Hot Ashes start Fire.
Hot ashes wero responsible for a fire yes
terday morning which destroyed a small
barn at the rear of the residence of O. J.
McManus, former county superintendent of
schools, at 1110 East Pierce street, and par.
tlally destroyed a large storage barn on
the premises of J. F. Wilcox, the florist.
Mr. Wilcox,, who also owned the premises
occupied by Mr. McManus, placed his loss
at about tt.CW. The loss on the big storage
barn Is covered by Insurance, but Mr. Wil
cox wis unable to state whether the smaller
structure was similarly protected.
The tire. It was stated, started from the
dumping of a bucketfull of hot ashes by a
domestic In the McManus household along
fllc'e cf the bnrn at the rear of the residence.
When the fire was discovered the barn was
a mass of flames and, with Its contents,
was burned before the firemen could do
anything. Thej flames quickly spread to
tho larger - storage barn on the Wilcox
premises, which was only about twenty
flVe feet away, and the firemen on their
arrival concentrated their efforts on saving
the Inrger structure. The barn was filled
with baled hay and It required an hour of
hard work on the part' of the firemen be
fore the fire was under complete control.
The upper part of the Wilcox barn was
practically destroyed and, Including the
hay, of which there was three carloads, and
the grain, Mr. Wilcox estimated his loss at
... $.',500. ' ,
In the McManus barn a buggy, two bi
cycles, harness, grata and other property
of a total value of about Ti were burned.

Where Cats Are Made.
To come within the revenue anticipated
for the coming year It was found necessary
to reduce the appropriation for the police
department $1,600 and that for the fire de
partment $1,000. It will be necessary on
account of this reduction In the appropria
tion for the police department to dispense
with the services of a police matron, whose

The appropriation for the streets and al
leys fund is cut $1,000, while that of the en
gineer' office Is reduced $260.

the claim had been referred. It was decided
to pay Firemen Ed Walker, who lost his
right foot as the result of a runaway ac
cident, $7uo, and to recommend to the Fire

permanent position in the fire department,
it was stated by the committee that the
Fire and Police Commission had agreed to
retain Walker in his present position in the
deimrtment.
Several matters were referred to the
committee of the whole, among the number
being the protest of Droge Brothers against
the opening of Eleventh street. On motion
of Councilman Fleming, It was decided to
hold a meetiig of the committee of the
whole Monday afternoon at i o'clock, but
as this Is election day and the majority
of the councllmcn will be busy at the
polls, it Is expected the meeting will go by
default.

Lots Secured and Pastor Named for
New Catholic Parish.
The erection of a Roman Catholic church
In tho western part of the city Is now
assured. Three lots, forming the former
homestead of A. C. Harding at the south
east comer of Twenty-third street and
Avenue B, have been purchased and the
building of the church edifice, It Is said,
will be begun In the near future.
Rev. John O'Neill, chaplain at St. Ber
nard's hospital, has been .appointed pastor
of the new congregation 6nd is taking ac
tive Bteps toward the erection of a suitable
church building. Definite plans for the
proposed edifice have not yet boen made,
but It is said that a building costing about
$12,000 will be erected. The building will
be so planned as to permit of additions
when necessary.
With the rapidly Increasing population In
the western part of the city the need of a
Roman Catholic church In that section has
been felt for some time. Bishop Davis on
his visit to Council Bluffs some time ago
Investigated conditions In that section
of the city and gave his consent for the
establishment of a church there. Recently
he appointed Father O'Neill to the con
gregation to be gathered there.
The church owns several lots on Avenue
A near Thirteenth street, which Were given
by Father McMenomy, a former pastor of
St, Francis Xavler's church, as a possible
site for a church building at some future
date. This property, however, was deemed
to be not sufficiently west for the proposed
new church and probably will be sold, the
proceeds to be used tn the erection of the
new edifice.
Traveler Shortchanged. '
S. Ingalls, an elderly man enroute from
Arkansas to Belle Fourche, S.' P., was the
victim of a short change artist on the train
between St. Joseph and Council Bluffs, ac
cording to the story he related to the po
lice yeBterday morning. Shortly after the
train left St. Joseph Ingalls was approached
by a stranger who displayed a good sized
roll of bills of small denominations and
asked Indalls to give him some bills of
larger denomination In exchange. The
stranger counted out eleven $5 bills and
fifteen $1 bills, for which Ingalls handed
him In exchange five $10 bills and one $20
bill. The stranger, after profusely thank
ing Ingalls, disappeared. Later, when In
galls recounted his money, he discovered
the stranger had handed him but fifteen
$1 bills with a single $5 as a wrapper, and
that consequently he was out $50 on the
deal.
Ingalls, on reaching Council Bluffs, re
ported the matter to the police, but was
able to give but a meager description of
tbe stranger who had film-flammed him.

In tbe Person of Krancls
It. Korna.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 27. (Special.)
Money In the general revenue fund of the
state treasury Is continually Increasing
and It is believed that there will be no
danger of warrants having to be stamped
for lack of funds till the next legislature
meets at least. The balance In the fund
at present is above the danger line. State
Treasurer Morrow has addressed letters
to all the county treasurers of the state
asking them to forward as soon as possi
ble the amount due the state from the
state tax or as much as is on hand, so
that the funds will be In good shape.
There will be a low condition of the rev
enue fund in October of this year, but
with the knowledge In advance that the
funds' will run low at that time, State
Treasurer Morrow Is confident that he can
avoid danger of the funds running out
and having to stamp warrants.
If the state treasurer had been able to
anticipate conditions there would have
been less danger during the period that
Is Just passing. During the last few
weeks of 1907 there was an extra heavy
drain on the general revenue fund and
the receipts were extra light. This con
dition was beyond all expectation and
hence no preparation was made for it.

Victory May Mean Much.
IOWA CITY, la., March 27. (Special.
The victory of the local Interuban line over
the Northwestern Vallroad Is a far-reaching
matter, as the local line is the first to at
tempt compel the steam railways to
schedule through freight rates with the
electrio lines. If the decision stands fire In
the courts, as It will In the opinion of many
of the local attorneys, it will establish a
new precedent in the matter of the law of
freight transportation. The intcrurban at
this point has been compelled to handle
only local business, as the railroads at
Cedar Rapids and at Iowa City refused to
glvo through rates or to form any har
monious relations with th electric road.
Now the matter will be covered by the

who have taken advantage of the utilities
