MAY RAISE AUDITORS SALARY.
Supervisors Are Empowered by New
Law to Fix Salary.

According to the provisions of the
new Iowa law the Marshall county SUI
pervisors are empowered to raise the
salary OF the county auditor. The new
law fixes the salary in counties having
a population under 10000 at $1,000. In
counties having a population between
10000 and $4,000 the salary of the aud
itor is fixed at $14o0. No amount is
specified in counties of over $4,000, and
the supervisors are empowered to fix
the salary. This would give this coun-
tvs supervisors the privilege of rails
ing Auditor McLeland's salary If they
see fit, as Marshall county has a pop
ulation aggregating nearly 10000. AT
present the salary of the county aud
itor is $1,000, and With fees, which the
supervisors permit him to have, brings
his salary to about $1,700

PAVING Resolution Goes Over.

ut was thought that the paving reso-
luton calling for the paving of streets
interseoting Church and State, would
be brought before the council. as that
was the intention at the last regular
meeting. Chairman Good, of the streets
and alleys, however, moved its postpon-
ment until the next regular meeting,
May 9. Mr.. Calhoun introduced Pc
tition, signed by w. E. Smelling, N.
Merrill, Mrs. H. Weber. II. II. Beaman
and VIII Wallace, as chairman of the
board of trustees of the Christian
Science church. asking that the coun-
Gil not pave Fifth street between Main
and Church. Several reasons were Civ
en- Among them were that the prop
erty owners had already had to pave on
either Main Or Church; that asphabtum
had not been fully tested and should
be before any more was laid: that taxes
are already high, without the special
if made at this time;
that the street was generally rolling to
the south, was not shaded, and was
never in a bad condition. The peti-
ton was placed on file.
Another Wants Damages.
Aside from Mrs. Belle Hanousek,
whose claim for 81 900 damages because
of broken ankle resulting from falling
on an icy sidewalk was filed with the
council Monday night, Mrs. Margaret
McManus of 2O3 South Second avenue,
filed claim for personal injury. Mrs.
McManus alleges that because of a de-
feetive sidewalk, covered with Ice. she

Catholic church. and sustained . tract.

OF a material diocese. and others that
he was only presbyter. Wheatley
writes that he was man of most
admirable parts, and so famous for
his charity and love that the choos-
ing of valentines upon his festival
took rise from thence" In this ex-
PLANTATION, however, the cause is evil
IDENTIFY mistaken for the effect. The
custom Of choosing valentines was
already established, and CHANGING,
through its derivation from the pagan
festival, to fall upon the ides of Feb.
ruary, in which also occurred either
the birth or the martyrdom OF st.
Valentine, the appropriation OF the
name to that custom was most nat
ural In view of his character.
In England and Scotland and the
countries colonized by them st. Val
entine's day retained all through the
Middle Ages and down almost to the
present a more typical character than
1t did elsewhere. In Austria and Hum
gary 1t Is festival of flowers rather
than OF love billets. Young girls who
wish for husband cast flowers into
the Danube, and II they are borne
steadily down the stream, without
meeting with serious obstruction. the
omen Is held to be suspicious of
speedy marriage. In some parts of
France the eve OF st. Valentines day
is called the Feast OF the Torches:
but the celebration, which, indeed Is
sometimes held on the first Sunday OF
Lent, has, apparently. closer his.
torical relation to that period OF alb
negat!on than to the patron OF loves
courtship. The torches that are used
are made Of twisted straw, and are
brandished In the air by those who
carry them, while at the same time
peculiar rustic dances are performed.

festival of st. Valentine. 1t is well
known that in many languages one
letter of the alphabet may easily be
substituted for another through popu
lar error in the spelling of particular
words. 1t is suspected by some that
the name Is primarily derived from
the Latin vale" which Is equivalent
TO our farewell" salutatlon that
was placed at the end of letters; but
large number more ingeniously find
its source in the Latin "valens," vail.

to become "valantan" or "valantin."

lectures aside after simply passing

merely for the delectable purposes
Of the imagination, that we will join
with Charles Lamb and other most
worthy dreamers in regarding st. Val.

very charming mission in connection
with the love affairs of humanity
Thus does the inimitable Lamb apos-
trophize him: Like unto thee, as
suredly there is no mitred father in

miraculous sucking of the Roman

this spot Part of the unspeakable
mysteries of the Iupercal!a was cele.
brated In such a cave. But much of
this inference Is pure after.thougbt
1t does not affect in the least the
theory that the festival was begun as
recognition of the prodigious powers
OF nature. t.
Choice by Lots.
During the Lupercalia II was the
custom Of the male celebrants to draw
from box the names of young women
end girls. possession of whom was thus
determined by chance. II was the
policy OF the early Church to adapt to
its own system those customs of the
pag9ns which II could not eytirpate.
This method of mating or betrothal re-
sisted prohibition and even substitu-
ton. II is related that st. Francis
de Sales and other Christian pastors
put the names of saints on the lots to
be drawn, In the place of those of
maidens. and charged the young men
saints throughout the year. But while
they may have tried very hard to obey
this injunction, It appears that the lot
drawing. not In honor of Februata
Juno but in honor of that which she
personified, continued in secret. The
Church could not do otherwise than
tolerate the custom, when the name
of a patron saint was substituted by
popular fancy for that of Juno.
There is no clear account of how
st. Valentine came TO be made the
bishop of the diocese of love, which
Donne so prettily describes. There
are several St Valen,.nes, and It is
not even known to a certainty which
of these owns the invisible mitTe.
The one who died a martyr at Rome
under Claudius is, however. most spo-
ken of in this connection. Some
say that he was the bishop
