IN ORDER Commencement week for the senlor clase of the High school beghn yesterday morn- ing, when the class, accompanied by the faculty, attended the Broadway Methodist church to listen to the baccalaureate ser- mon, preached by the paetor, Rev. W. J. Calfee, whose subject w Ideals and Pur- poses, taking his text from First Kings, vill, 18-19, and Danfel, i, 8 saying in part: Ideals rule the world by ruling the indi- vidual with high fdeals and lofty purposes. David traveled from the sheperd's fold to a throne and from the tending of a few eep_to the ruling of a nation. 1t is & mistaken notion that to be ambitious is 1o be selfish and wicked. It depends much upon the character of the ambition, but there s less fear of fallure for anyone with & overmastering ambition than for him has no aim at all in life. We admire the man or woman With an a consunMng purpose, even though we some- times question the worth and character of the purpose itself. The men and women of the hour are those who have missions. Success in life depends, not so much on opportunity, as on readiness to grasp the opportunity What you ought to do you can do. If you succeed in life it will not be because the way 18 smoothed for you, but because you are ready to grasp your epportunities Young people, you will not realize much on your ambitions or your ideals. As you step out Into the world of actlon you will elbow others from their places. Oh, how thick we are at lower end of the ladder. 1 do not say this to discourage you. There is an ambition which you can realize. 1f your ambition is to lead a right life, in the great beyond. If not here on earin, your ambition will be realized in the mold of character, Today, Tuesddy and Wednesday will be devoted to the final examinations. Wednes- day evening the senlors will be tendered a reception by the juniors at Royal Arcanum hall. -Thursday evening the graduating exercises will be held in the auditorium of the High school, when Dr. A.

'RIVAL RAILROAD BUILDING Haste to Enter Negleoted Territory in Bouthwestern Iowa by Two Companies. DES MOINES ROBBERS UNSUCCESSFUL State Hospital at Cherokee W Be Delayed in the Opening—FPeculiar Allment of Young Lady—I ance Companies and Taxes. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 2.—(Special.)—Rail- road bullding operations to the southwest of Des Molnes e becoming Interesting just now. Apparently there ia a race on between rival interests and just what com- panies are back of these interests remains to the people unsolved mystery. Tha engineers ot the Des Molnes Southwestern rallroad started out last week to run the survey over agaln for final location of the line between Greenfleld and Winterset, some changes being made necessary by the platting of an addition to Winterset and on account of right-of-way troubles. The engineers and agents have been engaged busily for the last two months on the line and there now seems no reasonable doubt about the bullding of the road, at least between Winterset and Greenfleld. Whether it will be built from Winterset to a con- ~| nection wigh the Great Western or the Keokuk & Western south of Des Molnes, s not known. At the same time much work is being done on the electric line from Creston to Winterset, Th's s the com- pany headed by Lyman Waterman of Omaba. About four miles of the grading of the road has been completed north from Creston. The last week an agree- ment was entered into with the residents of Maeksburg by which they agree to give a bonus of $2,500 and to vote a § per cent tax in ald of the electric rallroad. Sur- veyors are engaged in running a shorter line to Macksburg than that originally sur- veyed. Agents of this company are also looking forward to an entry into Winter- set on the most favorable terms. Arrange- ments have been made to secure power temporarily trom the Creston electric light plant while the trolley line is being bullt. There is some belief that the big railroad companies are back of the two projects, but the promoters insist ethey are inde- pendent concerns thus far. As both lines are reaching into a territory needing rail- road facilities more than any other im the stats the people are giving them a good ‘welcome. Highwaymen Folled by Bookkeeper. An unknown man lies at a hospital In this eity suffering from a bullet wound in the abdomen which may prove fatal, in- fiicted by a plucky bookkeeper who refused to be held up at midnight. Jacob Shuer- man, bookkeeper at the Capital City Wool- en mills, was engaged on his books during the night, expecting to take a train at 2:30 this morning. He finished his work about midnight and started to go to the depot from the mills. As he left the fac- tory a man confronted him with a revolver and ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of doing so he shot the highway- man. The wounded man refused to reveal his identity. Delay in Hospital Opening. It Is now announced at the office of the Board of Control that the new state hos- pital at Cherokee will hardly be ready for the opening July 1 as planned. Superin- tendent Voldeng has been there in per- sonal charge several months and the work on the state farm was well organized and commenced at the beginning of the crop yel bwe the contractors have not fin- ished their work on the buildin, The contract on the main building will be fin- ished in a few weeks, but the plumbers and those who are completing the interior have not yet finished. There has been no great increase in the number of patients at the three other state hospitals for the insane, 80 that there will be no trouble from the delay. Insurance Companies and lowa.

