pYEDiN.THE.WooL REPUBLICAN.
z. c. Edgar Never Voted Anything


But the Republican Ticket.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. Edgar, who re-
Side on o farm pear Lacona, in War
zen county, are visiting their daughter,
Hrs. Maria Allison, of All Lincoln ave.
nue., In this city. Mr.. Edgar is one of
the pioneers Of this part of the coun-
try. He came here In 1889 from the
east and with his father settled on a
farm in what is now Ottumwa. He
lived for several years in this vicinity,
and recently removed to Warren coun-
ty, where he now resides.
Mr.. Edgar has voted the republican
ticket ever since there was a republi-
dan party, and before that time he was
q staunch whig. Last Tuesday, altho
visiting in this city, he made a trip to
his home in order to vote for four years
more Of the Mckinley and Lacey adj
ministration, not, as he explained, thru
any fear that the republican ticket
would not be elected but for the pur-
pose of having some of the glory of
the victory. e
Mr.. Edgar has been a constant read
or of the Courier since the first issue
was published, and says he could not
be without it. Thru its columns, he
says, he keeps in touch with all his OF
tumwa friends, and would feel as If he
had lost them if he failed to get the
Courier. He is in his seventy-eighth
year, but is still more hearty than ma
ny younger men. Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
will probably visit in Ottumwa for a
few weeks more before returning to
Their home. u

sTockBUYER HURT.
Reuben Beaman, of cIearfieid, Injured
Here Saturday.

From Mondays Daily.
Ottumwa was, Saturday night, the
scene OF serious accident, as re-
suit of which Reuben Beaman, prom
inent and well-to-do stock buyer re-
siding at Clearfield, Taylor county, lost
his left foot and part of the leg. He is
now in the Ottumwa hospital, where
he was taken Immediately after the &C.
cident, and altho doing we'll, will be
confined there for q fortnight or more
before he can return to his home.
The injured man, together with his
brother, was enroute to Chicago with
six cars of stock. The train on which
they We're travelling arrived in Ottum-
. va at 10: As. In the Ottumwa yards,
Just before the train had stopped,
Mr.. Beaman, who was riding in the
6 Xay-car, went to the front door and
attempted to get off the car while 1t
was in motion. On account of the
darkness he could not tell just how far
be was from the ground, nor the ma.
ts1re Of the locality where he intended
q get OFF the car. Accordingly after
stepping of the car, he did not re.
feNAe bis hold on the handles, and his
body Nes swung around by the motion
pf the car so that his left foot got in
front of the wheel. The foot and ankle
we're mashed to pulp, and amputa.
a0h was necessary.
Mr.. Beamal was conveyed by the pc.
Yes TO the Oatumwa hospital and DR..
O. WpHS1tS was summoned. He
Gmpqtated the lower part of the leg
" tpink about halfway between the
4hkle and knee. The patient today is
Stting alnng well and his speedy re.
Gpyery 10 assured.
The injured man is a healthy, robust
4nah, and well-to-do stock buyer. He
a member of the Grand Army OF the
Rapubie, and was a comrade OF Major
q. P. Spilman, of this city, at the bat
lie OF Lookout Mountain.

Ottumwa Parties Assume Contro
of Foster Mines.
HENRY PHILLIPS OWNERS AGENT.
Mines Viii Be Materially Enlarged
Business Will Be Transacted at OF
tumWa-PhiIlips Fuel Company In
y terests, the Owners.
From Mondays Daily.

