DEFINITE STEP TAKEN
TO REVISE CITY CHARTER

(Conttnued from rage One)
mission composed OF one member
from each ward and three at
large. under the provision of the
home rule act, so-called. OF 1909.
II your honorable body should
conclude to adopt this method,
you must proceed by appropriate
resolution to provide for holding q
primary at which charter commits
sioners may be. nominated; also
provide for holding a subsequent
election at which the charter COM
missioners may be elected.
I am not able to even remote.
ly guess the length of time It
would take to make q general re-
vision of the charter and secure
It's adoption.
2. Section 81 OF Article 8 Of
the constitution was amended at
the recent election so as to re-
quire the legislature to pass a gen
eral law whereby cities can
amend their charters.
The legislature may be prevail
ed upon TO pass such a law at It's
session in January next and give
II immediate effect.
II this Is done, the city char
ter, as IL exists, may be amend
ed In any particular which may
be proposed by your honorable
body or by the people upon an In
itiatory petition. Such amend
ment could be voted upon at the
general election to be held in
April 1918.
In this communication I have
assumed that the vote taken upon
a revision Of the charter and up
on the institutional amendment
carried.

FIVE YEAR OLD
Boys LEG
GUT OFF

Carl Beck, ftve-year-old son OF
Mrs. Matilda Beck, a widow liv-
ing at 1907 South 18th street,
lies at the Fannie Paddock hospi-
tai In a serious condition today
as the result of street car acci-
dent last evening. It was found
necessary to amputate his right
leg last night.
The child had come from a
soda fountain near South 18th
and K streets, and was playing
about the front of car which
was unloading passengers. When
the car started he was thrown un-
derneath the wheels and his leg
crushed. Aside from this injury,
he sustains two ugly wounds on
the head.
His nurse at the hospital says
today he will probably live in
spite of the fact that he passed a
very bad night.

Waterloo. July 12.-what ails the
15-year-old son Of julius Willmore?
This question confronts the medical
fraternity Of Waterloo and will attract
the attention Of physicians and sur
geons outside the city. For two weeks
the boys has been afflicted with pc
hysteria, during which he writhes in
apparent agony, screams at the top of
his voice and calls pitifully for his
mother, who has been with him con-
stantly. These attacks occur every two
or three days and last almost a whole
day at a time.
Just what is responsible for these
spells can not be determined by the
physicians who have attended the boy.
nor can they state what sort Of dis
ease has fastened upon him. He was
taken to the Presbyterian hospital for
treatment and placed in a ward. His
terrible cries made his removal to a
separate room necessary and there he
became so violent that the hospital SUI
perintendent had to reject the case
because of the disturbance to other
patients He is now at the home Of
his parents, 325 Kicker street, where
seven brothers and sisters reside. The
regularity of the disease has attracted
the attention Of the medical men who
are attending the convention Of the
Cedar Valley Medical Association.
Two weeks ago the boy was robust:
today he is a mere skeleton.

A large percentage Of those who win
