NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA. THE OMAHA DAILY BEKs MONDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1102. (Ml COUNCIL CDR1STI1S VIEW OF STRIKE ler. Thomson Hslds ths Opsrntsn Irt is th Wrong it Present Oriiii. ' LIMITATIONS TO PROPERTY RI6HTS llibkariam ot Mia Owitri Respon sible for Present BarTerlne; mm& All Wnleh Mar Fellow la Conaeanence, "Tha Coal Strike from the Standpoint of Christian Citizenship" formed tha subject of Rev. James Thomson' sermon at the First Congregational church last evening. At the close of the discourse the congre gation adopted resolutions approving the effort of President Roosevelt to settle the strike, declaring sympathy with the miners In their attempt to secure higher wages, and urging that the strife between the operators and th miners come at ones to an end, In the name of law, patriotism, good clUienshlp and numaalty. Short ad dresses were also made by Ernest E. Hart. H. W. Haxelton, D. W. Otis, Dr. P. J. Montgomery and Rer. Mrs. Mullenaux In support of the resolutions. A collection was taken up for the striking miners, the pro ceeds of which will be forwarded today to President Mitchell. Rev. Thomson took bis text from Ecclesl sstes, 6.8: "If thou seest the oppression of the poor and the violent perverting Judgment and justice in the state, marvel not at th matter, for on higher than the high regardeth, and there be higher than they," and from Psalm 34:6: "This poor man cried and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." He said In part: ' Krun Christian Standpoint. It .a self-evident truth that "no man llveth unto himself alone." Absolute free dom to do as one pleases, even with his own. Is not possible; neither Is It right. A man has no right to do with his own what he please, from the standpoint of Chris tian cltlsenshlp. If by so doing he Is to Injure his fellows at large. Kvery man has an obligation to fulfill to society; every man occupies a relationship to society. Our actions not only affect ourselves, but affect othors also. Every man wields his Influence. The more prominent his posi tion the greater his power; the more in proportion do his actions affect aoclety. It is the business of every Christian man to ask himself, in all Important matters, what will be the result of this action of mine upon others, especially upon those others depending upon me? Now, the owners of the coal mines may, and have already done so, act upon the assumption that those mines are their own private and partu- .ilur property, and that they as the legal oumri cr.n do with that property as they uls iutelv rjlease If the laborers will not work for the wages that we are pleased to nfer them then we snail Keep tnose mines r oea until thev do so. Mnw whatever m a v be the lesral HUiml- I point of that question, viewed from the standnolnt of Christian cltlsenshlp, they have no such rignt at all. iney have no moral right to keep those mines closed, when they know that they can only be kept closed at a cost of almost unprece. dented suffering on the part of thousands of helpless women and children, of actual starvation to multitudes of families, de .ending for their bread upon the operation nf the mines. They have no moral right to keep the coal from being mined, when they know that the result must be a coal famine, such as never was heard of before In the history .of commerce, which hss caused countless industries to suspend, which Is fiaralysing trade and costing the public at arge an Incalculable amount of money and Inconvenience, and which. If the winter should be severe, will mean Intense hard ship among the poor of the land. I claim that from the standpoint of Christian cltlsenshlp, because of the awful results In keeping the mines closed. It Is the immedi ate business of the owners to at once re sume mining the coal. Mine Owners Responsible. Again, from the standpoint of Christian cltlsenshlp, a man must seek not merely his own good, but the common good. In other words, selfishness must not be the one law of his life. The great teacher of ethics, Jesus Christ, hss taught man that unselfishness Is a virtue, that it is the denial of self that Is often our duty. Now, I charge the owners of the mines with these two wrongs. They are not act ing for the common good in refusing to resume the operation of the mines. I charge them with acting from motives of utter selfishness. If the presidents of these mines were not controlled by the spirit of selfishness they would immediately begin to take the coal out of their mines. From the standpoint of Christian cltlsen shlp. It Is ttie duty of men to be patriots. By prolonging this strike they are acting In an unpatriotic manner. They are Injur ing the Industries of the country. They are bv their obstinacy and selfish pride provoking a state of feeling In the land which will tend to anarchy and disregard of law and which will undoubtedly lead to violence and murder. It will not