Memorial Address. In his memorial address Brother Page said m part: This occasion Is one of more than local Significance. It Is general throughout the order over the whole country. More than a thousand lodges are today making an observance similar to ours. Some of these are In the northland, some are In the southland, and one In the Isles of the orient seas. In all or these assemblages our brothers of the Order of Elks and their friends are gathered for definite purposes. As much as the order admires and appreciates the achievements of some of Its members In various fields of thought and endeavor, yet these occasions are not simply In mem ory of the distinguished, they are pri marily to honor qualities of heart. They are an expression of loving memory for all those who have taken their places in the order and with snal and loyaity serve It and so serve humanity. They are a means of conveying to those outside of the order an Idea of the sentiments which in spire It and of the principles upon which It Is baaed. There Is a widely accepted view that sentiments are things impracticable. As a matter of fact, however, they are among the most practical forces known. They are the source of Inspiration and the stay of endeavor. They give to purpose its power. They are the secret of achieve ment. Men do things because they love something or somebody. Sentiments touch, move, influence, beautify and enoble. If the sentiments that move the human heart and mould It and make the highest and best of manhood and womanhood were to die out of the world It wold be tune for the world Itself to die. All recognise the beneficial effect upon individual life and upon society of certain great fundamental principles of human conduct and rules of action. Certain of these are made particularly prominent in the life of this order. It emphasises charity through numerous agencies of Its own. With none of the pomp or pride of show, Its ministrations ?;o out to the homeless, -weak and friend ess. Its charities are not confined within Us own limit, nor within the simply prac tical. It leallzea lhat there are sufferings outside the things material. Over the-errors and weaknesses of those who waver and stumble as they struggle toward the goal of belter things It throws the broad mantle of protecting charity. It does not expect perfection from any, but would aid all In the struggle for betterment. The Order of Elks is a lover of Justice. It realties that the major part of the world's most unfortunate controversies arise because the rights of some are slighted or Ignored. It is conscious of the fact that permanent peace and content ment cannot be brought about until there la accorded to each that which Is his due. In Justice and sordid selfishness eliminated the problems confronting alike individuals and nations would lose much of their In tricacy. This fraternity recognises the priceless value of the principles of brotherly love; the need of that subtle touch of sympathy that unites and binds. In every age, In spite of antagonistic Influences, there have been at work many agencies bringing about this result. Homes and schools and churches have made their mighty con tributions. To these and others have been added the influence and power of the great fraternal orders or the world Broadens the View. Adherence to these principles has natur ally led this order to a broadened view of many subjects. Its view of patriotism Is alike loyal and liberal. Its emblems and Insignia, its teachings and Its practices In- fiplre patriotism. This, however. Is not imited by party. It asks no man's poli tics. It -neither encourages nor permits i political considerations to effect Its actions. Its interest as an order, Is not In pry. but In country. It seeks to arouse alike o BEnBOBsBnlBaB N J Indestructible ! The clear, full, brilliant tone of Columbia Indestruc tible Cylinder Records is the best reason for their grow ing popularity.

It opens Its doors only to the cltisen of this country, but It makes no distinction between him nho was born within Its limits and him ho has come from other lands and Iden tifies himself loyally with our Institu tion and our endeavors. 'J tie Order of Elks is liberal In Its relig ious attitude. It seeks to dictate no man s religion and It questions no man s creed. It realises that the prime need of the world is to think the right and to do the right. It is sensible of the tact that one n an may do this the mora effectively along tne Hue of a creed that is dear to him, an other most effectively along the lines of a vanily different creed, equally dear to such other, wlille still a third may reach the same result without the aid of either. In short, the order makes upon its membership no religious requiiement except a recogni tion of and belief In that supreme agency which, through the tireless centuries makes for righiousness. It leaves each religious organisation of the world, to pursue its work undisturbed, and by Its own effort. In turn, the order does Its work by the method It selects, each Its own agency In the work for the uplift of humanity. The Order of Elks Is emphatically pledged to the protection of the home and all of life's tenderest relations. It la an advocate of rational enjoyment and an enemy of ex cess. It believes In making the world, through congenial oompantonshlp and hearty enjoyment, and always with dua re gard to the feelings of others, brighter and better. Above all. It seeks to draw men together, to bring them Into sympathetlo touch with one another, to mak- In te real sens of the word, brothers of them. This work in its Influence upon the world Is as neces sary jiow as It was In the days when He of the gentle mind and loving heart walked and talked by the blue waves of OallUee.

