Htrlhea,
The Contractors' association will submit a
proposition to the Carpenters' union today
with a view to ending tin strike and com
promising the difficulty between them. At
a meeting of tho contractors last evening,
following a conference with Business Agent
Taylor of the Carpenters' union, it wob de
cided to propose that a maximum wage
scale of 35 cents be agreed upon, leaving
tbe minimum unfixed. Up to this time the
contractors have Insisted on the manlmum
wage being 30 conts, leaving tbe maximum
unfixed. It Is stated that this proposition
was suggested by Mr. Taylor.
The contractors, however, will still in
sist on a clause In the agreemont prohibit
ing the union carpenters from participating
in sympathetic strikes and will Insist that
tbe Jurisdiction of tbe Council Bluffs union
be confined to the city and not to within a
radius of five miles outside the city, as de
manded by the union.
The Trades and Building executive com
mutes has authorized Taylor to call off all
union painters, plumbers, sheet metal
worker and paperhangers working on build
ings where thu contractors have refused
to sign the agreement, but it Is not be
lieved that this expedient will bo re
sorted to.
Several of the contractors have signed
tho union agreement provisionally and have
all the men they want at work. Contractor
Wind, at the new High school building, has
all tho men he needs at work, and so hna
Contractor Battln at tho postofTice. Jensen

DES MOINES, May 24. (Special.) The
supreme court of Iowa went on record to
day In an opinion which throws around
the building and loan associations In Iowa
valuable protection from claims on ac
count of usurious Interest collections and
maktvi It practically impossible to defeat
them on account of usury where the mat
ter is of long standing. It appears that
somo years ago the associations secured
the passage through tho Twenty-seventh
general assembly of what waa called a
curative act, under which they wero por
mltted to chargo as high as 12 per cent
Interest, or collect that much, on con
tracts previously made.
Later this law was repealed, and the ques
tion was whether its repeal left the re
lationship of companies where It was be
fore or whether the curative act pro
tected tho companies for all time on con
tracts made previously. In an appeal case
of J. M. Kdworthy against Iowa Savings and
Loan association of Dcs Moines, coming
from this county, the court held the theory
that the curative act operates ns a bar
to claims for usury buck of the time It
was repealed.

Tho important topic today before the
United Presbyterian general assembly was
revision of the creed, which provides that
no membor of any secret society shall bo
a membor of the church. The matter was
hotly discussed for more than two hours,
but Ilnnl decision wns postponed till later
In the session. The Mnsonlc nnd Odd Fel
lows' orders were special objects of attack,
one delegate going so far as to say that
ho believed no member of a secret society
could ever reach heaveu.
Honry Wallace of Dcb Moines favored
rovlslon, stating as a reason that men go
to secret societies because tho church creed
Is too narrow. Dr. James Crowe of Phil
adelphia was particularly bitter against the
Masonic order nnd called he exercises of
tho lodges "worshiping, .without Christ."
R. M. Little of Chicago favored revision
and Rev. W. J. Snodgrass of the Mercer
Presbytery opposed. Jlev. J. L. Wallace
thought some members of somo societies
might be admitted to the church, but wished
to exclude Masons, pr. McMIUIn thought
fraternallam taught by secret societies was
antl-Chrlstlan. Rev. T. H. Moffatt of New
York said no man could be both a Mason
or nn Odd Fellow and a Christian. Rev.
E. K. Smith, the only colored delegate,
thought secrot societies were wrong bo
cause they compelled a man to keep se
crets from his wife, which wns contrary to
the Bible teachings. Tbo afternoon ses
sion was occupied by reports of missionary
societies and women's boards. Minister E.
H. Conger will address the assembly Mon
day. Weaseln Tourlnw the West.

Tho grand lodge of Iowa of the Iowa
Legion of Honor, a fraternnl beneficiary as
sociation, Is In session In Belle Platno this
week, nnd tho chief matter to bo considered
Is a chance In the manner of making as
sessments. It Is proposed thf.t the order

Grandpa
Everybody's proud of this sort of
Grandpa, and ho's proud of himself;
proud of his clear brain and active body.
There arc other kinds of grandparents
that we can't lc proud of. Weak of
body and feeble of mind, we can only
pity them. They no more live ; they
only exist. What makes the difference
between these two clashes of old men?
A Bound stomach nnd a plentiful sup
ply of pure, rich blood. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strength
ens the stomach, purifies the blood,
nnd increases the activity of the blood
making glands. It won't make old
men young, but it will enable old men
to assimilate the food they cat, nnd
w strengthen them for a life of rea
sonable exertion.
" I suffered for nix years with con Jtlpatlon and
ludlgettion, durlug which time I employed
several physicians, but they could not rench ray
cane," write Mr. O. I'opplewcll. of ljureka
6prlng. Carroll Co. Arl:, "I felt that there
was no help for me; could not retain food on my
stomach; had vertlco und would fall helplesi to
the floor. Tito years ago I commenced taking
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and little
Pellets,' and Improved from t)i Mart. After
taking twelve bottles of the 'Discovery' I was
a Die to do llgni woru, ana nave Dcen improving
ever since.
I am nowmgwq neaun loroueoi
ray age 6a years,
I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's
uiccicuiej."
Old people often need a laxative
medicine. The best for them ia Dr,
Ficrce'o Pleasant Pelltta,
ach. Enriches the blood, increases its
nourishing power. Good for ill, convales
cent and well. All can use it with benefit.
