Died on Eve of Weddina.

Sioux City. Sept. 29.-On the very
eve of his wedding, Rasmus Johnson, "a
bridge foreman of the Illinois Central
railway, met drunkard's death alone
in his bachelors quarters. There his
sweetheart. Miss Annie Nordahl, found

sons long absence from her, the
young woman went to his rooms in a
business block Thursday night She
saw him lying on bed in his clothing
and at first thought him asleep. She
grasped his shoulder and shook him,
hut when the body remained motion
less she felt his head and face and the
truth flashed upon her, Johnson was
known as a hard worker and was we'll
liked by his employers: he has, how
ever. of late used liquor to excess and
his death was caused by his habits.

Miles TiIden Takes Fancy to Race
Horse, But His Scheme is Thwarted
John Berkes and A. B. Williams
have returned from Red Oak, bringing
with them Mr.. Berkes' mare, Dolly A.,
with record of 2:19A. Dolly made
a good showing at the Red Oak races,
winning two good ones in the mud, a
free-for-all and the 2:17 trot. Every
heat was made in less than 2::30, and
one as low as 2:21A. A ruTof is cur
rent, and has good substantial back
ing that the gentlemen did not go to
Red Oak for the sole purpose of see
ing the races, but that they were hunt
ing the horse. 1t is said that Miles
Tilden, who has been driving the mare
at different places in the state and
Missouri failed to appear at one of
the places he was scheduled to make,
and that Mr.. Berkes instituted an in
vestigation, which, it is said, result
ed in finding the man and, the horse
at Red Oak. Tilden willingly gave up
the mare and nothing is now known
as to his whereabouts.

Meetings in This State Will Eclipse
All Previous Records.

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-Altho Governor
Roosevelt makes but three stops in
Iowa, he will have audiences of nearly
$4,000 people as he passes thru the
state next Friday, October 5. The
Waterloo and Davenport meetings will
be the largest, altho Cedar Rapids will
give him by no means a small audi
ence. A big circus tent has been Sc
cured for the Waterloo meeting and
this will be used in case the weather
is bad. 1t will seat nearly 10000 peo-
pie. The arrangements for the meet
ing at Davenport will also include a
big tent. Railways are making spe.
cially low rates for all these meetings.
some of them less than half cent a
mile, and heavily loaded special trains
will be run on all lines reaching all
these points, some of them going more
than ESQ miles to see and hear the
rough rider.

MAY ADVANCE MILL WORK PRICE
State Association in Session at Des
Moines,

Moines.
Des Moines, Oct. lone of the most
important meetings of mill men held
In Iowa in several years convened In
Des Moines today. 1t will continue
thru the day and may not adjourn un-
til Tuesday evening. A well formed
plan to tack a 15 per cent increase on
the price of all materials for interior
house furnishings is said to be the
prime purpose for which the meeting
has been called. Carr, Rider & Ad-
ans, of Des Moines, are one of the
firms most interested in the move.
They have their headquarters in Du-
buque, the Des Moines house being a
branch.
''The prices for all interior building
materials are bound to go up, and that
very soon," said one of the members
or the state association Saturday.
There will be no difficulty in agreeing
on scale of increase. The rise is a
part of the increase in prices, in wages
and in the prosperity of the people.
We will have a good attendance at
this meeting, and will transact highly
important business"

