lnehs For Discussion.

Brought to a realiza ton that many
Of the taxpayers of the CITY feel that
the administration is too expensive, a
move was started by the adhqinistra-
tion this afternoon TO draw up ii sun
stitute budget which would proVle1e
for a % mill tax rate rather than
that of % mills which was recon-
mended by the board of finance and
taxation and passed by the council.
No Attack On Teachers Pay.
While all admit that the education
al features Of the budget should not be
cut, there are many who feel that
other items can he cut down material
ly without any loss to the city. The
Taxpayers association has gone on
record as raVoring, and not opposing
in the least, any items on the budEat
that will affect the increase in sal
aries of the school teachers. Like
wise, the new budget being prepared
as d last hope" by the administration
will not attempt to cut any items
that will necessitate the reduction Of
tea achers' salaries or prevent them
from obtaining their admittedly earn
ed increases.
Searle Opposes Cuts.
Mayor G.. A. Quigley and
f. A. Searle of the finance board
have been in session most of the
afternoon, going over the original
budget. Mr.. Searle spoke in opposi
ton to any plan to cut out any items
on the budget, preferring to let it
stand as at present with a IS mill
tax rate.
May Ask Adjournment.
While nothing definite had been
decided at press time. the mayor an
nounced that in case this new budget
is prepared, it will not be submitted
to the city meeting unless it appears
to be absolutely necessary. Even
should the citizens. at tomorrow
nights meeting. voice great opposi-
ton to the 23 mill tax rate it is
possible that an emergency budget
would not be presented. Instead, the
mayor and board Of finance might
ask an adjournment Of the coty meet |
ing in order that they might go over
the estimates again very carefully |
and make such cuts MS would least |
affect the efficiency Of the administra- |
ton.

Mayor Opposes Cuts Too.
In discussing the above possibili- !!
ties, the mayor said he wanted il

sonally favor the % mill tax and feels
that the 25 mill tax is necessary. He |
IS merely mentioning the possibility |
OF cutting it to % mills as preferable |

a. m. today. a large automobile was
standing at Fifth and Bluff streets.
seemingly awaiting it's arrival. Two
police officers, in the shadow Of a
nearby building. also seemed to be
waiting the arrival Of the trains from
the east. re
Scarcely had the wheels ceased to
revoive when a man Jumped off the
rear coach and with the assistance OF
another man on the platform handed
down two obviously heavy suit cases.
The man on the ground hurriedly
placed one suitcase in the auto and
went back for the other. Now the
officers came forward. took possession
Of the suitcases and the man, and also
the driver of the auto. The third
man disappeared in the coach OF the
train.
At the police station few min
utes later, as may be surmised the
suitcases were found to contain a
large amount Of liquor. The men
were booked as H. f. McManus and
Harry Williams. and were 'charged
with illegal transportation of liquor.
McManus procured 800 to cover bail
for each and the men were released
until hearing can be had before Judge
BirdSall.

answer. The crime which he committed
evidently would look like the deed of
an insane man, but from other occur
ences that are reported TO have taken
place at the time OF his crime 1t shows
that his mind was working. For in
stance a man. one Of the first on the
scene OF the murder, stated that Hos
kins owed him for some corn and re-
fused the payment and said he would
settle for il or did settle then and
there. Again, Hoskins killed his step
children. His own children were in
the same room and were struck with
the club which had been DETECTED from
it's course before it fell upon their
skulls, which goes to show that he dis
covered that they were his children be-
fore the club landed squarely. He did
not miss his stepchildren with the
club but he did his own children. The
general belief seems 10 be that Hos
kins. who was known to have a violent
temper. let II get away with him and
murdered those with whom he had
been quarreling. His actions since the
crime do not brand him insane. He re-
members dates, trips. old neighbors,
etc. His face shows plainly that he is
under a terrible strain but as yet he
shows very little concern OF his crime,
County Attorney A. Ray Maxwell,
Of Adams county, has asked Judge =.
c. Winter, Of the district court. to call
a special session Of the grand jury.
The coroner's jury found that the three
members Of Hoskins' family, Mrs. John
r. Hoskins, Gladys Campbell. her
daughter, and Roy Campbell, her sor.
came to their death at the hands Of
John r. Hoskins who murdered them
with a club and that said deed was
premedtated. Proceedings will start
after the grand jury brings in its re-
port.

AckLEY's MUNICIPAL BONDS.
Wore They lslued Without Full
Authority 10 Question,

Ackley, Jan. l5-Are they good. and
if they are good, what are they good
for? This Is the question that is agitat-
ing the minds not only OF the members
Of the town council, and Mayor Brenni-
man, but of the several parties who
are holding some $4,000 in bonds that
were issued at the time OF the con-
struct!on Of the municipal heat, cleo
trio light and power plant in Ackley
several years ago.
The late unpleasantness" in Ackley
resurrected another matter that had
been peacefully sleeping and which.
except for certain other matters OF
contention. would have been permitted
to snooze away. but IN order to satisfy
themselves as to their actual position
and as to the actual condition Of pub
lie affairs, particularly as il applied to
the towns pocketbook, the matter was
referred to experts to decide Ly
thorough examination Of the records.
To this end two "sleuths," experts as
accountants and ferrets. Messrs. Pei
sen and Welch of Eldora-famed thru
ont the state as taxferrets-*ere en-
ployed. The bonds were issued in good
faith, but according TO the experts
opinion, without authority. and in ex-
cess Of the limit Of indebtedness.
Some of these bonds are now due;
the interest Is payable. The bonds are
held by home people and none wants
to sec anyone lose anything The coun-
Gil will meet in special session tonight
TO give consideration to the matter and
there Is a possibility that some f-=sn

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain 5itro Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tons and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
of making thin people feshy, develop
ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines of health and beauty there
are evidently thousands of men and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is- nothing that will supply this
deficiency so we'll as the organic phos-
phata known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate. which Is inexpensive and
is sold by Mcbride & VIII in Marshall

quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness. sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom OF
perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties. be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh.
