ENFORCING THE MULCT LAW Oounty Atterney Killpack Serves Notioe on Qity Offiials MUST COMPLY WITH ALL OF ITS TERMS Notice Worries City Oficials, Who Are Fearfal t Wil Mean Great Lows of Revenue to the City. County Attorney Killpack has served of- ficlal notice on Mayor Morgan that the oons of the city must be rum in con- formity with the provisions of the mulct law and that the change In existing con- ditions must be made not later than the twentleth of this month. While so far Mayor Morgan and other members of the elty administration have declined to dis- cuss the matter, they made no secret of the fact that the county attorney's motice comes as u veritable thunderbolt at this particular time, whem the city is about to figure on ite revenie for the ensuing year. | In the evant of the county attorney in- sisting on the saloons running according to the miulct law, it means that the city will in all probability lose half of the jn- come derlved at present from this source. There are about forty saloons in the city paying annual license each of $1,000, which goes into the police fund and con- stitutes one of the main Sources for the general fund, as when the latter fund runs short thé ‘surplus in the police fund is transferred to it. It has always been con- tended that many of the saloons could not keap open and make expenses if compelled to ablde strictly by the requirements of the mulct law and that the greater fum- ber of them would be forced to close their doors and go out of business. Under the mulet law_thg saloons cannot open before 6 a, m. and fqust close at-10 p. m. They cannot.open on Sundays or holfdays and cdn 'have' no side or buck doors. Further they cannot malntain screens of any obstructions in the win- dows so’that patrons of the bar may be visible to any passerby on the street out- side. ¢ ¢ § ‘ Warns, City Officials, What mbtive County ‘Attorney Killpack | bas in making this sudden move the city | offictals are at a Joss to understand, al- though it; {s conceded that it is in bis prov- ince to enforce the mulct law it he feels 50 disposéd. The county attorney’s sud- den activity in this diréction, howevor, came as a great and equally disagrecable surprise, to the mayor and other oity of- ficlals, Who regard it as a hard blow to the city; especially when the munisioal- ity's_finapoes are at such a low ebb as at present and will be during the ensving fiscal year. Without the usual. rovenue erived from the saloon liceases, zhe city officlals are at a 1088 tp see' where' suf- ficlent revenue can’ be derlved to majntain the fire and police ‘departments conslgtent with the needs of the city.

Oity officlals when appried of the county attorney's moye were inclined to tne vpin- fon, although they admitted they had no evidence to justify it, that thé motor com- pany was back of it. They eay ‘thit to enforce the mulet law in the city wonld result fn driving all the trade of. the sa- loons to Lake Manawa on Sundays rrd week nights.

SCHOOL ELBC_TI__ON ON TODAY ‘While ‘a ‘great many people are of, the inion that politi :: possiblo m a sohool election, it fis generally conceded tnat there is no plausi- ble reason why the two republican now- Inees for members of the Board of Edu- cation, Colonel ‘W. J. Davenport and Gran- ville P. Kemp, abould not recelve hand- some majorities at the hands of the electors in today’s school election. Both are more than usually well qualified for the position and It elected will deyote their time and ability to furthering the interests of the schools of the city. The democrats are making their cam- paign on the alleged increase in the ex- pensés in maintaining the schools, but they refrain from making gny reference to the increase in the Aumber of ¢hildren now at- tending, the schools requiring additional toachers and Other factlities. They make no mention of the mew high school bufld- ing with its increased enrolimeni, and con- sequently Increased faculty. As the eity grows, so naturally must the cost of main- taining the public schools increase, but this the democrats, in urging the placing of the Board of Education in control of their #urty, do not mention. That the schools of Council Bluffs were never in & better and more prosperous condition is gener- ally conceded by those who give the matter thelr carnest attention, and during the last few years, while the board has been re- publican b complexion, the uho;ll have ned ion_throughout the sf S .