WOULD REVIVE BASEBALL.
ottumwa Included In the Proposed
New LEAGUE,


Burlington, Oct. 1.-After a sea-
sons rest the baseball fever is liable
to again become epidemic in Burling.
ton, and the fans are beginning to
talk-now when there is no further
chance for a game.
1t is extremely doubtful if the West.
ern league can be organized again for
the coming season, as both Des
Moines and Sioux City are at outs
with the association. The redoubt-
able Tim" Hickey, the man who caus.
ed so much trouble in the Western
Association when he was president
is also instrumental in making the
present rumpus, and these two cities
have no love for their president.
A Burlington fan, one who in the
past has been at the head of the local
league team, is getting back some OF
his enthusiasm, tho not enough to al.
low his name to be used in connec.
tion with plan he has for the organi.
zation of an Illinois-Iowa league
These are the cities he suggests for
the proposed league:
South-Peoria, Bloomington, Quincy,
Burlington and Ottumwa.
North-Cedar Rapids, Davenport,
Dubuque and Rockford.
Either Bloomington or Quincy
could be dropped and we would have
nice compact eight-club league, with
none of the towns over seVenty-five
miles apart. The fan further states
that all these town permit baseball on
Sunday and thinks also that a salary
limit of $500 would be about right.
Next year Burlington will be about
ripe for another experiment and who
knows but that baseball will be re
vived again?

Offer of an Advance in Wages
Has No Effect On
Them.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Says Action Of the Men Justifies Faith
in Them-The Condition Remains
Unchanged notwithstanding Contra
ry Reports by Operators.

Hazleton, Oct. Notwithstanding
the notice posted by mine owners at
various collieries thruout the anthra-
cite coal region, few, If any, striking
miners went to work this morning, the
situation being practically unchanged
IN Lackawana, Wyoming Shenan-
doah and Shamokin districts. In the
Hazleton district, the only change is in
favor of the strikers. EARLY this
morning 400 strikers marched from
Freeland and this place to Pardee col
lleries at Lattimer, five miles from
here. The marchers visited the homes
of non-strikers quietly asking them to
refrain from continuing work. There
is no disorder of any kind. The strik-
ers claim they have succeeded in in
ducing 400 men to quit work, but coun-
ty officials say they did not lose that
large number. The only other coll
llery where any noticeable change
has occurred was at Pardee & Com
pany's at Cranberry, where some
'Loxie" engineers and driver boys
struck, thus further Gripping the
working. According to the special re-
port, the Reading Co. had but seven OF
tElrty-nine collieries operated by
that company working today. This is
five less than the number working Sat
urday. President Mitchell is very
much pleased over the situation. He
said the action of the men justified
faith in them and called attention to
the yerification of his prediction that
the posting of the offer of an advance
would have no effect on the strike, as
the men had other grievances that
must be adjusted.

death IN A WRECK.
Engineer Pete McAloon Killed Friday
Night Near Alton.

Creston, Sept 29.-(Special. )-In a
head end freight wreck at 12 o'clock
last night, one-half mile east of Alton,
Engineer Pete McAloon, of Ottumwa,
Fireman Lyman SprowI, of Creston,
and an unknown tramp were killed in
stantly. Brakeman D. w. Brockton, of
Ottumwa, had the little finger on his
left hand broken. Engineer Geo.
Hawker, of Creston, was bruised about
t. , shoulder.
The collision took place between
freight trains second 72 and a Murray
extra going west. The extra had no
orders against the east bound train
and the trains came together on a
sharp curve with terrific force.
Engineer McAloon supposed he had
a clear track and was going at a high
speed. He was buried under car of
wheat and smothered to death. He
is in no wise bruised. Engineer Nc
Aloon reversed his engine before
jumping. His remains were shipped
to Ottumwa on No. today. Fireman
Sprowl was caught between the engine
tender and tank. He was crushed to
death. The tramp is cut to pieces.
H was riding in the wheat car.
Fifteen head of cattle were killed
and many crippled. Two cars of corn,
one of wheat and three of stock were
demolished.
The monetary loss will approximate
$4,000. The blame for the accident has
not been placed. Some say the board
was not shown against second 72 un-
til half the train had passed the sta
tion, while others say it was thrown
and that Engineer McAloon failed to
observe it. 1t will require an investi-
cation to fix the responsibility.
Master Mechanic Torrey, of Ottum-
wa, is assisting in clearing up the
wreck. Traffic was delayed four
hours.
Peter McAloon.
Peter McAloon was born in County
Cavan, Ireland, November 81, 1851,
and came to America twenty-five years
ago. He lived in Pottsville, Pa, and
was employed on the Reading road for
twelve years, in the capacities of
brakeman, conductor, fireman and en-.
gineer. He removed from Pottsville
to this city in 1888, and Immediately
went to work for the Burlington as
an engineer. On November 20, 1884,
he was married to Miss Kate McClain,
at Pottsville, and to this union were
born seven children, all of whom, to.
gether with the wife and mother, sur.
vive him. The children are Kate, Bes.
sic. Mary, Margaret, Teresa, James
and Leander. They all reside at the
family residence. Thomas McAloon, OF
1917 Plum street, and Andy McAloon
of East Second street, are brothers OF
the deceased. Terry. McAloon, OF
Akron, Colo, is also brother. A no
tice of the funeral services will be
published later.

