DISTRICT TAKES IN SEVENTEEN COUNTIES Among Prominent Speakers Will Be Chaneellor Craig of Drake Uni- versity and Prof. Loeck- hart of Des Mo The convention of the Christian church of the southwest district of lowa ‘opened last evening fn Council Bluffs and continues over Thursday. The district comprises these countles: Iiarrison, Shelby, Aubudon, Guthrie, Pottawattamie, Cass, Adalr, Union, Adams, Montgomery, Mill Taylor, Ringgold, Decatur and Clark. On account of the national convention of the church being held in Omaha this sum- mer the attendance st the district conven- tion here will, it 1s sald, not be as large as jotherwise. The local committee had been advised that the attendance would be 600, fbut this is belleved to be greatly exagger- sted. Rev. W. B. Crewdson, pastor of the First Christian chuch in this city, in which the sessions will be held, is of the opinion #bat including ministers most of whom will be accompanied by thelr wives, and dele- gates, the number of visitors will not ex- ceed 150 to 200, but the committee is pre- pared to take care ‘of all who may come. Among the prominent speakers who will attend mre: Chancellor W. B. Oraig of Drake upiversity, Des Molnes; Prof. Clinton Lockhart of Des Moines; Rev. T. J. Dow, pastor of the East Side Christlan church In Des Moines. Special music has been pre- pared by the choir under the direction of Dr. R. 0.

DES MOINES, May 26.—(Speclal)— Preparations are being made here for the formation of a considecable party of Des Moines people to go to Quincy, Mass(, some time next month to attend the launching of the protected crulser Des Moines, now under construction in a shipyard there. The work on the crulser {s reported to be well along to the point of completion. The date for the launching was fixed for last Thanksglving day and Governor Shaw ap- pointed a young woman of this city to do the chistening act with the bottle, but there was delay In the comstruction and then the time fixed was some time in Jan- uary. But the launching hae not yet been accomplished. The original delay was over the procuring of a speclal brand of bolts or rivets, many thousand of which were to be used In putting on the light sheathing. What has caused other delays is not known here, but the bullders of the boat have sent word that they are nearly ready for: the launching. It Is expected that Governor Cummine and his staft will go, also Mayor Brenton of Des Moines and a party of city officfals, and there will be a delegation of the Iowa contingent in Washington to go to Quincy on that occasion. Those who have Investigated the matter say that the crulser is being finished in the finest pose sible manner and Des Moines will be an addition to the navy of which the city and the naval authorties may well be proud It is to cost a little over $1,000,000. After | the launching it will be several months be- fore it is ready for commission. State Institution Improvements. The State Board of Control has decided upon the expenditure this biennial of about $456,000 for permanent improvements, chiefly building, at the several state insti- tution. The bill giving the board an ap- propriation for the biennial period pro- vided that only a part should be avallable for a third term for recorder, or to I. H. Taggert for supervisor.

D., May 26.—(Special Telegram.)—A sult for damages in the sum of $5,000 will grow out of the arrest a few | days ago of John T. Struble, cashier of | the Vienna bank, on instructions from Hans J. Eggen, the president of the bank. R. W. Parliman, an attorney of this city, who has been engaged by Cashier Struble to institute the damage suit, gives the following account of the trouble, which will prove of interest in view of the prom- inence of the men concerned. “The trouble is of long standing. There are two factlons i the bank. At the head of one is Cashier Struble. At the head of the other is Hans Eggen, the president, The bank has been run by the cashier. The trouble finally reached & point that the Struble faction offered to buy or sell. “Last Wednesday Struble had occasion to go to Egan to confer with some of the stockholders of -the bank, and during his absence he placed John Taylor, a director, in charge, This angered Eggen and be tele- phoned the sheriff of Kingsbury county to arrest Struble at Lake Preston. “This was done. Struble wired for me to come up to Lake Preston, which I did, and accompanied him back to Vienna, where a hearing was held before a justice of the peace and where Eggen withdrew the com- plaint against Struble and in open court admitted that he had no grounds for mak- ing the charges against Struble and having him arrested. The papers in the damage suit will pe served the fore part of the coming week. Articles of Incorporation.

