TROUBLE FOR THE BAPTISTS
Central UniTtrsitj of Fall Balks on ths
Coisolidatiou Echini.
REFUSES TO PULL DOWN ITS BLINDS
tat Priater Ha a niar Job oa HI
Hands Gettlag Oat the Reports
of Stat Officer aad Legle
latlvo Work.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. 1. (Special.) Cen
tral university of Pella, la., has announced
to Its friends and alumni that whatever
th Baptist denomination does Central
university will continue to keep open and
matriculate students. This may prove to
b a determining factor In the actions of
the Baptist denomination of the state re
garding Its educational Institutions.' For
years th question of what to do with Its
educational Institutions has bothered the
Baptist denomination of Iowa, Th de
nomination has two schools, neither of
which belongs to It That Is, there are
two colleges Central university of Pella
and Des Moines college of thl city both
of which profess to bl Baptist Institu
tions, but neither of which Is owned by
th Baptist denomination In fee simple.
Therefore the denomination has had
troublfc In getting its wishes carried out
The denomination In the Stat generally
recognise that It Is not strong enough
to support two educational Institutions,
but that If It could concentrate all Its
support on one school It could build up a
strong Institution that would be a credit
among the educational Institutions of .the
state. The Iowa Baptist association has
on a number of occasions decided that It
would thereafter support but one educa
tional Institution and the members of the
denomination have continued on their way
dividing' their support between the two
institutions. At the last convention of th
state association last summer the subject
of the educational Institution was the
biggest question up. It was again de
cided that the support of the denomina
tion would be given to only one Institu
tion, but It was decided with a little more
emphasis than on previous occasions. It
was unanimously decided that a commu
te should be appointed to make a thor
ough Investigation of the situation and
report, making a recommendation wher
th denomination should locate Its educa
tional Institution. Waterloo desires that
th denomination locate ther and
abandon, both the De Moines and Pella
college. This-committee. is now at won
and It was the Intention at the last utate
convention to determine , the-matter defl
nltely at the next convention for good and
for all and to provide that from and after
th definite location of th college no other
educational Institution-should be permitted
to raise fund by soliciting in Baptist
churches and that Baptists generally
would concentrate all their support on the
one Institution. Now Pella has announced
that whatever the action of the state con
vention Central university will continue
to keep its doors open. Prominent mem
bers of th denomination consider this
an important factor In th mattar, but not
necessarily one that will decide th com
mlttee in. favor of Palis.
' Waterloo Waata School.
Waterloo la very, anxious .to secure. the
location of the denomination's college there
and wllL without doubt raise $100,000 for Its
endowment and erection of buildings. If It Is
. located, there. Des Moines college is ready
and- willing, seemingly to abide by any de
clidon of the state association, even to oloe
tng up" the college her and removing the
institution to Pella or Waterloo. Money
has been raised for the erection of buildings
here, a gymnasium and a muslo hall, but
these' ar held in abeyance pending the de
cision of the state association. Des Moines
college professors and the friends of the In
stitution believe and hope that the de
cision of the committee of the association
will be in favor, of Des Mqlnes. There ara
alrieady some good, substantial buildings
here. The Institution here is the oldest In
th state and has beautiful grounds and
abundance of land In North Des Moines,
which Is a quiet and beautiful residence
section of th city. If th Institution was
abandoned her th property could be sold
for a large sum, as It Is In one of the best
residence section's of the city and the land
Is high and level and excellent for rest
dences.
. Maeh to Be Printed.
Fifteen state reports, making, a total of
6,000 or 7,000 pages of book matter, has been
turned over to the new state printer to be
printed. The work of changing state bind
era was comparatively easy. Today when
the new stat binder took charge he bought
out the machinery and equipment of State
Binder Ted ford of Mount Ayr and paid htm
for the binding a far as It had progressed.
Th new .stat binder can aatly continue
the same employes and complete the work.
But with the state printer It is different
State Printer Murphy has had his work
'; done on contract at the plant of th Iowa
Printing company. State Printer English
haa a plant of his own and will use different
type. He could not take a work on which
the type was half set and complete It It
Is therefore necessary for Murphy to oom
plete all work on hand. Fifteen reports
have been prepared and th,a work. J jiot
started on them because of the strike in ths
Iowa Printing company plant. Th English
firm employ union labor. Beginning today
he is stat printer, but he has already
started work on a lot of the reports. With
ths legislature coming on with all Its work
he will be badly rushed, but haa on a night
force and Is keeping his plant going twenty
four hours a day. Th reports that he has
on hand are those of the labor oom mis

