The question of establishing a night school was brought up again by Superintendent Saw- yer, who presented a petition from twenty-five persons under 21 years of age, asking the board to establish a night school, nasmuch as they were unable to attend the regular day schools. He recommended that an ad- vertisement be inserted in each daily paper in the city asking all would attend such a school to send their names to some | given address, in order to ascertain how popular the scheme would be. It was de- cided to adopt the recommendation, and the committee appointed at a previous meeting to investigate the advisability of the plan was given further time who Mr. Mynster was granted the privilege of taking plctures of puplls at recess, pro- viding arrangements could be made with the various principals Chairman Bridenstein of the committee on teachers reported that on account of the | sickness of Miss Laura Long, teacher in the ue B school, he had found it necessary ppoint Miss Elfa Miles to the position of substitute, The report was adopted.

There was also a good deal of discussion as to whether teachers should be paid for Thanksgiving day when there was no school. Director Fonda thought they were not _entitled to any pay when they did no work. Bridenstein felt that in view of the hard times and good wages that were being paid, the teachers could not object very much if the strict letter of the contract were com- plled with, and the pay for the hollday was cut off. President Field expressed himself the same way, and Dr. Snyder was the only one to stand up for following custom rather than strict law. As an upshot, the teachers will not be paid for their day of vacation. As an aid to superior cookery Dr. Price's Baking Powder, besides its greater purity, is of higher leavening power than any other. Interesting Revival Meetings. The revival meetings at the Broadway Methodist Ep'scopal church, conducted by Rey. Joseph Stephan, are attracting wide- spread attention throughout th city and bid fair to be the most successful held here in years, He addressed three large meetings Sunday. ‘The men’s meeting at 3 p. m. attracted some 200 men, who listened to the address, and at the close about a dozen rose to their feet asking for the prayers and help of Christian people to start a different mode of life. The gathering was not one composed entirely of church members, but was a_representative gathering of men in all the walks of life, and the speaker was unanimously requested at the close of his talk to give another next Sunday at the same hour. It only needs the support of the Christian people of the city to bring into activity such a crusade against vice and immorality as has never been seen here. The city needs it bad enough and hun- dreds who are not professing Christians will join in the good work when they find that those who are have taken up the fight with energy. The public, especlally especially those who are not regular church-goers, are in- vited to attend these megtings, and the church-going people are asked to rally to the support of the worker. Rev. Mr. Stephan is a speaker of peculiar power. He was an assistant to Spurgeon in his work in London and is earnest and sincere in his manner. He will address a meeting for women only at the Broadway Methodist Episcopal church at 2:30 this afternoon. Wanted a g Good girl for general housework. 2132 Avenue B.

Oil cake, $1.40 per sack at Davis', Wrote a Warm Let or. Mrs. Jennie Clatterbaugh, a very pretty woman from Missourl Valley, was brought before United States Commissioner Steadman yesterday to answer to the charge of sending an obscene letter through the mails. From the story as it was divulged in the office, it seems that her husband, who is a blacksmith at Missouri Valley, has a habit of going on sprees once in a while, and when he has succumbed to the witchery of the flowing howl he secks the society of a woman whose morals are darker than her face. Mrs, Clatterbaugh at last became exceedingly angry at the carryings on of her worse half, and wrote the offending woman a letter in which she stated that her husband would not be seen with her excepting when he was Irunk. In emphasizing this statement, it is claimed, she used some very strong language, which made her liable to the governmental laws. She waived examination yesterday atternoon, and was bound over to the federal grand jury. She gave a bond in the sum of 3500 for her appearance at the March term and was released.

Coode Wili Confes Harry Coode, the defaulting cashier of the Heyn Photograph company of Omaha, has decided not to fight the charges against him, but will enter a plea of guilty. He says he might as well be put to work on his sentence, as he will have to serve it sooner or later any how, and the sooner the better. This takes away another grain of comfort from Charles Sherraden, Marvin White and C. Leipold, who signed his bond. They had rather hoped that the Heyn people would be put to the proof, and that perhaps a link or two in their evidence might possibly be found missing. Wilsou Goes to Cherokee. D. H. Wilson, the alleged forger and all around dead beat, was taken to Cheroke . yesterday by the sheriff of Cherokee Leounty, for a preliminary hearing op the charge of forgery.

Queer Econo “It's a queer sort of economy a lot of the Council Bluffs taxpayers are practicing,” re- marked a well known and level-headed busi- ness man yesterday afternoon, “in assigning thelr claims for excessive taxes to an at- torney who gobbles half of the amount for turning over to the property owner the other half. The drawing out of this money will make a hole in the county treasury which will have to be filled up by an increased tax- ation. These very same taxpayers will then have to pey the county back, not only the half of the judgment secured against the county, but the other half as well that was turned over to the attorney. The probability is that after it has been definitely decided by the supreme court that the tax was really excessive the county treasurer will be in- structed to refund all excessive taxes to the property owners. Then they will be able to read their title clear to the whole amount, in- stead of having to divide with the lawyer.” Qregon Kidney Tea cures all kidney vles. Trial elze, 25 cents.

