AFTER PYTHIAN GRAND LODGE
Local LOdReR and Commercial Club
Back of the Proposed
Move.

Council Bluffs will make a bid for the
meeting of the low grand lodge. Knights
OF Pythias, and Chief of Police G. A. Tib-
bits and Glenn Kimball will go to Des
Moines today empowered to act in the mat
ter on behalf of the local lodges and with
the support Of the Commercial club This
was decided upon yesterday afternoon at a
meeting of the executive committee of the
Commercial club after a conference with
the committees of the local Pythian lodges,
In order to secure the meeting here of
the Pythian grand lodge in August it will
be necessary to raise a fund OF from $1,000
to 81 200 to defray the expenses, and this
the executive committee of the CONNER
cial club believes can readily be accom-
plished. Council Bluffs Will be called upon
in the event OF its securing the meeting
to provide a place in which the sessions Of
the grand lodge can be held, to furnish
prizes for the competitive dr'Il of the uni
formed rank, which will hold its annual
encampment at the same time, and to fur
nish e-ncampment grounds etc.
The executive committed has assurances
OF assistance from the motor company,
which, 1t is expected, will furnish the
camp grounds, with light and water. The
meeting OF the grand lodge and attendant
encampment OF the uniform rank, 1t is ex-
pected, will bring at least 1000 visitors to
Council Bluffs.

ENGINEER SWALLOWS ACID
Mistakes Fiery Liquid for Water
which Was Usually Kept
in jug.

PERRY, Ia, April l7-(Special Tele-
gram.)-This forenoon about 10 o'clock
Engineer c. r.. Swift, who has been with
the Milwaukee road for a number of years,
while helping to put his engine in condi-
ton for service at the roundhouse, took a
drink OF muriatic acid by mistake and 1t
may cost him his life. The acid was in a
Jug similar to the water jugs carried on all
engines and Swift, seeing it on the engine.
which had just returned from service on
the Kansas City division, took the drink,
supposing 1t to contain water.
Dr.. Ross was called and responded
quickly. Swift was taken home and every
thing that could be was done, but his throat
was badly burned and tonight is swollen
so badly he cannot swallow. The outcome
is uncertain at present. The muriatic acid
is used to clean the injectors and had been
kept on this engine for that purpose. AZ
the engine had just been turned over to
him he did not know there was any acid Oh
the engine.

Deciae to Back Hail Team.

Chairman Van Brunt of the executive
committee of the Commercial club au-
thorized the statement yesterday that the
proposition to place a professional base
ball team In Council Bluffs would be ac-
cepted. Mr.. Van Brunt stated that negotia-

250S Fifth avenue, is the latest victim of
the holdup men. While on his way home
Thursday night with the proceeds Of his
quarterly pension check in his pocket he
was held up and robbed by two men in
Cochran park. The robbers secured $40
which Wycoff had In his vest pocket, but
overlooked $40 he was carrying in his
trousers pocket. The men were evidently
aware that Wycoff had drawn his pension
that day and were waiting for him In the
park. One of them held a revolver to his
face while the other searched him. When
the fellows stepped from behind a tree and
ordered Wycoff to hold up his hands one

money we know you have got in your
pockets" After they had taken the 500

armed himself with a gun yesterday and
wen searching for the robbers, but failed
to locate them. He reported the robbery to

to it, and see if the cause can be
found
Under the competitive system
! there are two classes in society.
One of these classes does the
work Of the world; and the other
class owns the tools and machin.
cry; the farms ani the fields; the
factories and the shops; the trans
portatl0n by land aud sea; and in
tact everything that the other
class requires to bring forth by
labor the wealth of the world.
The labOrer who is - per ct of
the population must either pur-
chase from the other % per ct
those things that are necessary in
the production of wealth; or he
must sell his labor power to these
owners for the price that the own
ers decide to give. Now, every
expense of country must be met
by those who do the work: every
non-producer must be supported
by those who produce; consequent
~ the non producers, who own the
Capital of the nation, decides that
they will give to the laborer Il
cents on the dollar and divid the
other 80 cents among thir own
class.
Now, if 10 per ct of the people
give % per ct of the people S3 per
CT OF the wealth, this IS per ct
gives about 6 times as much to
the % per ct as they keep for
themselves;and as % per ct is of
70 per ct, this 25 per ct of the
people own about Is time the
amount that is produced by the
single workman.
The Capitalist must now get
rid of the vast amount of surplus
wealth, he cannot sell it to tho
labOrer for the labOrer has already
bought back all that was coming
to him. The Capitalist cannot
use this wealth; he must dispose
OF 1T; so he sells it in foreign
markets until they are filed up:
and then he is forced to close up
his factories until this surplus
supply is exhausted. With the
closing of the factories, men are
thrown out of employment. Hav-
ing no employment, they get no
wages, and with no wages they
cannot buy goods; thus a panic is
precipitated, and we witness that
absurd specticles-a people starv-
ing amidst deluge of plenty.
When the capitalist has gotten
rid OF the surplus supply; 10y
every form of luxury and waste,
he will again resume work; and
period of so called prosperity will
commence; to again be followed
by another panic, when the Capi-
talist has once more glutted the
markets of the world.