A business transaction was con.
sumated In Abba recently and actual
work began today, whereby this mag
nifcent coal belt of Iowa the center of
which is Ottumwa, will have another
big mine, the business of which will
be transacted in this city. Henry
Phillips, of the Phillips Fuel
company, owner of several mines, has
assumed actual control of them ines
at Foster, formerly owned by the
Deep Vein Coal company, and will
more than double the number of men
employed there.
The interests Of the Phillips Fuel
company have for some time held the
bonds of the Deep Vein Coal company
and foreclosure proceedings were
commenced recently at Abba and a
petition made for receiver to take
charge of the business. Finally the
matter was compromised by turning
over the mines to Henry Phillips, as
/. agent for the bondholders, and he
will carry on the business for the pres
Rnt. The store at Foster has not yet
been turned over to Mr.. Phillips, but
Il probably will be in a few days.
Mr. Phillips has great confidence in
/; the possibilities Of the mines at Eos
tcl dAu fUSllGVSS IldC IH0y can De
Made very paying investment. Hith-
erto the output has not been very
large and the profit has been cores
pondingly small. Mr.. Phillips pro-
poses, however, to put several more
men at work and work the mines to
, Eheir full capacity. At present there
pre- about fifty men employed in the
mines but the present management
Intends to work about twice as many
. more as soon as they can be procur-
ID. Foster which is on the line of the
Milwaukee and in Monroe county's
richest coal territory has always been
recognized as very capable coal land,
but this is the first time the mines
have been worked to their full capac-
It's.
Frank Reed, formerly of Reed
Bros, who operated a mine near OF
tumwa two years ago, took charge of
the Foster mines this morning as pit
boss, and will superintend the work
ing of the plant. The general bust
ness Of the Foster mines will be tran
sacted for the present at least, thru
the Ottumwa offices of the Phillips
Fuel company.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-M;nister Con
ger has been advised by the State Depart-
ment Of the substance OF the replies made
by this Government last Friday TO the
Governments of Germany, Russia, anl
China respecting China, which clearly
lt.tl.cate 10 hin, the general nature OF the
instructions he is to receive. Narrower,
Uy this time ne is Informed cf the order
.sSus{i 10 General Chatfce to reduce his
force 10 a legation guard.
The ntte 10 China specifically pointed
cut the lines cn whielr the Government
wi. issue its Instructions tc rs minister
The docl meut itself Is IN course OF flnai
approval, acting See:otary Hill having
completed the draft some dayS a5o and
foi lydcd it TO TIE President.
1t was the belief of ine state Department
late This evening that The aetual trans
MISSION Of the instructions would he car
rietl out very socn, probably within the
next twelve hours. Ii is said t3at the
text OF lie Instructions VIII not be given
publicity a present for diplomatic reasons,
bu; there is no conceain,ent Of the gen.
era scope Of the document, which IS on
the l:.es lad down in the 1hree notes.
MAY HAVE GOOD EFFECT
In this connection, it IS said at the stats
Department. ,ilat Mr. CCnger viii rut these
negotiations III motion without any pl.i,
pose OF acting Tor any government either
than the United States. although the Cox
ernnent steadily keeps in mimi that the
United States is but one Of the several
nations mutually interested in Obtaining
a common end. ard it is hoped that the
effect of Mr. Conger's making a beginning
toward negotiations may, be to induce other
Powers - follow. At the same time the
Government has never assumed 10 lay
down any mandate as TO the course TO be
followed by a!lfor any OF the other Powers
1t is believed that the State Department
already has taken steps through Minister
WI TO impress upon the Ch.neSe=. tiSlp- tisSs
sernnent the undesirability of the appoint
Inent of Prince Tuan as grand secretary,
and the painful impression this appoint
ment has created throughout this coun-
try. The effect of his appointment if
persisted in. it. is sail, might be to retard
seriously the final negotiations, or, in fact.
any negotiations at all.
NOTE FROM Ii.
The Government feels that it is much re-
inforced in its present position by tie note
from Lii Hung Chang. in which he gave
positive assurance TO the United States
that he had sufficient authority TO protect
all American interests and would see that
Ills authority was exercised The Gov
ernmenr now looks upon this assurance
rs a guarantee which must be faithfully
performed. rs a condition precedent to even
the gestabli ishment OF rela tiors with Ii and
Prince Ching.
If the appointment of Tuan promises in
any manner to obstruct the performance
Of this pledge then it would be clearly vio-
latLve of the guarantee laid down and
