WORK ON ANNUAL BUDGET Treasurer and Finance Committee Estimate Income at $30,000. DRAFTING APPROPRIATION Bill. Revenue from Saloon License Placed at $.30,000, hmt Some Think This Is Too Large. Figuring on an anticipated revenue of $30,000 from saloon licenses City Treasurer Frank True and the finance committee of the city council have decided that the ap propriations for the maintenance of the several municipal departments for the en suing fiscal year can be based upon an expected total income of $80,000. This is only a few thousands short of the amount appropriated last year The finance committee and City Treas urer True figure that the $80,000 revenue can be obtained as follows: Ten mill levy for general fund will bring In approxi mately $38,000; saloon licenses. $30,000; po lice fines, forfeitures, city licenses, etc., $4,700; balance remaining in police fund at the close of the present fiscal year, $7,300. There are some who are of the opinion that the finance committee Is somewhat too optimistic In placing the anticipated revenue from the saloons at $30,000. With the present strict enforcement of the mulct law It is believed that quite a number of the smaller saloons will be forced to quit business and should this prove to be the case the revenue from this source would be materially lessened. The drafting of the appropriation ordi nance, which is to be submitted at the meeting of the city council tomorrow night, has been left to City Treasurer True by the finance committee. Mr. True stated yesterday that the ordinance was prac tically complete with the exception of ap portioning the various amounts from the general fund for the different departments. The ordinance, he said, would be In shape for submission to the city council Thursday night. MATTERS IN THE DISTRICT COURT Rnsch Estate Inheritance Tax Is Before Jada-e Wheeler. Judge Wheeler In district court yesterday heard arguments in the suit brought by County Attorney Hess In the name of the state treasurer, W. W. Morrow, to collect Inheritance tax from the estate of the late John L. Busch of Keg Creek township. When Busch died he left a will In which it was provided that the property should go to his wife under condition that she pay his debts and comply wltn other pro visions. The will further provided that In case of herdeath, the estate should go to the step daughter, Johanna BchulU. Mrs. Busch died before the will was probated, and on behalf of the state It is contended that the nronertv went direct under these circum stances to the step-daughter In which case j . ' . , .. I 1 1 .. I.I n 4n a nTl.t.pa I i tne estate woum w ii.id 1 " ...... - Inherltsnce ta. of about $1,000. On the part of the step-daughter, it Is contended that the property went first to Mrs. Busch, whose death was subsequent to that of her husband, and from her "under th operation of the will to Johanna Schultx. The court took his decision under advisement. County Attorney Hess has filed objections to the granting of a new trial to Roy M. Stevens, the linotype machinist, twice con victed on the charge of attempting to as sault 11-year-old Christina Christensen. The hearing on the motion of the defense for a new trial Is set for next Monday. The application for a new trial was based to a large extent upon affidavits of W. C. Lange and wife, witnesses of the state In which they now express doubt as to their Identification of the defendant as the man who called at their house on the night the child waa attacked. The county attorney formally moves to strike out these affi davits upon the grounds that Lange and his wife had already testified on three separate occasions as to the Indentity of their caller. Extracts from the testimony as reported at the two trials and affidavits as to their statements at the preliminary hearing are attached to the motion to strike out. Mrs. Rose Ransdell was. granted a di vorce from Harry Ransdell yesterday on grounds of cruel and Inhuman treatment. The parties were married December 8, 1902. Wlekham's Paving; Plana. , There are visible signs that Contractor Wlckham expects to complete the paving of Lower Broadway from Twenty-fifth street west to the approach of the street railway company's bridge this year.' He haa unloaded about 100 cars, or approxi mately 4.000 cubic yards, of sand along the railroad track on First avenue. H ' The aand has been deposited In. three great piles, one at the corner of Twenty fourth street, another at Twenty-eighth, and the third at Thirty-fourth street. From these points the. sand will be distributed when the work of paving la resumen. me sand" Is brought from the banks owned by the Wickhams, east of Big lake and along side the tracks of the Northwestern rail road. More sand is being constantly added. as a much larger quantity than that al ready on the ground will be needed for the completion of the long strip of paving. work on which will.

Jackson, county superintendent of schools announced yesterday that the ex amlnaiion of eighth grade pupils for diplomas will be held this year about May 1. Last year they were held in March. The examinations were held In March, Mr, Jackson said, as a concession to those who wanted to leave school for other work at that time of the year. Mr. Jackson said that he had decided on the change for the reason that the number desiring to leave school In March Is not large and as a result of the change, some of them may be Induced to remain to com plete the course up to a later date. The early examination, be said, was unfair to the large number of pupils who do remain In school as It deprived them of the greater opportunity of preparation allowed by plac ing the examination at the close of the school year. Instead of being conducted In the towns as formerly, the examinations will be held In the schools attended by the applicants, the teachers conducting the quit. Two day will be allowed In which to complete the examination Instead of one, as had been the rule In the past. No pupil will be permitted to take the examination, who has not attended school sixteen consecutive weeks during the year.

Ladd of tne supreme court today Issued a restraining order restraining the city of Des Moines from erecting a $350,000 city hall till the appeal of the women of Des Moines from the decision of the Polk county district court not allowing them to vote Is heard by the supreme court. The contract for the erection of the new city hall has been one of the bones of con tention In the campaign over the commis sion form of government. The present oc cupants of the city hall and the candidates for commissioners have been running a race over the matter. The election of commis sioners will take place Monday next and they will take office April 1. For the pres ent city council to let the big contract It would have to be let this week.

The city will Issue bonds for the site and erection of the city hall. The bonds have already In fact been Issued for the site and delivered. The women were not allowed to vote and to avoid this, the city officials merely pro vided on the ballot the question "8hall a city hall be erected costing $350,000," not mentioning the matter of bonds. The women contend that the election Is Illegal and this will be fought out before the su preme court. . Anti-Reformatory Society.

A million boxes go out every month to carry a world of sunshine. Are you getting your share? Cascarets act as a bowel tonic, not as an Irritant. They are vegetable. Their action is natural. Their effect Is the same as the effect of some foods. They are gentle; no griping. They are pleasant; no dreading. They are convenient; no waiting. One old way was castor oil. The effect was to grease the bowels, and for a single day. Oil never causes the bowel muscles to act. Other ways were pills, salts and cathartics. The effect was the same as pepper has in the nostrils. They flooded the bowels with fluid. Those fluids were digestive juices. And the waste today means a lack tomorrow. We knew that the method was wrong. That the after-effects only weakened the bowels. But we had no gentle laxatives In the old day. So we waited as long: as we could, then took a big dose of physic. The method today is to take one Cascaret at a time just as soon as you need it. Then the bowels are always clean. Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all drugjrUt. but never in bulk. Be sre you get the genuine, with CCC on every tablet. The price is 50c, 23c and Ten the control of the Illlnols-Ioma circuit of theaters, which Is dominated by Busby Bros, of Waterloo, Qulncy.
