strange coincidence too, that MIR.
Ingall should proceed Mr. Seeberger
few days to his reward, -he having
served the city as mayor from 1862 to
1868, and was Immediately followed
in Office by Mr.. Seeberger, who was
elected in 1868. BoGh gentlemen
were prominent in the early history
of the town, and both went forth
equipped with experience aud start
in life that led to large success in
other places. r.lr 4z.t ~
Mr.. Seeberger came to Oskaloosa
in the early fifties, before the era OF
railroads, and, opened up the first ex-
elusive hardware store in Iowa, In
those days Oskaloosa was about the
only town on the map west of the
Mississippi river and was the great
distributing point for supplies to the
villages in the frontier. 1t was also
the stopping station of several stage
lines, and the winding paths of the
ponderous OK caravans allied to Oska.

ambition Mr.. Seeberger cast his for

his business. But soon the ambitious
young man outgrew the town and he
cast about for larger opportunities.

Though those early emigrants who
came west to find, new homes, and
settled in Oskaloosa, were in the
main God fearing and noble citizens,
yet it is not strange that with the,
great influx of population, vein OF
adventure and careless abandon ex-
erted itself. This floating element in
a spirit of enjoyment, rather than
injury often out numbered the con-
conservative element and committed
the town to queer acts and gave it a
reputation that reached the Atlantic
Coast 1t was one of their pranks that
was played on Mr. ingalls, and came
near defeating him in the election for
mayor. The adventurous ele me . put

that Nancy had one more vote than

ebration in town that evening, or in
the more modern terms there was "a
hot time in the old town" But when
the official count of the ballots was
made it was fonnd that Mr., ingalls,
had won out by small majority and
he was sworn in by the city council.
1t is needless to add that Mr.. Ingalls,

THE GREAT STRIKE.

What bears promise of being the
greatest labor war in the history of
American industries, was inaugurated
Monday morning, when $4,000 en-
ployes failed to report at the three
greatest steel manufactures in the
country, the American Steel Co., the
American Steel Hoop Co., and the
American Tin Plate Co. Their failure
to go to work was due to an order
issued Saturday night, by President
Shafer of the Amalgamated Steel
Workers of America. This OF itself
would not constitute the greatest
strike, but the beginning only has
been made. The employees of every
steel plant in the country are ex-
pected to join in the war, and with
them the unions in many other lines
of industry. The question at issue is
not one of wages or 1t might be
settled more readily. Like the historic
HON sstead strike it involves the

BRYAN AND THE FILEPINos

BRYAN AND THE FILEPTN0S.
Sioux City journal: Mr.. Bryan
has confirmed the story that during
the late presidential campaign he
was approached by representative of
Aguinaldo with an offer to donate
500, 900 to the democratic campaign
fund and to agree, on the part of
Aguinaldo, to surrender uncondition-
ally in the event of Bryan's election.
The story, as originally told, credited
Mr.. Bryan with refusing to meet the
emissaries of the Filipino leader and
using the offices of a friend to send
the ambassadors back home with a
fat refusal to consider their pro-
position.
If the story had been allowed to
rest there, there might have been
room for the presumption that for
once Mr.. Bryan had been animated
by motives of pure patriotism-that
he had no desire to enter into any
sort of friendly negotiations with the
armed enemies of his country. 1t
has remained for Mr.. Bryan himself
to knock the props from under this
assumption. In confirming the ac-
curacy of the story as first printed
Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying: rs.
81 was prompted to refuse to meet
them, so that my opponents could
not have the opportunity to miscon-
strue or nisrepresent the objects of
such a conference. Iwould not COM
slider the proposition which they
were anxious to make in person for
the reason that l considered it my
duty to act as did. ~.
The latter remark would sound
we'll enough by itself, but coupled
with the former one it discloses the
real reason why Mr.. Bryan did not
care TO enter into an alliance with
the Filiplnos. The motive was not a
patriotic one. 1t was because Mr..
Bryan feared that such an alliance
would be constructor misconstrued, +,
as he puts it-in such way as to in
iure his prospects for success in the
campaign for the presidency in which
he was then engaged. Accordingly
the duty which prompted Mr., Bryan
to engage in the proposed partner
ship with his country's enemy was
to himself, and not to his country.
Isn't that quite characteristic Of
Mr.. Bryan, as we have come to know
him? And is it not equally charac-
teristic of the Lincoln man that he
should open his mouth and talk away
the presumption of patriotic action
npon his part, left by the first telling
of the Filipino alliance proposal?

