during the greater part of her life in
south Hardin county. She was mar
ried in that county thirty-two years
ago. and lived near Hubbard until a lit

ent at his mothers bedside at the time

preparing to ask for leSsening of the
time of labor and increase in pay, to
go into effect on the first of April
Their demands comprised the estab-
lishment of a nine hour day and q
general increase of cents an hour IN
the wages paid to all carpenters. The
carpenters have been receiving all the
way from 20 to 30 cents per hour, and
have been working ten hours day.
The proposition made by the carpent-
ers also embraced extra pay for work
done over time, and double pay for all
Sunday work.
The contractors, 1t Is reported on
good authority, are not ready to COM
ply with these demands in their en-
tirety, but are ready to compromise.
1t is stated that a majority of them
are ready to split the difference with
the carpenters, and grant them gen
eral increase of 2 Y cents an hour,
promise have ben In vain. 1t Is gen
orally believed, however, that some
basis of agreemnt will be reached be-
fore the time limit, April /, is reached
There has as yet been no hard feeling
between the carpenters and contractors
but both sides are meeting harmon
iously and endeavoring to come to an
that will be satisfactory
to each.
1t is to be hoped that no difficulty
will arise, as at the opening OF the
season, with so much work in
sight, it could not but be harmful to
the city

from tip to tip. Wild swans were at
one time very plentiful In this part of
the country and many We're killed by
the hunters. In fact, 1t was nothing
unusual for hunters to kill one or more
of these beautiful birds of plumage, but
of late years they have nearly all been
killed off, or have left for other parts.
They are now almost extinct and are
rarely seen. Both of the gentlemen
shot at the bird, but 1T could not be
told to whom the honor belonged.
There We're two large grains of shot
which penetrated the bird and did the
deadly work, one In the left wing and
one thru the head.
Mr.. Indie did not state what he In
tends doing with the bird, but 1t will
probably be left in charge of an expert
taxidermist to be mounted.
