Succeeds in Destroying One Large
Pottery Plant at Akron, Doth
err Efforts Thwarted.

Akron, o., March 3O.-Fanatics made
an attempt Thursday night to destroy
a number of the largest industries in
the east end of this city. The attempt
was successful at the plant of the
Diamond Pottery company, fire orig
mating from waste soaked in oil placed
in various parts of the building com
pletely destroying the building and all
contents. A well-dressed man was no.
ticed hanging around the place some
time before the fire started, After the
alarm was sounded he could not be
found. Earlier in the evening an at
tempt was made to dynamite the i'm
mense pottery of the Robinson-Mer-
rill company. Sticks of the explosive
were placed under several parts of the
main building, but the Waterman dis
covered them before the fuse had been
ignited. At other factories oil-soaked
waste was found in various sections of
the buildings. The police believe q
lunatic is doing the work.

SPRING STYLES.
What was to be Seen at the
Millinery Openings.

The millinery openings in the city
the past week brought to notice the
new styles that dame fashion has de-
creed shall be worn this spring.
There have been changes in shapes
and colors, in trimmings and flowers
and what not since the purchare of
the last hat or bonnet, and the an
nual millinery bill will soon be
abroad in the land.
There has been general brighten
ing in the fashionable colorings and
reds and pinks predominant in GER
tain directions. There are the golf
reds and the American beauties, the
geranium shades and the pastel tints.
Scotch effects with plaids in pro-
nounced shapes and colorings will be
quite the thing Then there are
walking hats and mushroom shapes
that will be much seen. There has
been departure from the more
sombre colorings and the all black
hat and while these will still be in
good form and be worn to some ex-
tent, gayer colors will predominant.
There is tendency toward larger
shapes pushed well forward and a
wealth of flowers and trimmings is
required. Flowers were never more
beautiful land more in imitation of
nature than at the present season.
Considerable attention is being
paid to childrens' millinery and there
is as much to be cared for in their
styles as in those for the older misses
and ladies'.
Prices remain about the same as
during last season. There have been
some advances and some reductions,
but the average is maintained at
about the same figure.

The following from the Denver Re-
publican will be of general interest
in this city where the young men
mentioned are we'll known.
Fred Swearingen, who lives at
No. 415 Second avenue, Oskaloosa,
Iowa, but is spending a few days in
Denver, and Joseph Sopher of No.
2125 Champa street, were attacked
and beaten last night on Market
street.
They say the policeman on the beat
saw the attack but when appealed to
for protection said that election was
so near that he couldn't afford to an
tagoDize the gentlemen who live on
Market street. Then Mr.. Swearingen
found a sergeant of police in front of
tamale stand on Larimer street.
The sergeant said that Market street
was no place for men from Iowa.
The young man then went to the
police surgeon to have his wounds
dressed. He insists that he is going
to get protection if he has to see the
governor himself.

EDDYVILLE MATTERS.
Happenings i'm the River Town as Re-
ported by the Tribune,

Papers of surrounding towns are
publishing a report that the body
found in the Des Moines river at
Eldon is that of Abe Lafferty of this
place. This is an error, although
daily trips are made down from here
to several miles below town no trace
as yet has been discovered of the
body.
AT meeting held last evening by
the K. of P, lodge, it was decided to
accept the proposition of Grant Cow
ley and build second story on his
new block for lodge purposes, While
the plans are not yet complete, it is
expected that when finished it will
be one of the finest lodge buildings
in southern Iowa. Its dimensions
will be 44xS0 feet.
N. B. Holloway has fitted up the
Boyd building on second street for
the central office of the new tels phone
exchange. The material for the sys-
tenn is arriving daily and Mr.. Halo
way hopes to have it in operation
within so days. The system will be
connected with the Home Telephone
Co.'S line of Oskaloosa and an indie
pendent line will be run to Cedar,
this will give connections to large
number of the farmers east of town
many of whom have engaged phones.
The enterprise is meeting with flatter-
ing success and will start out with
about go subscribers,

Terrible Roads.

Oskaloosa people who are now for
tunate in living on the paved streets
do not appreciate the terrible con-
dillon of the unpaved streets and
alleys and the country roads. 1t is
next to impossible to move material
and supplies to any part of the city
off the paved streets. 1t is almost an
impossibility to get fuel from any
place. Alleys and roads are practi-
cally bottomless and no progress Is
made toward better condition. The
rural mail deliveries are made with
the greatest difficulty and the de-
livery of mail is more or less delay
ed but the patrons are served as well
as can be done under the circum-
stances. There are many laborers
awaiting the turn of the weather as
there are countless jobs that cannot
be touched until there is a change.
Work is practically at a stand still
and the season is now several weeks
behind with prospects of couple of
weeks more of delaying bad weather.

A HORRIBLE DEED.
North Dakota Farmer, Apparently
Insane, Kills His Three Girls
and Himself.

Devils Lake, N. D., March 30.-Emil
Segerlin, a well-to-do farmer living
eight miles northeast of town, killed
his three children and stabbed him
self to death Friday at about one
o'clock. He went to the barn accom-
panied by his little daughter Della,
aged seven, and Lilly, aged five. As he
did not come to dinner his eldest
daughter, Esther, aged nine, was sent
to call him. 1t is thought that before
she reached the barn her father had
killed Della and Lilly, and Immediately
killed her. Esther was a strong girl
and evidently offered resistance, as she
was stabbed in several places and hor-
ribly mutilated. Both the other chill
dren were killed with a knife. Emil
Segerlin was sent to the insane asylum
about ten years ago, but was soon al
lowed to return home, apparently
fully recovered. He was hard work
ing man, well thought of and in ex-
cellent financial condition. There is
no doubt but that he was insane when
he committed the crime.

