Malaria is due td impurities in the blood which destroy the rich, healthful qualities
3f the cirrv-latiott, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid. The body is then deprived of
its necessary nourishment and strength, and is unable to resist the countless disor
lert that assail it, and the general system suffers in consequence. The appetite fails,
digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses
snei-y and ambition. Boils, skin eruptions, and sometimes sores and ukers follow
hen the blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic and
jlood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. a S. is best fitted for this work. It is

The annual report of E. R. Jnckson,
county superintendent of schools In Potta
wattamie county, which he completed and
forwarded yesterday to J. F. ltlggs, atate
auperlntendent of Instruction, contains
some Interesting statistics.
In the county, the census of the school
year Just closed showed there were 18,J7b
children between the ages of 6 and 21 years.
The males predominated, there being ,37J,
aa against 8,006 females. Over 2,000 of
these did not attend school at any time
during the year. The total enrollment of
all the schools In'1 the county, Including
those In the city of Council Bluffs, wss
13,006, while the total average attendance
was only MID.
The average cost of tuition per pupil for
the entire county. Including Council Bluffs,
waa $2.47. The highest cost of tuition was
In the Independent school district of Porter- ,
vllle, Lincoln township, where there are
only nine pupils, with an average attend
ance of but seven. The cost per pupil In
this district was 15.82.
Oakland had the distinction of enrolling
the largest number of non-resident pupils,
namely sixty-three, as against only sixteen
In Council Bluffs.
Including Council Bluffs there are 2T.8
school houses In the county, lth J27 rooms

During the year thirty-nine male and SM

CLAIM
DIAMOND
iua
Chief Richmond Will Let Court Decide
th Ownership.
In a suit filed In the district court yester
day, Furnlss M. Scarr, it clerk In the First
National bank of' this city, seeks to re
cover, frsm Major George tt. Richmond,
chief of police, a diamond ring valued at
$1U0. A writ of replevin has been issued
in the suit.
Robert Brown, a clerk In the Sargent
shoe store committed suicide between two
and three months agd on being accused
of the theft of a diamond ring and a dia
mond stickpin, the property of Scarr. The
ring, the poasesslon of r'hlch 8carr now
seeks to obtain, was given by Brown . to
Mlis Margaret Coyle of thla city and by her
turned over to Major Richmond.
In the petition filed by Scarr, It Is stated
that Miss Coyle also claims ownership to
the ring and that Major Richmond, not
knowing to whom It actually belongs,
declines to turn It over to the plaintiff.
The other diamond which It Is alleged
Brown was seen to have worn In his neck
tie has never been, found. When Brown
left the offlco of Chief Richmond the
morning that he took his own life, he os
tensibly went to his room on North Seventh
street for the purpose of getting a diamond
which he admitted having there. His failure
to return with the stone caused Major
Richmond to send an officer to the young
man's room when the fact of his having
committed suicide was discovered.
WATKR COMMITTEE CRTS A ROAST
West Council Bluffs ImproTers Take a
Shot at Report.
The members of the special committee
of business men who devoted much time
and labor to Investigating the water works
question are getting but little thanks for
their work from certain quarters, follow
ing up the refusal of the city council to
entertain the suggestion of Councilman
Bellinger that the report of the committee
be Included in the book of information
lor the voter of the city on the water
works problem, which is being prepared
by the water works committee of the
tlty council, of which Councilman Jensen
's the chairman, the West Council Bluffa
Improvement flub, at its meeting last night,
saw fit to administer a red hot "roust"
to the committee in a set of resolutions
for not bringing In a report which ''ex
pressed the wishes of this club."
Attacking the committee's findings ss
to the financial condition of the city the
resolutions say:
In its rsfetence to property values or
the value of taxable property, it adheres
to the antiquated method under which our
municipal byatem Is conducted, and which
all good cltlsens ought to repudiate for
one more comprehensive and progressive.
The ectual wealth of the city is more
than three-fold the amount clamed hv
the committee, ai-cordlna- to no
authority thun the Cnited States census
mine, and it Is the dutv ot the council
to throw off the yoke of the dnrk as'es
and Increase the assessed valuation and
lower the lax rate accordingly, so the city
can borrow needed funds when necessary
und InveM It in public Improvements anil
other requirements of a growing city.
Th conclusion of the committee that
there would be notliinc wltk which to n.
I tend the plant or cuver extraordinary

