A LUCKY MORTAL.
Asa ID. stiles Must Have a..RabbIt's
Foot.

A Burlington man. who was pas
senger on the northbound Cedar Rap
ids passenger train Saturday morning
relates the story of the luckiest man in
Iowa. His name isiAsa d. Stiles, and
he lives near Scion. While driving
with his fifteen-year-old daughter, he
was struck by the train on crossing
about two miles south of Scion. The
highway crosses the track at an acute
angle, and the backs of the people in
the sled were therefore toward the
approaching train. A freight train
preceded the passenger, and Mr..
Stiles waited for it to get safely across.
When he drove across the tracks, the
passenger struck the first hobs. Mr..
Stiles was thrown into the air, fell on
the pilot and was carried several hum
dred yards until the train could be
brought to stop.
Our informant said: give were a
little behind time and we were run
ming very fast. When it became
known that we had struck party on
the crossing, of course, everyone
thought there would be terrible
sight. We were very much surprised
to find the man on the cow-catcher,
slightly dazed, but uniDiured. He
was taken into a coach and every one
was anxious to do something for him.
He told US that his name was Stiles,
and stated over and over again: You
know, could not hear your train. ,
By and by his mind became quite
clear. He was an elderly man, and
wore the Grand Army button. He
told us that he had gone through the
whole war, and had never got a
scratch OF course, I'VE congratulated
him upon his luck, which evidently
has not deserted him. He seemed to
be all right when we helped him off
at Scion. His daughter had been
hurled into a cattle guard. She was
crying for help, and when we dug her
out from underneath various blankets
baskets, pieces of the sled, etc., we
found that she also had escaped with
out harm. Even the horses were I'M
injured and trotted up the lane con-
tentedly. 1t was the luckiest ac-
cident that ever witnessed. l sup
pose that not one in a thousand
would escape from such terrible
danger without injury"

Masquerade Ball.

Jack Grice and Joe Nc Glasson gave
masquerade ball at the Armory Hall
Friday evening that for genuine en-
joyment surpassed anything that has
been attempted In the city for many
long day. There was big crowd
in attendance and the variety of cos
tunes worn made show that was
well worth going miles to see. The
music was fine and every moment OF
the evening was enjoyed by the
patrons of the enterprise, and it was
generally hoped that the boys would
continue their efforts in the direction
of amusements.

WAIVED HEARING.
Pekay RapIst Held TO Grand Jury
Under 81, 900.

Ottumwa, Feb. 15.-Edward David
son charged with the rape of Katie
Gallagher near Eddyville, waived
examination in court here and was
held to the grand jury under $4,000.
The Gallagher girl was not in a con.
dition to be removed from her home
this morning. 1t is Sheriff Cremer's
intention to have her come here
Monday to identify Davidson, and it
is feared that another demonstration
against his life will be made at that
time. The sheriff has the jail here
well fortified, and he will resist to
the utmost any. effort to take the
prisoner.

AN IOWA GLUTTON.
Eats Seven Dozen Raw Eggs at
One Sitting.

Dubuque, Feb. 14.-Phil Melloy
known as the gastronomic wonder of
this city, last night devoured seven
dozen raw eggs inside of ten minutes
on a wager.
The bet was that he was to swallow
ten dozen eggs in thirty minutes but
some one purposely handed him a
rotten one. After he recovered, he
offered to swallow the other three
dozen and eat roast goose on top,
but no one would accept the chal-
lenge.
Finally he offered to eat a bucket
of oysters at one sitting. Melloy has
been known for some time as the
man with leather stomach, and 1t is
dangerous to bet against him.

is wiped out.

A. COMPROMISE
Is Now Assured on the Cuban
Tariff Concessions.
Thought That the 20 Per Cent. Re-
ciprocal Reduction Plan
For One Year and Covering One Sugar
Crop Will Be Adopted.

Washington, March 12.-Overtures
have been made for a compromise of
the conflict over tariff concessions to
Cuba and there are evidences that the
two elements will come together, prob
ably on a proposition to have the 20
per cent. reciprocal reduction apply for
one year from next December, and COW
ering one sugar crop.
1t is understood that Chairman Payne
and Representative Dalzell made the
overtures toward an agreement. Soon
after these overtures, the leaders of the
element opposed to the ways and means
committee plan called a conference in
the committee room of VIM. Alden
Smith. Some 80 members were present
and the discussion lasted about two
hours.
The sentiment was rather unfavor-
able to accepting the plan of 20 per
cent. reduction for one year from next
December. and some of those present
favored rejecting the plan, but it was
urged against this course that so long
az overtures for adjustment had been
made in good faith, it was only proper
to meet the committee representing the
ways and means and Mr.. Payne and
his associates were advised, therefore.
that they would be met by commit
tee from the other side.
During the meeting it was said that
one of the beet sugar advocates had
been assured by representatives on the
ways and means committee that the
plan of compromise would not cover
this years sugar crop and would apply
only to the crop Of next year, harvested
prior to December, 1908. Some doubt
existed as to these assurances, and it
was considered quite vital that it
should be known with definiteness
whether the 20 per cent. reduction
would apply to two crops or to one.
It was stated afterward by ways and
means committee members that the
compromise plan would affect two
crops, that of this year and next, al
lowing 20 per cent. off on each. There
was no purpose, it was stated, to limit
the reduction to a single crop.
This matter will probably be left to
the arbitration committee with the in
dications that the beet sugar conferees
will insist on limiting the reduction to
enc crop, that of next year, and with
that limitation, will be inclined to ac-
cept the plan of compromise.
A full meeting of the opposition to
Cuban concession will be held, tomor-
row, prior to meeting representatives
of the ways and means committee.
