From Council Bluff. to Treynor.

Council Bluffs, July l1.--The Iowa &
Omaha Short Line Railway Company,
which operates a line of road between
Treynor and Council Bluffs, was placed
in the hands of receiver by Judge
Wheeler in district court Thursday.
August F. Dammrow, cashier of the
Treynor Savings Bank and one of the
bondholders of the road. was appoint
ed receiver. AT one time he was pres
ident of the read
The action throwing the road into
receivership was taken upon appli-
cation of John j. Spindler and August
F. Dammrom. trustees Of the property,
acting under instructions from ten
Treynor citizens who are among the
heaviest bondholders of the line.
The action was based upon the fail
urc of the company to pay the prin-
cipal and interest on outstanding bonds
which were issued in 1909 to insure the
construction OF the road. 1t is alleged
that $175,000 worth Of these bonds are
past due. and that neither the prin-
cipal nor the interest thereon has been
paid.
Under the terms of a trust deed en-
tered into when the bonds We're issued,
all of the assets Of the road were given
into the hands Of two trustees to in
sure the payment of the bonds. 1t was
expressly provided in the deed that
should any default in payment of prin-
cipal or interest be made, the road
should go into a receivers hands.

For some time past. according to the
petition filed Thursday, the road has
rapidly depreciating in value. The APP
plea ton for a receiver was made to
protect the interests of the bondhold-
ers and others who have claims against
the property.
Several of the Treynorites who
asked that a receiver be appointed are
among the most loyal hackers of the
dollars In financing its construction
and operation. Some of them recently
mortgaged their large realty hold
,ings near Treynor to keep the road

Who will not say that in some Of the
high schools OF the state they are really
educating hesyoung folks? In the ex-
animation ofspapers for teachers GER
tificates, work which came to close
today at the department. Of public in
struction, the papers submitted show
that a girl who had not before
taken the teachers examination, high
school student of Burlington, made
record Of 100 per cent, or perfect, in
five of the studies on which she was
examined. Her lowest mark was 80.
The state food and dairy department
has found that great deal of the ice
cream offered for sale in Iowa this year
is of poor quality and low in butter fat.
The state law fixes a standard below
which it must not fall The ice cream
manufacturers tried to get the standard
lowered. or permission to make poorer
ice cream in the ice cream season, but
failed. They claim that it is practically
impossible to supply the trade with high
grade ice cream. The department has
been going after the poor ice cream
and trying to compel the keeping up of
the standard.
Examiners Of county accounts have
gone to work in Mills, Clayton, Monroe,
Decatur and some other counties Of the

make examination Of county a1airs as

These examiners, unlike the ordinary
county examiner hired to go over the
books, will not stop with mere examina-
ton Of the ledgers to see II the accounts
balance and count of the cash to see
If the bookkeeping has been good, but
they WILL make reports on the cost Of
supplies, on the prices paid for bridges,
on the expenditures in different depart
ments, and on the extent to which the
tax collections are made.
Not all of the examiners have gone to
work as yet. but when they do there
will be at least eight counties under
examination at a time and the entire
state can be examined in three or four
months time.
Attorney J. c. Mitchell. OF Ottumwa,
and other lawyers have been frequent
visitors at the state law library recently
and it is evident that great effort is
being made to find presidents for the
courts of Iowa to declare that a millage
tax is equivalent of a debt or charge
against the general revenues of the
state. The case before Judge Hunter at
Ottumwa to prevent the state from i'm
posing a millage tax will be heard next
week The case for the state has been
largely prepared by Attorney General
Robbins. Mr.. Cosson will have person
al charge Of the case. 1t is not expected,
of course. that the merits of the con-
troversy will be very largely entered
into on the preliminary inquiry of
the court In the meantime the state
