She died early Sunday morning and

he went back east (I don't know

moved to Pella. She died of old age,
and left many friends to mourn her

namely, that the European ambassa-
doris and ministers here called upon
President Mckinley, April z, 1898, in
the effort to prevent war.
The matter now in controversy is
what happened after that call and the
question at issue is, as presented in
the latest phase in the European dis
patches. did Lord Pauncefote under
take to secure the support of the other
European powers in an attempt at
forcible restraint upon the United
States. Sitting all the facts the con-
c,usion reached here is that Lord
Pauncefote's activities in the direc-
ton of Intervention have been gener-
ally misunderstood. 1t is known that
the Austrian minister was untiring in
his efforts in behalf of Spain. The
United States government has never
cherished the least ill-feeling on that
score, realizing that the blood ties be-
tween the Austrian and Spanish reign
ing houses sufficiently excused such an
attitude. In the course of these eff
forts Mr.. Hengelmuller turned to
Lord Pauncefote, as dean of the corps,
and sought to have him, as such dean,
see what measure of support could be
secured for another and more forcible
representation to the United States
as TO the undesirability of war. Lord
Pauncefote was confident that no such
proposition would carry, but he yield
ed Sn far IN the ann1ipa tion Of the Ans
trian minister as to submit his propo-
sition to the other representative Of
the European powers. The result
justified Lord Pauncefote's Judgment
of the outcome and it probably was the
inquiries he made in this proceeding,
and not any proposition originating
with himself. that led to reports from
the ministers and ambassadors here to
the European chancellories.

OVER THE RIVER.
Chris Evans Pays the Penalty
of Dissipation.

Chris Evans, barber of this city,
died very suddenly at the county jail
at 6:45 O'Clock p. M, Tuesday, Feb'y
II, of heart trouble. The man had
been on protracted drinking spell
and had been confined in the jail to
force him to keep away from liquor.
He was taken in charge Monday even
ing and was brought before the mayor
Tuesday morning. His condis ZION at
this time was such that Mayor Wray
deemed it advisable to call a physi-
clan, who examined him. He said
that the man was in a condition in
which it would be humane to keep
him away from drink.
Evans was examined several days
ago by physician who told him that
his heart was in very bad condition
and that he must stop his dissipation
and intemperance or he would die in
a very short time. He did not heed
the warning of the physician but con-
tinued with his spree. He was ex-
amined the second time by the same
physician and was again warned than
he was on dangerous ground on ao-
count of the condition of his hearo.
He was told to stop his drinking, but
he went out Immediately and again
became so intoxicated that he had to
be assisted towards his home. Arrest
followed about IL O'Clock Monday
evening.
Evans was returned to the Jail so
that the officers could have some con-
troll. He seemed all right during the
day with the exception of being shat
tered nervously. About six o'clock
he became worse and later he told
some of the prisoners who were in
the jail with him that he was dying.
Assistance was called Immediately
and DR.. Windle was summoned and
was soon at the side of the dying man,
but the poor fellow was past human
assistance and passed out quietly.
Chris Evans was a son of James
Evans, who resided in the west part
of the county. He has been in Oska-
loosa for a number of years and has
followed the business of barbering.
He was fine workman and has been
employed about number of shops of
the city. The man was his worst en-
envy, as he was addicted to the use
of liquor, and when under its control
he lost all command of himself. He
was rather to be pitied than con-
demned. The deceased leaves a wife
and one daughter.
An autopsy was held Wednesday
morning under the supervision of DR..
j. T. Coveny, assisted by DIR. II. G.
Homer. The brain was found to be
ia slightly congested condition. The
immediate cause of death was a blood
clot in the fourth ventricle of the
brain. Other organs were examined.
The stomach was found to be in a
highly infiamed condition, showing
the excessive use of alcohol, and the
lower part was liberated to some ex-
tent. The liver and the gall bladder
were found slightly enlarged, showing
the first stages of alcoholism. The
heart was normal. Some evidences
were seen of hypodermic injections.
An inquest was held during the af-
ternoon over the body at the office of
Squire e. O. Rice, who officiated as
coroner in the absence of Coroner
Ohas. Fehlinger.

FAVOR ELECTRICITY. DENIAL IS ENTERED.
The House Has an Important
Bill Before It,

Des Moines, Feb. Ex-senator Ball,
of johnson county, has introduced a
bill in the senate extending to elec-
trio lines all the present statutes re-
lating to steam railroads. This meas
ure is sweeping in it's provisions, but
it specifically exempts street car lines
from the application of the railroad
laws:
The bill is as follows:
The words railway, railway COM
pany, railway corporation, railroad,
railroad company and railroad cor
poration as used in the code and acts
of the general assembly, now in force
or hereafter enacted, are hereby de-
clared to apply to and include all
railways and railroads operated by
electricity, and all companies or cor
porations constructing, owning, or
operating such railways or railroads;
and all provisions of the code and
acts of the general assembly now in
force or hereafter enacted affecting
railways, railway companies, railway
corporations, railroads, railroad COM
panies and railroad corporations are
hereby declared to affect and apply
in full force and effect to all railways
and railroads operated by electricity,
and to all railway. companies, rail-
way corporations, railroad companies
and railroad corporations construct
ing, owning or operating such rail-
ways or railroads; provided, that
nothing herein shall in any way af-
feet or apply to street railways"
The bill by English, which has the
sanction of Governor Cummins, re-
quiring railroad companies to report
separately the earnings on their Iowa
business and other business, was re-
ported out for passage by the house
ways and means committee.
The house committee on schools

In the house a bill was introduced
requiring railroad companies to pay
their employees semi-monthly.
Senator Townsend introduced bill
by request, prohibiting reinsurance
of risks held by Iowa insurance COM
panies in foreign insurance COM

which they would be compelled to pay
# they did business in Iowa in their
own name.

ROBBERS ONLY.
No Patriotism in the Filipino GuerreIa
Bands

Washington, Feb. 12-In report
received by the War Department
from Gen. Chaffee this afternoon de-
clares the so called guerrela bands
which have been terrorizing the
people of the Philippines under
orders of the Katipman society must
be exterminated. He says these bands
are not impelled by patriotic motives
in carrying on a warfare against
peaceable natives but that their sole
motive is robbery. Thousands of
native men and women, Gen. Chaffee
says, have been killed by these bands
undea guise of making war on the
American forces.
