REMOVE PRES. M'LEAN.
Davenport Alumni Demand Change
at State University.

Davenport, May "a Davenport
alumni of the State university last
night denounced the discussions be-
tween the president and faculty OF
that institution, and declared that its
best interests would be served by the
removal of President MacLean. A
called meeting of the alumni associa-
ton was attended by about sixty uni
versity graduates, presided over by
ex-senator William Q. Schmidt. The
resolutions adopted were presented
by Judge J. w. Bolinger, of the Sew
enth judicial district, and President
MacLean was scored in speeches by
various men prominent in the profess
sions. ~.
Ex-Mayor Henry Vollmer, of the
committee which visited and investi-
gated the university, reported that
the situation there imperatively de-
manded reform. Eminent scientists
of the faculty were in q condition
bordering on desperation owing TO
their treatment by the president. The
institution had lost 400 students, it
was asserted, since the MacLean ad-
ministration began. Such express
sions as "two-spot," "dude" and "hyp-
notist" were applied to President
MacLean by some of the more yigor-
Gus Of the speakers. ~
Gov. cummins Not Informed.
Des Moines, May 24.-Gov. Cum
minis denied today he ever advocated
the removal of Pres. MacLean, of the
State university. He says he has re-
ceived no complaints.

SATURDAY NIGHTS.
Popular Programs viii Be Given al
the Y. M. c. A.

The first Saturday evening enter
tainments, which were started at the
Y. MICA. Auditorium Saturday night,
was success in every particular.
There was large crowd present and
a short, spicy program was render
ed that entirely pleased the audience.
II is, not the object to give anything
classical, but the time is meant to
be a relaxation from the daily hum
drum Of life, and the programs are
intended to bring smiles that will
smooth away care 1t is the object
of the Association to give program
Of this kind every Saturday evening,
as long as the patronage lasts. Mu-
sic was rendered by the ever useful
graphophone at intervals during the
evening; Ralph Gossage gave two
very entertaining Dutch recitations
in the national costume, and Miss
Beulan Drinkle rendered two series
OF piano solos In an entertaining way.
Master Harold Kirby brought down
the house with his song OF an Indian
chief, and Miss Stella Mcmillan read
two very pretty numbers, thus COM
pleting the program If the rest Oh
the evenings" are like the sample,
there will be no doubt about the pa
tronage.

MUST Be Put ON EDGE.
Construction of Brick Sidewalks
VIII be Changed.

An adjourned session Of the city
council Monday night was devoted ex-
clusiVely to the new sidewalk ordi-
nance and it was amended and made
ready for engrossment. The particu-
lar section of the new instrument
which called for the most considera-
ton and which caused the early retir-
ing members of the council to lose
considerable sleep was the one de-
voted to the construction Of brick
sidewalks. A. J. Augustine, Of the
Fourth ward, was the architect of the
amendment, but before the structure
was accepted it was so changed that
the builder hardly knew his own
house. AS finally agreed upon, the
section provides that brick walks
must hereafter be constructed Of Wit
rified repressed brick laid on edge,
supported on either side by brick set
on end, and the whole placed on
foundation of sand five inches deep.
1t is figured that walk thus con
structed viii cost more than cement,
a condition that seemed to meet with
general approval, as it is desired to
have as few brick walks in the city as
possible.
The ordinance also provides that
hereafter when the city orders in
new sidewalk it must be built within
thirty days. If it is not put in with
in that time the city will contract for
and place cement walk. The clerk
was also instructed to advertise for
bids for the necessary iron plates and
works to be used in the paving and
curbing of North B street
Just before adjournment Mr.. Ken
worthy called attention to the fact
that the term Of enlistment of the
members of the fire department ex-
pires June l, and that some action
should be taken towards ye-enlist-
ment or a revision of the department.
He advocated another salaried man
at the department to relieve Mr.. Nc
Cracken, The council adjourned sine
die, but will be called together again
Friday evening to continue the con-
sideration of the sidewalk ordinance.

Iowa railroads report that they
Nave been compelled to pay much
larger sums in taxes the past year
than ever before. The report thus
far filed, and these are of the smaller
companies in the main, shows that
they have paid about IS per cent
more taxes in Iowa last year than in
1902. This is due TO the great in
crease in assessment the past year. IT
is expected that when the reports OF
the larger lines, which suffered the
greatest increase in assessed value
are received, the percentage of in
crease will be still larger.
