William D. Conyers of this city, who waa
recently reported to have died as the result
o; Injuries received In a threshing machine
accident In Bigelow, Minn., Is very much
alive. Ha reached Council BluSs on a late
train Saturday night and shortly after mid
night called at police headquarters seeking
assistance to locate hia wife and family.
On reaching town Conyers at once went to
1MB Avenue B, where hia family lived when
he left the city laat July, only to fled that
hia wifa had moved and the neighbors were
unable to tell her present location.
Last Friday Mrs. Conyers was granted a
default In her suit tor divorce and would
In the course of things have been granted
a decree today. Conyers, however, denies
the allegations that he has been unfaithful
and says he will fight the case. This, he
says, waa his main purpose la returning
to Council BluSs. It is said that Mrs. Con
yers placed no credence in the report that
her husband was dead and for that reason
went ahead with her auit for divorce.
Conyers denies all knowledge of the let
ter received here containing the account of
his death and says he Is at a loss to know
who could have written It. About three
weeks ago he waa Injured in a threshing
machine accident at Bigelow, but although
be had to quit work for a few days, his In
Juries were not serious. The first that
Conyers knew about word being sent here
of his death was from the' telegraph op
rrator at Bigelow, who told him that a mes
sags had been received there asking about
him, as there was a report In Council Bluffs
that he had been killed.
That his wife had begun divorce proceed
Ings against him was no news to Conyers
snd he admitted that he had received notice
of the suit. The allegations of his wife, he
Insists, are unfounded but admits that for
some time he has been at home but little,
as before going to Minnesota be was in the
Black Hills country. He says that until he
received notice of the divorce proceedings
he had continually sent his wife money for
her and the children's support.
Conyers said the first thing he would do
Monday would be to secure the services of
an attorney to defend the divorce case, as
he intended to fight it to the end.
Conyers succeeded In effecting a recon
ciliation with his wife yesterday and It Is
understood that the divorce proceedings
will be dropped.

DE3 MOINES, Nov. 9 (Special., Tbe
efforts of the manufacturers of oleomar
garine to enter Iowa under tbe new law
have sttrscted the attention of State Dairy
Commissioner Wright, who proposes mak
ing a test esse as soon as possible to de
termine whether the manufactured product
can be legally sold In Iowa, even though'
the government licenses are paid. Voder
the old law the companies practically aban.
doned any effort to sell oleo la Iowa,
as both the state and tbe federal law
discouraged it. Since the law has gone
Into force making It possible to secure a
government license to sell uncolored oleo
margarine on a license costing only It a
year, tbe makers have determined upon
an Invasion of Iowa, and leading grocers
and butchers here and In other cities of
the state have been Invited to take up
the sale of the goods. As yet no licenses
have been taken out by dealers In Du
buque, Davenport, Burlington, Marshall
town and Ottumwa. As soon as a dealer
takes out a government license tbe state
dairy commissioner Is notified and he goes
to the dealer and warns him that he must
comply strictly with the law. But there
Is a question as to whether the so-called
uncolored oleomargarine which is being
put on the market does not in fact violate
the Iowa law, which la more specific as to
color or resemblance to butter than the
federal law. As soon as there is a sale ie
Des Moines the state dairy commissioner
will bring suit to test this question. If
the Iowa law forbids the sale of the oleo
margarine which is being put on the mar
ket as uncolored, the companies will be
forced out of the state.

The city of Oelwein. In Fayette county,

the size of the building, tbe purposes for

be given out.
Panes! College Plans.
The trustees of Parsons' college. Fair
field, have been called to meet at that
place on Tueaday of this week for the
purpose of deciding on the future of the
college. It Is probable that the college
will not be removed. After the fire of
last spring, which destroyed the main
building of the college, the trustees made
" wn that they would expect of the
people of Fairfield a considerable contribu
I tion to retain the college there, as there
were other cities with good offers for
removal. The city of Mount Pleasant,
which already has a college, made an offer
of SaO.OOO cash and site worth $10,000
Since then tbe citizens of Fairfield have
raised a large sum to offer to tbe trustees
for the endowment fund or to build a new
i k..nir.9 mA it i. iikiv that at ti mt
! building, and it is likely that at the meet
ing Tuesday It will be definitely deter
mined that the college shall not be re
moved from Fairfield. Ottumwa, Burling

offers for tbe college, but failed to do so,

The voters of Crawford county at the

counties old and out-of-date court houses
are. In use. snd especially at CenterviUe
has there been a great deal of expense
and annoyance on accouat of tbe lack of a
good court house. In Henry county, owing
to local differences, the voters refused to
order the building of a county court house.

