I'rovcitit of
The pupils of the senior nnd Junior clause *
known as the twelfth nnd eleventh grades ol
the High school will go to DCS Moines todav
to visit the legislature and thus secure n
practical lesson In civil government. There
will be about 100 pupils In the party , whlct
will bo In charge of Principal Clifford and hU
wjfe. J. K. Cooper , member of the Board ol
Kducatlon , will also accompany the party
and President Sims of the "board " will meet II
in DCS Moines. The trip to nnd from the
capital city will bo made In a special train
over the Uock Island , a special rate of $3 foi
the round trip having been secured for the
party.
tTho party will leave Council Bluffs at G 3C
o clock this morning nnd It Is expected the
run to DPS Moines will be made In about
three hours and a half , thus allowing the
pupils to bo present nt the opening of the
legislature nt 10 o'clock. Arrangements
have been made whereby the train will be
run through to East DCS .Moines without
stopping nn the west side of the river. This
will take the party to within a few blocks ol
the cnpltol building.
On reaching the cnpltol the party will be
divided , one-half visiting the senate first and
the other half the house of representatives.
When the session la about half over the two
sections of the pupils will change places In
the galleries of the two houses , thus ena
bling all to gather an Insight into the work
ings of both branches of the legislature Dur
ing the noon adjournment the party will par
take of lunch In the capltol.
At 1 30 In the afternoon Governor Shaw
will tender the party a reception In Ms
apartments and the state officers will ho on
hand to extend the courtesies of the building
to the visiting puplla. After the reception
the party will visit the several departments ,
the historical department , the library and
the supreme court room.
From 3 to 4 o'clock a rldo will be taken In
the cars around the city , arrangements hav
ing been made with the street railway for
two special cars The start home will be
made at 4 o'clock from the Rock Island depot
In West DCS Moines nnd the special is ex
pected to reach Council Bluffs about 8 p. m.
While it Is conceded that the trip will
form a good object lesson for the puplla
there are some patrons of the High school
who are opposed to It. In the first place
some pupils who cannot afford the expense
of the trip naturally feel greatly disap
pointed at not toeing able to form one of the
party. Then again , some of the parents , -ire
complaining nt the school being closed for
the day and their children deprived even for
ono day of its advantages. Tlio pupils of the
lower grades , who have been excluded from
the excursion , also feel that they have been
discriminated against nnd claim that ar
rangements could Just as well have been
made to take the entire , , school to Des
Moines , Instead of only a preferred few.
A number of the boys who had the- oppor
tunity to go to Des Moines preferred to take
a trip to the Union Pacific shops In Omaha
nnd arrangements have been made with fhc
officials of the company whereoy a party ol
them will DP permitted to visit the shops
thla afternoon and bo shown over the various
departments.
Lofton Her Arm.
IMrs. Charles L Frlsby was run down by
a motor yesterday on South Main street at
the Intersection of Tenth avenue and re
ceived Injuries which necessitated the ampu
tation of tbo righfa arm above the elbow'
and the left leg between the ankle and the
knoe. The operation was performed yes
terday at the Woman's Christian Associa
tion hospital , to which place she was re
moved Immediately after the accident , Mrs
Frlsbybo is19 years of age and lives
at 117 Twelfth avenue , rallied well aftei
the operation nnd the attending ph > siclans
had strong hopes of her recovery
( Mrs Frlsby alighted from a southbound
Main street motor car at Tenth avenue and
crossed behind It In order to reach the op
posite side of the street. She stepped on to
the east track , directly In front of ono of the
largo motors going north and before the
motorman , Harry Brcoks , could stop the
car , It struck l-er and she wns thrown be
neath the wheels Fortunately the car was
running slow , as otherwise she would have
been ground < o death beneath the wheels
She was extricated as soon as possible ,
when It was frund that her right arm nnd
left leg were badly crushed and broken ,
After being taken to tbo hospital she was in
such a state of collapse from tbo shock that
mt first It was thought she would succumb
to her Injuries and the physicians decided
to pcstpono the operation of amputating
the limbs until later In itbo day , should slio
survive that long. Mrs Frlsby's husband
was formerly Janitor for Deere , Wells & . Co
In this city nnd Is now In the employ of
Docro & . Co. in Omaha Parties who wit
nessed the accident say no blame was at
tached to Motorman Brooks.

