WEARY OF POLITICS. SURPRISED IN CAMP.
Senator Plat, of New York, Tires
of the Turmoil.

New York, June Ex-senator Thorn
as c. Platt will not accept reelec-
ton to his seat in the United States
senate as representative of New
York when his term expires on March
4, 1903. If it were possible, Senator
Platt would relinquish the senator
ship to-day. Because of physical in
firmities and domestic bereavement
he wishes to retire. This statement
comes from the lips of Senator Platt
himself. When the announcement
was made it caused great astonish-
ment, coming so soon after Presi-
dent Mckinley had made his declara-
ton that he would refuse a third
term.
Senator Platt was in the corridor
of the Fifth Avenue hotel for a short
time Saturday night, having returned
from Buffalo, where he visited the
Pan-American exposition. He talked
for few minutes on general topics,
and when spoken to about the pleas
ant duties of the United States sena-
torship, said: II don't like it. Just
as soon as my term is up I'm going to
retire. I shall not go back to the
United States senate again" 1t was
not denied by friends of the senator
that he is in feeble health. He has
suffered through the recent death of
his wife, and those who have watched
him closely of late are of opinion that
he feels he is unequal to the task of
carrying the burden of politics any
longer.
1t is expected that there will be
scramble for the position which SEN
ator Pfatt has announced his inten-
ton to vacate. Vice President Roose-
welt, it was said, would probably be
one of the aspirants, as it is believed
he would be willing to vacate his po-
sition for the more important place,
as the senatorship from this state
is considered.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Lincoln Stout Dies On Duty At
The Paving Brick Yards.

Lincoln Stout, young man twenty
years and three months of age, died
very suddenly at the brick yards of
the Oskaloosa Paving Brick Com
pany, Saturday June 10Th, shortly
before noon. The young man was
working in the clay pit and death
was evidently upon the instant. He
fell where he had been standing and
his face fell into pool of water.
Death however could not have been
the result of suffocation as the boy
was missed Immediately by com
panions working in the pit and was
picked up. When picked up the
young man was quite dead.
Young Stout was employed at the
yards in hauling the clay from the
pit where it is dug to the hosting
incline. He was faithful worker
and had been in the employ of the
company off and on for the past two
years. He was subject to epilepsy
and it is likely that he was sliced
suddenly.in one of these spells and
fell dead. Doctor Clark was called
to examine the case and took very
little water from the lungs. This
would indicate that the deceased
died almost Immediately upon fall
ing.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from theI. Christian church at 1880
o'clock.and was quite largely attend
ed. The paving brick works closed
down as mark of respect to the
deceased. Interment was made in
Forest Cemetery.
The.deceased was the son of Mary
e. Stout and leaves mother seven
sisters and two brothers. The
mother resided northeast of the
city. .....
The young man was well liked by
all who had knew him. He was
faithful and careful in all of his work.
The bereaved family has the SYM
pathy of many friends.

UNCLE SAM IS FIRM.
Won't Join in Guaranteeing Enor'-
nous Bond Issue by China.

Washington, June 1.-THE news
dispatches from Picking convey to the
official mind here the belief that what
is known as the British-American plan
of settling the indemnity question is
making Roadway and that it will in
the end be adopted as the only FEAST
BILE scheme. The firm attitude of the
United States in declining to enter
into a joint guarantee of the enor-
nous bond issue is believed to have
had its effect in inclining the minis
tiers to accept the British-American
proposal. 1t is certain that any move
nent toward the settlement of this
indemnity question must result in
unanimity to be effective. Although
often mentioned, the details of the
British plan have not heretofore been
given, and they were learned Saturday
from an authoritative source to be as
follows:
The British Plan.
The Chinese government is to issue
bonds to each of the powers to the
amount of the indemnity due each.
! These bonds are to bear four per
cent. interest, with a clause providing
one-half per cent. for amortization.
Certain of the Chinese revenues, not
specifically designated in the PROPOSE
ton, are to be ear-marked for the
liquidation of the bonds. A commit
tee appointed by the foreign powers
Is to take charge of questions relating
to the revenues thus ear-marked, and
the committee is to arrange details by
which the revenues are to be applied
on the bonds. In case of default on
the bonds, the default is to be to the
committee and not to the several pow
ers.
The foregoing is in substance the en-
tire proposition, but later it was pro-
posed in addition that the period of
the bonds be 30 years, and that they
be issued in installments. In this form
the proposition stood up to within a
few days ago, but it is not known in
what particulars it may have been
modified by the ministers.
Powers Not Yet Agreed.
New York, June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Spe
cial Commissioner Rockhill has cabled
the state department that four of the
powers have not accepted 450,0O0,000
taels ($337 ,OOO,OQ0) as the lump to be
demanded of China. These powers are
Russia, Germany, France and Japan.
Diplomats accredited to this govern
ment insist that there is no necessity
for formal acceptance by the pow
ers of the limit of $50, 100000 taels.
They point out that each power pre-
scented its claim for damages, that
these were Jumped together and that
the aggregate was the limit of the
demand accepted by the Chinese en-
yoys. Consequently there is no ne
cessity for further discussion of this
point. Rejecting the views of their
governments, these gentlemen ex-
press doubt that the American pro-
posal for the reference of the indemni-
+g gaestioR to The Hague would be
adopted.

