Death Rate Increasing?.
The records of City Physician Rice,
which are prepared by him for the State
Board of Health, show that the death rate
In Council Bluffs during the first fur
months of this year is greater than during
the same period in 1906. The unusually
cold and variable weather experienced dur
ing the last few weeks is held accountable
for the lncreaso In the number of deaths.
During January, February and March
there was an Increase of forty-eight deaths
ov.r tho corresponding period in 1906, while
thirty-five deaths were reported during
April, as against twenty-nine In the same
month last year.
City Physician Rice says there was less
throat trouble this spring than usual, the
cases of diphtheria being sporadic and not
of a malignant character. The average
deith rate In Kane township during 1901
was one a day for the year, but with 197
deaths In tho first four months it looks as
If this will be materially Increased this
year.

o Commercial C'lvb Secretary.
Owing to the absence of some of the mem
bers, the executive committee of the Com
mercial club at Us meeting last night failed
to take any action In the matter of select
ing, a secretary to succeed W. B. Reed.
Out of the numerous applications for the
position, the committee has eliminated all
but about half a dozen. The committee Is
in correspondence with those deemed likely
among the few remaining applicants, but
owing to the fact that the salary of tho
position Is but 11,200 a year Is meeting with
more or less difficulty In securing a man
qualllled for the exacting duties of the
office.
At the meeting last night it was stated
the committee had several projects In view,
but there was nothing sufficiently definite
at this time to make public.

City Clerk Sapp Is beginning to realize
what a bargain rush must mean In a dry
goods store. Since the announcement that
dog tags were on tap at his office and that
the poundmaster would be getting busy In
a few days after untagged canines, there
has been a continuous rush at the city
clerk's office In the municipal building on
Bryant street. In two days Mr. Sapp and
hla assistant, Mr. Waddlngton, have Issued
277 tags, 257 for male dogs and twenty for
females. Beginning next Monday Pound-

In district court yesterday Judge Wheeler
heard argument on the demurrer to the an
swer of the defendant In the 5.Poo slander
suit of Nellie Buckley, formerly a school
teacher near Bently, against F. T. C.
Johnson, a member of the Board of Town
ship School directors. The alleged slander
was contained In an article which Johnson
' had published In a Bentley paper, and
Johnson In his answer contended that the
communication of which Miss Buckley com
plained was "priviledged." The suit Is be
ing watched with much Interest In the
country districts.
Judge Wheeler dissolved a temporary In
junction Issued by him a few days ago
restraining W. E. Wickersham of Glen
wood from maintaining a horse pen In that
town, complaint having been made by A. I
E. Dean that the yard was a nuisance and j
a menace to health. The order of dlssolu- j
tlon was made on the showing that proper
notice had not been served on Wickersham.
I There will be no Jury trials until next
week. It Is likely that Judge Wheeler will
take up the J. Brown contempt case tomorrow.

Two Small Fires.
The flre department was called about 7
o'clock yesterday morning to the Revere
house, on Broadway, where a blaze had
started In the floor of the kitchen. Break
fast was In progress In the dining room
adjoining the kitchen and for a while there
was considerable commotion among the
guests. The building, an old frame struc
ture without any basement, was Infested
with rats, which made their home In the
space beneath the floor. The smoke and
water made the rodents stampede and
many of them invaded the dining room and
other parts of the building, much to the
excitement of the women employes and
guests of the house. The damage to the
building was small.
Fire of an unknown origin In a closet at
the residence of I. Chernlss, 700 Fourth
street, gave the Are department a run
about I o'clock Thursday morning. The
blaze was extinguished without serious
loss.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. May 2. (Special.) "Pug"
Gallagher, a strike breaker of Chicago, is
In Des Moines to breuk the Btrlku of the
railroad freight handlers which was started
yesterday. Today It Is asserted that De
Moines is threatened with a freight ticup
and that fifty-three men who walked out
on tho Roc'.i Island yesterduy are to be
followed tomorrow by a walkout of the
truck men on the Northwestern, and that
the Great Western men are expected to
follow a few days later. Gallagher's coin
ing to Des Moines with a party of strike
breakers is recognized here as one of the
evidences that the strike Is of threatening
proportions. Gallagher was conspicuous In
the teamsters' strike In Chicago.
The walkout on the Rock island was due
to the fact that the men asserted they had
to work six or eight hours overtime each
day with no extra compensation what
ever. Wednesday the local agent conceded
a ten-hour wage scale, but the men claim
would not concede extra pay fur overtime.
They claim they have to work till 11 or 12
at night almost as a steady thing, without
an opportunity for even getting something
to eat at supper time.
Fear for Senator Allison.
Iowa people are gradually becoming more
apprehensive that Senator Allison not only
will not be able to fill out his term, which
expires March 4, 1909, when he will be SO
years and 2 days old, but that he will not
be able to return to Washington next
December. Public men of Washington who
have been familiar with Allison's condition
have lately been In Des Moines and their
report Is very discouraging. Senator Alli
son, or the expiration of his term, will
have been thirty-four years In the senate.
Tear before last he crossed the line of
greatest length of service and has now
served longer than any other man who has
been In the senate. Senator Allison Is suf
fering from nothing but old age. Having
kept In vigorous health till his present ad
vanced age after the break down hus
started It la feared there is no hopes of
recovery, and the reports are that he Is
failing much faster than was at first ap
prehended. Plans for Cntiane Mailed.
