SURVEY PROGRESSING.
Surveyors for New Road at Work
Fifteen Miles South of Victor.

r. l., Kelly who is engineering
the survey for the new railroad
which will be built between Flor
ence and Cripple Greek was APP
preached this morning in regard
to the new line. Mr.. Kelly says
that the work of securing the route
is rapidly progressing and condi-
tions points to first class perma-
nent survey and that up to this
time but little difficult or heavy
work has been encountered.
A corps of fifteen men are work
ing and they have now reached a
distance of between twelve and
fifteen miles south of Victor, or
have finished about one-t third of
the survey. The workmen are
well equipped and have the best
instruments that can be secured to
prosecute the work
He figures that it will take
about two and one half mouths
longer for the completion of the
field work after which there will
be about months office work in
compiling notes, getting out re
ports and attending TO other i'm
portant matters including the com
pleting of estimates. the location
and drawing maps
He thinks the right of-way can
be secured from the government
as soon as the survey is completed
but the rights-of. way from in
dividual land owners may not be
secured until the road is under
construction.

Before these prices were adopt

were the same as those adopted
here last night
The bids for feeding prisoners
We're then considered and the con
tract was awarded to Uncle Viii
liam Brown, his bid being l25
cents per meal
1t WAS decided by the council
last night that such prisoners who
would not work be cut down in
quantity of iood, and those who
are willing to work to receive three
meals per day.
The council decided to instruct
the city marshal to strictly en-
force the ordinance relative to Of
tenders who ride bicycles on tue
sidewalk
Owing to Alderman Blunt being
absent from the city the committee
appointed to adjust the water diff
ficulties between the city and the
Dorcas Mining d Milling company

Sixteen Hundreds Machinists and

AFFECTS ALL BUT THREE. PLANTS

ternatlonaI Brotherhood of EIectr-
cal Workers Refuse to Work at Old
Scale Of Wages.

Washington, May 20.-A general
strike of employees in the machinery
and allied metal trades throughout
the country, to enforce nine-hour
day with an increase in wages to a
reduction in hours of labor took effect
today. Reports received by President
O'Connell, of the National Association
of Machinists, early today indicate
that large number of establishments
are making the necessary concessions.
O'Connell said it is too early to make
any estimate of The number of men
out but from reports received the
number of men who went out today
or had previously struck is given be-
low. No trouble is reported. Strik-
ers are orderly and quiet:
At New York 5000 are out; Boston,
1900; Cleveland, 1900; Detroit, $50;

The Machinists Anticipate No
Trouble in Ottumwa.
TO BE TREATED FAIRLY
Secretary of Local Organization
Speaks of the View Machinists of
This City Takes of the strke-ot.
tumwans Do Not Go Out.

The machinists' strike which is Gre
ating great deal of discussion
throughout the country just at pres
ent, and especially today, will have
but little or no effect on the craft in
Ottumwa. Although the Ottumwa ma
chinists are affiliated with the nation
al organization, or rather form part
of 1t, they are not to strike until it
becomes evident that unless they take
such action the machinists in the large
cities where the trouble centers will
lose what they are fighting for.
Andrew Love, secretary of the local
machinists' union stated this morning
to Courier reporter that the machin-
lists of this city expect no trouble
whatever, although they do expect to
get nine-hour day and an increase in
pay; or in other words, they expect
their time to be reduced to nine hours
while their remuneration remains at
the same amount. II do not anticipate
any trouble for u.s. said Mr.. Love.
There is little doubt that the Ottum-
wa firms will do as firms in other cit
les are doing-giving the machinists
what they ask. We do not believe
that the demands are unjust. Nine
hours per day is all that machinist
should be asked to work. The work
is hard and after a man has put in
nine hours at muscular and mental
exercise he is ready to stop work.
There are many, and the number is
growing larger as the demand for the
concession on the part of the manufac-
turers increases, who do not do the
work after the nine hours is finished,
as they should, and the manufacturers
really lose money by having them
work the tenth hour
The local machinists are working
today as usual, and expect no trouble
of any kind. They are willing to wait
until the time comes for their increase
in wages and believe that then will be
time enough to strike if there is any
need of it at all.

Runaway Floris Farmer is in
Jail at Bloomfield.
HE FACES TWO CHARGES
Wife in Her information Alleges Lar
ceny and Adultery Defendant
Takes His Arrest Very cooIIy =
Bond Fixed at $4,000.

Bloomfield. May 1s. Especially
Sheriff Frank G. Young arrived this
morning from Kansas with Alfred
Kendrick, a farmer residing near
Floris, who recently left for parts un-
known after selling his farm. His
adopted daughter also went with him
and is now at some point in South
Dakota.
Mr.. Kendrick is charged with lar
ceny ana with adultery. Both infor-
nations are sworn to by Mrs. Ken
drick, who it is charged, Mr.. Kendrick
deserted The larceny charge is
founded on the claim made by Mrs.
Kendrick that her husband sold their
farm in which she had an interest and
pocketed the proceeds. The adultery
charge is brought, presumably because
he and his adopted daughter left TO-
gether @
MIR. Kendrick is now in the Davis
county Jail at this place in default of
bonds in the sum of $4,000. A pre-
liminary examination was started this
morning but was continued until next
Thursday on motion of the defendant.
His attorney is D. H. Payne. The
state is represented by County Attor-
ney |. T. Dabney.
Mr.. Kendrick does not seem to care
much about his arrest and seemingly
takes the matter very easy.

Library Trustees Take I'm
portant Action.
TO USE BEDFORD STONE.
Contractor Bartlett on the Ground
Is Anxious to Begin Operations at
once-Work Will Be Done BY Local
Men.

The first steps toward the COM
mencement of work on the new libra
ry in this city We're taken today. Con-
tractor G. L. Bartlett, of the firm of
Bartlett and King, who have the con-
tract for the erection of the building,
in company with City Engineer Brady
and several members of the board of
library trustees went over the location
of the proposed building and staked
out the corners for the same, anG ar
ranged with Engineer Brady to give a
line for the building tomorrow morn
ing. Contractor Bartlett is very an
xious to begin operations and as soon
as the preliminary work is completed
he announced that active building ope-
rations will commence.
BY Home People.
Mr.. Bartlett made an announcement
today that will be greeted with much
favor by Ottumwans and that is the
fact that he will bring no one here for
any of the work or sub-contracts. He
announces that he will let all the work
to Ottumwa men.
Decide on Bedford Stone.
At meeting of the library trustees
which was held Saturday evening it
was decided that the stone to be used
for the first story would be Bedford
stone, and the same will be cut on the
ground. This will give Ottumwa men
another chance for employment. And
it will be quite an important item too
1t will require many carloads of stone
for the building and as it will all ar
rive in a rough condition, the employ
ment of an army of stone cutters will
mean many dollars extra for Ottumwa.
Anxious to Begin.
Mr.. Bartlett said as soon as he got
the locations from the city engineer
he would be ready to commence work,
and he is very anxious to begin at
once. He said every day gained now
would mean the completion of the bull
ding just that many days earlier, and
everyone is interested in the time
the building is to be completed.