The Board of County Supervisors put In
tlio morning jesterday considering the mat
ter of the contract for country printing
which was awarded to the Now Nonpaieil
company at tbo commencement of the yoai
at the piiccu which governed the previous
contract. When the New Nonpareil com
pany presented Its bill jcstcrday It was dis
covered that the prices charged In a num
ber cf Instances weio higher than the pro-
vlous contract called for Foi Instance the
pip | < ; charge 1 under the old contiact for na-
ccjaurs' book WIIH $1 per book , but In the
bill presented yesterday $1.S7& was charged
for such books After dlscursing the mat-
U'r the whole meaning , the board Dually de
cided to allow the bill , but the matter ol
the contract and the tchcdulo of prices to be
charged under it was referred to tlio com-
roltteo ou printing , consisting of Supervisors
Brandrs and MatthoAs and County Auditor
Innej A petition from tbo residents of the

Justice Vlcu , according to arrangement ,
will today baud down his ruling In the
search warrant proceedings under which n
quantity of oleomargarine alleged to have
bwi colored contrary to the Iowa law was
seized at the groicry store of KM Brown on
Broadway , Ho will hold that as the supreme
premo court of ( be United States lus de
cided that a state la * prohibiting the nalo
of oleomargarine because It la colored la un
constitutional tlio oleomargarine In oilglna
pickagca which was seized must be returns
lo Brown As the supreme court Ins he !
that states have the right to enact laws reg
ulatlng Iho snlc of oleomargarine so tlm
purchasers may not ho deceived ns to wha
they nro bujlng JuMlco Vlen will rule thn
the oleomargarine In tuts nnd from vvhlcl
imall quantities were sold by Urovvn to dlf
fercnt customers must be confiscated. Hi
makes this latter ruling on the ground tha
while thu tub Is marked oleomargarine tin
fact that the contents were sold out In poum
quantities or even less leaves room for fraud
Inasmuch ns It would bo preslhlo to sell I
for the genuine article of butter , ns the pur
chaser would not receive the entire orlglna
package nnd It might be placed In the stori
vvhcro the customer would not be able to se-i
H It Is very probable that the case may b <
taken to the supreme court

DBS M01XUS. Jan. 31-Special ( Tele-
pram ) Ullls bearing on national guard
legislation came Into the lower house ot
the legislature today The most Important
Is that changing the present law governing
the guard organization. The proposed mcna-
me , which Iwm been drawn up by Adjutant
General U > era nnd approved by the military
mcmbeis of the legislature , Is In line with
the governor's recommendations except ns
lo the ofllco of colonel , which the governor
thought should bo left vacant nnd filled by
regular army officers , when occasion de
manded. The bill continues ) the election of
roloncl ns formerly at docs nvvay with
brigade organizations , which are acknovvl-
' edged to bo top-heavy divisions In the guard
I The salary of Adjutant general was raised
from $1,500 to $2,000 and n bill Introduced
to appropriate $75,000 for an nrsonal
Three bills bearing on the support ot the
state Institutions were Introduced into the
Bcnnto this morning. The first provided tor
the levy of a tax which will realize not
| less than $1,316,000. to be apportioned by
| the boanl among the Institutions for support ,
now buildings and contingent and rcpilrs
The second provides a per capita appropria
tion for each Inmate sufficient to pay all ex
penses except new buildings , , and the third
nslcs for $125,000 to cover all contingencies
I and repairs.
j Hlncklc ot Wayne Introduced a bill In the
house for woman suffrage. In the senate
this morning Senator Blanchard Introduced
a resolution for a joint convention to beheld
hold on Trldny for the purpose of electing
a state printer and binder. This precipi
tated a fight on the fioor and the matter
wont over. U Is still believed the offices
of state printer nnd binder will be abol-
[ Ishcd.
I The Hoard of Control appointment Is the
i ono topic ot conversation about the legls-
. latlvo halls ( Indications are that the com-
| mltteo to which the nomination was rc-
. ferred will put off making a report until
the latest possible moment. Yesterday
when the committee met the two anti-Hood
supporters , Lambert and Finch , asked that
I the name bo passed upon at once , but the
I other three members , Blanchnrd , Trevv.ln
and Young , Insisted that moio time should
I bo given to let the people of the stnto make
' their wants known In relation to the ap
pointment and carried the day. This Is
taken an an Indication that the Rood people
ple want all the tlmo they can get to change
matters , if possible. Another story which
has been a matter of dispute 1s the ( nter-
vlew which appeared In several papers and
i purporting to cnmo from ex-Governor Lar-
I rabeo , as an endorsement for Colonel Hood
, for the appointment. A Bee rcpiescntatlvo
has seen a telegram from ox-Governor Lar-
rabec , dated at Independence on January
30 , nnd stating that ho was urging the ap
pointment of no man for the place. It Is
believed when the final action comes at
least thirteen democrats nnd nine repub
licans will vote agalhst confirmation.