do for those mine owners to put the blame for any resulting lawless n khi on the laborers because of their low character. Tha mine owners are responsl- hi for the low class of laborers they nave to deal with, Insomuch as they themselves have encouraged the Importation of the scum of Europe, to the lowering of the character of American cltlsenshlp and wages of American workmen. - Resolatloas Adopted. These are the resolutions adopted: Whereas. A strike In the coal mining regions of Pennsylvania haa been In exist ence for five months, with no Indication of Immediate settlement, and which strike haa already cost the country 1116,000.000 and has paralysed a multitude of Industries through scarcity of fuel, and has affected the whole I'nlted States, and. Whereas. Much suffering has been thereby entailed unon helpless women and children. and with the approach or winter more hard ships will hsve to be endured by countless families among the poor through Inability to secure coal. and. Whereas. The public at large Is being Inconvenienced by this Intolerable state of affairs, brought about by this strife; there fore, be It Resolved, That we. the members of the First Conaresatlonal church of Council Hluffs and cltlsens assembled, do herewith express our approval of the attempt of the president of the United B tares to bring about an Immediate settlement of the diffi culties, snd we further Resolve, That we deem It matter for rearet that the attitude assumed by th owners of the mines should be so unyield ing, and we rurtner Resolve, That while we deprecate strikes, we as Christians, believe that the laboring man is entitled to a fair living wage and the rightful share of the products of his tolL and we are therefore In sympathy with the miners snd laborers In their attempts to aecur these for themselves. We fear the temptation to lawlessness that the strike will surely engender should It be pro longed.

PLACE FOR THE POSTOFFICE Dei Msinsi ladly Divided on Chsios of Locatiai for Haw Bnildiaf. ROTtST FORWARDED TO WASHINGTON Opposition to Site Raaaor Has Selected Pythian Grand Lodge Meets This Week Blddlaa; for Removal of av College. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Oct. 8. (Special.) The matter of the location of the new Des Moines postofflc bids fair to cause a great deal of controversy In Des Moines. Rumors were circulated during the week that the Treasury officials had definitely located the postoflice on a riverfront site half a mile from the present postoflice. This was a site on which th best offer was made for the ac tual expense. During the week persons In terested In property In the business district made Investigation and became convinced that no definite location had been made and that none would be made for some time. Supervising Architect Taylor made personal Investigation of th situation here, but when he went away expressed himself dis satisfied with all the offers made. A large number of business men have protested against location of the new postoflice on the river front, and yet, they have been unable to secure options on property near the pres ent postoflice site at a figure that will meet the requirements of the Treasury depart ment. It was anticipated that Secretary Shaw would be in Des Moines early this month and that the business men would call on him and definitely arrange what ought to be done, but he has decided not to be her until next month and then not on offi cial business. The controversy is already engendering some bad feeling. Pythian Grand I -edge. Already a number of the chief officers of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of Iowa are In the city to attend the annual grand lodge meeting this week. Grand Chancellor Porterfleld of Atlantlo arrived today. The week will begin with a cere monial by the Knights of Khorassan on Monday evening, when a class of 200 will enter that order. The grand lodge of Rath bone Sisters will also be In session. On Wednesday there will be a Joint open ses sion of the Pythlans and the Rathbones before which the governor and mayor and the grand officers will deliver their ad dresses. The grand lodge will be In ses sion three days. There Is much work ahead as It Is proposed at this meeting to com pletely revise the laws of the order in this state and make important changes. Bidding; for a College, Since it has become known that the trus tees of Fairfield college were willing to consider the propositions looking to re moval of the college to some other point In Iowa, a number of cities have been pre paring to make offers. The trustees de sire that tho people of Fairfield shall as sist In raising a fund of $125,000 with which to erect new buildings to replace the burned main structure. It Is very doubtful If this sum can be raised. If It Is not raised and there are other good offers the trustees will remove. It Is learned that Mount Pleas ant, where the Iowa Wesleyan college Is al ready located, will