At ihe meeting of the trustees of the free public library yesterday afternoon the offer of Andrew Carnegie to donate 000 for a library bullding in Council Bluffs was ac- cepted and thanks ‘extended to Mr. Carnegie in the following resolutipn, a copy of which was forwarded to him: To Andrew Carnegle: The trustees of the free public library of the city of Council Bluffs, In., in behalf of the people of this community, beg leave to cxtend to you thelr and our most sincere thanks for your enerous offer to provide 350,000 to erect a reepublic library building for Council Bluffs. “We accept the proposal. ‘The nine- teenth century did not produce, and the twentleth century will not, a greater bene- factor. The ordinance binding the city to levy a | sufficient number of mills annually to raise not less than $5,000 for the maintenance of the library, in conformity with the re- quirement of Mr. Carnegle's offbr, was read and approved and a resolution ask- ing its passage by the eity council adopted. Some of the' trustees are in favor of ask- ing Mr. Carnegle {o increase his donation of $70,000 on condition that the city raise annually at least $7,000 for the mainten- ance of the library. President Rohrer laid the matter before General Dodge by tele- graph and the latter bas replied, ctating that he had written Mr. Carnegic asking him to increase his donation to $70,000, ex- | rallroad center and that 6,000 railroad em- | ployes made their homes in the city. Other members were inclined to the opinion that it was best to accept the generous offer | made by Mr. Carnegle without asking. for more. The submission of a list of books rec- ommended to be purchased by the commit- tee on books brought forth a vigorous pro- | test from Father Smyth against what he | termed the “unbusiness like” manner in| which books were ordered for the library. | This led to a lengthy discussion and the committee was finally requested to sug- gest at the mext meeting « plan for select- ing books to be purchased. The report of the librarian for December | gave these statistics: Number of visitors, | 5,205; on Sundays, 200; number of regis- | tered book takers, 3,254; number of books taken, 4,028, of which 2,803 were works of Betfon. The mmount pald out for “rented books to Jaduary 1 was $329.25, the recelipts ‘being $366.88, a balance of $27.63 on the credit side of ‘the ledger, The report of the finance committee Abowed a balance of $2,122.48 in the llbrary fund on January 1.

DES MOINES, la., Jan. 13.--(Special)— | The coal situation In Des Moines con- tinues as bad as ever and the distress is made acute by the extreme cold weather. The government thermometer marked 2.5 degrees below zero last uight and the cold continues. The coal dealers in Des Moines repogt themselves from two to three weeks behind in their orders. There are a dozen coal mines in or near Des Moines, but most of them have sold their output direct for the season and some of them have heavy railroad contracts. There is a-defi- clency in the number of miners, and men who have never before engaged in mining are being taken into some of the mines. The trouble seems to be that the mines cannot be operated to their tull capacity or there would be more coal ow hand. A number of the mines are being operated | day and night. The Oak Park mine, in, the morth part of the city, suffered a bursting boller yesterday, which will disable that company for several days and cut off a most of which was used for local consumption. The State Board of Railroad commissioners has been appealed to to order the more prompt ellvery of coal to dealers, but the board can do no more than send the complaints in to headquarters with a request that the companies stop ppropriating coal and for- ward the consignments to the dealers. Beyond this the commission cannot go, as it has been held in Towa that the railroad companies have a right to take any coal they may desire, The Soft Coal Operators' association of | the Des Moines district held a meeting this afternoon and refused to sell coal to | Des Moines retafl dealers and teamsters who have in the past or miy in the future sell coal to consumers for more than $3 a ton, the retail price fixed by the associa- | tion. Taking advantage of the pressing demand for coal, some of the retailers have advanced {he price of coal to as high as $450 a ton. Teamsters have,also bought coal at the mines in the outkirts of the city and old it at a high price, Richards Not Yet Arrested. The peace officers of Marlon county have | as yet failed to make the arrest of W. A. Richards, ex-deputy United States marshal, accused of having something to do with the robbery of Sullivan at Hamilton last week. They believe that Richards is somewhere in Nebraska, but say they have. not located him today. The friends of Richards are | indignant, and declare that it cannot be possible he has had any part in the rob- bery at Hamiltan, but the circumstantial evidence was 0 strong that the peace ofi- cers of Marlon county fe¢it compelled fo take action to'secure his attendance at court. Richards has been doing some de- tective work singe his retirement from his position and his friends say he was so en- ged in this cigé, Tt now transpires that Beird, who was the man shot by Sulllvan, and on whose Statement the warrant for Richards was {syued, has begn in the peni- tentiary several times and was taken there by Richards cach time.