DES MOINES, Ia., June 2.—Two persons were badly hurt and several slightly brulsed in a wreck on the Chicago & North- western at Otls, seven miles from Cedar Rapids, at 1 o'clock this morning Westbound passenger train No. 1 was on the siding waiting for eastbound No, 6 to pass. The head brakeman on No. 1 threw the ewitch before the eastbound train was clear, derailing the last sleeper and hurling it against the engine of No. 1. Eight of the people in the sleeper at the time were severely bruisd up, but only five received injuries of any consequence, and only two were seriously hurt. The seriously injured are: Dr. G. D. Cook of San Francisco, enroute to Hamburg, Germany. C. Serefzhjobsky, noted Russian scholar from Kazon college, Russla, returning home from a trip around the world. Both are badly bruised and cut on the head and face from broken glass, but will recover. The damage done to the two tralns was but slight. Getting Ready for Fair. SHENANDOAH, Ta., June 2.—(Special.)— The Board of Directors of the Shenandoah Falr association met last evening and re- vised the premium list and ordered certain limprovements to be made at the fair grounds. The date selected for the falr this year is August 12 to 15 inclusive. The speed ring will b8 materially strengthened, increased premiume will be offered and a new amphitheater will be bullt. The new one will have a seating capacity of nearly double the old one and will be just south of the old one. A number of horsemen are now here getting their animals in shape for the fall fairs, the circuit of which in this part of the state opens with the Shenandoah meeting. WILL TRY TO ARBITRATE CASE Peace Makers D to Intervene With Packers in Behalf of Teamsters. CHICAGO, June 2.—Success having at- tended the efforts of Franklin MacVeagh president of the Natlonal Civic federation in his intercession with the Union Traction company on behalf of the street car em- ployes the differences of the striking stock yards teamsters are to be taken up in the me fashion. At a meeting of the Fed- eration of Labor tonight it was decided that an appeal should be made to James H. Eckels, president of the Commercial Na- tional bank, to take up the teamsters' cause with packers, Mr. Eckels is a member of the industrial commission of the National Civic federation. The appeal will be made tomorrow. The strikers gucceeded today in getting more than 125 recruits to their ranks and the tie-up of the delivery of meat tomor- row will be almost complete. The new members of the union come from the branch houses of the four big packing firms. Since the strike was insugurated the packers have been shipping meat by the carload to these branches aand then distributing it by wagons to their customers. With the men unionized, this outlet has been cut off from the packers, and if any delivery of meat shall be made tomorrow it will bave to be made by non-union men. Up to the present the packers have been un- wble to Induce outsiders to take tthe place of the strikers. The executive committee of the Packers' assoclation held a secret conference today, but refused to make the object of the meet- ing public. Another meeting will be held tomorrow. Some conciliatory action on the part of the packers is expected by the strikers. Under cover of the Sunday quiet the packers scored heavily on the striking teamsters and succeeded in filling all their ditor on fire Insurance business, just fs- sued, there were but nine new companles doing fire insurance business admitted to do business in lowa last year, and of these three were local mutuals. During the year 1901 the following companies withdrew from doing business in the state: Amer- tcan Fire Insurance company of New York, Balolse Fire Insurance company, United States branch, of New York; Caledonian Insurance company, United States branch, of Pennsylvania, Eagle Insurance company of New York, Erle Fire Ineurance company of New York, Helvetia Swiss In- ;}‘nu company, United States branch, of ‘W York; International Insurance com- pany of Néw York, Lancashire Insurance company, United States branch, of Iilinels; Lion Insurance company, United States branch, of Connecticut; Madgeburg Insur- ance company, United States branch, of New York; Merchants' Insurance company of New Jersey, Natlonal Assurance com- pany, United States branch, of Connecticut Netherlands Fire Insurance company, United St branch, of New York; North German Insurance company, United States branch, of Illinois; Pacific Fire Insurance company of New York, Transatlantic In- surance company, United States branch, of Illinols; United Fire Insurance company of Maryland. It was largely because of this large number of withdrawals of the agencles of forelgn companies