WILL INCREASE LEVY.
school Board Will No Longer Ro1
Peter TO Pay Paul.


Peter TO Pay Paul.
The school board has decided to call
for the levying of a tax for 1901. payable
expenses of the schools and at the same
time pay an overdraft OF several thou
sand dollars which has been handed
down from the boards of previous years
and which is drawing interest
The retrenchment boards of few
years ago trimmed the levy down to a
point where 1t failed to meet the actual
cost of operating the schools and the
necessity of building the Arson school
on the south side has left two CT the
three funds slightly overdrawn, in adj
dition to the unpaid interest bearing
warrants outstanding. The board met
Tuesday evening to consider the fnan-
cial question and agree on an estimate
of the amounts to be raised In the three
funds by taxation. Believing that a
floating Indebtedness at high rate of
interest was poor economy, The board
agreed that the following sums should
be raised for school purposes:
Ieachersa Iund $50, 600
School house fund 3. Is, 900
Contingent fund. >. -. !. -. !. $4,000
Total. S6O, 900
This agreement is not binding and the
board may see fit to change 1t slightly
at the annual meeting in May. The in
crease in the estimate is in the teachers
fund. The district is paying in teachers
salaries about $4,000 per year, bur for
several years past the levy for this item
has been $4,000 and $4,000 the de-
ficiency having been made up from the
funds received from the state sppor-
tlonment. from the tuition received
from non residents and by transfer
from the other funds. The portion of
the 1900 taxes now being paid will Just
about carry the district thru the bal
ance OF the school year. To the credit
OF the present board it can be said that
the overdraft handed down by the pre-
vious board has been considerably re-
duced the past year.

Ruth Allie Mae, our darling,
Sunlight Of our hearts and home,
Thou hast fallen asleep In Jesus;
Left our sore hearts sad and lone.
All old earths hard, rugged pathway,
Those dear little feet have passed.
Short thy mission, Baby darling;
Thy young life too sweet to last.
Now voice doth pierce the stiffness
OF our once bright, happy home,
Stiffness so intensive feel it,
Feel the Dlackness of Its gloom.
But the Voice In love would cheer us,
y Cropping, heart-sick, for our God;
Weep not, for love thee, children,
Though lead the meath the rod.
Though a strong earth tie is riven,
Though thy hearts seem all bereft,
You've sainted heir in heaven,
Sweetest thought you still havel left.
Though your little darling cometh
No moro to your hungry hearts,
You may go to her In Heaven,
Home where loved ones never part.
o.hor babes as sweet may claim thy
Father-hOod and motherhood,
Though in love chide my children,
Still. 1 lead them meath the rod
A Friend.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Ambnssador
Cheate, who. arrived in Washington
Monday night, called. upon Secretary
Hay Tuesday, and had a long talk
about the projected Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. and other matters with which
the embassy at London has been con-
cerned during the past summer. Mr..
Choate will remain over in Washing
ton until Wednesday to see the presi-
dent.
Lord Pauncefote, the British am
hassador, has notified Secretary Hay
formally that the British government
accepts the American propo sition rela-
tive to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as
the base for new treaty. Within a
day or two the state department will
begin the preparation of the oonven-
ton itself. AS this document is ex-
pected to come in for the most minute
scrutiny and the closest criticism
when 1t reaches the United States SEN
ate, the department officials are pre-
pairing to exert themselves even more
than usual to insure absolute accura CIV
OF expression, and to avoid antiquities
which might lead to misunderstood
ings in the future. It is possible that
this work will be finished in about twr
weeks.

Horse shooting, BIB shoeing, cutter
shooting by j. G. Holmstrom.

The republicans of johnson county
failed to file the nomination papers
until four days after the time fixed by
law, and the county auditor refused
to certify the names for the official
ballot. From this decision of the
auditor the party leaders appealed to
Judge Wade for mandamus compel
ling the auditor to have the names
printed on the official ballot. Judge
Wade in q lengthy opinion overruled
the county auditor and orders the
names placed upon the official ballot.
and from the reading of the very able
opinion the conclusion is that the
ballot may be filed at any time before
the ballots are printed. Judge M. j.
Wade is democrat yet his construc
zion of the law enabled the republicans
OF Johnson county to have it's county
and legislative ticket published on
the official ballot. Some years ago

OF Cedar Rapids in the case of Col.
Chas. A. Clarke VS.. the Election Board
of the city pronounced the registra-
tion law that denied an elector his

democratic Judge says the construc-
ton put upon the law by county audi
tors is unwarranted and not legal.
County Auditors Fish, Williams and
Champlin have each denied to town.

nees printed on the official ballot,
though presented for filing two weeks
or more before the ballot was given
to the printer. We do not censure
the county auditors for their ruling,
though we always believed it wrong
and dictated by partizanship rather
than principle, but as there was a
legal question involved, overlooked
what we deemed the partizan feature
