Year Routine Report of
the MeetliiK.
Tho annual mooting of tho Grain Dealers'
Union ot Southwestern Iowa and Northwest
ern Missouri, held in tho League rooms at
tho Grand hotej In this city yeeterday, at
tracted an attendanco of members and other
men intercntcd In the buying and selling ot
grain that was far above tho average of
former sessions of the association. D.
Hunter of Hamburg, la., and O. A. Stlbbeus
of Coburg, la., wero ro-clectcd president
and secretary-treasurer respectively ot
tho organization for the ensuing year, whllo
tho vice presidency went to E. II. Van
Hcholack of Elliott, la.
The afternoon session was devoted to tho
annual eloctlon of officers and tho dlscus
nlon of trade topics ot Interest to tho mem
bers. E. J, Noble, chief grain liiBpoctor of
Chicago, delivered a lengthy address, In
which ho explained tho reasons why castorn
grain failed to grado two. Ho said that 09
per cent of tho 1899 corn crop contained B
per cent moisture, which provented It from
grading two, and on that account wan
graded three. Ho explained the system of
grading in tho Chicago market and spoko on
othor matters of interest in connection
with tho same nubjcct.
Tho matter of the association Joining tho
national organization was again brought up
and urged by Charles S. Clark, secretary of
tho Grain Dealers' National association. Mr.
Clark explained tho objects of tho national
body, saying in part as follows: 1
The Nation Its Field.
"Tho Grain Dealers' National association,
as Its name Implies, is national in its mem
bership, as well as its work. Its member
ship is not confined to ono laos of dealern,
nor to thoso of any special district The,
regular grain dealors of Iowa, the grain
brokers of St. Louis, tho commission mer
chants of Chicago, tho track buyers of
Pittsburg, tho exporters of New Orleans or
any othor district or place are equally eli
gible to membership. Ita work Is tho ad
vancement ot the common interest of all
dealers regularly and continuously engaged
In the grain business by tho reform of
trade abuses and tho amelioration of trade
conditions. It alma to help its members In
every way possible, whenever and wherover
they may ask It. Although Its work should
bo confined to questions and problems ot
national Import, it will always bo found
doing its beat with every question, prob
lem and troublo which presents Itself, until
all of tho dealern of the country aro well
armed with local associations. Then can
tho national bo made a delegate body and
conflno its efforts to problems too largo or
distant for any of the local associations to
colvo. Tho Iowa, tho Kansas or tho Nebraska
association cannot "aoule troubles In dis
tant market centers, although tho dealers
of each atato aro greatly interested in that
market, but cither can handlo local nffalrs
much moro effectively than tho national as
sociation could over hope to do, except
through tho medium of tho stato organiza
tions as an ally of tho national.
"Through its check weight bureau nt Kan
sas City tho Kansas association has planted
sunflowers nbout tho offices of many strug
gling dealers in other states. Its work
has made lifo pleasantcr for many receiv
ers of that market, reduced tho burden of
the regular shippers of Kansas nnd neigh
boring states who patronize that markot
nnd brought hope to many dealers who long
since despaired of ever getting fair weights
In any market. The disclosures made by
the bureau havo materially assisted the
Grain Dealors' National association in Its
campaign for Improved weighing facilities
and better weights In othor markets. Tho
ontlre trailo has profited greatly by the
work of tho Kansas bureau, yet only Kan
sas shippers nnd Kansas City receivers have
contributed to Its support. This is not
right; all interested should help along such
work. If It had been undertaken by tho
national association the burden would then
have been spread over tho entire trade, and
tho Kansas association would bavo been ablo
to devoto Its entlro time to trade reforms
within the stato, each of which is of direct
interest to every regular dealer In the
state and of only passing interest to dealors
outsldo the state.
Treats of AlunN.
"The mlsgradlng, the short weights or
other abuses ot a ccntrnl markot do not ex
asperato tho shippers of any ono stato or
district. Freight rate discriminations aro
seldom confined to any district. Disputes
regarding sales or trades aro generally be
tween dcnlers far distant from one nnother.
Tho many internal revenue. taxeB unjustly
levied upon tho grain dealers of the coun
try servo only to accumulate a ' surplus
which Is given free to favorlto banks that
It may again be circulated among tho peoplo
In the form ot loans. In thedo and many
other matters, where the local, district or
stato association falters, where its Influence
wavers, the national association ran perform
tho greatest sorvlco for the trado, and tho
sooner It can conflno its efforts to those
matters and have all such referred to It
by local, district or state associations, tho
better 'It wilt be for those associations and
their members. However, until tbo trado
becomes thoroughly organized, and tho na
tional Is mado a delegate body, It must
contlnuo, as In tho past to help members In
all the troubles they present.
"Tbo campaign for organization continu
ously comluctod by tho national association
has helped to enlarge all the locals In ex
istence when it was orgunlzed In 1S96, and
has boon Influential In helping others to
start and grow. Its constitution and by
laws have served as a model for many as
sociations. Its plan of district associations
with a directory made up of local chairmen
ono from euch county of the district Is
so simple and satisfactory in Its work
ings as to meet with favor wherever con
sidered." At tho night session, which brought tho
meeting to a close, the following board of
directors was chosen:, J. R.. Harris, Nortu-
boroj F. M. Campbell, Randolph; J. L,
Owynno. Imogene; G. II. Currier. Prescott;

