READY FOR ADJOURNMENT. DAY
Dakota Legislature Has Cleared Up
About All the Business
Before II.

PIERRE, S. D., March 5~.-(Special Tele-
gram. The senate cleared its calendar to-
day and has but little work for tomorrow.
Just before the close tonight there was a
warm discussion on a committee report on
a bill introduced by Close to pay interest
on certain claims at the Reform school. A
house bill to pay the claims and interest
was introduced early in the session and
passed the house, where several members
fought 1t on account of a claimed doubtful
validity. The senate passed 1t after cutting
out the interest, and in that way IL passed
both houses. A new bill for the interest
was introduced in the senate and brought
on a fight between Close and the majority
Of the appropriations committee. in which
McDougall, Friesberg. Burke and Bennett
took a part, killing the bill.
The senate passed a bill regulating the
handling of intoxicating liquors, containing
the substance of the bill vetoed by the
governor, but avoiding its irregularities.
and the senate bill appropriating money for
the judge Of the new Ninth judiciary cir
cult. The senate made laws OF house bills
increasing the Limitation Of school levies
60 25 mills on the dollars; to require all
school levies to be in specific amountsi
providing regulations for waste gates in
mill dams; to fix boundary between Penn,
ington and Meade counties; relating to
dockage of grain on basis fixed by screen
ing; giving greater powers to the Pure
Food commission; general law in regard to

curing notice by treasurer to taxpayer be,
fore delinquent collections are placed in
hands Of sheriff; to prevent the appro-
~priation OF live stock running on range,
and to legalize action of supervisors OF the
village OF White Rock.
The house at its morning session cleaned
the house calendar. in which there was
a tight over the bill to tax mining stock.
Allen led for the bill. backed by Hutchin-
son of Beadle and Bromley. Gross op,
posed II as a measure which was only in,
reduced as a club by the insurance lobby
and one which should be defeated. This
: called out hot retorts on the part Of Brom.

CALL FOR A GAS INSPECTOR
Citizens Complain Of Quality Of Gas and the
Size Of the Bills.
MAYOR MORGAN ONE OF PRoTEsTANTs
Reduction in Price, AccOrdinE TO
Complaints, Has No Eject on the
Size of the Illuminating
Bills.

City %oficials yesterday we're discussing
the sdvisability Of appointing a gas in
spector in view Of the many complaints re-
ceived by them from citizens. For months
past complaints have poured into the city
hall from all parts of the city that not only
is the gas furnished OF an exceedingly poor
quality, but also that the bills are excess
sive.
AS one citizen put It when registering
his complaint yesterday, he did not think
the people Of Council Bluffs should be COM
PEELED to pay $1.45 per 1000 cubic feet for
wind instead Of gas. Before the new con-
tract with the Gas and Electric company
the citizens of Council Bluffs paid $1.75 for
Illuminating gas and $3.50 for gas for fuel
purposes. Under the contract now in force
they pay S1.45 fiat for gas for both illumi-
mating and fuel purposes, but they COM
plain that their bills are now greater than
when the higher rates prevailed and in ad-
dltion the gas Is Of a much poorer quality.
1t was expected that when the gas com
pany completed it's improvements to it's
plant that the quality of the gas would be
improved, but from all parts of the city
complaints come that IL anything it is
worse.
One city %offcial, who had tried to cut
down his gas bill by installing electric
lights in his residence and store, stated
yesterday at the city hall, when the mat
ter was being discussed, that his gas bill
for the month of February was larger than
In January before he commenced using
electric light for Illuminating purposes.
Citizens from all parts of the city also have
made complaint that month by month, no
matter how they endeavor to econcmize,
their gas bills assume an upward tendency.
The general allegation is that the gas COM
pany, by pumping air through it's Llpes,
makes the meters register the same as II
gas instead of wind was passing through
them.
Mayor Morgan is one who registered a
vigorous protest with the company, but re-
ceived no satisfaction and he is determined
to bring the matter to an Issue, especially
as hundreds of citizens have complained to
him.
: AS an instance, one citizen stated yester-
Cay at the city hall that while in January
his gas bill for illuminating purposes only
had been less than So. it reached close upon
Sc in February, a shorter month than the
one previous, and as far as ne was aware
he had not used any more gas. In view OF
the numerous complaints and the investi-
cation made by City Electrician Bradley
and others, who state that the quality OF
the gas furnished by the company is moi
up to the standard, the city council is ex-
pected to take some action in the matter
at its next meeting.

|ENJoINs THE GREAT WESTERN
Terminal Company objects to Grade
Crossing of Its Tracks
In City.

The Omaha Bridge g Terminal Railway
company is not willing that the Great
Western railroad shall cross it's track on
Fourteenth street between Ninth and Tenth
avenues, unless 1t agrees to construct and
maintain interlocking switches. This the
Great Western has declined to consent to-.
and yesterday the Terminal company Sc
cured a temporary injunction restraining
the Great Western and the sherin's fury
from condemning a right-of-way across its
tracks.
In it's petition fled yesterday the Ter
minal company sets up that II Is incoI q.
porated and operating under the laws of
Nebraska and has owned and operated a
railroad extending from Council Bluffs to
Omaha for ten years. The Great Western,
1t asserts, desires to cross Its track with
four tracks on Fourteenth street at grade,
and this the Terminal company will not
agree to. 1t is willing, 1t states, to permit
the Great Western to construct either an
overhead or undercrossing. but IL it per-
sists in a grade crossing 1t must do SO
with interlocking switches.
The sherif's jury, consisting OF j. P.
Hess, f. T. True, l.. a. Casper, w. F.

AMES, Ia, March ESPECIAL. )-During
the last year the department of mechanical
engineering has determined the heat max.
ing power Of samples of coal from twenty
one different mines in Iowa representing all
of the important mining districts. The
average of all samples tested shows Iowa
coal to have a Matchmaking value OF APP
proximately IL 900 heat units "a heat unit
is the amount of heat to raise the tempera-
ture of one pound of water one degree). The
maximum and minimum results were 70, 200
and $3.50 hePt units respectively. Concur
rent tests Of anthracite coal gave ~, 500,
Of foundry coke II, $50 and of Beaumont
crude oil $4,000.
Chemical tests on Iowa and competing
soft coal show that Iowa coal is higher in
combustible material than Illinois and Ala
bama Goals and but little lower than Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia Goals.
Som lowe Goals are high in sulphur and
others are high in ash, which facts account
for difficulties experienced in using them
for domestic and steam-making purposes.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
PurHSt Of EmOIllOntS and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfgurine
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss Of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by a hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by a dose Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t Is especially
so in the treatment of Infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants Of the toilet, In caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in"
fancy to age, far more effectually,
~agreeably and economically than tho
most expensive of toilet emollients.
Its "Instant relief for skiu-tortured
babies, " or "Sanative, %antiseptic cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment of the
hands," or "Slngle treatment of the
hair" Use after athletics, " cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each In connection with the use
Of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
Of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying aud identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair. for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafings, as well as for all purposes of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
