WOULD AMEND ORDINANCE.

Ft. Dodge Council Cannot Agree on
Compulsory Marriage Measure.
Fort Dodge, March 27-Mayor s.. J.
Bennett faced a crowded house last
evening as he raped for order prepar-
atory to the passage of the marriage
ordinance by the city council
The council first disposed of regular
routine matters before arriving at the
ordinance known as AN ordinance pro-
viding for promotion of public welfare
and providing means for enforcement
thereof" When c. j. Crawford, chair
man of the special committee to which
the ordinance was referred, was called
on for the report Of the committee, he
announced that altllo much time and
thought had been given to the matter,
the committee had not been able to
complete a report on which it could
agree, and asked that it be granted
another week
After some discussion a motion was
passed granting the request
Two amendments were introduced
and referred to the committee for con-
sfderation, as follows:
No. 1-"That the term bachelor, as
used in this ordinance, shall apply to
and mean any unmarried male citizen
or alien who has attained the age OF
35"
No 2-''That every unmarried wom-
AN who has attained the age of 80,
shall, beginning WITH the following
leap year. be amenable to the provis-
ion of this ordinance in the same man

Des Moines, March 27.-The matter
Of salary readjustment in the state
service is causing a good deal of an
noyance to many of the members of
the legislature. Yesterday when the
bill to place the insurance department
under a special commissioner was up,
the senate voted to give him $4,000 a
year to start with and an assistant at
$4,000 a year. These two men will do
the work now done by the state audi
tor and clerk of the insurance depart
ment at $4,000 and $500 a year, re-
spectively, and. with the auditor de-
voting not half his time to the insur-
ance interests. The plea was made
that success in the department called
for an expert with long training, but
1t was also pointed out that the present
official in charge-Mr. Carroll-was a
newspaper man with no training in this
line, and he has made a great success,
devoting only half his time to 1t. Then
the bill to increase the pay of the adj
jutant general from $4,000 to $1,000
passed the senate without ripple; yet
1t is conceded that the adjutlnt general
has a very easy task compared, for in
stance, to the deputy treasurer or dep
uty auditor of state. and these men get
only $1,000 a year. The senate is
grumbling because asked to raise their
pay to $4,000. Then take the assistant
dairy commissioners, as another illus
tration and 1t is conceded by everyone
who knows anything at all about it
that these men must be specialists
quite as much as man in charge of
the insurance office, but they get only
$1,000 a year. Another Illustration is
In the bill fixing salaries in the state
library department. The bill proposes
to fix the pay Of the state librarian at
$4,000, which is small enough, then of
his assistant in the law library at ST.
500. and that of the curator Of the his
torical department at $1,000, with an
assistant at $1,000. AS a matter Of fact
the salary of Mr.. Aldrich, who has de-
voted lifetime to his special work,
ought TO be put on basis of not less
than $4,000, and certainly more than
that of the law librarian, Bills are
pending to increase salaries in nearly
all important positions in the state SER
vice save that of the state officers. 1t
Is probable than the compensation of
of the state executive council
will be increased before the term is
over. This is something which is in |
unless salaries are to be kept

Special to Times-Repubncan.
Baxter, March 27.-Roy Kiser, the IA
year-old son Of Frank Kiser, farmer
residing four miles south of Baxter,
has been myster1ously missing since
Monday night. The boy left home
Monday evening about $3.50 o'clock, tut
he was not missed by his parents un-
til early Tuesday morning. The rela-
tions between parents and SON were
pleasant, so far as known, but the lad
had frequently expressed a dislike for
farm work, and this is supposed to
have been the reason for his mystar-
ious departure.
1t has been learned that young Kiser
was seen at Melbourne on Tuesday
morning, and it is supposed that he
boarded train there, but which d.
rection he went is not known. The
mother is distracted. Kiser was very
tall, considering his age, and weighs
ITO pounds. He is of light complexion,
has blue eyes and brown hair and wore
blue overalls, black sweater and a
white felt hat when he left home. His
face is marked by blush powder burns.

Senator Jackson has started the
movement to have an immediate in
vestigation OF the school certificate law
SO that within week or ten days the
present legislature may do something
to either make 1t easier for teachers to
secure certificates or more attractive to
them. The senator is confident that the
overwhelming sentiment OF the state
demandsN some immediate action, that
the present law is working badly, that
a good many have been deferred by the
law from making applications for GER
tificates, that q good many have failed

and as a result we are face to facet
with a shortage OF teachers that will
be serious. Superinte ndent Riggs take s

| so low that good men cannot afford to

much puzzled to know what to do in
| these various cases
The joint rate bill which passed the
senate yesterday will be- when 1t is
| put in force, as far-reaching in effect
as any legislation enacted at the pres
ent session. Senator Jameson OF
Page explained 1t briefly and gave some
illustrations of the necessity for the
joint rate rule. For instance a ship
per at Shenandoah sends 50-lb pack
age by freight to Crescent; the charge
is 25c to Council Bluffs, Csc transfer
and 25c from the Bluffs to Crescent,
total of Is cents A shipper of the
same article in st. Louis sends ii from
there thru Shenandoah and to Cres-
cent for a total of % cents under an
interstate joint rate. A nursecyman;
at Shenandoah ships to Galena, ILL.,,
for $780, but the same shipment to
point in Iowa just east of Dubuque
would cost him $40. SO it is all over
the state. The railroads have long
refused to make joint rates in Iowa,
while making them in other states and
on interstate business. In the aggre-
gate this bill will be Of benefit many
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Iowa shippers. There are places where
1t Is not wanted, for the distance tar
If OF Iowa protects some shippers, but
the railroad commission has power to
make such Determinations as may be
necessary to protect such places. In
fact the whole matter is left to the
railroad commission.
The million dollars asked for to
make additions to permanent improve

the board of control experienced de-
citled shrinkage when the committee on
appropriations today reported to the
senate a bill to make these appropria

An alarm of fire was turned In
Thursday evening, about 1880, from

origin of the fire is mystery and when
discovered the building was almost
completely enveloped In a besom OF
