"Phone 91, AGREEMENT ONTHE TAX LEVY Finanoe Committes of Ceuncil Recommends the Bame Total as Last Year, SOME FUNDS CUT AND SOME INCREASED &£ This § Basis of Rejection of Request of Library rd for Levy to Acqulre a Site f Library Buildi Only four aldermen putting in an a pearance caused the meeting of the city council slated for last night to fall for want of the mecessary quorum. Mayor Morgan announced a meeting for Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which time the council will be called upon to make the tax levy for 1002. It had been intended to do this last night, as the law requires that the levy must be certified to tho- county auditor on or before the first Mon- day in September. Exclusive of the park tax the levy for 1901 for city purposes was 37% mills. This included a 1-mill levy for library pur- po! The finance committee has pre- pared a report recommending the levy for the eeveral funds, which will leave the aggregate the same as last year unless the council accedes to the request of the library that 3 mills be levied for the pur- pose of acquiring & site and building a permanent home for the library. Beveral of the aldermen, however, are known to be opposed to this levy and the propo- sition may again be defeated. Last year 2 mills wae levied for the improvement fund, but this year the com- mittee has recommended a cut of half a mill, leaving the levy 1% mills. The same cut j also recommended in the bond loan fund levy, which was 3 mills last year, thus making it 2% mills for 1902. Offset against these reductions the committee recommends an increase of half a mill for the bridge levy, making it 1% mills, as against 1 mill in 1901. This {ncrease is said to be necessary om account of the depletion of the fund by the building of the bridge at the intersection of Mynster and Maln streets and practically bullding a new bridge on North Tenth street. Then the library trustees this year ask for a levy of 1% mills for library purposes, as against 1 mill last year. The increase In these two levies will offset the decrease in the levies for the improvement and bond loan fund: Under the new law the park board makes its own levy and certifies same to the county auditor, and the city council has no jurisdiction over it like it has in the case of the library fund levy. The levy as recommended by the finance committee for 1902 for city purposes is as follows: General ¥ llaond Joan..... deruad e bord ntersection paving and grading bon: Funded dcbtp. = covered that he is wapted In St. Louls and that there is a reward of $25 for his ar- rest.

DES MOINES, Aug. 25.—(Special.)—What would otberwise have been a great day for an opening of the ‘state fair was com- pletely gpolled by rain today. The rain commenced falling at daylight and con- tinued with more or less steadiness during the day. A great many visitors came to the city and there were many at the fair grounds, but it was impossible to have the races or ths firgworks or any of the fea- tures which had been prepared for the day. There was to have been a program for the dedication of the live stock pa- vilion on the grounds. It was postponed until 3 o'clock and then at that hour given up enlirely. The presentation of the “Last Days of Pompell”. was abandoned at the last moment. The ground is too wet for races and it Is uncertain what will happen tomorrow. There was disappointment at the news received that Governor Savage of Nebraska was not to come to attend the fair and speak in the new pavilion. He had written a letter of acceptance of the invitation and was placed on the pro- gram. After it was too late to secure any- one else his private secretary wrote saying that previous engagements would keep the governor from attending. The pavilion will be dedicated at 1 o'clock on Monday. Tomorrow the judging in all departments begins.

McMlllan's story reads like a romance. When 10 years old he became enamored of the life of a New York “newsy,” and ran away from home, lived the life of a wharf rat for a month. At the end of that time he was taken up by the police and sent to the Children’s home at Ithaca, still obstinately refusing to give the name of his parents. Some time afterward he was sent to Coun- cil Bluffs with a lot of children who were sent there for distribution. He was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Dunn of that city, with whom he lived until 21 years old. Mr. i and Mrs. Dunn never knew that hls parents , were living. In fact, McMillan had almost forgotten it himself. He was marrfed at Council Bluffs and worked for a time for Swift & Co., befors coming to Sfoux City. By this time he had lost track of his par- ents. One day while looking over a New York directory, he discovered the name of his uncle. He wrote and learned that his father was dead and that his mother was still grieving over the small boy who had 80 mysteriously disappeared. Mr. McMillan Is making preparations to go to New York to rejoin his-mother, from whom he has been separated so long.
