Iowa FACTOR IN WATER BOND CASE Little Other Baalnees Transacted Meeting; of the C'oaarll, Which Adjourns to Monday Even Ing, March SO. at At the meeting of the city council yes terday afternoon City arflcitor , Kimball, to whom had bten referred the demand of tounsol for the C. B. Nash company of Omaha that the record of the alleged met- ng of the city council on the night of September 7 last be expunged from the minutes submitted the following: Upon Investigation I find that there l some omission and Inaccuracy In the record teferred to in the communication. I have therefore prepared a resolution which Is hereto attached, wr h'h In my Judgment will properly correct the record In ac cordance with the facts. The rcrolutlon referred to by the city solicitor, which at hln suggestion was adopted by the council yesterday after noon. Is as follows: .Whereas. On the 10th day of March. 1W8. a notice was served upon the city council ard city clerk of this city, reciting that the records or tne meetings and proceedings of the city council In book D nt page 373 are Incorrect in that certain members of the council were not present at the meeting of Bcptemtier 7, 1. and r.eieas. 1 here are certain omissions In the records of the meeting of September 2 relative tncreio, and Whereas. At the meeting of September ?. It was agreed without objection that the council should adjourn the regular meeting fixed for September 7, IH08, t.i Tuesday evening, September 8. 1008. at S o'clock, nnd Wherens. The said records failed to show such agreement, now therefore be It Resolved, That the city olerk of this cltv supply the omission In the said record of the said meeting of September 2. 1BU8. bv Inserting therein before adjournment the following: "By agreement and without oh Jectlon It Is ordered that the regular meet ing of September 2 he- adjourned on that data to September 8, 1908 at 8 o'clock o. m . and tnat tne city clerk make a record of such proceedings." And be It further Resolved. That the city clerk of this c t correct the record or the council proceed ings or September 7, 1SH, to read as fol lows: "Council proceedings September 7. 1908. City hall, September T, 1908. Regular session. Council met pursuant to agree ment in regular session. Present council men, Skodsholm and Jensen. There being' no quorum present by unanimous consent of all persons, the council was then ad journed to Tuesday evening, September 8. at 8 o'clock, pursuant to agreement. What Minutes Show. September 7, to which time the minutes of the meeting of September t show the city council adjourned, was Labor day, and in accordance with the usual custom no session of the council was held on that night. It generally being understood among the councllmen that the meeting would bs held on the following night, Tuesday, Sep tember 8. The records of the city council, however, show that on the night of Sep tember 7 "all members being present," an adjournment was taken to September 8. These minutes were never signed by Mayor Maloney. The petition asking the city council to submit to the electors of the city the prop osition to Issue the $000,000 water works bonds was presented to the council at Its meeting on the night of September 8 and was favorably acted upon the same night The C. B. Nash company contends that this action was llldgal and that the law require that such a petition be filed at one meeting and action taken on It at the next succeed ing meeting. Beyond discussing and adopting the reso lution as submitted by Mr. Kimball there was but little business before the council. The city clerk was directed to telegraph to the representatives from this county In the state legislature to oppose at the proper time the public utilities bill. Coaatr Asked to Aid. Mayor Maloney was appointed a commit tee of one to confer with Colonel W. F. Baker of the Board of Supervisors with a view to securing aid from the county In bettering the condition of Lafayette avenue between Oakland avenue and Oakland Drive. Seth May was granted a permit to con duct a saloon at 326 Broadway, where he has been conducting such a business for several years. Meeting as a committee of the whole prior to the session as a city council the council men again declined to take any action on Councilman Bellinger's ordinance providing for the division of the First precinct of the Sixth ward Into two voting precincts. It was contended that the question of fixing a dividing line needed further Investiga tion. The new ordinance regulating the duties of the superintendent of markets the offi cial who Is better known under the title of city welghmaster, was referred to a special committee constating of the city solicitor snd Councllmen Skodsholm, Olson and Bel linger. The council adjourned to Monday evening, March 29. t Upholstering. George W. Klein, 19 South Main street. Both 'phones. "Have It done right." THASKER HELD IP AD BOBBED Men Who Agrf to show Hint Motel Tarn the Trick. John Mostert. who arrived In Council Bluffs after midnight Thursd.iy by th box car route from Edgerton. Minn., was held up and robbed by two thugs In the Burling ton railroad yards. Mostert, who srrlved In this country from Holland but a few months ago, came