Sioux City Tribune: Waterloo will get

has wisely settled that problem by stipu-

Dubuque Times; When Iowa gets the

rebuild the School for the Deaf and Dumb

funds already appropriated to tho use OF
the Board Of Control. IL Is therefore inn
probable that the construction OF permA-
nent buildings will be put on for two
years.

smallpox Among Graders.

The fact that three smallpox patients
from the grading camps along the grade
of the Great Western railroad have drifted
into the city to be taken care of is viewed
with alarm by the health authorities. Dur
ing the week three men suffering with
smallpox have been sent to the pesthouse
by the local health officers, the third being
taken there yesterday afternoon. He gave
the name of w. J. Eaton and said he had
been working In the camp Of the Bates &
Rogers Construction company since last
Monday. AS the grading camps are located
outside the city limits the municipal health
authorities take the position that cases Of
smallpox arising in them should be cared
for by the county and not by the city.
There was talk yesterday of the city health
Noard demanding that the county super
Nrs take the necessary steps to quaran-
the grading camps in which smallpox
developed.

From a star Correspondent


DIES MONIES, May 24-(Special.)-The
supreme court in a decision in a Council
Bluffs case today rendered an opinion which
will stand as a precedent In matters re-
leting to building and loan associations
and their duty to carry out contracts. 1t
was the case of Elizabeth Field against
the Eastern Building and Loan association.
She had become a stakeholder to the amount
Of five shares Of stock Of 800 each. The
contract stipulated that in seventy-eight
months the stock would mature on pay
ments Of rs cents a month.
The plaintiff lived up to her part of the
agreement, but when she attempted to re-
cover the amount Of the stock she was In
formed that the estimate was wrong and
that she would have to continue payments
II she desired to mature the stock. Many
questions were raised in the trial, but the
court devotes greatest attention to the con-
tract, 1t states that the contract was not
an informal, hastily prepared memorandum,
but a part Of a carefully devised plan Of
business. THE great body Of the patrons
Of such associations is made up Of men
and women of limited experience" says
Justice Weaver in the opinion. Not one in
a hundred of them, though Of fair average
intelligence and caution, would put upon
IN OOhbl any ONuSl OOhohA uSbAOh %
the plaintiff did"
A determined stand has been taken by the
court on questions of reputation Of con-
tracts Of this character. The opinion says;
1T is repugnant to the very accepted def
milton of contract that one party shall be
clothed with a right to repudiate its obli-
cation in whole or part while holding the
other in strict compliance with its terms.
There is nothing in the nature or organ-
ization of the defendant which can or ought
to relieve 1t from the performance of it's
contracts. The fact, II it be a fact, that in
the end 1t may not be able to pay the
claims Of other members is a matter we
cannot consider. We are not charged with
the duty Of winding up the affairs Of the
corporation or settling the rights Of mem
bers upon a final distribution of its assets
II any. Our only duty at this time is to
construe the contract on which suit is
brought and to enforce 1t accordingly. The
action is held maintainable."

FIX The MARRIAGE RECORD
Well Known Business Man Complying with
Law in His Native Land.
RIGHTS TO PROPERTY ARE INVOLVED
Records in Netherlands Require Much
Greater Accuracy Than IL Usually
Observed in the United
States.

Mar Bouricius, the well-known music
dealer on Broadway, secured yesterday from
Judge Wheeler Of the district court an or
der correcting the record Of his marriage
In this city In order that the requirement.
OF the law in the Netherlands, his native
country, might be fully complied with. Mr..
Bouricius expects to become heir to prop
erty In his native country and this made
the correction of the marriage record here
necessary.
The full name of Mr.. Bouricius Is Mar
inu Bodinus Louis Bouricius, and that OF
his wife before her marriage to him, Jo-
hanna Pauline Louise Lohan. They were
married in this city July 8, 1887, by Rev.
T. ]. Mackay, then rector Of st. Paul's
Episcopal church Of Council Bluffs. The
marriage record did not contain their full
names as above, but only their initials,
and there we're several other abbreviatlons.
The law In the Netherlands requires that
all names Of persons and places be spelled
in full, and the record was, by Judge
Wheeler's order, so corrected yesterday.
The law of the Netherlands also requires
that all persons under the age of 30, before
being married, must publish the marriage
bans three times, with an interval Of four
teen days between each time, with the
statement Of the parents consent. This
Mr.. and Mrs. Bouricius failed to do, and
fearing that in the future 1t might cause
trouble, they had the bans properly pub
lIshed in the native country, and then, on
July 13, 1883, had the marriage ceremony
again solemnized, this time before Justice
OF the Peace e. s. Barnett.
Both Mr.. Bouricius and his wife expect
to inherit property at some future date In
their native country, and in order to pre-
vent, by some technicality in regard to
their marriage. any trouble for themselves
or their children in obtaining the inher-
itsnce they had the records corrected to
comply with the provisions Of the law in
the Netherlands. The certified copy Of the
corrected record was forwarded yesterday

Grand Army Men Go Home.

John Lindt, the new department COM
mander of the Iowa Grand Army Of the Re-

morning. after all the work Of the encamp-
ment had been attended to. He will re-
turn In a few days and issue his first order
and name his aides. George A. Newman
of Cedar Falls continues as assistant ad-
jutant general.
Practically all who had been attending
the meeting of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and kindred bodies have returned
to their homes. Not one of the visitors
was injured or became i'll or got into any
trouble. and the week, considering the
large number Of persons present, was re-
garded as one especially fortunate In Des
Moines.
The last few days there has been an I'M
usual fall OF rain In Iowa. The local
weather station reports the fall Of rain
last night to mou to LOO inch, which
brought the total fall for the month OF May
to AT inches, which is above the normal.
The rain continued falling during the day
and reports indicate that the rainfall is
general over Iowa In the northwestern
part OF the state heavy rains have been re-
ported all week and the farmers say that
the ground is entirely too wet either for
planting corn or cultiVating 1t and that
the weeds are getting a big start on the
crops. Injury to gardens and orchards Is
also great.
