The calamity howlers of the Repub
lican party are in sorry straits. The
partial return of business prosperity
has put them at their wits end. They
predicted so often and vociferously
that if the tariff bill became law the
destruction of all prosperity would
inevitably follow; and the reverse
having proven the case, they are in a
dilemma which they cannot explain
away.

many men are at work in these mines
and show disposition to do all that is
necessary to make themselves indispen-
sible. We visited the stables where
mules are kept and also saw several
rats in the barn to act as company
Every thing moves like clock-work and
it is indeed Il grand sight to see the
precision with which all things are
transacted We next visited the fan
which creates the air for the entire
mine. The dwelling houses for the
miners use. ten in number at present,
were visited. The houses are cozy and
nice, and with the aid of a company
store and postofiice makes it very near
a town.
The colored men scored grand vic
tory when they gained possession OF the
works for mining coal and we believe
they will fill the respective positions
with satisfaction to the operator and
Justice to themselves. Most of the
men are experienced and practical
miners.
Among those acting in an official
capacity are: Mr.. Tolliver, night
watch; Mr.. Swan, general mine over
seer; Mr.. Henderson, general instructor;
Messrs. Burrell and Jacks son, drive
entries. The officers as well as the
entire force are thoroughly competent
and trustworthy. We were royalty
entertained and shown everything in
detail Success to the undertaking.

A simple and touching sight might
have been witnessed in a Paris church
the other day during the celebration
of fashionable and largely attended
wedding In a corner of the edigce
observed by few stood youthful
couple. a mulatto girl and her equally
juvenile and equally dusky sweet
heart. The two appeared intently
watching the ceremony going on in
front of the altar, and copied each
movement made by the bride and
bridegroom whom the priest was max
ing man and wife. AS they knelt down,
SO did the other couple kneel, and
when the faultlessly attlred bride
groom placed the ring on the blushing
brides finger the young mulatto did
likewise, only his ring was OF metal
and the bride less fair. At length,
when the procession emerged
from the church, the humble
couple followed, looking as if
they thought they were quite as
much married as their more fortunate
brethren. 1t transpired that such was
indeed their belief. The two lovers,
who are models known to
many artists here had no money
wherewith to pay the priest or the
registrars fees, so they thought a we'd
ding at secondhand would be just as
effectual and cost nothing,

Monday evening, Miss Leata Horn to
Mr. VIM. King. At an early hour their
many friends began to gather, and by
half past eight o'clock the rooms were
filed with guests. At 8 o'clock the
wedding march was played and the
happy couple marched into the parlor,
where they were joined together for
life. Rev. S. b. Jones in his graceful
manner officiated. Those present from
out of the city We're Mrs. $. Johnson,

the recipients of many valuable pres
ents. They have the best wishes of all

A PEEP AT THE SITUATION.

We visited the Christy coal works
Wednesday afternoon. The mines are
located about four and one-half miles
northeast of the city and are the best
equipped OF any in the city, if not in
the state The mines employ at pres
ent about forty men, nearly all colored.
The miners have an extra good four
foot vein, and by this superior advan-
tage are able to mine coal to the extent
of from sos to $50 per month. After
viewing the engine, water pumps and
adjacent buildings we We're lowered by
an elevator TO the bottom of the mine,
a distance of 115 or 120 feet.
The first things one sees after
leaving the elevator cause him to
stand aghast in utter astonish-
ment. To the inexperienced sojourner
the sensation is inexpressible. From
the lower landing the party composed
of Messrs. John d. Reeler, I. E. Bar
ton, R. n. Hyde and Thad Ruff moved
onward east and north distance OF a
mile, seeing as we went many strange
and fascinating bits of scenery. The
party visited several rooms, as they are
called, where the miners We're busily
engaged in digging coal. The blasting
is done twice day, at noon and the

DEATH OF APIONEER.

