City Engineer Cook has completed the job of figuring up the cost of paving that might have been used in the track space of the motor line, and finds it to be $2, $119 less than was calculated by W. D. Hardin in the interests of the motor com- pany. This will probably be the amount agreed upon by the motor officials and the city attorney as the amount coming to the company in case anything at all is due them. Armstrong, who is quarantined at the cor- mer of First avenue and Fourteenth street, has not found the menu just what he had expected when he got himself quarantined, and he announced yesterday afternoon that if his wants were not provided for batter he would leave the house and get what he wanted himself.

It is stated on good authority that there are fifty applicants for the position of janitor of the government building. Other offices, as those of mail carriers and clerks, are not so popular, from the fact that they require more work, so that a conservative estimate of the number of applicants places it at between twenty-five and forty on the average. and For sale or trade for improved city prop- erty or unimproved farm lands, an improved farm _in Towa, two dwellings in Cedar Rap- 1ds, Ta., and two fine bred stallions, with records’ below 2:20.

Miller Appointed Temporary Marsha | for the Ecuthern District of Iowa, HE SUCCEEDS HIMSELF TEMPORARILY Hitch in the Democratic Program for Ap- polntments—One Cause for the Slate Pre- pared Long Ago Being Smashed Another Candi The telegraphic dispatches from Washing- ton yesterday conveyed the information that D. B. Miller had been appointed temporary United States marshal for the southern dis- trict of Towa to succeed himself until a dem- ocrat could be appointed. This confirms the report published in The Bee the other day, to the effect that Ed Hunter of Des Moir had shied his castor Into the ring, with fair prospects of it while it is there. When the report was published there some local politiclans who were dis- 1 to doubt its veracity, and among them Hon Thom: Bowman, who was of the opinion Bradley of Audu- bon would get the appointment by Tuesday. It seems that over a year ago a slate was made up, with the names of the internal revenue collectors, marshals and prosecuting attorneys for the two districts of lowa Of these six, five have been appointed and Mr. Bowman at a loss to know why the slate should be broken when Bradley's appointment was the only one to be made to preserve it Intact. He reccived a telegram yesterday, however which confirmed the report published In The Bee, and, although he still clings to the be- lief that Bradle will be the next marshal, he admits that Hunter's plunging into the race just at this time has complicated things 80 that nothing very definite can be said just at present, doing some good were pos was that TOO MANY WIVES, Penchant for Marrying All His Lady Ae- quaintances Makes an Acto ouble Marshal Judd Clark of Fairbury, Neb., was in the city yesterday on his way from Sioux City to his home.

Murdock, and by this time he s in Jail in Fairbury as the result of his penchant for marrying all the eligible ladies of his acquaintance. Although only rs old, he has penetrated far into the s of the matrimonial underbrush, and is sald to have boasted that a woman couldn't get acquainted him without wanting to marry him. At all events, on February 4, 1892, while playing with the Turner-Slocum Theatrical company at Kansas City, he met Sophic. Emmons, married her, and lived with her for threc months, Then he went to Fairbury, met Mamie Bagg, and she went the way of her prede- cessor July 0, a little less than six months after his first matrimonial venture.

BENNISON BROS. __Council Bluffs, Fifteen Were Sick, Something of a commotion was caused in the Thirty-second street school house on Wednesday by an epidemic of sickness that threatened for a time to put a stop to the school exercises. One after another of the pupils was taken with a violent fit of vomit- ing until fifteen had been laid on the shelf. The report was circulated during the after- noon that smallpox had made its appear ance, and a genuine sensation was the result The report proved to be a canard, however, for no symptoms of the disease could be no- ticed besides the vomiting, and ten of the fif- teen came back to their school work yester- day apparently none the worse for their at- tack. Appearances indicated that they had been poisoned in some way, either by the food or the water they had taken. The order recently issued by the State Board of Health, requiring all persons of the state over 1 year of age to be vaccinated, will necessitate some action on the part of the city authorities of Council Bluffs to see that the plaus of the state board are car- ried out. It is probable that a meeting of the local board of health will be held this evening after the council meeting to decide just what plans shall be pursued. There are no new cases of smallpox in the city. Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Huffman, the widow and sister of the man who died with the dis- ease, are both sick, but City Physician Mac- rae states that the symptoms are those of la_grippe, although he cannot tell positively for a day or two. linen satin fancy bor- ¢ towel, during damask Cont, H.

