There wan a great outpouring of people last night at the 'Broadway ' Methodist church , where memorial services were held In commemoration of the disaster which be fell tlio United States battleship Malno In Havana harbor and the death of Miss Fran ces E. Wlllard , national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. The pulpit and organ loft were draped with the American flag and fcstoono of black and whlto bunting , and whlto palms and. bloom ing flowers wcro strowa about In abuo- Oancc. Fpeclal music nnd addresses appro priate to the occaslm were the features of the exercises , which carried with them ab sorbing Interest throughout. Pews In the body of the auditorium were occupied by the relatives of Seamen John J. McManus and William 'Monfort ' , the Coun cil Bluffs men who lost their lives In the Malno catastrophe ; the Dodge Light Guard , High School cadets and delegations from other military organizations of the city , to gether with representatives of the local branch of the Woman's Christian Temper ance union. In the pulpit were Rev. J. II. Scnscney , pastor of the church ; Rev. G. L. Goodscll of Trinity Methodise church ; Mrs. A. A. Hart , president of the Council Bluffs branch of the Woman's Christian Temper ance union ; Mr . II. A. Ballcnger , district secretary of the organization ; Hon. John N. Baldwin , Colonel C. G , Saundcrs , Hon. Charles M. Harl. James McCalie , Jacob Sims , all speakers of the evening , and the olllccrs of the Dodge Light Guard and the cadets. Whllo the audience was assembling Miss May Tullcys , the organist , played Hofmann's Interlude , "Barcarole , " and the exercises were opened by the choir singing "Holy , Holy , Holy , " the vast congregation standing during the hymn. Rev. Sensency then of fered up a fervent prayer. Rov. Goodscll then read the scripture les son from the Ninetieth Psalm , after which Rev. Senseney made some Introductory re marks concerning the services. MEETING IS APPROPRIATE. "In the face of the terrible calamity which has befallen our bravo seamen of the battleship 'Malno ' in the harbor of a foreign power , " he said , "this spontaneous outpour ing of the patriotic pcoplo of Council Bluffa Is appropriate ; all the more fitting because gathered with them here are the relatives of two of those brave men who were so sud denly and violently hurled to their death. It Is fitting that at this time and under thcso circumstances wo sliould also pay tribute to the memory of Miss Wlllard , whoso lamented death came so close upon the disaster In Havana harbor. While the clicumstonccs which surrounded the two calamities were widely different , a nation mourns and it is proper that wo should be here. " Mr. Baldwin was Introduced and his ad dress dealt entirely with the Havana disas ter. He said that the nation was just now passing through a period which was , to his mind , the most Important and trying since the rebellion. As a result of the Maine dis aster and other trying incidents growing out of the Cuban war the honor and In tegrity of the American people were at stake. But of all the questions in which the United States was involved with Spain none were replete with so many vital Is sues as those which wore Involved In the destruction of tlio Maine. The nation mourned the death of Its gallant seamen and the destruction of its valuable war ship In foreign waters and In the harbor of a friendly nation. "But there are circumstances controlling this awful calamity , " said the speaker , "which have prompted the American pcoplo to suspect the treachery of a friendly na tion. They nro horrified tbat while lying off the Cuban shore In the Interest of peace their battleship Maine and Its crew should lie hurled to sudden destruction In the ! night time , without a moment's warning. There was a tlmo In the history of this nation when such an Incident would have been the signal for war , but In these times of coveted peace our people nro willing to rely upon future developments to dictate their course. Wo cannot afford to Involve ourselves In war blindly , and yet In this Instance there Is a chain of events which have Involved Spain to a degree that Jios bccomo almost Intolerable to our people. SYMPATHY WITH CUBA. "The struggle of the Cuban patriots for Independence has In Itself flred the free spirit of this nation with sympathy for the success of their cause ; yes , .even to that pitch whcro a majority of tho'Amerlcan people - plo Is clamoring for the recognition of its struggling neighbors. The ob.ioxlous Woy- ler rule on the Island and the recall of that human butcher , the insulting conduct of De Lomo and what had resulted In the same thing as his recall , the destruction of the Malno and the never-ending murder of thousands of human beings on the Island of devastated Cuba all of thcso Incidents Imvo aroiiBcd the American people to a ten sion where the pcaco strings cannot hold out much longer against popular clamor. Cuba's liberty must come finally , It matters not whether the United States