THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1902. CURRENT NEWS OF JOWA. - COUNCIL BLUFFS. ELKS REMEMBER THE DEAD Large Attendance at New Theater at the | Annnal Ledge of Borrow. HON, HENRY VOLLMER DELIVERS ADDRESS Music Constitu A Large Portion of the Program, Which Elke Quartet and Miss Porter- field Take Part. One year ago the Elks of Council Bluffs Bad only the death of one member to mourn, but at yesterday's services they ‘were alled upon to pay tribute to the memory of three more, & total of four menfbers who have passed away since the lodge was organized three years ago. The . “lodge of morrow” held in New theater yosterday afternoon was well attended, the house belng almost flled 1o its capacity. The stage was banked with potted ferns and palms and the names of the four dead members whose memorits thelr brothers had assembled to pay trib- ute to were shown upon an flluminated tablet against a purple background. As the roll of the dead was read by Secretary Jacobs the lights were extinguished until the tablet became blank. The opening and closing ceremonies were according.to the ritual of the order. Dur- ing the exercises two anthems were ren- dered by the Blks' quartet, consisting of 1. M. Treynor, W., 8. Rigdon, C. P. Lewis and C. B. Altchison. Miss Lucille Porter- fleld sang “Crossing the Bar,” and I M Treynor rendered Deifoven's ‘‘Reces- sional.” The principal address was delivered by Hon. Henry Volimer, exalted ruler of the Davenport (Ia.) lodge of Elks. As an introduction to his address Mr. Vollmer recited in full Ingersoll's “Rhap- s0dy on Life,” and then drew a lesson from the downfgll'ofthe French monarchy to ehow that'in spite of the hollow old forms etill surviving, demacracy s regnant throughout the world. Continuing, he said i part: Lesson from Life. It 1s as balm to the heart on a memorial day like this to find that all good men, whatever be thelr creed, or If they have uo creed it all, ean stand together on the jrand humanitdrian ideas of our great or- der. "With the living memory of our be- loved dead present with us today, it is more than a consolation that we can again consecrate ourselves to triendship, charity, Justice and brotherly love. The observ- ahce of this annual day the statutes of our order, s worth more to our departed brothers than epitaphs cut in Parian marble or monuments on enduring i We cannot honor the memory of our de- arted brothers more than 4o make the est of thelr life a part of ours by warmly cherishing its memory. In speaking of the deal life, it is after il mot a question of the ideal itgelf 80 1auch as the way a man livés up to'it. On ene or the other of two ideals men have tormed themselves since first we find them together in soclety and 1 do not belleve it 10 be @ mere fanciful idea, but I believe there ls a large measure 'of truth in it when 1 saysthat on this day the true Elk jeems to be a disciple of both, since It 18 e, who blends the finest {nstincts of char- :xé - the lest, concepon of duty ose ter characteristies whic have gained him the reputation of being the prince of good fellows. The beneficent hand of our order is al- ways outstretched for the succor, of wretch- ¢« ness and aistrese and it proceeds upon the true principle of charity as laid down £y i master: The Tight “hand knoweth not what the leit hand doeth. Like an angel 01 mercy our order has entered many a nameless home and the beneficlaries do not know to this day who helped them in the hour of thelr distress. It is because of these mnoble, unselilsh 'principles that our order has grown in all the states and territories of this mighty nation as no other order of similar character has grown, and numbers in its membership governors, ators, congressmen and the higher offi: of ‘our army and mnavy. ‘@ look about us and faces are missing in the rarks of our brethren. As to those of our brotherhood who have passed to that country, from “‘whose bourne no trav- eler returns,” the ritual of our order con- talns the most appropriate expression of ur sentiments toward them: e write thelr faults upon the. sand, their virtues on the tablets of love and memory." Rev. George Edward Walk, rector of St. Paul's Bpiscopal church and chaplain of the lodge, took as the subject of his address “The World's Heritage of Sorrow,” saying 1n part: To the normal soul every condition in lite finds a wultable expression and every man acts Just right who faithtully performe the duties and discharges the obilgations which his particular state or eondition requires. As individuals and brotherhood we are blessed with seasons of prosperity: ihen n_there are visited upon us times of versity—of sorrow. 1f we be wise there are opportunities and blessings resultant from each of these conditions. While in the day of prosperity we should be jovful, we should In the day of sorrow consider. Con- sider what? Why the adaptation of the one condition to the other the system of Divine' Providence. We should remember that it is our Great Exalted Ruler who has set the one condition over against the other, so that even those circumstances in lfe which are evil In themselves are em- ployed to bring about His wise and bene- Volent purposes concerning the children of men. Af we hive learned the deep lessons of life aright they teach us that the altermation of joys and sorrows in human life s neces- sary to our soul's health. Adversity and gorrow are God's ministering angels and should never drive us to despair, mor to doubt the goodness of our Great Exalted Ruler. Neither should adversity and sor- row tempt us to assume a stoical indiffer- ence. There is no virtue in being insensible to the burden of life. Bibles Now Ready.

