NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Today's re-
newed declines on the stock exchange
may no doubt have been partly attrib-
utable to the peculiarly interesting
stage reached by the London peace
negotiations and to the continued
wavering Of the copper market. But
these uncertainties seemed to be
overshadowed by a spirit Of unpleas-
ant uncertainty, arising from the
mooted proposals of regulation of
stock exchange affairs by public
authorities In this, as In many epf-

which was magnified.
Business on the stock exchange

more general. Prices, despite much
uncertainty, were pretty we'll held in

FOR MUTUAL HELP
The Plan Would Not Interfere With
the Individual Rights But 10
For Mutual
| Benefit.

Representatives from six county
and Missouri met in this city this
afternoon for the purpose OF forming
circuit under which to operate the
fairs.
There were representatives Of the
associations from West Point, Iowa,
Donnellson, Iowa, Memphis. Mo-,
Bloomfield, Ia, Milton, Iowa. and
Kahoka, Mo-, and all favor the idea OF
the circuit. John Walljasper and
Theo. Wonderland, OF West Point, are
the leaders in the movement and Mr..
Wallpaper presided at the meeting.
In explaining the advantages OF
the circuit Mr. Walljasper said, Tho
circuit will help the fairs in more
than one way. If the dates come in
rotation and the classes OF the races
are uniform we. can get horse men to
stay the entire six weeks on the cir
cult and it will bring out a better class
Il Of racing. Also we can get good,
clean shows to follow the SIX weeks
circuit and can stop the takers who
misrepresent the other fairs, Wien
seeking concessions"
4 The last year all OF these six fairs
followed each other in succession and
all Of them received much benefit from
this fact. 1t is planned for mutual
help but would not in any way limit
the individual rights of one organiza-
ton.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 14.-To
make every officer in Iowa, elective
or appointive, state, county, city and
township, subject to removal for mis-
conduct or malfeasance of office by
court trial upon petition of qualified
electors, is the sweeping purpose OF a
bill William F. Stipe, of Clarinda,
Page county, will introduce early In
the thlrty-fifth general assembly which
convened yesterday.
At conference held yesterday
afternoon between Mr. Stipe and Sen
ator John L. Wilson of Almont, ,lin-
ton county, the latter agreed to
champion the bill when 1t reaches
the upper house Though Mr.. Wilson
is member of the democratic minor
ity in the senate, he is looked upon
as a most favorable person to direct
the destinies of the measure, for at
the last session he secured the pas
sage of such measure in the senate
and it was killed in the house.
1t has been determined this year
to start it in the house, and if passed
there, put the responsibility of final
| Judgment W to the senate. Mr.. Will
son believes the upper house would
again pass the measure. Mr. Stipe,
being republican with past expert
ence in the house thinks he will be
able to get the measure favorable re-
ception there.
This purposes the fulfillment OF
the policy laid down in the Cosson
law, which has resulted in the remov-
a. OF half dozen supervisors, three
or four mayors, and uncovered enorm-
GUS graft.
| When the Cosson law was original
Nv offered by the senator who is now
attorney general, and had demonstrate
ed its practicability by enforcing it.
the provisions extended to every of
fcer of. county, city and township.
| Members feared this was giving too
much authority and 1t was trim
med so as to be applicable to only
mayors and supervisors. The value o.
1t in ousting unworthy officials has
been so demonstrated that now the
champions Of the measure believe they
can bring about its entire fulfllment.
Whether in specifying county OF
fcers, judges will be included is mat
ter vet under consideration. II the,

The CHRISTIAN
HOME PHANAGE
Remarkable Charitable Institution
Over ThIrty-Two Years Old and
the Source Of Much
Good.
IT HAS NO BRANCHES
Absolutely Non-sectarIan-No salar-
les for Agents or Solicitors
Provides for Large Num-
Der Daily.

A remarkable institution Is the
Christian Crphanage Home, located at
Council Bluffs, Iowa, which goes on
in the even tenor of its way from year
to year increasing each twelve-month
in it's circle and usefulness. It's
methods are different from any In
stitutions of Its kind especially in
gaining publicity.
This orphanage was founded IN
1882 by Rev. and Mrs. j. G. Lemen,
both of whom are now dead.
1t has constantly an average Of two
hundred and fifty to provide for daily.
1t claims to be absolutely non-sec-
tartan and Is supported by the volun.
tary offerings Of charitable people
from all parts Of the country.
1t has no endowment of any nature.
| 1t is incorporated under the laws Of
Iowa, governing charitable and religi-
GUS organizations.
1t has no branches,
1t does not pay out any money for
hotel bills, railroad fare or salaries OF
travelling agents or solicitors. There
fore all donations, all church collec-
tions, etc., go directly to the support of
| the children. The only solicitors the
orphanage has are its friends in all
parts OF the country, who do their
soliciting in their own towns and
communities where they are known
free Of all charge and for the sake OF
the homeless and afflicted children
The home charges no fees for placing
children in private families. 1t doet
not separate families Of young chill
dren, believing it cruel to do SO.
The Christian Home does not sinp
ly receive orphan children who hav,
sound bodies and minds, and for whom
, private families will readily ope,
their doors. The home receives thes
! little ones and places them out 10
adoption in private families. But
goes farther than even this great lin
of work; it also receives those VIII,
are deformed and afflicted; those t
whom no other door Is open; thos
who are hard to care for, who tax tn
heart and the nerve of their protector
and nurses, but who, nevertheless
: are homeless and suffering.
The home also conducts depart
ment for aged and dependent women
It's departments for the aged and al
flicted contain constantly from thirt
to forty inmates.

Church Out Of Debt.

The church building has been prac-
tioally remade since he came to Keo-
kuk. The walls are the same and not
much done to the interior, but there
has been expended in various improve
ments about $4,000, and fine organ
has been placed in the building at a
considerable cost, and the church
owes no man anything-is absolutely
out of debt.
1t is not expected that Rev. Foster
will sever his connection with the
Iseokuk congregation for few
months at least There is nothing
known as to his plans for the future
and it might be that the matter will
be proerastinated along until he with
draw his indefinite resignation, if 1t
NAV be so designated. But no such
intimation comes from him or any
member of the congregation. Rev
Foster has won much respect and
confidence from the good people OF
Keokuk and his departure from here
will be matter Of much regret. He
will take with him his pleasant fam
lily. his amiable wife who has won her
way into the hearts of the people and
his bright little children, full OF life
and promise.