At their meeting yesterday afternoon the park commissioners decided to continue work in Elmwood park during the balance of the month. The secretary reported that there would remain about $4,500 in the main- tenance fund after paying salaries for the remaining quarter, and it was the unanimous opinion that some of this money should be expended in completing the boulevard to Leavenworth street. Thefe was considerable discussion with re- gard to the contemplated action of the charter amendment committee in recommend- ing that the commission give the preference to old soldiers in the matter of employment While most of the members were favorably disposed toward the veterans, they took the ground that it was a mistake to suppose that the board had any positions to dispose of which did not require able bodied men. A resolution was finally adopted which pro- vided that in the future the veterans should have the preference, all other considerations being equal. ——— Prof. Peter Latz, city chemist of Indian- apolis, says: “I can recommend Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder to every housekeeper as pure, wholesome and effective.” SRR LA Wear-Frice Nuptinls. One of the prettiest church weddings of the season, if not for several seasons, was solemnized last evening at § o'clock at the First Congregational church, Rev. T. J. Mackay, In the absence of Dr. Joseph T. Duryea, officiating. The contracting parties were Miss Mary Price, daughter of Mrs. Nathan Price of this city, and Mr. Theodore G. Wear of Topeka, one of the prominent business men of the Kan:as capital. They were supported by a retinue of young men and young women, the bride having the honor of being escorted by six bridesmalds and a ring bearer. The bridesmaids were Miss Curt's, Miss McClintock and Miss Thompson of Topeka, Miss Orcutt, Miss Palmer and Miss Baum of Omaha. The groom was rep- resented by his next friend, Mr. Edson of Topeka, the ushers being Messrs. Treat, Gould Deitz, John Burgess and W. H. Wheeler. The bride was exceedingly beauti- ful in white satin entraine, with high neck and balloon sleeves, the gown being richly ornamented with real lace. She carried a handsome shower bouquet of white roses, while the bridesmaids largely carried chrysanthe- mums to match their costumes. A pretty feature of the wedding was the dignity with which Brownie Bess Baum, the ring bearer, scattered flowers in front of the wedding party on their exit from the church. Mr and Mrs. Wear left last night on a wedding trip. 2o About Croup. Croup Is a terror to young mothers. To post them concerning the firet symptoms and treat- ment 18 the object of this item.

