OBJECTION TO METHODS OF HOME
Said to' nave Seen red Children by
Misrepresentation.
Officers of the Associated Charities al
lege that the order turning rhe two All
good ' boys over to the Iowa Children's
Home society " was .obtained from Judge
Thomell through Incorrect representations.
They have placed the matter In the hands
of an 'attorney and It Is understood that
application will be made to the court to
have the order annulled and the children
brought back to the Creche here.
The order turning the two boys, over to
the Iowa Children's Home society was

FORMi LIQUID. P0WT: AST-
made Friday by Judge Thomell on appli
cation of the society's agent, A. W. Lan
Ingham of Red Oak. It Is alleged that
representations were made to the court
that the Associated Charities was not will
ing to keep the children any longer. On
the showing made the court Issued the
order for the boys to be turned over to
the society and that the county pay the
society $50 for taking the children. Lanlng
ham drew the money the same afternoon
and hurried the children out of town.
It was not until the next day that the
officers of the Associated Charities learned
of the removal of the boys. They deny
the statement that the association was
anxious to get rid of the children. Mrs.
81ms, president of the Associated Chari
ties, states that arrangements were being
made to place the children with some of
the relatives.
Colonel W. F. Baker, member of the
Board of Supervisors, who was present In
court when Judge Thornell made the order
turning the two boys over to the Children's
Home society, says that Agent Lanlngham
misrepresented the facts In the case to
him. Complaint has been made before by
the county supervisors of Agent Lanlng-
ham's methods and Colonel Baker stated
yesterday that the board would very likely
refuse to allow the Children's Home so
ciety to take any' more children from this
county.
PLAN TO BIY MASONIC TEMPLE
Royal Areannm snd Masonie Bodies
to Secure It.
Fidelity council. Royal Arcanum, which
Is one of the strongest fraternal organiza
tions In the city. Is considering the advis
ability of joining with the several Masonic
bodies In the purchase of the Masonic tern
pie building as a permanent home for the
two organizations. The matter Is In the
hands of a committee of fourteen members
of Fidelity council, which will confer this
week with a like committee from the sov
eral Masonlo lodges. These comprise the
Royal Arcanum committee: Charles A.
Beno, O. H. Nlcoll, Charles Swaine, P. C.
DeVol, J. E. Hollenbeck, H. U McNItt,
Richard Green, L. I Evans, A. T. Flick-
inger, C. F. Kimball, W. L. Thlckstun,
A. E. Brock, P. H. Wind and George F.
Hughes.
The proposition now under consideration
Is, in the event of the two organizations
acquiring possession of the Masonic temple.
for the Royal Arcanum to occupy the en
tire second floor of the building and the
several Masonic bodies to retain the occu
pation of the entire third floor. The Com
mercial college, which now Is In posses
sion of the second floor, will, as soon as
the publlo library is moved Into the new
Carnegie building, now nearlng comple
tion, occupy the rooms on the third floor
of the Merrlam block now used by the
public library.
The Masonlo temple originally cost tf4,
000, but it is understood it can today be
purchased for from $25,000 to $30,000. The
Masonlo Temple Building association's In
corporation for twenty years expired In the
early part of last year and since then the
stockholders have been unable to come to
any agreement In regard to the building.
A proposition for the several Masonic
bodies to acquire the stock and building
appears to have fallen through, but the
present proposition for the Masonic bodies
and the Arcanum lodge to purchase the
building, if is said, has met with much
favor. The proposition provides that both
organizations shall own an equal propor
tion of the stock and that at no time shall
one hold more than the other.

erty of the members and officers of the
club Is expressly exempt. The object of
the club is given as entertainment. It was
first endeavored in the secretary of state's

Includes Street Railways.
Governor A. B. Cummins favors Includ
ing street railways in the anti-pass bill
that he hopes to see the next general as
sembly enact Into law. A movement Is al
ready under way to give the bill prestige.
Governor Cummins would make the bill
apply to every person except employes of
the roads and would have it also apply to
these if they are also in the employ of the
state. This would prohibit giving passes
to legislators or others on the plea that
they are hired as attorneys or In other
capacities. The bills. Introduced by Senator

eral assemblies have applied only to state
officials, legislators and delegates' to polit
ical conventions.

experience In the Humane society work she
finds that the offspring In too many cases

are from mixed marriages. She declares
that the state of Iowa should cover Its
face with shame at such a condition.

