SECRETARY Root has earned the
gratitude of some and the ill-will of
others by ordering the official spelling
to be porto Rico" There Is to be no
more of "Puerto Rico" in public re
ports as there is no more necessity or
reason for it in the case of Porto Rico
than there would be in spelling Spain,
Espana; Italy, Italia, or Rome, Roma.
The funny thing about this is that
Porto Rico ia the Spanish fashion of

To persistent young woman

"'Suppose my son should come to
me and say, MY dear father, 1 am
thinking of marrying a Creole woman

ply to him, my SOD, you are an ass"
But If he had married a Creole widow

KILLED IN THE MINES.
Robert Evans, Of keb, Receives Fatal
Injuries From Falling Slate.

From Mondays Daily.
The second death caused by falling
slate in the Keb mines during the past
month occurred Saturday afternoon.
The victim of the accident was Robert
Evans, young miner who had only
recently come to Keb from Montana.
Mr.. Evans received the injury about 9
O'Clock in the morning, but he lin
gered until 1:30 in the afternoon, when
he died.
Mr.. Evans was working alone in his
room" in the mine when the accide~t
occurred. His room was supposed to
be in good condition, but the occur
renee was the result of one of the acct
dents that may happen at any time in
coal mine. A large piece of slate,
weighing about ton and forming part
of the roof of the room in which Mr..
Evans was working, became loosened
and fell, carrying the miner with it.
One end of the slate fell upon a piece
of coal and was kept about eight inch
es from the floor, which fact saved Mr..
Evans from instant death. The space
was not sufficiently large, however, to
prevent injury. Mr.. Evans was only
slightly bruised externally, but receiv-
ed internal injuries which later caused
his death.
Several of the miners who were
working near the scene of the accident
heard the slate fall and hurried to the
unfortunate mans assistance. He
was taken out from under the slate in
an unconscious condition, but revived
in a few minutes, and was perfectly
rational. He was taken to the resi-
dence of Joseph Rees. where he had
made his home during his residence in
Keb. DR.. Hull was summoned, and
everything possible was done for the
injured mans comfort. He gradually
grew weaker, however, until death
came.
The coroner's inquest was held at
Keb, Sunday morning, conducted by
DR.. G. C. Powell, the jury being COM
posed of James Galley, Fred Rees and
Alfred Stanier, all of Keb. After hear
ing the testimony of the witnesses a
verdict of accidental death was rem
dered, and all parties were exonerated
| from blame.
| Mr.. Evans was an unmarried man,
80 years of age. He had.no relatives
| in Keb, and it is said he came to that
| place from Montana. He was honest
and Industrious. and had many friends
| in the community. He was member
of the Knights of Pythias at Abba and
also OF the United Mine workers at
Keb. The latter organization took
/ charge of the remains, and the funeral
was conducted today under their aus.
pices, from the Rees residence, at |
o'clock this afternoon. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Evan, of Keb
after which the remains were inferred
in the Ottumwa cemetery The Unit.
ed Mine Workers, of Keb. attended the
! funeral in body.

TOOK FORMAL LEAVING.
Farewell Sermon to Congregation by
DR.. r. w. Hinitt.

From MONDAY Daily.
At the regular services of the First
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
at IL o'clock, DR.. F. w. Hinitt, the re-
turing pastor who was recently ap-
pointed to the presidency of Parsons
college Fairfield took formal leaving of
his congregation. The nature of the
services had been previously announc-
ed, and consequently there was an I'M
usually large congregation present.
DR.. Hinitt spoke from the text found
in the second chapter of the second
verse of First Corinthians, the text
from which he preached his first SER
mon in Ottumwa, five years ago. The
pastor was greatly affected turnout his
discourse, and the sorrow felt by him
was no less on the part ofevery lndl-
vidual present.
Altho DR.. Hinitt has already moved
to his new home atFairtield, he will
continue to preach here until the va
cancy caused by his resignation has
been supplied, which will probably be
some time during the present month

Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Bonnifield have
returned from nine weeks sojourn
in the West, during which time they
visited Spokane, Seattle, Portland
San Francisco, Carson and Salt Lake
City, including an extended stay at
the latter place.
Mr.. Bonnifield says that the West
is the scene of the greatest business
activity, and that there is an air OF
prosperity fully apparent to, and ap,
preciated by all. The prevailing opin-
ion in the West is that Mckinley will
CARRY Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia, and there are a great many
who believe that Colorado will be in.
Guided in the list.
Out there, Mr.. Bonnifield said that
by many Bryan is considered in the
light of an accomplished lunatic, and
a majority of the people who go to
hear him talk go out of curiosity.
There is considerable stir IN poll
tics in the West at present. McKin
