'REGULAR FUNDS HARDLY SUFFICIENT 1s visit- | ation Being to Who Wil Be Candidates Conslderable Spe dolged in s the Republican for Board Members. It the Board of Education decides to bulld an addition to one of the two schools !in the Sixth ward to meet the constantly | increasing demands of that portion of the | eity, or to complete tho addition recently erected to the Plerce street building, it will be compelled to defray the expense out of the school house fund. The board had contemplated asking the people to | vote on propositions for special levies for | these buildings, and it was understood at the last meeting of the school directors that as soon as the finance committee had | raade its report the matter would be con- sidered. The board, however, has failed to take any action and the election notice has been published without any mention of these propositions, consequently they cannot be brought before the voters at the election next month. Whether the school heuse fund will be | sufficient to enable the board to meet the demand for additional facilities in the Sixth ward and complete the addition re | cently constructed at the Plerce street | school, is said to be very doubtful. The board, it is said, would have taken the necessary steps at its last meeting to bring these propositions before the voters at the coming election but for tue objec- tions of Director Gorman, who insisted | that no action be taken until the firance committee had made its report. The school election will be held Monday, March 9, and the voters of the Independent | School district of Council Bluffs will be | called upon to elect two members of the | Board of Education, who shall serve for | three years. Polling Places Named. i For the purpose of this election the dis- trict has been divided into six district: the extent and polling places being as fol- lows: | The First precinct consfsts of the First ward of the city of Council Blufts, Ia., and all territory of the school district’ contigu- | ous to sald ward and lylng without the limits of said city. The polling place will | be at_the Wheeler & Hereld bullding, 124 East Broadway. The Second precinct consists of the Sec- ond ward of said city, and the polling place will be at 536 West Broadway. The Third precinct consists of the Third ward of sald city and all territory of the tchool district contiguous to said ward and | iying without the limits of said city, and :(he polling place will be on South Main street, The Fourth precinct consists of the Fourth ward of said city, and the polling place will be at 502 South Main street. The Fifth precinct consists of the Fifth ward of sald city, and the polling place will be at the county voting houss, corner of Fifth avenue ond Twelfth street. The Sixth preciuct consists of the Sixth ward of sald city. and the polling place will be at the voting house on the corner of Avenue B and Twenty-fourth street. The yolls will be open at 9 a. m. and close at 7 p. m. The republican school convention to rominate two candidates for the Board of Education will be held Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the county court house. As the time draws closer interest in the pos- sible action of the convention Increases. While it is generally believed that Colonel Davenport will be accorded one of the nom- inations, friends of B. M. Sargent, president of the board, whose term of three years expires this spring, insist that he is en- titled to a renomination without having to make a fight for it. Mr. Sargent, while he has male no effort to secure a renomina- tion, is understood to be willing to accept it. He has told his friends that if his { record on the board for the last three years | did not entitle him to a renominativn with- | out having to seek it, he was willing to withdraw. Mr. Sargent is one of the busi- ness men of this city who belleve that the school board should be removed as far as possible from politics, and being of this belief, he has steadfastly refused to make a campalgn for renomination. If the people desire that he should serve another term on the board he says he is willing, but he will not seek the office. Without any special levies the ensulng | year the finances of the school district will have to be moet economically administered.