The deceased was about 29 years 61d and of a very quiet disposition. He has been in the employ of Diedrich Sons, general merchandise, as deliveryman for the last five years and had completed his afternoon dellvery and drove to his home, his mother being at a nelghbor's for about twenty minutes. On her return she found her son lying in a great pool of blood with the razor at his feet.

The resolution to investigate the coal situation recites that a resolution has Loen introduced to extend the privilege of carry- ing coal to coastwise ports of foreign steamers for ninety days, “because the present scageity involves great suffering and distress,” and authorizes the committes to investigate “facts, charges and necessi- ties; to inquire Into’the elements and con- ditions involved in the coal trade, the cost of coal, the methods, facilities and cost of transportation and distribution and the rea- sons or causes of such scarcity and dis- tress."” The committee is directed to report as soon as possible. The desk of the late Representative Tongue (Ore.) was heavily draped with black and covered with flowers. The chaplain, in his invocation, referred feelingly to the loss the house had sus- taived and Prayed for the bereaved widow and children. After the reading of the journal a reso- lution wes read providing for a session on Sunday, February 8, to pay tribute to the memory of the late Represontative Salmon of the Fourth New Jersey district.

The answer sets forth the facts regarding the former suit brought by the defendant for divorce, which was settled out of court after he had deeded his wife a half interest in the farm valued at $5,000. In his cross petition Kirby charges his wite with misconduct, and owing to the abseuce from the state of one of his principal wit- nesses asks for a continuence until mext term. Gretchen Cochran, against whom her hus- band, William T. Cochran, brought suit for divorce, filed her answer, denylng her hus- band’s allegations and asks that she bg granted the divorce on grounds of cruel and inbuman treatment. She also asks for the, custody of their minor children and $15 a month permanent alimony.' Mrs. Cochran further asks the court that her husband be restrained from interfering with her in any mabner.

RELIEVES Rock I The coal situation in Council Bluffs s still serious, although temporarily relleved by the arrival of several trainloads over the Rock. Island Sunday night. This ship- ment placed the waterworks and motor companies and other large consumers of steam coal on easy street for a few da: but unless further ‘supplies are shortly torthcoming the situation will be as acute as ever. The motor company has in the last few days also received other shipments and Superintendant Tarkington stated yester- day that he dnticipated no immediate dan- ger, he had orders placed with mines in Tows, Kansas and Missourl. Manager Hart of the waterworks company said he had sufficient coal to keep the pumps go- ing for at least three days. J. F. Wilcox, the florist, is one of the largest consumers of cosl in the city and he has been on the anxious seat for days. In the event of his being compelled to shut down his bollers for lack of fuel the dam- age to his business would be immense and would take years to remedy. The public school bulldings are running short of coal, although Contractor Wright of the Carbon Coal, company is making every eéffort to.keep them supplied. No bullding has more coal than sufficient for two or three days at the most and if the situation ‘gets amy worse several of the schools will have to be closed. Every ef- tort, however, will be made to keep the High school running and preferemce will be given it in the matter of coal. 3 New Furnace Heats Up. The residence of Karl W. Mayne at 227 Bluft street was badly damaged by fire at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The blaze started in the basement, where a new fur- pace had been installed Saturday, and made its way along the air shafts to the | second floor and from' there to the attic.