City Survey All Awry. Engineer McNutt and an assistant of this city has been engaged the past two weeks running new grade and street lineé in the clty of Winterset, and they report a curfous condition of affalrs. The city was surveyed many years nd has been bullt up slowly, but the street lines do not follow the original plat except in a few instances. Some of the leading streets which have been occupled and used, along which good residences have been built a long time, are as much as ten feet out of their true location. If the city is to be surveyed and the new survey accepted as In accord with the plats many houses and barns will Lave to be moved, sidewalks changed about and doubtless a great deal of litigation will follow. The discovery is causing a great deal of indignation in Winterset. Towa Swamp Land Indemnity. Attorney Evans of this city, formerly in the United States land-office, is in Washing- ton to urge upon congress the pa of a bill introduced in the house by Lacey into the senate by Dolllver, providing for a settlement of the indemnity claims of cer- tain counties In lowa and other states on account of alleged swamp lands erroneously disposed of by the government. All this swamp land was given to Iowa and by Towa to the countles and sold. A number of Towa counties claimed indemnity because much land that was in fact swamp land wi not so surveyed or ported and these counties a half century ago got nearly $500,000 from the United States on this claim. Now a similar claim is made on behalf of many counties in northern lowa, aggregating nearly as much and last winter the Towa legisiature passed a. concurrent resolution requesting the Iowa delegation to favor the bill mentioned. The countles bave no direct interest in the claim now, as it is entirely In the hands of speculators. Towa MecKinley Memori, Governor A. B, Cummins has undertaken to raise some additional money from lowa for the McKinley monument fund. At the time the national assoclation for that pur- pose was organized Governor Shaw ap- pointed a committee to look after the mat- ter' for Jowa but a number of persons set out to raise funds for the proposed memo- rial arch in Washington. There was con- flict between the two and as a result but very little was accomplished. Before the close of Governor Shaw's term the matter was entirely dropped. Governor Cummins is now taking it up and appealing to per- sonal friends all over the state by letter to form committees and solicit funds to be added to the Iowa contribution. About $1,500 was collected in various ways from the state and forwarded to Cleveland, mostly through the postmasters of the I It s hoped that about $10,000 will be secured from lowa. The Washington memorial arch movement has been aban- doned, leaving the fleld clear for the pro- posed monument at Canton in honor of the dead president. Governor Cummins was the Towa member of the national committee that managed McKinley's first campaign, and he was a great sdmirer of McKinley, thus eptering upon the work with great zeal and personal interes lowa Geologie vey.

LONDON, May 26.—The deep Importance attached here to the friendship of the United States could not better be exemplified than by the unusually sincere expressions pub- lished in the London press of regret at the death of Lord Pauncefote, the British am- bassador at Washington, and the high eulo- glums of his career in the United States. The papers this morning vie with each other in paying tribute to the inestimable value of Lord Pauncefote’s work to the émpire in the difficult position, which, as the Daily Chronicle réfninds {ts readers, is now the most exacting In the diplomatic service and quite different from the time when the Lord Stratford de Radcliffe described the Washington legation as “very plensant so- clally, but not requiring any very great talents politically." Naturally the occasion leads to the re- viewing of the varlous thorny questions Lord Paunctefote had to deal with and some little resentment is still displayed over the manner in which Lord Sackville West, Brit- lsh minister at Washington from 1881 to 1888, was dismissed. But these allusions are only made to emphasize the credit due Lord Pauncefote for the good relations now existing between Great Britain and the United States. The Chronicle says: ““He will be remem- bered as the first and best ambassador dhat this or any other country accredited to the great republie.” . The Standard eays: “Perhaps the most eloquent form of praie Lord Pauncefote can take Is to observe that the relations between Great Britain and the United States are 8o smooth that it may appear ungra- clous to the memories of the time when they were troubled.” The Daily Telegraph says: “It 1s not too much to say that the last of the great ambassadors has disappeared. Lord Paunce- fote will always be remembered as the pio- neer of the gupreme pact of perpetual friendship between Great Britain and Ames fca which will some day be accomplished All the morning papers publish loag © blegrams containing the opinions of Amer= ican_newspapers and statesmen concerning the dead ambassador and print portraits of Lord Pauncefote, sketches of his life, ete. Gratitude Is expressed to the United States for granting a state funeral to Lord Pauncefote, while the Daily Mail suggests that in view of the larger Interests now bound up in British relations with the United States the question may arise giv- ing tbe primacy to the Washington, instead of the Paris embassy, which has hitherto held the first place in the diplomatic heler- archy. FOR PAUNCEFOTE’S FUNERAL Wife Approves of Arrangements and Body to Rest in Rock Creek ' Cemetery. WASHINGTON, May 26.