iiUoii of the Petition.
DCS MOINES. Jan. 31 ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Anti-Saloon league through its
attorney , Uov. I. Cmory Pearson , today
filed with the city council a protest against
the further consideration of the saloon pe
tition , alleging that it contains a large num
ber of forged names ; that it was based on
the election of 1808 , but filed after the elec
tion of 1899 , and that there Is no valid basis
on which to base the petition , now that
the saloons have been closed by the opinion

Thn Missouri Historical floclety held ltt >
nnnual business mooting last night , reports
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
At the conclusion of the business ocMlon
the society wna addressed by Judge Shnpard
Barclay , eK-chlef justice of the supreme
court ot Missouri , on the subject , "Historic
Controversies over the Boundaries of Mis
souri " Judge Uartiay opened his paper hv
briefly referring to some of the disputes over
boundaries which nrose before ; Missouri's
admission to the union.
Judge Barclay told how he had filet become -
como Interested In the boundary dtap'ltca '
while on the bench. He iccallcd nn InHtanco
of n man being killed aboard a steimcr on
the Mississippi ilvor , na It lay nt anchor
near the Illinois shotu , opposite , St Louis.
After the killing the question nroto as to
whether the courts of Illinois or iMIssoinl
had Jurisdiction ever the case. This inci
dent occasioned Judge Barclay to go back
to the iccords of 1818 , when Illinois wns
admitted Into the union , by which he nscei-
talned that 'the ' western boundary of the
state wns fixed In the center of the channel
of the Mississippi river. The same imaginary
line was designated ns the eastern boundarj
of Missouri when the state was admitted
into 'the ' sisterhood In 1820.
The first serious controversy Missouri had
over boundaries was with Iowa. This dis
pute ran through several > oars nnd In
volved n strip of territory ten miles In width
by 200 in length History showed that the
Inhabitants of this strip voted in Missouri
elections and possibly lit those of Iowa , too ,
Judge Barclay said nnd were anxious to bo
consldeied ns citizens of this state. But the
unsettled condition of things gave rise to
many arguments , and once a Missouri sheriff
who had gone into the section to aricst
a man was himself taken Into custody by
the Iowa authorities. Finally the matter
was taken Into court and the northern
boundary of IMIssourl was then established
as being about midway between the north
ern and southern lines of the disputed sec
tion. The line between the two stiutcs was
then marked by iron posts sunk in the
ground at stated distances. Subsequently
tht ) boundary marks between Mercer county ,
Missouri , and necatur count > , Iowa , disap
peared nnd the old dispute rearoac , making
necessary another survey.
Mlceaurl's next dispute over Its bounda
ries was with Kentucky. Both states
claimed Wolf Island , a tract of 15,000 acres
situated In the Mississippi river between
the two states. Originally the main chin-
nol of the river ran eaet of the island ,
Judge Barclay said , and so it came to be
olalmed as Missouri soil , and was held to
toe a part of New Madrid county So
strong was this conviction that a citizen
of the island had once been elected as the
sheriff of New Madrid county. The dis
pute wao taken into the federal courts and
was nt last settled In favor of Kentuckj.
Tbo next case of disputed territory was
between M'ssouri ' and Illinois over the pos
session of Arsenal Island , lying oppcsitc
St. Louis. Neither state was vitally con
cerned In tl > ls dispute , as the suit to estab
lish Its rightful ownership Was brought bv
a citizen of Illinois , who claimed It as n
part of St. Clalr county. The Island was
valued at $16,000 , and the case was fought
by the city , as the land had been leased by
the school board , to which it was supposed
to belong. This case was also In the courts
a long time nnd was finally decided by the
United States supreme court against MIs-
fjourl. This island had the unhappy faculty
of drifting from one side of the river chan
nel to the othci.
Missouri next had n dispute with Kansas
involving the western boundary of the state
Knnpas claimed that the eastern shore of
the Missouri river formed the western
boundary of this state. Missouri contended
that the center of the channel was the di
viding line. Suit was finally entered In the
court to decide the question , which Involved
tha ownership of what lo known as the
Platte purchase and the dlsclsion was In
favor of Missouri
A suit Involving the ownershop of an Is
land In the Missouri river between Mis
souri nnd Nebraska Is now pending in the
couits The disputed tract comprises 15,000
acres of land.

