TITE OMAITA DAILY BEE: MONDAY AUOrST 13, 1001. CURRENT COUNCIL WHO IS A SUCCESSFUL MAN? JUt. H. W. Starr Pointi Out Where Many Make a Mistake. WRONG MEASURE FOR SUCCESS IS USED Iadlrattena that Labor Is Gradually rroarrrssln to Defter Things, Tboaah Present System la Not Perfect. For the second of his series of sermons on the labvr problem Rev.. H. W. Starr, rector of St. Faul's Episcopal church, took 'as his topic ycrterday morning 'The Chris tian Standard of' Industrial Success." He aid In part: , . Theoretically this looks like a self-evident proposition, with only affirmative an swer. Vet, practically. It has been denied by every Industrial system of which we have any record. The science of political economy Is supposed to determine the right relations between capital and labor, yet Its standards in the past have been purely material. It has no regard for man as a man, but solely as an Instrument for pro ducing und distributing wealth. There has been no change In this attitude until re cent years. - ,' . The average business man In America use the old standard more than the new in determining any kind of Induxtrlnl suc cess. The individual Is said to be a success If he lax made a fortune and a failure If he has lost one. The newspaper has the blffffest nlnnt. mnat workmen, mrcest clr- , dilation h evidences of Its hucccks. The college hs Its success Judged by the amount of Its endowment or else of It a buildings or fnculty. Tho church has Its success Judged by the size of Its building, numlicr of rented pews, salary paid min ister, 'the nation Is often Judged by the same standard. Yet all these are purely material tests. They Indicate only ma terial success: thev have chiefly to do with food nnd raiment and very little to do with "life." They either positively' deny or else negatively Ignore Christ's question: "Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment?" Christ asks not bow muoh wealth a nation Is pro ducing, but what kind of men It Is making. The average business man of today Is inclined to say the chief business for men Is to make money; after he has made all the money he needs to carry out his plans, he can then turn his attention toward ministering to Ms Intellectual or aesthetic or spiritual needs. In other words, having first used himself efficiently as a tool for making money, he can then devote some email part of his - remaining lire to the 'making of character. Conditions Are-' Improving. 1 ' There are only four systems of employ ment slavery, feudalism, socialism and the wage system. Broadly speaking we may uv that the tendency-of the wage sys tem has been to separate men Into two classes, the tool-owners and the tool-users: for the Introduction of machinery and the organization or laDor nave oeen me iwo forces whloh are largely responsible for this change which has generally prevailed since the days of feudalism. ' The wage sys tem has aone hand -In- hand with modern civilization and has largely helped to make It what It is. Because, under thla system a few men have amassod such fortunes as were never dreamed of In other times. There la a common Impression that worklngmen of today . are receiving a smaller share of wealth and are Buffering greater hardships from the oppression ..of the propertied classes than they did before this change took place. That there Is some Justifica tion lor the feeling. I admit, and I shall try to discuss the system from that point of view next Sunday. But that the laborer today la generally In worse condition than he was under either slavery or feudalism or before the use of machinery In manu facture became general would be hard to prove, for all the facta nt hand would eem to Indicate the reverse. But. Kiutove tall 4 (lie 'materia? advantages which the Wage system has over slavery or feudalism or socialism. It certainly tends to produce better men. It demands and It also creates a higher Intelligence; It im poses responsibilities in proportion to one's ability to bear them: it stimulates a spirit of Independence, and It mal.es it perfectly possible for the most ambitious to rise u hlifh in the scale of success as hla own ability entitles him to rise. But this is tne nrigntor siae or ins picture, inere is another side also for we have not yet reached the perfect Industrial system. The workman still haa his grievance and cer tainly not ail of them can be said to be unjust. For Rent. .

When the ' report . of the finance com mittee on the proposed tax levy for 1904 Is presented to the city council tonight It Is expected there wfll be some alterations 4n the amounts suggested to be levied for joms of tha funds.. The committee decided on recommending a levy of 4 mills for the Improvement fund with the expectation that this fund could, be, drawn upon for tho dredging of Indian creek. There seems, however," to be a diversity of opinion as to. the right of -the city to use thla fund for such a purpose.' ' It has been pointed out that this fund is designed to meet tho cost of public Improvements, such as pav ing, curbing, grading, etc., where the abutting property Is of Insufficient value to bear the total assessment against It. Some of the aldermen are of the opinion that the city has no right to use this fund for such purposes as dredging tho creek. They contend that the cost of this work must be paid from 'the sewer fund or posithly from the contingent fund If It can be held that thla work was made neces sary by unusual or extraordinary condi tions, fhus warranting the use of the con- A FATAL ERROR.

