Eat More Beans
Serve Van Camp's pork and beans, an J
see what you save on your meat bills
, Beans are Nature's choicest food 84 per cent nutriment.
Like meat in food value not like it in cost.
'. You serve them only once a week, maybe, because they
are hard to prepare. They should be a daily food. There
is far more reason for eating; beans than potatoes.
You will eat them more frequently when you know Van
Camp's.
Each can of Van Camp's means a meal
always ready to serve in ten minutes
Heat the can in hot water then open. That's all.
Then you have a royal dish. -Beans that are nutty, not
mushy. Beans that are mealy, not soggy. Beans that are
easy to digest, because , of the heat that we apply in our
ovens.
Beans with sparkling; . tomato sauce baked into them.

Van Camp's pork and beans
baited with tomato sauce
There is no other brand that compares with them.
We pay $2.10 per bushel to get the best beans the
whitest and plumpest, all picked out by hand. We could
buy beans for 30 cents.
We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce
as some sauce would cost ready-made. We use only vine
ripened tomatoes.
That is how our beans get their sparkling test.
Yen will never be content with home
cooked beans when you once know ours
Home-cooked beans are heavy and hard to digest, be
cause you lack sufficient heat. Our ovens are heated to
245 degrees.
Home-cooked beans are mushy and broken, because jc
can't bake them in live steam, as we do. Ours are nutty,
mealy and whole.
Home-cooked beans lack our savor and teat, because the
tomato sauce isn't baked with the beans, as we do it.

BANKERS DISCUSS GUARANTY
Practically All of Speaker! of Opinion
it Would Be Good Thing.
SYSTEM NEEDS SAFEGUARDS
Largest Attendance at Convention la
History sf Oroon rivo ffleera
Elected for the Enislag
Year.
"With governmetal guaranty you
have the absolute confidence of the publio
and every dollar of money can do busi
ness." declared D. I Helnshelmer, pres
ident of the First National bank of Glen
wood, at the annual meeting of group five,
Iowa Bankers' association, which was held
at the Grand hotel yesterday.
The proposed governmental guaranty of
bank deposits was the prlnolpal subject
discussed Informally at the meeting, MT.
Helnshelmer, who for many years has
been a vigorous advocate of the proposed
system, opening the discussion by request.
The discussion wss most general and all
of the speakers practically endorsed the
plan as a good one, providing tt could be
carried out in a aafe and practical man
ner. Mr.. Helnshelmer . emphasised the argu
ment that governmental guaranty would
Inspire confidence tn every depositor and
would prevent panlca that arise through
lack of confidence. He declared his be
lief that private deposits were entitled to
the same privilege as the deposits of pub
lic funds, which are guarahteed.
Attention was called to the adoption of
the plan In Oklahoma, but the speakers
agreed that tt had not been In operation
there sufficiently long for judgment to be
passed upon Its probable success. One of
the speakers advanced the opinion that If
the guarantee 'was to bs made, all banking
Institutions, Including national, state and
private, should have their deposits guar
anteed after thorough examination by the
proper officials. It waa also auggeeted that
the guaranty plan would do much to fore
stall postal savings banks.
Plan Needs Safeguarding-.
Hon. J. T. Brooks expressed It as his
opinion that the plan of a governmental
guaranty would eventually come, but the
plan would have to be properly safe
guarded to prevent dishonest men golnc
Into the banking business. The necessity
for a banker to have personally the con
fidence of the people would be done away
with under the govermental guarantee sys
tem, Mr. Brooks contended.
The meeting was the largest attended
ever held by the group, no less than
seventy representatives of the leading
banking Interests o southwestern Iowa
being In attendance. As many of the
bankers desired to leave for home on the
early afternoon trains, the program was
carried out at one continuous session,
lasting from 10 a. m. to 1:30, at which time
the meeting closed and the bankers ad
journed to the dining room, whei a
daintily appointed luncheon was served.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year and the adoption by unanimous vote
of a resolution endorsing James Hunter of
Mindun for treaaurer of the Iowa Bankers'
association, the annual meeting of which
la to be held In Sioux City, June 11 and 12,
constituted the entire business transacted
by the meeting.
These officers we elected: Chairman,
James Hunter, Minden; secretary, G. W.
Cole, Woodbine; executive committee,
Charles Wood, Logan; E. E. Hart. August
Bereshetm. C. E. Price, Council Bluffs;
L. E. Potter, Harlan.
Praise tor Bankers.
In hla address of welcome W. 8. Baird,
vice president of the State Savings bank
of thla city, referred to the high tribute
paid the bankera of the country during the
financial stringency last far), when, he de
clared, the people showed the strongest
confidence In the thorough Integrity of the
men at the head of the banks. Mr. Baird
declared that money was a measure of
life energy and that the banka being In
charge of money were "the greatest pre
servers and conservators of human energy
ever conceived by the mind of man."
George Walters of Harlan responded
briefly to the address of welcome, express
ing pleasure at the hearty welcome ac
corded the bankers by the cltlsena cf Coun
cil Bluffs, In which city he said he waa al
waya perfectly at home and he was sure
the other members of the association felt
the same.
"The Late Unpleasantness and Chicago
Banka. and Bankers" waa the subject of
an address by Henry Meyer, cashier of
the Harrison National bank of Chicago.
The late financial flurry was referred to
by Mr. Meyer ss "one of the moat remark
able affairs in the financial history of this
country or sny other." He traced condi
tions prevailing Immediately before the
flurry and told of the plans adopted by
the banks of Chicago for meeting the fi
nancial stringency. The apeaker empha
sised the Importance and value of organ
isation In meeting conditions such as pre
vailed. Aekley Howard, vice president of the
First National bank of Sioux City, spoke
at some length on "Financial Legislation
Now Pending," but did not express him
self aa In favor of any of the plansunder
consideration. He advised against " hasty
legislation and advocated a currency that
would be safe and relatively nonfluctuat
Ing as the thing most to be desired.
1 The program waa brought to a close with
a short talk by J. M Kelley of Macedonia
on the cause of panics, which he said was
lack of confidence on the part of the peo
ple, who consequently withdrew their
money from the banka. Mr. Kelley op
posed aaset currency on the grounds that
such a system would merely ' aggravate
existing difficulties.

