SEVERAL ADDRESSES CURING THE DAY C stored Mast Telia Wsrk ( the Cfcareh Aaaeag His Rare la tke Seatk Waay Peraeas la Atteadaaee. The feature of the opening session yes terday afternoon of the fiftieth annual meeting of the Council Bluffs Association of Congregational Churches and Ministers, now In progress at the First Congrega tional church oh Sixth street and Seventh avenue, was the address by Rev. O. W. Moors of Nashville. Tenn. Rev. Moore spoke of the work of the American Mis sionary association among ths colored peo ple of the south. Rev. Moore, who has but little of the appearance of a negro. Is the son of col ored people who were sold Into slavery as be himself was, as he told his audi ence at the opening of his address. He is a grkdua.te of the Flak university and proved himself an eloquent and forceful speaker. He told of the great work which the'Congregatlonallsts were doing among the colored people la the south, maintain ing 732 missionaries and sixty schools with a membership of over 14.000 children. Booker Washington, he said, had been given to the country through the Congre gational church. He told of the condi tions existing in the south among the colored people before and after the war, of their bondage and of their freedom. At the time that the Association of Con gregational Churches was being organised In Council Bluffs the colored people of the south were praying for freedom, and their prayer was answered In the person of Abraham Lincoln. Werk la Mlaaloas. "Congregational Loyalty" was the sub ject of the address of Rev. T. O. Douglas of GrtnnelL . The keynote of his address was contained In his statement that the Congregational church was the mission church of the country. The Congrega tional church, he said, gave more pr capita for mission work than any other denomination and this, he said, was con ceded by all of the churches. The Con gregational church had also, he said, founded more colleges than any other de nomination. Rev. O. O. Smith of Orlnnell had to leave last evening for Clarion to attend another district meeting, so he took ths place of Rev. J. H. Skiles on the after noon program, speaking- on "The- Sunday School." He urged the Importance of the Sunday school work among the children and told of his work as state Sunday school superintendent. In the Council Bluffs association there were on January 1 last 38 Sunday schools and 3 Toung People's Societies of Christian Endeavor, the schools having a membership of Z,5ril, with an ayrerage attendance of t.173, and the' Christ laa Endeavor societies' a mem bership of LM9. On January L 193. there were 38 schools, with a membership of 4,774 and average attendance of 1,355. thus showing ' ' that wh this year there are three more schools, the membership has decreased, tn 1903 the number of Toung People's societies was the same. but the membership was 1.198, thus show ing- a good Increase for 1304. , Feraaal Orgawlaat lew.