DEVELOPS INTEREST IN CREAMERIES Digamist Curtis Has Played s Bril- liant Engagement in 1l (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 8.—(Special.)—The board of trustees of the Towa State college have been called to meet at Ames, March 26 next, for the purpose of opening bids for the construction of the new buildings for the college provided for by mcts of the leg- islature and under the special tax levy which makes possible the beginning of construction work on a systematic scale. The bulldings for which plans have been prepared are a four-story stone central college buflding, a stock judging pavilion, two greenhouses and an addition to the ag- lcultural hall. The stone central buflding will cost upwards of $250,000 when com- pleted and work will be commenced upon it at once, though it is not expected it will be finished as soon ms some of the other work for which provision has been made. The stock judging pavilion is some- thing which has long been needed for the agricultural department. The plans for all this work have been approved by the build- ing committee of the trusteesand contrac- tore are now figuring on the work. It is regarded as highly improbable that the matter of the presidency of the college will be settled at this meeting, though it will come up In mome form and the com- mittee in charge will be asked to make a report of some kind. Governor Cummins, who has been in the east and south and who is head of the committee on presi- dency, may be able to give some informa- tion at that time. The action of the State Agricultural board, the State Corn Growers’ assoclation and other bodles in utging the selection of Prof. Curtiss is regarded as highly favorable to him, and the members of the faculty, it is understood, would be pleased with his selection, Campaign for Creameries. _Btate Dairy Commissioner Wright is sending out to creamery men a call for the annual reports from creameries and noting some changes in the law made last winter. He is at the tame time announcing that the dairy department is ready at all times to furnish speakers for meetings where. it la desired they shall be held, anfl that either the commissioner or someone in his office is ready at all times to ap- pear before meetings or to instruct cream- ery men. This fs the first time that the dairy department has undertaken this sort of campalgn in the interest of the butter business of the state.- Commissioner Wright has delivered addresses to a large number of farmers' meetings dnring the winter and an increase in interest in the creamery busineas fs noted as a result.

At the same time there is some opposition devel- opitig and it s learned that the labor in- terests will protest against the selection of McPherson for the place. Bigamist Curils Active Again. Some yesrs ago a sensation was created by the discovery that one Curtis, or Thomes or Scott, who was eogaged in running-a daily -paper at Anamosa, was a bigamist and had several wives, from none of whom had he been divorced. It was found also that hie pretensions to financial backing were all a sham. He was active fn re- ligious work and made many professions of plety, and he was found to be great on getting into the good graces of the women. Curtls was sent ta the penitentiary for his fallure to patronize the divorce courts, and served a short term in the Anamosa prison. He got out some time ago and went to Tljnofs, Now Information has been re- celved -that he has turned up in & small town in Ilinols, where he started a weekly paper with nothing but assurance and soon thereafter departed, taking with him much money that he obtained by questionable means. Dedication of a Fine Chureh. Bishop Hamilton of San Francisco pre- sided today at the dedication of a }ertho- dist church in Ankeny, a small town in this county. The church is & very fne one for such a small town and ‘'when com- pleted will have cost about $11,000. A number of members of the church trom this eity went out to assist in the dedi- catlon. Slow with a Decision, Nearly a year ago a test sult was brought to determine whether or not the new law of Iowa relative to concerns engaged n what is called & “home co-operative” busi- ness could continue .in business without complying with the building and loan law, which would subject them to some state su- pervision. This was submitted to a judge of the district court here and he retained it all summer and fall, finally declaring the entire law to be unconstitutional. He promised that he would render m written decision, giving the reasons for his deter- mination, but this bas not been done, and the slowness of the court is causing con- siderable comment, as & number of the companies are continuing in business and there is no chance to get the matrer finally settled through a decision of the supreme court. Fire in Woolen Mill, At an early hour this morning fire did damage to the amount of about $60,000 in the Capital Clty Woolen mill in this eity. The mill is located not far from the Rock Island freight house and the fire was first seen by railroad It had apparently started in the office and soon communicated to the large wacehouse. This was filled with fine woolen goods ready for the spring trade and all of the goods bad been sold for early delivery. The fire confined largely to the office, but the goods were ruined with water and smoke and it is es- timated that there will be very little sal- vage. The mill is owned by Sheuerman Bros., and has been in operation many years. They had lnsursnce to cover the en- tire loss. ssful Co-operat The fourteenth annual meeting of the Farmers' Co-operative soclety of Rockwell was held yesterday. It is the largest co- operative concern. in the United States and bas organizations formed aftér it in many localities in the country and oue In New Zealand. This year Agent Frank Campbell reports a business of $601,038, & “auq; of about §150,000 over lest year, which is accountsd for by the poor crops in that loeality. Had the erops been equal to other years they woull have gone over the $700,000 mark. - This emormous busi- ness was done at the small cost of $4,297, leas than three-fourths of 1 per cent.

