Before adjourning yesterday noon the
Board of Supervisors disposed of the sal
AIRY claim OF j, II. Macrae, city quarantine
officer, for the time being by deciding TO
allow him pay at the rate of $50 a month,
Instead of at $40, the compensation fixed by
the city authorities.
1t is understood that officer Macrae will
not accept the reduced salary and that
the courts will be appealed to in order that
the question may be finally determined.
The board adjourned TO Monday, April 10.
when the matter of a road petitioned for
in the east end of the county will be taken
up. The bids for painting and redecorat-
ing the court rooms and corridors on the
upper floor of the county court house will

nection with the proposed Nishnabotna

LAW MADE SUBJECT OF ATTACK

The Illinois Central Railroad company
filed yesterday with County Auditor lines
an objection to the assessment OF 5000
made against the company for the lateral
ditch in Harrison ottawattamie subdrain-
age district No. /. The hearing on objec-
tions TO the assessments made by the COM
missioners Is to take place next Wednes-
day at Logan, at which time the Supervisors
OF Harrison and Pottswattamie counties
will meet in joint session as a drainage
board.
The ditch in question is commonly known
as Boyer lateral No. / and extends from
the upper end Of cutoff No. 2 for a dis
lance of six miles up the Boyer valley. The
entire lateral is in Harrison county in the
vicinity of Missouri Valley.
Numerous grounds are alleged in the
objection and the constitutionality of the
section Of the Iowa code providing for sub
drainage districts Is attacked. II is charged
In objection to the law that It permits the
establishment Of the subdistrict whether or
not there is a public necessity, and whether
the benefit to be derived is private or
public. 1t is also claimed by the railroad
company that the commissioners made the
assessment against 1t on the basis of bene-
fits figured as a specific sum, while other
property was assessed on an acreage basis.
1t is further alleged that the assessment is
greatly in excess of the benefits derived.
1t is also generally alleged that the pro-
visions of the law were not complied with.

Wool Growers
Offer Reward
Circular Mailed in Chicago Places
Association in False Position
Regarding Tariff.

CHEYENNE, wyo., April 1.-THE Ma
tional Wool Growers association has
offered a reward of 500 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction Of the
person or persons who. It is alleged, placed
the association In a false position as favor
ing the reduction OF the tariff on wool.
1t is claimed that unknown parties issued
a circular from the Wells Street station,
Chicago, entitled Thirteen Good Reasons
for Lowering the Tariff on Wool" The
circular also bore the statement, For
additional copies address George s. Walker,
secretary National Wool Growers associa-
ton"
Secretary Walker denies all knowledge OF
the circular and declares that the wool
growers have made a strong fight to up
hold the tariff on wool. He characterizes
the statements made therein as libelous.

NUMBER OF SALOONS LIMITED

PopuIation--DruE stores
Attended To.
NUMBER OF SALOONS LIMITED


NfTOm n StaII OOTIeSpoHoeTl.D
DIES MONIES, April 1~1.-(Special THE
state tax levy will not be increased as the
result Of the work Of the legislature. which
has Just closed, but will remain at 80 mills
on the dollar for the taxable value Of the
property Of the state. The legislature
authorized a raise in the amount to be
collected by taxation from s., $4,000 A year
to 81, 5000 a year, but this slight differ
ence will easily be made up by the natural
bids having more than one saloon for each
1000 inhabitants of a city or town, except
that a town less than 1000 may nave one
saloon. But it is also provided that there
shall be no arbitrary and immediate reduc-
ton in the number OF saloons, but when
saloons are closed FOR violation of law they
shall not be reopened when this would re-
suit in increasing the number beyond one
to each 1000 population. In this way there
is sure to be gradual reduction in the num-
Der of saloons. In Davenport. for in
stance, there is one saloon for each 300 Of
population. The effect of the law will be
to make saloon keepers try harder to
avoid a clash with the law In such cities,
for If their places are once closed they
will Nhave difficulty in getting a start
again. This bill, with another which for
bids brewer ownership of saloons, it is be-
lieved will have a wholesome effect on the
saloon business of the state.
A Curb on the Drug stores.
The Legislature near the hour of closing
finally passed a bill to put a curb on the
whisky drug stores in Iowa, about which
there has been more complaint than about
the saloons. The bill requires that the
permit blanks which are used by druggists
to be signed by applicants for liquor,
where liquor permits are held, shall be Sc
cured from the county auditor, that these
shall be numbered and a record kept Of
plete record of the sales of liquor osten-
sibly for medicinal purposes. 1t is known
that the present law has been evaded and
disregarded by those drug store men who
desire to sell liquors. but under the law
1t will be risky business to ignore the law.
state Wins Big Case.
The state of Iowa won a tax case in
supreme court today which gives the treas
ury $4,000. 1t involved the estate of the
late George Wells in Grundy county, in
which two Wills were left and no direct
heirs. A settlement was effected by which
three collateral heirs received $4,000 to
drop a contest. and upon this the county
now holds that the state is entitled to
the collateral inheritance tax on all this
payment. The amount involved is $1,000,
but 1t also sets a precedent that will be
valuable to the state in other cases.