to Council Bluffs to go to work for J. F. Wil cox, the florist. Mostert Is said to be an uthorlty on bulbs. When he reached Coun cil Bluffs he was possessed of $9 In cash, pruning knife and a timepiece of a cheap quality. Emerging from the Milwaukee railroad yards onto Main street he encountered two men of whom be Inquired the nearest mod erate price hotul. The men offered to con duct him to one. Instead ' of taking him to a hotel they escorted Mostert to the Burlington yards, where they, proceeded to knock him down and relieve him ,of hlj possessions, including the $9 In cash, the pruning knife and the watch. Mostert whs handled with considerable roughness by the thugs, as they literally tore the buttons off his clothes wh(lo searching his pockets. After taking all Mostert had the fellows made their escape among the freight cars which lined the railroad tracks. Mostert succeeded In making his may to a lodging house on South Main street, tho proprietor of which notified the police of the robbery. Mostert was later taken to police headquarters by Officer Richardson and City Physician Tubus attended to his Injuries, which consisted chiefly of two blackened eyes and a few minor bfuses.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR STATE FAIR Least Battle Kipected to fcnsne Over the Membership of Stnte Board of rharmaelste I'alaters' fit r Ik Serloaa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, .March 20.-(Spoclal Tele gram.) The house this afternoon referred to a special committee the resolution which was reported from the spproprlatlons com mittee censuring tho college board for hav ing built residences for the presidents of the university and 8tste Normal school. The committee was directed to make an investigation. The senate passed the till to fix a min imum allowance for support at the School for the Deaf, also the house bill to permit a penitentiary sentence for assault to com mit great bodily Injury, and a bill to change the rule In factories as to proof of age as to children employed. The senste today passed the bill to pro vide a license for resident hunters. At present the state of Iowa exacts a license fee of $10 for nonresident hunters, and to this is added a license fee of $1 for resident hunters. It Is estimated that this will bring to the state about $30.0(10 a year, to be used In the enforcement of the game laws of the state. The senate Indefinitely postponed the bill to transfer the Insurance department from the office of auditor to thtit of the gov ernor. The movement had been endorsed by Auditor Carroll In his various reports and by a commission headed by the present state auditor, but both are now opposed to the bill. The Insurance Interests also de sired that the Insurance matters be left for the present in the hands of the aud itor. The senate passed a bill making a hill of lading a negotiable instrument, and de fined what It shall contain. The senate debated at length and de feated a bill to abolish the statute of lim itations as to contracts. Money for State Fair. The house appropriated $100,000 for a new steel and stone amphitheater at the state fair grounds. This also Includes the pur chase of some additional land for the state. The appropriation has been agreed upon In the senay also. The house'passed the bill from th senate changing the rule of law as to contributory negligence In matters of accidents to rail road employes. Tho bill has been opposed by the railroad companies, but was de manded by the employes as In line with the national laws The house also asked the recall from the governor of a bill to appropriate $1,000 for the removal of the body of Governor Briggs from Omaha to Jackson county, Iowa, on th ground that an error had been found m the bill which would invalidate it. Controversy Over Offices. No new developments came today In the matter of the change In the pharmacy board to secure a complete reorganization under the new governor. It has been given out from the governor's office that It was all a Joke about a demand being made for the resignation of B. F. Kelts, but Kelts is proceeding upon the theory thst It was In earnest and he has taken the matter up with attorneys and Is pre paring to make a fight to retain his place. It has developed, also, that the board has been acting under an agreement reached several years ago. Old Soldier lilt by Anto. Samuel Wlrsand. an old soldier from Marshalltown, was badly injured when he was hit by a skidding auto in front of the poatofftce building. He was taken to a local hospital and was unconscious. The car hit him when turning a corner; and as soon as the driver could stop he picked up the old man and took him to the hospital. Painters' Strike Serious. Building and improvement operations in Des Moines are being seriously handi capped by the strike of the union paint ers. Fifteen more men quit work today and several dozen non-union men who have been working In the open shops are expected to follow, as they have applied for membership In the union. A. C. Smith of Omaha, fourth vice president of the national union, will come to Des Mofhea next week to take charge of the otrlke. As yet no action has been taken by the master painters.

