WAGES OF WOMEN ARE SMALL.
Factory Inspectors Find Pay for Fe-
male Workers in Ottumwa is Low.


male Workers in ottumwa is Low.
Des Moines. July 16.-State Labor
Commissioner Ed Brigham and Dep
uty Commissioners Arthur Holder are
now engaged in their first inspection
of factories under the new law. They
are amazed at the wages paid women
and girls at Ottumwa and Davenport
where they are working for from So to
$3.50 per week. Mr.. Holder is presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor
and found that none Of the women
employed were organized with the ex-
ception of the garment workers. Ju.
venile labor was found to be exceed
ingly rare. and the employers said it
did not pay. Sanitary conditions were
found to be remarkably good in most
Of the factories.

Dewitt, Dec. 27.-The police yester-
day captured Miss Effie Robinson and
Carl Hoyt, couple of clipping young
people who had driven in a furious
race across Illinois and part of Iowa
to escape their pursuing parents. Some
time afterwards the fathers Of the
runaway couple arrived and took
charge Of them and took them back
home. The girl is just 16 years old, and
the boy one year her senior.
The pair eloped from Bishop HILL
Henry county, Illinois and with the
mercury below zero facing northwest
gale, drove for seventy five miles in an
attempt to get married in spite of the
opposition of their parents.
The parents thought the children
were too young to wed, and refused to
give their consent. The young couple
confided their story to the school teach
er, and the secret was too good to keep.
Early Christmas morning Hoyt secured
his fathers best team and buggy and,
getting the girl, started on the trip.
They crossed Rock Island and White
side counties and over the Mississippi
river to Dewitt, where they were cap
tured. On arriving home Hoyt was
whipped and the bride to be was
scolded.

A VETERAN JOURNALIST.
Editor Hunter Celebrates His Golden
Wedding Anniversary.

]
Wedding Anniversary.
Webster City, Dec. 27.-The Hon. j.
D. Hunter-editor of the Freeman in
this city since 1SS6--and wife celebrat-
ed their fiftieth wedding anniversary
this week. But few people in the city
knew of it. Mr.. Hunter is one of the
editors of the old school, but few of
whom are found now days, who are ex-
tremely transformations and to whom
show or laudatory words of any sort
come unsought. In his varied life of
service to his fellow men and usefulness
to his country he has held many posi-
tons of honor and political preferment.
He has been twice state representative
and held the postmastership of the
Webster City Office for sixteen years
beside in early pioneer days holding a
county office. In state and Tenth dis
trict politics he has always been a
power and is beloved by men of both
parties for his rugged honesty and
sturdy qualities of character. A man
of brilliant mind, he is pungent and
forcible writer and in the editorial page
OF the Hamilton County Freeman was
excelled by none in the state of Iowa.
AS staunch republican he has always
advocated the principles of that party
and probably had as much to do with
the landing of the Tenth district in the
Cummins column as any other one man
thus making sure the position of IoWa'S
rising chief executive.

5 scHAEFFER DISAPPEARS.
Son of Former President State Uni
versity Has Mysteriously Vanished.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 27.-The many
friends OF George Schuyler Schaeffer.
son, of the late Charles A. Schaffer,
former president of Iowa University,
will be greived to learn of his disap-
pearanec. For nearly four months his
whereabouts have been unknown, and
skilled detectives have failed to locate
him. Nor has advertising in the New
York papers been of any avail.
George Sehaeffer left Philadelphia
on September End. The last heard of
him was on September 4th. On that
date he wrote from the Victoria hotel,
New York, to his mother in Washing
ton, D. G. He stated that he was going
to Minneapolis on business trip.
When he left Philadelphia he had
$4,000 on his person in bank drafts.
His private bank account shows a ball
ance of $500. No drafts or checks on
his private account have been receiv-
ed.
Many theories have been advanced
to explain the disappearance. None
of them seem plausible in Georges case
however. He was a perfectly steady
fellow with no bad habits, and his
friends are forced to believe that he
has been foully dealt with.
George Schaeffer was about "a years
of age, handsome young man over
six feet tall, and weighed about $50
pounds. He graduated from the col-
legiate department of Iowa University
and took a post graduate course at
Cornell University. Returning to Iowa
City he graduated from the college of
law, at the same time acting as mill
tary commandant of Iowa University
battalion. He then finished his law
studies at the University of Pennsyl-
