The years which these young people have spent in completing the prescribed course | of study is of little avail if it has not taught them the great lesson of service. | To Jlearn to obey Implicitly, to erve the | years of apprenticeship, o perform the task, however humble it may be, are prin- ciples which cannot be inculcated by the rule of thres or by prsing the most com- plicated sentence. If T were asked to point to the most pernicious trait in American life of today I should unhesitatingly say the unwillingness to serve. Young men hes- itate to accept subordinate positions, or, | having taken them, fret and slight thelé r higher or more desirable position. Young women rush into employment or into mat- rimony with equal lack of preparation and end inevitably in failure in each. The ord “servant has disappeared completely from our vocabulary. We need to have it restored; each to acknowledge that he is a servant to the work appointed for him; a servant to his brother, & servant to his fellows and a servant to the state.

PROTEST ON ASSESSMENTS Commereial Club of the O La: fon Farm Are Valued Too | Low, A committee from the Councll Commercial club consisting of H. W. Binder, F. J. Day, Emmet Tinley, C. W. McDonald and A. D. Annis appeared before the County Board of Supervisors yester- day to protest ngainst what the Commer- clal club regards as a discrimination against | Council Blufts in the matter of the equal- ization of values as the basis of taxation. On Wednesday the board had equalized | the values of farm lands in the county, | fixing the average value per acre in the several townships at from $40 to $88. The values as reported by the assessors ranged | from $4 to %0, so that a considerable | ralse—approximately $10 an acre in most of | the townships—had been decided upon by | the supervisors. This, however, was not satisfactory to property owners in Council Bluffs, as rep- resented by the Commercial club, and the protest of yesterday followed. The com- | mittee represented to the board that a comparison of actual sales of city property and agricultural lands in the county the past year would show that while nearly all farm lands passed at nearly double the figures fixed for the assessment, city prop- erty in many Instances barely passed at the figures on which the assessment was | based. They claimed to the board that | this state of facts warranted a still greater | raise in the values of farm lands, so that this class of property would bear its duc proportion of the taxes along with the city property. The members of the com- | mittee insisted that city property is being assessed at its real value and that in justice the agricultural lands also ought to be so assessed. No action was taken on the matter, but the board appeared to feel inclined to dis- regard the protest of the Commercial club, claiming that there was much land in the | county that was really not worth nearly | 80 much as shown by the equalized figures. | Taking good and bad land all into con- sideration, the board seemed to think that | 1t had struck fair averages for the several Blufts RIDAY, JUNE &5 1903 NEW LINE OF ND FANCY BELT PINS.

The protesting committee in- sisted, however, that lands that have been and are selling at from $76 to $100 an acre ought to be assessed at something like | those figures in order that there shall be | no discrimination against the owners of city property. In equalizing the values of lands within Incorporated towns the board made but one change from the figures reported by the assessors. That was in the case of Carson, where a b per cent Increase was ordered. The board had before it yesterday the { first bill rendered by the state for the ex- pense of boarding dipsomaniacs at the state insane asylum during thelr confine- ment and treatment. This bill was for $56.60 for the board of three patients for varying periods. The board voted to allow | the bill and charge it to the Insane fund. Many of the countles of the state have tten into disputes with the state offi- Among the clalms allowed by the board were bills amounting to $130 bounty for wolt scalps. There are pending before the board bills to the amount of $01.72 on account of smallpox cases. These bills were hung up pending investigation. Crewdson Called to Atlantie. Rev. W. B. Crewdson, who has been pastor of the Christian church in this city ly three years, has received a call torate of the Christian church. at Atlantic, Ia., and it is understood that he will ltkely accept. It been announced at Atlantic that he has already accepted the call, but this is not admitted by Mr. Crewdson. On Monday evening Mr. Crewd- son was at Atlantic and preached to the congregation there and conferred with the people about becoming thelr pastor. Rev. J. H. McSparren, who has been the pastor at Atlantic, has gone to Idaho. In addition to the ca]l from Atlantic Mr. Crewdson has also received a call to re- turn to Corning, Ia., where he was pastor of the Christian church for five yeara he- fore coming to Council Blufts. The board of the Council Bluffs church has recom- mended to the congregation that Mr. Crewdson be retalned here for another year. Ball Schedule Not Satisfactor: Buck Keith and his boys are at Lemars. Repairs to Broadway. Cards were issued from the headquarters of the Coupcll Bluffs Commercial club yes- terday to the members of the committes on streets and roads of the organization | calling & meeting of that committee. No time has yet been fixed for the meeting, but it 1s the desire to have it at an early date and this was left in the hands of the chairman of the committee, H. G. McGee. The object of the meeting is to toke up the question of the improvenent of West Broadway. The plan now in confempla- tion is for the members of the committes to meet with the members of the eity coun- eil and the county supervisors, who are| now In session here, and see if some! scheme for the improvement of the thor- oughfare cannot be devised. At the timi this street was lald with siag six years ago both ‘the city and the county contributed funds for the improvement and an effort will likely be made to arrive at some such arrangement again. Marries Former Parl Rev. Homer P. Dudley, pastor of the Broadway Methodist church from 1888 to 18%, now pastor of the Methodist church at Nevada, Ia., and Miss Bertha L.