On these two days the members of no less than three editorial associations of the stale will assemble here for their an nual sessions. The organizations to be represented at the meeting are the Upper Lies Moines, the Western Iowa and the Southwestern I6wa Editorial associations. The sessions of the Joint meeting of the three associations will be held at Lako Manawa In the Casino, which has been placed at the disposal of the visiting news papermen by the management of the re sort. Headquarters will be established -at tho Grand hotel. It Is expected that sev eral hundred of the "newspaper fraternity will be here. Privileges of the resort at Lake Manawa will be extended by the management to the visitors and the Joint meeting will. It la likely,' be devoted more to pleasure than to Dullness, although a program of papers and addresses of Interest to the profession has been arranged for the different session. According to present plans one of the features of the meeting will be a banquet, which will probably be held at the lake, al though this haa not yet been fully deter mined.

The Commercial club. It Is expected, will prepare some entertainment for the visiting molderg of public opinion during their stay in this city. Assault Not for Robbery. After making an Investigation yesterday the police are of the opinion that the as sault on Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Meade Satur day night was not committed by footpads, nor was It for the purpose of robbery. Mr. Meade has recently been engaged In locat ing homesteaders In Loup county, Ne braska, and It is alleged has aroused the enmity of some people Itj that county. The police said yesterday they were confident the assault was committed by two persons who had a grudge of some kind against Mr, Meade, and it waa their evident inten tion to lay him up so that he could not re sume his business of locating homesteaders for some time. This theory of the police regarding the assault they claim' Is sup ported by the fact that two men from O'Neill, Neb., were known to be in Council Bluffs Saturday and they were aald to have mnde Inquiries concerning Mr. Meade and his place of residence. The police yesterday were looking for the O'Neill, men. but It is believed they crossed the river to Omaha after committing the assault. Mrs. Meade's outcries,, which .aroused .the neighborhood,: It -Is believed alone prevented Mr. . Meade from being more seriously beaten than he was. N. T. Plumbing. Co. Tel. 290. Night. F6C7.

One of the most sensational af fairs of some years has Just come to light by the arrest of a welldlgger at Marne by the name of Snrenson. Some weeks ago William ffimpson. the Marne banker, re ceived a four-page letter which had been pushed through the back door of his bank, telling htm that unless 11,000 In gold wns left under a certain bridge about two miles north of Marne on a certain date the writer would assassinate Mr. Simpson, throw .acid In the eyes of his wife, kidnap his boy and burn his home. After consulting , with friends Mr. Simpson complied with the de mands of the letter, but had seven officers hid In the neighborhood of the bridge to i who got the money. No one appeared. however, and the money was taken back. A detective was employed ond put on the case, with the result th.-it Sorenson was ar rested. His examination was held before a justice in Atlantic Just evening, when he waived trial and van bound over to the granf- Jury In Il.MO bonds, in default of which he was locked up In the county Jail. The prisoner has a wife and two children, and Is well known here, where he has sev ers! relatives. Hrreni May Star I P. BTURQ13. 8. D.. Aug. 14.-Spclal Tele gram.)

POPULISTS TO HOLD STATE CONVENTION Called for Ds Maiaoa, Aisnt V, Bur in the State Fair Aaanal Report of School for the Deaf. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Aug. 14. (Special.) The fourteenth volume of the Iowa Geo logical Survey reports will be ready for distribution In a few days. It will be an unusually large volume, having 655 pages. but It represents the work of eight years In the investigation of certain matters. It Is a volume that is devoted entirely to the clay Industry of the state, to the clays of Iowa and the products thereof. The work has been in charge of Prof. S. W Beyer, of the Stale college at Ames, and one Of the special assistants In the geo logical survey, assisted by Ira A. Williams. Dr. Beyer entered upon investigation of this subjoct about elghr years ago. He has compiled here" the Investigation Into the number and extent of the cloy beds of the state, the character of the clays, the results of many experiments In test ing the clays and a census of manufactur ing establishments engaged In various clay Industries. The volume is profuse In il lustrations. It Is Intended to be and is a complete exposition of the subject, and to stand for many years as a final au thority on the subject. Here' axe maps and diagrams and description of machin ery. Dr. Beyer also includes In this re port the annual report on mineral indus tries of the state. The geological survey Is now ready to take up an investigation of the coal de posits of the state. Populists Call Convention. The convention of the populists of Iowa has been called to meet at the Iowa hotel In this city August 25, which Is during the state fair, so that persons attending will be able to take advantage of the reduced rates to the fair. The call Is is sued by J. R. Norman, of Albla, who is nominally state chairman. A state ticket will be nominated and also candidates for electors. The leaders of the party believe they will be able to gather a larger number than usual at this conven tion, as populist state conventions have been steadily growing smaller for a num ber of years. Report on Deaf School. The annual report of Superintendent Henry W. Rothert on the School for the Deaf at Council Bluffs shows that the ex penditures for the school year ended June 30 last amounted to J55.944.02. The report shows that there was produced at the school of farm products a value of $4,321.83; of manufactured stuff, SC46-95; from the sewing room, 1904.10; In printing, $637.75; at the bakery, $1,251.46. The report shows that eighty-seven counties had pupils at the school last year, the total enrollment being 145 males and 120 females; total, 265. Twenty-five left be fore the clone of the' year and three died. The average attendanco during the year waa 147 and a fraction.

