NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Effo.ti Will Bs Mnd ] to K-cp lha Y , M , f , A. cu Its Feet. RESULT OF TH MEE11NG l-AST NIGH' ' CniiinillUrs Appointed tn Itnlen tlin 31 miry Needed lu Kcrp the Murk Irnm Oolnc by llernutt Tulle of Having- a Uulldliie , Twenty-five or thirty gentlemen and sev eral ladles met In the parlors of the Presby terian church last evening In rtiponse to the call for a public meeting to consider the financial situation of the Young Men'x ' Chrls- tlon association of Council Bluffs. Before the meeting wna ready to adjourn others kept dropping In until the room was com fortably fillul , W. W. Wallace was selected chairman and Chester Lawson secretary. Stcrctnry Wright had stated the association had been compelled to relinquish Its rooms In the Xferrlam block tor the reason that the rec'lpls did not begin to meet the require ments. Several directors ot the association fipoke frankly , and candidly admitted that the situation was so bad and the outlook so dark that the abandonment of tha norlc here seemed Inevitable. Dr. Phelps lamented the situation nnd rather thought the directors were tardy In making it known. The closing of the asso ciation would be n. calamity that would affect the whole city , If the proper effort was made money would be available for this grand work , the suspension of which would be a calamity to nil the churches and the city. He suggested that each of the churches call upon thes. organizations to assist In this work by giving so much each month and each year , and he believed that th.y would do so , and that all of tha churches would unite In helping , Charles Ofllcer said the association had a debt of { 1.100. and $250 would bo required to meet Its maturing obligation bclueen now and the 1st of January. The running ex penses amounted nt present to $115 a month , which was very much Ies3 than be fore the removal. He thought to Insure currying on the work for another year at least | 4,000 would have to be raised , even In the present limited quarters. Secretary Wright stated Ihat the mem bership when they left the Merrtam block was 240 , but It had rapidly declined since the removal. W , S. Homer thought the best plan waste to Make up an Interest among the people of Iho city , and begin by getting subscrip tions not only to wipe out the debt , but to build a new building. The association had paid enough In rent to pay for a building. Ottumwa and Sioux City had raised over JiO.OOO each for this ivork , and Council Bluffs was In better financial condition than almc3t any city In the west. It was finally decided that the best course to pursue was the appointment of a com mittee to raise money , and on , motion of Mr. Luring the chair appointed as such committee Mr. Keys , the president , Mr. Wadsworth , the financial secretary , and Mr. Homer , chairman of the building committee , each with power to appoint two subcom- mltteemen , and all to go to work , and raise the money necessary In the best manner possible. The discussions In , the latter part of the evening showed an awakening Interest In the association and a determination to put It upon Its feet once more , Thj Vigilant could beat the Vnlkyrle , but not the Britannia. No competitor could beat Dr. Price's cream baking powder. SCHOOL ito.\itu MIITIN : . Sten-urt und McGee lln-Klocleil W tlie OIIIcR of Secreiary anil Treiunrcr.

Hart was referred to the president and secretary , with power to act. Mamie Oliver , 319 Washington avenue , filed an application for a position as teacher , which was referred to the committee on teachers. Secretary Stewart stated that a difference of opinion had arisen as to whether the teachers should be paid for not teaching on Labor day , U was decldid unanimously that the pay should be for only the days on which the teachers worked , the contracts making such provision. A petition was presented asking that another teacher be engaged In the Thirty- second street school building to teach the fourth grade. Forty-eight names were signed. It was referred lo the chairman of the teachers' committee and the superin tendent. W. S. Paulson and a score or two of others presented a pet.tlon asking that an effrt be mada to Instil a little patriotism Into the ris ing generation by compelling them to glvo a military salute every morning. H was re ferred to a special committee , consisting of B , II. Fonda and M. D. Snyder. Cha rman Brldci.stein ot the teachers' com mltteo reported that Miss Dora Ilod had re signed her position and that Miss Mary Swire had been appointed to nil the vacancy , and that Fred Gross had been appointed to nil DID vacancy caused by the illness of Mrs. Morna Moore. He also stated that the Windsor Park school opened today , with an enrollment cf fourteen pupils.

