BOOMING THE , PUSEY SITE Proposed Dona ions Toward Buying Prop erty ;'or Public L brary. COST TO THE CITY TO BI MUCH REDUCED Those Who Favor that Location Mak ing an Active Campaign to In dare Library Board to Change Its Mind. ' The agitation in favor of the Pusey prop erty at the southwest corner of Willow venue and Pearl street as the site for the Carnegie library building has reached that stage where It Is becoming exceedingly In teresting. Not only are "the petitions urg ing the selection of this site being numer ously signed throughout the entire city, but business men who are anxious to ee the library built on this corner are now prepared to make the library board certain offers which will bring the price of this property far below that of any of the other sites offered. Mrs. Pusey In her original offer placed the price of her property at $10,600, but later reduced it to 19,000. The price aaked by E. L. Shugart for his property at the northwest corner of First avenue and Sixth street was 12,000, and from this figure hs declined to make any reduction. The Pln ney property, adjoining the W. H. M." Pusey lot, was offered at $4,600, thus making the cost of the entire corner between Willow venue and the county courthouse grounds $13,600, only $1,500 more than asked by Mr. Shugart for his lot. Owners of property In the vicinity of the Pusey site are now prepared In the event of the library board deciding to choose thla site to assist so as to bring the cost to the city far below that of any other sites offered. One property owner Is pre pared In the event of the board desiring to acquire the Plnney property, as well as the Pusey lot, to purchase the residence and remove It and In addition to make a sub stantial donation toward the cost of the property. Other property owners in the vicinity are also willing and ready to do their share and are prepared to subscribe amounts which In the aggregate will ma terially reduce tha cost of the property to the city If the board will decide to locate the library building at that corner.

VAN WAGENEN TOUTED FOR GOVERNOR Acceptable to All Faction and WIU Not Be Particular About Platform If Allowed to Personally Ad vocate What He Please. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. April . (Special.) Jef ferson dsy was celebrated here today in auspicious manner. Liberal arrangements had" been made In advance lor a confer ence and a banquet, and both were In every way successful. There were nearly 200 of the demoirats who believe In the Kansas City platform who were prestnt at the con ference held In the afternoon and there were 300 at the banquet in the evening. Those prominent In the meetings were W. J. Bryan, Adlal Stevenson, General James B. Weaver and Judge Van Wagenen. The whole purport of the conference was to organize the friends and admirers of Bryan so that they will be able to control the democratic state convention this year and next. The leading democrats who became conspicuous last presidential election and In 1896 were present, representing nearly every part of the state. There was much enthusiasm and a great deal of strong talk ing. The conference demonstrated that the friends of the Kansas City platform are badly disorganized and that they need leadership In the state. It was tacitly agreed that the work of organization should bo commenced at once in every county of the state. By so doing it is regarded as certain that they could control the party In Iowa. Judge Van Wagentn, who spoke at the tanquet on "Government Ownership ot Railroads," Is regarded very favorably as the candidate for governor, not only by the free silver men, but by the reorgan izes. His address was substantially that delivered by him at a Jackson day banquet In Waterloo. General Weaver had been considered as a possible candidate for gov ernor, but he declared he was out of It. It Is understood that Van Wagenen is willing to let them write the platform, but he re serves the right to make ownership of" the railroads most conspicuous In the cam paign. Adlal E. Stevenson of Illinois was here, as was Charles E. Russell, a representative of William R. Hurst, and it Is understood they were feeling the peopl In the matter of the possible candidacy of Hearst for president. Mr. Hearst was unable to come, He had been invited. Bryan Hits Reorganise. Mr. Bryan delivered an address at the conference In line with hi well known views as expressed in the east recently In favor of standing by the party platform. He Insisted that the principle ot the party must be maintained and that It is better to go down in defeat standing tor principles than to gain a victory by sacrifice of prin ciples. "I have never believed In Inviting a man into my house," he