MISPORTTSES COMB II DROTES Fir Caps the rilatax at the Ills at Beajaaala Orahl. The small frame cottage at CO Stutsman street, occupied by Benjamin Orahl and family, was completely ruined by fire yes terday morning and the furniture destroyed. The furniture was Insured, but It Is under stood that the house, which was owned by Mrs. Richardson, was not Insured. Testerd&y morning's fire Is but one of a aeries of misfortunes which Mr. Grahl and family have experienced during the last few months. Mr. Grahl had just re covered from a severe attack of diph theria when his children, one after the other, were taken down with scarlet fever. and It was only yesterday morning that the health authorities released the house from quarantine. Mr. Grahl. after sending his wife and three children across the street to the home of their grandmother, proceeded to fumigate the house. Ha stacked the furni ture ta the rooms and started the fuml gator going. He left the house for a few minutes while the fumigating was going on. only to find on his return that the house was on fire, and that one of the neighbors had turned In an alarm. Two of ths coencanios happened to be at tending a small Ore tn another part of the city and consequently there was some de lay ha the depart meat reaching the blase at the' Orahl bouse. Mr. Grahl. when he realised that his house was on fire and that there waa no possibility ef savins; any of his aouaahold goods, fell In a faiat and had to be carried to a neighbor's homes, where he la for several hours la aa auv- conscious condition. Owh-g to the weak state of his health Mr. Orahl was said last evening to be In a critical rondlton. Half an hour before the fire at the Orahl home, the department was called to 2407 First avenue, where a small barn belong ing to S. Leverage waa burned down. A small son of the owner was playing In ths barn with matches and started the blase. Leverage succeeded In removing everything from the barn before the arrival of the department. TEACHERS TO GET INCREASE 151 PAT Board Decides Flve-Dwllar Raise la Grades. The salaries of the teachers In the pub lic schools of Council Bluffs are to be raised. This was decided upon at the meeting of the Board of Education last night when action wss taken upon the report of the finance committee, made through Its chairman. Colonel W. J. Davenport. The report of the committee regarding the increase of teachers' sala ries was as follows: We have recommended an Increase of IS 00 In the teachers' fund with the view of recommending also the raising of salary paid to tke teachers in the grades. We require a high standard of qualities tlon In our teachers, and when we consider that we only furnish them nine months' work and pay for each year, our salary list is very low compared with other like employments. We believe the maximum of salary attainable In the trades should be raised to per month, and would recom mend that an advance of 15 per month be established for all teachers In the grades and that the maximum salary of each grade be fixed to lo In excess of the present standard. The recommendation was unanimously concurred In. It Is understood the Increase will not be made until the new school yesr. The recommendation to Increase the teachers' salaries formed part of the finance committee's report on the amounts needed for the maintenance of the schools for the ensuing year and which the board Is required to certify to for taxation pur poses. It was decided that 1735.000 would be required for the, ensuing year to main tain tke schools, and the board will cer tify to these amounts: Teachers' fund I T5.nrt Bonds and Interest 1V Avenue B school building fund 25.') Contingent fund 35.HM) Text books' fund 5.'X' Transporting children fund S.0ij0 Total 15&.10 The amounts certified last year were: Teachers' fund School house fund Tn.A Contingent fund 3o .') Text books' fund Total mM The committee suggested IO.OOO be levied for the bond snd Interest fund, but. In view of the other extra levies. It was de cided to postpone paying off any of the bonds for snother year and only levy HO.iXH for this fund, this being sufficient to meet thi annual Interest. The bid of Samuel Avery of for the Clark school property was accepted. Other bids were: R. 8. Green, 3300; V. L Case, im F. C. Ensign was re-elected principal of the high school. Mtss Lucille Porterfteld as supervisor of music and Mrs. Emma D. Ingalls as supervisor eX drawing and pen manship on recommendation of the teach ers' committee. . Superintendent Clifford reported that an unusual number of pupils were absent from school owing to an epidemic of measles and mumps. The sapenattAdent also reported that fire drills are bean; held every week In each of the schools' arid that the results have been most satisfactory. In reply to a question- from the board. Superintendent Clifford stated that Rev.

April 1 (SpeciaL) The members of the Iowa division of the Sons of the Revolution, assisted by the Daugh ters of the Revolution, this evening un veiled a tablet in the rooms of the State Historical department In honor of six rev olutionary soldiers who He buried In Iowa soil. Only a few years ago did It become known to the patriotic societies that any soldiers of the revolution had died and were burled In Iowa, and Investigation was set on foot to find how,many were thus burled. Five were found and In nearly every case the graves were neglected and almost for gotten. The legislature made provision for one monument and other graves have been marked; and after It was decided by the Sons of the Revolution to erect a tablet to their memory In the historical building still another grave was found, making six In all. The legislature appropriated 3100 to assist the order In paying for the tablet. The bronse tablet was unveiled this evening, the order having its annual meeting today.

An Interesting phase of the lockout and strike In the building trades In Des Moines developed today when It became known that builders had tried to purchase lumber and could get none at all, and that they had gone to towns In adjoining counties to buy lumber, planning to have It hauled across the country to Des Moines, but none could be secured in this way. It Is be lieved that there has been such a close or ganisation formed of dealers and merchants with the builders that no building can be done In any way until the lockout la raised. The merchants have refused to sell to la boring men who are not reprularly em ployed and this Is having Its effect on the situation. The business men s organ'ratlon has been holding regular meetings ani there is concerted action with the builders to force the striking electricians and paint ers to give In and to permit raising the lockout as to other trades. No effort has been made to resume business with non union men and the laborers have main tained sn attitude of Indifference. Graves Trial tor Marder. The trial, of C. W.
