ing open verdict:
We find that the said John Johnson came

dump cars In position. This caused the
cars to tilt and the top one fell on top of
Johnson, crushing the life out of him.

MILK REGULATION IS NEXT
City Physician Tubbi Favors More
Stringent Measures.
! BAN PUT ON TUBERCULAR C0W3
Better Price for Pare Lacteal Flald
Prnmlaed It the Dairymen Pay
Meed te People'a
Welfare.
Dr. R. R. Tubba, city physician. In his
annual report to the mayor, recommends
more stringent regulation a to the aale
of milk in the city. A a reault of his
suggestions, It is likely that an ordinance
goernlng the matter will be Introduced
In tl city council at an early date.
In his r'port Dr. Tubbs haa thla to say
a ixi ii I the milk question:
At present there are several dairymen
in ( i un.il Bluffs milking tubercular cows.
In r. !ll delivered In this city may be
fminrt dirt, hair, feathers, threads from
clothing, and. most common of all. water
which hss been taken from wells at
hous?s. or which have received drainage
from adj.tcent' premises.
I know that If the public and the dairy
men get together and talk over the mat
ter leaat five things will happen:
Some cows will be killed. Some milk
men will go out of business. We will
Re' clean milk. Milkmen will easily get
ii I ttrr price for cleaner milk. There
w ill he lea disease, especially among chil
dren. H" makes the following recommenda
tions:
All dairies should be Inspected by the
health department.
All dairymen, or other selling milk from
one or more cows, should be compelled to
hold a license.
This should not be granted unless they
hold a certificate showing that each and
every co-v they own has been tested and
found free from tuberculosis and other
chronic disease.
Al! milk should be delivered In bottle,
and these should be marked with a tag,
label or cover, with the license number
of the dairyman.
The license should also appear on each
wagon.
Persona with chronic or infectious dis
eases should be restrained from handling
or delivering milk.
Dairy stables should be required to be
constructed so that drainage would be
provided.
All manure should be removed at least
twice a day and should be piled where
cow will not have acces to It.
Sheds should not be covered with hay,
straw or manure.
Cow should be kept reasonably clean.
Milk should not be permitted to be taken
Into a kitchen or other parts of & dwell
ing to be bottled.
This work should be done In a special
place used for the purpose only.
Milk should be delivered to consumers
within eight to twelve hours after milk
ing. BOARD RE-ELECT. BEVERIDGR
City School Superintendent Geta Nice
Salary Raise.
J. H. Beverldge waa re-elected superin
tendent of the public schools of Council
Bluffs at the meeting of the Board of
Education Tuesday. His salary for the
ensuing year was fixed at 32,400 an Increase
of $300 over that of last year. Hla re
election was by the unanimous vote of the
six members present. President Tinley
waa unable, to be present and F. J. Capell
presided In hla place.
Member Reed, who recently suggested
the adoption of a merit plan for fixing
the salaries of the teacher In the city
chools started the ball rolling In this di
rection by the passage of a motlcn calling
upon the superintendent to secure from th
principals of the various buildings de
tailed report as to the age, length of
service, condition of health, efficiency, etc.
of every teacher. From these reports the
superintendent will be expected to classify
teachera aa first, second or third grade In
structors. "These report," declared Mr.
Reed, "ought to serve aa a guide when the
time comes for lite board to fix the
salaries. These reports It waa decided by
the board are to be treated In- a atrlctly
confidential manner and the merits, physi
cal and otherwise of the various teachers
are to be discussed only in executive ses
sion at which no one but the members of
the board and the superintendent will be
permitted to be present.
The matter was discussed at some length
before Mr. Reed's motion requiring the
superintendent to procure these reports
was passed. Some of the members salJ
they 'thought It waa going outside the
province of Iho board to inquire Into a
teacher's health and age. "We will be
regarded a aomewhat ungallant in com
pelling a woman to tell her age." suggested
Mr. Klllpack "I fail to see what a wom
an's age haa to do with her qualifications
as a teacher. Of course, h a teacher be
comes physically unable to perform her
duties, we don't want her In the schools."
The question of securing a permanent
place In which the meetings of the board
could be held and where the records, books
and papers pertaining to the school could
be kept waa discussed and finally referred
to the committee on Janitor and supplies.
Among the places suggested waa the tower
room In the Washington avenue school
building In which the aesslons of the board
were held several years ago.
Member Reed does not approve of boys
riding their bicycles to school and blot king
the halls of the buildings with their ma
chines. At hi suggestion the principals
of all the schools are to be instructed nut
to permit any btejcles Inside buildings.
Complaint waa made that young boys
residing In the neighborhood were in Die
habit of climbing the fire escape on the
high school building. Complaint was also
made that a number of windows in the
building have been broken by youthful
marksmen armed with small caliber rifles.
The police are to be asked to locate and
apprehend the youthful marauders.
Miss Grace Holmes of Cherokee, la.,
was elected aa an assistant teacher In the
high achool and her salary fixed at $To.
Misa Anna Van Druff waa elected a
teacher In the Thirty-second street school
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna
tion of Mis Mitchell. Her salary waa
placed at 140.
Chairman Elliott of th committee on
buildings and grounds was directed to
have the property at the corner of Broad
way and Oak atreet recently secured as the
ait for the new achool In that portion of
the city surveyed preliminary to having
plana drawn for the building.
Superintendent Beveridge submitted the
following statistical report for th four
weeks of school ending March 19:

