John Merriam left Council Bluffs in August, 1891, and nothing has been heard of him since October, 1882, when he was sald to be in Calffornia.

This year the committee had all the painting and repairs done by day labor, under the supervision of T. A, Brewick, the supervisor of bulldings and grounds, instead of by contract. By pursuing this | course the committee figures that a saving of about $1,000 has been made. For sanitary reasons the committee decided not to paper any more of the school rooms, but to paint the walls Instead. At the Plerce street school the four-room addition has been furnished and will be opened Tuesday, this making this school now a twelve-room building. A new steam heating plant has been insfalld at an expense of $2,000 and $1,100 has been ex- pended In putting In new tollet rooms. At the Bloomer school new floors have been laid throughout the building and the Inside repainted. A cream tolor has been used on she cellings and on the walls to the moulding and from the moulding to the blackboards a terra cotta. The front porch has been rebullt, as have the stoops at the west and south entrances. The total cost of the improvements in this bullding was 32,350, or nearly $400 less than estimated. The Interior of the North Eighth street school has been repainted and the roof, which as torn off during the windstorm about two months ago, replaced. At the Washington avenue school two rooms have been painted with lighter shades than used in the Bloomer school as an experiment. The outside woodword on the Twentieth aventie, Second avenue, Avenue B and Thirty-second street schools has all been repainted and other minor improvements carried out.

Bteele have returned from the Philippines, where they went as teachers In the public schools two years ago. They were both graduates of the Normal school and went among the num- ber who were recommended by President Seerley. Mr. Steele was at the time secre- tary of the Young Men's Christian associ- ation of this city and intended to take up | similar work In that country, but found the conditions unfavorable. He says the | American soldjers have made matters worse instead of better as regards morals. Many have been discharged from the army for drunkenness and these have ~been thrown on the country without means of support and no ambition to acquire any. Many of them are ving in open lewdness with Philippine women. These conditions ! make It very unpleasant for American | women of good morals. Mr. Steele says he can accomplish more g00d in this coun- try than he can there, as before any ad- vance can be made in moral training the influence for evil exerted by the Americans lhen‘ulveu must be counteracted.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY ON FREIGHT RATES Way it is 'Settled Means a Difference of Forty Per Cent to Shippers in Some Towns in North- ern Towa. i (From a Staft Correspondent.) . DES MOINES, Sept. 4.—(8pecial.)—Atten- tion of the republican state committes was called today to_various party troubles in tho state and the committee will try to effect some compromise to prevent defeat of republican candidates. Today B. F. Robinson of Estherville presented to Chair- man Spence the matter of the double nbm- Ination in the Emmet-Dickinson representa- tive district. Mr. Robinson was nominated and on Thursday filed his papers with the secretary of state in due form. Today the nomination papers of Dr. Q. C. Fuller of Milford were also flled. The convention divided and two nominations were made. Both claim 'the right to go on the ticket in regular form. No matter which is ac- corded the right it i certain there will be two republican candidates in the field. However, there are about six republican votes to one democrat in the district and this will assure the selection of a repub- lican. The trouble In the Bremer-Butler senatorfal district also came up. Informa- tion was received to the effect that the nomination of N. H. Larkin was made by blind ballot against the protest of B. H. Boesbe, the rival candidate. Two of Soesbe's delegates deserted him, but afterwards the entire Butler county delegation of thir- teen made afidavit that each and every- one voted for Soesbe and the tellers swear they counted it right. Threats are made that the friends of Soesbe will bolt the ticket and help elect John Wade of Park- ersburg, brother of Congressman Wade. There is also a complicated situation in Hardin county that forebodes “trouble. Chalrman Spence has now opened head- quarters and expects to remain perma- nently in charge of the work. New Deal in Railroad Rates. The Interstate Commerce commission has apparently clashed with the State Rail- road commission and the state and federal supreme courts and started a controversy that is likely to become notable. The evi- dence has come from W. C. Staley, traffic manager for the Natlonal Grocery com- pany, in an Inquiry of the state commis- slon. He states that the