son have been selected as grand jur.

iCommandant Horton, OF tho Sol
diers. Home, Engages Colored
CookO.
Commandant c. c. Horton, of the
Soldiers Home. was about as surprised
as any one could possibly be when. on
Saturday, he received a call from three
colored women from Des Moines, who
ANNOUNCED that In answer to his letters
they had reported for duty as cooks In
the main building. The commandment
hardly knew what to do, but he kept
his surprise to himself, telling the
women that they could go to work at
once. as had been agreed upon by let
ter.
According to the recent board of con-
troll rule women cooks We're ordered for
the Home, together with women wait
ers. TO the commandant fell the duty
OF supplying the cooks, and short time
ago a well-written letter was received
from Des Moines woman, applying
i for the position. AS assistant cooks
were needed also, the applicant Tor the
lposition announced her ability to sup
ply the same. and she was so ordered to
| do. Imagine the commandments surprise
then when three negro women showed
up in answer to his letters.
Col. Horton has no doubt but that the
women are good cooks. and good cooks
are what are wanted. He would have
preferred white cooks. however, for
several reasons, the principal one OF
which is that the prospective walters,
who will be white women. may not get
along very we'll with colored cooks,
from whom, Of course, they will receive
their orders. The women walters will
be installed just as soon as places car
be provided to keep them.

Marshalltown is going to secure the

Several weeks ago, 1t will be remem-

pedo mines which the men of his vessel,
the u. s. Eagle, had taken from the
harbor at Guantanamo, Cuba, where

Fletcher offered to Oskaloosa. which
was also formerly his home. The only
proviso was that the city should pay the
freight and the cost Of mounting the
relic at some suitable place where 1T
would be an object lesson in modern
warfare
Recently Mayor Pierce took the mat
ter up with Mr.. Fletcher and today re-
ceived word to the effect that the mine
had been shipped. Members Of the
board of supervisors have signified
their willingness to help pay the ex-

mine a place In the court house park
The relic will be rarity and Marshall

CAPTURES A JAIL BIRD.

A Wisconsin Prisoner, Who Broke
Jail Over q Year Ago, Arrested by
city Marshal Jones.
City Marshal Jones made an impor-
tant capture Saturday evening at about
o'clock when he arrested near the
Second street water tank Fred Hauser,
alias Charles Williams, whose home is
claimed to be in Illinois.
Hauser is claimed to be an escaped
prisoner who, in July, 1898, robbed
Nels j. Manson, at Wilson, Wis, of So
Manson was cook in the employ of
Iverson. Richardson & Co., proprietors
of a boarding camp that at that time
boarded employees of the North
western when the company was putting
lin Wisconsin extension. Hauser was
taken from Wilson, where he had pre-
lliminary hearing before a justice of the
peace and was bound over to the grand.
Jury, to Hudson the county seat of La
Croix county, in which the alleged
crime was committed. While In Jail, on
Aug. /, 1898, in company with another
prisoner, Hauser, with the aid of hay
hook, dug through f1ve-foct brick wall
and escaped. Cards We're sent out all
over the state, and efforts have been
made to capture him, but they were Of
no avail. A reward was also offered by
Sheriff Core.
| Manson the man who was robbed by
Hauser, is now working for his COM
pany at Quarry, In one of the board
ling camps there, and on Saturday
morning last he saw, much to his sur
prise, the man whom the Wisconsin
peace officers have been searching for
so long. Hauser saw Manson, too, and
1t Is said broke and ran through corn
field. Manson then came to MARSHALL
town, where he reported the occurrence
and the facts regarding the crime and
escape to City Marshal Jones, who,
with the description furnished, went to
work on the case. The marshal, who
was in citizens clothing, or he would
lhaye never secured the man, went up
lintoithe west yards looking for him, and
saw whom he suspected was the right
>lfeilow sitting on the end of q railroad
tie. He approached him and asked him
where he was bound for and secured q
! reply that he was bound for the west
Zones then introduced himself and told
1.-THE fellow he guessed he had bette,
come with him. He was taken to jail
and Sheriff F. G.. Greene, the presen,
incumbent Of LaCroix county. was mott
fed by wire. A telegram in response
from Sheriff Greene says he will come
after the man.

IOWA CENTRAL SALE.
No Set Valuation Can be. Made on the
Rond.

No set Valuation Can be Made on the
Road.
II don't think that the supposed ne
gotiations for the sale of the Iowa Cen
trail have as yet assumed such proper
tons that they can be dignified by the
appellation of negotiations, said a
prominent attorney of Des Moines to a 4
Capital representative. The attorney is
one who has been closely connected
with the Milwaukee and probably
knows more about the situation than
any one else in the city. There are in
dications that the directors of the Iowa
Central would like to dispose of the
property, but it is impossible for them
to arrange the matter in the cut and
dried way which the papers have been
talking Of.
1T is ridiculous to suppose that any
particular valuation could be set upon
the property of the road and that it
could be disposed of in any such a
manner If the road is to be purchased
| by the Milwaukee or any of the other
| trunk lines, it must be gotten posses
sion of by straight purchase of the
stock And it would be a pretty diff
4 cult matter to secure even controlling
Interest in the stock. 1T is held in the
hands of probably thousand different
persons and it would have to be secured.
| from each holder at the best price that
/ he would accept. The directors could
4 not name any price per mile as the
means by which the road should be
valued and sold. Possession of the
properties of the road must be given
through a transfer of the stock hold
4 ings. AT the present time, the talk
4 which is being made about the posi-
bility of a sale is only resulting In in
terfering seriously with the prospects
of a transfer. The stock has been go
ing up on the market and each of the
different holders is naturally setting a
price which he would accept for his
stock. 1t would be pretty Difficult,
: pick it all up.
"A controlling interest in the stock
is not held by any one person or by
| any band of persons and this fact
would make it all the more difficult tc
secure control. Some large blocks coule
be secured, but not enough to give con-
/. troll. The stockholders are the people
who must arrange for the sale of the
J road if it is sold as whole, and you
! can imagine what time any purchaser
stock with thousand different people
1T would not be difficult matter
t to dispose of the road if 1t ended al
Abba or Oskaloosa. The benefit to an.
of the trunk lines that would be ac.
), crued by its possession would lie in tn.
: fact that it would be a north and south
/, feeder. None of the trunk lines wan
! anything TO do with the Peoria branch
