Project by Big Majority.
SHELDON WINS UNIFORM RANK DRILL
Rathbone Sisters Elect Officers for
Ensalna Year anal Also Con
clnde Their Business
and Adjourn.
After one of the most successful meeting
In Its history In point of attendance and
In other respect the Iowa grand lodge,
Knights of Pythian, concluded its business
yesterday afternoon and adjourned. Before
dissolving the delegate by resolution ex
pressed extreme satisfaction at the manner
In which they had been' entertained while
In Council Bluffs and tendered their sincere
thanks to atl who had assisted to make
their visit In the city a pleasant and profit
able one.
The Pythlans of Iowa will not establish
a sanitarium for the members of the order
at Colfax, at least not for several years,
and It Is doubtful If the project will ever
be revived. The sanitarium proposition,
although backed by large and influential
delegate from Colfax and De Moines,
met with decisive defeat at the morning
session, at which It had been made a
special order of business. Its defeat was
a surprise to those who had been boosting
the project, as surface Indications, were
that It would carry at this meeting of the
grand lodge. Its supporters, however, were
doomed to disappointment, as the proposi
tion on being put to a vote was defeated
by two to one.
The defeat of the proposition was due
to the fact that those who opposed It did
so fearing that the management of such
an Institution would lead to more or less
disagreements and ultimately prove a
source of never-ending trouble to the order
and the grand lodge In particular.
The greater part of yesterday's session
was devoted to considering the revised
constitution and statute a printed In the
Journal of the last year's meeting and
recommended by .the Judiciary committee.
They were adopted with but a few amend
ments of minor Importance.
The matter of formulating a plan for
changing the method of electing the grand
lodge officers was referred to the Incoming
Judiciary committee to report on at next
year's meeting.
The bond of Grand Master of the Ex
chequer O'Connell was placed at 130,000.

pany at the prise drill yesterday afteraqon
at Lake Manawa. Captain J. B. Frlsboe
was In command of the company and the
drill put up by his men was almost per
fect, the Judges scoring the company. 9T
per cent. The prise awarded the Sheldon
company was $150 In cash.
Valley Junction company of th Third
regiment. In command of Captain DeFord,
won the second prise of tlOO with 96.8 per
cent The third prise of I7B went to Daven
port company of the Second regiment, in
command of Captain Lindsay, with 4.J
per cent.
The prise of $50 for the company coming
the longest distance was awarded to Daven
port company, and the prise of $50 for
the largest company In camp was won by
Atlantio company of the Third regiment,
under Captain Emerson. The Atlantic com
pany, which was but recently organized,
made a most excellent showing with It
new uniforms and military bearing of the
members, but It had not had' sufficient
training to carry off any of the prises for
drill. In the prise drill It was scored 93$
per cent.
The judge were Lieutenant Colonel N. B.
Tyrrell of the Uniform Rank, Major Mat
Tlnley of the Fifty-fifth regiment, Iowa
National Quart., and First Lieutenant Paul
Van Order of Company U Fifty-fifth regi
ment, Iowa National guard. The parade

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 13. (Speelal.)-In-Junctlon
suits brought by those who were
not satisfied with the assessment of rail
road property by the state executive coun
cil recently appear to have all come too
late to secure a test of the questions at
Issue In tho manner contemplated by the
Injunction seekers. The owners of the In
terurban railroad from Waterloo to Cedar
Falls asked for a restraining order to pre
vent the secretary of the executive council
from certifying the assessment of the prop
erty entire as an lnterurban Una, as it was
claimed that the portion within corpora
tion limits should be treated for taxation
purposes as a city railway. But the notice
came after the assessment had been made
and the certification was complete. The
company has since, filed an amended state
ment of Its business, In which It Is stated
that the taxes paid last year amounted to
$248, and that the receipts amounted to
$85,638.14, and the expenses to $48,0(9.60. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad
company filed a petition for injunction to
prevent assessment of the Muscatine-Rut-ledge
cut-off, claiming that this was not
properly a railroad until It Is actually
operated as a railroad, and that It should
not have been assessed for this year since
it is not now in operation. A matter of
some $87,000 Is involved here, but it is now
stated that no papers were In fact served
until after the assessment had been com
plete and the clerical work ot certifying
out had been done.

THE INCONSISTENCY
OF HABIT.
You do not drink statnant and muddy water, because
you know It 1$ Impure and filled with tferms, hence positively dan
gerous to health. Yet you know that PURE water is wholesome and
a certain daily consumption of it necessary to good health.
You do not eat tainted meat or other spoiled food, because,
aside from a natural repugnance for it, you know it contains germs
of disease and is, therefore, an enemy to good health. Yet you
are perfectly aware that pure, nutritious food is a necessity of life,
without which you could not live.
It's the same with coffee. Many people have ruined their
digestive organs and upset their nervous system by the continued
use of cheap and adulterated coffees. Such art positively harmful
because of their impurities. But pure coffee, possessing, as it does,
valuable nutritive properties and acting as a mild stimulant to the
nervous system, is a refreshing, delicious and healthful beverage.
There is no better or purer coffee sold anywhere than
DOS RIOS COFFEE,
which comes to you direct from the plantations
on which it is grown and is sold only in
sealed air-tight canisters, which keep it free
from all impurities, besides preserving its
original strength and flavor.
