Todd is a printer, but has not been working for two weeks. Fifteen persons, including James Meeks, the keeper, and his family, are quaran tined in the house. Twenty boarders, sev- eral of whom only took thelr meals in the place, were permitted to leave before the house was closed.

A general feeling prevalls among the members of the county bar and others Interested in the creation of an additional judgeship for this district that the state legislature will not enter- taln such a proposition while the superior ‘court is in existence In Council Bluffs. Rather than consent to the appointment of a ffth district court judge for the dis- trict, it is Delleved that the legislature would enact a law extending the jurisdic- tion of the superior court, belleving that this would tend to relleve the congested condition of the courts in this district. The members of the county bar are, it is sald, as a rule opposed to any extension of the jurisdiction of the superior court and favor rather {ts abolition. The superior court can be abolished by tho vote of the electors of Council Bluffs. Upon the petition of one-third of the quai- ifled electors of the city the mayor, by | and with the consent of the city council, shall at least ten days before ny gen- eral election or election for city officers” fssue a proclamation submitting to the qualified voters of the city the proposition. In the event of the proposition carrying. it then becomes the duty of the mayor to transmit immediately a certificate showing such fact to the secretary of state, and such court shall be abolished to take effect upon the date of the expiration of the term of office of the judge then on the bench. The effect of such abolition of the superior court would be to revive and re- establish the police court with all the powers incident thereto. At the general election last November 3,930 persons voted in Council Bluffs, so that to make a petitién for the abolition of the superior court effective it would re quire to have the signatures of 1,310 voters. i It 1s belleved by those whio favor such a proposition that there would be no diffi- culty in securing this number of signers to the petition. It is also belleved that If the proposition was submitted at the cily election it would carry. In tho event of such a proposition being submitted at the city election in March the superier court would be abolished at the expiration of Judge Aylesworth's term, which would be April 8. Although George R. Scott was elected judge of the superior court at the general election last Novem- ber, he will not assume lhl ofllcn until | April 8. Those in favor of abolishing lle superior court claim that the work performed by it does not warrant the expense of main- taining it. Term after term of this court pa: s without a single case being heard, and term after term jurles are drawn and summoned and not a case brought for trial. The expense of maintaining the su- perior court is at least $4,000 a year. The question of abollshiug the superior court has been froely discussed since the itation looking for the creation of an tra district court judgeship was started at a recent meeting of the Pottawattamie County Bar association. Cedar Rapids, one of the three cities in ihe state having a superior court, is anxlous for its abolition and will probably abolish it at the next election. which has no superior court, is sald to be anxious to secure one. Besides Cedar Rapids and Council Bluffs, Keokuk is the only other city in the state with a superior court. Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son.

Advices from Des Moines are to the effect that State Senator Hazelton may meet with delay in the passage of his bill providing for the appolntment of a com- mission to confer with a like body from Nebraska to determine the western bound- ary of lowa. It has been discovered that the preamble of the Iowa constitution de- fines the western boundary of the state and the question has been raised whether any change can be made in the boundary 50 defined without amending the preamble or conmstitution. If it Is declded that a Conatitution Involved ‘constitutional amendment will be neces. sary, this will prevent the passage of Sen- ator Hazelton's bill at this session of the legislature at least. Senators Molsberry, Hubbard and Hall have been appointed a sub-committee of the judiclary committee to determine this question.

The Iowa supreme court, in a decision filed today, laid down rules in regard to the use of the secret ballots as provided in Towa. 1In a contest over the position of county clerk in Towa county the matter of chief concern was how to count ballots im- properly marked. The incumbent, McLen- non, had five majority on the face of the re- turns and decided by the lower court. The contestant, Spurrier, claimed election. It was rhown that in & number of cases voters had made a mark in the circle on the prohibitionis ticket and had then marked In the square opposite the name of McLennon. Inasmuch as ihere was no county ticket in the prohibitionist column the court holds this is all right, and that the vote in the circle carries with it a vote only for the names that are under it, and if there is no county ticket one may vote across the lines for other without invalidating the tickets. ‘There were aleo nineteen ballots where the voters marked the circle, also every square except for the Incumbent, and voted for the contestant. These were not counted. It the ballots had been properly marked as to indicate a scratched ballot the con- testaut would have been elected. In the case of the State against Hogan, from Winneshiek county, the judgment of the lower court is reversed on the ground that under the instructions the jury was not authorized to consider the evidence tending to show an alibl when deciding tn general on the/question of gullt.
