Both measures were passed to thelr second reading and then referred to the committee of the whole. The right-of-way ordinance grants the Mason City & Fort Dodge Rallroad com- pany, by which name the extension of the Great Western from Fort Dodge to this city is koown, permission . and authorlty to loeate its rallroad and to lay down, main- tain and operats two or more main tracks, turnouts, switches, etc., along. the route from Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street where connection i had with the Omaha Bridge and Terminal tracks to the city lmit The route as outlined in the ordinance is along Ninth avenue t6 Fourth street thence southeastorly — to Wabash yards thence across Tostevin street thence in a southeasterly direction parallel with So avenue and across Woodbury avenue and thence- in a northeasterly direction to the olty Ilmits. Location for Frel One section of the ordinance gives the raliroad permission to erect its freight depot on Ninth avenue between Sixth and Beventh streets and to project depot tem feet into the avenue. Also grants the rail. road permission to occupy all of Ninth avenue south of the south curb line from Sixth street to Eleventh street for an approach to any team tracks that the rail- road may maintain and operate. The vacation ordinance provides for the vacation of all those parts of Fifteenth avenue, Fourteenth avenue and the alleys in blocks twenty, seyenteen and sixteen in Willame' First addition to the city of Council Bluffs, lowa, from the west line of Third street to the east line of the right- of-way of the Wabash Rallroad company. All of those parts of Bighth, Ninth and Tenth streets lying between the south line of Ninth avenué and the north line of Tenth avenue, and the alleys In blocks five, thirty-two, thirty and six, and all of the alleys lying east of lot fourteen In block seven, Riddle’s subdivision. Proposed Ordinance Meets Opponition, Several of the aldermen in discussing this ordinance stated that an objectionable feat- ure of it was the proposed vacation of Bighth, Ninth and Tenth streets and this it is belleved will be strongly opposed. A protest signed by thirty-two merchants and business men on South Main street was South avenue and Third street on the filed objecting to the rallroad .b-mn-.' grounds that It would injure their trade 2500 | and drive farmers to seek another market for their products and to do their trading elsewhere. South aveniie, the protesters assert was the main highway to the city from the country southwest of the oiy. A protest was also flled by, residents in the nelghborhood of South avenue, An ordinance vacating the alley fn Coch- ran additlon through the property recently purchused by the school distriet for the Second avenue school way passed under a suspension of the rules. An ordinance granting the Groneweg & Schoentgen company permission to build an elevated plank sidewalk or platform along the eide of their proposed warehouse on Ninth street and Broadway was introduced and referred to the committee of the whole. Under the plan proposed this sidewalk would be three feel elght Inches above the present grade. The plan provides for steps at south and north llldl for use of pedes- trians. Board of H Smallpox. At the meetiug of the Board of Health last night Grenville Dodge urged the board to secure a suitable bullding where female smallpox patients could be isolated. He called attention to the case at the Revere house and urged that If she could not be removed to another bullding that she be isolated in a porti f the house, the r mainder of the premises properly disio- fected and the occupants released after sev- enteen days' quarantine. Some of the members complained that they had not been consulted at the time Motor- man Meaffrey was removed from the Re- vere house to the isolation hospital withcut the hotel being quarantined. It was decided to quarantine the entire Bouse 8t 117 West Plerce street, a portion of which is occupled by Rev. T. F. Birch, who is suffering from smallpox. Several bills for rent of premises occ pled by smallpox patients under quarantine were recommended for payment to the county, as was a bill of Green Bros. for $610 for grocert upplied quarantined fam- 1ljes. Green, Shields & BEverett offered to sell the board at a nomlual price one of the houses belng now removed off the Great Western right of way for an lsolation bos- pital for female smallpox patients, but the board declined to entertain the proposi- tion on the grounds that with the snow on the ground the bullding kuuld not be re- moved at this time.

Talbot, executor of the estate of Willlam Huber of Chambersburg, Pa.. to have the amount of the coiiaierai inheritance tax fixed raises two important questions. Huber dled possessed of an estate valued at 340,000, $15,000 of which Is represented by real estate in Pottawattamie, Cass and Marlon counties this state. All of his prop- erty goes to collateral heirs, Under the will the real estate is to be #old and turned into cash by the executor, The question ralsed by the executor 1s Wwhether the turping of the real estate into | ¢8sk does not place it out of the jurisdic- ton of the lowa collateral fnheritance tax {law and place it under the jurlsdiction of :M Pennsylvanis court in which the estate ] unnoulw-nn ,erty and theve! that duriog bis lfe time Huber soid cer- tain portions of his real estate holdings in this state under contract, but did not ex- ecute the deeds which have since his death been made by the executor. The executor claims that such sales took the property out of the provisions of the collateral in- heritance tax law of this state. These questions are raised here for the first time since the enactment of the col- lateral inheritance tax law and the final determination is belng watched with much interest by lawyers and others.

At the last term of court Balliet was placed on trial and the trial was about half over when one of the Jurors was killed by escaping gas in his room and the case had to be continued.

The Des Moines city councll this morn- ing passed a resolution ordering quaran- of all persons who have been exposed to smallpox unless they have been re- cently vaccipated. This was passed after the council had discussed the matter at length and bad received numerous reports to the condition of affairs in the eity. Reports e heard indicating that the smallpox is rapldly on the lncréase here and that practically nothipg is béing done to check it. Dr. Spaulding, of the Chicago health board, was roundly scored for what he sald and advised as to the smallpox situation here, but his recommendations are to be followed as rigidly as possible. Election in Fifty-First Regiment. An election has been called in the Fifty- first regiment, Iowa National Guard, for the office of llentenant-colonel and major, and already the warclouds are hanging over the twelve companies that constitute the regiment. The fact that for both positions the officers and the enlisted men of tlLa companies have held caucusses, with the result that two sets of candidates have been iudorsed adds to the Interest and uncer- tainty of the result. There is a serious question, however, If the caucus results will not be broken. There is an earnest effort on the part of all candidates to remain free from entangling alliances, but this is now considered to be nearly impossible. The positions to be filled are successions to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel J. W. Clark. formerly of Red Oak, but now of New York City, and Major W. B. Widner, formerly of Bedford, now of Chicago. Among the candidates for lioutenant-colonel are: W. C. Meritzer of Knoxville and E. R. Bennett of Des Moines, and for major, F. E. Weth- erell of Oskaloosa and M. A. Tinley of Councll Blufts. \ncreased its Shepard for TOPIKA, K nta Fe Coast L Feb. \nounce- ment comes from Chicago today that F. J.
