Memorial services will bo held In the
Broadway 'Methodist ' church on Sunday
evening for the men who lost their lives
In the Havana tragedy. All of the churches
will take part , and the probability 1 ? that
thcru will be no evening services In any of
the other churches. The suggestion that
union serviced bo held was made to the
mlnlstcis yesterday afternoon , and when the
movement was once started It grew rapidly.
The Methodist church wan chosen because
It Is ono of the largest In the city and most
centrally located. In view of the fact that
two of the crew of the battleship were citi
zens of the city It was felt that such serv
ices v > ere especially applicable , and the de-
6lro Is that every church In the city shall
take part. One of the young men was a
Catholic and the other a Protestant , but
religious lines are obliterated by the feel
ings of common humanity and patriotism.
The movement was started by Rev. J. II.
Senseney , pastor of the First Methodlot
church. The program has not been com
pleted , but It will Include short addresses
by pastors and others. It Is also. Intended to
make the event express the sentiments of
the people of the city concerning the death
of Miss Wlllard. Special music will be pro
vided and the probability Is that the meet
ing will bo ono of the largest that has been
held In any church lu the city for many
years.
The military organizations of the city are
requested to attend In a body the memorial
services at the Broadway 'Methodist ' church
on Sunday evening.

The Woman's Christian association has
completed arrangements for building another
story en the rear part ot Its hospital In this
city and work will bo commenced as 00011

has Increased within the last few yeara to
such an extent that the present building Is
too small ! to accommodate all the patients
that wish to bo cared for. The association
Is In Ita fifteenth year ot active work , which
In the last few yeara has increased very
rapidly. A few Improvements have been
made each year as the funds \\ould permit
and the hospital now Is one of the most
completely equipped Institutions of Ito kind
. ' ! this port of the country.
When the organization first begun opera
tions It assumed a debt of $5,200 In two
mortgages. Payments were made on thla
debt each year and with the donation by
Mrs. Sarah Ballard of $30,000 ' property
and money , about $4,000 of which wco
available at the start , the debt WES entirely
wiped out. Last year , gas was put In all
over the building with the exception of the
third floor ; a large water tank was put la
and connected with the furnace to supply
hot water to the entire building and a porch
off the operating room was enclosed making
It Into a kitchen In connection with the
operating room.

The Palo of the printing establishment of
the Evening Globe , which was scheduled to
take place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock ,
was again postponed by agreement of the
creditors. The sale will now take place at
10 o'clock on 'Monday. ' The postponement
was mad ( | necessary by the failure of Judge
Thornoll to render his decision In the nmt-
: er of the claim uf the Campbell Printing
[ > i ess compcny , which flled an amended petl-
lion in Us suit In Intervention , claiming
that the ownership of the principal press
utH-'d In the establishment had not been re
linquished and was by agreement , to remain
n the company until the final payments were
made. The pi luting preen company had
neglected to record Its contract with the
3lcbe Publishing company , which would have
ended all difficulty In the matter. In Its
amended petition the company claimed to
have given verbal notification to the attor
ney for the landlord , who has seized the
plant for unpaid rent , that the press did not
belong to the Globe and was not a part of
Its assets , ThU vtas the point that Judge
Thornell was called to pass upon. Until It
Is settled the tltlo that will bo given by the
receiver at the sale will not bo perfect.