emersenrles during the twenty years oc
cupied In paying otf the bonds is at vari
ance with coniiniln sense. Tiie committee
makes no allowance for the future growth
of Council Bluffs In population and Its
various and varied Inc'.ustrl. s.
A member of the committee, when told
cf the action of the West Council Bluffs
Improvement club, said: "I presume if
the committee had brought In a report
recommending the city to go ahead and
buy the present plnnt or build a new one

club would have eulogised us. We reached
our conclusions after giving the matter

reached nny other conclusion, as time will
show. The figures and facts are there
and they do not lie."

Nonunion Men Forced Ont.
MARSHALLTOWN, la., Aug. 26-(Spe-clal.)
The non-union laborers employed by
the Iowa Central to fill the places of Its
shopmen, who struck on April 22, will
beginning with Tuesday, be scattered about
the city In various boarding houses and
hotels, where they will be fed and given
lodging. The boarding firm which has been
boarding the men in the company's shops
today closed Its local business. The com
pany, which has been housing the men In
Its car shops, Is tearing out the quarters
used by the men. This move forces the
non-union laborers to seek meals and
sleeping quarters outside the company's
property. In some quarters about the city
It is expected that the scattering of the
men about town will precipitate numerous
clashes between them and the strikers.

LEGISLATORS ARE CALLED
Primary Law to Be Amended to Secure
Vte on Choice for Senator.
BRINGS HARMONY INTO PARTY
Elimination of This Klcht rata Away
the Only Hope Democracy Had
of "retiring Aaythlnic In
State Election.
DES MOINES. Aug. 2C.-tate yesterday
evening Governor Cummins Issued his proc
lamation for the special session of the leg
islature to amend the state primary law,
fixing; Monday, August 31, as the day for
convening-. The proclamation sets forth
the governor's reason for convening the leg
islature his belief that an overwhelming
majority of the people of the state ..are
in favor of expressing their choice for
United States senstor in the primary elec
tion. Nearly 1,000 republicans were In confer
ence here today to allay the factional strife
that has torn the psrty during the lest few
years, and which Is believed by many to
be a menace to the success of the republi
can ticket in this state.
The feature of the occasion was Governor
Cummins' announcement that he had de
cided to call a special session of the legis
lature to dispose of the senatorial matter,
which since the death of Senator Allison
has threatened to renew the old fight.
This special session Is ssked to amend the
state primary law to permit the republican
voters to select the senatorial candidate at
the regular election in November, instead
of leaving It to a legislative caucus.
Many leaders of the party were present
and most of the Iowa delegation In con
gress. Senator Dolllver was one of the
speakers.' He accepted the decision of the
governor in good part and declared him
self unequivocally for a harmony program.
George D. Perkins, editor of the Sioux
City Journal and an opponent of Governor
Cummins for the gubernatorial nomination
two years ago, declared that his reason
for asking that the senatorial nomination
be. submitted to a primary election was that
It would make possible the election of all
republican legislative candidates and pro
vide for an unbiased expression on the mat
ter. Harmony la .Assured.
A3 a result of the meeting republicans are
going home tonight confident in a feeling
that harmony has been secured in the ranks
of the party. The idea of calling the legis
lature together to arrange for another pri
mary election choice for United States sena
tor at the November election seems to meet
with favor with most and with ready ac
quiescence by all others. Following tbe
addresses by Cummins and Dolllver today,
Auditor Carroll, the iximinee for governor.
Congressman Lacey, George D. Perkins,
Congressmen Smith and Dawson, Speaker
Kendall and Attorney General Byers all
spoke. They all urged narmony. Major
Lacey said that he felt he was being called
in to advlte after the decision was made.
He felt that lie did not warjt any slump In
the party such as the bead of the ticket
got two years ago. There were cries of
"Who did . it?" "Your fellows did the
scratching," and the like. There is not
seemingly the least of 111 feeling tonight
m any respect. ' f he conference broke up
after these speeches. The committee will
meet further to dlsfuss campaign measures.

