DIES MONIES, Ia, July 12.-(Special
acknowledgements J. N. w. Rumple
of Marengo has withdrawn and will not
be a candidate for denomination in the
second district of Iowa. He Is supposed
to be AFFLICTED with cancer and declines on
account Of Ill health. He would have been
renominated by reclamation.
The strike Of the telephone operators is
now closed. The Mutual operators who
went out on a strike were all taken back
in a body this morning, thirty-nve in num-
Der, and the union has been recognized.
The operators who were brought to the
city from out Of town were already in
the employment Of different telephone COM
panies connected with the Mutual and they
will go back to their places. The operators
on the Iowa system will not go back for
a few days, but the officials Of the Iowa
have given orders for the settlement of the
strike and acceptance of the terms laid
down for them by the operators. The strike
will be called off in a few days and all
will be settled. The operators get a sub
stantial increase in wages and time of
work more satisfactory. Practically all
the labor unions Of the city had been
drawn into the controversy, and while the
telephone owners were determined in their
stand and the operators were using all
honorable means to win their fight, there
was no violence and very little hard feeling
at any time. The people Of the city are
glad 1t is over. 1t will take some months
to get the telephone lines back to their
normal condition.

The camp for the Forty ninth regiment,
Iowa National Guard. at Cedar Falls, to

Company G. Forty-ninth Iowa, and went
to Cuba with that regiment. The state

warrants aggregating in amount $40, 900.
These were warrants drawn on the special
State university building fund nearly four

taxes from a special levy and had war
rants drawn which were discounted and
sold in the east. The first batch of these
old warrants was presented today by the
Burlington Savings bank OF Burlington. VT.

for SIC, 900 will be due the first Of next

standing against this fund for a long time
and the money to pay them has been slowly
accommodating.
Factory Inspection Commenced.
q. d. Brigham, state labor commissioner,
and A. e. Holder, his deputy, returned to-
day from Davenport, where they COM
menced the inspection Of factories under
the new Iowa law which went into effect
on the 4th inst. They find that with the
added requirements of inspection 1t is not
possible to nah Inspections very fast and
they will not be able to get to all the fac
tories Of the state. They were generally
we'll received, but in one case had to show
their authority and use some force. They

that the pay OF women wage-earners is
deplorably small. They also find a number
OF children employed in factories. The in
spection Of factories will be continued as
rapidly as possible. Nearly all the cities
Of the state will be visited the next few
weeks.
Good Service of n Friend.
The family Of the late John Burnside,
who's funeral was held today. have cause
to thank the fraternal friendship Of a fell
low Elk. Mr.. Burnside used to be wealthy,
but in recent years lost everything and
a few months ago when a payment became
due on a $4,000 life policy he had been
carrying he could not meet the payment.
He told the ~bookkeeper at the insurance Of
nee he would have to give 1t up and or
dered the policy cancelled. The ~bookkeeper
said nothing, but quietly paid the sum due
and kept the policy intact. Today the
family found out for the first time that
the policy had not been allowed to lapse
and that they will get the money.
