NEW HOUSES.
Things Being Done Toward Making
Greater Oskaloosa

Mrs. Duffin, who has recently
removed to this city from Grinnell,
has made arrangements to begin the
erection of her new house on the site
of the old Quaker church immedi-
ately. Contractor W. B. hadley will
have the work in charge. The house
will be large one and will cost in
the neighborhood of six thousand
dollars. 1t will contain sixteen
rooms and will be an apartment
house. 1t is to be strictly modern in
all particulars and will have all mod
ern conveniences on both first and
second floors. There will be south
front and west front with entrances
both ways. The plans are original
with the lady and have been detailed
by Mr.. Hadley.
The work of removing the old
brick church that now stands on the
lots will be commenced Immediately
and as soon thereafter as possible
the excavations for the basement will
be made and the building will be
pushed forward by as large force
of workmen as will be possible to
place on the work. The house will
be heated by hot water. 1t will be
one of the greatest improvements
that has been made in that part of
the city for number of years.
Another nice property is to be
erected by John P. Hiatt on his lot
next north of his new residence on
North Third street. 1t will be large
house with two full stories with all
of the modern conveniences and
strictly up to date in every way.
Henry Wetherell has the contract
for the building and Frank Wetherell
has made the plans and specifica.
tions. The new house will cost
about five thousand dollars and will
be one of the incest places on Third
Street.
A host of other buildings are in
embryo and the lumber men are
working night and day making fig
ures for applicants for lumber.

BUssEY FAMILY.
Two Hundred and sixty-six Years OF
History.

Bussey Press: For the past seven
years Jesse Bussey has been diligently
searching the records of not only the
United States but also of several
European countries endeavoring to
trace his lineage back as far as pos
sible, and he has been rewarded by
being able to go back as far as eleven
generations.
George Bussey came to Virginia in
1886 but shortly afterwards moved to
Maryland where he died in 1868.
This is the beginning of the family as
far as all records show. Endeavors
have been made to go still farther
back but the lapse of time has oblit-
Grated all traces, and it could not be
followed any farther. From him can
be traced the family record to the
present day.
From the data gathered during the
past seven years by Jesse Bussey
and Hon. Cyrus Bussey, of Washing
ton, d. O., chart has been made,
from which at glance can be traced
the lineage of any member of the
large family.
The chart was designed and drawn
by Miss Nellie M. Cole, of Oskaloosa,
a grand daughter of Jesse Bussey,
and shows the work of an artist. On
it are names of 293 members of the
different branches of the family,
Among them almost every vocation
aud calling in life is represented.
Some have been generals, lawyers,
statesmen, preachers, merchants and
farmers.
The records show that as many as
dozen of the family served in the
Revolutionary war, and held high
positions in the army, all the way
from the captain to general.
Jesse Bussey, or more commonly
known here as "Uncle JESSIE" the
father of our town was born in
Greene County, Penn, August /,
1920, and was member of family
of sixteen children. In November,
1913, he married Isabelle Jamison,
and in 1857 moved west with his
family and settled on the land which
now comprises the city of Bussey.
To this union was born eight chill
dren, and from them sprang twenty
six grand children and great grand
children,
In June of 1875 he laid out fifty acres
into town lots. 1t was just haying
time and the surveyors had to survey
around among the hay cocks on the
land on which the principal business
houses now stand. The first man to
buy lot in the new town was DR..
Morgan, who purchased the lots and
built the house which is now occupied
by E. l.. Bussey.
Siuce then the town has had a
steady, permanent growth until it has
the fondest hopes of its
founder. Although in his eighty
second year, "Uncle Jesse" is hale
hardy man, and conducts the grain
business of our city.

ANSWER TO GorT.
state Mine Ins pector Werner Calls At
tenlion TO Jonas Colts Letter.