Roosevelt at Tecumseh.
BRYAN AT DULUTH.
Makes Sarcastic Remarks Concerning
President Mckinley.

Duluth, Oct. 1.-Mr. Bryan made the
first speech of the day from the YER
anda of the hotel in West Superior at
S O'Clock this morning. He spoke for
half an hour to large audience and
received close attention and frequent
applause. His speech dealt especially
with the trust question and he made
especial reference to the combination
of flour interests. He referred to the
speech made by Mckinley in 1894 in
which the president attacked the dem
ocratic party. After quoting from
the presidents speech Mr.. Bryan said:
Mckinley complains that the demo-
Gratis did not destroy the trusts when
they had an opportunity, and when
he complained you must believe he
was first in his complaint. You cannot
accuse him of being a hypocrite, and
yet Mckinley has been president for
three and half years. and during that
time more trusts have been organized
than in all the previous history of the
country and he has allowed three ses-
sions of congress to convene and ad-
journ and did not recommend specific
measure for the destruction of trusts.
And Mr.. Hanna who stands at the
head of the republican national com
mittee during this campaign and stood
at the head of the republican national
committee in 1896 declared the other
day that there We're no trusts. "Now
if you believe Mckinley honest when
he condemned democrats for not des-
troying trusts how can you explain his
policy in doing the same thing. He
selected the attorney general of New
Jersey where most of the trusts have
their homes and that attorney gener-
al draws salary for not interfering
with trusts. The attorney general of
the state of Nebraska, who is demo
crat, elected on the fusion ticket has
brought more suits in the state of Ne
braska against the trusts than the re-
publican attorney general of the Unit
ed States has brought against the
trust in the United States"
At Duluth Mr.. Bryan spoke in the
armory out of which all the seats had
been taken in order to accommodate
as many people as possible. In the
beginning of his speech Mr.. Bryan, said
he could hope to add nothing to the ar
guments which had been made here
by Charles Towne, who resides here.
IF he cannot warn you sufficiently
against the dangers that threaten
you," he said, you would not believe
them tho one rose from the dead"
Bryan then took UP the issues of the
day along the familiar lines of his pre-
vious speeches.

Health of the State

Des Moines. Oct. With the ap.
proach of cold weather comes the an
nouncement that smallpox is again
threatening to be prevalent in the
state. A number of cases have been
reported to the state board of health
within the past week, the last one
coming in yesterday from Webster
City Odebolt, Grand Mound and Me-

ottumwa Man in Fairfield Jail Said
to Be Unbalanced.


Friends of Louie Johnson, who is
confined in the Jefferson county Jail at
Fairfield, on the charge of disposing
of mortgaged property, say that Mr..
Johnson is mentally unbalanced. Mr..
Johnson has been indicted on the
above charge, but recently an Ottum-
wa man had occasion to visit the Fair
field jail. Mr. johnson expressed a
desire to talk to the Ottumwa man, and
from Mr.. Johnson's rambling conver-
sation it is said that it would indicate
that his mind is unbalanced. Friends
of Mr.. Johnson, in Ottumwa, say that
until recently his reputation has been
above reproach and that they now
think he is crazy, and will take steps
to look into his condition. Mr.. John
son was engaged in Ottumwa for sew
eral years in teaming.