Chicago & North- western Rallroad company has given notice that on traffic from Mason City to Dolliver, Burt and other points on the Algona branch the Interstate rates will be applied instead of the rates of the lowa classification. The business is routed by way of Blue Earth, Miun., and the company claims the right to treat this as other than state traffic. The Iowa commission has held that a shipment from one point in Iowa to another point In Towa, no matter how it Is routed, is strictly state business, and the Jowa and United States courts have upheld this position. Secretary Lewis has written to this effect to the grocery com- pany. It is learned on the side that the Interstate Commerce commission has re- cently given the Northwestern a ruling to the contrary and acting on this the lowa rates were withdrawn on business that for a part of the route is outsidg the state. In northern Iowa this increases the rates over the former rates as much as 40 per cent in some cases. It is an entire new policy for the company and the state com- mission will insist that the policy hereto- fore followed shall be adhered to. Campaign Slanders in Court, An echo of certain red-hot campalgn at- tacks in lowa county two years ago has dust reached the Towa supreme court. W. R. Prewetf, editor of the Victor Index, sued John E. Wilson, H. C. Denn, John Morri- son, D. H. McGuire, C. Paeper, J. J. Bourkl and 8. W. Nicholson for $10,000 damages. In district court at Marengo Judge Burnham directed a verdict for the dofendants on the ground that in their af- fdavit they circulated in the campaign they made no alleged statement of fact, but merely expressed an opinion, and an opinion was not libelous. He also indicated that the supreme court had never glven any directions on this polnt. The case is ap- pealed to find out whether an afdavit of Impeachment is libelous fn Towa. . Saved Momey for the State. At the meeting of the exposition commis- sion this week if was brought out that the plan adopted by the lIowa commission of getting the Jowa bullding done before the rush came for other work at 8t. Louls had unquestionably been the means of saving the state a great deal of money on the bullding. The contract was let last Feb- ruary and at a price that could not be secured now by several thousand dollars. The contractor was able to do the work lelsurely and chiefty with labor 4aken from lTowa. . Other states are finding that in the rush prices are put up high on everything. In the matter of plumbing the commission was fortunate in that it found a big con- tractor with workmen standing idle wait- Ing for something to do and the plumbing was secured at cost. Tt fs estimated that the state saved from $5,00 to $10,00 by the promptness of the commission In acting. With the secretary of state today there was filed the articles of Incorporation of the Goodell Creamery company of Han- cock county, capital $3500; by A. Ander- son and A. C. Carpenter. The Woodbine Milling company became Incorporated with $15,000 capital; Isase DeCou, president, J. L. Athey, secretary Towa Man Goes to Turkey. J. B. Morcombe of Cedar Raplds has re- celved a flattering ofter from the sultan of Turkey, which he will accept, to go to Macedonfa and make a report to the Ameri- n newspapers on the actual situation The contract and the money for a year's salary were forwarded to him by the Turkish minister at Washington. The purpose of the mission Is to present to the world actual conditions as they exist in the troubled reglons. Mr. Morcombe is assist- ant lbrarfan of the Masonic library at Cedar Raplds and editor of the Masonic Bulletin, He has also been A newspaper worker and correspondent for a pumber of years. No Rates for Ju The business men of Des Moines have been arranging for a fall jubtlee or carnival to be held later and had made partial ar- | rangements. Today word was received from the chairman of the Western Passenger assoclation to the effect that no special rates would be granted, hence the affair will be called off. Gibford Inguest Not Fim d. ‘The ooroner's inquest over the remains of Arthur Gibford of Newton, who was found dead here during state fair week, has not yet been concluded, the coroner waiting for certaln reports on examinations. The mystery of his death has not been cleared up and there is & feeling that he met with foul play. Teac Wages Too Low, JLow wages and high prices for board are causing country school teachers to quit] their jobs. One young girl entered County | Superintendent Z. C. Thornburg's office this morning and told of securing a school and after going to ten families was able to get board only in a family of eight children, living In & little tumble-down shanty, and for which she would be required to pay $8 a week. Inasmuch as her salary was only $30 a month, she was forced to give up the school. FATAL ACCIDENT AT VINTON One Man Killed and Five Injured by Collapse of Two-Story Building.