I.ocnl Mlacr * Look irltli Tnror on the
Mexican niilormto.
A great'deal of local Interest has been
taken In the reported discoveries of rich
gold njlncs In the Yaqul river country In
Mexico. A number of Council Bluffs men
have gone Into those fields , or attempted to
go Into them , and one man who went there
ten years ago In company with II. T. Bryant
lost his life at the hands of a Mexican In
dian. The Yaqul Indiana have most stub
bornly opposed the Invasions of the prcs-
pectora and have succeeded In keeping them
out , despite the assistance and protection
offered by the -Mexican government. Inter
est was revived by the receipt ot a consular
report from Washington yesterday written
by Charles W. Klmlrlck , consul at Cludad
Juarez , and dated January 25. The report
announces a treaty by the Mexican govern
ment with the Indians by which prospectors
are assured of admittance and protection.
Many extravagant stories have been told of
the existence of fabulously rich placer and
quartz mines In the Yaqul valley and the
Indians have long been known to have se
cured largo amounts of free gold from the
bars. The consul's report confirms to some
extent these rumors by stating that a vein
has been struck near Guaynopa , which runs
8,000 ounces of silver and 11,000 ounces of
gold to the ton. The report was discussed
with a great deal of Interest by the local
miners and there was strong talk of the or
ganization of a prospecting company and the
dispatch of men at once to the new gold
fields. 11. T. Bryant Is familiar with ths
country and assorts his opinion that the gold
finds there will exceed In richness those of
the Klondike. The altitude ot the country
makes 11 ono perpetual summer and miners
can work every day In the year. When
Bryant was chased out of there ho saw In
dians who were carrying around largo nug
gets of gold.

gram. ) The- board of control bill wns pre
sented In both houses this morning and or
dered printed. Almost Immediately after
Its presentation In the senate It received a
blnck eye. After the bill had been pre
sented and ordered printed , Funk , for the
ways and means committee , moved that It
bo flxcd as a special order for next Thurs
day , February 24. There was Instant oppo
sition to Itn consideration at so early a. date ,
and an amendment was ottered to change It
to ( March S , ono week later. Trewlti made
a vigorous speech for the later date and
the committee manifesting a disposition to
compromise , the matter was settled ou viva
voce vote In favor of March 3. The most
careful estimates of the standing of the
scnito Indicated that It Is very equally
divided and that there arc. enough doubtful
or unsettled votes to determine the result.
It la now suspected that the tactics of the
opposition will be to bring the measure up
In the house while the senate Is waiting for
the special orders date , and cither defcri
or so amend as to greatly weaken It. There
Is much uncertainty about 'the attitude of
the house. The Institutions , which hail ap
parently given up active opposition , seem
to have been getting their forces In line
very effectively ; at least , most of the mem
bers who have Institutions In their districts
arc found to bo opposed 'ta the measure.
.BUILDING . AMD iLOAN BILL. . *
The senate considered at length the buildIng -
Ing and loan bill. When the code was re
vised It was provided that thereafter , in
case of foreclosure under a. building and
loan contract , the flues , penalties , dues , pre
miums and Interest should not aggregate
In any case In excess of 12 per cent Interest
on the net amount of the loan. The build
ing and loan associations ask that this tie
made to apply to contracts before the now
law went Into effect aa well as to those
made since. The bill to this effect caused a
loud discussion , finally passing , 30 to 14.
Harrlman Introduced In the senate a bill
to establish a state board of agriculture to
consolidate the state fair , county fair as
sociations , dairy , veterinary , horticultural
and other related departments.
In the house the Vanllouten pure food bill
was discussed. It provided the Board ot
Hcallti may enforce regulations as to foods ,
medicines , etc. , sold in the etate ; that for
mula medicines , etc. , must be printed on
labels on packages. The druggists made a
flght against It , and after debate It was rr-
refen-ed to the committee on pharmacy. It
Is aimed at patent medicines.
At the aftercoon sessions the two houses
passed a bill to amend'the school laws re
lating to election of the directors In certain
districts. The sessions were held that this
might bo passed In time to apply to the
spring clectlon-i In school districts. It clears
up Rome uncertainties about the new code.
In some villages and towns there were either
three or six membdrs of school boards ; the
new law of last winter fixed all these boards
at five. The law passed today makes the
number five uniform for all towns , Incor
porated or unincorporated , and clears away
the uncertainty thfft" existed in many dis
tricts. The bill will"bo published and In
effect for all elections' this spring. The
house passed the Hathaway bill to protect
meandered lakes against the encroachments
ot land sharks who in recent years have
made fortunes buying ( tie lake beds , drainIng -
Ing them and selling the lands. It Imposes
a maximum penalty of $1,000 , or one year's
Imprisonment for dherslon of water from
any meandered lake through any unnatural
channel. The executive council is empowered
to destroy unnatural channels , and assess
twice the cost against the person who made
the drain. Where lake beds have become
dry through natural causes , the council may
sell the land to the highest bidder , prefer
ence being given to holders of adjoining
property.

