SECRETARY THE WHOLE THING
What Shaw Says About Federal Pie in
Iowa Goes With Roosevelt,

Des Moines. June 27.-Col. M. L..
Temple of Clarke county was one of
the disappointed men after the caucus
of the Iowa congressional delegation
on federal appointments. He will not
state whether he really anticipated be-
ing successful in his candidacy, but
lntimated that he had known for some
time what action the delegation in
tended taking. He does not believe the
endorsements Of the delegation will
be turned down by President Roose-
welt, or that the holding up of the
nominations has any political signifi-
canoe. He thinks the President leans
on Secretary Shaw as to the situation
in Iowa more than he does on the con-
gressmen from this state. At the
same time he believes that Shaw will
approve the action of the delegation
rather than consider Governor Cum
Minis endorsement of Kemble for rev.

BOUGHT BY ARMOUR.
Omaha Packing Company Said to
Have Been Purchased.

Sioux City, June 27.-The Omaha
Packing company is the latest plant
to be bought by Armour & Co., accord
ing to authorities in packing circles.
Manager Robbins of the plant has an
nounced the sale of it, but does not
say who are the purchasers. but it is
the general opinion the Armour PEG
pie have secured the prize. The Oma-
ha Packing company has always been
considered valuable property, as the
plant has made money and has been
envied by a group of packers. With
the purchase of the Anglo-American
Packing company by Swift & Co., for
$5,000,000, together with Armour's re-
ported purchase, it is evidently the
intention of the big packers to take in
all the small concerns and narrow the
field down to the lowest possible lin.

coal mining states of the Union, and
have shown in many ways and on
many occasions desire for a clear
and explicit definition of the joint
movement inaugurated by the coal
miners and coal mine operators, and
now in vogue in many of the coal
producing states; and
Whereas, Such definition seems
necessary to create fair and healthy
public sentiment as basis for a Just
public opinion; therefore be it
Resolved. That the coal miners and
coal mine operators in joint conven-
ton assembled hereby declare:
That this joint movement is found
ed and that it is to rest upon correct
business ideas, competitive equality,
and upon well-recognized principles of
justice.
That recognizing the contract rela-
tons existing between employer and
employee, we believe strikes and lock-
outs, disputes and friction, can be gen
orally avoided by meeting in joint con-
vention and by entering into trade
agreements for specified periods of
time.

hand and a merely collective body of
business men doing business individ-
ually or in corporate capacity on the
other, each of the latter class having
visible and tangible assets subject to
execution.

condemn any departure whatever from
the letter Or spirit of such trade
agreements or contracts, unless such
departure is deemed by all parties in
interest for the welfare of the coal
mining industry and for the public
good as well, and that such departure
is first definitely, specifically and mu-

Such contracts or agreements hav

MILLION DOLLAR LOSS.
Storm Covered Wider Area Than Any

Sioux City, June 27.-Three deaths

Curtis of Beresford, S. d., was blown
from the top of a stairway to the
sidewalk and seriously injured. He
may die.
Latest reports show the storm to
be one of the worst disasters ever ex-
perienced in this western section. 9th
er cyclones in Iowa, such as the Pom
eroy and Grinnell storms. have ac-
complished greater damage and loss
of life within smaller area, but none
has ever covered SO wide an area or
done such wholesale Instruction.
The storm covered an area of 5000
square miles and within that district
every community has suffered loss.
While it is difficult to estimate the
damage closely, it will amount to over
81, 100000.
The principal loss has been to
barns and farm buildings and to crops
and stock. Throughout the entire dis
trlct there is not a windmill standing.
The result is serious proposition for
the stockmen who depend on wind
mills to water their stock. The storm
was typical tropical tornado, and the
first OF its kind in the west. Earlier
reports We're to the effect that thirty
lives had been lost, but the opening of
telegraphic communications show no
one was killed