AFFAIRS AT S0UTH OMAHA
South Omaha Puckers Xnt Interested
la the Power Pro
ject. Inquiry among the South Omalm packrs
has developed the fact of a completj lack
of Interest In the proposition of the Ne
braska Power company to furnish power
to the city of South Omaha. Under the
proposition offered the city wss to either
buy the power plant outright or contract
to take so much of the power as they
might agree upon. The city council was
favorably enough Impressed to pass a
resolution that the plan looked feasible,
and advising that a conference of the com
pany and the South Omaha packers should
be authorized. The management of Swift
and Company said they had given the
question no thought and at a glance would
be Inclined to be pretty cautious on a
proposition of that kind.
H. C. Howe of Armour A Co., said: "They
need not come to us looking for help. If
they have a good thing let them show It
and when the power Is brought here and Is
practically demonstrsted ss cheaper tt will
be on easy matter to secure subscribers.
In the first place I do not believe that the
city could enter Into the kind of a contract
proposed. They could purchase the plant
and use tt for lighting. If they chose, but
they could sell no power to Individuals.
Like all propositions of this kind the good
things never require sny soliciting, but
those which sre visionary are likely to be
found only under that class of propositions.
"If the city merely wants light for muni
cipal purposes and Is not satisfied with
the present contracts. It Is likely that ons
of tho big packing houses which Is provided
with hesvy machinery which Is not run at
all might be only too willing to furnish
all the light needed. The city has less than
200 lights. Armour & Co., could easily fur
nish that much power and not feel It."
Power for Incandescent service Is pro
portionately diminished according to the
candle power, but the aggregate of all 'the
smaller lights used amounts to more than
Ihe arcs. The contrsct of the Omaha Elec
tric Light & Power company expires within
a comparatively short time. This Is one
reason why the Nebraska Power company
saw fit to advance Its proposition.
"It seems to me thst Omaha, not South
Omaha, should be the municipality to con
sider this proposition, If It Is a good one,"
said Mr. Howe In conclusion.
The city council met for a few minutes
last night for the purpose of advancing the
ordinance for' the opening of Twenty-fifth
street across the Union Pacific and the
Rock Island right-of-way. It seems that
the council has yielded to the pressure of
the residents of the section most desiring
the street opened, although the mayor is
Inclined still to hsve confidence in the
promises of the corporstlons to build a
viaduct. The residents have tired of the
delays and are Insistent In their demands.
A meeting was to hsve been called early
In September to consider the viaduct prop
osition finally. If the ordinance now be
fore the council should pass, It Is likely to
be resisted by the rosds.
M. D. Brewer of Canton, O., Is visiting
Ms brother, G. II. Brewer, for a short
time. Mr. Brewer arrived from Ohio Mon
day. He comes from the city of McKinley,
where the personality of the third martyi
was best known. He said: "The city Is
much wrought up over the fact that the
old home and residence of the president
have been sold and the property turned to
use as the site for a large hospital. Every
thing has been moved away, and the per
sonal property has been scattered among
numerous relatives and heirs. It is looked
upon as a most rcgretable thing that these
effects and the old home might not have
been kept Intact, and a second Mount Ver
non erected at Canton. Another thing
which c.-.uses still more regret is tl.it a
sister of the1 piesldent stands . willing to
buy the house and donate It to the National
Historical society, provided the heirs re
More all the personal effects as they were
at the time of the great man's death. This
the relatives . are apparently unwilling to
do, and the historical society will not ac
cept the donation otherwise. So It appears
that the effects of the president are des
tined to be scattered to the four winds."