At tho city election next Monday tho polls
will bo open until 7 o'clock in tho ovonlng
instead of 6 o'clock, ns heretoforo has been
tho custom. It waa known that a bill pro
viding for tho extension of tho tlmo for
closing tho polls was beforo tho state legis
lature, but thero was doubt as to whether
It would govern tho election to bo held hero
next Monday.
All doubt waa removed yesterday when
City Clerk Phillips received tho following
letter from Stato Senator Hazelton from
Dos Moines:
"Tho law extending the tlmo for closing
the polls to 7 o'clock p. m. haB pnssed both
houses nnd has been published, so that It
Is now a law. Tho polls for the coming city
olectlon must bo kept open until 7 o'clock
p. m."
This extension of tho tlmo for closing is
oxpected to bo of considerable benefit to
tho laboring men, who will now not bo
compelled to lcavo their work earlier It they
wish to voto. Under tho now law tho man
who works to G o'clock will have ample time
to reach tho polling place In his precinct
after ho quits work. It Is expected, how
over, that tho hour between 6 and 7 cVclock
will bo a heavy one on tho Judges and clerks
of election, as hundreds of votcrB aro al
ways In tho habit of waiting until tho very
last mlnuto to cast their ballot. It will nlso
delay tho counting of tho votes and thus
mako It later when tho result of tho elec
tion will bo known. The polls will open at
tho usual hour, 7 o'clock a. m.
All persons holding tickets for sale for
Friday night for "A Night In Bohemia"

from tho first that there was loss chanco
of Its passago than of tho telegraph bill.
House l'nrdtiim Moelelien.
Tho house passed the resolution granting
tho pnrdon of Cornelius Moelchen. Moclchcn
U a Prussian, who camo to Iowa from Ger
many In 1878. Ho lived with an uncto near
Dubuquo until bis undo was murdered and
ho was convicted of tho crime. At the time
ho wns tried ho could scarcely apeak Eng
lish and his guilt has always been ques
tioned by some. Moelchen was born in 1840
nnd served three yean ln Prussia during
the Franco-Prussian war. Ho waa never
boforo convicted of crime. His pardon will
probably pass tho senato without opposition.
Tho voto ln tho houso was 82 to 2.
Several new bills were Introduced ln the two
houses, but none of great Importance except
a measure by Aycre which propones to knock
out tho prohibitory law la Iowa by repealing
tho first section of tho chapter relative to
tho manufacture and salo of liquor ln tho
state. Several minor bills wero passed by
tho house, principally legalizing acts and
measures of minor Importance.
The house adopted without a dlssontlug
voto a resolution protesting against tho Porto
Rtcnn tariff, and another memorializing con
gress to voto for tho Lane bill appropriating
$5,000,000 for tho centennial ot the Louisiana
purchase ln 1003, providing tho olty of St.
Louis, where It is to bo held, appropriates
twice that much.
Tho house adopted tbo Joint resolution by
Campbell regarding adjournment, after
amending it so as to fix the tlmo for Friday,
March 30, Instead ot Tuesday, April 3. A
resolution to adjourn March 30 has been
made a special order In the senate for next
Tuesday. ; ir
Ono ot the now-Ioira laws went to the sec
retary of state toda,y without the signature
of the governor. That, executive has discov
ered that, the IRlslngor bill, providing a
hunter's license or Iowa, Is. not constitu
tional ln that It provides that all fines for
non-payment of tho license shall go Into tho
general county fund, when, according to tho
otato constitution, all fines must be paid Into
tho school fund. The governor 'has allowed
tho bill to go to tho secretary. In fact, aftor
three days without his signature. It became
a law any way, unless ho vetoed It. It Is
tho governor's Intention to call the attention
Jot tho legislature to the mistake and suggest
mat an amendatory act curing it be pawed,
and this will probably bo done.

Regarding the prospect for a sympathetic
strlko among Des Moines machinists nnd
metal workers, an officer of the Trado As
sembly today said:
"It Is improbable. In the first placo Des
Moines Is not a center for this line of
work and the men who labor at It are not
ntnilated with the assembly, although they
have an organization. If a strlko was or
dered they could not command tho aid of the
othsr labor organizations because they aro
not affiliated. And this branch of labor in
Des Moines Is not large enough to stand a
strain such as would probably como If they
decided to quit work. However, It Is
true that the machinists and all other or-
ganlied laboring men are koeplBg cloi1
watch of tho big strike, but of course we
cannot tell what will happen."