takes a hand In the war or not , but there 1s ono thing certain : If It develops In this Maine inves tigation that the prldo of our navy and Its heroic seamen have been sent to their de struction through treachery , either the Spanish nation will bo swept off the face of the earth and Its country devastated or the American republic wiper out at existence. Wo are a determined and a revengeful people ple when our honor is Involved Thus far wo have dealt honorably and conservatively with Spain , but once let the Dons or any other people attempt to betray our govern ment and wo will fight to tlio last man. "I feel that it Is my duty to bo here to night end course ! patience In this Malno la cldcnt. Tlio natlrn has confidence In the administration and believes that It will bt. loyal to every trust reposed Iti It. The people - plo have confidence In their navy and Us secretary. Two administrates , each of dif ferent political complexion , have wrestled with this Cuban rjuwtlon tnd In the wisdom of both It has been deemed to the best In terests of the nation to pursue a ccntorva- tlvo policy. President McKlnlcy and Secre tary Sherman ore men of wisdom. Wo should trust them. The president and secretary - rotary of war have both ee n active service ar l they know what a war would metis for the United States. In my judgment thcc-e high officials are entitled to our confidence. We should leave the Malno Incident for such men as thcso to settle In the knowledge that they will protect the Intereits of the peo. pie and the honor of the , nation at all hazards agalmt any or all nations. " TRIBUTE TO MISS WILLARD. Mm. Ballenger followed this speaker with an address on the death of MUw Wlllard In bolialf of the Council Bluffs Womanto Clirlstlm Temperance union , She reviewed the llfo of the organization's late president and her work for social reforms , paying a touching tribute to her womanly character. There was a tremor In the voice of Hen. James McCabe , the one-armed soldier , when ho began speaking. With a few opening ccn- Icnces ho sketched the situation In Havana harlor acid pictured the profound corrow that fills the hearts of the American people to day , and In a briefer manner described the magnificent ship representing years of toll and millions of dollars now lying an eloquent wreck In the foul waters of Havana harbor. "nut what cor did Judas , " said tic. "has Riven thought to the money that was sunk to that eplcndld ship ? It throws the lie In the teeth of the nations that have pointed to America In envious scorn as the wor shiper of the Idol , money , when In all that U uttered there Is no word and no thought of tbo money lose. It I * the men wo mourn. Wo have btber ships , and can build many more , hut the braved heroes who have per ished are lost only as we cherish their mem ories and are ennobled by tholr example1) ) . They are lost , but yet there are millions to take their places. "Tho men that Ixivc created the splendid edifices of the world have stood out far above nnd beyond In Importance everything that exists In the world. Ours has been a nation of peace. From the days that the foundations of this government were laid It has been our policy t > make men better nnl not to destroy them. The supreme purpose Is to have character , and the American iavy has been most fortunate In Its character , Invincible and dauntless. Its history has been magnificent ; Its records splendid. Rut all cf the rplondld records from the days f Paul Jones to the end of our civil war were made by vessels that were miserable tubs com pared lo the splendid ship that now lies In Havana harbor. That navy was made great by the men who manned Its ships , but tlu-Ir fame , deathless as It Is , Is no brighter than the halo that crowns the heroes for whom we are mourning tonight. Splendid as all these naval heroes were they were not more so than ttio gallant men who appear to have been murdered In atrocious cruelty and pcrfldy."v PROUD OP THE NAVY. Continuing , he paid a most eloquent trib ute to the bravery of the crewof the battle ship , whoso surviving ; members calmly and with perfect Eelf-eontrol faced death. He was proud of the thought that all European navlw and armies were formed upon the Itlen that only the titled were capable of commanding , but In ours It Is not so. Every man on the Malno was a commander. This country , ho declared , could never see such a spectacle as has been Witnessed In Paris within the last week , when a military dictator tater could enter a. civil court of Justice nnd dictate a verdict. "No event , " said he , "has so profoundly moved the American people as the tragedy in Havana harbor since the assassination of Lincoln and Gar- field. " Ho said the present was a time for caution as well as for patriotism , and he declared that whllo millions of hearts mourned for the Maine's sailors there wcro millions of hands ready to avenge them If It should be shown that they were assas sinated. C. O. Samulcra spoke with a great deal of feeling. "In