TO DEDICATE A CHURCH.
Methodlsts at Cedar Will Hold Ser.
vices Next Sunday.

From Wednesdays Daily.l
Arrangements are being made by
the members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in Cedar for the dedicatory
services of their new church building
which will be held next Sunday morn
ing. 1t is announced that DR.. j. w.
Hancher, president of the Iowa Wes-
leyan University at Mt. Pleasant, will
preach the dedicatory service. The.
church is beautiful frame structure,
conveniently arranged and fitted in the
most modern manner and was complet.
ed at cost of about $4,000. 1t has a
basement with kitchen and dining
room apartments. There still remains
about $1,000 debt on the church which
it is expected to raise at the Sunday
service Work on the church was be-
gun early last fall and carried almost
to completion under the pastorate of
Rev. w. S. Shearer. whose death ec-
Cured during the latter part of the
winter. Rev. Shearer was succeeded
by Rev. H. F. Gilbert. The completion
of the church structure is looked upon
by the members of the church with a
great deal of satisfaction.

miners, in whose interest she has
worked night and day for years. Even
now she is in West Virvinia laboring
among the union miners and the min
ers whom she wishes to bring into the
union. No one knows better than her
self that the plan of which she is said
to be the parent would be impossible
and would do more injury than good
to the union movement in the country.
An Impossible Plan.
"The plan would be impossible of
execution" said Mr.. Bryne today. BE
fore this could be done the national
officers of the American Federation of
Labor and the officers of the smaller
organizations would have to hold a
conference. The constitutions of the
various local unions are against any
such procedure, everything is against
it, and do not believe any such move
ment could be worked up in the coun-
try at this time. There is no reason
for thinking that the tailors of Ottum-
wa would strike because there is a
little trouble among the anthracite
coal miners in Pennsylvania 1t is one
of the most impossible stories l ever
heard
The story from Chicago is mislead-
ing in itself. 1t states that every I'M
ion laborer Is to stop work on May IT
and in paragraph following that
statement closely the article says that
only the skilled laborers are to be
called out, while the unskilled ones
are to be left at work. The Chicago
story states that MARY Jones is now

said she is about to start north to con-
tinue the secret campaign for the day
of impressive quiet which she be
lieves will add SO much to the prestige
of the army of people who toll. Hel
| personal influence among the miner:
is reported to have been responsible
for the allied organizations taking UP
the question. The word was passed
along that the idea must be discussed
in executive sessions, and that its rea
worth lay in springing the day of ar
bitrary rest suddenly and unexpected
ly upon employers. '
THAT Mary Jones has been prosely

and the scheme until last night re

MARROW ESCAPE FROM FLAMES.
Mrs. c. A. Castle Carried From Burn.
ing Residence by Firemen.
rom Wednesdays Daily.l

tFrom Wednesdays Daily.1
Word was received by C. B. Castle
this morning from Des Moines stating
that the home OF his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Castle, was destroyed by
fire about o'clock yesterday morning
from which Mrs. Castle had a very
narrow escape. 1t is reported that The
fiat in which they were living was
practically destroyed by the flames
and that the household goods were TO-
tally ruined making a loss of between
500 and $780, MIR. and Mrs Castle
were formerly residents of this city
and left Ottumwa for Des Moines
about eighteen months ago.
According to a letter received from
Mr.. Castle in Des Moines Il is learned
that he had left home early yesterday
morning for his work before Mrs. Cas-
| tie, who has been in ill health fer some
time, had arisen. About z o'clock he
was notified that his home had taken
fire. Hurrying to the scene he saw
nothing of Mrs. Castle from the crowd
that had gathered Together with a
fireman he rushed into the burning
building. where he found his wife in
bed and almost completely overcome
by the smoke so that it was impossible
for her to help herself. 1t is stated
that Mrs. Castle was not injured by
\ the flames though had it not been fol
the timely arrival of her husband and
the fireman she must have persisted in
the burning house. Mr.. and Mrs. Cas-
tie are we'll known in Ottumwa having
made this their home for about thirty
five years.

Story Of DAY Of Quiet" is Received
With IncredulitY.

With Incredulity.
Joseph F. Byrne, secretary of the
Ottumwa Trades & Labor assembly
and probably the best versed union
labor man in Ottumwa or southern
Iowa, brands as untrue, impractical,
and impossible the plans which have
been reported to be in progress under
the leadership of Mary (''Mother'D
Jones, to have every union laborer in
the United States do no work whatev-
er on May II. A Chicago paper of
this morning states that this plan has
been considered secretly by the labor
unions throughout the country and
has met with approval, the object of
the movement being, it is said, to
show the great power of united labor
in the country and thus to awe the
money power by show of strength.
Is Not Radical.
This story is one manufactured in
the brains of some Chicago radical"
said Mr.. Byrne this morning when ask
ed about the matter Union labor is
getting along too we'll just now to
the one which Mother Jones is said
to be working upon. do not believe
the story and do not believe that the
woman is working along that line. Al
though she has the reputation of being
decidedly radical labor enthusiast,
she is not as radical as reported and
the reputation has been given her by
others. She is too we'll informed to
think that any such a scheme could be
possible"

the country, especially by the union

New Church Being Built.

The Catholic denomination is COM
mencing the erection of it's church
near Ardon. The church site is not
right in the city, but about quarter
of mile west on the road that runs
north and south at that point. 1t will
be convenient to the people who live
in the new town. No doubt other
churches will be built in the near fu-
ture.
The other new town in Muscatine
county, Madura, which is located near
Cone, has also been plated and lots
in that town will also be on the mar
ket in a short time.

Allen Johnston Awarded Legal Papers
With Relation to New Invention.

Allen Johnston, whose inventive ge-
MUS has been the source of much rev.
enue already, has been given a patent
on a device for manufacturing hollow
balls The many uses to which these
balls may be put are almost beyond
number, and this invention alone will
doubtless prove of much good to the
inventor.

Another Fire.

[From Tuesdays Daily.l
About o'clock this morning fire of
unknown origin broke out in the sec
and third stories of the building on
Main street occupied by John Fleming
as a shoe store, doing damage which
is estimated at about s11 400 on both
stock and building with insurance at
about 1900. The prompt response
and hard work of the city firemen was
successful in extinguishing the fire be-
fore it had gained much Roadway, and
the building was thus saved from total
destruction. John Fleming sustained
the heaviest loss. His stock, the value
of which is estimated at between S12,-
600 and $4,000, was damaged by both
fire and water to the amount of about
Sic, 1000 on which there was $4,000 in
surance The furniture on the third
floor belonging to the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and valued at about $500
was total loss, and it is estimated
that the loss on the building, on which
there was $4,000 insurance, will be
about $1,000