SOLDIERS' HOME SCANDAL.
The Marshalltown Soldiers' Home has a
new scandal on Its hands. The trustees
have Investigated charges against C. B. McClure -
Clure , engineer at the home , and ordered his
discharge. The matter was examined Into
by a meeting of the trustees at Marshall town
a few dayd ago. IMcCluro was charged with
having disseminated stories of the out
rageous charges concerning licentious rela
tions between women employed and Inmates
of the home and men employed or living In
the Institutions. Seven wltresscs were ex
amined and testified to having heard McClure -
Cluro tell the stories. He admitted It and
said ho had been given the Information by
Commandant Itatekln. The trustees charge
that natekln was using McClure as a tool
to enable him to secure the discharge of the
matron of the home , so that Mrs. Hatckln
could be given the place. The trustees
ordered McClure discharged at once. The
stories were effectually disproved. An In
vestigation of the whole trouble by the
legislative committee on military Is curi
ously considered.
Governor Shaw this afternoon appointed
his family of oil Inspectors. Instead of a
chief Inspector with district deputies there
are now fourteen Inspectors with districts

Into each other In front of Hubbard station ,
completely demolishing four engines and
some leaded cars of grant , entailing a loss to
the company of OYW' ? M,000. The eastbound

The statement haijtbpsn glren cut that the
Ion a commissioners to the TransmiEslBslppI
Exposition have spent $4,000 of the $10,000
appropriated by the laet legislature. This
Is not true , says the Dos Molnes correspond
ent of the Marslialltown Times-Republican.
The commissioners have , It Is true , drawn
f 1.000 of the appropriation In order that they
might have ready funds with which to pre
pare exhibits of fruits , grains , graven , etc. ,
which had to bo prepared during the last
season , BO as to be rrady for the exposition
when It opens In Juno , The tommUalon ,
however , has expended but $2,028 of the
amount drawn , and with thU It IB to secure
fine exhibits In the departments referred to.
The commission has been economical and has
made good use ot Uio money. Those In
charge of the work have had large experi
ence In preparing exhibits and In the man
agement of expositions , as Governor Packard , j
Secretary Choeo and Mr. Mallory were mem-

bers of the Iowa commission to the World's
fair. Resolutions commending the exposition
and the effort being made to collect a cred
itable display of the state's resources aud
favoring a Judicious expenditure of such an
amount as may be necessary to make a
creditable exhibit of Iowa products were
adopted by the national democratic and re
publican state conventions last year.

On the night of tbc disaster Captain SUs-
bee requested Admiral Manterola to station
boats around the wreck so as to prevent
anyone from approaching It without official
leave. As a result only thcso with special
permits are allowed to get near the wreck.
Captain Slgsbeo himself , going In the early
morning to the scene of the disaster , was
wanned off , not being recognized , and was
obliged to return and get a formal permit
from the naval authorities.
Admiral Manterola refused to allow the
divers sent here by American newspapers
to make any Investigation near the wreck , at
leaftt until Captain Slgabeo"shall have fin
ished his official Investigation.
This morning Lieutenant Commander
Walnwrlght , Lieutenant Holman and Chief
Engineer How ell went with divers to search
for the bodies of Lieutenant Jenkins and
Assistant Engineer Mcrrltt , but the guards
would not allow them to make the search ,
and tonight returned to the consulate and
lodged formal complaint with Consul Lee.
However , the agreement reached between
Captain Slgsbee and General Blanco was that
the American commander is to be allowed to
use any divers , oven the divers sent here by
the American mewspapcrs , In his official In
vestigation.
Captain Slgebeo and the commander of the
Fern , accompanied by General Lee , visited
the captain general thla morning and had a
conference at which It was decided that ths
American clivers should not be allowed to
go Inside the wreck , although any diver ap

