FITTSBCRO, July 29.-Indloatlons point
to an almost entire suspension of building
operations In' the Pittsburg district within
forty-eight hours as a result of a fight be
tween the Building Trade's council and the
Builders' Exchange league.
About a week ago the Building Trades
council ordered a strike of all men affiliated
with them who were employed by the con
tracting firm of A. & 8. Wilson because
the firm employs a non-union hoisting en
gineer and refused to sign the scale. This
order affected nearly 1,000 men and effectu
ally tied ufr th majority of the firm's con
tracts. Tonight the Builders' Exchange league,
of which the firm Is a-member, took up tie
matter and after a full discussion adopted
a resolution- which called for the appoint
ment of a committee to notify the Build
ing Trades council that unless the strike
Is called off within forty-eight hours the
employers of all workmen connected with
the Building Trades council will suspend
operations untlf the matter has been sat
isfactorily settled.

DAVENPORT, la., July a.-(Speclal)-The
Iowa State Bankers' association, In
session In Davenport, held a Joint meet
ing today with the bankers from Illinois,
who have been In convention over at Rock
Island. The feature of the day was the
addresses by Congressman Fowler and
Governor Cummins.
The Iowa association elected offloers as
follows: President, L. F. Potter, Harlan;
vice president, Frank Y. Locke, Sibley;
treasurer, D. H. McKee, Medlapolls; sec
retary. J. M. Dinwtddie, Cedar Rapids.
Appointments of delegates to the American
Bankers' association at San Franclsca were
made as fallows :. Ralph Van, Vethten, Ce

Crocker, Charlton; A. F. Keck, Washing
ton; O. J. Fletcher, Marshalltown; Lyman
Edwards, Burlington.
At the meeting this morning Governor
Cummins spoke on the "Conservatism of
Prosperity, ' and aroused great enthusiasm
by his remarks. After discussing the pre
vailing prosperity and Indicting that It
was something that should be preserved
at all hazards, he presented a view of the
necessity for reform legislation as affecting
the business Interests, of the country, say
ing among other things:
That the present .system for furnishing a
currency to do a business already vast and
cunsianuy growing is :naaequate is beyond
controversy.
That a system ran hn rtevlrt whlih will .
adequate must be ndmitted, else man Is no
longer master of the conditions which he
nas created, lou know and I know that
a reform in the laws touching currency is
one of the things so necessary that the
tortured body of buslnesss attests It In
the agony of its movements. Why is a re
form not effected?.
You may tell me that It is because the
members of congress cannot agree upon a
plan. But this will be a superficial answer.
There are differences of opinion. I know
Men have always differed and always will
differ upon such questions.
Too Many Stand Pat.
If you will examine profoundly your own
hearts you will agree with me that the
reason the Fowler hill or some other bill
of like scope and having a like general
purpose was not adopted by the last session
of congress was because there were too
many members who wanted to "stand pat"
and were determined to "let well enough
alone. , .
The real spirit that stands like a giant In
the way of progress in Ihls direction is
the conservatism of prosperity. If men are
In earnest with respect to the object to be
accomplished they all! compose their dif
ferences and will unite upon some plan
that will have the desired result. We may
be compelled to wait until we are in the
throes of hnanrlal distress before we do
what ought to be done. It is hard to say.
You can help to make public opinion upon
this or any other subject.
You can help to refute the greatest
fallacy, which is because we are prosperous
under certain laws, that those laws will
keep us prosperous.
The Iowa State Bankers', association
closed Its seventeenth annual convention

(From a Staff Correspondent)
, PIERSON, la.. July 29-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Promptly . at 8 o'clock the trad
excursion left Onawa after spending the
nighj. In that city. A rain during the night
cooled the atmosphere and today has been
an Ideal one for the busy excursionists.
Whltlrg was the first slop, but It was a
trine early for this little city.' At Sloan
the excursion piet with a salute from an
Improvised cannon, which made a fearful
racket.
The next stop was at Sallx, for fifteen
minutes, and then to Sargent's Bluffs.
Her the train started on Its eastern trip,
the first stop on this branch being Movllle,
from Movllln to Ktngsley and then Plersin,
arriving at Cprrectlonvllle at noon.
While this Is practically virgin soil for
a great many of the excursionists, they
claim that they are planting good seed
and their crop of returns will be in the
future.
This section of the country la especially
Interpatlng to the South Omaha end of the
excursion, as every hilltop la covered with
cattle.
Great Reception at Holsteln.
CARROLL, la., July 2t.-(Special Tele
gram. ) The excuslon train of the Omaha
Commercial club reached Holsteln on time
but did not leave on schedule. The recep
tion there developed Into an ovation. "Fall
In behind the band," was the cry after an
invitation had been extended to th party
to go up town. The clubs marched to
Turner hall where refreshments were
served. F. L. Haller expressed thanks
to the people of Holsteln for their warm
reception, winding up by saying It was a
mistake that South Omaha allowed the
hog's squeal to escape, and Introduced the
quartet as an- evidence. The band gave a
concert In the hall and all the young men
selected -their partners for the two-step
Galva, Schaller, Early and Sao City were
visited In order named. At Lakevlew every
body marched to Wall lake where they
boarded the steamer and took a boat ride.
Carnarvon and Breda came next and on to
Carroll for supper. Harlan will be the
stopping place for the night.
From what could be gathered from short
talks with the farmers and merchants,
northwest Iowa will hav good crops as
usual and from what could be seen from
the car windows they certainly looked
good. The excursionists sre all well and
glad they came. The weather has been
cool and pleasant all day.

Illuminated by th glare from th already
burning, houses. , . T. '- : ' ' -

: Th work of rescu at 'once began, but
In many cases th flames had already
gained full sway over the crumbled ruins
and several persons wer burned to death
before the debris which covered them
could be removed.
The property Is situated Just over th
Lowell line In Towkesbury, but the Lowell
Are department did noble work In caring
for the wounded. Before a stream or
water was started from tho engines, the
hose from all the wagons was tuken out
and the bodies of the wounded were placed
in the wagons and hurried to the hospital.
Ambulances soon appeared on the scene'
and assisted the firemen, and all sorts of
vehicles were pressed Into service. Nearly
forty persons were taken to the two hos
pitals within half an hour, while' many
more whose injuries were slight, had their
wounds dressed and remained on the scene
where they assisted in caring for the less
fortunate.
The explosion shook the city and within
half an hour there were at least 5,000 per
sons on the scene of the catastrophe. The
crowd so badly' hindered the work of car
ing for the wounded that the mayor sent
out a militia call. Three companies re
sponded and three hours later had thrown
a cordon around the district and cleared
the place of everyone except those Im
mediately engaged In fighting the flames
and searching for victims.
Two hundred yards further down the
river from the second rnagazlne the fire
men suddenly came across the bodies of
four little boys who were about to have
a swim. A fifth member of the party was
In the river when the explosion occurred
and escaped without injury. ,
Apparently the ' force from the second
magazine was expended In two directions,
north and south. On the north It com
pletely demolished the William Rlggs house
about fifty yards away, almost burying
Mrs. Rlggs, and badly injuring her little
son. Mrs. Rlggs died before being taken
to the hospital.
On the other side of the magazine was
a grove of trees, through which the ex
plosion tore a path fifty feet wide for
nearly 800 yards. The four little boys were
oaught In the center of this path, and
thre wer Instantly killed, tho body of
on of them being frightfully mutilated,
th head being completely blown off. The
fourth was alive when he was discovered
but did not long survive.
Most of the property destroyed coneUted
of small buildings constructed of wood,
and all at comparatively slight coat. The
property loss, therefore, will not b heavy.