insisted Darius, but after jumping off
the barn and smashing his machine,
breaking twenty one bones and losing
enough flesh to start a sausage factory
he swore that no mortal man would
ever see a coptraption that would sail
through the air. Darius did not make
this declaration immediately-it was

came very near winning prize of
100, 900 francs. Dumont came down
all right and he brought his machine

where he agreed to, hence he lost his

The shirtwaist was in court at La
Crosse, Wis, last week, and it won
the victory. One of the parties to a
suit noticed that Registrar of Pro-
bate Costley, who tips the beam at
$50 pounds, was neatly attired in a
shirtwaist, and objected to the con-
rinuance of the case until the regis
trar was dressed in clothes more be-
coming an officer of the court. Judge
Brindley held that the weather was
sufficient excuse for the shirtwaist
and ordered the trial to proceed.
This is said TO be,the first decision as
to the legality of the shirtwaist.

would have TO return to the postofice
with uudeliyered mail It did not
wholly remedy the matter to appoint
more carriers, as the amount of mail
to be delivered varied greatly on diff
ferent days of the week; upon some
days less than eight hours would be
required; upon, other days 9 to IL
hours would be necessary. To rem
e ly this and save the public from
detention of mail, congress enacted
an amendment providing for a total
of As hours in week, but making
the apportionment per diem flexible;
as, carrier who found it necessary
to work, say, nine hours one day,
would work only seven hours some
other day of the same week, thus
making total of 4s hours per week,
as previously. f -sa rrf
The Dubuque carriers, according
to the Times of that city, do not like
the new order abolishing the flexible
forty-eight hour schedule, and the
Times says, ,a.
1.-TWO or three years ago, how
ever, it was changed to the forty
eight hours week. But it was
found that carriers would file
claims for overtime and the de-
partment had to pay them. Hence
the new order. The greed of some
of the carriers is responsible for it
and the carriers must blame! some
of their own men. The position is
good one; much sought after;
good salary; prompt pay; protect
ed by the civil service law; short
hours; a vacation with pay; plenty
of help, and, generally speaking,
the envy of all. Few men have as
good positions, aud still less, ones
that are better. The department
has side to its story as well as
the carriers"
The Burlington Hawkeye, replying
to the Times, thus defends the car
riers and argues for restoration OF
the flexible time. "E'-
'The Times is In error. The 4s
hour schedule was engrafted upon
the postofice appropriation act Of
1900 and went into effect on July 4
Of that year Il is not now susA
pended because of the greed Of
the carriers or because of claims p
for overtime, but because the law
officers of the: department find
that the amendment, unfortunate
ly, expires in its efficacy with the
year for which the appropriation
was made, This result is an over
sight upon the part Of the trainers
of the act and ought to be reme-
died next winter by a restoration
OF the 4S hour schedule as q perma- D
nent feature of the service" $751;
The Importance of the ruling to
the general public justifies the space
given to the discussion. The eflexible
feature of the As hour law ought to
be restored, and all patrons of the
postoffice enjoying free delivery are
interested in having it done.

SPOILLNG THE CHILD.

Washington Press: SIS it not
strange that man will tug, and
sweat, and lie awake nights, schem-
ing and work his fingers off, for a
score or two or three score years,
to make and lay up money for his
children! Observation would assure
him that 1t is a thing of evil to chill
dren as rule. A too much helped
child rarely amounts to anything. 1t
is the pride to do for ones self, the
habit OF self-reliance, that makes
strong men and women. A rich mans
boys know they will be provided for;
they need not work; ambition does
not awake in them; they grow up
idle, and drift through temptations
into dissipation and vices, and it is
but small per cent of such children
who ever make their mark. .s.,
Look at the self-made men; who
began poor, barefoot and ragged, had
hard knocks; they are the factors in
the business world, everywhere.
They know the value of the dollar,
as they still feel the backaches re-
quired to make it; their habits are
good, as bad habits would have
baked their career; their credit is as
good; their word is as good as their
bond. ~.., ... .-... e..
1t is wholesome that boys and girls
come up this way. But once men
succeed, they fall into a sort of self
pity as they recall their own "priva-
tions" and "hardships," and say,
"our children shall not fare over that
tough road" So they shield and
pampeE and over-oru runder-educate
their brain, let them lie soft and
warm, and in 80 yer cent of the cases
they harm, il they do not utterly spoil
them. ''r
When grown up, these children are
nowhere the equals of their parents,
in force, in strength of character, in
good habits, in ability to do and to
dare and to suffer and take hard
blows.
Yet there's no use in preaching.
Folks will always do that way. They
love their children, and-spoil them.
Hundreds do not treat their young
near as wisely, and justly too, as do
the animals and birds, who make
their young shift for themselves y
