Wants Car RENDERS.

From Tuesdays Daily. .... III
Steven Barnes, alderman from the
Sixth ward, and chairman OF the
claims committee, has inaugurated a
movement, which, in all probability,
will result in the adoption of an ordi-
nance compelling the street car com
pany to equip its cars with tenders for
the protection of life aud limb. The
subject of street car tenders is one
which has been agitated but very little
in this city, yet in many other muni-
CAPABILITIES the size Of. Dttnmwa !. and
larger, companies operating street cars
have supplied their cars with this de-
vice and it is said to be very successful
and satisfactory to all concerned.
Mr.. Barnes said today that he had
talked. to a number of Ottumwa's best
citizens in regard to the matter, and
that he found a very great per cent of
them heartily in favor of the project.
He has been Investigating the advisa-
bility Of this improvement for some
time and has visited cities where the
fender is used, for the purpose of in
qniring into the success of the inven-
ton. He said he received the strong
est endorsement of it, and the local
company will, in all probability, be
required to provide its cars with some
device OF this nature. At any rate the
matter will be brought up in the city
council at some meeting in the
near future, and the sentiment of the
aldermen will be ascertained at that
time.

JAMES Q. CROSS DEAD.


From Tuesdays Daily.
The death of James C. Cross. for
nearly twenty years resident of OF
tumwa, occurred at his late residence,
No. 292 North Mclean street, about
1880 last evening, at the age of 6s
years. Mr.. Cross had been in poor
health all winter and while he had
gradually grown worse it was no,
thought that the summons would come
SO soon.
james c. Gross was born in the state
of Indiana in 1882. While yet boy
he came to Iowa in 1s45 and lived in
Davis county. From there he went to
Lancaster, Mo-, where he was united in
marriage in December, 1864, to Miss
Louisa Thatcher. To this union there
We're born six children, two of whom
survive, Mary Thatcher and John
Cross, together with the wife.
The deceased was one of Ottumwa's
best citizens, and had many friends To
whom his death is sad blow.

Editor LOrlng's Letter.
ssDallas Center, Iowa, March 3, 1000.
Editor Daily Courier:
Dear Sir: good man dies
pleasant Renaissance of him and a
wreath of kindly liking laid upon the
turf that covers him, is often. accepta
bile to those who mourn his departure.
In the month, of November, 1856, i
was residing in the town of Farming
ton, Van Buren, county, an engineer of
what is now the Il. ID. railroad. One ey-
ening there drove up to the hotel door
a young man. He had a large clumsy
horse drawing one buggy with another
fastened behind. He stayed at the ho-
tel several days and l became quite
friendly with him. Finally he conclud-
ed 70 go on further west, and agreed
to keep him company. So Harvesting
the big stallion and drawing along the
two buggies we started towards OF
tumwa.
sThis young man had brought horse
and buggies from Jordan, New York.
The roads were fearfully muddy, rain
descended and floods, came. The horse
was unshod and if he fell down once
he fell hundred times on the slippery,
clayey hills, and we had to get out
every time, raise the beast up and
clean the mud out of The buckles of
the harness. As a matter of course we
were both sorry looking travellers. On
the afternoon of the second day we ar
rived in Ottumwa. Here we stayed three
or four days looking at the. mud and
water which We're then che principal
ingredients of Ottunwa. The town
was located on the river bank extend
ing but short distance back towards
the hills. There was only one hotel
of any style, and that was the Curlew
House. No doubt many of your ciri-
zens remember it. ! did not fancy the
place and concluded to go back to Far.
tmington, while my fellow traveller made
up his mind that he had struck his
Eldorado. So we parted, he remaining,
his sole capital that old stallion and
two very muddy buggies. =
II afterwards had frequent occasion
to visit Ottumwa and always called on
my friend of that trip. He was what
we in those days called a mighty good
fellow, and always reliable. We be-
came Intimate enough to call each 9th
er in those days, Bill and Jim, and he
treated me as one likes to be treated
by the man he likes and respects.
Your paper announces thesdeath of
William Daggett, and as he was my
fellow traveller i desire to lay sprig
of evergreen on his tomb, hoping that.
some time we may recognize each 9TH
er in the better land. The same issue.
also announces another death which
we regret, yet can scarcely. wonder
lshould have occurred from the age of
the person. AS my wife is a,sister, a.
niece or cousin of every Gebhardt
who ever lived in Ottumwa, and as l
have often been a guest of Mrs. Mar
tina Gebhardt when she lived in the
house where the PRESBYTERIAN church
now stands, you will readily UNDER
stand that the Courier contains much
lthat interests us.
'Yours very truly,
H., flames L. Loring."

able spot in the anatomy of trusts than

is no power on earth other than the
trade unions which Yields so potent

An exchange says that Of all the
strange things that confront scnsi-
BILE man in this world. it is certainly
the strangest to see what meanness is
displayed by some members towards
their organization. Not satisfied with
criticising in and out OF season every
move taken for tho welfare of all the
members by the officers of the organ
izations, they not only do not give any
moral support to. the measures adopt
cd, if they do not oppose them outright,
but they also seem to suffer a kind Of
tetanus OF the hands when it comes to
paying dues and assessments. And lit
tie they realize how hurtful such ac-
ton is, not only to themselves, but to
the organization in general.
The true organizations, above any
other, arc the ones that obtain the
maximum Of benefits for their men,
; the four or five dollars per year exact
| cd as dues Vouchsafes a return alto
| s;ether out Of proportion to the amount
! expended.
| 1t is the organization as such that
! has reduced your hours OF work and
| increased your pay; it is the organiza =
ton that has made it possible for you
10 meet pay day with equanimity and
not in fear and trembling lest the boss
dismiss you with the remark: INC
money this week, boys!"' 1t is the or.
ganization that gives your craft the
standing 1t has today. and makes you
and your fellow-workman a respected
element Of the community.
| OF course, it costs money to conduct
such an organization and you wouldn't
be asked to pay for anything if you
didn't have an organization. But
where would you be today without an
organization?
If you would like to have an answe,
to this question, go among the unor.
ganized toilers and study with open
eyes their deplorable condition-hardls
one remove from absolute slavery. See
how many hours they have to work
and what miserable pay they get-wher
their employers, Indifferent to thei,
mastery over them, pay them at all
and then ask them whether or not they
are willing to pay four or five dollars
a year to have their working time re-
duced to decent hours and their pa,
increased to a living wage. Ask them