Councilman Younkerman Is expected to bring up at the regular monthly session of the city council tonight the matter of an ordinance requiring the regular Inspection of, dairy cattle in the city. A similar ordi nance Mas been passed by the city council of Marrhalltown, and the necessity for some such measure, It Is contended, exists here. "I think this will be the only way to In sure safety for the public" said Mr. Younkerman. "I shall consult the city so licitor and have an ordinance drawn at once. I want to compel every person who owns a cow, whether he or she peddles milk or not, to have his cows or cows reg ularly inspected and the milk certified, so that there will be only pure milk used in Council Bluffs." The passage of suoh an ordinance would require the appointment of a city milk in spector, and then the question of funds with which to pay the salary of suoh an official would arise. No appropriation was mtide at the beginning of the fiscal year for such an official, and the municipal treasury Is not at present In the best of condition, There Is nothing nicer In a home than music. We have on hand a big stock of organs, ranging In price from S3 up. Buy an organ now, and we will take it back as part pay on a piano later. A Hospe Co., 29 Pearl St., Council Bluffs, la.

FEW ATTEND SCHOOLS FOE DEAF Institutions at Vinton and Council Blaffs Good Ones, feat Tatleats Hare Repugnanc to Attending. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, la., Dec. 7. (Special.) The report of the archives department of the state of Iowa Just made, Indicates that this department has before it several years of hard labor before the records of the state are all properly classified and cared for. Four years ago a start was made In a small way to have the state papers taken out of musty pigeon holes and arranged so that they may be seen. The work done, however, proves to have bean labor wasted. Two years ago a new commission was organised along strictly business lines and a force of competent clerks placed In charge. J. F. Kelly, mem ber of the legislature from Polk county, was placed In actual charge of the work. Since then the department has handled over t70,000 pieces of matter, all state pa pers or records, running back to territorial days, mainly from the office of the gov ernor and that of the secretary of state. These old documents are being cleaned and placed in flat cases and filed in exten sive steel cabinets, and so classified that any paper may be found very quickly. Sometimes papers are handled several times before they reach their destination. T,he report of the commission shows that the work has only fairly been commenced and that It will take several years to complete the same. It Is probable that the legislature will make an additional appro priation to enlarge the commission and have the Work done as quickly as pos sible. No effort had ever before been made to have the state papers placed where they would be permanently cared for. Don't Use the Denf School. Some time ago members of the State Board of Control made investigation to find why It was that the attendance at the state school for the deaf in Council Bluffs has smaller attendance than It had years before. The small attendance at the school makes It very difficult for the board to run the institution on the allowance of the atate and maintain the high efficiency which has long character ized the school. It was found that the at tendance at the blind school at Vinton Is also not growing though it Is a very efficient school. The belief is that there la a general feeling over the atate that these two schools are classified with the charitable Institutions of the state and for this reason there Is repugnance to attend ing them. One remedy has been suggested and that Is to have these sohools taken from the Board of Control and placed un der the general board of control for the educational institutions whenever it Is created, and thus have them classed as strictly educational institutions. Another Is to make attendance at these schools compulsory, though this will be opposed by some. The attention of the legislature is to be called to the situation. Tronble Over a State Contract. The trustees of the state college at Ames are having some trouble over the completion of the new agricultural hall. The contract was let to Efchleuter of Chi cago, who started the work, and later failed. The surety company, which was on his bond, undertook the completion of the contract. Now it is found that he surety company is unsulted to this work and its demands are such that the state can hardly afford to comply. The work Is going on at the college, but very slowly. State Fair Management. The annual meeting of the Iowa farmers' Institute la to be held in Des Moines this week. The delegates come tfrom county fairs and farmers' Institutes and it elects the directors of the Department of Agricul ture, who conduct the state fairs and have charge of the year book and other matters. It Is expected there will be no change in the membership of the board, as in the last few years the state fairs have had such phenomenal success that everyone desires the management to continue with out change. President Cameron has had the office two terms and does not care for It further, but he has been connected with the fair management much longer now than any other person and there is general desire he continue at the head several years. Secretary John C. Simpson will be re-elected without question. Ex-Governor Packard, who Is on the board, contemplates going to California for the remainder of the winter, but he wilt retain his residence In Iowa' and will be retained on the board. The board will ask the legislature for lib eral appropriations. Tax Revision Activity, The annual meeting of the State Tax Revision association, which will be held In Des Moines the coming week, will make strong recommendation to the state legit lators to make very great changes in tL law as to assessment and taxation. The commission desires virtually to have all moneys and credits exempt from taxation. It Is proposed that In some way mortgages be taxed and this only when recorded. The general tax laws of the state need much revision and the association will con sider all phases of the subject. AMES MEX OSf WAY TO SHOW Tease to Eater Corn Jndsrtnsr Coateat Loaves for Omaha.

