VIM. E. Curtis writes from Wash

Secreta-y of State Wilson'S visit to
the Jewish agricultural school at
Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The OBJ
ject of the school is to teach Jews to
farm. 1.-The institution" said Secre-
tary Wilson, sis supported by contri-
buttons from Jewish families in var
ious parts of the country, from thirty
three different states. | notice in the
gifts of $50 each from Nelson Morris
and Mandel Bros, of Chicago, and
from ID. Rothschilds, of Davenport,
and Sam Baldauf, of Oskaloosa, of
my own state. l want to commend
this institution and the valuable work
it promises to do not only for the
Hebrew race, but for the country at
large. 1t is already further along
than some of our state agricultural
colleges, and in few years hope to
see similar schools established by the
Jews in other sections of the ountry.
This is the best way to abolish the

PAYMENT OF MINERS
Senator Blanchard's Amend
ment Passes the Senate.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-The senate
on Tuesday amended Senator Porter's
bill relating to the payment of wages
to miners and passed it. 1t now pro.
vides that operators shall pay their
wages semi-monthly, but shall not
retain to exceed two weeks wages
Senator Porter's bill provided that
operators should not retain to exceed
three weeks wages. The committee
on mines and mining reported favor
ably on the bill. When it was brought
before the senate, Senator Blanchard
said that as he construed the law and
as he supposed it was construed ev.
erywhere it now provides that wages
shall be paid semi-monthly. He be-
lieved that the proposed law would
simply permit operators to retain
wages for three weeks, whereas they
now retain them lawfully for but two
weeks. Senator Porter said that the
practice in the state is for operators
to pay semi-monthly the wages
which were due four to six weeks
prior to pay day. Senator Lewis
said that the law plainly. intended
that operators must pay the wages
due semi-monthly, for the penalty
section provides that on failure of
the operator to SO pay, the miner
may recover the wages then due in
addition to the penalty. Senator
Porter said he would accede to an
amendment making the retention of
wages cover them for two weeks in
stead of three, if the opposition was
satisfied that the present law con-
templates the payment of wages to
date on pay days. Senator BIan-
chard moved the amendment as sug-
gested. Senators Smith and Garst
pointed out that it would make the
law homogeneous. The present law
requires semi-monthly payments of
wages. The proposed amendment
would require operators to retain not
to exceed two weeks pay. Two
weeks is less than half a month so
that the provisions would conflict.
The amendment carried. The bill
then passed, five voting against on
account of the incongruity.

TAKES A HIGH PLACE INQUEST CONCLUDED
Coroner's Inquest in the Case of
T R. Long, Deceased.

The coroner's jury completed their
inquiry Monday as to the manner
and means of the death of T. r. Long,
deceased, late of the Iowa Central
engineers force.
Coroner Eugene Cheesman was
compelled to go to Fremont and could
not be present at the time on the in
quest and he deputized Squire Hines
ley to cfficiate in his place. The jury
met for the taking of additional evil
dence at the supervisors room at $3.50
O'Clock p. M, and F. B. McCagg,
telegraph operator at New Sharon,
q. G. Halferty, agent and operator at
Sully and Jerry Lynch an Iowa Gen.
trail engineer were examined for the
first time. Ernest Nehring and Edgar
Farnsworth were recalled for further
testimony.
The fact was developed by the
testimony that the engine east bound
in charge of Long was reported out
of Sully at 3:45 p. m. and also out of
Taintor at the same time. There was
discrepancy of Is minutes in the
time of the agent of Sully and the
regular time of the road. It was
stated that there was no regular
method ofreceiving time on the New
ton branch.
Jerry Lynch stated that he knew of
no agreement made bet \ cen Long
and Cooney in his presence.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows:
The said jurors upon their oaths do
say, we do find that said deceased,
T. R. Long, came to his death by a
collision between engine No. %, east
bound and engine No. 26, west bound,
each running under work orders, on
the Newton branch of the Iowa Gen.
trail railway, on the afternoon of Jan.
sth, on sharp curve about two miles
west of New Sharon.
That the collision was caused by
negligence:
On the part of Engineer Tom Cooney
for failing to use his flag man, and
exercise other precautions, in pro-
tecting against possible accident, as
he and other witnesses state in evil
dence, is expected and prescribed
by the rules governing trains having
work orders.
AS to Engineer T. r. Longs part in
the responsibility for the disaster, we
do not know, there being no salts
factory evidence to convince this
jury whether there was, or was not,
an understanding between him and
Engineer Cooney as to where they
should pass, or if so, what such
agreement was, or which engineer
was violating such agreement, if ex-
listing.
Negligence on the part of Agent q.
G. Rafferty, at Sully, for having the
incorrect time of day, it appearing in
evidence that his time was IS minutes
fast.
Negligence on the part of the prop
er employee, or employees, of the
Railroad Company, whomsoever they
may be, for failing to enforce rigidly
on the Newton branch, the usual
custom of railroads to give their
agents and operators the correct time
daily.

OBITUARY
Miss Sipa Durham was born in
Poweshiek county, Iowa, February
81, 1880; died at the home of her
father in Monroe township, Mahaska
county, Iowa, October 3, 1899, aged
10 years, months and 1 days.
We bow again in sorrow, for our Sina
now is gone
To be with Jesus in that bright and
eternal home.
We are lonely here without her and
she is missed in our home,
And God sees and understands it, so
he took her to her home.
Sina she has left us to make her home
with Jesus,
But she has only gone before us in
the same road we must tread.
The Father gave and he has taken our
loving daughter home with Him,
For we know that she is now in heav-
en-, away from sorrow and from
sin.
But we do not wish her with us, but
why alone have we been left?
God alone can give the answer, for
He does all for the best.
Father, mother, brothers and sisters,
do not grievefor Sina dear,
For she is now at home with Jesus in
that world so bright and fair.
Do not mourn because have left you,
for you, too must come this way,
And l am only waiting and watching
for that bright and happy day.
Now our treasure is safe in heaven,
where no thieves break in to
steal,
And our earthly ties are broken, yet
we are united still.
And when you cross that river and
with me again you stand,
You will sing, UNITED ever, united,
now one glorious band"

and upward in the way,

OBITUARY.
Concerning a former we'll known
resident of Oskaloosa, the st. Paul
Pioneer Press of January says:
MRS. Sarah Hartzell Gadd, wife of
Col. E. T. Gadd, died yesterday at

Gadd, five sons and a daughter,-W.
H., Leslie A. and George T., of st.

America, and Alice Gadd Harmon,
wife of Rev. A. D. Harmon, pastor of
the First Christian church of st. Paul.

mains will eventually be taken to
Davenport, Iowa. Mrs. Gadd was
born in Warren, Ohio, September IA,
1886. She was married in Davenport
October 10, 1866. Her father, Jonas

result of the debate. Mrs. Gadd
was an earnest church worker and
did much toward the upbuilding of
Cottner university of Lincoln, Nebr.,
of which Col. Gadd was one of the
founders.