JOHN WALKER IS LIKELY TO GO FREE Searching for Bank Robbers—Compro- mising with Students—Ral Among Cattle~Winter Comes in lIowa. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. 7.—(Special)—A epecial committee of the lowa Vicksburg Park commission has just been named consisting of Messrs. J. F. Merry of Du- buque, L. C. Blanchard of Oskaloosa and H. H. Rood of Mount Vernon, to select a plan for the main monument to be erected on the battlefield at Vicksburg to the mem- ory of the Iowa soldiers who died there. The main monument will coat nearly $100,- 000 and it i the intention of the lowa people to build one of the finest soldiers' monuments ever erected on a battlefield The committee will soon make an extended tour east to consult with designers and to make a close study of monuments with a view to deciding on the general plan. Colored Man Not to Be Tried. 1t is now admitted by county officlals that there is little probability of the trial of John Walker, the colored man under indictment for the murder of Isaac Finkel- steln. Walker was Indicted with Harris Levich, the theory of the state being that Levich had hired Walker to make an as- sault on Finklestein because of some small business troubles between the two men, who were rivals in business. It is certain that Walker had been seen frequently around Levich's store and was seen there on the evening previous to the murder. It was also asserted that Levich and Walker had a consultation after the mur- der and before either one was arrested, but this was strongly denled on the trial of Levich. The fact that Levich, the prin- cipal In the case, was exonerated by the jury, leaves little to hope in the way of conviction of Walker, as It was conceded all along that the evidence againgt Le- vich was stronger than that against Walker. The county attorney has caused the case to be assigned, but admits it will be useless to try it. Walker has remained in jail all the time and has been very dis- creet in his talk. Clues to I1da County Robbery. The sheriff of Ida county fs stiTl at work on a number of clues declared to be sig- nificant in connection with the bank rob- bery at Arthur. The robbers appear to bave got away without leaving anything to indicate who they are. The sheriff has been following up some clues and insists that it s only a matter of a short time until he will cause some arrests in the case. It is generally belleved that the work was done by persons who live in that part of the state and that they were tamiliar with the use of drills and ex- plosives from having been miners. A heavy reward was offered for the ariust of the men who blew up the bank. Meat for State Institutio: The contract for meat for the state in- stitutions of Towa has Just been lot'for the coming quarter. The most of the pork and pork products and the heaviest con- tract of all goes to the Cudahys, while Morris, Swift and Armour get some of the beef contracts. No Iowa packing company secured any part of the contract. There bas been criticism in some of the lowa papers because of the fact that Iowa com- panies are not awarded contracts on this business and insinuations that the Board of Control has been unfair. The board lets all the contracts on open bids and to the lowest bldder, insisting only on the very best quality. The companies bidding are required to furnish samples and to sup- ply goods equal to the samples. Elks' Lodge Memorial. The annual memorial of the Elks' lodge was held this afternoon at the Auditorium. There have been two members of the Elks died the last year. The address was given by Edmund Nichols of Perry, soon to &0 on the district bench in the Fifth district. The eulogy of the deceased members wa: by Judge McHenry of this city.

Governor Cummins presided at one of the meetings and pald a high tribute to the leader of the Bllvltlr:n army. Early Winter in lowa. More than four inches of snow Is lying on the ground and the weather is rather colder than usual for this time of the year. The first sleighing of the year came from ten days to two weeks earlier than in former years, and there is every indication of steady winter weather. Reports from the state indicate that the snowfall of the last three days has been gemeral in the state and heavier in the northeast part than here. Compromising with Stu. An effort i{s being made at the lowa State university to compromise the diffi- culties with the students over the class rioting of a few weeks ago. The presi- dent made a formal proposition to the sophomore students that if they would ess themselves and pay $165 for the damage done to property the matter would be dropped, but the faculty reserved the right to expel any or all of those who were guilty of inciting the riots. The class made & sort of counter proposition, dis- claiming responsibility alone for all of the property loss. The matter has not yet reached a settlement, but the university faculty is desirous of having it disposed of, as the rioting has been the occasien of a great deal of sharp criticlsm in the state. Evidence of Rab twithstanding that rables seldom de- velop among live stock at this time of the yoar, Willlam Baskerville, who lives in Calboun county, has sent for the state veterinarian to examine the herd of cattle he has on his farm, from which two cows bave recently died from what appears to be rables.

STRIKE A BODY OF RICH ORE Selected Rock Reported to Assay Over Four Tho d Dellars to the Ton, CHEYENNE," Wyo., Dec. T.—(Special.)— One of the richest strikes ever made in outheast Wyoming is reported from the Silver Glance mine, in the Hartville dis- trict, where a three-foot load has been opened up which assays $4,328.60 to the ton in gold. The ore from which returns were received was selected rock, but it is said the veln matter is very rich, containing in addition to the gold about 15 per cent cop- per aud some silver.

Selected pleces of rock ram trom 56 to 69 per cent copper. The money derived from the sale of stock was used at once in development. The shaft is now down about seventy-five feet and one or two tunnels have been run. {KEEP OUT OF REMOVAL FIGHT Sloux Falls Members Have No Dewsire to Antagomize Senator Kittredge. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Dec. 7.—(Special.) —The people in this part of the state are taking keen interest in the efforts being made by partisans of Mitchell, Huron and Redfield to have the question of the re- location of the state capital submitted to the voters at the mext general election by the legislature which convenes at Plerre in January. While this (Minnehaha) county will have the largest representation of any county in the legislature, it is stated on good authority that the members from this county will not take an aggressive part in the capital re-location fight, but will remain neutral by dividing their votes, one-halt the members favoring the removal proposition and the other half opposing it. The determination to remain neutral arises from the fact that Senator Kittredge Is a resident of the county and as he will be elected at the coming session of the leg- islature to the full term in the United States senate commencing March 4 next, his friends here and elsewhere in the county have no desire to antagonize tho republicans from other sections of the state, who, while united in his support, are divided upon the proposition to re- submit the captial location question.