Ten Par fr Cheating:.
J. W. Beck charged with cheating by
false pretenses and thereby acquiring u
week meal ticket without erst waa sent
yesterday, by Justice Cooper, to the oounty
jail to board with Jailer Hill for ten daya.
U. Solomon, who conducts a restaurant on
South Main atreet was the complainant.
He aald Beck repreaented he waa working
for the Great Western railroad and on the
atrength of thla statement, gave him a 15
meal ticket, taking a Security an si gn
ment of Beck supposed wage from the
railroad company. After Beck had eaten
up all but about tl of the meal ticket, Sol
omon attempted to get Ms caah on the as
signment of wage. It waa then that Solo
mon discovered ha had been "Mung." The
railroad disclaimed any knowledge of Beck
and the latter, so Solomon told the court
only scoffed at him when be told him lie
was a delusion and a fraud.
PLAS roil BETTER SEED CORN
Experiment Station to Be Maintained
et Poor Farm.
The experiment station designed to im
prove the quality of seed corn used by the
farmers In this state will be maintained
at the county poor farm at McClellanct
again this year. The Board of Supervisors
at yesterday's session decided to appro
priate the sum of $300 asked for Monday
by A. E. Nelson of the Iowa State Agri
cultural college at Amea. who Is in charge
of the experiment station work, to defray
the expenses of th experimental work at
the poor farm. '
Supervisors Baker. John and Seta voted
for the appropriation, while Supervisor
Bulli and Spencer voted again t it The
two members of the board who opposed
the appropriation did so on the ground, aa
they clelmed, that the authorities of the
state agricultural college had not carried
out tbeir agreement made In connection
with the establishment of the experimental
station last year. They claimed that while
the judging of the seed corn was done,
none of the farmers who had planted seed
at the station had received a report on
the results .as wan promised. Tne failure
of the college authorities to furnish these
reports, Messrs. Bullls and Spencer de
clared, had been a serious disappointment
to the farmers Interested In the results of
the seed growing. The other members of
the board suggested that If this matter
was brought to the attention of the authori
ties at Amea that the reports would prob
ably be forthcoming. In any case this mat
ter will be taken up with the college au
thorities. The board decided to grant the govern
ment the use of the south court room for
federal court purposes during the period
that the.postofflce building will have to be
vacated during the work of remodelling
and construction of th addition. It was
decided to ask a rental of 387.60 a month
from July 1 for the use of the south court
room, the four rooms adjoining and the
Jury room on the third floor and this
proposition will be submitted to the de
partment by Postmaster Haselton. Col. W.
F. Baker, the city member of the board,
waa Authorized to act In the matter for
the county when the board should not be
In session.
County Surveyor J. Harley Mayne. en
gineer In charge of drainage district No. 8,
the Nlshnabotna ditch, waa Allowed pay at
the rate of $6 a day for preliminary work.
The plans of the railroad for a highway
crossing under the tracka of the Great
Western on the Gelse road In York town
ship, about two miles east of Bentlcy, were
approved by the board. The acceptance of
the plans Is, however, subject to the ap
proval of the State Railroad commissioners.
At the afternoon session the board took
up the usual large grist of bills and
claims.

propriations committee of the two house

definite information aa to i lie condition ot
the treaeury and estimate as to the prob
able statua of various funds during the
next year or two. The committee dis
covered that there seems no probability of
an overdraft or a shortage or a deficit,
that there I not now any big stale 1abt,
that there will not be over SoO.OOO deficit
at the end of the period, and in fact that

The year closed with 60 per cent more in
the general fund of the treasjry than at
I balances have been steadily higher the list
the close of the prvlous year and lh;
winter thar they were the previous winter.
From the first of the year the available
funds In the state treasury have steadily
Incressed, and while there has been the
usual fluctuations due to the fact that the
funds for tome of the Institutions are
drawn in large lump sums and frequently
at times when there are few remittances
from county treasurera. yet It Is a fact
that at no. time has the state been em
barrassed and at no time has there been
any occasion fur worry as to state finances.
About S1.S0O.0QO will be appropriated.
Tiie heads of appropriations committee
figure that in view of the moat excellent
condition of state finances, due to the
careful and buslncss-like management of
the affairs of the state by the republican
party :n recent years, the appropriations
may with propriety be slightly Increased
this jear. Nobody senna alarmed just
now about how the legislature Is going to
get the money to "pay off a deficit of at
least I?d0,)" and keep the Institutions
running.
