A Good Meeting.

The republicans had a good meet
ing at Center school house in Jeffer.
son township Saturday night The
house was crowded many having to
stand up, and others stood outside
and heard the speeches through the
open windows.
Hon. L. @. Blanchard and w. G.
Jones candidates for Senator and
Representative respectively made the
addresses of the evening. They dis
cussed the issues in an intelligent
and plain way, and apparently salts
fled all their hearers, many of whom
were democrats. After music by the
quartette the several candidates on
the republican ticket were introduced
by James A. Dewitt and they made a
very favorable impression on the
crowd. Nick Holt was chairman of
the evening, and the success of the
meeting showed that the republicans
are active in that neighborhood, and
that the people in general are anxious
for the success of the party in power
and for continued prosperity.

MINES AND MINING
Some Notes of Interest in tn
Mining World.

State Mine Inspector Miller has
filed his biennial report with the
governor. The 397 mines of the state
produced nearly 1,2OO,0 900 tons more
coal in 1893 that in 1898, the year end
ing June 10 in each case. The mum
Der of miners in 1S97-9s was I, 1856, and
the past year S,036. In 1928 they
were paid $685. IT'S and last year
s315, 200 more. Other employees were
paid 81 ,248 ,23O in 1897. 90 and 81, 1923, 933
in 1S98-99.
At the call of State President
Hunter, 1900 miners employed at
Spring Valley, Illinois, laid down
their picks. The supply of coal from
this point will drop 5000 tons daily
until settlement is made. The
cause is alleged to be the refusal of
General Manager Dalzell to stop
union dues at the company office.

Des Moines, Oct. 2O.-Operators of
the big shipping mines complained
yesterday that local operators. who
have claimed they were holding their
miners to the union scale of so cents
for digging, or had allowed advances
of not to exceed 80 cents per ton for
the winter season, are secretly offer
ing miners in the big mines 81 ton
to get them away. The local mines
are protiting by the rush of shipping
business coming to the big mines,
which has caused them to throw over
her local trade, and as the local
miners get $3.50 for ever ton of coal
sold it is claimed they can afford to
pay 81. Local operators deny the
charge.

AT COUNCIL BLUFFS
Iowa's Gallant SYST. Will Be
Royalty Welcomed.

Council Bluffs, Oct, 23.-It is al
ready settled fact that when the
soldiers of the Fifty-first Iowa reach
Council Bluffs on their return from
the Philippines they will be greeted
by the biggest gathering this city has
ever seen. Estimates based on adyices
already received from a number of
the cities and towns interested, place
the number of Iowans who will be
here at from $4,000 to 20, 900. 1t is
probable that this estimate will be
Exceeded.
| More of the companies in the Fifty
first come from towns along the line
of the %" than from any other road
and the officials of the so" are al
ready counting on from ten to twelve
trains of ten cars each to accommo-
date the excursionists who will take
part in the celebration. 1t is recalled
that with no further inducementt than
reduced retes, no lower and probably
not so low as those which will prevail
for this occasion, the 80" has before
broughtto Council Bluffs several train
loads of excursionists.
The Burlington officials have been
actively advertising the reception to
the FiftyFirst and have done clever
and energetic work in this line, and
Colonel Davenport.is in receipt of nu-
merous letters, which show what
Council Bluffs may expect. Creston
writes that it will need whole train.
Red Oak says it is not so much a uues-
ton how many people will come from
there as how many cars they can
have Indianola writes that it is COM
ing in force with band.
There will be no lack of bands to
fill the atmosphere with music. The
committees having charge of the mat
ter say it, is practically certain that
bands will be given transportation
without cost, and after arrival will
share the entertainment given the
soldiers.
The transportation committee re-
quested special rates for the reception
one cent mile for the round trip
Although no official announcement
has been made, it is assured that the
interested railroad companies will
make rates as good if not better than
this.
