MERCHANTS' AND MANUFACTURERS' QUITS Itself & Val sition—Commerel tee Alwo Lifele The Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ as- sociation, which was organized several ye ago to advance the interests of the city, was disbanded at a meeting of the executive committee yesterday morning For a year or more the assoelation has ex- isted in name only. The members lost all Interest in the assoclation and attempts to hold meetings invariably falled for want of a quorum. A number of small outstanding bills made it necessary for the executive board to get together yestorday morning to crder thelr payment, there being suficlent funds in the treasdTy to meet the indebtedness. This being accomplished, the executive commit- tee by nimous vote decided to disband the organization. Some of the members are in favor of re- new name, as they real- ize that the business interests of the city demand an organization of such a character. A propositién which met with favor was the organization of a Commercial club on a basis similar to that in Omaha. The commercial committee appointed some three years ago by the city council has s0 ceased to exist except in name, and is now practically but a one-man affair, the chairman, E. F. Test, alone taking any Interest in it. SMALLPOX PATIENTS SOCIABLE Children Go to School and Father Serves Drinks to the Publte. Beveral members of the family of John B.

Jobn Schroeder is a bartender employed in Peter Heim's saloon on Broadway and bhe has continued at his work during the {liness of his family. No physiclan was called and both Schroeder and his wife stated to the cify physiclan that they were unaware that the disease was smallpox. The hou was 4t e placed under quarantine and Schroeder was it home from his place of business with {nstruc~ tions from the officers to remain there un- til the quarantine was raised. Mrs. Mels- ner, nurse, living across the street from the Schroeders, who had attended Mrs. Schroeder., was also quarantined. City Physician Jennings characterized the as the most flagrant disregard of | health regulations that had come under his notice. He expressed the opinion that Schroeder should be prosecdted. Smallpox Conferemce F The conference between the committees from the cify Board of Health and the county Board of Supervisors, over the g tion of providing additional isolation hos. pital facilities, more especially for female imallpox patients, held yesterday afternoon, falled to accomplish anything. The situation was thoroughly dlscussed, but the committee from the county board falled to see how it could assist the city health autborities, in view of the fact that County Attorney Killpack gave it as his opinion that the statutes did not previde for the appropriation of money by the county for such purposes. Supervisor Baker expressed the hope that the legislature at its p ssion might amend the existing laws so as to provide a way whereby funds could be appropriated and at his sug- adjourned until ° ayor Jennings and Aldermen Hammer and Lougee of the city committee were pres- ent at the conference, while the full com mittee of the county board, comprising Su- pervisors Brandes, Baker and Kerney, was in attendance.

DES MOINES, Feb. 25.—(Special.)—The Towa ators today went on record as sustaining the law which requires the teaching of music in gl the schoolg of the state and requires that teachers shall pass examinations in musle. When the bill wi put through the legislature two years ago many of the members regarded it as a joke and were surprised that it should be seri- ously considered. But the law has been found to work well and to the great e couragement of music teaching in all the schools of the state. Some opposition arose, however, from the rural districts, ere it s found difficult to secure per- sons competent to teach music. The bill to repeal the law aroused much interest in the house this morning and was debated with much .warmth, but it wa ally in- definitely postponed by & vote of 53 to 38. ‘The Jenks bill to give the deaf school at Council Bluffs a per capita allowance of $22 a month for support wa . ers on collateral inheriance tax passed.

