PIayqrounds plan Defeated.

Cedar Rapids. March "a great
majority OF the voters of Cedar Rap
ids yesterday were supremely indif-
ferent whether the school spends
money for new schools and play
grounds, or not: they didn't take the
trouble to go to the polls. But those
who did go to the polls spoke In no
terms against the further in
crease Of school taxes, and especially
for such extremely modern ideas as
social center work in cities Of this
size. The social center or playground
proposition-it went by both names
was defeated by vote of three to one
and the proposition to enlarge and inn
prove the Harrison school was defeated
by a vote Of two to one.

Aberdeen. is in the county jail. follow
ing a frustrated elopement. 1t is al
legged that Splitter had arranged to run
away with the 1~4-year-old daughter OF
Christopher Rehfeld, q well known
farmer neal Rudolph.
The arrangement between the two
was that Splitter wa to swing a Ian
tern at some distance from he house!
The girl, when she saw the signal, was
to display a lamp in the window as a
sign that all was ready; hen she was
to slip from the house and join Spit
Ter and the two were to leave the coun-
try.
The girls parents, in some manner,
became aware of the plot, and had Of
hcers on hand to arrest Splitter when
the girl Joined him. Splitter evidently
suspected the presence Of the officers,
however, and when the signal was
gwen and answered, the posse that had
gathered made a rush for the field
where Splitter was waiting, but he had
disappeared.
An all night search resulted in his
arrest at 5 o'clock the next morning,
Attempted abduction, and possibly
charges OF a more serious nature, will
be preferred against Splitter.

Eumes the estate left amounts to sl5Z,-
$50. The wife is left $50, 900 and, as her
exemption to tax on that is $4,000 un-
der the law, she eventually pays 800
In inheritance tax. A child receives NO.
900, with exemption on 10000 and pays
$50 as tax. An adopted child receives
SIS, 900. exemption $4,000, and $40 tax

ceives $4,000. exemption s., 1000. and pays

rectors of the company, former GOV
G. N. Herried. G. N. Harris, Col,

capitalists, have decided to ask otner
Aberdeen business men to help snare
the burden of maintaining the pubic
service corporation until h patronage
reaches a point where 1t will meet ex-
penses and return a profit. Accordingly
a temporary receiver will be asked Tor
the corporation, but the street car ser

erdeen citizens to take stock IN the
company and wait for better times Tor
their dividends.
The value of the franchise, under