The demo. cratic members of this committee—Oleson, Groneweg, Mattoon and Downey—are appar ently working for party advantage and rofuse to land their assistance to either tion of republicans, who are almost evenly divided. If the democrats could be forced to take any action, the bills could be brought back and placed upon the calendar, where they would be reached in the regular order of business in a short time, Of the eleven republicans on this committee Turner, Boardman, Conaway and Jamison pro- nounced prohibitionists, while Cbairman Funk, with Ellis, Harmon and Waterman, are in fayor of some form of modification. Senator Harsh wanis to swe a moditication along the lines of the muict plan, but if cer- tain of success, would consent to a well guarded local option law. The other two members, Carpenter and Upton, are peculiarly situated. The former represents and resides in Louisa, a very strong prohibition county, while Muscatine, the other county 1 the district, is inclined the other way. These influences will probably hold Senator Carventer in liue with the prohibitionists, Senator Upton represents Winoeshiek and Howard. ‘The former is a strong anti-prohibition repu lican countyy but the des in Howard, where vhe republi said to be almost a unit in favor of the retention of the present law. Could these two senators beinduced to give a cheerful support to some form of local option, the passage of such a measure through the scnate would be al- most assured. As the matter now is, the republicans stand six to five against any change in the aw. Chairman Funk of this committee is about ready to give his consent to nave the bills reported back to the scnate ana placed on the files without any recommendation whatever, and thercoy transfer the battle from the committee rooms to the floor of the senate. to The pssion KILLING IT BY DELAY. The policy of the prohibition element from the very inception has been to delay action us long an possible and rush in re- ports on other bills, so that the files will be 50 encumbered that to reach the local op- tion measures in regular order wiil be well nigh a physical impossibility. For this son the course of the democrats in keeg- ing out of the fight has been highly pleasing to the aicals, and with these elements working in apparent harmouy no solution of the question is now visible, Meanwhile the watter is fast becoming the onc ovel shadowing question'among the people, Judge Blanchard of Mahaska s that on a recent trip to his home he could not go ten feet without Some ' one asking him, What are you going to do with prohibi- tion?” Coupled with this interogatory was the admonition: “If you don’t do somothing the party will not get my vote again.” Representative Ellison of Jores, who made a flying visit to his county a short time ago, also states that this wis the one topic of conversation with those of his constituents he chanced to meet. m present appearances the house com- mittee on suppression of intemperance has become the graveyard of all the various local option and mulct bills, and unless brought back from the committee by un order of the house they \will not be hedrd of again uniess reported back in the closing days of the session as a ere formality. The Sawyer bill. ‘authorizing the manu- facture of both spirituous and vinous liquor: is still in the hands of this committee, a m Jjority of which has steadily voted against every effort of the author to get it back to the house. Senator Rowen of Wright, the leader of the friends of the mulet plan, has made a slight concession in the method of assessing the tax. It reads as follows: “Upon notice being served upon the mayor of any city that liquors are being sold un- lawfully on any location 1n said city, he shall cause to be published in the ensuing num- oers of two pupers in the city, or by posted notice, that 1n ten days from time of notice the penal tax provided by this act shall be effective, but the lien upon the property shall be deemed to be in force from the date of the notice herein provided. This is equivalent to allowing the joint keeper ten days of grace in which to close up his bus- Imess. OPPOSING INSURANCE LEG TON. A strong and persistent lobby represent- ing the insurance interests is here striving to defeat all pending insurance legis- lation. The i bill, requiring all setulements for losses ' to be made in - thirey instead of ninety days, was sent back to the committee today in order to give the insurance men a hearing. The Wyckoff valued policy bill is being held back for the same purpose, and an attempy by the author to get it back to the nouse was defeated. The Root bill, creating an insurance department. has been acted on ad- versely by a subcommittee and is practically dead. The Young valued policy bill, which contains other stringent features, has bee pigeonholed for the present. The Finch bill will be reported back for passage, however, without amendment. In the senate today Hipwell introduced a bill requiring that telegraph oftices in cities of not less than 10,000 inhabitants shall be kept open at all hours. A bill introduced by Senator Reynolds requires barbed wire fences to be removed from around school houses; by Penrose, w regulate and control the sale of intoxicating liquors by taxing the same; by Waterman, authorizing civil townships to levy a special tax to build town halls. A bill ‘vas introduced by Yeomans and passed, authorizing cities of the first class to aid in construction of combination wagon and railroad bridgzes across navigable rivers. The constitutional amendment providing for woman suffrage and the bills conferring upon women the right to vote at school and municipal elections were reported favorably and made a special order for next Tuesday The resolution favoring the early comple- tion of the Hennenin canal was passed, In the house a bill providing for the ex- amination of private bauks was roported for indefinite postponement. Bills were intro- duced: By Ross, 19 indemnify sheriffs for serving writs of attichment 1ssued by land- lords; by Young of Calhoun, to compléte the geological survey. ‘T'he house passea the: following bills: By Coonley, requiring that 8 United States flag, not less than 8xb feet in size, be unfurled in every school room during school hours; by Robinson. to punish bribery at elections “The joint committee on suppression of in- temperance held ai open session to hear Representative Nicall explain the Gothen- burg plun of regulating the sale of liquors. He held that the clement of profit must be eliminated before any satisfactory solution could be reached, auil would cheerfully sup- port any measure ewoodying this principle. J. P. Davis of Des Moines spoke ia bebulf of the prohibitionists. - No progress was made. Further meetings will be held und all sides given full hearing.
