ALBA DEFEATS DIES MONIES.
Lively Contest for the Location Of
Headquarters Of United Mine Work

| Des Moines, March IA lively con-
| test for the location of headquarters of
| the United Mine Workers of America
| took place at the convention in pro-
gress at Odd Fellows hall. Thursday
afternoon. Abba was selected after
several ballots had been cast. When
the first motion to take up the selec-
ton of location was made. representa-
tives from Oskaloosa, Abba and Ottum-
wa desired to speak in behalf of the
office. The discussion upon this cues
ton was sharp and finally resulted in
an impartial action, the representatives
being barred from speaking Four
cities were voted upon at the original
ballot, Des Moines, Oskaloosa, Abba
and Ottumwa, Abba is the home Of
President Reese, and Oskaloosa the
home of Secretary White. In either case
one of the officials would have to re-
move to the location of the general
office. 1t was thought to compromise
the situation by selecting Des Moines
where added central facilities We're con-
sidered. The first ballot resulted in
Des Moines having 95 votes, Abba 79.
Oskaloosa Stand Ottumwa 8. The lat
ter two places were dropped and the
final vote taken between Des Moines
and Abba This vote resulted in 101
votes for Des Moines and 1871 for Abba.
An effort was then made to make the
choice of the convention unanimous but
failed Sixty districts were represented
i'm the vote, each being allowed an av-
erage of four votes.
A resolution was offered tending to
set aside defense fund to be used in
cases of strikes or lock-outs. The an
nual assessment for the fund as sug-
gested was 25 cents The resolution was
lost.
Discussions were had upon questions
pertaining to the current price paid for
mining coal on the ratio of grades min
ed. No action was taken to set def
mite rate

$4,000 FOR ILLINOIS MILITIA.
Fines Amounting to 100000 May Be
Distributed to National Guard of the

Washington, March 6.-The war de-
partment yesterday made ruling
which will give the Illinois National
Guard about $4,000. During the last
war there was collected IN fines from
volunteer soldiers 100000. Fines paid
by the regulars go to the fund for SOL
diers' homes, but there is no provision
for fines paid by volunteers. The de-
partment has recommended that con-
gress distribute this 100000 pro rata
among the militia organizations of the
states, and as Illinois has 64.994 ma
tional guardsmen her share will APP
rroximate $4,000. Iowa has 1864
euardsnen and her share would be in
the same ratio.

A PAYING BUSINESS.

"I wish l had now all the money
once made in that house." said James
Noble. Saturday. as he passed the
Priestman meat market then being
raised up on trucks preparatory to be-
ing moved out to the street, and Mr..
Noble told that on Jan. 81. 1884, he took
possession of that house as a billiard
and pool room and in three years and a
half made little over $1,000. He ran
ii on strict rules of temperance and
good order. He sold no Intoxicating
drinks and permitted no man to play
who was under the influence of liquor.
He kept comfortable and pleasant re-
sort, with plenty of good reading mat
ter on the side table, and the result was
he was patronized by a good class OF
men. His receipts ran often to SIS and
$50 per day and once he broke the rec
ord by taking in $40 in one day. He
usually closed at IL o'clock at night,
except on circus days or extra occa-
sions, when he ran two or three hours
later. He sold cigars and the soft or
temperance drinks, including sweet CT
der. Whenever his key of cider began
to get hard he emptied it into barrel
upstairs for vinegar. During all the
three years and half, he says, there
was never a fight or row of any kind
in this room, nor even complaint
made against it for disorder. That is
certainly record creditable to Mr.. No
BILE. 1t is doubtful If even he could re-
peat 1T in these better days. But who
spent all that $1,000 and did 1t pay
them?

Hotel. 1t was built about 1880 by
George Oppenheimer and stood alone,
almost out of town, the nearest house
being that just vacated by II. l.. Griff1s.
When first built it was used for store,
but was not a success and was con
verified into boarding house and SO
used for several years.

LONG WORDS.

People who have the smallest vocab-
ulary use the longest words. The In
dams are notable for that. as their
names of places show. Yet many of
their single words stand for our COM
pound words, as h1innehaha, laughing
water and Nerburnsketchicook for
double mountain. However, their sin
gle words are usually very long, as
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for echo. The
echo would die before they could get
all of the word out of their mouths.
They are so stolid and vague in their
ideas, and so reticent among the whites
tho Parkman said the Five Nations
were very yoluble among themselves in
their long houses), one wonders how
they can have patience to use words
longer than sausage strings. White
people, having 500 or 1000 words to the
Indians one. are much terser, especial
ly If we'll educated and we'll read. They
condense and are simple in speech,
using short, meaty Saxon words, the
Bible setting them a good example in
quiet diction. 1t is, usually, the Mrs.
Partingtons who use big words and
jaw breakers.

Is of Opinion That Few PardOns

Topeka, Jan. 23.-In an address be-

here today, Governor Stanley de-
clared that absolute pardOns should
not be given to convicts. He said that
only paroles should be granted.

said Governor Stanley, "that pardons
should be an exception, and punish
ment swift and sure. Give them the
limit, but give them a chance by II
system Of graduation according to
their conduct and department. Have
three grades, and when they grade
one, make them eligible to a copdi-
tional parole, During my term Of
Office | have granted only four abso-
lutte pardons, and about eighty-eight
conditional pardons or paroles. Only
three of this number have violated the
conditions of their parole In most