Cannot Teach Common Sense. The useful education should be many sided. It ought to reflect possibilities on every side of it. No course of study can give a man common sense. If education makes a man afraid of soliing his hands, of engaging In useful work because it is beneath his dignity, if it makes him hold himself aloof from his fellows, if it makes him selfish, arrogant or impractical, it was because these tendencies were inbred and education cannot correct them. The owl's feathers of wisdom cannot hide the long ears of the ass beneath Nor can learning make a man honest. Some of the greatest criminals have bees educated men, and, therefore, more dan- gerous. Inheritance and home fraining can- not be counteracted by the best teachers that ever blessed a class room. We expect too much of the schools if we demand that they make the world honest.

ROCK ISLAND STILL OWNS THE MORTGAGE b Bight Thousand Dellars Raised fo Flood Suffe but This is Not Half the Amount Required. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Ia, June 4—(Speclal)— The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Des Molnes & Fort Dodge Rallroad company was held in this city today in the office of Carroll Wright, president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific company. As had been anticipated the meeting de- veloped that the actual control of the stock has passed from the control of the Rock Isiand interests. Last year two di- rectors were elected who were not of the Rock Island crowd, and today three others were elected. The new men on the board are R. F. Vail, Nobart Helnsheimer and Lawrence D. Pigrson, all of New York City. They take the place of John I. Dille, C. N. Gilmore and E. 8. Finkbine, all of this city, who are Rock Island people. The new men on the board represent the firm of brokers, Edwin F. Hooley & Co., New York, which company hes been gath- ering in the stock. There are #,000 shares of common stock, about 7,000 of preferred. The latter is guaranteefl 7 per cent, but the common stock never has paid any dividend and was regarded as practically worthless. The Rock Island owns bonds on the road of about $2,800,00 and these mature at the time of the expiration of the Rook Island lease of the road, January 1 mext. It Is understood that the holders of the common stock who have now secured control of, the property want 50 cents on the dollar, for their stock. It Is & question whether the Rock Island will pay it or let the| control go and collect on its preferred stock and the bonds. In case the Rock Island chooses to not buy the stock held by the Hooleys it is stated that the Rock Tsland will parallel the Fort Dodge road from Gowrle to Des Moines with & new line | and run into Fort Dodge over the Min- | neapolls line. The election of officers will | occur in New York June 11, and there | will be a special meeting of stockholders | in New York in July. Within the next six | months the matter of final control will be | settled. i Ralsing Fun | The people of Des Moines have already | raised a fund of about 35,00 for use of | the charity committees in caring for the sufterers from the floods and it is stated that about $2,00 will be required. The, work of rebuilding the broken dykes has been commenced and owners of valuable property are preparing to prevent any pos- | sible repetition of the flood damage. The | latest reckoning of damage places it at much less than the early estimates. Bec- retary Greene of the State Hortioultural society has compiled the reports on con- dition of fruit fo: June 1.
