First Wife May Not Prosecute Hus-
band, But Sue Second Wife.
Waterloo, Sept. 6.-Mrs. Wilson, Mrs.
Mamie Wilson, the first, so information
has been received here, may not press
the charges of bigamy against her hus-
band, Levi NJ. Wilson, but may con-
sole herself with bringing suit against
H. Helen Tinker, of Gladbrook, now
Mrs. Wilson, the second.
The warrant charging Wilson with
bigamy is still in the hands of the
officers here and in the meantime Will
son is out on bonds of $500 ON charge
of wife desertion filed by his wife in
Des Moines.
The Des Moines officials, 1t is said,
declare that Mrs. Wilson, the first, will
be unable to press the wife desertion
charges against Levi Wilson in Des
Moines as she is not a bonafide resident
of Polk county. However, the warrant
of bigamy would be good in Black
Hawk county as the couple were mar
ried here, or a warrant for bigamy
would hold in any other county where
Levi and Mrs. W., the second" have
lived.
It is understood, however, that Mrs
Wilson, the first, will obtain her heart
ease and balm by an action for dam
ages In the district court and will moi
press the bigamy charges. The second
Mrs. Wilson is reputed to be quite
wealthy. She is resident of Glad
brook and rumor has 1t that she i:
worth from $4,000 to $4,000.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Sept. 6.-Iowa counties
should have another official If the state
is to realize real economy IN the i'm
provement of its roads and the g,n-
eral conduct Of it's construction work
This is the opinion of Prof. w. G. Ray
mond, head of the department OF the
college of applied science at the state
university.
The official which Professor Ray
mond would give every county in the
state would be a competent civil en-
gineer He would not be exactly an
additional officer for if Professor Ray
mcnd's plan were followed he would
supplant the present county surveyor
"A competent Ell gineer" said Pro-
fessor Raymond, "would save the
county annually more than enough TO
pay him a good salary I have known
instances where the advice of a G ,od
engineer on the design of a. single
structure built by the county would
have saved enough money to the tax
payers to pay the engineers salary
several years. ALI plans for bridges and
other structures erected by the county
should be designed and the specifica-
tions either drawn or examined by a
man competent to tell whether they
answer the purpose adequately and
whether the bids submitted on them
are at a fair price.
Serve Under Supervisors.
81 would have the engineer employed
by the supervisors and subject to their
directions. He should not, think, be
vested with the powers which now be-
long quite properly to the board.
Cali road Improvements also should
be under the general direction OF the
county engineer, and his assistance in
establishing grades should greatly i'm
prove our present highways. This
would result in a more uniform and
| Intelligent treatm ent of road problems
/ and much more could be accomplished
at a less cost than now. would have
a requirement that a county engineer
should be subject to an examining
board who should determine his fitness
for the work. In the creation of this
board it might be a good plan to give
it special powers with reference to the
general oversight of the main high
ways of the state and also river i'm
provement.
"A county engineer could be of serv.
ice in directing the drainage work ir
counties where this work is required
This therefore would give him three
important fields of work-road i'm.
provement, construction work. ano
drainage work.
Again it should be remembered
that the state is spending money al
Ames and Iowa City for the education
of trained engineers. Most of these
having received their education, mus
go elsewhere to work This would no
be necessary were our county and state
work in Iowa on a proper basis fol
There is demand, in order to get tn,
best results, for the employment of {
great many engineers within thi
state"