It is not very often that an entire town
Is moved to a new site so that it may

what will s.-on happen to the little village
of Elkhart, in the north central part of
Polk county. Ed LaPlant of Marshall
town has been awarded the contract and

of weeks. There are about twenty-five

TALKS OF NAVY FUEL SUPPLY
Adaslral Bradford Wants rant rssllig
Skips of Gaverasneat ta Carry
an alien.
WASHINGTON. Nov. . In his annual
report Admiral Bradford, chief of the Bu
reau of Equipment and Repair of tbe Navy
department, takes occasion to renew his
protest against the substitution of a naval
constructor for a line officer at ship
building works.
A naval constructor, he ears, is a non
seagoing officer. Inquiries as to ths cus
tom of the merchant maiine In this matter
show that the construction of merchant
ships Is generally supervised by the most
experienced master mariner and chief en
gineer in tbe employ of the owners. It is
an anomaly to build a ship and prepare it
tor sea under the supervision of a lands
man. The report does not touch on tbe ques
tion of additional coaling statloas or wire
less telegraphy.
Ths total coal purchased during the year
waa $62,043 tons at an average cost of
$5.1 per ton, against $7.01 laat year. This
was ths lowest price paid for coal since
mi, when the average was $4 68. The
amount used was 'I per cent larger than
the preceding year. The amount of foreign
real purchased decreased 14 per cent, while
$4 per cent more domestic Coal was used.
Special attention Is called to the fact that
41 per cent of the consumption was for
suxlllary purposes.
Exhaustive tests were made during the
early part of the year by tbe torpedo boat
flotilla ont of Norfolk with Virginia coal
to determine which was best adapted for
the torpedo boats. The result showed little
difference when the coal was carefully se
lected. Admiral Bradford renews his recom-
menda'.Ion for tbe construction of two
large steam colliers cspsble of carrying
10,000 tons of coal as cargo and 1.0(0 tons
In bunkers, with accommrdation for a
naval personnel and liberal amount of
stores and a secondary battery. Such
ships would be very useful In peace or
war. They should be capable of twelve
knots when loaded and Would be econom
ical on long voyages at a speed of eight or
nine knots.

called by the World's fslr officials, the
mayor of the city, the president of tbe
Business Men's league, the president of the
Manufacturers' association and the presi
dent of the Thirty-first National Saenger
fest assoclstion.
At the time when St. Louis singers de

gerfest, which was held In Buffalo In 1901,
the World's fair officials, the mayor of St.
Louis, the president of the Merchants' ex
change and the president of the Business
Men's league urged them to use all tbelr
Influence to have the National Saengerfest
association decide to make St. Louis and
the World's fair grounds the location of the
1903 festival. The St. Louis delegates went
lato the plan with patriotic vim and pride
and succeeded in gaining their point. The
World's fair city was declared to be the

Progrrasa AH Arranged.
The program of the coming festival has
already been properly arranged. It will be
both In English and German.
There will be a reception concert the
first evening, in which the orchestra and
male choruses will participate, and alao so
los and grand mixed choruses, the Utter in
EnglUh.
The following afternoon there will be a
matinee, with orchestra, solos, children's
choruses In English and choruses of Amer
ican societies. In addition there will be
wo grand evening concerts. The festival
will wind up with a big volksfest.
The main chorus will consist of about
,000 drilled male voices, the singers com
ing from all parts of the country, north,
south, east and west. The songs will be
rendered in an artistic, finished manner.
the singers having already been preparing
themselves for several months past, and 1
the effect of this grand massed singing; will
be heightened by the able conducting of
Profs. Richard Stempf and William Lange.
It is stated that aome of tbe most famous
singing societies of Germany will likewise
participate. The mixed choruses of sev
eral thousand local voice vill sing in Eng
lish and Include some of the best local
English societies.
The musical committee is endeavoring to
secure a quartet of solo singers of not
only national, but international reputation,
regardless of cost. It will probably be re
membered by many St. Loulsans that when
the last national Saengerfest was held in
St. Louis, in 1S88, they had the pleasure
of hearing such eminent singers as LI 111
Lehmatm, Max Alvary, Emit Fischer, Emma
Juch and Anna Lankow.
A symphony orchestra of 200 of the lead
ing musicians of this country will be en
gaged under the leadership of a famous
director. It will be the strongest orchestra
ever heard Jn St. Louis. In connection with
this, it may be stated that. In 18S8, the
Thomas orchestra was brought from New
York to St. Louis at a cost of 112.400.
Ths liberal arts building, in which the
festival la to take place, will be one of the
most elegant structures on the World's
fslr grounds. It will be of grand, even Im
posing dimensions 7S0xS50 feet. The build
ing Is now under construction and will be
easily accessible and close to the Llndell
pavilion. The World's fair officials have
promised to have all transportation facili
ties in beet shspe.
The chief personal responsibility for the
management of the great festival rests in
the. hands of Mr. Otto F. Stlfel, as presi
dent of the Thirty-first National Saenger
fest association. He is assisted by an abl
staff of officers, most of whom hsve bad
valuable experience in affairs of this kind
and magnitude, and may be relied upon "to
do tbelr utmost in making the saengerfest
what it ought to be and what it promises
to be one of the greatest, most artlstle
triumphs of the World's fair period la St.
Louis.