Matters In District Court.
The trial of the Weber divorce suit was
begun before Judge Macy in the district
court yesterday, but shortly after the noon
recess the hearing was continued until
Saturday In .order to secure the attendance
of an important witness. Louis A. Weber,
the plaintiff. Is a railway mall clerk.
Mra. Byrd Weber, the defendant, filed
a cross petition asking that the decree
be given her aa well as substantial ali
mony. A number of lettera were introduced
on behalf of Mr. Weber and the testi
mony at tlmea waa highly salacious. The
parties to the suit are well known and
there was quite a crowd in court to hear
the evidence.
The case of the state of Iowa against
L. C. Hanlon of Waterloo, la,, indicted
about a year ago on a charge of fraud
arising out of the organization of an
insurance company connected with the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, was dismissed
yesterday on motion of the county attorney.
The personal Injury damage suit of Sam
uel Peterson agalnat the Street Railway
company, was settled out of court and
dismissed.
Marlon Hedgepeth, the Missouri ex-con-vlct,
who waa convicted of blowing the
safe of the Council Bluffs Transfer &
Stove Storage company, filed notice of
of appeal In the supreme court yesterday.
A motion for a new trial In the ault
of Mrs. J. T. Beam, against William Pfaff,
a South Main street saloonkeeper, was
filed by the plaintiff yesterday. Mrs. !
Beam sued for 16.000 damages for alleged
sale of Intoxicating liquor to her husband
and son, the latter a minor. She waa
awarded $125 by the Jury and thla she
does not consider sufficient.
The grand Jury reconvened yesterday
and It Is expected will be In session until
Friday. This Is the third session for the
grand Jury at this term of court. Several
new cases will come before It and Indict
ments are looked fqr sgalnat the four
prisoners who broke Jail recently.
Farm Residence and Barn Barns.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed the
residence and large barn on the W. T.
Seaman farm, about one mile east of the
Iowa School for the Deaf, yesterday morn
ing.' Harry F. Pierce of thla city recently
purchased the plaoe and moved onto it
about a month ago. The entire contents of
the houae and the barn were destroyed.
The loss Is estimated at about 16,500, which
It was stated will not be quite halt covered
by the Inaurance. Mr. Seaman's loss Is
considerable, as he had not removed all
of his belongings from the place.
The origin of the fire Is a mystery. It
started In the hayloft of the barn, a com
paratively new structure, which cost $3,000.
By the tims it waa discovered tt had gained
such headway that there was no way to
check It. Driven by a strong wind, the
flames soon communicated to the dwelling
house, and it waa soon seen that this build
ing was also doomed. The stock waa gotten
out of the barn, but considerable new farm
machinery, purchased by Mr. Pierce a few
day. ago, was entirely conaumed. But
lif.Ue of the household effects were saved.
The only aolutton of the origin of the
Tire is that It may have been started by
tramps who alept overnight In the barn
loft.

