exceed 500.
Judging from the talk among the members
there is no inclination to allow Cashier Han
nan Of the First National bank any money
to pay for the expense OF the legal opinion
as to the validity Of the issue OF the bonds.
In talking on this matter yesterday one Of
the board said: In my opinion we have no
right or authority to appropriate / cent
from the treasury Of the school district to
pay the money that Hannah would have us
do. 1t is the rule for bond buyers to fur
nsh their own legal opinion IL they desire
one. II we were to allow the money asked
by Hannah we would, in my opinion, be be-
traying the trust imposed in us by the peo-
pie when they elected us. / am also in
favor OF requiring the bank to come out fiat =
footed and tell the board whether 1t intends
to take the bonds or not. At the two meet

present he has not made a definite statemcn,

MANAWA CAPTURED BY DANES
Annual Gathering of Danish Societies o
Western Iowa aud Eastern Nebraska.
FOUR THOUSAND PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE
Mayor Jennings of Council BIufTs De
Iiyers nm Address of weIcome-En-
tertnininE Program of Exer-
cises and Amusementr.

Lake Manawa was in the hands of the
Danes yesterday, the occasion being the
annual gathering of the Danebo societies
OF western Iowa and eastern Nebraska
| The attendance was large, over 1000 people
being on the grounds. Most of them went
to the lake on the morning trains and
pcncked on the Plaza grounds. In the
| afternoon there was short program of
| exercises, the main feature of which was
number Of speeches, interspersed with
music by Huster's band. Mayor Jennings
delivered an address of welcome, in which
he said in part
Lake Manawa is not within the cor
porate limits of Council Bluffs and 1t may
occur to some of you that the mayor is
out of his jurisdiction. This ordinarily
would be a logical conclusion but at this
time, when the doctrine of expansion and
Imperialism is so popular-and unpopular
we are not without precedent for in
vadng and colonizing this beautiful re-
sort. l think you will agree that we have
| captured Manawa today without resistance
| by the natives and we propose to hold
this newly acquired territory until every
| native here surrenders. / wish to acknowl-
| edge the honor which your committee has
! conferred upon me and join with the lib
erty-lovrg sons and daughters of Den
| mark in the celebration of this anniver-
sary.
/ THE pages of Danish history are IL
| lumined with the names of many distin-
| guished chieftains, warriors, poets and
statesmen who served their country and
| generation with fidelity and honor and of
whom you may we'll feel proud. Integrity,
| loyalty to country and devotion to free
dom have been characteristics inherited by
| many generations Of tho Danish
who have developed a form of government
so liberal broad and just that it COM
/ mands the respect of all civilized nations.
| From your native country have come to
our shores many thousands of her people
already well qualified to become citizens
Of the greatest republic on the globe. OF
all those who have left the lands OF their
birth to make an abiding place with us
none have possessed higher qualifications
| for American citizenship than the de-
scendants of the Danish people. On be-
| half of the Danish societies OF Council
| Bluffs / extend to our visitors cordial well
! come, and on behalf of the city of Council
Bluffs 1 bid you all greeting and wish
you a happy and profitable day, with the
| hope that you may celebrate this ami
| versary with us another year"
The principal address of the day in
| Danish was made by ]. Skoboe of Omaha.
| Short speeches were made by w. A. Myn-
| ster in English and o. M. Nelson of Omaha,
| T. Anderson of Council Bluffs and Rasmus
| Nelson of Omaha in Danish.
| The rowboats were in constant demand
all day and in the evening the Plaza was
cleared for dancing and it was late hour
! before the last of the crowd left for the
return trip to the city.

Talks with the Ministers.

AS conflicting rumors were rife on the
streets concerning the attitude of the pas
tors toward Mr.. Williams your correspond
ent interviewed each one separately con-
cerning him. Rev. William Pearce of the
First Baptist church said
He came at the earnest solicitation of
the Ministerial Alliance OF Creston. To say
that the work of Brother Williams is equal
to our mcst sanquine expectations is only a
correct statement"
Rev. w. Henry Gibson of the United
Presbyterian church when asked for his
opinion replied: II feel that no words of
mine can properly express the excellency of
the work done here, In every respect the
work has been a success"
Rev. d. f. Snider, pastor of the Christian
church, said; "The meetlngs under the
leadership Of Brothers Williams and Alex
ander are of exceptional merit"
The Williams revival meetings closed to-
night, the evangelist addressing an immense
audience. This morning the citizens gave a
substantial recognition of his services bv
raising purse OF about $500. At the after
noon meeting citizens league was or
ganized, with several hundred members, for
the purpose OF assisting in the enforcement
OF laws and publication of the city. The
closing service was an inspiring one.

