A, PLANNING FOR GOOD ROADS Oounty Oonvestion Draws a Large and Entbusiastio Gathering. MUCH. OPPOSITION TO PRESENT SYSTEM Nothing bat Temporary Work from Year to Year is Possible Un: It = Congressman Smith Makes Address. The Interest which the good roads move- ment has attracted In Pottawattamie county was evidenced by the large and representative attendance at the conven- tion held in this city yesterday afternoon. D. B. Lyons of Des Moines, secretary of the executive committee of the Iowa Good Roads association, who was present and made a stirring address, stated to the con- vention that he had attended a large num- ber of such meetingsd throughout the state but at no county good roads convention had he witnessed such a large and repre- sentative gathering. Such an attendance, he sald, augured well for the success of the movement In Pottawattamie county. The meeting resulted In the formation of & permanent organization to be known as the Pottawattamie County Good Roads as- sociation with the following officers: Pres- fdent, Colonel W. F. Baker, member of the board of county supervisors; secretary, David E. Stuart; tfeasurer, August Bere- sholm. These were named vice presi- denta from their respective townships: Perry Kerney, Bllver Creek; D. F. Dryden, Hardin; Fred Klopping, Hasel Dell; J. T. Jones, Washington; Fred Holst, Keg Creek; John Currie, * Norwalk; Willlam Casson, York; J. B. Matlock, Crescent; George Darrington, Boomer, The president, sec- retary and treasurer were empowered to complete the list of vice presidents. The couvention was held in the south room of the county court house and when President Ernest E. Hart of the First Na- tional bank and member of the executive committee of the Iowa Good Roads as- soclation called it to order nearly 100 dele- gates were present besides a number of interested spectators. Attorney David E. Stuart, president of the Ganymede Wheel club, an organization much Interested in the movement for the betterment of the roads, was selected as secretary. After a few Introductory remarks by Chairman Hart, these committees wore ap- pointed: Permanent Organization—Harry Turner, Washington; norm Hough, Crescent; Rob- ert Green, Kan RamlutlonHud[e J.

These preliminaries completed, Congress- man Walter L Smith was introduced and addréssed the meoting. Mr. Smith s op- posed to the government furnishing finan- clal ald for the improvement of public highways In the different states, and so expressed himself. He sald there appeared to be an impression among many of the people that the United Htates treasury filled itsell. This, he sald, was entirely erroneous, the money which went into the government treasury came from taxatien. Government ald, he belleved, would only result {n a general fight among the different 000,00 | states to get the largest share of the ap- a—«-,wu»m. between blocks nda fo Francls Haskins, lot 10, bloek ’l. sub., ‘8w d...... propriation. If the people were to be taxed for the building of good roads they might as well be taxed at home. Any system of government ald, in his opinion, would mean the robbing of one section of the country to benefit the other, He referred to the necessity of good roads for the ex- tension of rural free delivery system, He advocated some system of permanent im- provement of the public highwzyr by the local authorities to take the piuco of the present system, which, he sald, was but a tomporary expedient. He suggested that the first step should be the establishing of & permanent grade on every public thoroughtare in the county by & compettnt engineer, the same as grades were made by the city engineer on the streets of the S el & @ity He also urged that the furmers cut Wil & B,,mm m, At the weeds on. the roads abutting thelr land. LEWIS CUTLER B raee in his address sald he had not made up his mind In regard to the question of govern- ment ald towards the improvement of pub- le thoroughifures, but he was of the decided opinion that the state should appropriate money for the purpose. He urged that the state leginlature at its next meeting make /| & handsome appropriation for bulding pub- llo highways. It was all nonsense, he sald, that a rich state like Towa could not af- ford to defray the greater part of the ex- pense of improving the public highways. He said he favored the plan of the state bear- ing half the cost, the county one-quarter, the township 16 per cent and the abutting property owner 10 per cent. He ketched the origin and growth of the good roads movement and urged the convention, now that it had the matter well started, not to let it fiag or dle down In Pottawattamie county. LIBRARY SITE Pl}RCHlSED Cloves Deal and Pays Money for the W, H. Homest ™. d. Pusey The Board of Library Trustees at a spe- clal meeting yesterday morning closed the deal for the purchase of the W. H. M. Pusey homestead, at the corner of Willow avenue and Pearl street, as the site for the Carnegle lbrary buflding, The com. mittee, of which J. J. Stewart was chair. man, reportéd that the desd to the city of the property had been signed by Mres. Pusey and the other heirs, dnd that noth- ing remained but to place the Instrument of record and pay the purchase price, $9,000, A warrant for $,00 in favor of Mrs, Pu- sey was ordered drawn, and at the closs of the meeting the deed was placed on record by President Rohrer, and the trans- fer accordingly appears in Wednesday's Teal estate transactions. The board has practically decided to pur- chase the Pinney property adjoining, on which it has an option, as additional ground for the library bullding. How soon this property will be acquired will depend on whether the board can antioipate the proceeds of the 1 mill ordered levied for library building purposes. This matter has been referred to Trustee Stewart to inivestigate, and If it is ascertained that the board can legally anticipate the levy the purchase will be consummated without further delay. At the olose of the meeting