A resolution was introduced in the hou: McClurkia memorializing congres against the proposed conmtract system for rural mail carrie Hearing on Assessm t B The sepate ways and means committee this afternoon gave audience to the repre- sentatives of the rallroad Interests on the subcommittee bill to change the method of assessing rallroad property so as to find the value through ascertaining the market value of stocks and bonds of railroad com- panles. There was much interest in the hearing. W. W. Baldwin of Burlington spoke in regard. to taxation and ments in general. He said the railroad companies probably pay one-twelfth of the taxes pald in the state of Towa; if they do not own at least one-twelfth of the property of the tate they are paying more than their share of the taxes. The Iowa state auditor in his last report showed that the actual assess- ment on lands in Jowa is 20 per cent of the aelling value, and we know this is higher proportionately on real estate than on other property. The assessment on land has not followed up the great advance in values of lands, The assessment on the real estate s reported at $405,000,000 and the actusl value {s about five times this amount, In regard to personal property, he estimated it & worth at least $1,500,000,000. The ex- ecutive councll bas returned the value of rallroad property at $285,000,000. From these figures he deduced that the railroads are taxed too high already. They eally worth $300,000,000 on any estimate or basis which can be made, but unless they are worth that much no increase in assessment should be made. There is a fundamental principle laid down In the constitution, that corporation property must be assessed the same as other proverty. To adopt some different rule, as for Instance the rule pro- osed In this bill, to assess railroad prop- erty at its full cash value, would be to violate the constitution. There are about 1,600 miles of main lines in lowa and 7,800 miles of branches, and If you should esti- mate the main lines at $50,000 a mile and the branches at $16,000 a mile you would Bot have §200,000,000. If you arrive at it in another way you reach the same conclu- slop. He clted recent purchases of rall- roads by the Burlington at prices showing that these lines are now over valued for taxation purposes. He argued strongly against the idea that the proper way to 4ssess rallroads is by and through the mar- ket value of stocks and bonds. He was tollowed by Mr. Dudley, tax commissiones of the Ml kee rallroad, and by et The entire afternoon was consumed in the hearing.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—The mysterious wo- men lnmate of the Kankakee insane asylum who gave her name as Francis Agnes Ross in Chicago when she arrived from Port land, Ore., and was adjudged insane last Christmas, has been identified as Miss Rosa McDonald, a member of a prominant Bos- ton family. A letter written by her to a sister in Boston was opened before it was mailed and resulted in the discovery of her identity. Willlam A. Morse, a Boston lawyer, ap- peared In court today when the wo was taken before Judge Carter to arrange tor her removal to Boston. Judge Carter ordered the transter and placed her in the care of Mrs. Minnle J. Andrews, who will act as companion. The lawyer, Mrs. An- drews and her charge left for Boston to- day, Attorney Morse told Judge Carter that Miss McDonald seven years ago met and lovea & millionaire and retired merchant of Boston. He made over $45,000 worth of real estate to her, and gave her many jewels, The man’s relatives, the lawyer said, finally brought suit to recover the property. Two years ago she disappeared. Six months later he married Early in December she came to Chicago and went jnsane at the Convent of Poor Clares, it is thought from the severe strain. When Miss McDonald arrived here she had a great deal of money and valuable jewelry with her. BOSTON, Feb, 25.—The case of Miss Me- Donald, who is being brought here from Chicago, recalls a peculiar incident of seven years ago. She met James W. Gilman, who had settled in Melrose Highlands, af.er hav- ing made a fortune in Montana in sheep ranching. He ‘ell in love with Miss Me- Donald and it was eald she returned his affection, despite the dlsparity in their ages, he being 60 and she 26. It was sald that Gilman made over property worth $50,000 to her, chiefly in westerr. real estate. Mr. Gliman's family interfered and & mar- ried daughter applied to the court for a conservator of her father's estate. Mr. Gliman’s son-in-law being appointed. The result was that the engagement was brokes oft. A Boston lawyer who is associated with Mr. Morse sald tonight: Miss McDonald was of a very religlous turn of mind much affected b this breaking off of the engagement wit Mr. Gllman. After the breach came she yoluntarily “deeded back the property to r, Gllman. Mr. Gllman's daughter also Drought suli for the return of the money given to Miss McDonald. 1 think the amount sued for was about $3,000 or #4000 This sult we defended for Miss McDonald and she won it. After that Miss McDonaid 8id not seem to be the same person. Her religlous disposition manifested itself more than ever and she retired for a time to a convent. About two years ago all trace of her seemed to be lost and the last heard of her was in the west.

CLINTON, Ia, Feb. 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—James Farrell and sister Gertrude, who reside on a farm near Dewitt, this county, were found by nelghbors gagged, bound and beaten into Insensibllity by rob- bers some time Monday night. The dis- covery was made at noon today, an empty chloroform bottle "and a handkerchief t- urated with chloroform indicates Farrell and his sister were first placed under the influence of the drug, but recovered before the robbers had completed their work. Re- sistance being offered the victims were brutally assaulted and overturned furni- ture showed there must have been a terrible fight. One of Farrell's arms was broken in two places and there were numerous cuts and bruises on his body. His sister was also badly lacerated and bruised. At a late hour this evening neither had re- gained consciousness and It is expected both will die. In this event no description of the robbers will be secured and their escape will be certain, as there is no clue to their identity. The Farrells are well-to-do and live in a lonely section of the country. The mother was away on & visit, leaving her son, agea 30, and daughter, 32, alone. A brother, uperintendent of schools resides here. The fam. ily is well known in this =ection, and until the return of Mrs. Farrell it will not be known how much booty the robbers secured. The sheriff has gone to the scene of the tragedy and will look the ground over for & clue, and in case either of the victims regain consclousness some light may be throwb on the mystery.