—With the excep- tion of a few detalls the arrangements for the funeral.services over the remains of Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, Lady Pauncefote sig- nified her approval of the arrangements tentatively iade yesterday, by which ser- vices are "tdgbe theld Wednesday noon at St. John's Episcopal church, after which the body is to be temporarily deposited in a recelving vault at Rock Creek cemetery. A military. escort is to be provided by the government fo attend the funeral, which is to Be of a state character. Numbers of meseages of condolence from all over the world were received at the embassy today, but they were not made public. TO CO-OPERATE WITH FARMERS Walter Vrooman Pushes Concern to Dispose of Grain and Eliminate Middlemen's Profits. KANSAS CITY, May 26.—Walter Vroo- man of the Western Co-operative move- ment has closed contracts for the purchase of six of the largest wheat elevators in the' Kansas wheat belt and two of the largest flouring mills. The price pald is sald to have been $750,000, and Mr. Vrooman, who has left for New York to complete the financial end of the plan, says the present purchase is but the beginning of a move- ment to center the farm of Kansas In a co-operative branch of the Vrooman Co- operative company. The concern will be known as the Wheat and Flour Western Co-operative company. STOCK MARKET IS PUZZLING Perplexing and Uncertain, Owing to Oom- bination-of Oonflicting Oiroumstances. LARGE CAPITALISTS ARE OPTIMISTIC Exert Powerful Influence for Promo« tion of Higher Prices that Cannot Be Igno No Decided Move Pending. NEW YORK, May 26.—(Speclal)—The barking house of Henry Clews & Co. s Long distance views of the stock market just now are exceedingly perplexing and uncertain, owing to the unusual combina- tion of lflll"lf‘l* clrcumstanc Amo the, large capighliste there 1s a distine optimistic tone, and, as they exert a markably powertul control aver price are vitally Interested in promoting a highe market, this influence cannot be Iguored, although crop uncertainties and suspicions that Insiders are anxious to lightei their loads effectually discourage the develops ment of a large outside support. Between these various Influences there Is no oc- casion at the moment (o look for any de- cided movements in either direction. 'I'here little or nothing In the situation to war- rant expectations of any important reac- tlon; nor is there basis yet for any genuine upward movement, except through artifi- clal means or some radical change not yet anticipated. On the other hand, there are enough interests at work to warrant con- siderable trading, and the opportunities for profit In stocks bought and sold with discretion are likely to be numerous, Every week brings out new rallroad deals of consequence, all a part of the great con- centrati movement which we have re- peatedly alluded to as being one of the most important anderlying features of strength in the stock market. The appar- ehtly unreasonably high prices at which some rallroad securities are selling are en- tirely due to these movements; good earn- ings and Increased dividends long over-discounted. . Insiders are, of course, fully aware of ‘these possibilities; their Stocks are withdrawn or held far above present market vajue, and the scant floating supply leaves prices at the mercy of a new class of speculators, the bold operators who make a dash for this stock aving been apd then for another, compelling timid ners to DUy &t extravagant prices through fear of losing control. Needless to eay, movements of this sort are ex- ceedl: y unsettling, and trading in such stocks on margin {s highly dangerous in spite of the excellent character of the se- curlty. Chicago & Northwestern is a strik- Ing example of this tendency. Less than a month ago it old at 271, and reports were that it was golng considerably higher, owing to the consolidation movement in the Vanderbilt properties, a movement that is_extremely slow, but nevertheless con- ered inevitable.' This week Northwest- n has been selling about 20, a decline of 2 points within & month in one of the most substantial stocks for than ‘the one just referred to. Similar cases could be clted if needed. This segre- gation of American railroad systems, in Which Messrs. Gould and Harriman ' are now taking an active part, will be an im- portant factor in the market for months to come. Buch transactions are likely to pro- voke ' rivalries, not always conducive to Jeace in the dtock market; and It scems mprobable that the various systems can be unified without Inviting more or less friction in the final divisions of territory. Mr. Gould's Intention of connecting his southwestern roads wth the Atlantic sea- board, which will soon be an accomplis fact in spite of the opposition of Penns: vania, is a speck on-the horizon that will bear watching. Mr. Gould does not seem to be included In the community-of-interest lans, and with his power over.rates in the ar west, as well as southwest, his opera- tions and_extensions have a_special inter- est. 8o, while the movement toward con- centration means ultimate stability to rall- no other reason The farmers are to be taken into the scheme upon the payment of §100 each, for which they are to receive the market value ot their wheat sold to the company and in addition will receive one-half of the profit derived, the other half going to co-opera- tive stores through which the wheat and flour will be handled. “The plan,” sald Mr. Vrooman, “is to eliminate wheat speculators and the middle man. The farmers are in earnest sympathy with the movement. It is the only way to head off the talked-of flour trust that is forming in New York. It is intended to ship to Great Britain, 0ld among the co-operative members the surplus product not disposed of in Kansas and Missouri. MORE TROUBEE_FOR PACKERS Five Hu, d Union Teamsters Strike and Serious Tieup is Imminent. CHICAGO, May 26.