Ligquor Traffic and sume Interesting sido the Lights, CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Nov. 19.—(Special | Telegrari)—It Is just now becoming pain-| fwly apparent to a certaln element of the | republican party of the state of Towa that the secmingly passive quiesence of the prohibi- | tonistse durirg the late campalgn was loaded. Indications all pomnt to the fact that the opponents of the liquor traffic are pre- | paring for one of the most energetic of cam- paigns next year. At the very will be an effort to capture the republican | state convention, as was done in 1883, after the prohibitory amendment to the constitu tion had been knocked out on a technicality. | If the convention is taken a declaration for the enforcement of the old state-wide pro- hibitory law will be made. If the plan faiis an open bolt and a third party fight is threaten Hon. L, §. Coffin of Fort Dodge in an | interview today said he declined the nomina- tion for governor on the third party prohibi- tion ticket outset there | in 1502 for the simple reason that he could not sce any other result than | the clection of Boles if e did so. He could | not see that Jackson would withdraw, even it he had a great followi and it would have resulted in the defeat of both if he bad staid in the field, and he could not con- sent to the election of Boles. He thought if the prohibitionists stood right by the party | they would take the proper stand eventually He says 1o promises were asked or made, | and that the letter of declination was writ: ten before he had seen any one. He did not look for the passage of the mulct law, which he believed to be the best ever enacted allowing ‘the operation of saloons. Mr. Coffin says he believes the republican party will yet give the people prohibition, but it not he and his co-workers have no use for it. NOW WELL ORGANIZED. This talk of Mr. Coffin’s is the more significant when taken in contection with the work in which he is now actively engaged. Last May at Mount Pleasant a gathering of prohibition wheel horses organized, after a full consideration of the situation, the Iowa Constitutional ~ Amendment league. Its avowed purpose is to secure an amendment to the constitution similar to the one defeated in_the courts twelve years ago. Since the meeting at Mount Pleasant the workers have gone throughout the state organiziug, until now there is a representa- tive of the league in every school district. These are actively engaged in propagating the doctrine of constitutional prohibition, preaching it as the the duty of the republican party to bring about this great reform. Fail- ing In this the republican’ party is to be deserted and the course of prohibition is to be pushed forward, by an independent organization. When the next state tion is called to order a scene very ‘similar to that of 1883 may be looked for. Then the decision of the supreme court, which cut out the constitutional amendment adopted in republican conven- 1882, had aroused the. prohibitionists to a most intense pitch of political enthusiasm. Very few of the old-time politicials got to that state convention. In every district of the state the prohibitionists had been work- ing with the energy of zealots, and the re- sult was a multitude of new faces in the thousand that faced the chairman. Buren R. Sherman’s nomination was on a plank that resulted in his .attaching his official signature early In 1884 to the prohibitory law that the mulct law was intended to suspend in redemption of the celebrated thirteenth plank of 1893. Governor Larrabee was elected to succeed Governor Sherman. Pronounced prohibitionist personally he gave his earnest be a candidate for the nomination for gov- official efforts to the enforcement of the|ernor. I felt that financially I could not prohibitory law ‘as reinforced by the Clark | afford it. I said o then, and my experience bill, which was adopted by the|has confirmed my judgment as then ex- legislature of 1886, This was sup-| pressed. Not unmindful of what I owed to posed to be the acme of ingenuity in|my fellow republicans and my party, the the way of statutory prohibition. Its advo- | nomination coming to me as it did, I ac- cates claim for it all the virtues of perfec- | cepted. I desire now to turn my attention tion. During the two Larrabee terms all the legal machinery in the state was kept busy | with the enforcement of the law, and for a while Iowa was probably as “dry” as a great state will ever become WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS. On the records of the courts of all grades is written the story of the great fight that was made to stamp out the liquor traffic. It is a record of crime and fanatical zeal unparalleled in modern history. On the one hand the bootlegger and joint keeper, and on the cther the prohibition attorney and con- stable, and between them the taxpayers of the state, who paid the bills. From the cold- blooded assassination of Rev. George Had- | dock at Sioux City to the blowing up at Muscatine of the home of Editor John Ma- hin with dynamite, the recital Is a sensa- tional one. Every hamlet, village, town or city has its chapter. But thers seemed a change in sentiment. Slowly the saloon re- appeared n the larger cities, and the join became more and more numerous throughout the smaller places, until in 1893, ten years after the fight began with such desperation, the republican party was forced to confess that prohibition was a failure; that neither blood nor money could make the law ac- complish its end, and that the advocacy of the plan had cost the party control of the state, and further support would surely lose it a United States senator. In the convention at Des Moines for the first time in ten years a majority of the delegates were opposed to prohibition, and favored such modification of the law as would bring the liquor traffic under control of the authorities. The fight that ensued was an earnest one on the part of the advocates of a change, and a desperate one on the part of the prohibitionists, who saw their doc- trine being crushed. Only A compromise could prevent a hopeless split. This was reached in the plank which declared state- wide prohibition a failure; declared prohibi- tion to be no test of party fealty, and pledged the republican party of the state of Iowa to the enactment of such a law as would secure to localities where the prohibitory law was a success all its benefits, and to communities otherwise the ‘right to control the traffic. 5 THEN THE MULCT LAW. This plank eventually found expression In the mulct law, now before. the supreme court for an expression as to its constitutionality. John H. Funk of Hardin gounty was chair- man of the committee which proposed the mulet bill. He is a propounced prohibi- tionist, and the majority f his committee was of the same faith., It was the object to frame a law which would earry out the letter of the platform pledge and still make it| impossible to run an open ®aloon.

He says: “With wise, pa- triotic and faithful leadership, the present victory means twenty years or more of un- interrupted republican supremacy, state and national.” The governor continues: herewith I desire to emphasize what I have £aid to you many times perconally, that the most substantial compensations of a pub- lic office are not equal to the common de- mands. This I realize from personal experi- ence. This situation confronted me last ear, when good friends were urgng me to the “In connection to the obligations of my famlily and to earn for their comfort and education what the In- public_office available for such offices does not afford. In saying this I am not without appreciation of the great honor my party has done me and the still_greater honor expressed by the people of Iowa in my election as their chief executive. “I shall not, therefore, be a candidate for renomination, and cannot accept the nomina- tion should it be tendered me. I am led to make this announcement now that the re- publicans of the state may be apprised of my conclusion at this early date; that all who desire to be candidates may have an equally fair opportunity.” Secretary of Slate McFarland and Mayor Hillis of this city are already mentioned as possible candidates for governor. ALLEGED EMBEZZLER ON TRIAL. First of Several Sensational Cuses in Court at Sloux City. SIOUX CITY, Nov. 10.—(Speelal Tel gram.)—The trial of the first of the cele- brated county cases growing out of the al- leged embezzlement of nearly $200,000 was called in the district ~ court today. It is the case in which it is sought to re- move from office Supervisor Strange, who is accused of being the head of what is called the stealing faction of the board. On the outcome of his case depends whether or not three other members of the board hold their offices, and in certain measure the crim- inal cases commenced against Supervisors Strange & Hunting and Epps for extor- tion, embezzlement, etc. The entire day was spent in the securing of a jury, and at adjournment the task had not been completed, although a venire of fifty Jurymen was exhausted. A special venire of thirty jurors has been summoned | to appear tomorrow.

Tn addition to these there are nearly 100 criminal cases against the members of the | board on charges of extortion, embezzlement, malfeasance in office, etc., that will come up in rapid succession at this and following terms of court.
