THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY CURRENT COUNCIL BLUFFS. CONMERCIAL CLUB ANNUAL Temporary Officers Expected to Be Ohosen for a Full Year Term. SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS TO COME U Committeen Chatrge of the Club's Work to Be - Named by the Presis dent. The first annual meeting of the recently organized Commercial club will be held | Wednesday evening in the city council | chamber. In addition to the election of officers and an executive committee, a num- ber of important matters will come before the meeting. to name at this meeting the twelve stand- ing committees. The officers who were elected January 30 to hold office until the regular annual meet- ing were: President, Victor E. Bender; vice presidents, Chris Jensen, W. H. Kim- ball; secretary, M. F. Rohrer: treasurer, Ernest E. Hart. These comprise the ex- ecutive committee: H. W. Binder, H. A Quinn, F. R. Davis, H. H. VanBrunt and C W. McDonald. As the members of this committee have a number of matters al- ready in hand upon which they have been | working since the organization of the club, no change in the personnel of the executive | be- committee ‘i& looked for. It is also lleved that the present cfficers will all be re-elected. The committees to be named by Presl- dent« Bender are: Transportation, manu- factures, trade extension, rallroad extens sion, retall trade, municipal legislation, county and state legislation, roads and streets, public parks, entertainment, griev- ances and finance. It is the opinion of many of the members that a committee on advertising should also be named and this will probably be done. One ot be brought up at this meeting is that of trade excursions and the formation of a manufacturers’ and jobbers' assoclation. The executive committee has received as- surance from the Western Passenger as- soclation -that reduced rates will be given for such excursions within a certain radius of Counell Bluffs. The committee. is plan- ning on bringing about one of these excur- slons within a few weeks. Louis Zurmuehlen, jr., who was employe1 by the club to solicit members and collect the entrance fees add first quarter's dues, ‘will make his report through Secretary Roh- rer. It is estimated that the club will have about 350 members in good standing. The tlubrooms in the Woodbury building are ready for occupancy and are nicely furnished. Owing to the expected large at tendance at the annual meeting Wednes- day night it was thought best to hold it in the city council chamber. Gravel roofing. A. H.

(From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, Ia., March 1.—(Speclal.)— | In Grand Army circles it is learned that a | spirited contest has already been started in Towa over question of opening the | doors of the ofganization for admission ot persons other than those who actually served in the war of the rebellion. This was started by a statement credited to De- | partment Commander Joba Lindt of Coun- cil Bluffs, in which he was quoted as in- timating that it would be well to enlarge | the membership. This suggestion promptly aroused the resentment of many of the members and the first post to give it recog- nition was Post No. 1 in Davenport. This Dpost, of which Past Department Commander Metzgar is a member, adopted a resolution reciting the preamble to the constitution of the Grand Army of the Republic and in- structing the delegates of the post to the department encampment to stand firmly for no change in that preamble. The en- campment meets in Cedar Rapids in May. It is known that a considerable element in the organization favors admitting the Sons | of Veterans on a qualified membership, while others favor admitting those wbo have been connected with other military organizations and those who have fought in the Philippines. But the matter cannot be put through the encampment without a fight and the post at Davenport ealls upon all the members to oppose any change in | the organization. It those who favor open- | ing the door insist upon their stand they | will have a warm fight in the encampment. Judges Don’t All Get Increase. Not all of the district judges of Towa bave as yet been benefited by the increase of salary prévided for by the late legisia- ture. It was provided merely that the pay | of all district judges ehould be $3500 a | year, instead of $2,500, but the constitution | torbids any increase in pay during the term for which a judge is elected. Four of the judges were serving by appointment and they were electad for short terms in No- { vember and immediately began to get the | increase of wages. Four others hold over | until the close of this year. They are Judges Clyde, Macy, Baille and Withrow, and this four cannot get the increased pay until after the expiration of their present terms | and their re-election. This will be at the close of this year. All others are now get- ting tht increase. Shriners to Go to Sloux City. Arrangements are being made for a big pligrimage of Za-Ga-Ziz, Temple of Shrin- ers, to Sioux City May 12, when Governor Cummins will accompany the*Shriners, and there will bo a meeting of several hundred in northwestern Iowa. Ex-Senator Allen in Tow: Willlam V. Allen of Madison, Neb., 's spending a few days in Des Moines. While here he had an informal.confererce. with members of the Jowa regiment of which he was a member. He met with Colonel Eber- hart, who was colonel of the regiment, and Adjutant W. L. Carpenter, formerly mayor of Des Moines; also with Colonel Scott, who was lleutenant colonel of the regiment. Senator Allen. is here with W. S. Collins ot Basin, Wyo., and they are interested in the ofl wells there, having samples of the ofl with them. Towa Manufactures. The lowa commission on the Louisiana | Purchase exposition will meet this week to dispose of many matters Which should be started thus early. Among other tHings | it will be determined how much will be | given to the different departments for the special exhibits. A determined effort will be made to provide that a liberal appro- priation shall be made for securing an exhibit of Iowa manufacturing industries at the exposition. It is regarded as certain that the agricultural, horticultural and similar interests will be represented with- out much trouble, but a special effort will be necessary to secure an exhibit of manu- factures. To the end that the commis- i sion may have before it some evidence of the extent to which Towa industry has been developed Secretary Conaway has secured from State Labor Commissioner Brigham an informal list of the things made in Towa, novelties largely, that should be | represented. In the list are the following: Harps, powder, felt shoes, cutlery, gun- stocks, band cutters, altars, feather dus- ters, locks, pear] buttons, cream separators, | refrigerators, well machines, condensed milk, pipe organs, slelgh bells, engines, desks, woolen goods, flax tow, wall paper, spice, gloves, macaroni, rubber tires, | wooden shoes, garden and farm tools, wheels, paints, boxcar loaders, thresher teeth, stump pullers, paper caskets, feather dusters, typewriters, ranges and stoves, pertumes and stucco goods. Information on Vagraney, Secretary John Hay has written a letter to Governor Cummins transmitting a pe- | cullar request from Mexico. The secretary | of state says he has received a letter from | the Mexican ambassador asking for infor- | mation as to the laws in the several states of the union regarding vagrancy and es- pecially with regard to the “rules govern- | ing contracts with persons or corporations that desire to utilize the labor of vagrants.” Secretary Hay asks the governor of Iowa it he has any printed matter touching on | this subject to forward to Washington fnri the benefit of the Mexican ambassador. | Inasmuch as the state of Iowa has very | little legislation on the subject of vagrants and just now the state is not troubled with vagrancy, the information obtained here will be meager. Well at Hospital, A mew deep well fof the State jpsane hospital at Mount Pleasant has just been | completed and the State Board of Control has received & report thereon. The report shows that the well is down 1,203 feet and that the drill went through the stratum of St. Peter sandstone 100 feet thick, water being found in the stratum. This water 1s much better than in the old well of the hospital. A test of the well shows that it gave up 100,000 gallons of water a day without diminishing appreciably the water in the old well only 100 feet away. Judge Robfison states that the new well will make it certain the hospital will always have abundant water. Two years ago the city water supply falled and the one well st the hospital came near going dry. The new well will be used as soon s & pump can be secured. urance Reports Received.

