DOUBT MRS. KooNTz.

Investigation tn BE Made OF the Man
ner OF George Koontx' Death.
ALBA. Ia. June 20.-che body of
George Koontz, who committed suicide
last week, has been ordered exhumed,
and post mortem made. Koontz lived
few miles west of Loyilla. Some time
ago woman came into the community
and gave music lessons. She boarded
at Koontz', giving his wife lessons for
her board. 1t was the same old story
Koontz became too familiar with the
woman, and his wife left him. Koontz
then took the music teacher home to
Eddyville. Returning, he purchased
bottle of carbolic acid. Mrs. Koontz
and her father went over to the
house and found Koontz there with a
revolver He called to his wife, but her
father would not let her go in, fearing
Koontz would kill her. After few
minutes he came out and told them he
had taken carbolic acid. Sinking into
. chair he died Immediately. This is
the story told by Mrs. Koontz. There
has been developed some strange things
since which indicate that an investiga-
tion may lead to sensational results.

Story Of the street Railway Strike al
st. Paul and Minneapolis, and Its
Settlement.
Nearly Two Thousand Men Went Out,
After Debating the Question But
Few Hours.
They Gained. What They Wanted, and
In Less Than Twelve Hours Were
Mt Work Again.

ST. PAUL, June 20.-There are no
traces of the unexpected street car
strike of Sunday in this city and Min
neapolis, the cars all being run on
schedule time throughout the day.
The action of the men in striking
was most unexpected, and it has been
seldom indeed that strike was so we'll
organized ON so short notice.
How 1t Happened.
There had been some talk among the
men on Saturday night about the action
of the company in requiring its en-
ployes to sign new contract. but
neither the company officials nor the
men had the least idea that the strike
would occur until after the last car
was housed for the night. The strike
originated in Minneapolis, the decision
to go out having been arrived at about
$3.50 Sunday morning Delegates from
the Minneapolis meeting at once cams
to this city and succeeded in getting all
the conductors and motoneers to no
out. With the exception of five cars
on the East Seventh street and Selby
avenue cable lines, manned by barn
employees, not car was moved. In
Minneapolis the strikers were even
more successful, mot single car leaving
the barns.
Conference Held.
Meetings of strikers were held in
both cities during the morning and
committees appointed to wait on the
company officials and attempt to settle
the controversy. Mayor Eustis of Min.

The Obnoxious Contract.
The order of the company which
caused the tie-up of its lines is in sub
stance as follows:
"All street railway conductors and
drivers will be held responsible here
after, not only for breakage to their
cars, windows, trolleys, ETC., but to
vehicles broken in collisions in acci-
dents due to the negligence of the con-
ductor or motorman."
In addition to this the strikers asked
that the portion of the application
which they are compelled to answer
whether or not they belong to a labor
organization be stricken out and q
standing board of arbitration from
among the men be recognized by the
company. The company acceded to the
demand in regard to the contracts and
agreed TO arrange the other matters to
suit the men,

ity. Let us thank God for the maladies
OF life, well knowing, however, that not
one is Of his creation nor in accordance
with his wish. Let us pause here to re-
estimate our hard run liberties. We are
managing life well. Out of every four
infants born, we secure the death of one in
infancy, Of another in early youth. of the
third before middle life, and, unless the
chances are recklessly against us, the
closing out of the entire stock before
maturity as maturity should go. Half OF
all human energy Is wasted by disease.
Half of all the worlds work is undone or
poorly done, from ineficiency of body or
lack of vigor of brain. Nine-tenths OF
all the race die prematurely. Violence
and accident stay their psltry A or 5 per
cent; preventable diseases carry off 80
per cent. DIR. Koch will not be compelled
to incubate more deadly disease germs,
nor M. Clifford erect for us suicidaria,
where men weary Of life may, with ease
and certainty, put an end to themselves
and life that has become distasteful.
Our present methods will hopefully
meet all immediate wants and we can
still chant the refrain of ages. Let him
who is filthy infect Us still, and him who
is polluted be the model of our youth.
Let the daughters be playthings and
sons tobacco stills. Let our tables be
snare to the children and our beds poi
son to the well. Let appetite be master
and passion wear the crown till the fate
of Babylon or Athens be ours and our
cities be turned over to healthy trees and
undrugged beasts.