HEARST State Hoard of Co anging Route of Through Glenwood tute Grounds. trol Objects to Ratlrond Tustie (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Ia, Feb. 23.—(Speciar)— A presidential boom for Willlam R. Hearst, of New York City, millionaire newspaper owner, fieshly ‘ntroduced to politics in the cast, is to be launched before the public on the occasion of the Jofferson day banquet of the frec silver democracy of Towa in Des Molnes on the ovening of April 2. Preceding the banquet, where 300 sclect democrats are to be seated at $1.50 | per plate, there is to be a conference in which will be outlined the campaign pro- gram for the democratic party of lowa this year, and preparations made for such or ganization as will assure to the “Kansas City platform democrats’” as they choose to call themselves, the undisputed control of thy party In this state this year and next. i It was not originally planned by those | who arranged for this banquet that it | should go any further than to give direction te state politics, but events are shaping themselves so that something more is re- garded as inevitable. The banquet was planned to get the free silver men to- gether and to get them to acting in con- cert and for some definite thing. A few weeks ago a banquet was given at Waterloo | Where ex-Governor Boles was the central attractlon, and Judge A. Van Wagenen of Sloux City delivered himself of a ca“e- fully prepared address advocatiag govern- ment ownership of rallroads and taking radical ground on many subjects. He avolded reference to the coinage question. His address was taken to be a preparatiou | for \his candidacy for governor this year, and as an indication that he would be put forward by the ‘“‘recrganizers” of the dem- ocratic party. A majority of those “vho were at the Waterloo Jackson day banquet have acted with the party right along, but are known to favor the dropping of Bryan and free silver. And so the Jefferson day banquet was arranged especiully to offset this movement and to get the free silver- ites together for a fight to control the next state convention for platform and ticket and party organization, To make the Jefferson day banquet a suc- cess W. J. Bryan was invited to be chief speaker without restriction as to the time he will be allowed to take. 'Chis was suf- | | | fictent to Indicate the purposes of the con- ference and banquet; but there was added the fact that next to Bryan the chiet speaker was to be General James B. Wea- ver. At once it was regarded as certain that the meeting was to crystallize eenti- ment for Weaver for governor, that around him the free silver forces might rally to the defeat of the reorganizer This pro- gram fs unchanged so far as the promoters of the banquet are concerned. Weaver Upsets Plans. But General, Weaver, who is in the south IOWA TRAINS IN COLLISION Fire Fly Crashes Into Freight and Many Coaches are Dam- aged.

Repp, professor of pathology at Towa State college, veterinarian of the Towa experiment station and state veterinarian, It 1s announced tonight, has recelved an offcr of a position as vet- erinarian to the Superior Board of Health of Cuba, with headquarters at Havana. The salary offered is $200 per month, with the privilegs of outside consultation and practice. He is to be given the use of the state bacteriological and pathological laboratories and work with Dr. John Gui- taras, professor of pathology and tropical medicine, University of Havana, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania: also with Dr. C.

The fact that the state's case is not the case made when tried in Warren county seems to have renewed hope within her breast and she sits greatly encouraged even while the state’s counsel is dwelling at length upon the horrors of the awful tragedy. ek Case. Dedication of Onawa Library. | ONAWA, TIa, Feb. 23.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Onawa's new public library, | donated by Judge Addison Oliver, | will be formally opened to the public tomorrow evening. The exercises boring for ofk has disarranged aftairs by writing back his disapproval with Judge Van Wagenen ‘for candidate for governor on a platform virtually ignoring free silver. He deeires that the banquet be broadened and that the reorganizers be invited to join with them at the feast. It therefore be- comes plain that the more conservative of the reorganizers.and the free silverites are working in harmony and that the State campaign will be a compromise with a con- servative man for candidate. As a part of this program there appeared on the scene last week Mr. Charles E. Rus- | sell, publisher of Hearst's Chicago paper, a former Iowan and well known among the older democrats of the state. He spent & week in the state making careful in- quiry as to the situation and when he went away announced He would return and at- tend the Jefferson day banquet. It became known that his real mission here was to induce all factions of the democratic party to get .together for a state campaign this year and make the fight on issues related to the tariff, trist foreign policy and op- position to Roosevelt; and incidentally to bring to the attention of the democrats the candidacy of William R. Hearst for president next year. If the feeling is right somé action will be taken looking to hav- ing Jowa democracy enlisted for Hearst. The action will be taken with the full knowledge and consent of the free silver men, They will make it plain that while they are not ready to turn against Bryan or to turn down the platform he prepared, they recognize his unavailability for fur- ther leadership, and the absolute neces- sity for turning to new fssues.
