WATER AGAIN RISING.
Heavy Rains of Wednesday Night
North Send the Iowa Up AGAIN.

Heavy Rains of Wednesday Night
North Send the Iowa Up Again.
The heavy rains of Wednesday night
along the Iowa river valley between
Ackley and Eldora have caused the riv-
er to rise again. and since midnight
the waters have been gradually coming
up. While the rise is not very rapid,
only about half an inch an hour it is
steady one and gives promise of at
least continuing turnout the day. AT
noon the river was as high as 1t was at
the highest stage Wednesday night, or
within seven inches of the highest stag.
of last year. If it reaches the high
water mark of last June it will have TO
come up more rapidly than 1t is at pres
ent
High Water Between Here and LeGrand
The water in the Iowa river bottom
lands between here and LeGrand is con-
sidered by many to be as high as it was
at any time during the two flooded
periods of last year. Hundreds of acres
on the south side of the Northwestern
tracks are submerged and on the north
side there is nothing visible but water
from the tracks to the river. The land
IS practically all covered excepting
small strips here and there, where the
land is higher.
Between Montour and LeGrand the
conditions are not so bad, as the ground
is little higher. The dam at the res
ervation of the Sacs and Foxes, which
is on the river and forms large pond
below, shows no fall of water whatever,
being one whirling, seething mass OF
water, on level. Ordinarily there Is
fall of between six and eight feet.
Between Tama and Montour all the
timber and bottom for miles has from
one to three feet of water on both sides
of the Northwestern tracks.
Horses Lives Endangered.
Three head Of horses. belonging to o.
S. Lloyd, a farmer living north of the
city. are on an island north of the Sol
diers' Home, which is entirely SUBJ
merged. The horses are in three feet
of water and cannot reach the main
land because of the high water that
surrounds the island. The animals
have had nothing to eat, and unless
they can be rescued, or the water goes
down, they will starve to death. Mr..
Lloyd made an unsuccessful attempt
to rescue them this morning.
Local Rainfall Light.
The rainfall for the twenty four
hours, ending at $50 this morning was
only 10 of an inch. All but .03 of this
amount fell during the storm of late
Thursday afternoon.

Power of Attorney in Barber Contract
/. Contains Slight Discrepancy.
Al the adjourned meeting of the city
council Thursday night consideration
OF the citys contract with the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company. for the ten
blocks work on Church street and
Fourth avenue, was taken, and the vol
luminous contract read in full. All the
members were present, and aside from
the contract the bond of the National
Surety Company, and the power OF at
torney, given Mr. Kilmar, of Des
Moines, were read.
In the latter slight discrepancy was
found, in that the words Fourth street
was used instead OF Fourth avenue,
in speaking of the work to be done from
the south line of State street to the
north line of Church. Mr.. Kilmar was
present and promised to have the mat
ter remedied by new power of ator-
new at once. The delay will not be a
serious one, as the error was merely
clerical. and on motion of Mr.. Greene
the bond and contract We're approved,
and ordered signed by the mayor, upon
the proper presentation Of the new
power of attorney
Mr. Good, of the streets and alleys
committee, reported the purchase of the
new Austin-We Company Ltd,

new sweeper is in the city and repre-
sentative of the company will arrive
from Chicago next week to set it up
and place 1t in working order
With a motion to adjourn before the
house Mr.. Mcbride called the councils
attention to the fact that the report
of the citizens committee made at the
last meeting. had not been printed, and
suggested that 1t be ordered SO pub
lished by the council. The notice to
citizens to boil the water had also not
been published, as directed, until fur
Their notice" Mr.. Greene didn't think
1t necessary to publish the report, as
publication had been made in the news
columns. While the argument was be-
ing engaged in Mr.. Webster called for
a vote on the motion to adjourn, before
the house. and it was lost, Arnold,
+ Greene, Henry and Webster voting
aye,
Mr.. Mcbride, upon taking the floor
again in support of his proposition to
publish the report, qualified his state
nlents and put into a motion the pub

The work Of the pubic schools fol
the year 1923 was brought to a close
today, and tonight many of the teach
ers, residing at other points, will leave
for their homes. While a number OF
changes in the present corps will occur
there will not be as many as might be
expected, considering the great demand

the consequent heavy drawing from
schools that have reputation. such as
those of Marshalltown.
Three of the present corps are to be
married. Miss Besse Beaver, super
visor of music, who has been connected
with the schools two years, will be mar

impartial criminal prosecutor Of the
Folk type would employ to the com
plete discontinue Of all guilty parties.
Mr.. Folk. when he has been unable to
convict upon more serious charges,
has sometimes found it easy to bring
a rascal 20 justice by trying him for
some minor offense-the reason being
that defendant occupied with a big
graft or fraud. invariably neglects to
cover his tracks in little matters.
It would, Of course, be rank libel to
accuse any member OF the Dawes com
mission who Is involved in land deals,
amounting to hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars. with padding his expense ae-
count or stealing a two-ceht stamp
from the government; yet neverthe-
less there may be censurable inadyert-
ences on the part of some subaltern
in confounding private and public ex.
penditures. To illustrate: The en-
tire Dawes commission, It Is alleged
spends more time and thought on af.
fairs OF loan companies than upon its
official duties AS business men the
members are charged with trying to
get hands or the land and moneys
which as officials OF the government
they are sworn to protect from he
greed OF private individuals. These
companies and the commission there
fore deal with the same subject mat
ters. although. it is true. for abso-
lutely different purposes. The head
quarters Of all concerns are in the
same cities, and often in the same
buildings. So these allied though con
fiicting businesses might possibly con
fuse their separate accounts.

commissioners, report the item of sal