Webster bo fixed at $7B per month , and the recommendation was con curred In. Chairman Moore of the fuel committee stated that all bids for fuel would bo In today noon and could be opened at the spe cial session to be held this evening. An insurance policy on the unsold school books for $1.500 was presented by an agent , together with a bill for JIG , The policy seamed to have been drown up without au thority from the board , and a motion to ac cept was defeated by a lie vote. A lone-winded discussion ensued with ref erence to the petition of several ptreons near the corner of Itcnton und Harmony streets , who wanted their children transferred from the Harrison Elreet building- the Pierce street or Washington avenue buildings. The members of the board took their after tea naps while the superintendent and the dis satisfied citizens had It out between them. The result was that the children will have to go to school In their own district. The present custodian of school books was continued for another year , on condition of hli filing a bond of 11,500. W. II. Thomas moved that J. J. Stewart be re-elected secretary for the coming year , but Fonda , wanted a ballot taken , BO as to give a republican n chance.

The sovereign grand lolg ? of Odd Fellows'inel this morning at Lookout Inn , and was welcomed tj this elate bj- Governor Turney tn a horpltuble speech , lie was followed by Major Ochs , wha welcomed the visitor * to Chattanooga. Tha response was made hy Oranil Sire C. l > . Campbell , who expressed the profound sense of Rratltwcle felt by the Odd Fellows at this dlstlngu shed \\ele me. Grand Sire Campbell - bell spoke ns follows In delivering his nn- nual nddress to the sovereign grn < V lodge : "Officers and llepreaontatlves ! Once more It Is my privilege to welcome you to the an nual session of the sovereign grand lodge. When you met In Atlanta twenty years ago the Jurisdictions forming the territory rec ognized politically as the southern slates contained Ions than 0,000 Odd Fellows ; today the brotherhood In the same section approxi mates GO.OOO , A net Increase during the year under tlio sovereign grand lodge of 32,897 , making at the end of 1S9J a membership of 750,192 , or. Including the sisters of the Ile- bekah degree , SSS.TIU. gives satisfactory evl- denc.e of solid growth. Adding some IT.,000 members In foreign jurisdictions shows a total of about 913.000 at the end of 1S93 , EXI'ENDKD FOR CIIAU1TT. "The expenditure of ? 3,313,000 tor purposes of relief Is a tmlllelent evidence of the ac tivity of OJd Fellowship. The condition of the order In foreign lands has not materially changed -during the year. Among the na tions of Europe very good progress has been made , as you will see by the report of our special deputy , Brother Merman Block. Among the Latin nations , whether In Europe or America , the returns are not very satis factory. In Sweden the stuto of the order has warranted me In acting on tlio authority you gave me last session , and I have Issued to the lodges In that country a charter for a grand lodge , The publication of the ritual in the Swedish language having l > een author ized by you , a translation was prepared by AmaclUa Ledge No. " of Sweden. During the year a number of residents of Naples , Italy , joined In a request for a. charter for a lodge In their city. I am prepared to recom mend that their request bo granted. "In the course of correspondence with Brother Block on the Naples petition , I had occasion to discuss with nlm u question which , while It has not attained any promi nence In connection with Odd Fellowship , has more or less affected other benevolent societies in Europe , and that : Is the develop ment of atheism among Certain classes of the people. Odd Fellowship , while It Is free from anything of a pectarian character , has always held belief in a supreme being as a cardinal principle ; and has maintained the fatherhood of God as a doctrine of equal Im portance with the brotherhood of man. Con cerning the qualities and'attributes of the Divine Father , It has tieAef undertaken to pronounce with authority nor does It ques tion the moral character and good citizenship of some of those who declare that they have no belief In a supreme being' It simply ex ercises the right of all voluntary associations to prescribe the qualifications for member ship In its own circle , 'And'It ' has Insisted , and does still Insist , that belief In Cod ! Is nec essary to attain or retdm a place within our ranks. L l' "Thfr only part of | ] fltVhr ( North America not hitherto occupied or us Is the1 colony of Newfoundland ; but a petition was received from St , Johns , the capital of tlio Island , a short time since and a charter granted for a lodge. "The only section throughout our entire Jurisdiction where peace and harmony does not prevail Is the state