Der 20 last nave made confessions. The
confessions of Aaror. and Beveridge
have been reduced to writing and arc
in the possession of the county attorney

Mrs. Aaron's confession is verbal, and
is concurrence in the statement made

had knowledge of it, and put the
blame on Slim Burns, indicted jointly
with them, and whose trial will be COM
1nenced February 10. 1t was learned
yesterday beyond question that the
three co-defendants will go on the
stand as state witnesses and testify
against Burns.
The crime to which the confessions
relate was committed December 20.
Corcoran, who was employed as IL lab
orer on the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &

for $35 on the day lie was killed. He
came to Des Moines and was seen in
the company of Beveridge and Burns.
The morning following his body was
found in coal shed in the rear of the
Aaron house. Death had resulted from
morphine poisoning. The police dis
covered evidence that Beverage and
RurnS had been trying to diSnoSe of the
pay check and arrested them; follow
ing this was the arrest of the Aarons,
the theory being that Corcoran was
"doped' while drinking beer in the
Aaron house.

Special to Times Republican,
Baskerville. Feb. l5.-As the tili'e io'
the municipal election draws near thefe
is considerable interest manifested as
to the mayoralty candidate. Inc ques-
ton of municipal ownership VIII enter
largely into the contest. The published
statement of the city clerk showing the
earnings of the light and water works
plant to have made gain of over l0o
per cent as compared to the same nine
of last year, while the operating
expenses had only increased IL per
cent. will have tendency to unite all
factions and likely elect a mayor and
in favor Of municipal own
ership.
1t will be remembered that something
over a year ago the city undertook to
enlarge and rebuild the old plant to
meet increased demands, and being
bonded to the limi. was enjoined and
from doing SO. A number Of
NATIVE citizens formed citi-
zen'S committee, purchased the re-
CURED machinery, enlarged the build
ings and loaned the city the use of the
plant under contract that the earnings
over and above operating expenses
should be applied on the amount eN-
pended by the committee, thus saving
the plant from passing into the hands
OF private parties.
The statement of The city clerk has
proved the wisdom o: the arrangement
as there promises to be quite surplus

| Red Oak.

Red Oak.
Red Oak is to have new bank. Mr..
A. B. Shriver prominent bank presi-
dent of Winterset. Iowa, arrived in the
city recently and Immediately began
negotiations with Mr.. Nazarenus for
the vacant lot at the southeast corner
Of the public square. Our townsman
offered tie lot for $500. The visiting
gentleman replied with an offer Of &c.
| 600. Mr. NaZarenus stood pat, the bid
was raised to the amount demanded
and the property changed hands. While
Mr.. Shriver was party to the trans
action, it is known to a certainty that
certain prominent banker of a town
not over sixty miles away. is the prim.
mover in the affair, and that plans
are already being formulated for the
erection of a new bank building on the
lot purchased. In fact a certain bust
ness man of Red Oak has been asked
concern, and it is probable that sever
al Red Oak men will be interested in
the new venture.
Council Bluffs.
The discussion OF the water rental
has been started this year by the re-
quests of the members of the fire and
police departments for a general in
crease in salary. The general fund.-
which is provided by a 10-mill levy, for
the meeting of the current expenses of
the city, would be- large enough to al
low the raise were it not for the fact
that it is necessary to use large
share of that fund in the payment of
the water rental, the 5-mill water levy
being insufficient. For the PSI fire hy-
drants now located in Council Bluffs
the city pays annually $4,000 rental.
The contract between the city and
water works company provides that the
city shall pay at the rate of 500 an
lnually for the first 200 hydrants and SIS
annually for all additional hydrants.
The 5-mill water levy yields less than
$4,000 annually and it is necessary to
take about $4,000 of the general fund in
the payment of the water contract
every year. The 10-millrlevy for the
general fund provides the city with
about $34. 900, so it will be seen that the
water rental takes. besides Its own
| levy, more than one-fourth OF the levy
for the general fund. The collection of
saloon licenses and the police court
revenue. however, Yields to the city a
| fund equal to and sometimes more In
amount that that obtained by the 10
mill levy, giving the city about 100000
with which to meet its current ex-
penses. Without the police collections
the present city government could not
| be maintained.
