Makes Statement for Event.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The annual outing of the employees
of the firm of John Morrell & Co., will
be held in Oakland park, Kirksville,
Mo-, August 20. 1908.
The members of the committee who
selected that place speak very highly
of the way they were entertained, and
also of the ability of the Kirksville
people to take care of and entertain
such large crowd as always attends
these gatherings. The committee feels
very grateful to the Wabash railroad in
granting such a low rate, which is rs
cents for full fare round trip with half
fare for children, and taking into con-
sideration the distance-76 miles-and
the time it takes to make the trip, over
two hours, it seems to be an ideal
place to hold such an event.
The committee has decided to sell
the rights to furnish refreshments and
is now ready to receive bids on the
following: Ice cream, lemonade, pea
nuts, candy, cigars, pop and fruit. Bids
will be received up to and including
Saturday, August /, 1908. The bids
will be accepted on the whole or any
one of the above. For estimates, ETC.,
apply to any member of the committee
which is composed of the following:
N. T. Steight,
A. B. Osler,
Robt. McDougall.

INTER-U RBAN
THE NEW LINE is PRACTICALLY
ASSURED BETWEEN IOWA
CITY AND WASHINGTON.

Washington, Iowa, July 2O.-(Spe.
l.)-The Iowa City, Kalona and
Washington Electric railway is prac-
tically assured thing. Mayor Alber-
son and committee sent by the Wash
lngton Commercial Club have just re-
turned from Iowa City where they have
been meeting and consulting with pro-
motors of the new trolley line Geo.
Rodman of this place is at the head of
committee which has been appointed
to have articles of incorporation
drafted. There seems to be two fac
tons at Iowa City anxious to cooperate
with the citizens. One of the factions,
having secured some important right
of-way in the vicinity of Iowa City, it
is said, will be ready to take up matters
with the promoters on this end of the
line. Last winter number of farmers
in Washington county donated right-of-
way along the roads by their farms
and that part of the road is no more in
doubt. In not less than two years it is
very probable that transportation will
be carried on from here to the Athens
of Iowa by trolley line. When this line
is built a number of citizens here are
ready to take up the building of the
line proposed from here to Coppack
and Mt. Pleasant A line from Iowa
City to Mt, Pleasant will cover some
territory not occupied by railways and
would soon be on a paying running
basis.

INJURIES MAY BE SERIOUS.
Miss Thornton Hurt in Runaway Does
Not Recover.

Cedar Falls, July % (Special)
Fears are entertained lest Miss Hen
rietta Thornton, instructor in drawing
at the state normal school will be per-
manently crippled as the result of in
juries received in a runaway accident
several weeks ago. She has taken her
place again in the school room but suf-
fers great inconvenience and constant
physical pain, by reason of an injury
to one of her knees. At the time of the
accident no injury to the knee was Wis
ible but it has developed since she re-
sumed her work and she can scarcely
walk. The injury seems to have been
to the knee cap. Her ear which was
almost torn from her head has healed
and left no permanent Disagreement.

ACCOMPLISHING MUCH GOOD
WORK.

An EnyiabIe showns-society is
Fiourishine.

The rapid strides that are being
made by the Iowa Children's Home
Finding society will be watched with
pleasure by the many supporters of
this truly benevolent institution. In
the past three months about one hun
dred little ones have been received by
the society and this indeed shows pro-
gressiyeness. The month of June sur
passed all previous months in the en-.
tire fifteen years of the society's life.
In this month thirty-four homeless
children were received and placed in
homes. In this good showing especial
credit is due Miss Eva Shaw, district
superintendent in charge of southeast
ern Iowa. Miss Shaw secured out Of
the thirty-four in the month of June,
twelve little ones, and in the past three
weeks, she has succeeded in placing III
good homes, twelve children. The
youngsters secured homes in Ottum-
wa, Burlington, Barnes City,, Keokuk,
Riyerview, Eddyville and Oskaloosa,
all of these cities being under the jur-
isdiction of Miss Shaw.
Much Good Being Done.
The abundant beneficence that is
shown by the Iowa Children's Home
Finding society is now fiourishing as it
never has before. Many donations
are being received and this enables the
society to spread and cover more ter
ritory, finding homeless children and
securing homes for them This pro-
gress is not only shown b he district
under Miss Shaw, but is universal in
Iowa, although the Ottumwa district
shows more work being done and bet
ter results obtained. In the fifteen
years the society has been operating
the large number of children that have
secured homes is approximately $500

