CONDUCTOR GETS LEFT.
Queer Incident Happens on an Iowa
Central Urnin.

Queer Incident Happens on an Iowa
Central Train.
1t isn't very often that a conductor of
train gets left, especially by his own
train, but such was the case in this city
Tuesday evening, when Conductor S. b.
Chapman, the veteran ticket puncher
of the Central, was left on the depot
platform while his train pulled out for
the south.
The Northwestern's double track
seems to have been the cause of the oc-
currence on the Central. Conductor
Chapman gave no signal, but signal
given by the conductor of the Colorado
special was mistaken by the fireman of
the Central train to be Conductor
Chapman's lantern. He reported an
'all right to Engineer Peterson and
the result was that the train pulled
| out.
With the new arrangement of the
double track the vest bound trains pull
in directly alongside of the Central, and
the conductor, In order to catch the eye
of his engineer, who is up beyond Sec
ond avenue, has to step to the south as
far as possible. This brings him over
to the side of the Central's train. and

the Central pulled out Conductor Chap
man was personally experimenting the
getting of mail from off the Colorado
special as the mail south-bound has
been missed several times even when
connections We're made at this point.
Consequently the mail was left here
with the conductor. AS soon as the cir
cumstance was made known on the
train, which was when the train had
nearly reached Dillon. it was held at
that point until Conductor Chapman
and the mail could be taken south on a
Hight engine, No. 1o4, in charge of Engi-
neer Long, who had pulled in with
freight No. ga and was waiting for the
! passenger to get out before he left. 1t
was about $50 O'clock before the pas
4 senger got out of Dillon.

N SHAPE FOR WINTER.
New Pump on the City's Water Ex-
tension Now Working Night
and Day.
Machinery is All Comfortably Housed
and Pumping Will Continue
All Winter.
Believed That Use of River Water
Will Not Be Necessary Every
body Can Drink.

The water committee of the city
council now has everything at the new
extension in shape for cold weather and
is gratified at the status of affairs at
this point.
The new pump recently purchased by
the committee in Chicago has been
started, and beginning with Tuesday
night a night force was put at work
and pumping from now ON will be con
tinued might and day during the entire
winter. The new machinery is work
ing to the complete satisfaction Of the
committee. A substantial house has
been erected over both the new pump
and the boiler recently moved TO the
we'll from the water works. While the
building is not an expensive one. 1t is
comfortable and convenient for the
work
AT the present time the city is secur-
ing between 100000 an 100000 gallons
daily from the we'll. This amount can
be increased somewhat If it is found
necessary, but at present the supply,

entirely. 1t has been necessary TO take
considerable water from the river for
the past month: or during the time that
the work OF changing the boilers and
setting UP the new engine was in prog

An. PLANTATION from tho Marshall-
town Accident Association OH
GERS.
The statement in regard to the Mar
shalltown accident Association IN last
nights issue is viewed as falsely repre-
sentng us, and one might be led to in
fer dishonorable purposes on as
upright business men as thXe
are in the city, and some
statements are necessary to place
the case in true light, so far as the
officers are concerned. The state insur-
ance department has at no time been
after this association, as stated as can
be proved by referring the matter TO
the auditor. The company has done
straightforward business and has at no
time defrauded the good people of
Iowa" in any manner. as the petition
recites. The insurance department did
not press the matter of appointing re-
ceiyer. but We're actually asked il few
days previous, as a full agreement on
the part of the directors to close up af-
fairs, which had been practically agreed
upon three months ago at the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Stewart. 1t was not through
the influence of the state department
that the Imperial did not assume the
membership, but of the backing out of
such company on the decision of the
auditor that they could not have the
membership without the liabilities, and
had to be sharply reprimanded before
they would give back books, etc. A let
ter written by the secretary, Mr.. Bow
en-. to disinterested party in this city.
is now being circulated in an endeavor
to injure the characters of the officers
of the Marshalltown Accident. These are
simply few correct statements which
are due the public and officers of the
association, on whom no blame of dis
honorable conduct has been thrown by
the state department, who are in pos
session of the true facts, and they can
be substantiated by referring to them
The company shows straightforward
set of books and are shown to have ap-
propriated the money according to law.
The officers are losers to considerable
extent and have not, like some com
panies, used money for salaries instead
of paying claims. 1t was we'll known
by the company that Mr.. Remiey was
coming to Marshalltown. as it was
through their request that he came.

!. THE ROSARY OF A RAMBLER


We hear so much of the lack of re-
spect which young America shows the
old that we sometimes wonder if the
assertion has not more of triteness
than of truth in it. But after few
words said by an elderly woman not
long ago, we have come to think per-
haps the criticism is just. She was
stepping from a car and heavily laden
with bundles, when a young woman.
with CHEEKY word, relieved her of
some of her burdens and helpev her to
the crossing. "Oh, thank you so much"
she said as her tired face lighted up.
1T is so seldom that the young think
to help the old" And she smiled as the
girl went on. What, a little thing it
was, The girl may have forgotten all
about it ere this, but the deed was
more than worth While If to the one
old woman was brought a fleeing rev.
eiation that youth is not all selfish or
either thoughtless.
The talk had drifted to hospitality
and the relation sustained to it by
apology. One woman told how she
served what she had to her guests and
however inferior it might be to what
she desired never embarrassed her
guests by comment. But such a course
would not be bad for her to follow, as
hher friends know her beautiful home to
be so we'll ordered that the undesirable
seldom happens. We never know what
we may do until we are tried. Another
woman, to illustrate this, told of a
friend living in the country, whose
home was of the humblest and whose
lresources Were the scantiest. Yet she
was full of hospitality and her house
labounded with good cheer. One day
the city friend CHANGED TO be in her
inelghborhoed and stopped for a few
moments rest. The hostess asked If
She were not hungry, and the guest
frankly said that she was. She
placed upon the table little
lunch. ana although it was Very seant
and almost coarse, she neither. by look
l.nor action. limited that ii was not such
| fare as her friend was, accustomed to.
She might have prepared me a better
lunch, which would have been more To
lmyttaste.' the story teller said, but
would not have enjoyed 1t 50 much, nor
Thought so much at her as | did when
lshe showed me the dignity ard kind
ness she did She had indeed done

tality does not consist of yenlson and

THE ADMIRAL's VISITORS.
He Accepts an Invitation From phil
ndeInhin's MnN0r

ndeIphia's Mayor
Admiral Dewey received delegations
yesterday from Philadelphia and Savannah
Ga, both of which cities extended through
their representatives invitations to attend
celebrations in his honor. The committee
from Philadelphia was headed by Mayor
Samuel II. Ashbridge, who rendered the
Admiral the hospitality of his city the lat
ter part of this month. Admiral Dewey ac-
cepted the invitation and named October 81
as the day. He will probably leave Wash
ington the afternoon of that date return
ing the night of November 4.
Admiral Dewey viii endeavor to accept
at the same time invitations which have
been extended him by the Union League
the Clover Club Five O'Clock Club. and
the Manufacturers League. The arrange
ments for his entertainment at Philadel-
phia include a short military parade and
a banquet
The delegation from Savannah was not
given a positive answer, but it is possible
that the Admiral will visit that city after
the celebration at Atlanta.