our march of progress wo should pause and drop a tear for the mem ory of the bravo men who are sleeping In graves on an alien soil. " Ho agreed with Major McCabe that no event has so pro foundly moved the nation as this had done , but ho rejoiced to know that sympathy knew no boundary lines. The world weeps with us today for our fallen. He de. . scribed a , visit made to the battleship two years ago , when ho was permitted to go through the splendid vessel. On one of the decks ho noticed a. paber , upon which was Inscribed "Don't give up the ship. " It was the motto of every man on the vessel. He thought the nation had shown Its greatness when It followed the advlco of Captain Slgsbeo to wait until all of the facts were brought to light before forming on opinion. "Wo are waiting now. If It was accident wo shall mourn , but If It shall bo shown that It was an act of treachery the Ameri can people will strike with a mailed hand and tcrrlblo as war Is It will be made still more bitter to the nation that let Its ma lignant hatred use the methods of the as sassin. "God moves In a mjsterlous way. Wo cannot fathom His purposes. It may be that the cries of tlio starving and homeless men , women and children In unhappy Cuba have gene up to heaven and have been answered and Ho has chosen this awful means of awak ening us to a realization of the fact that wo | ] are our brother's keeper. If war shall como ' as sorrow has come to hearts in Council 1 ! hi Its , wo will do our duty. " He clcocd with a tender tribute to the memory of the Council Bluffs young men who perished with their ship. BEREAVEMENT IS NATIONAL. C. M. Harl oald It might seem Incon gruous that there should bo held Jo'at memorial services to the memory of the naval heroes and the great advocate of peace and good will , Miss Wlllard , but death In both Instances had caused a national bereave ment. These sceneo are tributes to the nation's dead. Our hearts go out to the homes of our land darkened with sorrow. Theao men died for us and their deeds be come a part of the glorious history of the American navy. The country has been rich In historic names , but In all there arc r : na entitled to greater honor than the bravo sailors who went to their death la an all but hcotllo harbor. " Ho paid a splendia tribute to the character of Miss Wlllard , whom he described as the foremost woman of her time and referred to the cablegram from Lady Henry Somerset ordering that a heart of white flowers bo laid upon her cof- fln as the greatest tribute that could bo paid to a mortal. The meeting closed with personal eulogies of young Monfort and McManus by the pas tor. Ho referred to the fact that among the last letters Mrs. Monfort had received ffom her fen was cne from Havana In which ho declared that for some reason ho had been thinking upon religious matters and had reached the concluslcn that a religious llfo was the only one to lead. The speaker said that young McManus was once a member of the Catholic church In this city. Ho had made Inquiries of his pastor , Rev. Father Smytho , tnd had been assured of the spiritual character of the young man. The services closed by the congregation rising and singing the national hymn.

The BoarJ of Directors of the Grape Grow ers' nnd Shippers' association held a meet ing Saturday which was largely for the pur pose of electing a manager for the coming year. A largo number of applications for the position have been before the association for same time but the directors have been unable to agrco upcti the nua they want to manage their shipping and celling busi ness for the next year. The geneial senti ment amcng Ifio mombprs of the board at the present time Is that the association has now reached a point In Its career when it can afford to continue Its business throughout the year. The plan is to do a general com mission business In the winter and spring months , making a specialty of handling the produce of the members. They bollcvo that In this way a profitable business can bo built up that will more than pay all expenses dur ing the off season and enable the manager to get Into closer touib with the markcto and thereby moro readily dispose of the fruit when the shipping season arrives. If the fruit crop Is as largo this year an It was last the shipments that will be made by the association will bo moro than tvvleo es largo aa last season. This will be caused chiefly by the fact that the new vineyards and berry patches tbat will como Into bearIng - Ing will add doubly the amount of acreage that was under cultivation and producing last year. In addition to this there will be a Urge Increase In the membership of tbo cssoclatlon. The experience tint many grow ers outside of the association had last year with dealers who failed to make proper re turns for consignments has taught them a costly ! c eon. The directors say the associa tion will this year control fully 90 per cent of the product of ttio county. The selection of the manager haa been deferred until next Saturday.

