The Council Bluffs Bridge.

Council Bluffs. March 11.--Congress
man Walter /. Smith returned home
from Washington yesterday morning
but his constituents are just as much III
the dark as ever regarding the bill
which he introduced providing for an
other bridge across the Missouri river
between Council Bluffs and Omaha
Congressman Smith, when asked re-
garding this bill, admitted that he was
asked to introduce it by a wellknown
citizen of Council Bluffs, but as the
latter requested that his name be no,
made public Mr.. Smith considers the
matter confidential and declines to state
at whose instigaton he introduced the
bill which has excited so much interes!
and curiosity here. AS to the parties
back of this bill, Congressman Smith
states he is in ignorance, and that he
has no idea for whom the charter is
ultimately intended.

BURGLARS AT FAIRFIELD.
Thieves Enter Homes of ]. spielman
and J. Thorne and Secure valu-


Fairfield, March 11.-Burglars are
visiting Fairfield again. Last night
they entered the home of John A. Spiel
man and secured fine gold watch
valued at s125. a fountain pen and other
valua bles. They secured an entrance by
prying up a window in the library and
then they went thru the dressers and
sideboards and the rest of the house.
From here it seems they went to the
home OF Louis Thoma. Here they Sc
cured a silver watch and then they
were frightened away for nothing else
was disturbed. They gained an en-
trance in the same way as they did at
the home of Mr.. Spielman. Next they
tried to enter the home of L. Gordon,
but were frightened away by Mr.. Cor
don. who heard them. The officers have
clew to work upon and it is hoped
that the work may be successful. BY
some it is thought to be the work
OF home talent in connection with out
side help.
Also the home OF John c. Thorne was
entered and about three dollars in
money and quantity OF cigars was
taken.

SAC CITY NEWS.
Short Term of Court in session-The
School Election.

School Election.
Special to Times Republican,.
Sac City, March 1.-Court is now
in session, with Judge Church on the
bench. The term will be completed
next week, as there are no cases of
very great Importance to try this
term.
The school election brought out n
full vote. This was on account OF
voting the ten mill tax again for the
new school house, on which there was
"a fight made by few because the
taxes were a little high resulting from
the other ten mill tax levy for school
house purposes. Those voting for the
tax won out by a majority of two to
|one.
The new school house is now as
sured and the site selected by the board
and preparations for building are now
being made.
The Bowman Kranz Lumber Com
pany has decided to locate a lumber
yard at Sac City, thus making two
additional yards located here within
the last month. This will make five
yards for this town. The Bowman
company intend to make Sac City
"a distributing point for the out put of
yellow pine from their mills in Louisi-
ana.
Altho the primaries are the first week
in June, yet the candidates are not
very active, and probably there will be
little contest for nominations The
one candidate for county superinten-
dent OF schools, who has announced
himself as candidate will probably
have no opposition and while there
are two candidates for treasurer they
are not very active.

SALOON WAR ON.
League at Sioux City Will Enforce
Holiday Closing.

Holiday closing.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, March 1.-THE SALOONS
OF Sioux City must keep closed on
holidays.
This is the ultimatum Of the Anti
Saloon league as enunciated by It's
president, Rev. Charles Williams, to-
day.
The opening wedge of what may be
a split in the agreement the league has
with Mayor Caldwell and the liquor
dealers with reference to closing hours
appeared yesterday, when some of the
saloonkeepers, objecting because they
could not open up after the polls closed,
declared they would be allowed any
how to keep open on holidays.
There is no such compact" said
President Williams today. The sal
oons must keep closed on holidays
that's final"
Continuing, Mr.. Williams said when
the matter was under consideration
some time ago. the league committee
stated positively to e. w. Caldwell, act
ing AS agent for the liquor dealers, that
no such concession would be granted.

Successful Experience by the
Civil Engineering Depart
ment of State College
RESULTS ARE FIRST CLASS
Firs. Plant Built at the College Under
the Direction of Professor Marston
Has Been Complete success-Thc
Modus operandi Pursued at That
Place.
Special to es-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. March 1.-THE civil engineer
ing department of the Iowa STATE Col
Ilege has for five years been Investigate
ing and experimenting with sewage
publication and the result has been
perfect success. The first plant in the
state was designed by Professor Mar
ston. and built by the college in 1898.
Since that time it has contil uously
purified an amount of sewage equal
to that of the average town Of 1000
population. The effluent is as, clear,
sparkling and odorous as the purest
spring water Chemical and bacterial
tests show it to be purer than some
we'll water which is used for drinking
purposes.
The subject of sewage dispose is very
important in Iowa because the cities
of the state are now just beginning
to put in sewers as extensively as they
did water works during the last two
decades. The college receives many re-
quests for information and the author
titles OF many Iowa towns have visited
the college plant. Five bulletins have
been printed relating to sewage dispos
al in Iowa and can be obtained on APP
plication to Professor Marston.
The plant consists of a brick septic
tank and OF two filters OF sand and
gravel about four feet In depth. After
passing thru the tank the sewage is dis
charged on top OF the filters. Tile
drains underneath the filters remove
the purified effiuent. The plant cost
only $500 for construction. 1t costs
about $3.50 annually to maintain It.
The filters last indefinitely with some
care in the way of loosening up the
surface With hoes or iron rakes. The
plant is successfully operated in the
winter as we'll as in the summer. 1t
purifies from 10000 to 10000 gallons of
sewage per day. Experiments in the
purifying Of creamery sewage are now
being begun on account of many re-
quests received from the creameres Of
the state.
The departments OF botany and agri-
cultural chemistry have CO. operated
with the civil engineering department
in all this work.

God of our fathers. Lord of All.
Who sits on justice for a throne,
Both right and might are thine alone.

Forbid that greed should vanquish right.

Should strangle justice. Thou art just;
Let justice triumph by thy might.
Save us from foolish men and blind
Who sell their souls TO save cause
And trample underfoot the laws
Thou hast decreed for all mankind.
Have mercy on the few who hold
The millions welfare in their hand,
Who fall to see or understand
That justice pays a thousandfold.,
And pity, Lord, as PHYS thine.
The arrogance that mounts throne
And robbing thee of what's thine own
Proclaims it rules by right divine.
Let caste and class be checked again,
And ranks and orders, let them pass,
And let us, looking at the mass,
Find beings God has made for men.
And give us patience to command
The faith 70 hope that right at last
Will triumph. TIL the storm is past
Let reason lead US by the hand.

BY fellow feeling let us learn,

POLICEMAN PUNISHED
FOR LEAVING HIS BEAT

Charles F. Osterman has been fined s25
for leaving his beat while on duty, has
been transferred. and warned that SIM
liar infraction of duty in he future will
be visited with more severe punishment.
1t appears from the evidence placed
before the trial board that Private Os-
terman was absent from duty for three
days without leave. Major Sylvester in
passing on the case said Osterman's ac-
ton was prompted by over sensitiveness
over orders given by his superiors.
Major Sylvester thought Private Oster-
man had the qualities of a good police
man, and recommended the action above
mentioned