yesterday morning the following telegram, signed by President Rohrer and Becretary Stewart, was sent to Mr. Carnegle: ‘We have this day purchased and paid for in full a beautiful library site, fronting Bayliss park, In the center of the city.” Matters in Distriet Court, Mrs. Tillle Bloedel added her suit yester- day to the already long list of divorce cases listed for the September term of district court. She asks the court to sever the matrimonlal knot that binds her to Leonard Bloedel whom she married at Me- Gregor, Ia., August 17, 1883, She obarges her husband with cruelly and inhumanly treating her and recites a number of al- leged acts of violence which she endured at his hands. She asks the court to award her the custody of thelr minor child, a daughter aged 11 years. Richard O'Connell, a farmer living near the old Chautauqua grounds, appears as plaintiff in two suits against the Rock Island Rallway company. In one suit he asks that the rallway company be en- joined from obstructing a cattle way and be compelled to remove a culvert which caused the water from Mosquito creek to overflow his land. In the other suit O'Con- nel demands damages to the amount of $600 for the obstruction of the cattle way and loss caused by the overflow complained 1. Nels Mordensen brought suit against Henry Miller for $3,000 damages for the latter's alleged failure to fulfill a con- tract for the eroction of a dyke connect- ing the plaintif’s land with the public highway, Mordensen olalms that an arm of a laike cuts him off from the road, mak- ing & long and inconvenient detour. Mil- ler, he says, contracted to construct a dyke across the lake, but after partially | completing it abandoned the work. Consider Manual Training. The Board of Bducation held a special meeting yesterday aftern in the office of President Hess to consider a proposition from A. H. Adams relative to installing and superintending manual training schools of this city. Mr. Adams is & grad- uate of the Iowa State university and has taken a post-graduate course in manual training in the Wisconsin State untversity at Madison. He offered to come here for one month at the opening of the school year and if his work proved to be such as he represented it then the board was to en- gage him for the year at g salary of §T6 a month. The meeting yesterday afternoon devel- oped the fact that the board is divided on the question of manual training, at least 8o far as incurring any great expense in the Introduction of it into the schools at present, and adjourned until the morning ‘without taking afy action.

CURTAILING THE DIVORCE Presiding Judge in Des Moines Believes There is Too Many of Them. ALMOST A THIRD AS MANY AS MARRIAGES that Rellef Funds Norway Have BDeen Diverted fro (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 19.—(8pecial.)—Judge Howe of the district court, who has had charge of the divorce business of the courts for some time, s making efforts to curtail the number of dfvorces granted in this oounty, He has just had figures secured on the divorce business here, and finds that while during the year 192 there was granted to couples in this county a total of 1,240 marriage licenses, there was also in the same time granted 345 divorces, or about 28 per cent of the marriages result in divorce. This state of affairs is alarm- ing to Judge Howe and others and the bellef prevails that the percenta of dal- vorces to marriages is still on the increase and that the showing for this year will be ‘worse than last. Judge Howe is therefore taking a policy of strictest adherence to the letter of the law in all divorce mat- ters and insists that the persons shall have actual residence in the county, He beileves the divorce business has been too free in this county as elsewhere in the state, and that the courts should make divorces difficult as far as they are able to do so. Accusation Against Relief Committ: Members of the International Associa- tion of Machinists here have recelved an appeal from the Swedish lodge of the order in Brooklyn for funds to support a strike or lockout in Bweden sald to affect from 16,000 to 20,000 members of the association, which started in & small strike for higher wages. The appeal also in¢ludes an ac- cusation, or insinuation, that is lkely to be made the subject of an investigation; and that 18 to the effect that some of the funds forwarded from the United States for the benefit of the famine sufferers in the northern Scandinavian oountries are being held by the state officfils and are being used in a manner to discourage the workingmen. The intimation is that the relief 18 not given to thoss who are in need, but is used to assist persons to go and take the place of strikers in the large manufacturing centers. There was a large fund ralsed in Towa and forwarded to com- mittees In Bweden and Norway for the rellef of the sufferers. The members of | the committee have no knowledge that the funds were diverted from thelr proper chan- nel. The machinists clalm that the fight against them is largely political and be- cause they are leaders in the movement for revision of the suffrage laws of the country, Supreme Court Assignments, The clerk of the supreme court has desig- nated the order of hearing appeal cases in the October term of the Iowa supreme court which will ‘be the last term under the present system of four terms a year, and has essigned the causes for hearing on dates as follows from the different judicial dlll.rlc(l' ‘sok—October 6, three days, dis- r|ntt’ 1. g@. fidllnd 8; October §, two days, ricta ;eeond ‘Week—October 12, three days, dis ots 10, 7n .-.nadnwomobzr 15, three day: an ek October, 19, thres daye, dis- tricts 13, 14, 16 and Ootober 2, three days, reuulo 1s"ana & o Wee —October 2, four days, dis- tricts 18 an This will brhu‘ the cases from south- western Iowa on for hearing at the close of the second week, and those from north- western Towa at the close of the third week.

