from old Parties.

St. Louis, Dec. 31.-Members Of the
middle-of-the-road national committee
met here Saturday to consider the
question of q union with other reform
organizations, but, despite the yigor-
Gus efforts of Prof. Heron and Leon
Greenbaum, IL was decided to remain
in the middle Of the road. There will
be no fusion. Chairman Parker intro
duced . resolution which proposes sew
eral changes In the platform Of the
party as adopted at Omaha, to be sub
mitted to . referendum vote. 1t was
agreed to. The resolution provided for
q change In the party name from "the
peoples party" to the "populist party"
The second plank Of the Cincinnati
platform is changed to read: "We de-
mand the public ownership Of such
means of production and distribution
as the people will from time Il time
elect" Another proposition declared
the party Is opposed to physical revo-
luton and cOnfiscation Of property. II
declares that the fundamental doctrine
Of the party is the principle %enuncl-
ated at Omaha in 1892, that the wealth
belongs to him who males 1t and ev-
cry dollar taken from labor without an
equivalent is robbery and the party is
pledged TO such legislation as to de-
stroy the system which makes II posi-
BILE for one man to live on the labor Of
another. An address to the people was
adopted inviting other reform organiza-
tioas TO join in an effort to establish
human liberty, and asking members
Of the party TO rally and to work In
the organization.

WoMAN'S CLUB.
Open Meeting Of the PhIIanthrOpIc
Department

There was an open meeting of the
Phila 'tbropic department of the
Woman's Club held in the Congrega-
tional church Saturday. There was
a very interesting program presented
to the audience in attendance. The
meeting was interesting from the
fact that 1t had been just one year
from the time when the first dollar
had been paid to the Oskaloosa
Hospital fund. In one years. time
the ladies have collected something
over 81 COO. The first thousand is the
hardest part of the necessary amount
to accuu mulate. They will from this
time forward go forward with strides
that mean success of the project in
the near future. Another thing that
has given the ladies encouragement
is the assurance of the ladies of the
"King's Daughters" and the Rath-
bone Sisters that each stand ready
to furnish and maintain a ward in the
hospital as soon as the institution is
started. There is another organiza-
ton in the city that stands ready to
equip and maintain another of the
wards. This makes three wards that
will be maintained Independently of
the regular support of the hospital.
There was some va iation from the
program as printed last week.
Miss Beulah Bennett gave q very
interesting and helpful paper on "De-
pendent Children and What to do
With Them" Mrs. Ben Falls filed
in another vacancy on the program
with a solo THE Perfect Way" Her
kindness was greatly appreciated by
the ladies.

gram we're:

nection with his action.
Not q word" he answered. "The

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 31.-When the
contempt case against Gov. Pingree
was called by Judge Wisner Saturday
afternoon, the courtroom was crowd
ed with people. The judge read Gov.
Pingree's telegram and then said that
he did not understand that the case
was against the governor, but against
Hazen s. Pingree, the individual.
Judge Wisner said he had no disposi-
ton to interfere with the duties of
the governor, and therefore would
continue the case until January o. In
default of the governors appearance
at that time, an attachment to com
pei his attendance will issue.

Comrades, let me call your at
tention to the fact that it is a misde-
meanor under our statutes to wear

provides: Amy person who shall

or use the same to obtain aid or as
sistance, unless entitled to wear the
same under the rules and regulations
or constitution of such organization,
shall be imprisoned not to exceed 80
days or fined not to exceed 500
This applies to suspended and drop
ped members.
I regret to say there are many old
soldiers that have lost their member
ship that feel a pride In wearing the
badge and button. The badge and
button was adopted by our organiza-
ton to enable comrades to recognize
each other, Whenever and wherever
they meet q comrade wearing the
badge or button they have the right
to presume that he is a member of
the Grand Army of the Republic In
good standing. II this was general.

Of this county as there is over the

The entire vicinity was Represented
- the church and all who sought en-
france at the funeral could not be
accommodated within the doors of
the church. The funeral was con-
Aacted by the K. of P. lodge OF Givin
Nm which the deceased had been a
very prominent member for many
years. The sermon was preached by
Rev. Lloyd Williams and his words
we're most affecting. There we're few
hearts in the large room that were
mnmoved by the occasion and the
words of the sermon. At the con-
aIusion of the service at the church
NE casket was opened and those de
string were permi ted to look upon

more than an hour for the people to
pass the casket. The funeral pro-
session then started for Oskaloosa
where the Interment was made in

ame hundred carriages in liz Q and bnt
for the very disagreeable weather
thare would have been more.
