Sad Plight aud PItiful Story of Three

Oslaloosa, April 12.-There has re-
Gently come to light in little mining
camp but a short distance from this
city case of destitltion and helpless
ness that would move to pity the hacd-
est heart. There was once a happy
home with father working in the
mines and the mother caring for three
small schildren.s Troubl came, in which
the wife was accused, and the courts
granted a divorce, but gave the mother
the care of the children. She went with
them to Des A1oines and became a resi-
dent of White Chapel district, and it is
said that she lived in pitiable degrade
ton. The children We're taken from the
woman by the police officers of the city
and were sent back to the place of their
former residence For some reason The
father would not provide. for them.
There was no one who seemed willing
to care for the children and the case
came to the notice of the societies f,,r
the care of children. The representa-
tive of the society had formerly known
the mother, who was, a pretty, girl. On
investigation she found that the mother
had fallen into life of shame and was
in no way fitted to have the children,
and SO the little ones were taken to TIL,
home Of the society and will there be
cared for.

Eldora building collapses.

Eldora, April 12.-The two-story
store building recently occupied by.
Lindsay Bros, grocers, and owned by
j. II. Smith, collapsed at 1890 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. No one was i,l-
jured. Had the collapse occurred a
half hour sooner, no doubt many per-
sons would have been hurt and perhaps
some killed, as the sidewalks at that
time We're full of people on their way
to dinner. Two or three workmen
We're in the building at the time of tho
accident, and We're warned by the
sound of the creaking timbers in time
to make their escape. The, building
was being repaired by Mr.. Smith, a
new front being put in, floor raised,
etc. 1t is thought that the foundation
that held the walls up had been weak
ened, until they gave way under the
pressure from above. The building was
entirely ruined. The loss is about 81, q

Iowa Falls, April 12-E. S. Ellsworth,

secured $4,000 acres of timber land in

farms of 10000 acres each, which will
at once enter the market with their

recent rise in price of which commod-
tiles makes them valuable and very
marketable staple. Mr.. Ellsworth
early investments in northwestern
lands proved very profitable, and it. is
very evident that his faith in the uri-
developed regions of the south is sub
stantial one and backed by investments
that indicate his belief in the future
of that region when developed by
northern capital and push.

and grass seed. The acreage in spring
wheat in thao section will be lighter
than last year. In the central section
seeding was in progress the latter part
OF the past week, and is nearing COM
pletion in the western and central
counties. The soil in the eastern
counties was generally too wet for
much field work, tho rapidly drying
off. In the western half of the north

been made in seeding, but work in she
eastern half was delayed by excessive
moisture. But with favorable wealth

HERRIorr FILES PROTEST..
Second Statement OF Treasurer in Re.
gard to Executive Council.

G0EO 70 EXECUTIVE, Council.
Des Moines, April 12.-State Treas
urer John Herriott yesterday filed a
second statement, less voluminous but
more sweeping than the first protest,
IN which he not only reopens the at
tack on his colleagues of the executive
council, but gives in no gentle words
his opinion of the republican state
central committee and its methods.
he alleges that the committee has re-
sorted to doubtful practices in order
TO smother the revelations made in his
protest and to throw sand in the eyes
OF the republicans of Iowa.
Governor Shaw and Secretary Dob
son had little to say in regard to Mr..
Herriott's statement, but C. w. Phil
lips, secretary OF, the state central COM
mittee, talked freely of the position Of
the committee and its object in doing
the things told and strongly condemn,
ed by Mr.. Herriott. Mr.. Phillips
said:
The state officers were violently at
tackled in Mr.. Herriott's protest and
we as the committee organized to fur
ther the party interests merely incor-
porated the reply madeSby the govern
or, secretary and auditor of state,
together with editorial comment from
republican papers, in pamphlet form
and mailed it to papers thruout the
state with the suggestion that they
might care to use it. There is no ex-
cuse or no reply to make as it was the
only natural thing Tor us to do. When
Mr.. Herriott called me up to his office
and showed me the documents, asking

No Time for Education.

You labor for ten or twelve hours

educate yourselves? The greater num-
Der of you scarcely earn enough to
maintain yourselves and your fami-
lies; how can you FIND means to edu-
cate yourselves? The frequent inter
ruption and uncertain duration of your
work causes you to alternate excessive
labor with periods of idleness; how are
you to acquire habits of order, regular
ity and assiduity? 1t is, therefore,
needful that your material condition
should be improved in order that you
may morally progress. 1t is necessary
that you should labor less, SO that you
may consecrate some hours every day

] l had an interesting trip over here from St. Michaels, in the fact that we struck an immense ice foe, about 70 miles from the last named port. The | passengers began to make all kinds of speculations about being compelled to turn back, or lay to, until the ice had cleared away, but Captain Ellis soon put their fears to rout, and set some of them on the decks pretty hard when he headed for the first big cake of ice which seemed to block our passage, ! full speed, and ground 1t into bits. But the shock was pretty hard, and as great many women were below in their hunks, sick from slight tossing few hours before, there was general scrambling on deck of all hands. The good old ship, however, was built for just such work Floe after foe was knocked into smithereens or cut in two, and it was a grand sight to stand on the forward deck, lean over the rail and watch her run up onto cake, split It ln two and throw one piece to star board and the other to port, and gen erally drenching somebody with salt spray. The ice finally got so heavy that her engines had to be slowed down, and once or twice she was turned to port or starboard to avoid a berg that the good ship had no business to mon- key with. This lasted about four hours, when the wind changed off shore and the ice all went to sea. The weather was fine coming over, but rough enough to make some ot the pas sengers change their minds about meal time. was extremely lucky, at least l considered myself so, in not having to give up all the good spuds and cab bage that l had gorged myself with

 The town lies just at and below the mouth of Snake river, and about four miles down the coast the Nome river comes ont into Behring sea. Above Snake comes Perry river, then comes Cripple river, all staked from one end to the other. Back of the beach lies the so-called tundra, sort ot moss- covered muck and decayed vegetation. No hole has ever been sunk in the tundra consequently nothing is known of its value, although it is all staked for miles.
 l am going up or down the coast to prospect just as soon as l can either buy or build boat.
 There Is nothing to be made or found in this vicinity and one must hunt for new diggings, and 1t is impossible to do anything without boat, unless one has pack animals, and they cost money. There are hundreds of the finest kind of teams here engaged in hauling mer. chandise from the beach to the busi. ness houses.