He states that the searching party of citizens did not fire a shot during the search of the car for suspected stolen goods, nor did they use fire arms at the depot In making the ar rest of the six Bulgarians who were at tempting to send a message to the foreman at this place about the trouble. He says they were assailed by deadly weapons In tho depot fight, but the officers only used such force as was necessary to arrest dangerous and armed men.

MEETINGS FOR WORKINGMEN Feature of tho Great Religions Gathering- Bring Held In Philadelphia,, PHILADELPHIA, Dec 7. Meetings for worklngmen, students and young men of the varloua social organizations in the churches held 1 hers ' yesterday under the direction of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America. More than 1,000 union men attended the working-men's' meeting, which was pre sided over by Dennis Hayes, fifth vies president of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Hayes, In discussing "the Church and Home Industry," said the meeting marked an epoch in the history of the church and organised labor. The resolution on labor adopted by the federal council, the speaker said, was suoh as to make him almost conclude it emanated from aome labor committee. Had laboring men been told a year ago that such a resolution had been adopted by a committee of mln latere, the speaker said, he doubted whether they would have believed It. He declared the church waa waking up to the needa of the laboring men, who In turn ahould ahow their appreciation by heeding the church's Influence in their or ganizations, ha added ' that the majority of trade unionists were church members. (Rev. Charles Stelsle, superintendent of the department of church and labor of the Presbyterian church, said the first move' ment for world reform was toward rellgl oua democracy; the next toward political democracy and the present movement to ward Industrial democracy. "Some day," he aald, "war will cease, but it will not be because of peace con ferences, but when organised workmen de clare they will no longer shoot down fel low workers In order to satisfy the avarice of their rulers." He declared that fifty years from now people will look back and laugh at the things advocated in behalf of labor at the last convention of the American Federa tion of Labor. It is not the duty of the church, he said, to adopt an economic sys tem, but to uplift the Individual, because there must be the Ideal man before there can be the Ideal system. The adoption of the resolution on labor by the federation council, he added, did not mean that the church had suddenly been converted to the cause of tabor, but meant rather that It waa the first time the church, aa a body, bad an opportunity to express Itself on these matters.