Foreman, gaperlateadeat and Man
ager, la Tnr a, Called Dowa
' Sat Cooled OI,
The managers of th construction depart
ment ot th Pleasant Valley electric road
waa disturbed tor th second . Urn that
week when Jenktna. th foreman of th
gang came In and told him that he could
not go on with the work,
Bee here, Jenkins, you've made a mess of
the thing, Just the same as Tompkins did
Monday. He came back with th same sort
of a story. It made m mad than an your
story makes ma made now. Thl road haa
got to go through by hook or crook. What
is the obstruction you hint at, and why do
you not set the gang to work at once 7"
"The fellow will not strlk a pick Into
th ground nor lift a Shovel. .They simply
will not face the muslo and start In. Aa for
the obstruction, well, two women and a
baby-.".
'Bah! And you cannot force the men to
work?"
'I cannot do a thlrig with them, Italians
are queer fellows; they're a little supersti
tious about the thing. X guess the road will
have to go around, the obstruction,"
'Go around nothing) Man, are you madT
This company will not stand for any snich
fool business aa this and at this late day,
loo. We hav the right-of-way, and the
road goes through .where . h waa sur
veyed."
"Yes, that's all right; I know all about
the law and that sort of thing. I could
force a way through-rbut this new feature
comes up and downs the. I'm ready to go
on with th construction of the roadbed
but I cannot"
'Then I'll see what I can do myself, that's
an. Good morning."
Jenkins went out with a smile on his face.
leaving the manager more disturbed and
perlexed than ever. , -. . , . -
"It's queer state, of affairs If a oorpor
atlon with barrels of money back of It can
not run a ten mile road without meeetlng
a snag. Two women and a baby! What
sort of fool business Is this? I'll soon find
out for "Myself."
James "Eidred, the'ybung manager, found
out all about it when he rrtv4 on the
spot with twenty lusty, olive skinned fel
lows behind htm.
In front of a dilapidated structure was
seated a young girl -rocking a baby. The
girl was sleepy and -tired. The baby was
cross and fretful. Back of th girl, sitting
on the low step, waa a weary looking
woman. About the women was a bevv of
yellow haired youngsters of various ages,
all curious and open eyed.
Eidred approached' the girl and said:
You will hav to move."
But the girl only looked at him with
sleepy eyes, cronned, and rocked the fret
ful child more vigorously. Eidred looked
from the woman In the, doorway to the men.
She uttered not a word until he-addressed
her:
"Msdam, are you aware that you ara ob
structing the progress of our workT"
"I reckon I am, stranger. That' what
Susan I there ton that's what I and the
kids are here for. It's all because we pro
pose to shunt the thing off one side," came
from the bedraggled creature.
"But, madam, the line has been surveyed.
You will have to move. Your place haa
oeen condemned. . YOU will be 'paid for it
This property belongs now to the Pleasant
Valley road."
"Yes, so folks say, I know, stranger, that
your line goes through our kitchen. I saw
the surveyor shoot her. With a spyglass. But
th road ain't gin' that way."
"But the law, madam; you know we have
th right-of-way-' " . ...
"Don't know any law nor don't want to.
I know that your road, even If ft was
oacaea oy me presiaent, could n t run
through the kitchen end tear up our back
yard where Jlmmle Is"
"Ah! so there le a guard In the rear as
well as here? With your permission may I
Interview the rear guard?"
"I reckon 'twon't hurt you any. , Step
round the corner of th bouse; Susan, rock
that child!"
Eidred passed around the structure and
entered th weed grown back yard. Under
a stunted apple tree was a small marble
slab with a fw flower growing about lb
He drew near, bent lower and read th
word carved upon th tonl
James Slocum Aged 17.
He saved four hundred live In
pleasant Valley in 1900.
Jlmmle was drowned.
Ther was a wild look on Eidred' face
and a soft ton In his volos when h reap
peared at th front and said to th woman:
"So that Is th reason for obstructing our
work? Your son waa drowned, it seems."
"Yes, Jlmmle was -drowned. He rode
Black Bess down the valley to warn the
folks when the big dam busted up in th
hills. Every man was saved an' an' while
he was crossln' the bridge It went down
with him an' Black Bess. We ain't ever
been able to buy a ' stone for Bess. The
apple tree that's ovr her seems Ilk a
likely thing In place of-a stene."
"Madam, you need not move that Is. not

from the kitchen Into the dining room
and dropped Into a large chair near a
window feeing the atreet The curtains
were drawn and the man at the door was
unable to look Into the room. Mrs. Ewald
wore a pair ot rubber gloves for kitchen
work, and she carefully smoothed them
out aa ahe waited for the "beggar" to go
away. Thete was another ring and ahe
walked Into the hall with the intention of
opening the door. Aa ahe waa about to
put her hand on the knob the door sud
denly flew open, the lock dropped to the
floor and a smooth-faced man about 12

"Once he threw me down In the hall and
I fell on my right elbow, bruising It
Then he caught me again and I somehow
managed to get the Jimmy away from

heard me. The moment that, I got my
hands on the jimmy the man let go hla

rushed to the window. I smashed the glass