Saturdays DAILY HERALD contain
ed letter from Jonas Gott, of Givin,
in which some criticism and fault was
found regarding letters and inter-
views before published in THE HER
AID. Mr.. Werner to-day takes the
matter of Mr.. Colts letter up and
answers it as follows:
OsKALoosA, Mch. 3, 1902.
Editors Herald: Mr.. Jonas Colt, of
Givin, wishes to know If 1 had ever
suggested any representatives. for ex-
plosions in Iowa mines. / refer the
gentleman to the state mine inspec-
tors report of 1898. and in it he will
find that in order toprevent as much
as possible the occurrence of explo-
sions, suggested the following:
1. That no dust be allowed to &C
cumulate along the entries, and that
the intake airways especially be kept
as free from it as possible.
2. That the roads be kept in damp
condition.
8. That the use of drilling dust for
tampjpg be strictly prohibited.
4. That either shot firers be en-
ployed, or that no miner be allowed
to fire unless the shot has been in
spected by competent person, and
his consent obtained to fire the same.
5. That no hole that has blown the
tamping be recharged and fred agGin.
6. That trials be made with fame
less and safe explosives and that they
be used in place of powder if found
effective.
invite Mr.. Colts attention to the
similarity of the above suggestions
and the recommendation made in the
recent report of the commission APP
pointed to investigate these explo-
sions.
When nine years ago l presented
such relief measures as appeared to
me necessary and adequate, and ask
ed that they be given due and earn
est consideration, not the slightest
attention was paid to them by either
operator or miner. They were ridi-
culed by the miners, (the files of the
Farmer and Miner" of 1898 will
prove this), and the operators cast
them aside because their adoption
meant more expense to them, yet l
say that if even two of these sug-
gestions, the one prohibiting firing
holes the second time and the one re-
lating to competent shot inspection,
had been accepted and followed, the
explosion at Lost Greek would not
have occurred. A far greater re-
sponsibility for the occurrence of that
awful calamity rests upon those men,
who treated my suggestions with
ridicule and prevented their consid-
GRAFTON, than upon the poor fellow
who, ignorant of existing dangerous
conditions, fred the fatal shot, which
any competent shot examiner would
have rejected.
Mr.. Colt is anxious to know why
1 ask for the cooperation of the
miner in the prevention of explosions.
Can any one doubt, after reading the
above, the correctness of my propo-
sition that the cooperation Of the
miner and the assistance of the oper-
ator are needed to eliminate these
explosions from our mines?

PRETENDER INVESTS FEZ
MOROCCO'S SULTAN SAID TO HAVE
TRIED TO LEAVE THE CITY.
His Capital Doomed Unless Friendly
Tribesmen Come to His Aid-Mis-
siOnaries in Peril.

MADRID, Dec. 3O.-A dispatch from Tan
gier. Morocco, to-day announces that the
rebels had cut the acqueduct which sup
piled Fee with water and added that the
city was now practically without water. 1t
was further asserted that unless the Kaby-
leh tribesmen from the south come to the
succor of Fee the place must surrender
within three days. Foreigners in the in
terror of Morocco have been advised to
make for the coast as provisions are scarce
and communications are almost closed. The
pretender himself is reported to be twenty
miles from Fez.
The hostility against the Sultan is spread
ing in Fez. The Moors arc exhibiting pho
toe of him arrayed In ridiculous garb. The
Sultan yesterday assembled the mobiles of
the besieged town at the palace and ex-
horted them not to despair, assuring the
chiefs that the imperial troops ultimately
Will triumph. II Is reported that the Sui
tan has been foiled in an attempt to break
out of Fee by the rebels who are investing
that city.
kilograms received here from Tangier
say the Sultan's troops have abandoned
the fortress of Raseme, close to Fee. The
pretender is negotiating with the tribes
in the immediate vicinity of Fee to assist
his advancement. The Spanish minister at
Tangier reports the situation to be serious,
but not desperate.
The Cabinet met in Madrid at late hour
Tonight. After the meeting Foreign Min
ister Abarzuza expressed a more hopeful
view of the Moroccan situation. He said
he thought 1T not likely that the rebels
would capture Fee. Premier SiIvela con-
frmed the belief that no complications
would ensue through the actions of other
powers.