CONNELL PLAN TARES MONEY Inspection System for Schools Op posed by Some Board Members. ONLY BECAUSE OF SMALL FUNDS Cltv Health Commissioner Proposes Appointment of Physicians to Maintain Watch Over All School Children. "Had the board more money than It knew what to do with,' this medical inspection of the children attending the public schools might be a good thing, but the board has been spending too much money, it must curtail and It certainly can, not take on this added expenso of medical Inspection. Anyway, if the board once started it, where would it end?" Alfred C. Kennedy, member of the Board of Education, in this way answers Dr. Ralph W. Connell, city commissioner of health, who has asked the board to appoint eleven medical inspectors at a salary of tSO a month each to ascertain and superin tend the health of the children In the thirty-four public schools of Omaha James C. Lindsay, another member of the board, expresses himself the same way, and from the way the board members view the proposition at this time it does'' not ap pear probable that the recommendation of the health commissioner will receive faujtr able action. Proposition of Connell's. The health commissioner wrote the board about medical inspection in the schools some time ago, but no action being taken he has sent another communication to that body, the latter to come up for discussion tonight. Thla last letter of Dr. Connell's Is as follows: OMAHA, Pec. 4. To the Honorable Board of Education: Gentlemen Something over a year ago I addressed a communication to your honorable body, auggesttng you iaae up tne question or medical inspection In the schools. I understand this com munication waa referred to a committee. where It has been slumbering up to the present time. 1 aesire to request that you at tease taice up mis question and investi gate it aa to Ita merits, which, if you do, I feel confident that you will realize the Importance ami the necesnlty of having a medical Inspection of the children attend ing school. I feel confident thut any money spent along these lines will repay the tax payers many times more than any money that Is spent by your honoraole body In the maintenance of the schools in any ether way. Mpdlnnl lnsnctlon rf schools has passed all the experimental stages. Wherever It has been adopted It has yond of incal culable benefit. Tho beneficial results ob tained have been far greater tliuu the anticipation of Its most ardent supporter. In my other communication I think 1 suggested that you cull In twelve cr fifteen of the leading physicians of Omaha and get their advice and Judgment as to the advlsuhillty of the board adopting a system of medical inspection. Trusting this communication will meet a little better fate than my last communica tion on this subject, and that you will at leaat appoint a time for the cniulderatlon cf this matter, where the evidence can be submitted, why it should bo adopted, I re main moat respectfully yours, R. W. CONNELU Commissioner of Health. Dr. Connell looked Into the method of health Inspection in Chicago during his recent visit there and found that the In spection there has provided a way to cope with epidemics and has brought many children under treatment who were suffer ing from diseases of which the parents were ignorant, the removal of which has aided In their mental efficiency. The sys tem has reached Ha greatest efficiency in Los Angeles, where the results were so beneficial that smaller cities nearby adopted the plan, the Inference being that the matter of expense was far outweighed by the benefit derived. "The cost of the service would be but a bagatelle compared with the vast total that now accrues to the parenta of Omaha from medical expense needlessly entailed from lack of proper knowledge and early regu lation," aays the health commissioner, "and I am prepared to back up my as sertion with statistics. "Omaha taxpayers would save money many times over, if a system of medical Inspection of the schools were established. If the work were done as it should be, including both the public and parochial schools, the annual bill would be not to exceed 18,000. The saving In physician's bills to the parents of school children, the saving in suffering by the pupils and ths resultant good that would come to many children who are deficient in their studies from purely physical causes ought to com mend Jhe plan and surely ought to be of sufficient Importance to cause ths school board to give the matter at least a hear ing."

No household can well economize on food, or rent, or liht, tr fuel, without hardship. But a man can cut off this tailor luxury not only without hardship to himself, but in very many instances with positive benefit to nis appearance and peace. Stein-Bloch clothes are respected among clothing dealers as the representative ready-to-wear clothes the clothes that give them a "leading" line, that fit properly and that have style. They are made individually by tailors who have the touch of experience and the.conscious superiority of the specialist held together by a great organization. By wearing them you are giving yourself a luxury that your tailor never found for you. The Stein Bloch Company Tailors for Office and Shoptt Rochester, N. Y.

BATTLESHIPS AT SINGAPORE Make a Favorable Impression sua They Steam Into tho Harbor. SINGAPORE, Deo. 7. The United State Atlantic battleship fleet, under Rear Ad miral Sperry, passed through the harbor here yesterday. The stately procession Im pressed both the experts and the many spectators. The scout cruiser Tankton kept in constant communication with the floet during Its passage, but otherwise the bat tleships did not communicate with the shore. The flagship Connecticut saluted the port and the salute waa returned, Many launches and small steamers filled with spectators went out early to meet the American ships. The Tankton received a wireless message from the Connecticut that on Saturday evening the fleet was 14S miles off. The voyage from Manila, from which port the fleet sailed on Tuesday, was uneventful.