Old Thpor > Cniit-criiliiK nmpty Stomach
ach IUniro\ | | by Diic-torx.
Doctors now agree that a night repast be
fore going to bed Is not injurious at all , aa
the old-fashioned practitioners argued , but
n healthy practice Instead. It stands to
reason , says ono well-known authoilty on
nerves and digestive disorders , that as In
the early routine of the average person five
hours elapse between the three ordinary
meals , and as the stomach In a healthy In
dividual Is empty three hours after digestion
begins It is neither wise nor necessary for
thn stomach to remain empty from , say , 0
o'clock In the evening till 8 o'clock the fol
lowing morning , a period of eleven IIOUIH ,
should there bo n craving for food during
the Interval. Some physiologists hold that
the stomach should be allowed this period of
complete rest and that In consequence It IB
better to go to bed fasting rather than to
satisfy the craving for nourishment , but If
the food eaten Just ticforo retiring Is of an
caidly digested character the tax upon the
stomach Is not sumclently great to deprive
It of the rest which Is necessary for Its
proper action the succeeding day
Nothing better can bo suggested than a
glassful of milk , but It should always bj at
a blood heat. Cold liquids taken Into the
stomach nt such a time will do harm rather
than good , for In that case the blood Is not
drawn to the stomach with thu same rap
idity nnd In the tmmo quantity as whnn
warm llquldH nro taken. In a srcat many In-
! > tanrcs long-continued Insomnia may bo
completely eureil after nn Interval of say n
couple of weeks by the steady adherence to
such regimen
The hnblt of taking a I > ot1e ! > of cold beer
previous to retiring for the night Is not n
good one , although ninny people Indulge In
II for the purpose of promoting sleep. Tha
hops contained In the beer undoubtedly have
n soporific effect but the stomach Is chtllol
by the cold fluid nnd the sleep produced Is
not of a natural character. Then , too , the
beer IH tnercl ) absorbed without requiring
the action of digestive organs. It congests
the liver nnd kldne > s and the effect the next
day Is ono of depression , which would not
hnvo occurred had eomo food of light char
acter requiring digestion been taken In Its
plaee.

that they form the steel wire within the
rope of brotherhood which tends to hold

sional drawbacks , failures nnd disappoint
ments in the system of Insurance cm-
ployed" No doubt , as line been observed
by Mr. Slovens , the members nre able to
contemplate failures here nnd there with
condlderable equability In view of the fact
that similar failures are not unknown in
the circle of old line companies. In the last

Here , then , are ten societies which hnvo
disbursed In their lifetime the enormous
sum of $253,918,000 to their beneficiaries
The rapid growth ot these ordeis may he
known when it Is said that the Woodmen
wrote $120,000,000 In new insurance laet year ,
while the Workmen wrote nearly as much.
"figures such as have boon given , " sajs
Mr. Stevens , "auggcbtb a calculation of
management per capita. Among the six
fraternal organizations in which the ex
penses exceeded $100,000 per annum In 1897 ,
the lowest was the Royal Arcanum , 62 cents ;
the next lowest the Modern W'oodmcn ,
87 cents ; after which came the Maccabees ,
the annual outlay for management of which
wa 14 cents , nnd then the Knights of Honoi ,
at a cost of $1.23. The average cost of
management In twenty -seven leading fia
ternal orders was $1 03 in 1897 , as against
J1.4S fifteen years before In thirty societies
the rate of mortality during the third year
of existence of each averaged 4 10 per 1,000 ,
vhlle during 1897 ( an average of from fif
teen to eighteen years afterward ) the death
rate was 9.5 per 1,000 In many of these
cotrpanles the death rate and the cost for
Insurance has doubled In the time given "
Altogether there are 2,600,000 members in
Lun 200 fraternal Insuianco societies of the
United States This is more than the
lotal of policy-holders In the old line com
panies , ns they number but 2,106,274 De-
Lember 31 , 1898 , the old line companies had
f5 , 700,000,000 worth of Insurance In force ,
wltoreaH the fraternal rpmpanlcs had but
3 , 400,000,000. , The total expense of manage
ment of tbo old line companies In 1898 was
$71S98fi01. $ as against but $3,580,380 for
the fraternal orders. Thus , with inure than
half the business the fraternal orders are
: cirylng on their management nt about one-
twentieth the cost mndo by the old com
panies.
