Gil BLUFFS, committed suicide at 5 o'clock

DIES MONIES. March 10.-(Special)-The
alone Of the two branches OF the gen.
eral assembly was in session today, and the
only bill Of any Importance passed was one
which provides that in all cities where
municipal waterworks are operated the
boards of trustees shall be appointed by
the mayors, one member every two years
and the terms to be for six years, the
boards consisting Of three members at an
annual salary OF $500 each. This bill Is
for the immediate relief OF Dubuque and

commissioners shall be appointed by the
district court, but in a notable decision
recently rendered Il was decided that this
method Of appointing was contrary to the
constitution. This leaves the municipal
w~aterworks in the two cities affected by
the law at the mercy of the city councils
again. The bill passed by the house this
morning had been passed in the senate
and goes to the governor. 1t is salts
