Communication From a K eb nIine

=
Editor Courier:-I see quite a piece
in the Courier of date. December 20,
about the Keb mine, some of whichjis
not true and which I think you ought
to know about. In the first place, 1T
says that the Whitebreast Fuel Com
pany paid off its men. Now do not
think that is true, as they still hold
some OF my money and will do SO until
next Saturday. In the second place
you are afraid we will be paid for
something which we have no right to
be paid for. You say that coal weighed
IN the pit car is paid for at the rate of
fifty cents per ton and contains slate,
jack, ets., which cannot be sold and
entails system of docking the men in
whose car it is contained. The other
way the coal is passed over screen
and enters the car after having elm
mated the rock, etc. and is paid for at
the rate of seventy-iiye cents per ton.
While reading the above wondered If
the people who read the Courier
would think that ali the rock, slate and
jack would go through the screens. If
you do would not like to buy the nut
coal or slack which there is such de-
mand for at the present time. Rock,
slate, jack, ETC., will not go through
the screen and is thrown off the rail-
road car after it has passed over the
screen. The miner sending ii up has
the weight of his car locked to the
amount of the weight of the jack,
slate, etc., the same as he would were
it weighed in the pit car. We do not
wish them to remove the railroad
scales but we do want the operators to
weigh our coal on smaller scales, some
thing less than forty-foot scale, say
one, three or four feet.

Az operator,. sta temen,.

Editor Courier: In a late issue of
your paper appeared a. statement sign
ed by the teamsters' union of Ottum-
wa, in which are some statements
which, to say the least, are misleading,
and some which appear to us as abso-
lutely false.
The article in question purports to
be fair statement Of the difficulty be-
tween the teamsters and the Star and
Spring Hill mines.
Also, circular has been circulated,
signed by the Federation of Labor, in
which the people are asked to give
their moral support to the transfers.
And the statement is made that all the
dealers and operators except the Star
and Spring Hill mines have signed the
agreement to pay the scale of wages
fixed by the Transfers union.
It would appear as though the diff
Guilty was with the transfers of the
Star and Spring Hill mines, but such
is not the case. There is no difficulty
with them. They are willing to haul
atsthe prices agreed upon by them and
the operators Of said mines. The facts
in the case are thai Of six mines on the

total EoLIpsE OF SUN.
Scheduled for May %, 1900, Visible 10
Large POrtirn of America.

: Star-gazers and others interested in
things astronomical, will be interested
in knowing that on May rs, 1900, a to-
tai eclipse of the sun is scheduled to
take place, visible TO alarge portion of
America. OF course it will not be alto
gether agreeable to people of the north
to learn that it will be necessary to
take a trip southin order to get good
view Of the strange phenomenon; but
even that is a decided improvement ov-
er the usual way. In the official an
nouncements which at the beginning
of new year tell us what the sun and
the moon propose to do during the
coming twelve months, a foot note is
usually appended to the effect that in
order to see those wonderful happen-
ings in the sky it will be necessary to
take trip either to northern Siberia
or else climb the mountains of the
moon. Such announcement is prone to
engender feelings of disgust and to
give ones suddenly developed thirst for
astronomical research decided chill.
The path of the eclipse of the sun
for next May is said to be situated most
conveniently for the east gulf and the
south Atlantic states. MeNicans on
the Pacific coast little south of lower
California may see the eclipse at sun
rise. The path of totality, about fifty
miles wide. crosses Mexico and the
northwestern part of the gulf, enters
the United States little north of the
Mississippi delta, runs nearly parallel
with our south Atlantic coast line and
energies at Norfolk. The total phase
OF the 1900 eclipse will last in the Unit
ed States for one minute and thirteen
seconds, only.
Its to be hoped that observers may
be given a cloudless sky and every OPP
portunity to make the most of their
rare privilege.

honored at two ottumwa BUSH
few weeks, bpt it was not learned
until yesterday that they We're not
genuine. The police are shadowing a
young man who lives in this city, said
TO be connected with, the committing
o. the crime with the chances very
good for his detection and conviction.
The orders We're passed by a woman
who now disclaims any intention of
wrong doing in the matter and says
bill.
1t was learned yesterday that the Or
dsrs had been passed some time ago,
ore at the Famous shoe store, amounts
ing to $3.50 and the other at the Bos-
ton store for 81. The amount of the
orders We're charged to the persons
whose names were signed to them and
everything went well until yesterday
when those persons, while paying. their
accounts, learned that they amounted to
slightly more than they anticipated.
The items We're shown and when that
was found relating to the order itsge
uineness was questioned. This led to.
an investigation and within thirty min
utes the woman who had passed them
had been found. 1t was said at the
store that the woman's name is Nellie
Miller, and that she claimed the orders
were given to her by a man named Gull
len, who she said boarded at the Bal
lingall hotel and was travelling man.
One order was on the Famous shoe
store signed by James Cullen aud the
other on Phillips g. Scase, signed by
John X. Sullivan, the former for $3.50
and the latter for 81. Mr.. Phillips did
not question the genuineness of the or
ders, as he knew the parties whose
names were signed to them We're per-.
fectly good for the amounts and gave
his permission for her to receive the
goods in exchange for the order.
Inquiries were made on West Main
street for Nellie Miller and at last a
woman residing at No. 413 West Main
street, was found. She gave the name
of Linda Miller and readily acknowl-
edged that she had passed the orders
but said she was not guilty of any
wrong doing. When asked as to the
identity of the person who gave her
the orders, said: SIT was about the
time that Ottumwa held the street fair.
that I received the orders from young
man who said his name was Ed. some
body, do not remember his last
namel, in payment of a bill he owed
me. I took the orders down to the
Famous shoe store and receiYedsin eN-
change a pair of shoes. I took the 9th
er TO the Boston store and bought a
dress with it,. That is all there is to it,
except that when I catch that Ed.
whoever he is, / am going after him
with the poker" and if her perform
ance is on par with the determined
look that settled on her countenance,
Ed. will get hurt.