HULL GETS INTO CAMPAIGN
Lively Times Coming Up in Seventh
Congressional District.
JUDGE PROUTY IS ALSO ACTIVE
Politicians at Variance as to Effect
Both Congressional and Sena
torial Campaign of Ciat.
mine Declaration.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May a.-(Special.)-Con-gressman
J. A. T. Hull Is expected to
reach the city tomorrow morning and will
devote the remaining week and a half of
the primary election campaign to looking
after hla fences tn this district. Much of
this time will be devoted to Polk county.
Just at this time there Is considerable dis
cussion among the pollttclana aa to what
will be the effect of the governor's dec
laration for Prouty at the Monday night
meeting In the Auditorium. Hull men are
claiming that It will cost Governor Cum
mins 1,000 votes. Cummins and Prouty
men say that It will cost Hull votes, but
will not lose the governor anything.
There Is considerable Interest In the Sev
enth district situation Just at this time.
Hull has spent little time In the district
since the campaign opened. He has spent
practically all his time attending to his
duties In congress, while Prouty has been
touring the district making speeches. Fur
thermore, Judge Prouty plans for the re
mainder . of the campaign, beginning
Thursday night, to have from two to four
meetings each night In Dea Moines, with
speeches by himself and supporters. He
will furthermore not neglect the other
counties In the district.
Tet, to all appearances, the Hull men
are not alarmed at the situation. They
feel confident that Hull will be victorious.
Charles Johnston, who has always been a
supporter of Hull, said today that Cum
mins will lose many votes by supporting
Prouty, but that ho will not lose 1,000.
Johnston Is an antl-Cummlns man. He
said that Cummins will carry the Seventh
district by S.500 to 4,000 majority.' He be
lieves that Hull will carry It by close to
the same figures.
In all campaigns In former years Cum
mins' and Hull's Interests have never
clashed. The election of governor for the
first two terms of Cummins were In odd
numbered! years and the congressional elec
tion In even numbered years. Two years
ago when the biennial election amendment
made a change there was no opposition to
Hull, and hence again no conflict.
Bids for Mich Coal.
The State Board of Control today began
advertising for bids for 90,000 tons of coal.
This will be the entire supply for next
winter for all the state Institutions, four
teen in number. The state asks bids for
all kinds of coal and then makes Its selec
tion according to price. In many of the
state Institutions high smokestacks have
been erected that permit the burning of
the cheaper grades of coal.
Flavin to Rome.
Right Rev. Monslgnor Flavin, pastor of
St. Ambrose Catholic church of this city,
will shortly go to Rome on a pilgrimage
to the Vatican. He will sail some time
next month and - will be gone f of six or
eight weeks.
Fair Board Meets.
President Cameron and Vice President
Brown of the Sta,te Board of Agriculture,
who with Secretary Simpson form the exec
utive committee of the board, met today to
complete the arrangements for the amuse'
ment featurea'of the state fair. The stake
entries for the races have closed and there
are Z entries or fully 100 more than ever
before.
Agalnat Poisoning Babies.
The Iowa State Medical society today In
tension here decided against poison for
babies, or at least what amounts to that,
The doctors decided that If babies are prop
erly fed there will be no need for doping
them with medicine to make them sleep.
which the doctors characterised as being
poison In too many instances. This was
brought out by the discussion of a paper
by Dr. C. F. Wharer of Fort Madison,
There were 200 doctors registered at the
Savery by noon and tonight the number
had swelled to nearly 400. The annual
convention opened this morning and will
continue through Friday. This afternoon
the Women'a club of thla city gave a musl
cale at the old Hoyt Sherman home, now
an art gallery, for the wives of the doctors
who are attending. . Thursday the women
guests wilt be given an automobile tour
of the city. Thursday night the annual
banquet of the society will be held at the
Savery.
Women Doctora Meet.
At the meeting of the Society of Iowa
Medical Women, preceding the moetlng of
the Iowa State Medical society here tooday,
Dr. Agnes Eichelburger of Sioux City was
elected president of the society. The other
officers elected are: First vice president,
Dr. Lily Klmmer of Dubuque; second vice
president. Dr. Lena Means of Dee Molnet;
treasurer. Dr. Evelyn Frlsble of Des
Moines: secretary, Dr. Georgia Stewart of
Dea Moines.
College Gets Endowment
Des Moines college will add $50,000 to its
equipment In the way of new buildings
this year. A committee that haa been
working In Des Moines has succeeded In
raising $24,000. It waa agreed that If W.OOu
waa raised In Des Moines the trustees
would raise another $-3,000 outside of Des
Moines In the state. The trustees have
already begun work on that portion and
have raised about $12,000 already.
Hope to Modify Injunction
The supervisors of Pottawattamie and
Harrison counties met In this city yester
day afternoon, but owing to the recent In
junction Issued by the district court found
their hands tied and. that they were unable
to do anything further In connection with
the drainage ditches now practically com
pleted.
A conference with one of the attorneys
for the petlttonera for the Injunction was
held snd an sgreement was reached
whereby the court will be asked today to
modify the restraining order so that pay-