Six Hundred Converts.

Over 600 converts have given their names
for the various churches, while hundreds
more profess to have been converted or
reconverted and more are coming at every
service.
Unlike ordinary revival efforts, this work
has seemed to interest everyone, old and
young, good and bad Some, as prominent
man said in talking to your correspondent,
have gone out of curiosity, others because
members of the great chorus choir of 300
voices, under the direction of the most re-
markable leader of song which has ever come
to the city, while others have been held
hour after hour by the preaching of the
evangelist. 1t was not difficult to interview
men concerning the meetings, as all seemed
eager and anxious to talk.
Whether friends or foes of Mr.. Williams,
all seem to concede that there is a very
warm time in the old town. Yesterday two
of the local papers made the charge that
some of the pastors had attempted to boy
colt them in favor of The Bee and said
some very sarcastic things, while the Adver-
tiser continued its attack on the evangelist,
calling him disturber of the peace and
the author of a boycott on it. And at night
the Tabernacle was again crowded. many
expecting a reply, but none was made.

consider that he has done a great and last
ing work here"
C. NJ. Dunn, general agent of the Chicago,
Burlington G. Quincy railroad, said
Mr.. Williams has made enemies by his
scathing denunciatons in the pulpit. If he
had known the editor of the Advertiser per-
sOnally he never would have said what he
did. Many people thought Mr.. Williams lost
his temper in his reply, but ON the whole
the meetings have been of incalculable value
to the community; words cannot express it,"
Mr.. Quinby, a we'll known engineer on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road, was loud
in his praise of the meetings and their
feader asserting that they had been OF great
value to the community and the railroad

Dancing Attacked,

Then came the sermon on the "Amuse-
ments of Society,"" in which the dance was
handled in such vigorous language that,
while many decided to dance no more others
took up the gauntlet and fought back Up
TO that time all the daily papers had re-
ported the meetings favorably, but after the
dance sermon one paper charged Williams
with being obscene, while the others held
that his language was perfectly chaste,
though plain. This precipitated the conflict,
Williams stating publicly that the charge
was willful lie and putting it to vote with
his audience, the people endorsed the
preacher. Then the fur began to fly, the
editor making an attack on the evangelist
in his paper, to which the preacher replied
by a roast that resembled a hybrid between
one of Branns Iconoclast sketches and a
denunciation by one of the old prophets.
One day business was well nigh suspended,
but the throngs still continue to come to the
tabernacle and conversions from twenty to
seventy were counted nightly.
In the midst of this turmoil all the papers
ceased to report the meetings. The pastors
Immediately began negotiations with The
Omaha Bee, stating to the people that they
should have fair reports of the work if they
had to go to Omaha for them. The next
night the Gazette came out with a fair re-
port and an editorial.
A movement is now on foot to organize
a citizens league for the publication of
the city from saloons, gambling and Sabbath
deseCration. Some of the most enthusiastic
believe that eventually all the saloons will
be closed.

CRESTON, Ia, June 4.-(Special) For
the last thirty days one of the most re-

in this part of the country has been in prog
ress Last fall the Pastors alliance began
negotiations with Evangelists Williams and
Alexander of Chicago, who agreed to under
take a revival campaign in Creston provided
a building should be erected for the meet
ings capable of seating several thousand
people. With commendable energy the pas
tors and leading church workers undertook
the task and five weeks ago the evangelists
arrived and began their work in COM
modious structure, seating nearly 5000 peo-
pie.
At first there was little opposition, but
when the movement began to assume definite
shape and the cry, THE slot machines must

choir it looked as though the stronghods OF
sin were being shaken. Creston was literally
filled with these machines one month ago
some costing several hundred dollars; but
not one remains today. Then came a vigorous
onslaught upon the saloons, with promise OF
more to follow. AS might be expected the
liquor forces began to fear decentralization
and rallied their forces for battle.
