Rules Are Suspended
The rules of the council we're now
on motion suspended and the ordin-
ices of the Interurban Construction
company were passed upon their
third and final reading and were up
before the people. The date of the
election will be March 25 with the
usual registration days preceding.
The rules were again laid aside and
the Oskaloosa and Tama ordinance
went through with whoop and the
election before the people will be
held on Monday, April Z.
The election for the O'Neil ordin-
ances is placed at an earlier date
than the o. & T. ordinance for the
reason that the O'Neil work must be
completed by January 1, 1908 and the
company desires to be at work at
the soonest possible moment for they
have no more time than they desire
for the completion of the road. The
o. & t. Co. have until June /, 1908,
and have other work to do in other
cities OF their proposed route and are
more at leisure. Hence the council
makes the difference In the dates of
the elections.
For a Larger City
Another thing done by the city
council at the special session of Tues
day evening was the passage of a
resolution calling for an election for
the extending of the limits of the city
of Oskaloosa as described in these
columns few days ago. The election
will be held on Monday, April IA

VIEWED THE MINE.
State Commission Visits Scene
of Recent Explosion.

The members of the special COM
mission, authorized by the Legisla-
ture to investigate the causes of
mine explosions, arrived in Oskaloosa
over the Rock Island Monday night,
and on Tuesday morning drove out
to Lost Greek the scene of the re-
cent fatal explosion. In the party
were, T. ]. Phillips of Ottumwa,
President, John Werner, of Oska-
loosa Secretary, j. w. Miller, Des
Moines, John P. Reese, of Abba, and
John P. White, of Oskaloosa. At
the mine they were taken in charge
of Supt Timbrel, conveyed under
ground and shown every courtesy
possible. The party returned to
town and left at 1927 p. m. for Des
Moines. They OF course had,reached
no conclusions at that time, In
conversation Mr.. Phillips said the
chief source of trouble related to
the method of preparing shots, mas
much as the miners relied almost en-
tirely on powder to get out the coal.
John Werner, state mine inspector,
asked whether additional laws on
the subject could do anything to pre-
vent mine horrors, said: "You can
make laws from here to Jericho, but
II the miners are not willing to
cooperate and you do not have their
good will you can accomplish moth
ing"
Both Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Werner
agreed, however, that regulations
could be made and information dis
seminated that would do good.

How IL was Done.

How 10 Was Done.
The session of the council at which
the great work was done was called
to order in the court room in order
that the great crowd of interested
citizens might be accommodated. A
greater crowd was present than on
the previous evening.
The o. & T. ordinance was placed
upon its second reading and the first
snag was struck. There was con-
tention as to the name some members
of the body contending for one thing
and the company objecting for reasons
expressed and explained. This mat
ter was finally dropped and section
one after a number of amendments
that required an hour and half OF
work was passed. A few more Sec
tions were read and a second OBJ.
struc ton came up in the streets and
alley desired by the company as re-
tanned to their service until the loca-
ton of the line. There was consider
able discussion and the progress of
the ordinance was becoming ex-
tremely tedious. Talks were had by

ling speech and finally Sam Baldauf

progressing made an address, to the
council that was straight from the
shoulder. Lewis Cruzen and s. j.
Dutton, and also Mr.. O'Neil had &C.
casion to speak out in meeting and
the DO ints made were effective. But
little trouble was experienced after
that and the ordinance was pushed
through and passed upon its second
reading,
The ordinances of the Interurban

road and light plant were likewise
now taken up and passed their second
