A NARROW ESCAPE.
New sharon Man Has a PaInful
Experience.

New Sharon Star: j. w. Bowdle
had a narrow escape from death
Thursday night. 1t appears that an
electric wire was broken opposite the
residence OF Mayor Carr, and DR..
Wallace and L. B. Wildman were
there to fix it. Mr.. Bowdle happened
along, and knowing that it was live
wire, avoided it. For time the wire
was sputtering in the water and then
ceased. Somebody remarked that
the current had been turned off, and
after a short wait Mr.. Bowdle, to test
whether there was still heat in the
wire, placed his finger close to it, not
intending to touch it, but it shot out
against his hand and he was unable
to extricate himself. When he fell
mis- other hand came in contact with
the wire and the gravity of the situ-
alton was increased. Miss Carr
quickly called the attention of DR..
Wallace, and he at once telephoned
the power house to shut down, which
was promptly done, and Mr.. Bowdle
was relieved, and none too soon, for
life would soon have been extinct.
AS it Is he has two sets of fingers
bound in linen, and realizes he had
close call.

MOUNT ETNA STILL SAUNDERS
manned Quiescent since the
1900 Eruption.

The height of Mount Etna, the IA
nous volcano of Sicily, has long been
fixed at 1886 feet. Its height has re-
Gently been more accurately measured
by trigonometrical processes and the
exact elevation is found to be 1o,775.
The difference is not important, but the
more exact determination will, of
course, be given on the maps hereafter
published. The main crater has a
width of 1,72s feet and a depth of s26
feet. Mount Etna has periods Of al
most complete quiescence. Six years
had elapsed after the eruption of 1892,
when in the autumn of 1898 blue flames
began to emerge from the mouth of the
largest crater and great deal of vapor
was emitted from the lesser orifces.
1t was then announced that Etna
seemed to be preparing for an effusion
of lava, probably on the south OF
southwest slopes. The expected erup-
ton, however, did not begin till the
morning of July 10, 1899, when great
volumes Of smoke and lava began to
issue from the main crater, but after
several days the activity gradually
subsidized, and Etna soon resumed its
peaceful aspect and has since seemed
to be in a slumberous condition.

creased when he learns that the Judge
advocate Miss Jackson) has been ac-
quainting his eight wives with the law
OF the U. S. A., which says a man shall
have but one wife-that is, at any one
time; and that Miss Jackson has fur
Their informed that a divorced wife
may ask for alimony unto the half of
her husbands income. The problem
confronts him of giving to each of his
eight wives the half of his income. In
crease the income, and the alimony is
proportionately increased. The poor
sultan of Sulu! No wonder he sings
"A Puzzled Man."
HIRAM is committed to Jail. The
eight wives fall in love with the brass
buttons, and the brass buttons prove
responsive. Chiquita Miss Gertrude
Quinlan), the favorite, finds easy prey
in Col. Budd, who has been turned
down by Miss Jackson, the lady in
forming the colonel in the midst of
some love-malling on his part that she
could listen to him only latter bust
ness hours" Naturally the colonel
turns toward a charmer that is not
bothered with business and business
hours.
In the end, of course, all the tangles
are untangled; and everybody is hap
ply, very vocally happy. News comes
that the old laws of Sulu are to con-
tinue for a season in Sulu, and so at
once the much-married HIRAM is re-
leased. He is to rule no longer as sui
tan, but still is to hold high office, that

GOES TO ATLANTIC.
5Ist Iowa Encampment Located for
July % TO 30.

Des Moines Register: Atlantic
won the Iowa National Guard camp
of the Fifty-frst regiment, July "a.
Ames, Oskaloosa, Griswold and
Atlantic were the principal COM
petitors. 1t was discovered that the
railroad transportation to Ames
would be altogether too high to make
it possible for the camp to be held
there. There was some thought OF
holding it in Des Moines. Griswold
presented many attractions, also, as
did Oskslooss, 1t was thought TOR q
time that the latter would win out,
but the Atlantic people have a way
of doing business when they start
that Is really admirable. II might be
said that Colonel Lincoln was much
DESTROYS of having the camp at Ames,
and that city presented enticing
claims for it, but he finally consent
ed, at a conference Friday with the
adjutant general, to permit it to go 10

NO RAILROAD FIGHT.
Men and Management of Iowa
Central Friendly.

The following article appeared In
the Thursday evening issue OF the
Marshalltown Times Republican,:
"The Iowa Central trainmen are
not satisfied with their meeting with
General Superintendent M. Sweeney
at Oskaloosa over the new schedule
that the conductors and brakemen
want put in force, They think that
they should receive standard pay for
work done the same as trainmen on
any other road. In speaking of the
situation to a T.-R. reporter We'd
nesday evening one Central con-
ductor said: We are determined to
fight for our rights and will have
standard pay, at whatever cost. We
will take the matter to Vice Preei-
dent and General Manager l.. F.
Day, providing Mr.. Sweeney does
not care to grant our slight demands
and IL Mr.. Day cannot see his way
clear to give relief the schedule ques-
ton will be carried to the heads oil
our various OF "a. the Order OF
Railway Conductors a. the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. 1t is a
matter that we are deeply interested
in and we are determined in It.
The committee representing the
trainmen state in most emphatic
terms that the above article is wholly
unauthorized, unwarranted and with
out the semblance of foundation.
The committee had a lengthy confer
ence with General Superintendent
M. Sweeney in this city and some OF
the matters under consideration were
left in an unsettled state subject to
future consideration. The best Of
feeling prevails between the superin-
tendent and the men and there was
no hint of dissatisfaction. No APP
pearance of disposition to contend
for the points by means of fight"
was manifested at any time nor is
that the intention of the men. That
there is difference of opinion is ad-
mitted but this will have early con-
sideration at the hands of the man.
agement and amicable determination
will result. The most amicable of re-
lations between management and
men is known to exist and there will
be no unpleasantness, excepting that
kindled by such firebrands as gave
utterance to the article quoted.

The picnic of the Iowa Central
railway employees held in this city
