take leaves Of absence to accept other
temporary employment. Such was the
ruling of the city council Monday

thought that If the city employees were
not satisfied with the wages they were
receiving and thought they could make
more money elsewhere, they should
quit, and let the city hire some one
else in their places. Chief Kirby is
sued an order today in keeping with
the councils resolution.

The case brought by Miss Lena Sim
kins, as administrative, of the estate Of
her father, II. e. SimlSins, on behalf of
herself and other heirs, against the
Hawkeye Commercial Mems asso-
citation was begun in the district court
this afternoon. The suit was brought
in an effort to collect on the policy held
by Mr.. Simkins in the association.
A nice legal point is involved, being
whether or not the beneficiary's death
was accidental. He died from blood
poisoning resulting from pricking him
self in the hand with an embalmer's
needle. The association is contesting
the claim on the ground that the
caus of his death did not come under
the provisions Of the contract of the
insurance policy.

A monstrous petition, which has
been circulated among the business
men and tax payers of the city, and
which has also been signed by many
club women of the city, was presented
to the board of supervisors Monday
asking that the board appoint DR.. Rosa
Liebig overseer of the poor to succeed
Harmon Pemberton. The petition has
been signed by practically all to whom
it was presented 1t is the conviction of
many that DR.. Liebig, because of the
experience she has had in similar work
in connection with her duties as hui

her for the work.
The appointment may not be made
at the present meeting of the board,