—Five hundred union teamsters erhployed in the delivery of meat by the big packers went on strike at mid- night tonight for a substantial increase in wages and for shorter hours. As a result of the strike the men say no meat will be delivered to retail dealers to- morrow or at railroad stations for ship- ment out of the city. The strikers claim that they have re- celved urances of the support from the other labor organizations whose members are employed at the stockyards, and that any attempt by the packers to fill their places with nonunion teamsters will result in & general tieup of the packing houses For the last two weeks the union throughs number of committees has been making an effort to gain concessions from the man- agers of the different firms. In every ca they claim they have been denied confer- ences and at a meeting tonight it was 4 cided to strike in an effort to force the packers to CLOSE | Conclusion of South Carol tlon Given to South City. CHARLESTON, 8. C., May 26.—Saturday, 31, closing day of the South Carolins state and West Indian expesition, will be celebrated as “Chbarleston day. Great preparations are being made for its observance the rallroads will make the lowest rate granted for the occasion. m S CHARLESTON DAY road investments, the progress of such plans s not likely to be always smooth: and there need be no surprise if occastonal disturbances occur in the local struggles tor supremacy. Railroad destinies, it should be remembered, are now in the hands of glants, who are alive to the consequences of disagreement, and fortunately they are largely dominat by a resolute master- hand whose constant policy is harmony. The immediate situation is chiefly con- trolied by the strike. An early solution of this difficulty would help the market, but at this writing it looks as If no settlem was in sight_until after a further trial o endurance. Both sides to the controversy maintain a silence as to the maln points at issue, which renders it difficult to ar, rive at the real merits of the dispute. The demands of the miners are for genvr pay d_shorter hours. The accumulation of fabulous fortunes, iargely through specula- tons, together with the rewards of Jegit- mate enterprise and ability, naturally stim- ulates the desire for better conditions in the ranks of labor; where the fact that thése big capftalists usually pluck the larger share of their fortunes from the smaller capitalists rather than from the laborer is generally overlooked. On the other hand, in the case of the coal strike, the operators very naturally feel that this @ question of whether the unlon or the owners are to be masters. So long as this is the issue there {s but one position for the operators to take, and that is to fignt it out to a successtul fi Whether recognition of the union Is an issue or not is not made puablic, but here also is a point which the unions must some day concede. Responsibility must go hand in hand with power. At present the unfons exert tremendous power and practically no Tesponsibility. Contracts with them have no binding force, and redress for violation is _impossible. The unwillingness, there- fore, of the unions to take on the . cor- porate form and assume responsibility is an element of weakness in thelr cause which only they can rectify, Very likely {hle I an lasue which will play a part in 8. The outeome ru { vital Interest to the nfavorable issue would probably depress other o b p. than the coal e ‘monetary situation shows furt tmprovement. Moo much Importance can. not be attached to the ald received from London last week. It shows in a most emphatic manner that the strain at the chief point of tension for months past has been relieved: that London Is able to lend and will not be forced to borrow. As Lon- don would have come here for help In case of necessity, the removal of that con- tingency 1s of the highest Importance to the American money market. The crop situation certainly shows improvement hence the strike {s the only impediment to & more active market. Excellent trading opportunities will be in evidence for some time to come.

As for weeks past the m: ket is still indebted to the bank by over £2,000000, while the slow government dis- | bursements render the repayment of this indebtedness dificult. While the announce- ment_of peace is expected to hasten the full resumption of work in the Rand it is likely that the industrial requirements of the reconstruction period in Bouth Africa will absorb quite as much cash as the mines produce in gold for the remainder of the present year, there is consequently little prospect for easier money unless gold comes from the continent.
