ton restraining the striking shopmen

ter P. H. Morrissey, Of the Brotherhood

the following official statement relative
to the movement to be inaugurated on
western roads by conductors to obtain
higher wages:
"The different stories that are arising
pertaining to the movement on the part
OF coniacsor; AL 'n''7erf n e
western country, for a raise of wages
are In the main inaccurate and mis-
leading. They probably grow out OF the
fact that an association of the general
committees Of the Order OF Railway
Conductors and Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, for this territory, was
formed at Kansas City in June, at
which time the question of an increase
of pay for men in the train and yard
service was discussed. II Is the general
belief among the men in these capaci-
ties that on account OF the vastly
changed conditions now as compared
with those in existence at the time the
present wage standards were made they
are entitled to some additional compen-
sation, and they are now considering
the propriety Of asking for 1t. But II
ANYTHING is done thru these organiza-
tions in this direction 1t will be along
an orderly line and in accordance with
the long established policies ana laws
OF the bodies affected.

fire that destroyed the town of Palmer,
near Briday Veil. two boys named
Hamilton were caught while trying to
escape from the flames and burned to
death.
The timber losses in Clackamas
county have been immense, and the
whole length of the Clackarnas river
presents nothing but vlstas Of ruined
settlements.
In eastern Multnomah the fires are
under control and no further damage is
feared unless weather conditions
change. In southern Oregon excellent
work has been done by the forest rang
ers and the destruction was confined to
comparatively limited area Eugene
and the surrounding country are now
practically out of danger, tho, fires are
still menacing. Tillamock also has
been saved by the change in the direc-
ton Of the wind, and the Inhabitants
have good hopes of saving the town,
which has twice been almost abandoned
before the raging flames.
The most distressing losses have
been those suffered in the vicinity of
Springwater, Clackamas county. and
Lentz, in Multnomah county.

Kaiser, Musser and Hershery mills this
morning. 1t started in Kaiser's box
factory and soon the flames were roll
ing skywards and every hose company
in the city was fighting valiantly. Hero
ic efforts confined the fire to the box
factory. Women rushed to the scene
and were frantic for time, thinking
their husbands and sons were in the
burning building.
There were many narrow escapes.
but no fatalities. No wind was blowing
and the sparks did not spread the
flames, thus nearly all the mills were
saved. The wiping out of the district
would have thrown thousands Of men
out of employment. A strike in the box
factory had just been satisfactorily
settled and the men had returned to
work. Incendiarism is suggested, but
not believed probable. Loss, $4,000; in
surance, $4,000.

penitentiary is not required to be espe-
cially entertaining to the average read
er, but in the report of Warden Hunter
of the Anamosa penitentiary, fled re-
Gently with the state board. occurs the
following bit of history that is worth
repeating:
Judge Remley's history of the peni-
tentiary at Anamosa, published in vol-
ume Bulletin of the Iowa Institutions,
refers to large safe used in the clerk
office and says:
".When the writer first saw that safe
it was used in the office of the secretary
of state in the old stone capitol build
ing at Iowa City in 1855. When the
capitol was removed to Des Moines this
safe was loaded into an immense wag-
on and hauled by OK teams to Des
Moines. There were no railroads then
| in the state. When crossing Skunk
river the safe, by accident, went to the
bottom and remained there several
months. 1t was used in Des Moines
until the new capitol was accepted, and
when the penitentiary was started at
Anamosa it was shipped to Anamosa
and is still in USE
Shortly after the publication of this
article a writer in one Of the Des
Moines papers questioned the accuracy
OF the same. Recently the Hon. Isaac
Brandt, of Des Moines, visited at this
institution, and called his attention to
the safe, and, after careful examina-
| ton, he confirmed Judge Remley's
statement with the correction that it
| did not fall into the Skunk river, but on
account of the impossible condition of
the roads it was left for several weeks
in the mud on the river bottoms. At
the time this safe was moved Isaac
Brandt was state officer and used the
safe daily in the Office in which he was
employed. His Identification places it
beyond question as the Identical safe
moved from Iowa City, as stated by
Judge Remley.
Thomas Mollett, who is in the em-
| ployment of this institution as superin-
tendent of derricks, had charge of the
derrickS In the construction work of the
capitol at Des Moines, and under his
supervision every stone, iron truss and
heavy piece of building material was
| placed in position. When the work was
completed he was directed to take his
| hosting engines, derricks and appar-
atus to Anamosa, where he still re-
mains, as above stated Two of these
engines have an interesting history, and
/ are still in use In charge of Mr.. Mollett.
One of these was used in the construc-
ton OF the first Rock Island railroad
bridge at Davenport across the Missis-
sippi river, and was brought to Des
Moines in 1871. The other is one of two
that Mr. r. L. Finkbine purchased at
Charlestown. Mass. in 1872. These en-
gines have been in constant repair, give
us better service than the new ones
that have been purchased, especially
for the work here"

THINK MISS NAeLE MAY 1--WE.
Young PennsyIvania Woman Closely
Guarded at the Hospital.

Erie. Pa, Sept. 15.-Last night the
physicians in attendance on Miss Edith
Nagle, daughter of Millionaire T.. M.
Nagle. who tried desperately to end
her life by cutting her threat with a
carving knife, for the first time think
that she has a chance to recover.
She is closely guarded at the hospital
for fear that she will tear open her
wounds and bleed to death. Remorse
at her failure to end her life as planned
seems to be her principal feeling. She
also regrets that she has brought dis
grace on her father
None Of the family is able to ad-
vance any reasonable theory for Miss
Nagle's action. She was rather Sc.
clGded in her life, but had all that
money can procure to make her happy.
She had no love entanglements, and
the commonly accepted theory is that
she was temporarily insane as result
of Mysteries.
