Miss Verona Pratt was hest
ess to sixteen young ladies yes
terday afternoon at her home
on Eighth street, the occasion
being complimentary to Miss
Ruth Woodbury., of Oakland,
CAL, who is her guest. The
lawn was decorated in settees
and rugs, and made an ideal

siderable work was accom-
plished in that line. At the

Little Sioux has organized a
commercial club, and the club
proposes to hustle for the in
terest of Little Sioux. The Lo-
gan, Dunlap and Woodbine
commercial clubs are hustling
for their towns, and they are
making it count. What is the
Missouri Valley Commercial
Club doing for Missouri Valley?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to
reorganize the club in this city
and put some life into it? In
this day and age it is the fellow
who hustles that gets to the
head of the procession. Mis-
souri, Valley surely needs to do
some hustling, as all it's neigh
bors are at it good and hard. If
this city expects to do the best
business of any town in the
county we have got to get out
and go after the business. Re-
organize the Commercial Club
and make it a booster for Mis-
souri, Valley.

Why Mr.. Ryan Bought.
The State.

l ne Slale.
Ever since the purchase of the
Hyde stock in the Equitable Life AS
surance society by Mr.. Thomas F.
RYAN there has been considerable
speculation on the part OF the public
as to the motive which prompted the
latter gentleman to pay sum rang
ing, according to different statements,
from S2,5oo,ooo to $4,ooo,ooo for a
bunch of stock having par value
of only $5o,2oo and from which there
are no profits save the regular 7 per
cent, dividend.
The capital stock Of the Equitable
company is 100000, divided into 1000
shares of par value of 100 each. Mr..
Ryau bought 5o2 shares Of this
stock, a controlling interest. The
par value of these 5o2 shares is $780,
2oo But Mr.. Ryan paid some mill
lions for them. Why did he do it?
For it is to be remembered that every
cent of the profits of the company
belongs to the policyho!ders. The
dividend on the stocq is limited to 7
per cent. annually; beyond that the
stockholder gets no return. Seven
per cent upon the $5o,2oo which rep
resents the par value of the stock
bought by Mr.. Ryan would be S.
sI4. the sole income from the invest
ment Why did Mr.. Ryan pay from
100000 to 100000 for block OF
stock which could not bring in a re-
turn of more than 1854, no more
that factional interest upon the cap
ital invested?
What was the explanation? Was
Mr.. Ryan merely benevolent man
who, in order to save the 100000
Equitable policyholders from further
distraction, bought in the Hyde
stock at an immense personal sacri-
fee, believing virtue to be its own re-
ward? Or, base suspicion! was it the
purpose Of Mr.. Ryan to secure con-
troll of the millions Of the Equitable
and by manipulation in "frenzied
finance" make a profitable business
out OF what seemed 10 be i foolish
and extravagant investment? The
question remained open. The reason
of Mr.. Ryan's extraordinary pur-
chase stood unrevealed.
Now at las. comes hint OF what is
declared to be the truth. We are told
to look beyond Mr.. Ryan. to draw
aside the veil and that. behind, will
be discovered the person OF MIR. Pier
pont Morgan. Mr. Ryan, it seems,
acted as the agent Of the great hnan-
cicr. In the view of Mr.. Morgan, we
are told, the Equitable disclosures
were proving dangerous-not only to
that company but to the whole tlnan-
cial system of which Mr.. Morgan is
the master. II prolonged, if kept in
the public eye. these troubles OF the
Equitable might in time turn public
attention to an investigation Of the
methods Of other Wall street corpor-