aged 7$ yeara, an old resident of Albion,

CRESTON-Klght-year-old Hasel Morgan
of near Hopevllle was bitten by a snake
yesterday at the farm home. The little
girl was hunting hens' egga and put her
hand Into a dark nest. The snake was in

of an electrical shock received while har
rowing In the feld during one of the recent
thunder showers. He was driving a team
of four, two horses and two mules, all of
which were Instantly killed. The teams
were valued at $800. Mr. Rohner probably
owes his life to the fact that when he pur
chased the drag he removed the steel seat,
replacing It with a wooden one, which par
tially overcame the bolt of lightning.
DAVENPORT J. C. Benedict of thla city
has stirred up the school authorities by
charging In an open letter to the school
board that the rule that children must
remain after' school If they ask to leave
the schoolroom except at recess caused the
death of his little daughter, Emma, who
waa attending school No. 4 tn this city.
The rule, he says, causes much suffering
among the pupils, and tn the case of his
little daughter so Injured her health as to
cause her death. The statement has caused
much discussion and demand for Investiga
tion. Superintendent of Schools F. Ia
Smart denies that such a rule exists.

CRESTON R. E. Hobson of the Jewelry
firm of Hobson & Ramgren of this city
has fallen heir to a share of an Australian
fortune, belonging to the late Joseph Hob
son, a former Union county man. Tears
ago, when the state was young, Joseph
Hobson lived at West Vnlon, near the pres
ent town of Thayer. Because of hardships
snd privations he derided to go to Aus
tralia and "strike it rich," which he appar
ently did. A few weeks ago a notice ap-
f eared in the local papers from an Aus
rallan lawyer asking for Information of
the heirs of the late Joseph Hobson. R.

