The proceedings of the Board of Super visors of Pottawattamie county win hence forth be published In five papers of the county Instead of three, as heretofore. In view of the fact that there were two county seats In Pottawattamie county, the board yesterday, after listening to argu ments by attorneys representing the pa-k pers seeking the contract, decided that the county was entitled to publish Its pro ceedings In five official papers Instead of in only three, as has heretofore been done. Inasmuch as only five papers had entered applications to be designated as ths offi cial publications, this did away with any contest and the board awarded the con tract to the following five publications: The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, the Council Bluffs Weekly Times, the Neola Reporter, the Avoca Journal and the Oakland Acorn. They will each receive tS cents per square for publishing the official proceedings of the board. The Frele Presse, a German publication Issued In this city, will alto publish the proceedings at 25 cents a square. As a result of this new construction of the law regulating the number of official papers, the county will pay two-thirds more than heretofore for publication of Its official proceedings. The contract with these papers provides that the proceedings of the board must be published within thirty days. So many attorneys were Interested In the proceedings before the board relative to awarding this contract for the publi cation of Its official business that Judge Thomell was . compelled to order a recess of district court while the lawyers ap peared before the supervisors on behalf of the respective clients. . . After disposing of this matter and at tending to some routine business the board adjourned until February S, but will meet with the supervisors of Harrison county In Joint session as a drainage board on February X.

The bride-to-be was but 17 years of age, but the couple had taken the precaution to bring with them the written consent of the young woman's parents and they anticipated no trouble In obtaining the license which would authorize the ceremony. When Dep uty Roy Hardesty asked the usual ques tions regarding the age and other qualifi cations of the applicants for the marriage license young King produced the document Dearing ine signatures of the young womun's parents. The eagle eye of Dep uty Hardesty, however, at once perceived that the consent lacked the acknowledge ment of a notary public and he declined under the circumstances to Issue the license. The young couple was thoroughly disappointed and showed It as they left the court house after stating they would return home and have the defect remedied.

"Some western city should get busy to secure the next conference of governors," said Governor Shallenberger, who, with Mrs. Shallenberger, arrived last night from the east after his visit to Washington. "The chances are excellent to get the meeting either In Illinois or Nebraska," the governor continued, "slnco It was the opinion that the next session should be held at some point not so close to the political center of the nation, where every Interest with which the governors have to do has an able representative. I see no reason why a Nebraska city should not be selected, though Illinois will doubtless put up a strong fight for the meeting. .