WASHINGTON , Fib H-Tl.o . opinion of
ono of the leading expert * In the use of high
explosives , Prof. lAlgcr of the Ordnance bu
reau , ee to the cause ot the explosion , Is as
follows !
"As to the question of the cause of the
Maine's explosion wo know that no torpedo ,
such as Is known In warfare , can of Itself
cause an explosion of the character ot that
on board the Maine. Wo know of no In
stances where the explosion of a torpedo or
mlno under a ship's bottom has explodc-d the
magarlno within. It has simply torn a
great hole In the side or bottom through
which water entered and In consequence
of which the ship sank. Magazine explosions
on the contrary produce effects exactly elm-
Mar to the effects ot the explosion on board
the Maine.
"When It comw to seeking the cause of
the explosion of the Malno'n magazine , wo
should naturally look not for Improbable or
unusual causes , but those against which wo
have had to guard In the past. The most
common of thcso Is through fire In the bunk
ers. Many of our ships have been In danger
at various times from this c.iuee , and not
long ago a flro In the Cincinnati's bunkers
actually set flro to fittings , wooden boxes ,
etc. , within the magazine , and had It not
been discovered at the time It was It would
doubtless have resulted In a catastrophe on
board that ship similar to the ono on the
Maine.
"I shall again emphasize the fact that no
torpedo exploded without a ship has never
produced , or according to our knowledge , can
produce an explosion of a magazine within , "

cus called for the conslJcratlon of the Gee
bel resolution ( force bill ) , which has al
ready pcsscd the senate , and which the dis
senters say It was sought to force the house
democrats to vote for. The fight , which Ine
been growing Intensely for several days ,
( has come to Involve nearly every demo

next race for governor and United States
senator.
Ex-Senator Blackburn arrived tonight
presumably In the Interest of the measure

candidates for governor who are leading
the revolt against the bill.
When It was discovered that only fifty
three of the 102 democrats of both houaer

friends of the bill went into executive ses
sion , the result of which they refuse to
make public. Opinion Is about equally dl
vlded as to whether the bill can now be
forced through the house.

NEGLECT IS SUICIDE.
Plain Words From Mra. Pinkham , Corroborated by Mrs. Oharloa
Dunmoro , That Ought to Bring SuIToritier
Women to Their Senses.
If you were drowning1 and friendly hands shoved a plank to you , and you
refused it , you would be committing suicide !
Yut that is precisely what women are doing if they po about tbcir homes
almost dead with mibery , yet refute to grasp the kindly hand held out to them !
'It is suieidal to go day after day with that dull , con
stant pain in the region of the womb and that
bloating heat and tenderness of the abdomen ,
which make the weight of your clothes an
almost intolerable burden to you. It is not
natural to suffer BO in merely emptying the
bladder. Docs not thatspccial form of suffering -
_ fering tell you that there is inflammation
somewhere ?
'Shall I tell you what it is ?
It is inflammation of the womb I
If it goes on , polypus , or tumor , or cancer will set in.
' " Commence the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. Thousands of women in this condition have
been cured by it. Keep your bowels open with Mrs. Pinkham's Liver Pills ,
and if you want further advice , write to Mrs , Pinklmm at Lynn , Mass. , stat
ing freely all your symptoms she stands ready and willing to give you
the very best advice. She lias given the helping hand to thousands
suffering justlike yourself , many of whom lived miles away from a physi-
cian. Her marvelous Vegetable Compound has cured
many thousands of women. It can be found at any
respectable drug storo.
Mns. CIIAHLES DUXMOHK , 103 FremontSt. , Winter
Hill , Somervillc , Mass. , says : "I was in paindayand
night ; my doctor did not hcem to help me. I could
not seem to find any relief until I took Lydia K. Pink- " *
ham's Vegetable Compound. I had inflammation of
the womb , a bearing-down pain , and the whites very
badly , The pain was so intense that I could not sleep at
night. " I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for eight "pW months ,
and am now all right. Before that I took morphine pills for my pain ; that
was a great mistake , for the relief was only momentary and the effect vile. I
am so thankful to bo relieved of rny sufferings , for the pains I had were some
thing terrible. I am , indeed , very grateful for the good Mrs. Pinkham's rcinc <
dies have douo me. "
