The local lodges of the Kniglhts of Pythlas L e to secure the meeting of the state grand lodge of the order for this year for Council Bluffs, the Trades and Labor as- sembly is anxious to corral the meeting of the State Federation of Labor for next year for Council Blufts and the Dodge Light Guards are working hard to secure the necessary funds with which to bulld an armory. To all of these propositions the Commercial club will be asked this week to lend its assistance and give its co-opera- tion. The Dodge Light Guards want to erect an armory which will be at least 100 feet square. Such a bullding, exclusive of the i|lot, would, it {s estimated, cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. The members of the company are satisfled that they can- not raise this sum alone and they realize '+ | that unless the citizens of Council Bluffs come to their assistance the company will be disbanded. It has been suggested that & mass meeting be called under the auspices of the Commerclal club to meet at the opera house or In some other public hall and the matter be laid before the people by prominent speakers in an effort to se- cure subscriptions to the stock necessary to carry the enterprise through. The delegates from the Trades and Labor eration of Labor at Davenport, in May, belleve that with a proper showing being made Councfl Bluffs would stand an ex- cellent chance of securing the meeting for 1904. The Commercial ofub will be asked to co-operate and It has been suggested that Commissioner Loomis accompany the delegates to Davenport and as the officlal representative of the Commercial club in- vite the State Federation to hold its meet- ing in 1804 in Council Bluffs. To secure the meeting of the Towa grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the encamp- ment of the uniform rank this summer for Council Bluffs it would be necessary to raise about $1,000 and provide camping The local lodges and the uniform rank company will ask the Commercial t them in guaranteeing this position to invite the meeting here. It s estimated that the meeting of the grand lodge and {ts auxillary bodles, together | with the encampment of the uniformed rank would bring in the neighborhood of 3,000 visitors to the city for the greater part of a week.

The crusade against the Sunday theater | culminatsd last night In something more | than talk when the eleven members of the | Younger Brothers Bank Robber compuny | were arrested on the charge of breach of | the Sabbath by performing other than ! necessary labor on that day. The manager | of the company, John B. Dell, put up bonds in the sym of 350 each and the theatrical people were released from custody. The hearing was set for Tuesday. Some time ago the Women's Christian INTEREST FROM Temperance unfon and a number of the ministers of the city started a crusade against Sunday performances at the theater, but up to last night nothing more than talk resulted. At 10 o'clock last evening Mrs. Clara E, Brown and Bertha M. Johnston went before Justice Ouren and swore to the complaint and a warrant was put into the hands of Constable Alberta, who served it immediately after the close of the per- formance. While the complainants and their friends object to the Sunday theater in general, they have a particular objection to this company, or rather the play which it presents, as being demoralizing morally. The company had intended to leave this morning for Beatrice, Neb., where it was billed for an appearance, but during the evening the manager received a telegram that the performance had been interdicted on the ground that it was of a character to demoralize those who attended, Body of M & Man Fou FORT DODGE, Ia, March 29.—(Special Telegram.)—The body of H.

