'PHONE Ml With five members of th national house of representatives and other notable speak ers on the program for addresses, the an nual bunquet of the Council Bluffs Com mercial club, to be held ;on the night of Saturday, March 14 at the Grand , hotel, promises to be the most notable in the history of the organisation. Not lrf the history of any organisation in this city, nor on any previous occasion, nave so many notable speakers been heard as will be the case at this banquet. The congressmen who have accepted In vitations to attend the banquet and re spond to toasts'lnclude jjome or the ablest nnd most distinguished members of the house of representatives'. They are Hon. Charles E. I.lttletleld of Kockland, Me.; Hon. James Tuwney of Winona, Minn.; Hon. Washington Gardner of Albion,. Mich., nnd Hon. Francis R. Cushman of Tacoma, Wash. Congressman Walter I.

Bender of this city will be the representative of the Commercial club on the program, and It is hoped that Hon. Lew Genung of Mills county will also be one of the speakers. The matter of securing the notable speak ers for the annual banquet was left en tirely In the hands of Congressman Smith, and a telegram from 111111 received yester day by C. W. McDonald, president of the club, announced the acceptance of his four colleagues to attend and take part in the program. An Invitation has been extended Secre tary ShaW, but he has so far been unable to give any assurance that he will be able to accept It At first It waa thought pos sible to secure the presence of , one or more United States senators, especially Senator Gamble of South Daltota but Congressman Bmilh wrote the committee that the talk of a possible extra session of the senate prevents, me senators from making any arrangements or accepting any Invitations during 'March. Congressman- Littlefield is billed for an address at Oskalooaa, la., on March 15, and Congressman Cushman expects to be In thla vicinity during the middle of March, so he at once accepted the Invitation to at tend the banquet here. Congressman Gardner of Oukland, this- county, will be one of the guests at the banquet.

In an opinion filed by the supreme cmirt today It Is held that women van be Jealous If they wish to and If they annoy their husband by their talkativeness the husband must endure it philosophically. The decision. Is In the case of William Pfann-'becker Against Margaret Pfannebecker, apeuled from Keokuk county.' They were married Sep tember 2, 1-'!U, and the action by the hus band for a divorce wns brought In Septem ber, He charged cruelty on the basis of her accusation of Infidelity. He claimed that she talked to him when he wanted to go to sleep and one night, hearing n noise, he turned up the light and discovered that she had entered the room, and he foared It was for the purpose of killing him. The cort holds In the decision that a cbarse of infidelity made by the wife agtlnst the husband does not constitute the .same ground of legal cruelty that the charge of the husband against the wife does, for men do not suffer from the Implication If un true. .It holds that though he may be annoyed by her talking he must bear it philosophically and suggests that medlcRl' treatment for the wife Is what is needed rather than the divorce courts. Ceilnr Ilaplna Wants Teaehean. Cedar Rapids wants the -stale convention of the Iowa State Teachers' association. It has wanted It every year for several years and has made a close race to take it away from D'es Moines. The executive committee has for some years decided In favor of Des Moines and this committee meets tomorrow in IJes Moines for the pur pose of, determining the matter. This year there is a new'element In the discussion. F. R. Bolton of' Iowa Cltj?, one of the three members of the executive committee", took the responsibility to write to every teacher In tho state and ask their preference as to the meeting place. It Is claimed a great majority of these favor Cedar Rapids as the meeting place. O. M. Elliott of Shel don, one of the members of the committee. Is understood to favor Cedar Rapids and his vote, with Bolton's, will determine the question. F. E. Palmer of Jefferson, the third member. Is understood to favor Dos Mrtlnes. Objection Is made against Des Moines by some teachers who claim that the hotels and restaurants raise their rates during the state convention and that the department stores bring out all their left over goods and try to sell them to the women teachers.

Fi b. 15 -There was little animation In the dealings In stocks today, but decided headway was made In the pries movement against tne rcactloiiuiv tendency which developed yest rday. The first tons of the money market was practically Ig nored on account of the supixmltlon that the tightness of the call money market vas-oue to temporary causes nnd that forces of relief would come into play. Tim principal of these relied ufj.ui Is the secur ing of gold in 1ondon, which Is expected on Monday, when large arrivals are duo there. The strong position disclosed by ths Bank of England in Its weekly statement yesterday cr.ated an Impression that no further obstacles would be opposed to a movement of gold to New York, but ths tone of comment from London today In dicated that financial " authorities tht-ru would feel some continuing dissatisfaction at such a movement. There are reports of coming large withdrawals for South America from that center. Stress Is laid on the probability that Paris will recall the credits tdaced In London In leccmU r, when the Bank of France extended slstance to the Bank of England. A ilo cllne In Interest rates In London, It Is B.ud, would lead to shipments of gold from Lon don to Paris. The New York banks today turned over to the subtreasury some 11.200,000. bcin the remainder of the deposits made wlili the banks In December. The Interior banlia have drawn on their New York corre spondents only to a small extent to nil . these payments, the higher rates for call loan here acting as a discouraging IniJu ence on any reduction of New York ac counts. Estimates of the week's curreni-y movrment indicate a small change In thn cash Item either way. The government withdrawals six weeks ago were thrown over almost entirely Into the averages lor the following weeks helped materially to make the weak showing , of last week's bank statement. Lending In this market by interior bunking Institutions would tend to relieve demands on the local banks, but the further placing of note Issues would constitute a demand for loans on the local banks. Today's addition to these Issues was the ?10,0n0.000 placed by tho Interbor ough Metropolitan, the price at which they were understood to be taken by the bank ers, Indicating an Interest rate of to 7 per cent for the term to their maturity. The rates for time loans, however, show a r-ceding tendency, owing to; the lending here for account of Interior banks. A de cline In the grain exports for the week of 820,(00 bu. of wheat and of 419.000 bu. of corn has some bearing on the exchangs market. The rising money market In Ber lin also Is a factor in the situation. The repression of activity In the market Is belleyed to be due In part to a dcslrs to await the adjournment of congress he fore entering upon extensive market com mitments. The resumption of the Inter state Commerce commission's inquiry Into the Harrlman combination of railroad properties Is another Item of future In fluence to bear on the market, which Is the occasion of some reserve In speculative operations. Not only were dealings held In moderate bounds today, but price move ments of consequence were restricted to comparatively few stocks. A record pries for Anaconda wns an Incident of the day. The sharp advances In Missouri, Kansas & Texas and St. iouls Smithw stern pre- rerrea were unexplained by any news. Realizing sales Impaired the best prices of the day, but the closing tone was steady. Bonds were steady. Total sales par value, 11,280,000. United States bonds were un changed on call.