SWEDES TO ERECT BUILDING
Stork 'Company ' Formed to Erect
Structure as Home for Varlona
Societies.
Some time ago a stock company, the
Wasa Hall and Building association, was
formed by a number of leading Swedish
Americana of the community for the pur
pose of erecting a building to be used for
the meeting place of Swedish lodges and
councils, the building to be at leaat three
stories In height. The company waa In
corporated under the lawa of the ataie of
Nebraska with a capitalisation of $38,000,
with the following offlcera: President, John
Larson; vice president, Victor Daniel; secre
tary, Axel Tldblad; treasurer, August Wld
lng. An option on a lot on Nineteenth street,
between Harney and Farnam, waa secured,
and since then the project has met with
the co-operation of many of the Swedish
residents of the community. Wednesday
night a meeting was held In the Odd Fel
lows' hall at Fourteenth and Dodge streets,
attended by an enthusiast lo gathering of
Swedish residents of Omaha, and plana were
formulated for a monster mass meeting to
be held in the near future.
The meeting Wednesday night was pre
sided over by John Laraon and was ad
dressed .bp C. O. Lobeck, Nels Lundgren,
Alvtn F.' Johnson and Fred Flodman. Each
dwelt upon the need of such a building and
the advantages that would be derived by
the Swedish people of the community from
auch a building, which would be self-supporting
and would be the general Swedish
headquarters of the Missouri valley, where
visiting members of. the nationality could
be welcomed, with lounging and reading
rooms. The success of similar buildings In
Minneapolis and Chicago were cited, and
at the cloae of the meeting considerable
stock waa subscribed for.

Litigation Over Conrt Honee.
PENDER, Neb., May 21. (Special.) The
old court house haa became entirely lnade
quate to provide suitable quarters or i
safe place for the county records. The
county board entered Into a contract with
Mr. Severson, proprietor of the Palace hotel
for aultable quarters. A large vault was
constructed and several rooms rearranged

large and commodloua court rooms. As
soon aa these were ready for occupancy the
board was enjoined. This esse has had ua
time In court and has been appealed to
the supreme court. The question is
whether the county board has any au

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Sam Lawrnce, Janitor at City Jail,
Prevent a Jail Delivery.
HOLE BATTERED IN THE WALL
Almost Large Enough to Allow Men
to Crawl Throngh When Observed
by Lawrence nnd the Police
Notified.
8am Lawrence, the negro Janitor of the
city Jail building, prevented a Jail delivery
yeaterday afternoon, when the prisoners
lacked but a moment of gslnlng their
liberty.
In the Jail were three prlsonera all
charged with major offenses. They were
W. DeWltt White, for robbery in Sioux
City; Ralph Piper, fugitive sentenced to
a term in the state reformatory, and Max,
Barosky, wanted In Concordia, Kan., for
forgery. In the old Jail the men were all
In the large room and apparently they
conspired together and had frlenda on the
outside. , They secured a crowbsr with
which they attacked the wall on the south
near the steel cage. Lawrence from the
engine room heard them hammering on
the wall early In the day and called the
chlef'a attention to the noise. Chief Brtgg
went Into the room, but failed to discover
the attack on the wall. The prisoners
had hung a piece of canvas over the
breach. In the dim light tne chief over
looked the break.
About 4 p. m. yeaterday Lawrence again
had occasion to pass thro'vgh the boiler
room just as ths break was being widened
to let the men through. He heard a brick
fall and saw the end of the crowbar come
through. He shouted to alarm the pris
oners and they scampered away from th!r
work. He then called the officers out of
the Jail and showed them the bresk In
the well. The hole was large enough for
a small man to get through, but none had
yet tried it. Any one of tbe three la aald
to have charges to face which would make
a chance to escape a great temptation.
As soon as he learned of the break In

the wall Chief Brlggs ordered ths moa
locked up In the cage. There was a little
hope extended by the chief to young Piper,
but his participation tn the jatl delivery
will probably result tn a withdrawal of
any clemency which had been contwn
plated.
