Lamont, Ia, April 4. The
little town of Lamont is filled
with strangers. The clans of
the Reorganized Church of
Latter Day Saints, the head
quarters of which are in La
moni, are gathering. Each
year, in April, they come from
all parts of the country to par
ticipate in the world conven-
lions and conferences, in which
are enacted the regulations
governing this peculiar sect in
their church organization and
its auxiliary societies, the lions
Religlo-Literary society and the
General Sunday School associa-
ton.
The Reorgan;zed Latter Day
Saints number throughout the
world about 10000 or 10000
members, and the church is
making a steady growth which
annually adds an increment
which as a percentage ranks
we'll with the annual number
of converts to other churches.
This growth is apparent by the
constantly growing attendance
at the annual gatherings for
convention and conference.
The worlds annual conven-
ton Of the Zion's Religio-Lit-
erary society, or as it is called
in contracted parlance, the
"Religio,' began its sessions
yesterday morning in the spa
cious church building of the
Saints here, the first session
being a devotional exercise at
8 o'clock, in charge of Rev.
Walter Wayne Smith of Phila-
.delphia, Pa, and Elder Samuel
a. Burgess of st. Louis, Mo-.
The first business session of
the convention was opened at
10 o'clock, President j. A. Gun
solley of Lamont, Ia, presiding,
assisted by Vice President w.
w. Smith of Philadelphia.

The Upper Park on west side
of the river is receiving some
some attention Of late and Mr..
w. Wickham who is the first
settler, already has his tepee
erected, convenient to the work
he is doing for the association.
We understand there is about
seven acres in the leased tract,
and will make a nice addition
to our park privileges. ready
for use this season. A good
feature in this case, the ground
is about a mile up the river, so
that in visiting it, town people
get a walk or a ride.-Little
Sioux Independent.
This is a good move for that
beautiful little town. so nicely
located in the banks of the Lit
tie Sioux river, some 26 miles
north of Missouri Valley. No
finer location for town is to be
found in this county, and with
her get-up-and-get character of
her people, they will soon make
it a desirable place to spend a
few weeks every summer in
fishing, boating, and driving.
With parks so beautifully loca-
ted, and the river filled with a
variety of fish, waiting to be
caught, and only three miles
from Smiths Lake, a beautiful
inland body of pure water with
fish and fowl, with a social class
of intelligent people, must soon
make Little Sioux one of the
desirable spots in Harrison
county to visit. We have been
acquainted with her people and
the surrounding country for
many years, and can, therefore,
speak by the card on the sub
ject.
The writer is a little chary of
approaching so delicate a SUBJ
ject but we wish to register
our protest against the practice
we might say, barbarous prac-
tice of exhibiting the remains
of the dead at the public fu-
nerals in the churches; or pri-
vate houses, for that matter.
The practice always results in
much more anguish publicly
displayed than is good for the
mourning relatives and for the
public. 1t is always a great
strain on all present, the minis
ter, the choir and mourners.
The family of the deceased
may just as we'll take their last
view of the remains at the
home before the funeral SER
vices, and the public in general
would rather remember the de-
ceased friend as he last looked
in health than in the cold en-
brace of death. At least, all
healthy minded people would
so perfer it. The desire to
view the remains of the dead is
an unhealthy and morbid one
and we believe would be better
ungratified. Dunlap Herald.

B. o. Burlington, court re-

TRAITOR of the estate of Elias w.

court from Harrison county.
The abstract is large, consist
ing of about 700 typewriter
pages.
The suit involves property of
the value of about 100000
is claimed by Margaret
Peg, who attempts to give
proof that she is the common
law wife Of Elias w. Peg, and
also by two brothers, of which
the administrator is one, and
the children of a deceased sis
ter of Elias w. Peg.
According to the testimony
Margaret Peg went to live
with Peg in the vicinity of
Mondamin in 1882 as a house
keeper. She was a widow with
several children. In 1884 the
man and woman were arrested
for lewdness, but a labor con-
tract was produced and they
were acquitted. In 1885 Mar
garet Pegs mother, who had
filed the information against
them, again caused their ar
rest and they were again ac-
quilted on the same evidence.
Margaret Peg now says that
after the second arrest they
went to the office of Joe Smith,
now deceased, and signed a
contract to live as common law
man and wife. j. G. Crombie,
of Council Bluffs, was the con-
stable who made the arrests
and he was the witness to this
contract and testified to having
acted as such. -Nonpareil

was to have been taken up, but
the experts found that there
were a few things that needed
a more particular investigation
investigation and they were
given more time to complete
the work.
The senate committee on APP
preparations has agreed upon
adding to the annual support
fund of the State University
$4,000 instead of $4,000
which was reported in the COM
mittee bill. The friends of the
university have been complain
ing bitterly of the niggardly
treatment of the institution
and say that they deserve more
in view of the enormous in
crease in the student body in
recent years. The committee
on appropriations has conceded
this much.
A joint convention of the
house and senate was held last
night to elect trustees and re-
gents to the state educational
institutions for the terms be.
ginning in 1908. The elections
were as follows:
Regents of State University
Third district, c. E. Pickett
of Waterloo; Fourth district,
Alonzo Alternately of Usage;
Tenth district, D. K. Whine of
Humboldt; Eleventh district,
P. K. Holbrook of Onawa.

