LEWIS CUTLER FUNERAL DIRECTOR (Successor to W. C. Eatsp) F3&AHL TBKIS'r. 'PkB T. BLUFFS. WORKMEN ARE OUT IN FORCE Session of Grand Lodge Openi with a Largs Number in Attendance, CHANGES LIKELY IN THE ORGANIC LAW Grand Master Workmaa Narrls and Grand Recorder RehkoaT tsssl monsly Re-Elected for Another Tern. Grand Master Workman Will M. Narvis la hi annual report read at the opening session Tuesday morn Id g of the Twenty alxth seasloa of the Iowa grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen made three Important recommendations: That the sessions of the grand lodge be held biennially Instead of annually; that subordinate lodges elect officers annually Instead of every six month, a at present; that the grand recorder be paid a commen surate salary and the question of amount of clerical aeakstance he provided for by a separate appropriation under the super viaon of the finance committee. The adoption of biennial sessions was recommended aa an economical policy. The annual sessions of the grand lodge since 1894 hava cost the order for per diem and mileage alone an average of nearly $3,000, and with the other expenses the average cost haa teen at leaat $3,500. After giv ing figures to prove this statement Grand Master Workman Narvla said In his report: If we were to change from the annual to biennial seselons we could advantageously use this amount in the employment of two more field men, which ought to mean an Increase In our revenues beneficiary and general besides the great benefit In every other way. The opportunities are now af forded ua to push forward, and we should avail ourselves of every chance to advance the work of the order. The tendency of all fraternal Institutions of thla character Is toward biennial or triennial sessions, for the reason that it affords the opportunity to use the funds paid for expenses of an nual sessions for development of field work, which to my mind Is one of the most Important matters to be taken up at thla session. I therefore recommend that the question of biennial sessions be care fully considered at thla session, and that It be made the policy of thla grand lodge. There la lesa of a tendency to political work In this order than any other order that I know of, and I believe a change of thla kind can be mad without any friction whatever. Advavntaaje of Longer Terms. Regarding his recommendation that subordinate lodges elect their officers for one year in place of for six months, the grand master workman said that If offlcer were elected for a year Instead of the shorter term they would take pains to commit the ritualistic work and would how more Interest and seal In the lodge meetings to the end that the lodges would ha greatly benefited a well as tb order at large. While a number of the delegates are fa vorable to the annual sessions, which they believe tend to revive Interest and eonduce to fraternal feelings by the frequent re unions aa the session are. It Is apparent that many indorse the recommendation of the grand master workmaa and that fa vorable action will be taken on It. There alio appears to bo no doubt that the rec ommendatlon aa to the subordinate lodges electing officer annually Instead of half yearly will be adopted. Under the present system the grand re corder receives a salary of $2,500 a year, but out of thla be haa to pay all the cler ical assistance la hi office, which with the Increasing business of the order reduces his personal compensation to a mere nothing. The recommendation of the grand master as to the salary of the grand re corder waa received favorably and the grand lodge is expected to take action la accordance with his suggestion. Increase In Membership. HIS report Showed that th mamharahl. of tha ordsr In Iowa on March 1, 1902. was 12,180, aa against 11,604 on July 1, 1901, a gain In eight months of 576.

SMALLPOX IS AN EXPENSIVE VISITOR City of Des Moines Spends Al f 100,000 In Flghtlna- the Disease Darin; the Past Year Indian Finds Valuable Pearls. (From, a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 14. (Special.) The supreme court convened today for tb May term, with all the judges present, but a rather small attendance of the prominent lawyer of the state. A law class of thirty was turned over to the bar commission for examination for admittance to the bar. The court rendered a number of decisions and commenced the hearing of oral arguments In others. An Interesting case decided was one from Page county, In which a verdict for dam ages was obtained by Sarah and W. II. Wllfong. Tbey were struck by a train on the Omaha St. Louis railroad and in jured. The testimony showed that Wolfong stopped his horses Just before crossing the track and looked up and down the track to see If a train was coming, but it was just at a cut in the road and he failed to see a coming train which was late and on which the whistle was out of order. Suits were brought by both for damage and verdicts secured. The supreme court re versed the case as to the wife and sustained the lower court aa to the husband, the sole point at Issue being whether or not the duty of the wife as to looking for herself Is the same as for the husband. The court held that the doctrine of Imputed negli gence as between husband and wife which presumes that the wife Is In the care of the husband and has a right to rely on him has been repudiated In this court and that she waa bound to the same degree of care that would be required of her husband in looking out for herself. On thla theory she cannot recover, because she failed to look for herself to see whether tbe train waa coming. Tbe following are the decisions of tbe court as rendered today: Samuel Brlles, appellant, against Sarah tf. Goodrich et al; Hamilton countv. Judge Weaver; action on contract; affirmed. Edwin Carter et al, appellants, against I. I. Mcol; Iowa county, Judge Wade; for feitures on sale of intoxicating liquors; af firmed. W.