Andy Johnson, colored, was shot and killed by B, F. Cun- ningham, They live in the same house and had a quarrel over various matters, including cer- tain repairs of the house. Johnson became engaged and threatened to kill Cunning- ham. The latter got a revolver and pre- pared to defend himself. Both men have wives of color opposite to themselves. Cun- ningham's colored wife threw her arms around his neck and implored him mot to shoot, but he reached over her shoulder and shot Johnson dead. Cunniggham says he was atraid Johnson would kill him.

POPE DISREGARDS DOCTOR Meets and Chats with Ca Room Where Predec: Die als in ROME, March 1.-Dr. Lapponi, the pope's physician, made this morning a last effort to induce his holiness to renounce his re- ception of the cardinals. He remonstrated with the pope, saying: “Your holiness, my duty is to point out that your health would greatly benefit by your resting today."” The pope replied: My dear doctor, be- fore your valuable advice comes my duty, which I shall perform until the en The audience was held in the pope's pri- vate library and Leo XIIL spuke continu- ously for half an hour with the forty-two cardinals present. No address was deliv- ered and the most important words were when the pontiff referred with émphasis to his advanced age and approachiing end. He was led to speak thereof fn reminding the cardinals that the room in which he was receiving them was the same in which Plus IX. held his last consistory, he being present, but in bed. The cardinals greeted this reference to the possible approach of death with a chorus of noes and with exclamations of “We have all come to wish you a long lite." By this time the excitement of the re- ception had improved Pope Leo's appear- ance. When he entered the library his form was bowed and trembling, but he now seemed to have acquired strength and animation. He showed the cardinals a magnificent antique. clock which had just been presented to him by the Count of | Caserta, the head of the Naples branch of the Bourbon family. Before his retirement he presented to each cardinal present a richly illuminated pamphlet, reviewing the chief events in his pontificate, including a Latin poem of his own composition and five of his most important encyclicals. His holiness said: “I will order that the few cardinals absent, like Cardinal Gib- bons, alsp have it."” SEVENTEEN DAYS Newfoundland . Expresy.

PETERSBURG, Feb. 28, (via Eydt- kubnen, German Frontier, March 1.)—Some publicists are of opinion that only the sternest language toward Turkey can pres vent war with Russia In the spring. They believe the porte will pursue bands of Macedonian revolutionists across the Bul- garian frontier and that public opinion will compel Russia to interfere The czar thoroughly understands that a war with Turkey will be more serious than that of 1878. Officers are quoted as saying that the Turkish army is the best in the world owing to its German organization and armament. There is an inclination here to anticipate German financial support of Turkey and, in view of the situation, fore- bodings of a clash are freely expressed in private, although they are carefully sup- pressed in the papers.