Ninth district, James H. Wilson

Trustees of State Normal
w. A. McIntire of Ottumwa;
George w. Clarke of Abel.
All are reflections for the
term beginning in 1908, with
the exception of Jones in the
Third district, as trustee at
Ames, who was elected to sue
coed b. A. Alexander of Clar-
lion, and Clarke, as trustee at
The state normal, who will sue
coed G. H. McNider of Mason

A Very Foolish Proposition.
One of the most foolish pro-
positions ever submitted to the
world is that of some educated
gentleman of the east, who has
proposed the establishment Of
public schools to teach vounp
people to make love! To save
all expense and trouble on this
subject, let this gentleman just
introduce a company of young
gentlemen to lot of pretty girls
and he would soon dicover how
unnecessary would be public
school in which to teach the
young how to make love. Love
is as old as the human race; in.
the garden of Eden, when old
Adam awoke from his slumber
and beheld his Eve for the first
time his declaration of love, no
doubt, as polished as this school
teacher of the east could make
today. Love making does not
belong in the list of the lost
arts, and while there is no spe-
cific rule for popping the ques-
tion," no one is so dumb as not
to be able to give expression to
his hearts desire, and if Adam,
in the worlds early history, was
able to make love to the only
woman living, don't you think
the young people can get along
without a school in wich to be
instructed how to make love?
It's expressed in all languages
by all peoples old as the world,
sweet as perfume of rose and
falls on the human heart unbid-
den as the dews of heaven falls
upon the petals of the rose and
warns the human heart, and
purifies the human action of the

Hammond Hearing at Logan.

To take evidence regarding
a change of venue in the case
of Mary Hammond VS. Gumb ct
al A. w. P'9c kburn, clerk of the
district cou ), has been appoint
ed as commissioner by Judge
Smith McPhe 10 Of the federal
court and the hearing will be
held April %.
The action was brought by
Mary Hammond of Mills county
whose husband was killed at
Mo. Valley on August IL, last
year. She asks for S12,75O stat
ing that the Mo. Valley saloon
keepers had sold Intoxicating
liquors to her husband until he
became drunk and that it was
because of this intoxicated con-
dition that he went upon the
tracks and there met his death.
The bonding company with
whom Gumb, Fitzgibbon and
other saloonkeepers are listed
is also mentioned as defendant.
The attorneys for the defense
asked that the case be taken
from the Harrison county dis
trict court to the federal court
at Cornell Bluffs, claiming as a
ground that a fair trial could
not be secured here for anyone
in the saloon business as the
sentiment in this county, out
side of Mo. Valley, is decidedly
against the saloons. Afldavits
signed by different parties were
secured stating that it was the
belief of the signers of these
afidavlts that a fair trial could
not be had in this county be-
cause it would be impossible to
get a jury, some members of
which were not prejudiced
against the liquor business.
The hearing to be held here
will be for the purpose of TAX
ing evidence to ascertain
whether such is true, and if the
saloonkeepers can not be given
IA fair trial by a Hirrison county
jury. Logan Observer.

Board of Regents Bill Killed.

The house listened to a two
hours speech in favor of the
bill to consolidate the state ed
ucational institutions under one
board of regents, and then calm
ly killed the bill by vote of As
to 50. No one talked for or
against the bill except Teter of
Marion, who was a member of
the legislative commission that
made made the investigation of
the question, and he talked for
it. 1t was claimed for the last
several days that there were &c
votes pledged against the meas
ure. The bill was passed by
the senate last session and kill
ed in the house, and met the
same fate in the same way this
session. Early in the session it
might have been possible to
have gotten the bill through
the house, but the tide has been
steadily turning for some time.

The litigation growing out of the
failure of the old Bank of Americas has
at last been settled, it is understood,
by compromise arranged by Judge
A. l.. Miller, of Macon, representing
the creditors of the long defunct insti-
tuition, and Col. William Garrard, of
Savannah, representing stockholders
of the bank at the time of the failure
who have not yet paid their prorata
toward settling up the debts of the
institution.
Under the charter of the bank the
stockholders were liable for it's debts,
not only to the value of their stock,
but up to their limit to meet the debts
of the institution.
The debts were vastly in excess Of
the assets of the bank when it closed
its doors. Many of the stockholders
settled up rather than go through 1iti-
CATION. Efforts were made to force
everybody who had ever held stock in
the institution to stand liable for its
debts, but these failed.
Efforts to bring some of the stock

taw failed. Court decisions were Sc
cured reversing old decisions under
which it was hoped to collect sufficient
to pay the creditors dollar for dollar.
The outstanding claims against stock
holders have been dragging along for
years.
1t is stated that the basis OF the
compromise now arranged is for the
payment of thirty-three and a third
per cent. of the par value of the stock
held by those who have not yet
contributed toward the payment of
the bankrupt banks indebtedness.
Two Savannah banks hold 81, 900
of stock, one block of$5 1000, another
block of $4,000. Under the agree
ment which will be submitted to the
Court for final approval these two
banking institutions will pay So ,666. &C.
If there are any other stockholders in
the same position as these Savannah
concerns, they will doubtless avail
themselves of the same compromise
and avoid further litigation.
