SUPREME COURTS
PECULIAR RULING
Supervisors Need Not cerair
Bridges Until T;.cy Get
Ready


When it comes to establish
ing new bridges o. making re-
pairs on old bridges no matter
how essential the improvement
may be, the members of the
Board of Supervisors of the
county in which such improve
ment is needed are "it" with
large letters.
The Supreme Court of the
State of Iowa yesterday rem
dered a decision to the effect a
county board cannot be COM
PEELED by mandamus or any
other proceeding to repair
bridges coming under the r
supervision, until they get good
and ready, no matter how de-
lapidated they may be.
The court points out that the
statute cannot be construed tc
mean that the supervisors can
be compelled by the courts to
build a new bridge after they
have officially decided not to do
so for if that were possible the
courts would be usurping the
powers OF boards of supervisor S
and reasons that if they cannot
be compelled to build they can
not be compelled by the same
construction of the statute be
compelled to repair.
The compliments in the
action in question were two
citizens of Taylor county whose
land adjoined the bridge alleged
to be in a state of disrepair.

Shirt Waist Romance.

Last evening the last meet
ing of the Multi Secundi club
for this season was held at the
home Of Miss Bina Oviatt.
After the business meeting
and the literary program there
was a little booklet with a shirt
waist romance given each one,
many lacking words to be sup
piled. HARDWOOD DENIM on
seemed able to give even the
young ladies pointers upon
shirtwaists and came out ahead.
He was given a pretty Easter
souvenir. Mr.. Gary Dole sus-
tanned his reputation as a win
ner of consolation prizes and
carried home a little basket of
colored eggs as his trophy. A
floral contest and various other
games gave zest to the evening.
A two course luncheon was
served about midnight and then
after long tarrying the gay
company dispersed, but each
and every one felt that the
meetings of this club during
the winter have not only been
beneficial, but have afforded
each and all an unlimited
amount of fun and frolic, pure
and innocent. Complimentary
guests were Miss Edna Kellogg
Of Logan and Miss Lucia
Shelly.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.
There were no church SER
vices in the Methodist church,
owing to the absence of their
minister, but their people
swelled the attendance at the
various other churches. A very
interesting exercise was given
by the Sunday school at the
usual hour, and there We're

prayer meeting held at sunrise
by the Epworth League
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
A joyous service was that
held in the Christian church.
The floral decorations were very
attractive. A large audience
gathered at both services. At
morning service the choir sang
Bierley's "Open Tomb anil
Ashford's He is Risen No. 2.
The hymns celebrated the an
niversary. The pastor, Mr..
Williams, took for the morning
lesson the resurrection scene as
recorded by Matthew. Exult-
ingly he told this story whose
repetition each year serves only
to enhance, and which will ever
thrill human hearts with it's
message of hope and comfort.
who shall roll away the stone"
asked the fearful women, and
10, when they reached the tomb
t se stone was moved. Thus
through the ages the loving
Christ removes the stones and
hard places which seem to come
in the pathway of His sad and
suffering children. Not even
the tomb's seal shall separate
Christ and them who bear His
name. Mr.. Williams called at
tention to the fact that it was
not to His friends, as is usually
said, that Christ presented him
self after the resurrection, but
TO those who were His enemies,
who refusing to be convinced,
fled and Showed unto the chief
priest the things which were
| done"
DANISH M. e. CHURCH.
In no church in the town was
there more beautiful or elabor-
ate floral decorations than in
the Danish church. The hymns
breathed of the joy and tri-
umph of Christian faith. Rev.
Schollert chose as his topic for
the morning, "Christ the Re
surrection and the Life" The
young peoples society held APP
propriate exercises in the after
noon. Christ's power over
Death as learned from the rails
ing of Lazarus was the theme
of the evening discourse. Every
; available space in the church
was filled at all the services
and in the evening some who
wished to attend had to turn
away for lack of room.

ACTION ON bitches
AWAITS JUNE MEETING
In the Meantime Appraisers Will
Decide Ditch DAMAGES.

During the interval in which
the boards of appraisers will
act on the claims of the various
persons who have claimed dam
ages from the construction of
the big drainage ditch, action
on the matter of the proposed
bitches has been postponed UNI
til the June meeting by both
the Harrison and Pottawatta-
mic county boards of supcrvis-
ors. The matter of the Potta-
wattamie end Of the Willow
ditch was set for a hearing in
Council Bluffs yesterday and a
large delegation from this city
attended the meeting of the
Pottawattamie county board,
but that body upon learning
a large number of claims for
damages had been filed com
piled with the law and post
poned any further action until
the June meeting. The Harri-
son county board has taken the
same action. Citizens in this
section Of the county are urg-
ing the names of Almor Stearn
of Logan and Ed Barrett of
Dunlap to constitute the Board
of Appraisers in this county.
Provided both are able to quail
ify for the position, no better
selection could be made.

joyful spirit. Christ has risen
is an established truth, and
because | live We shall live
also" is the promise given by
Christ himself. Mr.. MacAllis-
ter impressed upon his hearers
one of the great results of
Christ's coming upon earth was
the new view it brought to
mankind concerning Gods atti-
tude to the children of men.
No longer was He to be viewed
as an angry judge alone, so en-
wrapped in glory and majesty
as to be feared only, but that
through Him who is touched
with the feelings of our in
firmities we now come boldly
to the throne of God and call
Him "Abba Father" The Sab
bath school hour was filled with
a delightful program rendered
by the children. The attend
ance of the school was 1879. 1873

Private Secretary nt the
Head of Commerce Department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE SEN
ate has confirmed the nomination of
Hon. George Il. Cortelyou to be secre-
tary Of commerce and labor under the
act creating the new department. The
nomination was referred to the com.
mittee after the senate went into exec

ported the nomination. with n favora-
bic recommendation He asked for i'm
mediate action, and as there was no
opposition Mr.. Cortclyou was CON
frmed.
Mr.. Cortelyou was horn in New York
city on July 26. 1862. He is descended
from distinguished family, his ances-
tors being among the leaders i'm the
colonial and Revolutionary history of
the state of New York. From early
childhood he was an eaSnest student,
and his home training and associations
were of the best. He came to Washing
ton in July, 1891, as private secretary to
the fourth assistant postmaster gener-
nj. His record in the postofIice depart
ment was such that in 1898 President
Cleveland appointed him his executive
clerk and confidential stenographer. He
served President Mckinley in the same
capacity until 1898, when on account
of the vastly increased amount of
work at the White House he was APP
pointed assistant secretary to the pres
idcns. Tn the retirement of Mr. John
Addison Porter Mr.. Cortelyou was
named as secretary TO the president.
The wisdom of Mr.. Mcliinley's choice
has been demonstrated.

born of Hackensack, n. j., and Charles
j. Schlenker Of Batavia, n. Y. No
deaths occurred among the townspeo-
pie, although there are n number of
very critical cases. Eleven physicians
reported eight new cases and eight
others sent out of town. The reason
for sending new cases out of town Is
that the local physicians are utterly
unable to care for additional sufferers.

sity when seen in regard TO the typhoid
fever situation said, "The number Of
new cases among students has mark
edly declined during the last few days"
