ALL IS NOT WELL.
Saloon Petition Finding More Difficult
ties Than Wsrs Expected.

Saloon Petition Finding Moro Difficult
ties Than Wsrs Expected.
The salaried manager OF the saloon
petition canvass has notified the board
of supervisors that the saloon petition
will not be ready to file on April 10, as
he had at first expected. He had re-
quested the chairman Of tho board to
be sure to convene the board on April
10 to canvass the petition but ne now
finds that he will not be able Ito get
names enough by that time.
/ The Beobachter appeared this morn
ing with one page printed In English
containing saloon literature, the lead
ing article at the top of the page sivin1
out the information officially THAI
names are coming slower than they
would like to see. It is known definite
" that the total secured to date is less
than 1000 names It Is also known that
the petitions were circulated and some
names secured before election day
which may cause trouble for the sa-
looms as to whether all names were
secured within the time limit Of thirty
days.
One petition also was circulated at
the soldiers home and contains names
Of men who are not voters in the city.
At Ottumwa it has developed In the
trial contest over a saloon consent petit
ton that one man signed as many as
nineteen petitions, 50 If anything OF
this kind develops in Marshalltown the
total already secured will dwindle under
fire.
The saloons own article In the Beo-
bachter reads:
"The canvassers on the saloon pc
tition complain that a great many who
ought to sign the petition at once say
they will sign later on II they are
needed. ]. c. Hanson, who is helping
to get out this petition. was inter-
viewed by the editor Of this paper this
morning and he said, I'VE certainly
need all the signers we can possibly
get do not like to at all times take
the public into my confidence, but I
feel the necessity Of telling the public
that II this petition IS to be made sew
era1 hundred signers will have to be
secured and all those who ought to
sign should sign at once, as 1T takes
considerable time to recheck the names
ana retale those whose names do not
correspond with the poll books. az We
must file the petition no later than
April 49," 81.

WANT CENTRAL SCHOOL
Movement Started at Clemens and in
Neishborins Rural independent Dis
triets TO Build Consolidated School!
At clsmons.

A movement that may result in a
consolidated school for Clemens ano
the four rural independent districts
closest to the town has progressed to
such point that it is likely that ar
election will be held in the town and
the four districts to determine the
question. The independent districts
are Nos. and of Minerva township,
and and Of Liberty township. If the
consolidation plan carries the school
will be built at Clemens.
The idea originated with the school
board of the Clemens school. and al
ready two joint meetings of the five
boards have been held to consider the
question. At the last of these, held
Wednesday night, q committee consist
ing Of Messrs. Clemens and Pollock, of
C1emons; VIII Ward and Ed Barton. OF
No L; Frank Tucker and Samuel Ely,
Of No. 2: Ed Ross and Fred vanMeter,
of No. Z, and L. K. Peterson and
Thomas Turner. of No. s, was appoint
ed to Investigate tho cost of maintain
ing q consolidated school and what the
tax levy for township for that purpose
would have to be- 1t is thought that
the levy would not be very much, If
any, larger per township, for the con-
solidated school than 1t would for the
independent schools. 1t is said that
the only objection that has been raised
to the plan has to do with the ques-
ton of the cost Of maintenance.
When this committee reports, at a
meeting which will probably be held
next week, 1t is likely that at that time
arrangements will be made to call
special election. II the consolidation
carries it will require that a new school
be built in ClenAons.