Joint' * KiurllMi Ijitlirrnn Church Ilnlil * < < i > rclnt'Sc ( Vlce * . The church and Sunday school of St. John's English Luthercn church held their annual mleslcoary service yesterday at the church and n neat sum was co11f > ctlcd'.nnd subscribed for the missionary cause. A regular pro gram arranged by the general missionary board of the church was carried out and on addreeo was made by the pastor , Hcv. George W. Snyder , on the works and death of Rev. David A. Day , who spent twenty-three years In the mlislcn fields In western Africa In the service of the Lutheran church. The pro gram consisted of appropriate readings , rec itations and songs. The history of the work of Rev. Day Is especially Interesting to Council LI lifts pcoplo on account of his being ing- among them In 1893. Ho preached to the congregation of St. John's church and was present and assisted In the consecration of the lot where the present church stands. In 187-1 ho went to Muhlensburg In Liberia nnd for several years he was the only white person ' that part of the country. Another missionary had previously started the work there , but had left It. His chief work In the beginning was teaching children the modes of civilization and later he taught them on religious themes. He acquired great power among the natives In tlmo and was made chief of cno of the tribes. Bishop Taylor , the Methodist African missionary nnd ono of the bishops of the Church of England , pro. nounced Day to be one of the greatest mis sionaries In Africa. In 1S97 his health failed and ho was obliged to glvo up his work there and Into In the fall ho started to re turn to his home In this country at Sellna- grove , Pa. He was taken seriously sick en shipboard and stopped for a time In a hospital In Liverpool. Being told that ho could noi recover , ho attempted to reach home , but died on the passage from Liverpool to the United States. Ho was married twice , bin first wife boles with him In Africa twenty years at the time of her death. Three Hilldron wcro born to them and they also died in that country. About one year before his death he married a seccnd time to a lady missionary of Africa , who had come to work In the territory under his control. Bishop Taylor and Day's wlfo accompanied Day on his Journey from Liverpool and were present at his death. Mro. Day now resided In Baltimore and expects to return to the mission fields of Africa In a short time. I'KOIM.K SItJST WAIT HUVUMHMIUXT. m-v. IV. S. llnriit'N PronrlioH oil Hie Maine DlNiiKlcr. Rev. W. S. Barnes of the First Presby terian church spoke on the Maine disaster last evening. 'He hoped that the feelings of bitterness toward the Spaniards would not be Increased by his words and that what ever amount of such feeling as may be felt within the breast of any In his presence might be allayed. Ho devoted the first of his address to the facts of the disaster as he saw them and as they were held by the national olllclals. Ho held forth the Idea that the explosion wag purely accidental so far as known now and that no thoughts of treachery on the part of the Spaniards should enter the minds of the people until positive proof of sucU should be plainly manifested. He was of the opinion that the United States was not as diligent In looking after the safety of Its seamen and vessels as the other great nations of the world and tl ; t they were neglectful Jn taking proper pre cautions to prevent accidents of this kind Ho believed that the navql arclhtects were loud In declaring that the ship woo blown up ! by design that they may avoid any responsi bility In the matter. The latter part of his address was on the line of religious teaching that may bo gleaned from the disasterns an example of the uncertainty of llfo , and the suddenness of death In a great many cases.

" Ail Inwii Man Who In a Washington letter to the Fort Dodge Messenger. George E. Roberts , who has just taken up lib duties as director or the mint , tells an Interesting story concerning ex- Governor Carpenter. Ho says that many years ago when Governor Carpenter was comptroller of the currency , Judge Tabor of Independence also held a position in the Treasury department. Objection was made and the secretary of the treasury decided that ono of the two lowans would have to go and that ho could best spare Judge Ta bor. Word was accordingly sent lo the Judge tbat his resignation would gratify the ad ministration , but Governor Carpenter got wind of the matter and Insisted that his resignation and not that of Judge Tabor should bo accepted. Ho secured the accept ance of his resignation and thus left Wash ington and a salary of $5,000 a year. Gov ernor Carpenter la not the only lon-an that has voluntarily given up a good thing , says the Cedar Rapids Republican. The coco of Secretary Wllcon , who gave up lib scat In congress. Is fresh In mind. It Is fitting that ho should occupy his present place of honor In the cabinet. It Is fitting , also , that Presi dent McKlnloy has decided to appoint ex- Govoraor Carpenter postmaster at Fort Dodge.

It was shown that the sensational statements In the letter represented rather the boast Ings of Jackman than any real accomplish ments In the line of Influencing the appoint ment of committees. Sentiment seems to be all one way as to the Ellison habitual criminal bill. The measure Is Intended to discourage alien paupers from coming into Iowa. Most ol the adjoining states already have such laws and when a criminal Is near the limit he emigrates to greener pastures. A state like Iowa , which has no habitual criminal law , Is the location they want , and plenty of them come. There Is little doubt that the bill will carry. The factional quarrel of two years' stand ing In the Notional Guard , growing out of the election of General Guest as brlgadlei of tbo Second brigade , will hnvo nn airing soon. General Guest's charges agalusl three Ues Molnes officers of the guard will bo tried before a court-martial In a short tlmo and the trial will be public. The defendants , wlio are charged with try ing to throw the election to Prime , by pro ceases of ballot box stuffing , doctoring re turns , etc. , say that they will make It very Interesting for Guest before they are done with him. They promise to prove tbat he , and not they , has been guilty of all kinds of Improper methods , anJ that If anybody Is to be court-martialed It Is their accuser. On the other hand , Guest makes direct charges against those whom he IMS accused and declares that ho can prove all that he has alleged. Valuable IJOK I'olNoned. MANCHESTER , la. , Feb. 20.