that the law regarding fees and taxes was changed last winter and the forelgn companies doing business in Iowa were placed on the same Dbasis as domestic companfes. A number of the companles that withdrew in 1901 have commenced to come back Into the Towa fleld since the reduction in the license fee on business. The amount of fees pald into the Ineurance department by insurance companies other than life during 1901 was $48,207, an increase from $45,679 of the previous year. The taxes Ppald into the state treasury direct by in- surance companles also Increased, the amount in 1901 being §197,074 against $185,- 092 for the previous year. Congregational Chureh Convention. The annual convention of the Congrega- tional churches of lowa will be held at Des Moines this week commencing Tuesday. This is the sixty-third annual meeting of this convention. The attéendance may be between 300 and 400. Meetings will be held in the mew Plymouth church which is to be dedicated during the convention with an address by Dr. Bartlett of Chicago. The program for the convention is an ex- including addresses or papers by A. L. Frisble, Des Moines; C. H. Rogers, Mason City; E. 8. Hil, Atlantie; J. H. George, Chicago; P. H. Mason, Corning 6. L. S8mith, Newton; B. F. Cokelye, Perry; C. C. Warner, Monticello; C. P. Boardmen, distributing stations about town except those in the Fulton market. The move by the packers came unexpectedly. All was done quickly and quietly. The carloads of meat which have been standing on side- tracks were sent to the stations and un- loaded, ice was brought from the yards on the cai d by evening all was ready for tomorrow's business. The coup of the packers brings the strike to an acute {ssue. Up to the present the strikers have informed all who dared to get their meat from these companies that if such a course should be continued their fce supply would be cut off. With some of the distributing stations closed and others with an inadequatc eupply of meat, the butchers have been unwilling to take the risk and bhave let their meat reserve run low. Tbe pack claim this situation has been changed and that all the butchers in need of meat will come and get it. Ice and coal drivers seem to hold the key to the strike and to these the team- sters are turning for stance. None of the butchers have been completely cut off from Ice, but an attempt to bring this about will come tomorrow and with it will be started the strength of the strike. Should the ice.and coal men fail, sympa- thetic strikes may be called. THREE MEN ARE ARRESTED ‘ Trie Charged with Murder of Po re Finally Run Down. LA JARA, Colo., June 2—H. W.

PICTURE OF WAR OR PEACE Adomment for Jowa Oapitol Must Soon Be Selected by Commission, KNOTTY PROBLEMS IN DECORATION Commission Will Soon Be Named to Complete lowa's Capitol Bullding ~Interior to Correspond with (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 2.-—(Speclal.)—In a very short time the commission will be named that will undertake the completion of the Jowa capitol building and make of it all the way through as it now is on the exterior one of the finest bulldings in the world used for legisiative purposes. This commission will be composed of one who is not a republican and two who are re- publicans. Governor Cummins has not sl ways been fortunate in picking democrats, but will probably exercise unusual care this time to make certain that his nominee for the democratic position may not turn out to be a republican of recent acquisi- tion. One member of the commission will be an artist or an expert in decorative work, another will be either an architect or engineer and another is likely to be a plain, ordinary business man, who can fig- ure on contracts and see that accounts are kept straight. It is evident from the law that the legislature did not intend that the capitol commission should personally supervise the work of finishing the capitol. In fact the work might as well have been left to the execitive council. The positions will be honorary only, and the chief work of the commission will be to decide on the character of the decorations and the letting of contracts for work. The legls- lature provided for only nominal pay for the time put in, so that the members of the commission will be men who will enter upon the work with a desire to do the state some great good rather than to make a profit out of it. First Problem One of the first great problems before the commission will be that of deciding on the mural paintings for the grand corridor. The commission will be authorized to se- cure designs or suggestions and to pay for the same. What shall be the nature of to Face. LADIES CAN WEAR SHOES one wise smaller aiter using Allea's Fi hoes.

