tloii for lllwh School Site.
I. N. Fllcklnger , ono of the attorneys who
has been most prominent In pushing the
light against the Oakland avenue site for
the now High school building , suggested
yesterday that the board purchase the Bol
lard property , directly west of the Grand
hotel on First avenue , as being about the
most central location In the city. This
property Is at present the subject of liti
gation between the heirs of the late Mrs.
Borah J. Ballord , but Mr. Fllcklnger stated
that ho was given to understand that the
heirs would bo willing to make the title
good. The money would have to bo paid
Into court and the heirs could then fight
ever that.
The property In question Is 150x192 feet
, nnd it is said that the heirs would be will
ing to let It go for $12,000. In connection
with this It has been suggested by some
that the city build a public library in con
junction with the High school on this site.
The law permits a city with a population
o over 25,000 to levy a tax for the purpose
of erecting a public library. The last cen-
BUS did not give this city 25,000 population ,
but It is contended that the new census
will show over 25,000 inhabitants.
As to the board applying for a writ of
cortlorarl In the district court to test the
correctness of the decision , Mr. Fllcklngor
nays that is all nonsense. The district court ,
ho claims , has no Jurisdiction In such cases ,
ns the courts have always hold that the de
partment of public Instruction Is the proper
tribunal to try such matters and has \o
qucntly refused to entertain similar ques
tions. Mr. Fllcklnger stated further that
Bio was not In favor of any particular site
and that so far In the litigation he has paid
all his own expenses and has net received
n dollar from any ono. He thinks the mom-
bore of the school board should get together
nmlcably and select some slto south of
Broadway and west of Main etrcot.