make a good offer. One resident of that city has made a conditional offer of $76,000 to have the college located " "unt P1,?,"n "d w0 tnen wln "M $15,000, making $90,000 in all. To this the residents of the city will add something. The trustees expect offers also from Ot- tumwa, Burlington and possibly some other cities. Proposed Fighting; Carnival. A great many cities of Iowa, large and small, have had carnivals or street fairs this year, and various forms of entertain ment have been provided, hut it remained for the city of Dubuque to propose a box ing tournament as a feature of a carnival. The Dubuque carnival management is pre paring to have a series of prise fights ss a special attraction. There Is some doubt about Its ability to do so, however, as three years ago there was placed on the statute books of Iowa one of tha roost drastic laws ever enacted to prevent prise fighting and since then not an attempt hss been made to have a "boxing match" In the state. The Dubuque people are promising to have fighting events regardless ot the law and say they have assurances they will not be interfered with. Telephone Strikers Weakening;. It Is learned here that the striking tele phone operatives, who have been causing some embarrassment to the Iowa telephone service In this city for some months, are weakening and that at least four of the operatives have gone back to work de spite the boycott orders. . At the same time the Mutual, which acceded to the demands ot the strikers and agreed to em ploy only union operatives, is now using a number of nonunion girls. This state ot affairs Indicates that the strike has not been a success. Very little progress haa been mad In the matter for several weeks. The taking of testimony in the case of the Injunction brought to restrain the strikers hss been concluded and It is ready for sub mission to Judge McPherson when he calls court In Council Bluffs. BURNS CASE DEEP MYSTERY Absolutely- No Trace of the Missing Blonz City Society Woaaaau SIOUX CITT, la., Oct. 5. (Special Tele gram.) Abaolute and Impenetrable mys tery continues to surround the case of the disappearance of Mrs. T. F. Burns, presi dent ot the Sioux City- Beethoven club. The police dragged the river all dsy long today but without results. Dynamite will be used tomorrow. It Is not definitely de cided that Mrs. Burns was drowned and many theories are advanced In explanation One Is that she stopped on the further bank to gather autumn leaves and was waylaid by tramps. Anothsr still Is that she was kidnaped. A third theory is that she wandered away In a stat of dementia, though this Is given Uttl credence. Her husband is prostrated by th uncertainty surrounding th case. He Imagines bs sees th body of his wife, lying cold and white in death on tha bottom of the river. There Is no reason to believe the ease Is a sui cide. Mrs. Burns was always lively and cheerful and did not seem to have any trouble. Plyasonth Connty Nominations. LEMARS, Is.. Oct, 6. (Special.)

Sid ney L, Wlllson la dead, and another name has been stricken from the pension rolls and Jrom the list of federal officials. It Is nearly eighteen years now since Willson came to Washington to assume his duties as United States pension agent in charge of the Washington district. He was a poor man then so poor. Indeed, that he had boon compelled to sacrifice his small house and lot In western New York. In the summer of 1884 he lived in West field, Chautauqua county. He had a email home with a heavy mortgage upon It and he wanted to be postmaster. The salary of the office was at that time $1,200 a year. The gentleman then representing the Chautauqua district In congress declined to recommend Wlllson's appointment, and President Arthur felt constrained to refuse him the place. -Shortly after the appoint ment of another candidate had been made, Joseph W. Kay of Brooklyn, representing the Veterans' Rights union, traveled to th western end of the state and began an active campaign against the renomlna tlon of Dr. Brewer because he had refused to recommend Wlllson's appointment. Brewer was defeated and Walter Sessions was sent to congress In his place. Immediately after election Mr. Sessions came to Washington to And a position for Mr. Wlllson. President Arthur mentioned the Washington pension agency as a suita ble place and In January following Will son's name was sent to the senate and confirmed. He was reappointed at the end of four years by Mr. Cleveland. Four years later President Harrison again sent his name to the senate. But when his third term expired lu 1893 Mr. . Cleveland al lowed him to continue on, knowing that Mr. MrKlnley would be certain to con tinue him In office. He began bis fifth term last spring and had he not been called away Sidney L.

He was thrifty and economical and Invested his navinga in real estate, which has rapidly enhanced In value. He leaves a widow and five children, but they are by no meana destitute.
