When It became
evident that the committee would not re
port on Glllllland's or Jones' bill he in
troduced it again this year. He holds that
Glllllland's bill will not prevent a divorced
person from going outside the state to get
married, while under his bill they could
not get married In any state without be
ing liable to the charge of bigamy, for the
reason that they are not legally divorced
till the decree Is signed. Borne are claim
ing that the Judiciary committee, being
composed of lawyers. Is an explanation for
the failure to get reform legislation. Sena
tor Taylor had his bill this year referred to
the committee on suppression of Intemper
ance In the hope of getting It reported to
the floor, but the .committee on suppres
sion of Intemperance, seeing nothing In the
bill on the liquor question, nsked that it
be referred to the Judiciary committee,
which promptly reported It for Indefinite
postponement.
Hearings on Pardon.
Pardon hearings, which are always de
ferred til! late In the aesslon of the legis
lature, will this year commence next
Thursday. There will be hearings by the
committees each afternoon at 4 o'clock till
they are all concluded. There has been
some nonsense written to some of the
papers of the state, but all statements
that this or that person was liable to be
pardoned has been purely guesswork. The
last two cases to be. heard will be those
of Busse and Smith, who are under
sentence to be hanged April 20. In the case
of Louis Buhsol E. A. Dawson of Waverly
will appear before the committee. He made
a strong plea to the supreme court to save
the life of Busse and It Is reasonably ex
pected will cause considerable discussion
In the committee on tne merits ot his
client's case. Smith comes from Buxton
and so far there Is no intimation that any
one will appear for him before the com
mittee. In the case of George Weems of
Polk county there la said to have been
discovered a considerable amount of new
evidence and his friends are relying on
this to get his pardon, asserting there Is
now sufficient prodf for a reasonable doubt
as to his guilt. Ormand McPherson of
Louisa county has had his case presented
to the legislature before. Alexander Storms
of Des Moines county was convicted of kill
ing two women who were found dead in a
room In Burlington a'week after they were
killed. He' was the. last "person scen'wItU
'them, . ... ,- ,
Child Labor BUI.
The child labor bill Is on for special or
der for Tuesday, and Is the first Important
bill that will be considered tn the senate
next week. The changes made by the
senate Judiciary committee are not en
tirely satisfactory to the friend of the
measure who drafted the bill that passed
the house. The senate committee has cut
out of the bill the provisions requiring
employers to "keep a list of the children
In their employ, with their ages and proof
ot their ages, and to be able to furnish
this at all times to the state labor com
missioner or his deputies or employes or
to any officer of the law. Including truant