Governor Cummins has issued a procla mation for Labor day In Iowa. September 5, In which he says: The general assembly of the state of lowa nas declared that tne nrst Monday of the month of September of each year snail be a public holiday and by expresa provi sion nas named it iuoor uay. inis legis lative action grew out of a deep apprecia tion of the modern struggle for the bet terment of industrlul life and a. recognition of the obvious fact that the safety of free institutions depends In large measure upon the welfare of the worklngmen and work ing women of the land. The legislation to which reference has been made Is an Im- f riled approval of the effortr of organised abor for letter wages and better condi tions, but it is also an implied command that whatsoever is done must be done under the law and in harmony with the spirit of good government. There can be no permanent Improvement save that which proceeds In an orderly way. The injustice repaired by force multiplies ItseJf. The problems which have appeared In the new phases of the relations between the em ployers and the employed should !e the themes both of discussion and reflection on Labor day, to the end that a better underatandlng of the rights of each may be created. At such a time It Is also fitting to remem ber how much has been accomplished In giving dignity to labor and happiness and content to laborers. To recall the ad vances made and to note how they have been made will help all the people to a truer knowledge of the forces which are carrying our civilisation forward. Hunters Are Cinched. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Aug. 14.-(8peclal.) Three men from Des Moines, la., whose names have not been ascertained, had a costly experience In Bon Homme county with the South Dakota game law. They must have been unfamiliar with the pro visions of the game laws of this state, which prohibits the kl'llng of prairie chlok ens prior to September 1, and were caught In the act of shooting prairie chickens. They were arrested on complaint of Henry Youngerman, game warden of Bon Homme county. Nine dead prairie chick ens were found In their possession. The prisoners were taken before a Justice, who imposed a fine of $10 for each bird and costs, aggregating $93.50. This Is the heaviest (Ins Imposed anywtiere In the state thus far this season for shooting chickens out of season. fiuardsinen In Cam p. HOT BPRING8, S. D.. Aug. 14.-(Special.)

ISLES OF. GREAT RICHNESS Little Flecks of Land In the PaelSe that Are Veritable Treasares to Mini. The recent voyage of the revenue cutter Manning, Captain McClellan'ln command, to the Aleutian Islands, on the coast of Alaska, has had memeorable results. Cap tain McCellnn found, the streams of Attn and of the other Islands crowded with salmon. On Buldlr Island. In 52 degrees and 30 minutes north, he found new fur seal rookeries. That this discovery may prove to be of great financial value may be real ised when It is considered that the rpvsnue from the rookeries of the Prlbllof Islands has amounted this far to over $.tO,000,000. On Umnak Island the revenue cutter steamed Into a harbor two miles long and three fourths of a mile wide. So strongly convinced are some of the alert men of tho northwest that tho Aleu tians are now destined to assume great Im portance In the affairs of the Pacific that a company has been formed to colonlzo the archipelago. Wharves and storehouses are to.be built and trading stations established. Stock raising Is to be begun first on Akun Island. There, It Is estimated, 60.000 head of cattle can find abundant pasture the year through. It la claimed that on account of the molli fying Influence of the Japanese current the Aleutian Islands have- a more desirable climate than any part of the Atlantic sea board north of Cape Hatteras. Aside from stock raising, general agriculture Is to be Inaugurated. It is stated that copper, oil and coal are found on the Islands, and that there la a great abundance of water power, as In Japan. One town, called Jar vis, has already been started In Lost har bor. The problem of transportation will not have to be solved, as In the Interior of Alaska steamers to and from, the Orient, Siberia, St. Michael and Nome now pass dally, within a few miles, of some of the best harbors In the archipelago.

LEADERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE END o Iterves Killed Monday at Klther of the thleaao Plants Operated by the Alleged Trsnt, NEW YORK. Aug. 14. No cattle were killed today at either of the so-called Beef trust plants, the 8chwarxchlld & fSulxbergcT company and the United Dressed Beef company. Although officials of both companies maintain that they have a sufficient force of men in the placcp of the strikers to kill up to their normal capacity. "We are sending out all the beef that Is demanded of us," said Frederick Joserh of SchwarschKd &. Bulsberger company to day. "We have a month's supply In our Ice boxes and by the middle of next week I expect to see beef at wholesale come down 2 cents on the pound because the market will then be glutted by supplies from the west We expect to start In kill ing tomorrow morning and by the middle of the week we expect to be running under normal conditions." Mr. Joseph refused to say from what source he was getting his men. Isaao Blemnthal, president of the United Dressed Beef company, admitted that no killing had been done in that plant to day, but said It was because the com pany had decided not to kill until a larger force of men Is available tomor row. Strikers llolrtlnst Ont. The strikers declare that the failure of the big plaints to kill today was due to lack of men. "Our men are sticking perfectly," said H, L. Elchelberger, general organizer of the strikers. "Instead of there being any defection from our ranks we have suc ceeded In getting some of the strike breakers to come out and Join us; Affairs are entirely satisfactory to us with one exception we would like to see this strike settled. "Whatever so-called bits of violence there have been I am convinced have not been at the instigation of the strikers or by them. It has been simply the 111 ad vised efforts of some sympathizers who we wish would stay at home and behave themselves."

The nature of this reported conference Is very Indefinite. It Is asserted positively by some of the labor leaders thnt a conference with the packers will be held, but the packers will not af firm or deny that such Is the c.!". Last night it was reported that a propo sition had been made to J. Ogden Armour Just as he was leaving this city for Bos ton, and he suggested that it b" submitted to the other prickers. This, It Is claimed, hajt been done by the labor lenders nnd the conference will be held In the morn ing. The only packer who would discuss the maJUer tonight was Ia F. Swift, and hi wns non-committal. The most specific I statement that he would rhnke was: i "80 far os I know, no conference will J lie held." Mr. Swift was Insistent that the I words "So far as I know" be Incorporated I In bis reply. The nature of the proposl ' tlon said to have been made to Mr. Armour : by the labor leaders Is not known, j At a meeting of the market wagon drlr ; ers, held this afternoon, It was decided to declare a boycott against such retailers as buy meat of tho packers where mon are now out. Tho men will, moreover, refuse to do any of the work that wns formerly done by the men now on strike. This Is the ex treme action that will be taken by the teamsteYs during the present struggle. There was very little rioting In the yards this afternoon and tonight. A number of men said to be nonunion men, employed In the stockyards, were attacked and beaten by strikers, and James Bristol, a molder, wns terribly beaten by two men who took him for a strike breaker.

TOWNCErJD, yearn. Before coming to Washlngtoi Roesselle and his father were marmgrr of the old Prlevsn house at the No York ripltnl, nnd It wna there he begs, to know the men who afterwards becara a power In the councils of the nntlot Rosi-oe Conkllng was probably the onl man who ever took a complete fnll on of Roesselle. Shortly after Conkllng' election to the senate, Roesselle, al welled up with pride, announced In hi most pompous tone that Confcllng 'woub make the Arlington hla Washington home that he had known Conkllng for year and that Conkllng tailed lilm Theodor and ho called Conkllng Roscoe. Event uaily the lordly Conkllng put In an J pearance. There was hustling to nnd tn about the lobby when the Imperious aen ator from New York placed hla handba on the clerk'a desk. Conkllng had not ya affixed hla name to the register whet Roesselle rushed out from hl room behlm the counter and said tn the most patron Ixlng way: "Roseoe, my dear boy, I an delighted to see you. It Is a grent pleaa ure to see you as one of the great met of tho nation, marching up to the cnplto of the United States." Conkllng pulled himself up to Ms mo superb height and then, with wltherlni scorn, aald to Roesselle: "I am senator U you, sir." Then he motioned to the lackej to take up hla luggage and ho went ovei to Wormley's, never setting foot insldt the Arlington from that day. Conklln and Vest Enemies. Speaking of Conkllng, the death of Sena tor George Graham Vest recnlla the fair that Vest never permitted Senator Conk llng to come voluntarily within the rung of hla vision. Tho two men never spoks tjut -once to each other while they were In the senate. The fact Is explained by tha Imperious temper of Conkllng and th sturdy Independence of Vest. Soon after the Missouri senator came to Washington he. In company with three or four new senators, was Introduced to Conkllng at tho citpltol. Among the number wtn a Jovial, whole-souled senator from the southwest, somewhat advanced In years. The day after they met Conkllng the were sitting In the senate lobby when tha door opened and In strode Senator Conk llng. As he entered the southwestern senator arose and,' extending hla hand, said: "Good morning,' Senator Conkllng. How are you?" , . . Senator Conkllng alightly nodded hla head, pressed hi thin, bloodless lip tlghby together and passed the. old sen ator by without further recognition. Sen ator Vest observed Conkltng's manner and keenly resented It. From that day he never spoke to Conkllng except as "The senator from New Vork." He took the position that he oould not permit ' himself to be exposed to the rebuff he had aeon administered by Conkllng to his friend, from the southwest. d.V ! . ri 1 l.- 7 1 y losing $15.35 $13.80 TOM HUGH EG, Trav.
