AFTER LIBRARY BUILDING
Board Of Trustees Will Make Another Effort
to Levy Tax to Purcta's Site.
HOPE TO INDUCE CARNEGIE TO ASSIST
Owner of Building I'm which Library
is Now a Notified 60 Com
ply with Law Regarding
Fire Escapes.

The Board Of Trustees OF the public
library. at its meeting yesterday afternoon.
acted On tWo important matters. 1t de-
cided to renew the effort to create q sink
ing fund for the purchase o. a site for a
permanent home for the library and In
structed the secretary to notify Nathan
Merriam, owner Of the building In which
the library is At present located. TO comply
with the state law requiring that all three
story buildings be equipped with fire es-
capes.
one year ago the library board attempted
TO levy a 2-mfIl tar for the purpose Of
creating a sinking fund for the purchase
Of a site for q library building. but the
city council refused to certify to the levy
and the matter was permitted to drop, al
though several members of the library
board were Of the opinion that the city
council exceeded it authority. Since then
the law governing the power of library
boards has been amended so as to ma
terially increase It. Library boards now
not only have the right to levy not ex-
ceedlng 8 mills for library building pur-
| poses, but have the right and authority to
condemn property for sites for public II
brary buildings when necessary or deemed
advisable.
r.. A, lTOuLmdut W. - bdlIV anu - ~
Cassidy were appointed a committee to take
this matter in hand and to provide ways
and means for securing a site for a library
building. The trustees have hopes that in
the event Of being able to secure q site
they will be able to induce Mr.. Carnegie
to provide the funds with which to erect
the building.
This resolution regarding hre escapes
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, In compliance with the inten.
tion of the act of the last general assembly
OF Iowa. which will take effect July I, 1902.
, that Nathan Merriam be notified by the
! secretary Of the board of said statute and
he be requested to comply with the same.
The report Of the librarian for May gave
these figures; number of visitors, 1927;
numbe of registered booktakers, 2,73S;
number of books taken 1851; amount ex-
| pended for rented" books, 3264.4s; amount
received from rentals, S255.OS; number OF
books in circulating library on June I,
IS, 523.
The report OF the finance COMMITTEES
showed a balance In the treasury on June

INSANE OVER THE KIDNAPPING
Council Bluffs Woman Imagines Per-
petrators of Cudahy Crime
Are After Her.

Mrs. Kate Feeley, who became mentally
deranged a year ago over the Cudahy kid
naping case, was taken to the insane asylum
at Clarinda yesterday, the commissioner
having decided she was insane. She was
brought here from Troy, n. Y, by Deputy
Sheriff Askin Of that city.
Mrs. Feeley formerly resided on a farm
In this county and the board decided yes
terday that her legal residence was still in
Pottawattamie county, although 1t Ia more
than a year since her husband lived here.
Shortly after the Cudahy kidnapping case
Mrs. Feeley became seized with the hallu-
c~ination that she had witnessed the perpe-
traitors OF the crime divide the SIS 900 paid
by Mr.. Cudahy for the return Of his son and
that In consequence they were following her
with the intention Of numbering her. She
was placed in st. Demands hospital and
on March 26, 1901, was sent to Clarinda.
At that time her husband, Mike Feeley,
who owns a large farm in this county, was
working and living In Omaha In December
Mrs. Feeley was paroled in charge Of her
husband and on April s was granted q dis
charge.
Recently the old delusion regarding the
kidnapping case again took hold OF her and
her husband decided to send her TO rela-
tives in Maine. She had a violent spell in
Chicago enroute east and called upon the
train crew to protect her from the kid
napers. At Troy she became so violent
that she had to be taken from the train,
and the insanity commissioners there or
dered her taken back to Council BLUFFS.
Mrs. Feeley is Al years Of age and appears
to be perfectly sane on all matters ex-
cept the Cudahy case.

Hailstones as large as walnuts fell in great

ing corn, oats and small grain were so
nearly destroyed that the farmers are con-
templating blowing the fields and planting
the ground in corn and many window panes

never was so much painting, improvements.
additions or repairs to houses already built
as is being done this year, the carpenters

enough men to finish all their contracts.
Altogether It is a conservative estimate to
say that over S500.O 900 will be expended
in building, improvement and repairs in
Creston this summer. and laborers Of all