Hon. Th omas Mitchell died last Sum
day. He was one of the early settlers
of this state and county. He was born
in the state of New Hampshire March
3, 1916, and came to Iowa in 1910. He
entered a claim in Jefferson county,
upon which his brother now resides.
Having resided in Jefferson county
until 1874, Thomas Mitchell came to
Polk county and on Camp Creek erected
three log cabins, each 1sx20 feet. He
obtained permission to carry out that
plan from Captain Allen, who then had
charge of the garrison of Fort Des
Moines. These were the only houses,
outside of the fort, then in Polk county.
After keeping tavern two years, in 1916
he removed to what was called Apple
Grove, where he entered 1000 acres of
land. Mr.. Mitchell developed a fine
farm in what is now Beaver township,
and improved more than 1000 acres in
this county. At the time the soldiers
left Des Moines in 1S45 he was person
ally acquainted with every white man
in the county. At that time there was
from 900 to 1000 red men in the neigh
borhood. There was an Indian village
Just west of Colfax on the Skunk river.
where lived Poweshlek, the chief of
the Fox tribe, with whom Mr.. Mitchell
was well acquainted. The red men for
time farmed upon his land. In 1910
no white man had made location more
than seven miles west of that place,
and in ls45. when Gen. A. G. Dodge
visited Polk county to ascertain the
views of the people in regard to max
ing Iowa a state, in conversation with
Mr.. Mitchell, he said that in all prob
ability the western boundary line
would be but few miles west of the
fort and said that the land beyond was
part of the American desert.
Mr. Mitchell was elected sheriff of
Polk county and later held the posi-
tions of member of the board of super
vissrs, and of the general assembly and
in 1873 was called from private life to
represent this county in the Iowa SEN
ate.
He began life on the farm where SO
many men have started, and he thought
the work worth doing well. His life
has been very busy one and a useful
one and furnishes fine example for
the youth of the state to follow. He
founded the town of Mitchellville in
1867. Those who knew him best loved
him the most.

THE RAILWAY UNION AND THE
COLORED MAN.
Father Malone in Colorado Catholic.


Much feeling has been aroused
among the colored people of the coun-
try by the action of the American Rail.
way union, which in itsrecent conven-
tion in Chicago drew the color line and
barred Negroes from the union.
This feeling has manifested itself in
Chicago by the organization of a color
ed laboring mems union, which is to
be known as the Anti-Strikers Railroad
union. The object of this union is to
complete thorough organization of
the colored men who have had sufficient
experience to fill the different positions
vacated by the members of the Amer
lean Railway Union, now on strike,
with view to filling the vacant places.
1t is said that there are over SO, 900
colored men in the country who have
had sufficient practical experience to
fill the positions recently held by the
members of the American Railway
union.
The white members of the railroad
union denied to these colored men the
protection which they asked for them
selves and if now the men whom they
barred from their union come forward
and take the place of the white men
they cannot complain.
In refusing to protect their colored
brothers the delegates to the conven-
tion of the American Railroad union
were guilty of an un-C Christian act, and
who will say that the colored men are
not justified in organizing so as to OBJ
tain that protection which the white
laborer was unwilling to grant them.
In drawing the color line the Amer
lean Railroad union lost much sym
pathy, and until the action of the Chi
cago convention is undone OF in some
practical manner repudiated, that SYM
pathy cannot beregained. Men asking
for equal rights should not forget the
legal maxim that he who seeks equity

The ODD FELLOWS 70 MEET

On next Tuesday, July "a, will con-
vene at Ft Madison the grand lodge of
Odd Fellows of the state of Iowa. The
organization, founded on the principles
of friendship, love and truth, has done
and will do power for good through
The hand of brotherly love and friend
ship is all-inspiring to its members and
is extended freely and cordially to all
who knock at their door and affiliate
themselves to the order The history
of Odd Fellowship is a repetition Of the
country's history. There are some
thing like 3 100000 Odd Fellows in the
world The following lodges are un-
der the jurisdiction of Iowa: Reliance,
KeolSuk: Ottumwa, Ottumwa Charity,
Des Moines; Bright Angel Burlington;
Muchakinock, Muchakinock; Virginia,
Cleveland: Z. A. Cheek, Mt. Pleasant;
Upper Light, Oskaloosa; Abba, Abba.
Charity Lodge, 2192, was organized in
Des Moines in 1881, and the state grand
lodge IN 1882 Charity Lodge, as per-
haps many others. had no easy time in
attaining the position it now holds.
When the facts are considered and the
few years in which the grand and local
lodges have had to mature, the ad-
vaucement is unparalleled. Grand
Master X. Barterlett, Grand Secretary
C. ii. Brooks and Treasurer Smith have
worked incessantly for the perfection
Of the order. Their work shows for
itself and every member deserves the
greatest praise for his able assistance.
The city of Ft. Madison is no doubt
pleased to entertain SO distinguished a
body of men, and the lodge in turn will
show their a appreciation for SO kind
favor. 1t is thought large delega-
ton will be present to represent the
respective lodges and careful and
thoughtful deliberation will be the aim
and object of the meeting. The Iowa

Hints for Amateur Florists.

A young girl, whose class colors are
blue and white, made tour Of the
florists in search of blue carnations
with most discouraging results They
could be found but were too expens-
i've. A way was discovered out OF the
difficulty by friend, who suggested
putting the stems of white carnations
in bluing water. The experiment.
proved great success, and the class
will no doubt appear with blue and
white carnations without the assist
ance of high-priced florist. Purple
violets may be changed to beautiful
blue by putting little ammonia in
the water and letting them remain
over night.