AT CALDWELL PARK
COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS
SELECTS LOCATION FOR La
Dor DAY CELEBRATION.
Mammoth Crowd is Expected and
Transportation Problem is Big One
Caldwell Park is the Most Accessi-
BILE Place-success of Day Sure.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The labor day celebration will oc-
cur at Caldwell park according to the
decision Of the committee having the
matter in charge at meeting held in
Labor hall last evening. Caldwell park
was selected from a. number OF places
which were being considered because
of it's facilities for handling the
crowds. An immense crowd is expect
ed and the matter of transporting the
people to and from the grounds will be
a mammoth undertaking. With this in
view Caldwell park is the most avail
able place to which the committee
could have access.
Plenty of Music.
The Fifty-fourth Regimental band
and Schwabkey's band have been en-
gagged for the entire day 1t is also
announced that there will be two or
three clown bands take part in the
parade and be present during the day
and evening to add to the fun and
merriment of the occasion. 1t is proba-
BILE, also, that there will be other bands
engaged from out of town. The COM
mittee is determined that there shall
be an abundance of good music and the
engagement of both the local bands
gives ample proof that there will be
nothing lacking in this respect to de-
tract from the days success.
The Parade.
The parade promises to be one of
the big features of the day. All the
various crafts of the city will march
in separate bodies and wear distinctive
uniforms. The merchants are expect
ed to participate with industrial floats
and advertising wagons, 1t is under
stood that there will also be number
of features in the parade to add to
the amusement of the crowd
Success Seems Assured.
The indications at present point to
great celebration. With the presence
Iof Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, assur-
ed and the promise of A. l.. Urick,
president of the State Federation, to
be present and deliver an address the
success of the Labor day celebration
in OtIumwa seems a question only of
favorable weather, which will permit
the gathering of the crowd.

SUBSCRIPTIONS POUR in
LAFAYETTE MERCHANTS GIVE TO
PURDUE MEMORIAL FUND.
Students and Faculty Return to Work
-Concret Beam Tests at Rose
News of Other Colleges.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal,
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 6.-Several sub
stantial subscriptions have been added to
the fund which is being raised for the erec-
ton of the proposed Purdue memorial gym
nasium and the project is rapidly growing
in popularity. Robert L.. Jaques, a local
stationer. has pledged $3.50, and many other
merchants have promised 800 each to the
fund. The need of a gymnasium is great at
the university and 1t is the general opinion
that no better memorial to the Indianapolis
wreck victims could be conceived. President
Stone, who has given the plan his sanction,
is expected to return to the university to-
morrow and he probably will appoint a COM
mittee to take charge of affairs. A stock
company performing at the Grand Opera
House has offered to give a benefit perform
ance on Saturday, giving half of the re-
ceipts to the memorial fund. The offer has
not yet been accepted.
Preparations are nearly complete at Pur-
due for the memorial services on next
Wednesday. 1t Is the intention to secure
some prominent speaker to deliver the adj
dress in the morning.
Many students who nave been absent on
account of the wreck returned to-day and
Members of the faculty who were absent
since Monday took charge of their classes
again. The students who are at the two
hospitals here suffering with nervous pros
tration and pneumonia, as a result Of the
disaster, are much better to-day.

known to the school. The purpose of the
meeting was to decide upon the kind or

Advance VIII Be from 4 1-2 to 2 Per
Cent. and Price of Glass VIII Be
Raised IL to 20 Per Cent.
NEW SCALE Effective NOV. 10
FIFTY THOUSAND IDLE MEN TO BE
AT WORK WITHIN A MONTH
Agreement Made Whereby 100000 to
100000 Boxes OF Imported Glass
Will BE Shut Out.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. e.-The joint con-
ference Of plate glass manufacturers and
skilled workers held here resulted to-day in
the adoption of a uniform wage scale
whereby the workers will receive an adj
vance in wages of from ~ TO 2 per cent.
To meet this increase the price OF glass
probably will be advanced 15 to 20 per cent.
There are nearly 1000 pots in the United
States, including $500 expert blowers. The
others who will benefit by the increase are
gatherers, fiatteners and cutters. Under
the new scale the wages for blowers will
average $50 a month for single-strength
blowers and 500 a month for double-thick
plate.
AS a result of the conference fully 10000
skilled window glass workers who have
been idle for over six months will be back
at work within ten days, and before the
first of the month at least 10000 workmen
dependent upon them will have employ
ment. All the trading and producing COM
panies and both organizations of workers
were represented.
The most important part of the new scale
Is the concession made by the workers
which will enable the manufacturers to
shut out from 100000 TO 100000 boxes OF for
eign window glass imported annually from
Belgium and France. The new scale be-
comes effective Nov. ~ and continues in
force until next June.
A meeting of manufacturers to arrange
for a general selling agency will be held in
Columbus next week.
