FIVE DOLLARS EACH DAY FOR SERVICES Every Commissioner May Charge Up One Mundred Working Days a Year and Get Full Pay for What- ever Labor He Renders, v that Council Bluffs has an assured ipulation of exceeding 25,000, as demon- (rated by the recent census, the Board t Park Commissioners will henceforth have to do business under the laws Rov- ning cities having such a population, and this will necessitate a change In its makeup. 1t will also give the mombers of the board an opportunity to receive greater compensation for their services than heretofore. In fact, it will make the position of a member of the park board of (his city a most desirable one from a financial pofnt of view. Under the law governing cities with a population under 25,000 the three members of the Board of Park Commissioners have been recelving a yearly stipend of $100 cach, all that they were entitled to. Until about two years or so ago the position | was an honorary one, and there was no emolument attached to the office. The law, however, was amended in the code of 1897, making It so that park comissioners in cities under 25,000 could be pald $100 a vear each in full compensation for their services. Now that it is shown that Coun- il Bluffs takes rank with cities having a population exceeding 25,000, the mem- bers of the par kboard under the law gov erning such cities are entitled to 85 a day, for services actually performed, but the | number of days is not o exceed 100 1} any ar. Thus it will be seen that any mem- ber who puts in 100 days in the year on work connected with his position as park commissioner can earn a salary of $500, What will constitute “services actually performed” is not defined in the statuce, and consequently will be left to the park mmissioner himself to determine. The board meets in regular session once a month, and it is taken for granted that ch such session will represent a day's work. This would be twelve days, so that in order to make up the full complement of the 100 days allowed by the law each | commissioner would have to find sufficient | work to necessitate his services for eighty- | elght other days in the year. Heretofore the board has employed a| secretary at a salery of $50 per annum,| but under the laws governing park boards In ‘cities of 20,000 population or more, it has no authority to employ a secretary. On | the other hand, the law provides that the | board, on organizing after election, shall proceed to elect a chairman ar? secretary, both of whom shall be members of the board. There is nothing in the law pro- viding for the payment of any salary to the secretary. The board shall also be re- quired to appoint a_treasurer, who shall not be a member of the board and who shall give a bond in $25,000. The law spe- cifically provides that the treasurer shall receive mo salary for handling the park funds, Heretofore the city ‘treasurer has acted as treasurer of the park board, and it 18 presumed will continue to do so. The new fiscal year of the park board commences on April 1, when the changes, it is expected, will take place. The board, however, Is not certain as to this, as it i thought possible that the changes should bave taken place immediately on the an- nouncement of the census. The secretary of the board is in communication with the secretary of state on this point, and as soon as he is heard from a special meeting of the board will be held, so that it can take the proper steps (o conform to the laws which now govern it. PROTEGE Aged German Fa Whom He Wan -Father, FORT DODGE, Ia., Jan. 2.—(Special.)— Charles F. Wickman, a prosperous farmer living near Kneirim, a small town not far from Fort Dodge, and Katie Backradt of Henzel, Waldeck, Germany, were made man and wife at the German Methodist church of this city on New Year's eve. The groom is a man upon whom the passage of 64 long years have left its trace, while the fair bride is a buxom German beauty of 22 sum- mers, Many years ago, before Wickman left the sunny vineyards of Germany to try his fortune in the new world, he knew bis present bride as a little girl, the child of old friends of his in Henzel, and when, a short time since word came to him that both the child's parents were dead, it seemed to him in every way fitting that he should assume the place of a father to her whom he still remembered an a little child. His surprise was complete when, instead of the shy damsel whom he ex- pected to see step from the train a few nights ago, a lovely woman greeted him. Their engagement resulted. This is not Wickham's first venture upon the matrimonial sea, as he already has a record of three marriages to his credit, but this fact does not seem to interfere in the least with the affection in which he holds his comely bride from over the sea. The newly married pair are to all appearances the happiest couple which ever left a Fort Dodge church together as man and wife. Wickman is well-to-do and he and his bride will make their home on his well- stocked farm near Klll‘fl’llll MAKES YOUN HIS BRIDE, ries Girl to Davls sells pafnt Second Rural Delivery Route, Froo rural deltvery route No. 2 was in- augurated here yesterday morning.

STUMBLING BLOCK FOR A8 Mayor Jennings Questions Whether Property Owners Cun Be Assessed. Although the matter of the asphaltum paving in the Fourth ward is at a standstill owing to the opposition which developed agalnst It at the last session of the city counctl, Alderman McDonald does not des- pair of bringing it to a successful lssue. Ho has announced his intention of bringing the question up agaln at the next session of the council. Mayor Jennings gives it as his opinion that if a new canvass was taken of the property owners interested on the streets proposed to pave with asphaltum, it would bo found that a majority is opposed to asphaltum and in favor of brick. He said yesterday: “I am of the opinion that It all the pe- titlons, which bave from time to time been filed with the council were rubbed out and a new batch secured, it would be found that & majority of the property owners favors brick. In the first place brick can be laid for $1.67%, as against $2.28, the lowest bid on asphaltum and consequently it brick was used, it would mean a saving of 60 cents a yard to the property owners, In glving these figures I am not intimating that the price asked for the asphaltum is too high, but simply to show the difference between the cost of the two materials. Then agaln there must bo taken into consideration the proportion of the cost that the city will have to bear. There will be two sides of Bayliss park on First avenue and Sixth street, to be paved and the cost of this will have to be borne by the city. There will be the paviog on Sixth street in front of | the federal building and I ses no way by which the city can escape from paying for this as I understand the government under no circumstances pays the expense of any municipal improvements. These facts bave all to be taken into consider- ation and with the present opposition in the council I do not see how Alderman M- Donald will get any asphaltum paving in his ward, unless it should develop that a large majority of the property owners is in favor of it Mayor Jennings also thought that a seri- ous stumbling block in the way of asphaltum was the question whether the property owners could be legally mssessed for the extra cost of the improvement consequent on a ten year guarantee. Alderman McDonald on the other hand insists that a majority of the property owners affected is in favor of asphaltum and asserts his determination to fight for it to the finish. The council will meet this afternoon to inspect the streets, which have been paved for the purpose of fixing the nssessment. Fine skating at Lake Manawa. reception room at the pavilion.