Ths following brief historical sketch ol
the origin and growth of the German male
chorus and of tbe North American saen
gerbund may be- of Interest to readers:
The secular male chorus rendering songs
in four parts was Introduced In Germany
by the organist of the cathedral at Salz
burg, Michael Haydn, who published In the
year 178S the first German "Male Quartets
Without Accompaniment."
The example of Haydn was followed by
Naegell (born 1773) In SwUzerland, L. V,
CalU bom 177) in Vienna, and Carl Fried -
rich Zelter (born 1758) In Berlin. The lat
ter, with the advice of the poet, Goethe
founded December li. 1808, at Berlin, the
first German singing club for male voices.
which consisted exclusively of poets, com
posers and singers, and was called "Lieder
tafel." modeled after King Arthur's
"Knights of the Round Table."
Soon afterward the war of liberation
began, during which the olii bards, "heroes
and singers alike," rose sgaln from tbe
ranks of the people; Koerner, Schenken
dorf and Arndt wrote their patriotic and
war eocgs; Carl Maria von Weber, Reich'
ardt, Silcher, Kruetxer and others com
posed for tbe male chorus their songs la
four parts aad gave to tbe German people
a new treasury of excellent vocal music.
Increasing thereby considerably the cum
ber of papular songs inherited from former
centuries. These songs, repeated lnnu
merable times, brought consolation and
comfort during the many days of afflic
tion, kept alive In the minds of the people
ths greatness of their fatherland, reminded
ths German tribes that they were of '.he
same stock and created, fully fifty years
before the regeneration of the German em
pire. a "Germany of Hearts."
The "Liedertafel," founded by Zelter la
Berlin, was soon followed by similar clubs
In Frankfurt-oa-tbe-Oder, Lelpsie and other
cities. Neighboring societies visited ons
another: associations of districts and stales
were established for (he purpose of oc
casionally bringing together greater Bum
bers of singers aad of holding song fes
tivals. Finally, la August, l&li, ths "First

Crosses tbe Ocean.
With tbe ships that carried the emigrants
from the old world to the new, German
song crossed tbe ocean to keep awake in '
the new fatherland the reminiscences of
the old and td help to teach its youth by j
means of sweet melodies the language of .
the fathers and to preserve the mother
tongue.
Tbe "Philadelphia Maennerchor," still in
existence. Is considered the oldest male
chorus In tbe United States. It was founded
in 1835 and was followed by tbe Lieder
kranx of Baltimore and the Liederkranz of
New Orleans.
The first German song festival in Amer
ica, which was at the same lme the oc
casion of the foundation of the North Amer
ican saenserbund. took Dlace in June. 1849.
There were present at this gathering :
three singing societies from Cincinnati, a
society from Madison, Ind., the Lieder
kranz from Louisville, Ky., and a delega
tion of the Columbus Maennerchor, Colum
bus, O.
From 1849 to' tbe beginning of the civil
war the festivals of ths North American
ssengerbund took place annually In differ
ent citiea, as shown by this table.

On account of the great extension of the
country and tbe poor accommodations for
traveling the New Tork A Erie railroad
did not reach Dunkirk before 1831, and tho
Baltimore Ohio did not reach Wheeling
before 1853 the foundation of several asso
ciations or unions of singers became neces
sary. And so came into existence, besides
the North American tho oldest asoocia
tlon, the Northeastern saen gerbund In
1850; the German-Texan in 1852 and the
Northwestern ssengerbund in 1855, etc.
After the civil war the festivals of the
North American ssengerbund were held
during great intervals:

For many years the necessity had mads
Itself felt that tbe North American Saen
gerbund organization be made stronger and
permanent. It bad been a rather loose or
ganization that dissolved after each festi
val and that had to be brought together
again through agitation on the part of each
new festal city. In Cleveland, therefore,
a committee was appointed for the purpose
of preparing a new constitution. The re
port of this committee was adopted la
Pittsburg, and thereby was created, be
sides tbe committee of tbe festal city, a
governing board of the association, whose
members, in the majority, resided in those
cities at which the last festival of tha
union had been held, so that tbe adminis
tration had at their command the experi
ence of the past and tbe personal connec
tions with tbe societies in the different
parts of the country.
In June, 1S99, the North American Saen
gerfest celebrated at its place of birth,
Cincinnati, its golden jubilee, at which 120
societies and 2.757 singers appeared aad
were offered cordial congratulations from
all large associations of singers of this
country snd likewise from the "General
German Sacngcrbund" In Germany. The
perfect rendering of tbe mass choruses
formed the crown of the Jubilee festival
of tbe union snd a worthy conclusion of
the first half century of Its existence.
In Cincinnati also tbe perfection of the
permanent union made much progress. The
constitution as adopted in Pittsburg did
not stand the test in many ways, because
several reforms, for a long time acknowl
edged to be necessary, were disregarded
and many laws only admissible for a loose
organization were tn force in this perma
nent association. Taking in consideration
these ci cumstances, the president of the
association, J. Hanno Deiler, submitted at
Cinclnna'i a draft of a new constitution,
which vt5 accepted without any material
changes by the session of ths delegates of
the union.
