The editor of the Pioneer at Ida
Grove must have been discovering the
error of his ways lately. He went to
church on recent Sunday evening,
and here is what he has to say about
1t.
Some people seem to be surprised to
see the editor of the Pioneer in church
last Sunday evening. The fact OF the
matter IS we have never entertained
any antipsthy toward the churches,
but realize to the fullest extent the
great good they are to the community
and its inhabitants, and we can't ex-
plain why we have not attended more
regularly nor why we became inspired
to attend last Sunday evening. This
is one mystery non-attendance at
church-thst the usual run of news
paper men cannot solve. Perhaps 1t
Is because they think that the public
generally believe they are beyond re.
demption.

A SETTO is PROMISED
In Case eompsrs Demands Hearing
Before Amalgamated Folks.
REPORT OF THE WAGE COMMITTEE.
Opponents of the New Tactics OF
Signing the Scale Find an
Opportunity 70 Discuss
Their Disapproval.

Wheeling. April 2s.-The Amalga-
mated association got down to real
business. The wage committee was
the first to report. This consumed
much time. The convention went over
the report in detail. discussing each
feature.
That there will be opposition. how
ever. goes without saying. The sppo-
nents of the new policy of signing
scales will take advantage of this OPP
portunity to express their disapproyal
ofthe officers actions and this is where
the minority report of the wage com.
mittee will come in. The report took
up the entire day. There seems to be
little doubt. however. but that the re-
port will be endorsed by the conven-
ton
President Shaffer seems to have
controlling interest and unlike the re-
suit of the fight on tn contested seats,
it will not be compromise The ar
.gument in favor of the scales will be
advanced to the convention Will be
that the procedure was entirely con-
stitutional. It will be cited that the
scales were sikned by the regularly
authorized committees and that the
mill owners were fully informed that
the ratification of the scales depended
upon action by the convention. AT the
same time it seems that the faith OF
the conference committees is pledged
to manufacturers, that the scales will
be ndorsd. On rason for tn advance
signing of the scales, is that it remov-
ed possibility of strife between the
union and the manufacturers for at
least another year.
The imminence of anotner quarrel
between the two foremost giants OF
labor, Shaffer and Gompers, the first
intimation of which was published
Saturday, continued to be the topic of
conversation among Amalgamated
and other labor men. More startling
developments are expected this week
and 1t is possible that the matter may
assume proportions that may make it
the sensation of the convention and
overshadow the regular business trans
actions of the organization. That
Gompers will ccme here this week is
now thought TO be certain. An an
swer to telegram OF inquiry was re-
ceived, stating that he had left the
cit yand that it was thought he HAD
gone to New York.
In the meantime local Federation OF
Labor leaders and the anti-Sharrer
faction are rallying around the Comp
ers standard. If Gompers demands
personal hearing before the. Amalga-
nation, it will be probable the most
exciting incident in the history OF the
organization.
President Skaters adherents are
not mincing words in denunciation
of Flynn's coming and Gompers' &C.
ton in sending him here. They say
Gompers had no right to take unoffi-
cial newspaper reports of Skaters ad-
dress and that Flynn is imprudent in
thinking he could get hearing.

will revolutionize the cotton picking
industry of the south. The machine,
he admits, is valueless except ON the
level uplands. low valleys and prairie
grounds, but even if it should prove
successful with this limit its effect on
the labor question in the south will be
very marked.

CurioIns.

An extraordinary phenomenon
occurred Friday, says the Ravens.
wood News, on the place owned by
DIR. Vosburg. About daylight
a loud explosion was heard, which
awakened the family. Mrs. Vos-
burg arose and went to the window
to investigate. Facing the we'll
she noticed that everything looked
normal, the bucket on top of the
well box, etc, when suddenly an
other explosion took place. The
whole volume of water, we'll house
and all was thrown into the air,
the water deluging the ground and
enlarging the top of the well SO
that in its descent the we'll house
was engulfed up to the roof.
The well, except say five feet at
at the surface, was blasted through
solid rock, being thirty-seven feet
deep. The water now stands even
with the natural surface of the
ground. Henry Rowley, the asses
sor, came along shortly after the
occurrence, and while he was there
we discovered that the explosion
had evidently broken through be-
low also, as we noticed muddy
wateroozing up through the ground
about fifty feet away and twenty
five feet lower than the top of the
well. This is thesecond explosion
which has taken place on Lick Run
one about eight years ago in which
large ball of FIRE was thrown up
one hundred to one hundred and
fifty feet high, which was seen by
A. j. Vosburg and by number of
others.

was the orderly manner in which
the trial of Mr.. MoKinIey's assas.
sin was conducted. Doubtless
there are many people who would
have esteemed it q privilege to
have participated in the swift pun
ishment of the assassin, but the
fact that the people suffering un-
der a great national and personal
grief, showed their real adherence
of anarchy to the extent that they
demanded even for the miserable
assassin of Mr. Mckinley the same
orderly and fair trial that would be
accorded any other person was in

Death Robs Ganows.

Wheeling, W. Va, April 30
VIM. Mitchell, coIored, under SEN
tence of death for criminal assault
upon Mrs. Fred w. Schuman, OF
Wheeling. died this morning at 2
O'Clock. He passed away in his
cell in the West Virginia peniten.
tiary at Moundsville. Death prim.
arily was caused by lung trouble,
but a supplementary agent was
fright, through fright which seized
him after the execution of George
Garter. Mitchell collapsed, and it
was necessary for Governor White
to allow him a respite of four
weeks. Death deprived the galIows
of its victim. The case of William
Mitchell has been erased from hu-
man records by a mightier hand
than that of the executioner.
His case was taken to the Su-
preme Court by Hon. Rankin Wi
ley, of this city, who made a hard
fight to have the prisoner confined
in the pen for life, instead of hang
ing.
Mitchelrs remains were brought
to his former home at Mason City
Saturday and inferred.