burg averted what threatened to be
another war between France and
Germany. Schaebele was arrested Is
years ago by a German detective
named Gautsch on the FreMch-Ger-
man frontier The difficulties which
followed this arrest produced war
scare in Europe.
According to NJ. Faure, Frances as
sertion that Schaebele had lDeen ar
rested on French territory was bitter
ly contested by Prince Bismarck. At
this point of the proceedings a letter
from Gautsch to Schaebele summon
ing the latter to a conference was
found. This letter was Immediately
sent to NJ. Herbette, French ambas-
sador to Berlin, but the latter had
found Prince Bismarck so unfavora-
bly, disposed that he hesitated to in
trust such an important document to
his tender mercies. At this juncture
Prince Munster de Derneburg, who
was visiting in Berlin, called upon NJ.
Herbette, saying he ardently desired
the maintenance of peace, and offer
ing to aid the French minister. When
he was shown the Gautsch letter the
German diplomat said:
''Give it to me; confide it to me;
will bring\it back at three o'clock"
NJ. Herbette hesitated to turn over
the letter Prince Munster demanded
the original. NJ Herbette finally con-
sented and intrusted Frances trump
card to the German ambassador at
Paris.
Prince Munster went to Prince Bis
marck and showed him the Gautsch
letter. Bismarck angrily asked the
diplomat what business he had to at
tend to NJ. Herbette's commissions
Munster firmly replied that he had
only come to warn Bismarck, and
that he was going to show the let
ter to the emperor of Germany. This
he did. The emperor read the letter
carefully and said:
"Then Schaebele was under n flag
of truce. If we do not release that
man no one will ever dare to send a
flag of truce into a Prussian camp,
He must be released. I will at once
give the order, and you can tell Her.
bette what I have done"
A few hours later Bismarck set
Schaebele at liberty, and the war
cloud rolled away.

Edward Chiffon, of Herman, st.
Lawrence county, N. Y, who was
married less than a year ago to
Mamie Cramer, has traded off his
wife for an interest in a threshing
machine and other chattels, with
some cash to boot.
After the marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Chiffon lived in the village until this
fall, when they moved on one of the
farms owned by George Babbitt.
Harry Chiffon, a brother of the hus-
band, went to work on the farm and
worked until Tuesday. Then the
brothers settled accounts. Harry
paid Ed some money, and personal
effects which could not be easily
moved, such as an interest in a
threshing machine and some wagons.
In return for these Harry took Eds
wife.
The father of the two brothers car.
ried Harry and his new wife to the
train. and it is thought that they
went to Vermont. The father said:
''I never saw two brothers make a

The Intellect.

The "play" of the intellect, to use
vacation pun, constitutes the de-
light of learning, and is often its
truest inspiration. A young girl at
a hotel table, some years ago, un-
dertook to quiet a restless child by
making for him little figures which
she modelled from bread crumbs
rubbed between her fingers. The
rapidly growing procession of Noah's
ark animals attracted the attention
of a gentleman opposite. 1t was the
sculptor Thomas Ball, who afterwarG
told the girl she had unusual talent
took her to his own studio, and
taught her to model in clay and after
ward to work in marble. An inter
esting side-hght on the pretty incident
is that the young girl had molded
figures undisturbed by tableful %
witnesses, and, on the other hand

iseafth, and i+ is only In Atlantis and
Egypt and Yucatan thai man has
dared to hold his own, and fight them
with mind made strong by many
previous victories. In Europe and
mid-Africa the greater beasts hold
full dominion, and man admits his
puny number and force, and lives in
earth crannies and the higher tree
tops, as q fugitive confessed. And
upon the great oceans the beasts are
lords, unchecked.
Still here, upon this 1esolate sea,
although the giant Lizards were new
to me, it was a pleasure to pit my
knowledge of war against their
brute strength and courage. Ever
since the first men did their business
upon the great waters, they fulfilled
their instincts in fighting the beasts
with desperation. Hiding coward
Ike in a hold was useless, for if this
enemy could not find men above
decks to glut them, they would break
ship with their paddles, aud so all
would be slain. And so it was recog-
nized that the fight should go for-
ward as desperately as might be, and
that it could only end when the
beasts had got their prey and had
gone away satisfied.

of the beast that I made my attack.
The decks were slippery with the
horrid slime of them. The crew
surged about in their battling, and,
moreover, constantly offered them
selves as a rampant before me by
reason of Tob, the captains, threats.
