Offioial Reports Blow the Ordsr to Be in a
nourishing Condition.
INSURANCE FEATURE IS DISCUSSED
Matter Will Be Referred to Soboru
Inate Lodges Before Gran Lodge ,
Aets on Incorporating
lack a Featare.
The Iowa grand lodge, Bon of Hermann,
after a night of festivity, got down to
serious business yesterday morning, when
ths reports of the several officers were read
and referred to the usual committees. These
reports showed that the order was in a
thriving condition and that' Over 400 mem
bers had been admitted. ' dttrlng the last
year and that the grand lodge treasury
still, had a balance of $1,000 for Incidental
expenses. The subordinate lodges take care
of ths funeral and sick benefits of their
members, thereby making ho drain on the
grand lodge treasury.
Ths principal question before the grand
lodge yesterday was the advisability of In
troducing an insurance feature In connec
tion with the order In this state. At pres
ent tb order of the Sons of Hermann la
based very much on the same lines as the
Odd Fellows. It pays a funeral benefit of
$26 and sick benefit of 16 a week. The
proposition to establish a life insurance
feature In connection with the order, it la
said. Is favored by a large number of the
members of the grand lodge, but It Is
doubtful if any definite action In the matter
will be taken at this meeting. The question
was thoroughly discussed yesterday at both
the morning and afternoon sessions, but
the grand lodge will obtain the sentiment
of the subordinate lodges In the matter be
fore taking any action.
Grand President Lutse recommended sev
eral unimportant changes In the constitu
tion, which will be acted upon this morn
ing. ' I
Indications are that the present officers
of the grand lodge will be accorded a
unanimous re-election In recognition of the
able manner In which they conducted the
affairs of the order during the last two
years. It la also understood that the bien
nial meeting In 1905 will be held In Daven
port, that city having no opposition. Both
these questions will be settled at the meet
ing this morning..
At the afternoon session a resolution of
thanks to Mayor Morgan, the newspapers
and members of the local lodge for the cor
dial manner In which the grand lodge and
visiting delegates had been received and en
tertained was adopted.
During ' the afternoon ths officer and
delegate to the grand lodge were photo
graphed In front of the county courthouse.

CITY ASKS AN INJUNCTION
Difference of Opinion' Abont Existence
- ' 'of Alley In Rear of Patrol ...
Barn.
, ,
The city .began proceedings Jn the .dis
trict court yesterday to enjoin Harry Dye
and Mrs. Mary Haines, his guardian, .from
fencing ' In and otherwise obstructing an
alleged alley In the rear of the patrol
house on Brysnt street. Charles Crum.
employed to erect the fence, was arrested
on the charge of obstructing a public high
way and resisting an officer. He gave bail
for his appearance In police court.
'The property owned by Harry Dye, now
an Inmate of the asylum at Clarlnda, was
for a number of years until a few months
ago occupied by the city for the use of the
streets and alley and sewer departments.
It lies directly north and west of the pa
trol house.. An effort to sell the property
to the city failed and- recently the . city
gave up possession of It. A few days ago
the, work of erecting a fence around the
property was begun and the fence comi
within a few feet of the rear door of the
patrol house." Notice -was Served on the
workmen by the city to, desist, but .they
took, no notice of It.
The city claims that an alley twelve feet
wide at the rear of the patrol house ha
existed for over twenty years, which Is
denied by those acting for Dye. Although
the city had failed to secure any temporary
restraining order from the district court,
Chief Tlbbits 'took the law into his own
hands and caused the arre.t of Charlei
Crum, employed by Mrs. Haines to con
struct the fence. Crum dispute-! the au
thority of the officer sent to arrest him
and an additional charge of resisting an
officer was placed against his name.
Counsel for Mrs. Haines stated last even
ing that the arrest of Crum would result
In a suit for damages against the city, as
It was entirely unauthorised and without
warrant. For the owner of the property
It Is contended that the mere fact of the
city under Its - lease 'of the property, per
mitting the public .to use It as an alley
during the tenure of such lease, , did not
make It a public highway. . .

