Eleventh Animal Meetlnsr Commence
This Morning,
The eleventh annual meeting of the
United tanl8h Evangelical Lutheran church
will open this morning for a six days'
session at the First Presbyterian church.
A number of the delegates arrived yester
day, among the first being Rev. I,. Johnson
of Tuxedo Park, Bt. Louis, secretary of the
association. It Is expected that about 1,000
delegates, ministers and members of the
church will be In attendance. The proceed
ings will be entirely In the Danish language.
The United Danish Evangelical Lutheran
church was formed In 1896 by the union
of the Danish Evangelical Luthern church
and the Danish Evangelical Lutheran
Church of North America, both these bodies
being offshoots from what Is called the
mother church In Denmark, the Danish
Lutheran church. At the time of the union
the membership was 11.000, an 1 It has now
Increased to 18,000, with 15S churches, forty
Ave home missions, ninety-nine ministers
and a business organization that last year
expended $67,000 In building now houses of
worship. The union was effected after two
years of negotiating at the annual sessions
of the two bodies In Minneapolis, which,
after the union was consummated, became
the first annual meeting of the present
organisation.
At this meeting a secretary, treasurer
and two members of the church council
will be elected. Rev. O. B. Christiansen
of Audubon, la., president of the associa
tion, holds office for two years more, hav
Ing been elected at the meeting last year
at Kenmore, N. D.
The local committee, of which Rev. J. P.
Heede Is chairman, has erected a large
frame building adjoining the church at the
corner of Ninth street and Avenue A,
where meals will be furnished the visitors.
The homes of the church members and their
friends have been thrown open to the
visitors.

to establish In Council Bluffs a large whole

MAYOR SIGNS WATER FRAXCHUp

Mayor Macrae att'ached Ms official sig

works franchise ordinance passed by the
city council Monday night. The ordinance
will now hare to be published a certain
number of times during a period of thirty
days before tt can be submitted to the

Mayor Macrae stated after he had signed
the measure. "It Is a better ordinance
than I expected we would get. The In
terests of the city are well safeguarded
and It assures many Improvements In the
system In the near future. The enlarging
of the mains In the Implement district
means much to Council Bluffs, probably
more than many. people think. I see no

proved by the people."

IMPORTANT CASES COMING UP
Brown Contempt Case and Portland
Mining- Company- Tax Salts.
The members of the petit Jury panel of
the district court, with the exception of
those impaneled for the trial of the suit
of the Continental Realty company against
F. West, were discharged yesterday by
Judge Wheeler. In dismissing the Jurors
Judge Wheeler complimented them highly,
saying that In point of Intellect he con
sidered the Jury one of tbe best which had
ever served In his court. He thanked them
for their long drawn service, the Jury
having been in attendance since early In
April. In return the members of the Jury
presented Judge Wheeler with a gold chain
and a Masonic emblem, the presentation
being made by C. W. McDonald.
With the Jury cases out of the way. Judge
Wheeler probably will make an assignment
of equity cases today. The contempt case
against J. Brown, the saloon crusader from
Kansas, Is expected to reach a hearing in
the near future, and following that will
come the large number of Injunction suits
brought by Brown against the saloonmen
of this city and other towns in Pottawatta
mie county. Brown has not been In evi
dence much of late, but his attorney, N. A.
Crawford, la authority for the statement
that he will be on hand when the time
oomes for his appearance In court.
There are also about sixty tax cases In
volving the Portland Gold Mining company
which are soheduled for a hearing at this
term of court, and some of these probably
will be taken up the latter part of this
month or early In July. The last batch of
Portland Gold Mining company tag suits,
which number close upon a thousand, will
not come up at this term.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MblNES, la., June 4. 8pecil--Educators
and school men throughout the
state are Interested to a marked degree
over the school situation In Des Moines.
Soarcely over a fortnight ago the people
of the city voted In favor of consolidation
of the thirteen districts which have made
up the city school system for many years.
By a big majority of the vote this propo
sition carried. The measure was sub
mitted to the vote of the people after a
bill to that effect had passed the state
legislature at the Thirty-second assembly.
This bill In the legislature waa desperately
fought by the opponents of the measure.
Now the situation has developed Into a
plot that would servo admirably for the
basis of a comlo opera war or for a South
American revolution.
Schools are legally consolidated. Ths
board of what was formerly ths West Des
Moines district Is now legally constituted
ss the board of the combined districts.
But the wheels of the school system In
Des Moines are blocked today as effect
ually as though a railroad Iron were
thrust into the cogs of a big machine.
The school district heretofore known as
Valley Junction has, through attorneys,
filed an Injunction In the district court
against consolidation. This case may not
be heard until In September, and Judge
McHenry has Issued no Injunction claim
ing that It Is Impossible to Issue an In
junction against consolidation after con
solidation has already been effected. The
plea Is made, however, that this con
solidation was made Illegally, and the en
deavor now la to set It aside.
But three days ago the treasurers and
the trustees of the outside districts held
their meeting and settled up accounts. They i
made an Invoice of stock and moneys on ;
hand. In each instance this amount was
placed In the hands of the district treas-
urers.
Treasurer Burzacott of the Eeast Des
Moines schools had over $300,000 in buildings
and $26,000 In cash. To make a test case he
secured an opinion from County Attorney
De Grafflt as to his (Buracott's) personal
responsibility should the school consolida
tion in the future be proven Illegal and In
the meantime he having turned over the
central board his funds. He was advised
that his bondsmen might be held liable If
the West Side board should spend the
money turned over to It by Burzacotte and
not be In a position to pay It back when
the districts were divided again, If this
latter cdntlngency should happen to be the
Judgment of the court. Consequently Treas
urer Burzacott has refused to turn over
his money. Every other treasurer has fol
lowed his example. Funds are all tied up.
The West Des Moines board has money In
the bank, but will not spend any of It. Be
cause, as it Is legally the head of the en
tire city school system now, it can not
spend a cent in South Des Moines unless
it spends a proportionate amount In North,
East and West Des Moines. The board Is
loath to spend Its own money for the other
districts when these districts are not turn
ing In their cash to the general fund.
So things are at a deadlock and condi
tions have reached a crisis never before
seen tn the history of Iowa schools. Re
pair work amounting to thousands of dol
lars ought to be done this summer. Jan
itors are refusing to work without sala
ries. Things are at a standstill and there
Is no reason wlyr school should begin tn
the fall unless the courts have decided
one way or another before the opening
of the September term. The secretary of
the West Des Moines board refuses to
draw a warrant for expense and the
treasurers of the outside districts are
afraid to spend money that may not be
their own.
Summer Reeorts flatter.
A wall that can be heard all over the
state comes from the summer resorts of,
low. Nothing doing. Nobody suffers so
much from the continued cold weather as
do these places of amusement and recrea
tion. Up at Spirit lake and at Okobojl
there Is weeping and walling and gnashing
of teeth. "Just five weeks ago," a promi
nent hotel manager says, "we threw open
our doors to the public and opened wide
our arms to receive them. You recall
that warm spell In March? Well, we
Judged from that that the season would
arrive early. This Is the condition we are
In: We not only have gone broke, but
we have had to borrow money to keep
warm while waiting for summer boarders.
You know these institutions are run un
der great expense. It is true that we get
good prices for our services, but the fact