of Kansas. The situ ation there will be- brought to your attention and deserves your serious consideration. DRANG ! ! ORDERS DUSV. "The order of Patriarchs Militant has not been Idle , for some eleven new cantons have been mustered Into service since last Sep tember , The code that was adopted by the kov- crclgn grand lodge- last year for the govern ment of the Patriarchs Militant Is capable of considerable Improvement. The fact Is that It Is only a. modification of ihe old sys tem , without the advantage of a competent and elllclcnt stuff at headquarters for the general management. There are only two places for the proper management of an or ganization of this kind. One 1s a centralized government , subject only to general law. The first plan was tried for several years and the sovereign grand lodge concluded that It was more expensive than efficient. "The enthusiasm which has characterized the sisterhood of llebekah during thy past few years seems to continue unabated , At the end of 1893 there were 202,442 members In this department , of whom 108.C12 were sisters. At the same rate of Increase we may assume that there are today no less than 115,000 noble women united with us in benevo lent work , The laws governing this branch require a careful revision ; while the wishes of the sisters themselves , especially con versant as they are with the work , should receive from us the most careful considera tion. While our sisters of llebekah have as sisted all branches of the benevolent work of Odd Fellowship , they have rendered us special aid In establishing and supporting homes and orphanage. ) . And In no depart ment of our work has there lieen so decided progress as In making provision for the aged member and orphaned children. I have had the pleasure of Inspecting an orphanage In Lincoln , III. , where some eighty children are under the guardianship of our brethren In that jurisdiction. In an Institution complete with every appliance requisite for the pur pose. New York has provided an additional home which It was permitted to formally open only a few days ago. Pennsylvania , Massachusetts , Kentucky , Kansas. Texas and Wisconsin have excellent homes for the aged and for the orphans In active operation , while many other Jurisdictions are accumu lating funds and preparing buildings for this laudable work. "The work of the grand sire's office has this year been nearly doubled liy the extra labor Involved In the change of government of the Patriarchs Militant ijna for Its proper performance the whole-Uuje- your execu tive officers should hare Jieea given to the order. . uj "And , now , officers nnd representatives , the time" " draws near for me-tq return to you the trust which two years tagp you entrusted to me. I shall soon surrender executive control to an able and experienced , brother , liut the great work our arden strives to accomplish rests with you and /your brethren In the several Jurisdictions , t Tfl you Is entrusted the leadership of the ( movement that Khali hasten the establishment fit the Altrurlan age the age of which poeln have dreamed , for vvh'lch phllanthroplstanbaj'B hoped , but which Odd Fellowship has madei possible. May your enthusiasm bo unabated , j'our zeal undlmln- Ishcd , and may the t Divine blessing crown your labors with moati'awlfl ' success , Amen ! " ( Jraml Treasurer le&ioirfA.

The annual report , of Theodore A. Hots , rrand secretary mid adjutant general of the ndepmdint Order of Odd Fellow * , waa mode lubllc today. Mr. Rosa says the biHnsss < U > - > resilon throughout the country has retarded : hc growth of the order , lie says because of the great depression of business In every channel It was generally expected that the outcome would be worse , and , Instead of a let gain , as In 1893 , a loss of the order would jf n corded. The financial statement shows .hat $101,000 hai been , appropriated and S75.2S3 expended during the yonr. The grand ; reasurer has (33,251 cash on hand , J3 ,000 ) f railroad bonds , and other Items , making : lie total assets of the sovereign grand lodge (107,721. ( The secretary directs attention to [ ho fact that Ihe "color" question has arisen In the Hawaiian Island lodses. The consti tution of the Odd Fellows limits member ship to "fri < > white males. " Grand Sire Filter reports from the Sand wich Uiands : "We have members In our odgcs who are married to three-quarters whites and their children arc seven-eighths white. They are Just as fair as anybody born In the states- , arc American citizens and be long to our secret organization , and when Lhcy return to their mother's native country they ars not permitted to Join the order. I consider It a great Injustice. " AFFA1KS AT SOUTH OMAHA. Cniiiirllinun Wood KriilRii * Ilia In tin ! .MiUiriimnlr Hotly. When City Clerk Muley read the resigns- llon cf Councilman William M.