McArthur of Burlington, the newly appointed clerk of the United States district court for the Southern district of Towa, is in the city checking up the office preparatory to having it turned over to him by Colonel. J. J. Steadman, the re- tiring incumbent. Mr. McArthur stated yesterday that he intended to make Counci! Bluffs his head- quarters and not transfer it to Des Moines, as it had been reported he would on as- suming the office. Asked if he intended to make this city his residence, he said that for the present his family would continue to make its home in Burlington and that as to the future, he could not state at this time. There will be no changes for the pres- ent. among the deputies, Mr, McArthur sald, except at Creston, the newly created court, where J. E. Cherry will succeed Captain Mis Colonel J. J. Steadman expects to check over the office to Mr. McArthur before the end of the week. Warm Looks for Ed Kav ugh. A woman claiming to be the divorced wife of Ed Kavanaugh, who was arrested here last August for drunkenness, arrived in the city yesterday in search of her son, who is supposed to be with his father. At the time Kavanaugh was arrested, a small boy, whom he said was his son, was with him The police provided lodging for the boy at a neighbering house, where he stayed until his father was released after boarding out his fine at the city jail. Kavanaugh claimed to be a farmer in search of employment, Mrs. Kavanaugh told Chief Albro that at the time she was divorced she was awarded the custody of the boy, but that her husband had managed to get him out of her reach. She came here from Missouri All the information the police were en- abled to give the woman was that they thought Kavanaugh was living on a farm in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, as he had been seen In the city several times since his arrest last August. Three Defendants D harged. The cases of Henry McDonald, Altred and James Richardson and George, Leslle and Robert Haucks, charged with the ma- licious destruction of cottonwood trees, the property of the Omaha Gun club, on its grounds on this side of the river, were before Justice Vien yesterday. The case against Henry McDonald, Al fred Richardson and George Haucks was dismissed on their paying costs in the ag- gregate amount of $10.85. The other three were tried. The evidence to sustain the charge of malicious mischief was deemed insuffictent and the court accordingly dis- charged the three defendants. Skating at Lake Manawa. The skating at Lake Manawa is attract- ing o number of people there since the motor cars commenced running to the re- sort. The patronage has induced the motor company to provide a warm shelter at the pavilion for the skaters, where coffee and other warm refreshments will be served.

ATTORNEY GENERAL APFROVES ACTION Advice that He Includes, in His Opinion, Inmates of Public Asylums Very Carefully Shielded from All Infections Maladies DES MOINES, Jan. 2.—(Special.)—The State Board of Control today took formal action in regard to a matter which has caused the superintendents of state in- stitutlons a great deal of worry in the past. The board adopted a resolution di- recting that whenever any person is taken to onc of the state institutions to be placed therein, except the state penitentiaries, and it is known that the person comes from a community where there is small- pox, diphtheria or scarlet fever, the super- intendent shall require a certificate that the person has not been exposed to the disease for at least seventeen days before being taken to the institution. The cer- tificate shall be signed by the health offi- cers. 1If the superintendent has any rea- son to suspect that the person has come from an infected community he shall re- quire this certificate, and may require it in any case. The occasion for passing this resolution was @ particularly aggravated case re- ported from the hospital for the insane at Mt. Pleasant. A patient was sent there from Lee county. The woman was sufficiently sane, however, to state to the superintendent that she had only a few days before visited her brother, who wi lying {1l with smallpox. The Lee county authorities took the ground that the in- sane hospital superintendent had no dis- cretion in the matter but must take the patlent. The superintendent refused. Ho finally demanded that a health certificate be secured from the Leo county people. He offered to accept a verbal assurance over the telephone that the patient had not been exposed. Then he telephoned the State Board of Control and was directed not to accept the exposed patient. The board this morning passed the reso- lution making the new rule requiring health certificates with patients, but not before securing from Attorney General Remley a legal opinion on the power of the board to make such a regulation. 1In his opinion the attorney general said: 'he trust imposed upon the board con- sists In more than looking after the safety and feeding and clothing the inmates of the state institutions. It goes without say- ing that it is a duty, and one of the great- est importanc look after the health and physical well-being of the persons whom such institutions are intended to benefit. The health and life of the inmates of the insane hospitals, for instance, I8 of more importance than their actual ‘confinement, No management of such institutions could be considered good or capable which would Ignore every reasonable precaution neces- sary for their health and to prevent the spreading of contagious diseases in such in- stitutions. Shot by His Nephew. On New Year's eve David Allen, a prom- inent farmer of Douglas township, living nearly twenty miles from Des Molnes, was shot by his nephew, Guy Allen, a young man of 21. Thert WH8 no occasion for the shooting, as the familles were on good terms. The bullet was well aimed and struck the elder Allen In the breast, but was deflected by a rib and caused only a surface wound. Young Allen was not ar- rested, as the famlilies desired to hush the matter up, but it is rumored that he will be brought before the insane commis- sioners and be tried for insanity. ¥or Nearly 1,000 Wed.
