the union.
have before me copy of the agree
ment which we have been asked to
sign and in which there is no differ
ence made in the distance to be hauled.
Some mines are five and six miles from
Ottumwa and bad road to haul over.
The Star mine is less than one-half
mile from the city limits and level
road to haul over, but they say there
should be no difference in the price of
hauling and yet when teamsters have
been offered the scale to haul five miles
they have refused.
! am informed that at meeting of
the transfers union, at which the price
of ice hauling was agreed upon diff
ference was made between long and
a short haul. Why this difference?
Will some one explain.
that the difference is not altogether
with the teamsters, but that a combi-
nation has been agreed upon by GER
tain coal operators and dealers and
teamsters, either because of the dis
lance of their mines from town by
reason of which they have always paid
more to get their coal hauled and con-
sequently have had 10 sell for more or
as is the case With some nearer town
the quality is, SO poor they have had
to sell at a lower price that they take
this method of deceiyinr and mislead-
ing the public The statement has al
ready been made that, they were going
to run Mr.. Baum out of business; that
they had run the Burch Brothers out
and that they would run him out.
We ask in view of the above facts,
are the people of Ottumwa and the
Miners Union prepared to give their
moral support to carry out such nefa-
rious purposes? We condemn trusts
and say they should be controlled by
law but you are asked to give. your sup
port to 4 combination that would take
away from a man his right under the
constitution OF the United States to
work when and for whom he chooses
and at such wages as employer and
employee may agree upon.
You are asked to encourage combi-
nation that has For its object the forc--
ing up of the price OF a certain commod-
ity, a combination that has been de-
clared Illegal. You are asked to help
kill competition the only avenue of es-
cape from trusts and combinations.

to assist such move? We think not.

Tho judgment in tho cnse OF the
State Of Nevada Va. Joe Pete, tie In
dian who killed William Dangberg at
GaEdnerville last September, and who
was found guilty OF murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be
banged at Genoa on tho fourth day of
May 1900, has been certified by the
district court to Governor Sadler for
inspection as required by law tOgeth
or with transcript OF testimony in
the case. The Governor has gwen
the matter due consideration aud has
| already announced that under no cir
cumstances would he consent to com
mute the sentence To life imprison
mcnt, Notwithstanding the fact that
no has been petitioned by many
prominent citizens Of that place to do

There is no use Disgusting the fact
that the hanging of Joe Pete will
cause considerable dissai isfaction
among the Indians who reside aronnd
Gardncrville. They do not feel that
the compact which WIS entered into
by the parties who negotiated for his
surrender WIZ fairly carried ont. 1t
was agreed, Gs the News is informed.
that upon condition OF surrender to
the authorities, the Indian would be
granted u fair and impartial trial in
another county. Tho agreement was
not carried out as Joe Pete was tried
III Douglas county. Undoubtedly
the party making the agreement is
responsible to tho Indians for its mis-
carriage, lis he should have known
Tint he could not deliver the goods. IL
Is not within the power Of any midi
vidual to say that change Of venue
can be had outside oi the Judge.
Judge Mack was not party 10 the

To saloon and conycr-cl with the

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the lnflamma-

will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh

BIacksmlthlng Without Fire.

A blacksmith's shoD without forge
seems novelty, indeed, but there are
several in operation, declares the Chi
cago Inter-0cean. In these shops
there is applied patent horseshoe
made of a special steel which Is soft
enough to permit of being hammered
and shaped, as far as may be necessary
without heating. There are anvils here,
and hammers are used. so that these
time-honored accessories of the black.
smiths shoD still remain here, but
there is no fire. no bellows, with a
grimy, swarthy, stalwart blacksmith
swinging on the handle with one hand.
while he gently pokes the burning coal
in the forge with the other There is
no smoke here and no flying sparks.
nor is there a long familiar odor of the
buring hoof when the hot shoe is laid
up against it. These places are horse
shoeing parlors.
One of these horseshoeing shops oc-
CupleS d JOuS room I0dC was QeSlS0eu
for store in building that stands on
a corner The shop proper, occupying
the greater part of the space, opens on
the side street. The office, or recep-
tion room, of the horseshoeing parlor
at the front end of the store, occupies a
square of space of the width of the
building, and running back about 2C
| feet, where an office railing is placed
dividing the reception room from the
blacksmith shop.
On the floor of the office, or reception
room, there is a 5000 rug; there are
comfortable chairs about, for visitors
or for customers; there is a desk fol
the manager, and there are pottet
palms. And all this is separated from
the shop itself only by that office rail
ing across the inner end of this recep
tion room, beyond which one sees dowl
the length of the shop men busily en-
gagged shoeing horses in this black
smiths shop without a fire.

ITO Let" Signs.

New York City, the most beautiful
city in America. has one sad blot on
its street scenes in the ugly Ito let
signs that stand in front of every apart
ment house. These signs are annoying
to persons who are looking for beauty
or for homes. They repel the searcher
for flats and displease the man who
has already fixed his home in a build
ing Real estate managers of Harlem
are beginning to realize this, and it is
expected that reform will come swiftly.
The new plan is to have standard
size and shape of sign adopted by the
Landlords Association. A small sign,
artistically gotten up, will not disfig-
ure the entrances to the buildings and
will attract more attention than the
big crude board signs now used. The
proof of this is in actual practice,
where artistic signs are used. If all
signs are, of not over an agreed size, 1T
is argued, none will have the advant
age and the public and the tenants will
| be happy.
Some landlords excuse the cheap
signs by saying that they have vacan-
cies so seldom that 1t does not pay to
get up nice signs, but, no matter how
desirable building is, it will have a
vacancy once in a while. The many
neat signs that are appearing in Har-
lem are surprising residents, who Won
der that the city has tolerated the ugly
signs for so many years without pro-
test.