Shall the great panel at the head of the stairway be filled with a painting illustrating a battle scene or a civil scene, by an fillustration of some reality or an allegorical picture? This is a question that will come to the commis- sion almost as soon as it 1s appointed. Peter A, Dey of Towa City, the veteran engineer and builder, who had something to do with every stone placed in the great capitol building, recently talked with the writer about this work of the capitol com- mission. “I am greatly pleased with the law enacted by the last legislature,” said he. “It comes up fully to the expectations of the commission which prepared the plans for the completion of the capitol; in fact, the leglslature appropriated a lit- tle more than we asked for {o allow for contingencies. It appropriated all that can be spent with profit for each year and made an excellent division of the money to be used. I belleve that the commission to be named can complete the capitol with that appropriation and make it such a bullding was planned from the start. Provision is made for the expenditure of money to secure designs and suggestions for the fa- terior decoration. That is very necessary. The state capitol of Iowa ought to have the best that can be secured. The caphtol ought to be made beautiful inside as well as out. Does Not Favor War Plcture.’ “I think this bullding affords the be: opportunity in the world for decoration. Our commission’to prepare the plans visited & number of bulldings to get suggestions. In some of these everything s subordinated to the architectural plan and in few is there such decoration I think we should have in the Iowa capitol. I would certainly not favor a war plcture for the grand panel at the head of the stairway. The plcture should be something Iillustrating Iowa and typical of the state—I do not know what, but certainly not a scene of fighting. The suggestion of an {llustra- tion showing Gemeral Scott treating with the Indians and making the Black Hawk purchase appears to be a good one. Gen- eral Scott w a fine man. I remember well how he appeared and he would be a striking central figure for such a picture and the portraits of the Indlans could be got. But those are matters of detail for the commission to work out. I belleve, however, that the commission should go on the theory that nothing can be too good for that capitol.” Governor A. B. Cummins is also opposel most emphatically to & war picture in the large panel in the capitol. A picture il- lustrating the battle of Wilson's creek h been suggested, because so many lowa sol- dlers participated thereln forty years ago. 1s no battle that has been fought oh soll outside of Indian fights. But battle scenes are seldom eatisfa 1d Governor Cummins, speaking of this matter. “It ls impossible to make a pleture of a battle and gain any other ef- fect than that of & great clash and a cloud of smoke. Then it is impossible to get much detall into the picture, faces and forms are mot distinct; and besides there is always something, to me, incongruous in & picture of men in action. The at- tempt to put on canvas a scene represent- ing action seems impossible for me. This may not be art, but it is a feeling I have in regard to these matters. Besides there is no battle that can be pictured that would Allustrate Iowa. ould Be Typical of State . “My idea of the painting for that panel,” he continued, “would be some painting thut will illustrate and suggest the genius of lowa, some conception that would stand as typical of the state. It would not be for me to go Into details, that for the artists; but I conceive that something might be painted that would represent lowa as we know it and as we would have the world know it. 1 have always been greatly taken with thet splendid plcture which havgs on the capitol at Washington illustrating the thought of ‘Westward the Star of Empire Takes Its Way.' Some such picture to {llustrate lowa would be appropriate. “I shall regard this work of completing the capitol of Iowa as the incident of great- est importance in my administration. I am desirous that it shall be well done. Here we Fave a bullding I regard as perfect in its outward comstruction. It is an archi- tectural wonder. The more I contemplate it the more I am impressed with the wis- dom and good judgment of those Who planned it and wrought it out. Now we should have the interior made to corre- spond. The grand corridor should be made as fine in & decorative way as the entire building !s from an architectural stand- point. There should be grouped about the grand staircese and the corridor the finest decorative work that tbe art of the world can produce.