That the sorrow and sympathy felt for
the traglo death at Manila of the bravo
young officer and his bereaved parents was
gouoral throughout the city was made man
ifest yesterday afternoon by thn 'largo
number of citizens and sorrowing friends
who attended the funeral of First Lieutenant
John Lcland Moore of Company L , Fifty-
nrst Iowa volunteers. Every Boat In the
First Presbyterian church , where -tho eer-
vlcca were held , was occupied and many
were unable to get even Inside the doors.
The funeral was carried out with full mili
tary honors and the cortege that followed
| the remains to their last resting place In
Falrvlow cemetery was a most Imposing
one.
Escorted by the High school cadets under
Major I acoy , the body , encased In the casket
In which It was shipped from the far-off
Philippines , was brought from the residence
of the parents , Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Moore on
Sixth avenue to the church and placed be
fore the chancel , which had been transformed
Into a perfect bower of palms. Wrapped
around the casket were the Stars and
Stripes , on which reposed many beautiful
floral offerings. Conspicuous among the
floral tributes were a set piece representing
the Eighth Army corps badge , from the
I ex-members of Company L ; a beautiful
shield In red , white and blue , the offering
, of the members of the ti. I. E. club ; an Im
mense bunch of rod roses from the women
of the Sanitary Relief commission and an
other from the members of the Council
Bluffs Woman's club. The members of the
Sanitary Relief commission , the Woman's
Roll of corps , the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic , the High school cadets -
dots , ox-members of Company L , the county
and city officials and members of the dis
trict court and grand Jury , who attended In
a body , occupied seats that had been es
pecially reserved for them.
The crowd was so great that oven with
the largo room to the right of the main
auditorium thrown open the church was 'on-
able to accomodato all. Hon. John N.
Baldwin and Adjutant General Byers occu
pied seats In the chancel on either side of
Rev. W. S. Barnes. The services , which
wore most Impressive , were opened with the
singing of "Nearer My God to Thee" by the
Dudley Buck quartet , consisting of Messrs.
Treynor , Sims , Rlgdon and Altchlson , ac
companied by Miss Witter.
Eloquent Tribute.
The pastor , Rev. W. S. Barnes , made a
short but eloquent address , saying In part :
The authorities of the United States have
transported this body 10,000 miles for its
burial. This fact alone Is significant of the
high estimation in which our country holds
Its soldiers. It Is chiefly for the comfort of
the parents who sacrificed their son on the
altnr of their country that this body , after
its long Journey , is here to be committed to
its last resting place.
A body is not much without the ECU !
which animates it ; yet the body of this
good soldier is worthy of all that has been
done to honor it. No spot Is more tenderly
cared for than the graves of our loved ones
and the place where L/leutenant John Moore
Is buried In Council Bluffs will be dear , not
onlv to his parents , but to the people of the
whoi. ) city. Today we honor his memory.
Memory playe a large part In this service.
A thousand m norlea of home scenes are
tnls < ia.v tlncr.glnp through the memories of
these pjirents. We know so little ; we sur-
mlso fo much. Ifnt when we received the
moaper reports from' Manila our sym
pathies went out to the young soldier whose
labors Imposed a strain too great for his
strength. He gave his best devotion to his
country. May the discomforts and priva
tions which ho underwent enable us to ap
preciate better the sacrifices our soldiers
are making , and may the thought of their
sufferings Inspire us to higher living. May
the God of Mercy soothe the Bufferings of
this bereaved lumlly.
John N. Dnlclvriii SiicnUM.
Following the singing by the quartet of
"There Is a Calm" Hon. John N. Baldwin
spoke as follows :
The friends of Lieutenant Moore believe
that It Is lilting and appropriate that a few
words should be spoken concerning his life
and dee < ds by one of the laity In addition to
the Impressive services which an intelligent
people always hold and the beautiful cus
toms which a righteous people always ob
serve at the burial of their dead.
This unueual ceremony is not due to the
fact that Lieutenant Moore loft behind him
a record of civil and military achievements ) .
Nor would we speak on this solemn oc
casion because he was a loving and lovable
boy , a young man of excellent character In
whom as an only child had been placed the
hope of a father and the prldo of a mother.
We are here to strew his bier with flowers
and ouloglums because he Rave up his life ,
while struggling for the rights of man , for
a foreign people on a foreign shore ; because
he was devoted to hla country's flag and be
cause ho early in his history and during h's
life J.-JVO evidence of his willingness to light
for his country's honor and his readiness. If
needs bo , to die for It.
Lieutenant John Leland Moore Inherited
all the attributes and qualifications of the
soldier. Ills ancestors were soldiers in the
war of the revolution. Those next succeed
ing fought In the wars of 1S12 and 1815 and
his grandfather and eijrht great uncles
fought all through the war of the rebellion.
Lieutenant Moore enlisted at the age of
IS In 189U in the Iowa National guard ns a
private. He was made a second lieutenant
by Governor Drake In 189C and first Htfu-
tennnt gf Company L , Flfty-Ilnrt Iowa
volunteers , by Governor Shaw In 1898 , and
\vt\n In command of Company L when he
ili l near Manila at the < ige of 27
Oh. how sad nnd untimely was th'ls Htroke
of death. Just as ambition was leading
him to the battlefield ; Just an fancy was
weaving In his brain the garland he hart
lonued und hoped to wear ; Just as duty was
calling him to perform well his part ; Just
as the Immortal spirits of his1 ancestors In
dreamlike form nnd mazy motion beckoned
him forward , forward ; Just as glory was
shedding her luster over his soldierly deeds ,
Ills life went out.
Lot us in this trying hour when reflecting
over tha unfortunate ending of this young
llfo , as the chords of sympathy are 10
touched that wo are all In tears , endeavor
to liulloye and fool that all Is1 not lost be
cause Ills earthly career hns closed. He
lian left a rich memory. When his coun
try called ho responded nobly , and promptly
sprang to command and lead , He fotiKht
for liberty and humanity , HP upheld the
flair. The foundation stones of free Insti
tutions are not laid In lime nnd water , but
flesJi and blood. Lieutenant Moore's blood
( lowed with others to cement Cuban free
dom with Chrifttan liberty. This Is a
Klorlous record to bequeath , a masnlflcent
example to emulate and Imitate. He died
before the CAUMJ for which he fought had
finally triumphed , but his blood and f > ncrl-
flco will Inspire his comrades to follow
on to victory.
Were It In my power I would build over
his crave n stately ehaft and engrave there ,
on his own words ; contained In ono of his
last letters home. Words so simple they
are beautiful , so patriotic they are sub
lime. He wrote ;
"They uay that these islands are not worth
the llfo of ono man. but I toy that Is not
the question. We are flghtlnrr for our coun
try , because they e y to fight , and are
flphtlng for the same government , that so
many irrmit and peed men have given their
lives willingly for. "
Glorious , noble , heroic dead ! Thp shaft
over your crave may commemorate your
deeds , Poetry and eloquence may embalm
your memory , but these Inspired wordu will
endure longer than marble or brass and
wH | bo treasured and kept warm in the
hearts of these who are to coma and bo
quoted to flro them with noble and patri
otic ambitions.
"They never fall who die
In a great cause. The block may soak
their pore.
Their heads may sadden In the sun , their
limbs
Bo strung to city gates and castle walls ;
But still their spirit walks abroad. Though
years
Elapse and others share as dark a doom ,
They but augment the deep and sweeping
thoughts
Which overpower all others and conduct
The world at lost to freedom. "
We of the Christian faith do not know ,
but we believe , that when death's cold kiss
made our friend dreamless here forever-
more. Instantly hc felt the warm touch of
the Infinite and became Immortal. Wo do
nbt know , but wo believe , that whate'er
his sins nnd faults may have been , he was
cleansed In Christ's stream of mercy and
ho Is now whiter than snow.
Wo do not know , but we. believe , that
whllo we are chanting his requiem and our
muflled drums are beating his funeraJ
march , hn Is uplifting his voice with the
choir Invisible , and with Cherubim and
Seraphim slnplng , "Holy , Holy , Holy ; Lord
God of Snbaoth. " "Wo do not know , but we
believe that ho now stands In the glorious
presence of our Savior waiting for the com
ing of his mother to take her to his arms
and hold her In soft embrace forever ajid
forever.
After prayer by the pastor the services
were brought to a close by the singing of
"Lead Kindly Light" by the quartet.

Lieutenant Moore was born at Parkman ,
O. , August 27 , 1872 , and was therefore
not quite 27 years of age at the time of his
death. Ho was a grandson of the late N. D.
Smith of Goauga county , Ohio , a gallant
officer of the union army. He removed to
this city with his parenta , Mr. and Mrs. A.
B. Moore , when ho Tvas ten years of age ,

school and Tabor college. In 1890 ho enlisted -
listed In the Dodge Light Guards ns a pri

IOWA CITY , la. , Sept. 15. ( Special. )
The State university of Iowa has a presi
dent. Everybody knows it now. When
President MacLean addressed the first con
vention of students , who had marched In a
procession several blocks long 'to the opera
house yesterday afternoon , he won the re
spect , eateem and affection of every man
and woman present. The students cheered
to the echo when Acting President Currier ,
In Introducing President MacLean , pledged
hinj the hearty support of the faculties and
students. <
Responding , President MacLean spoke for
half an hour words that will be long 10-
memborod by every ono who heard them.
Referring to the students and faculties as
members of one university family , he said
that the State university of Iowa must be a
Christian school , according to the ordinance
by which It has been given support. There
are two kinds of schools In Iowa , church