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY WIND
Eleetrle Light Wires Dowi and the
Carre at Tamed OS Early
la Erealis,
The windstorm did more or less damage
in Council Bluffs last evening. The Citi
zens' Gas and Electric company was badly
crippled by having Its transmission wires
blown down and as the service wires
throughout the city were badly mixed up
with the telephone and telegraph wires no
attempt to turn on the current was made.
The trouble. It is expected, will be rectified
this morning. The transmission wires of
the electric light company which convey
the current from Omaha were blown down
at Sixteenth and Twenty-third streets In
the early part of the storm and people who
depended on electric light were forced to
use lamps. The city was also In darkness
so far as the light towers and the Intersec
tion arc lights were concerned.
Big trees were blown down In all parts
Of the city and bill boards suffered the
same fate. A tree two feet In diameter
was blown down In the yard of the Oscar
Keellne home on South Seventh street, nar
rowly missing the house In Its fall. An
old tree, one of the city's landmarks, at
the corner of Bryant and Vine streets, was
torn up by Its roots and fell across the
street. A tree on First avenue and Sixth
avenue was blown down and across the
street, as was one on Harmony street.
A big plate glass window In the saloon
at the corner of Broadway and Bryant
street was blown In and several windows
In the tipper stories of the Merrlam block
were broken by the force of the gale.
Several windows In the building occupied
by W. A. Maurer on Broadway were also
blown In.
Reports from the patrolmen showed that
bill boards In all parts of the city were
blown down and In many places across the
sidewalks. The Western Union reported
more or less trouble with Its local wires,
aa did the Postal Telegraph company. The
telephone company did not escape, as Its
wires were reported to be In a more or
less confused condition all over town.
The rainstorm Thursday night caused
Indian creek to raise within a foot of Its
banks and for a time an overflow seemed,
Imminent. Shortly after midnight, how
ever, the water commenced to recede and
all danger of the creek breaking its banks
was passed for the time being.
The front of the brick building on South
Main street and Seventh avenue, occupied
by George Ouderkirk as a blacksmith shop,
was blown out and across the street, Imped
ing the street car traffic until the debris
could be cleared front the tracks. .

State Superintendent Barrett went today
to Terrll, Dickinson county, where he will
speak at the annual commencement of the
township school, one of the pioneer con

the entire township were consolidated Into
one central school a few years ago and a
grade system established. The school Is
demonstrating what can be done toward
Improving the rural schools by adopting
this new system. The state superintendent
Is advised that three other townships ad
Joining have also made a commencement In
the work of centralising. He will take
along a camera and gather picture and
Information as to the workings of the con
solidation plans in that part of the state.
Encouraging State Crrtlffeatea.
The state department of ' education I
ending out a circular to the county super
intendents calling attention to the action
of the State Board of Examiner with
reference to examination for teacher'
certificate. "For many year," state ths
circular, "the amount of leaching experi
ence required before nongraduate of nor
mal schools or Institutions maintaining
equivalent courses of study could be ad
mitted to the examination has been three
years of thirty-six -weeks each. By the
recent change the future requirement for
admission to the examination for - state
certificates will be two year of successful
teaching experience Instead of three. This
change Is made In the belief that our state
hould encourage In every possible way
our competent young men and young
women to enter the rank of the profes
sion." .

not good for the work of the guard. The
date for the state rifle shoot has not been
determined, but It Is probable that this
year the target practice will all occur at
the time of the regimental encampments
and that all of them will be at the stats
rifle range.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May C.-The sup
pression of news from Albania engenders
the belief that the government plans for
the pacification of that part of Turkey are
miscarrying. ...
The Albanians were known to have been
planning to attaok the Servian monastery
at Dechanl, near Ipek, containing Russian
monks,, and on the Russian embassy' rep
resentations the palace authorities have
promised to send troop to protect the
monks.
The sentiment against Bulgaria Is In

tivity 1 displayed by the war ministry, A
division of reserves at Kalsorlyeh is about
to be taken into tbe service. Apart, how
ever, from the probable intervention of the
powers the sultan will not permit a con

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, cornea the
greater part of that healthful development which ia so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative la needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the Internal organs
on which it acts, should be such aa physicians would sanction, because Its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free) from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the aame reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup ,of Figs ia the only remedy which sets gently, plessantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartica and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be ao carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
. also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
era sometimes offer to Increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty centa per bottle. Pleas?