NEITHER IMMORAL NOR CRUEL BY NATURE Lectures for the Children and Makes & Hit in the Rendition of the Ghost Dance of the Stoux. CHICAGO, March 8.—Ernest Thompson Seton was seen In a new role at Music hall yesterdsy morning. He impersonated the Indian in his weird ghost dance, ac- companied by its forbldding song; he mim- icked the wolf's blood-chilling cry and he bullt a fire on th e in traditlonal savage fashion by rubbing two sticks of wood together. “The Indians as T Know Them” was the title of his lecture, and if not as-fertile a subj s “Wild Aniamls I Have Known,” it showed Mr. Thompson Seton at his best. The only notice the.lecturer took of the time-worn descriptions of the Indlan was when he decried them. The speaker painted the Indi mew hue, vested him with a new chatacter, of which s high sense of morality was the keynote and savagry only an atom of its composition. The lecture was Intended primarily for the entertanment of chil- dren, and it is doubtful if any of his youthful hearers will ever agein dread meeting with & red man. The cigar signs will no longer catry terror to the youthtul minds that soaked up - everything Mr. Thompson Seton sald. The lecturer pictured the Indlan as a man to whom stealing and thievery is an unknown trick, 8 man who is ‘only to be teared when he is on the warpath, devoted to his children and his squaw, domestic in his tastes, thoroughly appreciative of the gifts of nature, humane 1n his ins*incts, and if not a Christian a careful observer of the ten commandments. Mr. Thompson Seton mingled with his description of Indian character and cus- toms storles that imparted pictures of In- dian 1ife to his child hearers, with a vivid- ness that thrilled and made them hold their breath with interest and awe. Every story had a moral woven into it that made the parents glad they had brought their children, He told the little people that Indians wouldn't kill even & mouse or any animal which they could not eat. He told the story of an adventure in Ottawa during | which he and his party got lost in the | woods, and being obliged to spend the night away from thelr tents and thelr wagons returned in the mlorning to find that a band of Indians had passed the caravan during the night, but rather than steal some molasses which they wanted had camped nearby to swait the return of the Americans in the morning to effect trade tor the syrup. Who the Real Indian Is. Mr. Thompson Seton introduced his sub- ject by declaring that, as all bo: bound to play Indian, they might as well play the game right. “There are two current ideas of the In- dlan,” he sald. “The onme is the Fenimore Cooper idesl and the other the filthy brute of yellow western journals. Both ideas are wrong. The truth is midway between, but & little nearer to the Cooper ideal than the yellow journal plcture.” Mr. Thompson Seton declared that the In- Qian first learned the white man's vices and afterward the white man's virtues. The reservation Indian, he sald, is not the true Indlan. Whisky has tc a great extent changed his nature, The lecturer drew an- other striking pfrallel between the Indian and the white man when he told the answer When I was inthe big city I saw a man who had many more dollars than he needed, while a thousand of his poarer brothers were almost, without. pennlea,’ .

Seton crouched to the position taken by the Ipdian- and as stealthily as any brave ever circled around the ‘dance arena the lecturer . gradually worked into the intricacies of the great ghost dance, singing,all the while in the native tongue a song that grew louder and more-ominous with every verse, When he had finished the children shouted with de- light. They stamped their feet and clapped their hands.and would ‘not -be still until Mr. Thompson told them how to play In- dian in the woods themselves.