There is no other place in the state
that is making the same sort of brick
that are now being turned out in Os-
kaloosa, and in the near future we
will point with pride to handsome
structures in various parts of the
country and remark 1.-THE brick that
made Mahaska famous"
The brick yards will within a week
or ten days be running full capacity
and full time. There were twenty
five men and boys employed this week
at the works, and there will be fifty
in the near future.
Mr.. w. P. Hawkins, the secretary
of the company, states that the out
look for business during the coming
year is very promising. Tho manu-
facture of pressed brick puts the COM
pany in new field and upon broad
or business basis.
That there are great possibilities
open to this company there can be no
doubt. 1t is home company and
should be given every encourage
ment. 1t will build up our city and
make us greater in several ways.
And why not have the new public
building and the Mahaska county
jail built of the new pressed brick?
We could not have more slightly or
handsome material, and why not go
a step farther and have the new brick
used in the new government building
and it's floors laid with the Oskaloosa
thing.

FREMONT NEWS.
Items of Interest Cleaned From the
Breezy Gazette.

Committee on creamery have de-
cided to locate here. The shares are
worth s1O0 and are 80 of them making
the creamery cooperative. This en-
terprise can and should succeed.
Right management is all that is re-
quired. Creameries have failed but
the reason was always apparent.
They are being successfully run too,
and the reason for their success is
likewise apparent.
The new fire engine purchased by
the city council arrived Wednesday
morning. 1t is fine looking machine
and will doubtless give perfect salts
faction. 1t should be thoroughly
tested, however, before it is finally
received. We should feel proud of
this engine and should organize
company to make it most effective in
time of need. Fremont has suffered
some heavy losses by fire and each
citizen should feel that he has per-
sonal part in all things connected
with the towns welfare and progress.
A subscription is being circulated
for the purpose of opening road
commencing on the county line be-
tween Mahaska and Wapello counties
at the s. +. corner of section SO
in Mahaska county to the N. E. cor
ner of section % where it is proposed
to terminate the road. This road
would not only benefit many of the
property owners along the proposed
road but it would also make it more
convenient for great number to
reach Fremont, this being of interest
and value to the entire town. This
road could and should have some
effect on the rural delivery mail
route which should be going out
from Fremont. 1t is to be hoped that
the subscription will be sufficient to
secure the road. 1t will cost but $3.50

BAD RUNAWAY.
Several Alliance People In
jured Near Aususta--Were
Thrown From q Surrey.

Alliance, Aug. 23.-A very bad run
away occurred Wednesday afternoon
two miles north of Augusta. In which
several Alliance people were injured.
1t appears that Mrs. John Sem and
son. Floyd, together with Mrs. w. M.
Roach. daughter Myrtle, and son Paul,
had hired horse and with a surrey
drove to Augusta several days ago for
a visit. They were on their way back
to Alliance when the horse frightened
at some object along the roadside as
they were going down hill. 1t i'm
mediately began kicking and started
to run. With great presence of mind
Mrs. Sem. who was driving, turned
the horse into fence and as result
the buggy was turned over, smashing
the top off ana throwing the occu-
pants heavily to the ground. The
horse thus freed of its burden kept on
running, but was caught two miles
farther on. The injured persons were
taken to a farm house where 1t WAS
discovered that all were more or less
bruised, except little Paul Roach, who
was uninjured. Floyd Senn's right arm
was broken at the wrist. They were
then driven back to Augusta. where j
doctor was called and he dressed their
injuries.
John Sem went to Augusta and re-
turned Thursday. He states that the
injured ones are all feeling fairly well
after their exciting experience.

Intends to Fight.
More Men Have Gone
to Work in One of the
Pittsburg Plants.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2i.-This morn
ing it was stated that President Shat
fer will submit to any fair proposition
but the overtures must come from the
steel trust. The basis of settlement
proposed is the old basis, the scale sign
ed for mills that were union last year
and a compromise scale on other mills.
The Amalgamated is to be given mills
only where the workers have voluntar-
lily shown a desire to become union. A
possible settlement may finally be
made on this basis.
The local strike situation is reported
unchanged at all strike points, except
at Star Tin Plate plant where seven
additional men are working.
Canal Dover, O., Aug. 24.-The ma
chine shop which was turned into a
boarding house at the sheet mills here
yesterday has been provisioned with
groceries, meat and bread for several
hundred men. A colored cook and a
white man are domiciled within the
building. The offices of the company
were lighted up last night for the first
time in many weeks. The striking
men have doubled their guards and
watch the movement of every train and
street car. The men are peaceable, but
greatly excited and watching every
move Of the trust.
No attempt has yet been made to
start the plant but John Warner, gen.
eral manager of the American Sheet
Steel company, said that it is only a
matter of time before number of
mills will be put in operation. Warner
and District Manager e. e. Cline are re-
sponsible for the statement that over
IS men from Canal Dover and vicinity
applied for positions to-day and were
taken in.