March .-(SpeciaJ.)-M. C. Keefe of Salt Lake City, Utah, a special inspector for the Interstate Com merce commission, has Just completed an Investigation of the telephone system In stalled by the Illinois Central railroad fir train dispatching. The Illinois Central has 2,700 miles of track on which tha operation of trains can be controlled by thj uo of telephones. Operators along the line d not Ilk the new system, but are not raying much against it for fear of bringing abt-ut a crisis that they believe will come sooner or later. The railroad now Is In control of the situation and the telegraphers feel that the day has passed when they can dictate terms. The object of the Inspection by the federal government Is to test the reliability of the new system, as eventually it will b up to the commission to determine whether the use of the telephone In the direction of trains Is reliable. The legislatures of sev eral states have passed laws against tele phonic dispatching. EXPERT FRUIT MAN HOVOHEn y Charles . ratten Recognised Agricultural Department. CHARLES CITT, la., March 80. tSperhil.i Charles G. Patten, the Luther Burbank of Iowa, has recently received an oppolntmcnt as expert breeder of fruits by the United States Department of Agriculture, tho Iowa State Horticultural society and the Iowa agricultural exirlment station. This Is a recognition of the life-long work carried on by Mr. Patten in the origination and diaaetninatlon of new fruits which have proved to be of great benefit to the north west states. His Patten Oreenlng has with out doubt sdded not less than $1,000,000 to the prosperity of the stste of Minnesota alone, without counting the Immense bene fit to the balance of the upper Mississippi and Missouri valley states. And this is only one of the group of apples and plums which for hardiness, flavor and ability to produce has no equal for this section of the country. Test at Ohtarlo Oats. AMES, la.; March 20 (Special.) The Iowa Small Grain Growers' association is planning to test a new oat by the name of Daubney In many parts of the state this summer. Thla Is a white oat, with strong, medium coarse straw. During the last sev eral years It has provsn to be ths heaviest yielding early oat grown In Ontario. In experimental tests Prof. Zavitg of th On- j tar to experiment station u,uotes a )ULl A RICH HARVEST CAN ONLY BE REALIZED FROM THOROUGH CULTIVATION TO MANUFACTURERS: IF you wished to get the biest harvest from a given tract of land you would not blow seed to the winds thinly scattered over the country. You would plant it regularly and sys tematically in a section no larger than you could have properly watched and cul tivated. You would then get the richest crop possi ble, and if you were wise you would not overwork your land and thus shorten its productive life, but you would produce this year what would help the income from your land next year, and the year after, and so on. It is just so in advertising. The use of so-called national me diums," of general circulation, is scattering your seed too thinly over too great a territory. You may get valuable general publicity in this way but you cannot expect it to do any thorough cultivating. This is no disparagement of general mediums, for space in them is well worth what it costs, but you must not expect them to yield anything like maximum results for a given territory. You can only obtain maximum results and profit from any given locality by the means of Daily Newspaper Publicity. Jhe newspaper will cultivate the local field as no other medium can possibly do it. It goes to the home. It takes the news of the day to the home fireside. It is the messenger between the outer world and the reader you seek to reach. It sells things. By selecting any section of country which best appeals to you for the purpose, you can in a short time and at practically no cost, demonstrate the value of this great cultivating agency the daily newspaper to your entire satisfaction. If you have been a user of space in general mediums, then you are all the more able to get the best value from local cultivation. Take almost any one of ' the general mediums for an example. It may have 200,000 or even 500,000 circulation, but you will not find a great number in any one city or town. You can only get the maximum pub licity by the use of the local daily newspaper. Take for example a cer tain city in Michigan of 100,000 pop ulation. A canvass of 21,132 homes showed that, 19,781 of them took some daily newspaper. Can there be any other way to thoroughly cultivate the home field which can approach the messenger of the day the newspaper ? It stands supreme in power to cultivate trade locally and if you do not recognize the fact you are not awake to your own best interests.