Investigate a Da The long-deferred purpose of Attorney General Mullan and Game Warden Lincoln to make personal investigation into the dam case at Bonaparte is likely to come to a head soon, for the water in the Des Moines is rapidly receding and is lower now than at any time for more than a year. It has been the intention of these twe officials to g0 to Bonaparte and make investigation there, to find out what is to be done in the way of bullding a new dam The owners of the destroyed dam have planned for a complete concrete dam to take the place of the old one. The attorney general is of the opinion they cannot bulld & dam until they have provided a fishway, and this will be insisted upon. Bauk to Meet Popular Demand.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.,, Aug. 19.—~The trial of Btate Benator Willlam P. Sulllvan, charged with soliciting a bribe, was begun here today before Bpecial Judge H. C. Tim- mons. The jury was secured without delay. It consists of seven farmers, two carpenters, @ state house employe, & clerk and an en- gineer. The state has elght witnes in- cluding Senator Nick M. Bradiey, present, while the defense has an equal number on hand. Among the latter is Senator C. A. Srgith, The indlctment as read charges that while the bill to repeal the law prohibiting the use of alum baking powder was pend- ing in the sena Benator Bulllvan offered to sell the vote of three senators to Whit- ney Layton, representing alum baking powder interests, for $4,5600. ‘W. J. Chambliss, record clerk in the of- fice of the secretary of atate, was the first witness called. The attorney general un- dertook to show by him the record of the slum bill in the sesslon of 1801, but Attor- ney Pope, for the defense, objected, saying that he falled to seo the purpose of this evidence. Judge Timmons sustained the ob- Jection, which was considered an important point gained for the defense. The purpose in introducing the record was to show that in 1001, when an exactly similar bill was pending, Senator Bullivar's attitude was the opposite to what it was in 1808, when the bill on which Buillivan is alleged to have solicited a bribe was up in the legislature, Whitney Layton, representative of the baking powder Interests, the witness on whom the prosecution depends chiefly, after testifying to the fact that he at. tended the legislature last winter trying to secure the repeal of the pure food blll, sald: “I met Senator Sulllvan in th large room back of the senate cloak rooms. I sald we needed three votes to get the bill that we wanted passed. He sald that for the sum of $4,500 he could carry two other votes and his own for the repeal of the Jaw." “Who were the other senators?”’ “He gave me to understand that Sena- tor Smith was one of the others. He sald we would see Bmith and go into the mat- ter further." Layton then told of Sullivan, Smith and himself going to the Madison house, and added: ‘“Just then Benator Farris came in and Benator Smith stepped over and Joined Senator Farris. I talked to Senator Smith later after Smith had talked with Blend To St. Paul, Minneapol ing resorts between Farris.” Bulllvan denled ever making any proposi- tion to Layton to secure three votes for $4,500 and charged Layton with attempting to bribe him with $3,000 to vote for the &lumn blil. Senator Smith partly corroborated the tes- timony given by Sullivan and claimed Lay- ton told him that Sulllvan had' ignored him. Major Emmett Newton also said Layton offered to purchase Sullivan through him. Layton denied this, declaring Newton bor- rowed $20 from him on the train one day and had never returned it.