Boer Force Attacks Band of Aus

Near Welmansrust, % miles south of

from Gen. Beaston's column were sur
prised in camp at Steenkoolspruit by a SUI
perior force of Beers at 7:30 p. M June L.
The enemy crept up to within short range
and poured a deadly fire into the camp
killing two officers and l6 men, and wound
ing four officers and IS men, of whom rs
were slightly wounded. Only two officers
and 50 men escaped to Gen. Beaston's camp.
The remainder were taken prisoners and
released. Two pompOms were captured by
the enemy. Full details have not yet been
received"
Will Encourage the Beers.
London, June 1.-THE serious re-
verse which Lord Kitchener reports is
the first accident of the kind that has
happened to the Australian contin-
gent, and it is supposed to be due to
neglect of proper picketing. Although
it is offset by the defeat inflicted upon
DeWet, the loss of the guns is regard
ed as a serious matter which will en-
courage the Beers to continue the
struggle.

supervisors in their stand against the
company. The substance of the
judges decision is in effect
That the county board, acting
within the authority, and upon
satisfactory evidence by it taken and
considered, found sufficient facts tC
Justify it's determination, that the
proposition of those who are seeking
to have the bonds issued was not lin

refusal to issue the bonds. "In this
proceeding," the court adds, "such
action of the county board will not be
disturbed by the court"

AT ine Deer Park.

Sunday afternoon we accompanied
Dwight Huntington to his home north
of the city TO look over his park of
deer and other natural curioS. His
deer park is fenced with a woven wire
fence 81 feet in height. 1t embraces
three acres Of ground that is a
beautiful glade, with sufficient trees
in it for shade, an artificial pond of
water, ETC., to make the deer as
natural home as possible. The park
contains three pairs of deer. nine wild
geese and one pair of African geese
In another fenced inclosure near by
are some English Ring Necked and
Chinese pheaSantS-ha birds
but as wild as if they had never been
in captivity. Owing to improper care
the past year there are no young this
year from any of the fowls or animals,
but better care of them all is being
taken this season, and next year an
increase in all the fiocks and herd is
confidently expected. Besides their
value as pets there is good profit in
the possession of these rare birds and
animals when they are thriving. The
deer are worth $40 apiece or more,
while the wild geese, ducks and
pheasants are high priced birds and
just as prolific as tame ones when
properly cared for. A popularity
about the wild geese, Mr.. Huntington
tells us, is that when once mated they
are mated for life and no other sweet
heart or partner goes. They are good
homogeneous birds and are rewarded
for their virtuous life and constancy
by longevity approximating that Of
the elephant 100 years or more. Still
all these long years of life they are
nothing but silly geese. Despite the
mild appearance of the deer's eye they
are viciOuS-natured beast and even
the Does would kill a helpless child if
it should get in the enclosure
without protection, while the bucks
especially in the mating season, would
attack man most ferociously.

Telephone improvements.

Telephone users will please take
notice that the rapid increase of
phones has exhausted our capacity,
and it was necessary to put in new.
larger and stronger poles, to support
the main leads from the central Office
and this work is now being done All
wires are being transferred from the
old poles to new ones that have been
put in to support the increased
number of wires and necessarily
everybody's phones are disturbed
more or less. All we ask is patience
on the part of users until these changes
are made when the service will be
better than ever. A new switch
board will be installed at the central
office this month also, which will again
necessitate some disturbance to the
phones and we ask forbearance
until these improvements are made.
