lICHTENED LABOR.

Ills hard lfc's duties to perform.
When we are tired and wish to dream.
But love will tighten labor SO,
And make it sweetest pleasure seem
1t keeps our thoughts above the toll.
On comforts which our work will add.
And sends such thoughts of sweet de-
light
When we without them might be sad,
And think our lot was pretty hard,
And worry with Tia" constant care.
But oh. how love will light"n toll,
And all the heavy burdens share,
Till work seems joy. to make all nice
For dear ones that W" love 50 well;
How well we feel repaid FOR IT.,
When they their appreciation tell.

WOMAN PARpoNEp.
Convicted Of Killing a Missouri State
Senator in 1895,

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 7.-Gover-
nor Stephens has accorded a pardon to
Maud Lewis, whose proper name In
Laura Lucas, who on May 13, 1896
shot and killed State Senator Peter r..
Morrissey, at her house on Wash
street, st. Louis.
The killing will ever form an inter-
esting chapter in the criminal history
Of st. Louis. The absence of any APP
parent motive for the crime, except a
slight lovers quarrel, and the fact that
both were intoxicated; the peculiar
mental characteristics Of the woman,
which reduced her to an almost maud
lin condition by the time she went to
trial, and above all, the devotion
shown by the porter in her establish
ment, who finally went to the length
of confession" the crime himself, in
Aopes of shielding her, followed by the
discovery that he was the woman's
husband, all combined with the we'll
known personality of Morrissey and
the woman's connections to make the
case a celebrated one.

something equally as good, for the
present incumbents will not be dis

WILL NOT RUN THRU CEMETERY.
Agency Council Repealed Ordinance
Selling Part of GRAVEYARD,

The G. B. C @. railroad company
will not run their trains thru the Gem
etery at Agency as was at first pro-
posed. The city council at that place
has repealed the ordinance which it
recently passed, selling to the railroad
company what ground that was neces-
sary to permit the company building
its new line, thru the center of the
city cemetery. Thus it would seem
that the town council and the railroad
company have practically yielded the
point, and submitted to the demands
made in the injunction proceedings
which were recently begun in this
city, by several Agency parties to pre-.
vent the railroad from using the
ground for railroad tracks. This state
of facts does not seem to leave any
thing for the court to try in the case.
1t is understood today that the COM
pany has purchased strip of land ly-
ing between the cemetery and the city
and will construct their new line upon
this ground, and while it is not as de-
sirable as that which contains the
cemetery, it is said the line will be
satisfactory to the company.

HE WAS EXAMINED HERE.
creston Man With Broken Collar
Bone, Besieged by Lawyers.

Some weeks ago certain travel
ing man, whose name is not to be Civ
en- out just at this time, fell on side
walk in Creston, with the result that
his collar bone was broken. He did
not know the bone was broken, or that
anything more than a severe shaking
up had been the result Of his fall, I'M
It'll he reached this city. He was ex-
amined here by an X-ray specialist
when it was found that the bone had
been fractured. When this announce
ment was made il Creston, it set the
lawyers tumbling over each other, so
lit seems, to get him to sue the city.
A Creston paper, in speaking of the
matter, says:
For some years the courts of Union
county have been burdened with dam
age cases brought by persons who
claimed to have received personal in
juries because of defective sidewalks
or bridges. Taxpayers have no doubt
been at loss to understand how this
particular city and county should be
so burdened while other localities had
but few if any cases of this character.
But the secret is out and at least a
partial cause can be given, Judging
from the story of a well known and
reliable travelling man who comes to
Creston frequently"
The paper here refers to the above
accident, the X-ray examination, ETC.,
and continues as follows:
"In some way, it seems, Creston
lawyers, or some of them at least,
learned of the accident and they went
after cose. The gentleman received
five letters from as many Creston law
yers each one offering to bring suit
against the city for him and share the
profits. The gentleman has declined
all of the propositions saying he could
get along without an attempt to mulct
a city. These five Creston lawyers
must certainly want business badly to
reach out after such business suits
against the taxpayers Of their home
city"

rest and Imprisonment, if they could
find the persons responsible for their
arrest. 1t is claimed by Miss Adams
that she was virtually abducted by the
Omaha officers, who told her that il
she would go to Omaha and explain
certain things she would thereby Sc
cure her brother-in-law's release.
When she arrived there she was sub
jected to the "sweat-box" process by
Chief Donahue, and detained until late
at night under arrest,

SUES FOR $4,000.
Davenport Glucose Company Asked
to Pay for Mans Life.

Davenport, Jan. 5.-Twenty thou
sand dollars is asked from the Gu
cose Sugar Refining company because
James Coleman was killed in the boil
er explosion at the Davenport plant
on Thanksgiving night. Notice was
served on the defendant company by
Sheriff Macarthur and the suit was
filed in the district court yesterday.
The plaintiff is Title Coleman, widow
of the victim of the accident and adj
ministratr-X of his estate. Suits for
like sums are said to be in course of
preparation, which means the COM
pany will be asked to pay something
like $4,000 for the lives of the four
men that died as the result of the ac-
cident.

Trouble Not Imaginary.

The trouble is not an imaginary one,
but extremely real. The miners are
fixed in the opinion that they have a.
grievance, and the operators are
equally insistent that they will not
yield the point. 1t was first minated
that the miners might ask for a.
change in the pitch Of screens SO that
more coal could run over them to be
paid for at scale rates. Now influen-i
tial leaders of the Mine Workers un-'
ion favor a straight demand for a
mine run scale of 60 cents or better
for all coal mined, but from the pres
ent disposition of the operators the.
demand will be met by determined
fight. At present the scale varies
from 80 cents to 81 ton for screened
coal and the operators make no pay
ment for coal going thru the screens.
Is "Mine Run" Clause.
There is a mine run" clause In the
agreement by which the operators
may, when the trade demands it, work
mine runs ana shall pay 60 cents ton
for this class OF mining. The chang
ing from screen to mine run basis is
optional with the operators, however.
The operators say that If the miners
attempt to enforce their demands they
will have to stand strike, and reli-
able information indicates that the
miners are willing to do so if necess
sary.
Miners Organized.
The Iowa miners are now thoroly orr
gained all over the state and init
mate that they will not waste several
months in reaching an agreement
with the operators as they did last
year. They will deliver their ulti-
matum at the start and If their de-
mands are not acceded to will adj
journ and a strike will probably re-
suit Immediately.