PROUTY WINS SECOND ROUND fitory Oounty Primaries Result in a Viotory for His Friends VALUABLE CITY LAND IN CONTROVERSY State Ofcials Making an Effort to Get at Actual Lan Values for Parpose of Making Tax Levy. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 29.—(Special)—W. P. Fitchpatrick of Neyada, Story county, will be selected as the new member of the republican state central committee for the Seventh district at the time of the state convention. The republican county conven- tion was held in Story county yesterday and the delegates to the state convention will be selected from that county by Fitch- patrick for the purpose of furthering his candidacy for the position. He was given this privilege by almost unanimous vote. He will succeed J. D. Whisenand of this county, who a short time arn suddenly withdrew from the race. Fitchpatrick is & strong friend of Judge 8. F. Prouty of this clty, candidate for congress, and the Story county convention was in full control of the Prouty men in that county as against those who are for Captain Hull for con- gress. The county committee was orga- nized with twenty-for Prouty and five for Hull. The convention also indorsed the candidacy of Cummins for governor. Cap- tain W. M. Greeley was renominated for member of the legislature and delegates se- lected to a sénatorial convention which will nominate Senator Erickson of Boone for the senate. In this county the republican committes was last evening organized by the friends of Judge Prouty and ome of his especial champlons was selected for chairman. Cap- tain Hull is booked for a speech before the republican club in this city one evening next week, when he will discuss the “Towa idea” and the tarift question and mako plain his position on various matters. It is regarded as a part’of the congressional campaign which has already been under way some time in preparation for next et Wants Part of & River. Application has been made to the state executive councll by George W. Brown for a lease of nearly forty acres of land which les within the eity of Des Moines, but i between the meandered lines of the Des Motnes river according to the first govern- ment survey. Mr. Brown has been a squate ter on this land for five years and claims that he is entitled to ownership of the same. He has been trying for some time to secure a title to the land from the state in some manner, but has been refused, and he now desires to lease the same until the title can be settled. The land fs becoming quite valuable, as it is in & part of the olty where the manufactories are located. The members of the council are in great doubt as to the status of this land. The Des Molnes river was originally declared to be a navigable stream and the lines of the river were meandered, sa that the title to the land between the lines fell to the state as & whole. Later it was found that the navigation of the river wasnot feasible and the status of the changed. It s not known whether {hb/title vests in the state now or whether this act gave the riverbed to the abutting property owners in case of accretions, . Until this 1s settled | Mr. Brown will remain merely as a squat- ter on the land, but he ‘can engage in ex- tensive farming operations. Getting at Land Values. County auditors of Mills and Clayton county have made complaint to the state officials that the plan proposed for secur- ing information as to the land values in Towa is not reliable, and thé state executive council has directed the secretary to ask v auditors shall include land sales for the entire year 1902 as well s« | statements. They are to report actual land sales and the assessment on the same pleces of land. The councl will thus have before it the information as to how as ments compare with actual land sales in the different parts of the state. It is the intention of the council to try to secure a complete assessment and valuation in ac- cordance with the law. The auditors of the two counties named complained that it only a half year was taken it would not be fair, as the better class of lands are sold the first half of the year. Inguiry on Teachers’ Wages., Prof. Thomas Nicholson of Cornell col- iege, who is chalrman of the committee of the State Educational council appointed to report on the question of tearhers' sala- ries and the social conditions rurrounding teachers in Towa, has started out on & plan which it is belleved will bring excellent results and enable the committee to make a report this year that will be of vast benefit.

Some time last summer a package of $2,000 was sent from the Des Moines bank to the bank at Irwin and when it arrived there was no money found. The bank at Irwin held the express company reeponsible, but the express company claimed the package was delivered exactly as 1t had been received. The bank had re- ported that there was no sign of the seals being broken. But the jury decided the express company was responsible. This re- leves the employes of the Des Moines Na- tional bank, who had rested under sus- piclon. RELIANCE CREW IS JEALOUS Refuses to Allow Comstitutioh Sea- .men to Sit in Photo- sraph. BRISTOL, R.

WYOMING MEN FILE PROTEST Claim Government Has Wi Too Much Land from Settlement. CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 20.—(Special.) all of the irrigable government lands along the North Platte river between the mouth of the Sweetwater and the Nebraska line has aroused the peo- ple along the valley of that stream. The land has been withheld from settlement under the provisions of the recent irriga- tion bill and will doubtless remaln so until the Devil's Gate reservoir has been com- pleted. In all, 750,000 acres have thus been reserved and all development under private enterprise will be stopped unless definite surveys are made at an early date defining the lands to be reclaimed under this pro- Ject. Many along the Sweetwater river hold that while the reservoir surveyed by Cap- tain Chittenden may impound a large vol- ume of water, yet the stream will not furnish water for the irrigation of more than 30,000 acres. To withdraw from entry 750,000 acres of land when only 30,000 can be Irrigated, the people along the Platte claim 1s unwarranted, and the matter is to be brought to the attention of government officlals at once.