Senate Has Big Discussion on Band Behind
Closed Doors.
ARISES FROM SANTO DOMINGO PROTOCOL
Disposition Among Senators to Dis
cuss Subject of Our Responsibility
for Commercial Morality of
Small Republics.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 12.-(Speclol.)
Senator Tom Carter oS Montana, who re
entered the senate this month after an ab
sence o six years,' expresses the opinion
that the special session of congress may
extend for an Indefinite period. It was be
lieved that ten days would suffice to com
plete the pending business, and this esti
mate would doubtless have proved ac
curate, but the discussion over the Santo
Domingo protocol has developed a disposi
tion among senators to go Into the whole
subject of the responsibilities of the United
States In the matter of guaranteeing the
commercial morality of the republics of
the western continent.
While all these discussions are held be
hind closed doors the senate realizes that It
Is Impossible to maintain secrecy as to the
drift of the arguments pro and con. In
fact. It Is always possible when necessary
to obtain practically a verbatim report of
the discussions. Senator Carter violates no
rule, therefore, when he expresses the
opinion that there Is small prospect of an
early end to the debate on the Santo
Domingo treaty and ho does not hesitate to
express his belief that It will be nearer the
middle of April than the middle of March
when the extra session will reach an ad
journment. In the meantime the president has post
poned the date of his departure upon his
western trip, as he cannot well leave the
capital during the session of the senate.
Land Rush to I'tah.
It Is likely that there will be a rush of
eastern land hungry men to Utah In the
early summer. The president will Issue a
proclamation throwing open to homestead
entry several million acres of land em
braced within the Uinta, reservation in
that state as soon as the Indian office
can complete the allotment of lands to the
Indians entitled to them. The samo
methods which were adopted when the
Rosebud lands In South Dakota were
opened will be used In disposing of the
Utah lands. That Is to say, the right to
select will be awarded by lot under the or
dinary regulations of the Interior depart
ment. As soon as the proclamation Is pre
pared advertisements will be published In
newspapers in all the state capitals and
every man with enough capital to pay his
fare to Utah and buy a team and a few
farming Implements will have an equal
chance with every other citizen of the
country, no matter where he may reside.
Advances In Rates and Costs.
Within the next few day tlie senate com
mittee on interstate commerce will begin
the Inquiry into freight rates and general
railroad affairs. The hearings promise to
bring to Washington representatives of all
the leading railroads of the country and
many of tho biggest railroad men. In this
connection the bureau of labor has prepared
a series of tables showing the percentage
of Increase In freight and passenger rates
from 1893 to 1902, together with a similar
table showing the Increase In the cost of
materials used In railway maintenance. Ac
cording to these tables the Increase In rates
Is not nearly so high as the enhanced ex
penses would seem to warrant.
This Is one of the tables, 100 representing
the average for the years Included:

have purchased enough of the stock ot the
building to control It and will turn It over
to the lodge. The fine quarters in the Beck
building burned last June and all efforts
to secure new quarters or to build a new
building have heretofore failed.

How to Get Health
The Secret of Restoring Health L!ea
la Replacing the Same Substances
to the Body That Have Become
Impoverished or Wasted
By disease, overwork, worry, expo
sure or abuse. When you are run
down, getting thin, weak, and tire on
tbe slightest exertion, the life and
strength of your blood are wearing
out. When you grow irritable, melan
choly and nervous your norve force is
decaying and vitality is becoming low.
Disease acts on those whose blood is
watery, impoverished or impure, and
never affects persons who have plenty
of rich and pure blood. Dr. Chase's
Blood and Nerve Food supplies what
is lacking in the blood and nerve
force. It contains everything that
makes new and rich blood and perfect
nerves, in fact, it is blood Itself the
very essence of nerve force, making
it the grandest of all tonics for the
sick, convalescent and overworked. It
. restores vim, vigor and vitality to
aged and worn out people, and im
parts a glow of health to pale and
sallow people. Price 60 cents.

It a misdemeanor for the head of any bu

creates a deficiency Is aimnnble to Imme

A New York member called at one of

certain Improvements In fdernl building
made In his district. Such Improvements
have usually been made out of the general

have made. 1 will not grunt your request
nor will I consider It at all for the present.
