A TEMPEST In A TEAPOT
Board of Mine Commissioners Stir
One UP at Des Moines.

Des Moines, April 26.-The Leader
prints an article this morning which
says that considerable of a tempest in
a teapot has been stirred up over the
action of the board of mine inspection
in discharging Miss Jennie Wharton,
its clerk, who was on salary of S45
per month, and appointing to the po-
sition Miss Maud Wilcox, of Mahaska
county, at salary of sos per month,
The article says further:
Last winter, it is recalled, the min
ers association adopted resolutions
condemping the board of mine inspec-
tors, and especially singing out Com
missioner Campbell, who was charged
with being controlled by the operat-
ors. The governor was asked not to
reappoint Campbell, and large dele
cation of miners called at the eXecu-
tive offices and entered personal pro-
test. James Z. Stout became candi-
date for the appointment. Campbell
had strong support among the mine
operators and secured the appointment
Mr.. Stout had been the friend of Miss
Wharton and secured her appointment
two years ago to the position of clerk
i'll the office. When Mr.. Campbell fl
nally defeated Stout for the appoint
ment he set about, SO it is charged, to
defeat Miss Wharton, for no especial
reason than thai Mr.. Stout had sup
ported her for the place. Miss Whar-
ton had presented to the legislative
committees her claim for an advance
of salary, and by her own representa-
tions and the influence of friends-the
entire capitol was with her in the mat
ter-had secured an increase of the sal
ary from $40 to sos. This made it a
desirable position, and the board inn
mediately informed Miss Wharton that
she would be superseded. Her friends
interceded with the board and We're
told that it might be arranged but for
the fact that B. c. Buxton, of Mucha-
KNOCK, manager of the Chicago &
Northwestern mines there, was de-
manding the place for a young lady of
that county. The board was not will
ing to displease Buxton and all other
endorsements We're of no avail. Then
Miss Wharton's friends appealed to
Governor Shaw who promised that the
matter should be settled in favor of
Miss Wharton; he assured them that
there need be no concern, as he would
arrange the matter satisfactorily and
induce the board to retain her. But
the members of the board say that he
told them to arrange the matter with
out offending Buxton. Mr.. Buxton
came to Des Moines and indicated that
he was bound to be offended unless
his candidate was appointed. Then
the friends of Miss Wharton made fl
nal appeal to the members of the
board. But it was of no avail. and the
board yesterday voted to displace Miss
Wharton on August L.

Explosion Near Corning.

Corning, April ga peculiar and
fatal accident occurred near Mount
Etna, this county, Saturday, particu-
lars of which have just been learned

it down the hole. The cartridge did
not explode in the usual time and at.
ter the lapse of thirty minutes Mr..
Ellis peered down the hole, at which
moment the explosion occurred. The
top of his head sfblown entirely off
and he died in few moments, prob.
ably without knowing what had hap.
pened. He was about 50 years old and
leaves a wife and two children in des-
titute circumstances.

INDIANS IN AN UGLY MOOD.
Leaders of Sioux Tribe Say They Will
Fight for Treaty Rights.

Fort Yates, N. d., April 26.-There is
great uneasiness and bitterness of feel
ing among the Sioux Indians here over
the policy of the Indian bureau. Sud-
denly and without explanation their
rations have ben cur in half and the
money from the sale of hides and the
annual interest money has not been
paid them.
They hold this to be directly in vio-
lation of the treaty and as the bureau
has not replied to the agents letters
OF inquiry, explanations to the Indians
is impossible. Letters are being re-
ceiyed by the Sioux here from the
Pine Ridge Sioux, urging that if peace
able means fail to secure treaty rights
there is nothing left but to fight for
them.
Agent Bingenheimer has seen some
of these infammatory letters.