said, "just to see If hs Is big enough to jut mo out." He wanted the reorganize to stay out of th party until they can come in realizing th enorm ity of their sins. "Ifrka It." he said, "that you who are here-ar all fighters, and that you believe in fighting for a principle. . We entered upon a fight In 1895 which resulted in the Chicago platform, and that fight Is not yet at an end.. I regard it as a great struggle, not unlike that which took place early In the century between Jefferson and Hamilton, a struggle then between democ racy and aristocracy, and now between democracy and plutocracy. The principles are the same, the danger is tha same, the republican party has com to stand for plutocracy and not for the people, and ther is but one way for tha people to win, and that is by and through th democratio party." He counseled adherence to th party platform and a fight along th old lines. Adlal E. Stevenson of Bloomlngton, III., formerly vice president of th United States, arrived this morning. When asked as to Issues In the next campaign, he said: "The net results' ot the congressional work the past winter has been to weaken the republican party. The majority has not strengthened itself at any point. And It has forced the tariff-trust Issue upon tha American people for the next presi dential election. The outlook for the dem ocratic party Is Indeed very flattering at thla time." "Who are the Illinois democrats likely to want for presidential candidate?" 'That Is hard to tell. We have had no conventions and no opportunity to express ourselves. Just now we are much wrapped up In the municipal fight in Chicago. A number of men are considered as available for presidential candidates, but you may b sure of one thing, the Illinois democrats want a candldato who can inspire confidence and who has a reasonable (haw of election. We want an aggressive campaign and an active man at the head." Perfect Organisation. The democratic conference perfected or ganization tor the control of the party by friends of Bryan by selecting a committee of one from each congressional district, as follows: N. C. Roberts, Fort Madison; M. E. Lyons, Dubuque; Douglas Deremore, Waukon; John Hobbs, Marshalltown; G. F. Rlnehart, Newton; H. C. Evans, Des Moines; E. J. 8ankey, Leon; J. J. Shea, Council Bluffs; P, H. Donlon Emmetsburg, and Earl Bronson, Spencer. The Second district was left vacant. This committee is to meet soon and elect a chairman and secretary and get Into touch with every county chairman in th stat snd form an organization from th town ships up, confined strictly to th free stiver men. Th banquet program this evening was well carried out. Ex-Congressman Walt Butler was to have been toast master, but was not present, and George F. Rlnehart, who originated th banquet and arranged the program, acted In that capacity. Cato Sells was absent and his place was taken by Editor Plumb of Burlington. Th other responses were: -"Americanism," Charles O. Holley, Des Moines; "Plutocracy," J. J. Shea, Council Bluffs; "Impsrtallsm," J. B. Sullivan, Creston; "Th Declaration ot In dependence," O. P. Myers; "Government Health at Homo through Hires Boobr delightful preparation of roots, brrbs, barks and berries. Nature's owa pre script 10a. Bene6ts etcry number of the family.

Mr. Slsvenson, who spoke Brat, in order to catch an early train for his horn In Bloomlngton, III., gsve his views as to the proper policy for the democratic party In the coming presidential campaign. He said In part: We are almost upon the threshold of an other presidential contest. The main is sues of the struggle can even now be clearly denned. The party in power will stand as In the past, for a high protec tive tariff: will oppose all attempts to lighten the burdens of enormous tariff taxation; will atand for the leglelatlon in spired by greed which has brought colos sal fortunes to Its beneficiaries by Increas ing th coet of needed articles of con sumption. It will stand for the trusts. The unlawful combinations of capital, which today threaten the destruction of legitimate bueinens enterprise, will find their only defenders In tha republican party. In unrelenting hostility to sll this, the democratic party, true to the teachings of Jefferson, will favor the abolition of all unnecessary and unjust taxes, will demand a reduction to the minimum of the cost of every needed article of consumption. It will stand In reality, aa well as in its plat form, the antagonist of tru.ts. Is It too much to believe that, with these Issues In the forefront there will be di vided councils In the democratic party? Whatever differences may exist upon ques tion.! of less moment, there can be none upon the political issues indicated.
