Quarterly examinations and going
to the Exposition seems to be all the
talk. The examinations began last
Tuesday, the 18th, and we are going
to Charleston the 31st, and will
return on the 4th cf April.
We amuse ourselves these after
Moons by playing basketball. We
play from 5 to $50 o'clock p. m
We have organized regular team
for the session, and We play some
very close games.
The Art League gave US a concert
Saturday night, the 18th, and the
President gave us reception after
the concert. The Y. W. G. A. sold
refreshments also, and the entertain
ment was enjoyed throughout by
every one present!
One Of our teachers returned from
Toronto, Canada, where she had
been sent as a delegate to the Y. W.
G. A. Convention. She reports a
pleasant trip. A Student.

The labor troubles up North seem
to have been smoothed over for the
time being. These Disturbances be-
tween capital and labor always have
a demoralizing effect upon both in
terests no matter which wins. It is a
great pity that the government can.
not see it's way clear to create a board
of arbitration before whom all differ
ences arising between capital and Ia.
Dor can be amicably adjusted with
exact justice to all parties interested.

We have doubts about the body
found in Eiisto river being that of
the notorious Barlow Warren. The
evidences of Identification are too
incomplete to be at all satisfactory.
Even the Coroner's jury, which viewed
the body and heard the testimony,
was unable to identify the body as
that of Warren and 80 found a YER
dict that "the man was unknown to
them and that he came to his death

AMONG THE AzTICS.
Experiences of an Oskaloosa
Party in Mexico.

George Hyde has returned from the
Santa Cruz country of old Mexico
where he has been in charge of a con-
struction gang for the Midland Bridge
Company in the work of constructing
culverts and bridges for a new railway
in that country. Mr.. Hyde took with
him into the south a gang of twenty
one workmen, including two Oskaloosa
boys, Charles Moore and William Nc
Grath, who worked with him on the
Iowa Central construction work north
of this city last season. These young
men return with the gentleman and
are now at their homes here. OF the
twenty-one who went into the country
nineteen stayed the entire time of
their contract.
Mr.. Hyde has much of interest to
tell of the land of the Mexican and he
brings home many curios and relics of
was at work. He brought back num-
Der of parrots, Mexican pheasant and
Mexican dog that is six months old
and has a total weight of one pound
and three ounces. He has some photo
graphs of bull fighting and gives a
graphic description of one of these
fights that he witnessed.
Mr.. Hyde distinguished himself by
digging the first well that has ever
been dug in Santa Cruz. He became
impatient on account of the fact that
the water for the mixing of the cement
for the concrete work that he was put
ting in had to be carried from a
stream from considerable distance
FRONT he location of the work. He
could see no reason why the water
could not be reached by digging well
and so suited action to the thought
and soon had well of the finest water
imaginable at a depth of about
thirteen feet. The natives thought the
feat most wonderful and it secured to
Mr.. Hyde reputation that extended
far and wide. The Mexican came
great distances to see the we'll and the
natives are using the water from it
daily and most likely will as they do
not seem disposed to dig any for them
selves or to understand that they
could do so.
Mr.. Hyde is as good as lecturer
and entertains companies of his
friends in the relation of his exper.
fences of the past six months. He is
an easy talker and tells of the things
he has seen in a way that cannot fail
to please any listener.
Earle Barton, or near Eddyville
who has been nthe country with Mr.
Hyde, returned with him.
Mr.. Hyde will visit in this vicinity
and at his former home near Palmyra
Michigan, and will then return to the
service of the company, but is not
particularly DESTROYS of spending an
other in the land OF scorpions, taran
tulas and corn tortillas.

more coal would be sent to the eastward,
and IL was in hopes OF securing an early
Shipment that representative OF the
company went to New York last night
for the purpose OF hustling the coal

John r. White & Son have Ave barges
afioat with something like 5000 tons OF
Scotch house coal, which should reach
here almost any day, and this company
also expects two barges with upwards OF
1000 tons OF anthracite coal sent from
New York by Saturday at the latest.
The Eastern Coal Co is not taking or
ders for coal and John r. White & Son is
only selling what coal Is on hand. No g
ders are taken conditionally. The small
er dealers have no coal OF consequence
on hand and according 70 the dealers coal
Is becoming more difficult tn get. The
prospects are that not q great deal of coal
will be received before the first OF the
coming month and II is possible that
cargoes will not begin 10 arrive frequent
