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.

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.

Th new round house, It is said, Is to
be only part of big Improvements contem
plated by th Northwestern railroad In

tails. Assurance was given, however, by
the officials here Thursday that the Im

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.

PHONES FOR TRAIHT DISPATCHING
National Commission In vestla-ntina;
System Used by Illinois Centrnl.
SIOUX CITT, la.. 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

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.

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.

ninety-two bushels to the acre from It, and
