LOST CREEK RELIEF.
United Mine Workers Will Aid
Orphans and Widows.

Before adjourning the United Mine
Workers of Iowa in state convention
adopted the following report of the
committee appointed to devise ways
and means for distributing the Lost
Creek subscription fund:
Whereas, the method adopted by the
Lost Creek local union has gwen good
satisfaction, and we believe said sys.
tenn should be continued, as 1t would
best serve the interests of all con-
cerned, be it
Resolved, That when the local ex'
plosion fund is exhausted the state
secretary-treasurer shall semi-monthly
forward to each widow the sum of So
per week and 81 per week for each
child not self-sustaining until such
widow by marriage or other means
is able to support herself and family
or until the funds subscribed for this
purpose become exhausted.
And, whereas, there, is a mortgage
on the homes of two of the said wild
ows, be 1t
Resolved, That the state secretary
treasurer be empowered to pay same
from the funds and deduct the amount
from their semi-monthly allowance IL
payment equal to the amount of thu
sum spent to raise said mortgage.
And we further recommend that, al
the fund will only cover a period o
about forty weeks, an appeal go fortt
from this convention for more relief
the amount to be left to the option o
the givers and the local unions.

WORKED FOR $1,000
0ttumwa Ladies Trust Their
Savings to a CRATER.

Ottumwa, March 11.-Victor Ross,
professional palmist and fortune
teller. WHO has been operating in this
city, is missing-likewise about 81 900
belonging to several we'll known but
unsophisticated ladies. The police
refuse to give the identity of the
ladies, but the steal was discovered
through the confession of one who is
out $3.50. Another lost 5000, one $3.50
and several lesser amounts. The
spokesman of the coterie told her
pitiful tale at headquarters this morn
ing and it runs like this: She had
visited Ross several times and he had
told her she was on the road to great
riches. He said the only thing neces-
sary for the contamination of her am
bition was to come to him with good
sum of money on her person. The
victim was so far gone that on last
Saturday she went to the bank and
drew out the $3.50 she had on deposit
there in cash. This is put in chamois
skin bag and hid in the bosom of her
dress. When she appeared at the
shrine again, the Palmist was from
Missouri and had to be showed" the
money. His wish was gratified and
after the cash was inspected by Ross
the wallet was carefully replaced in
its receptacle. She was not to per-
NIT vulgar eyes to rest upon the coin
until to-day, when she was to call
again, and he would open up the mint
and show her an increase of thous-
and fold. She called this morning
but was informed that the bird had
flown. She then and there pulled the
pickering strings on her purse and
10 and behold; several pieces of green
paper and few brass medals! The
other ladies were worked in much
the same way.

morning. Death resulted suddenly
from stroke of apoplexy received
last night while delivering pro-Boer
lecture at the Opera House in this
city.
The Governor was the first speaker
on the program of the meeting last
night. A large audience was assem-
bled.
He began his speech with vigor land
seemed to suffer under no strain.
Toward the close he stammered, and
those near him could see that he was
suffering. Several times he leaned on
the table and seemed about to col
lapse, but he continued to speak land
| finished his peroration in loud, ring
ing tones. AS the Governor turned
to go ne stumbled, and just as he had
come behind the scenes he fell.
1t was found that both the patients
legs were paralyzed. Mr.. Altgeld
began to vomit violently and three
men were required to hold him. 1t
was almost an hour before he could
be put into carriage and taken to
his room at the hotel, The patient
continued to vomit, which was re-
garded as one of the most serious
symptoms of his condition. He be-
came so weak that he finally sank in
to semi conscious state and did not
rally until the end came.
Shortly before seven O'Clock the
Only physician beside him, the others
having gone to breakfast, noticed a
shudder pass through the patients
form and saw him grasp the bed
clothing, then lay quiet. The other
physicians were hastily summoned
and all methods known to science
to increase the respiration were re-
sorted to, but without avail, and at
1909 he was pronounced dead.
The governors last words, spoken
to his physician, were, How do you
do, DOCTOR" A few moments later he
lapsed into unconsciousness immedi-
ately upon being taken to the hotel
where he died. He begged the news
papers not be told of his illness be-
cause of his wife, who is i'll. Over
citation of spirits is ascribed by friends
as the cause of the fatal attack. Re-
Gently he made an anti-injunction ar.
gument before a judge known to be a
believer in the principle of injunc-
tions. The argument, it seemed to
the ex-governor, made favorable
impression on the judge, greatly
pleasing Altgeld. Following THE, the
manner in which his Buffalo speech OF
Saturday night was received by the
press of the east added to his citation
and Gen. Dilarey's victory over Me-
thuen was the climax. When he
stepped on the platform last night
his emotions had assumed complete
mastery of him, and in his intensely
wrought up condition his none too
robust constitution could not stay
the hand of death.

SCHOOL ELECTION.
Municipal Contest Number One
Sets a Merry Pace.

The first of the five city elections
occurred Monday when two directors
and school treasurer were elected.
If this contest is criterion, Oska-
loosa is in for lively time this
spring. Eleven hundred and thirty
seven votes were polled, and the
competition for patronage was al
most as sharp among the friends of
the several candidates, as it usually
is in a presidential election.
F. B. Shafer, cashier of the Frankel
| State Bank won out in the race for
treasurer, by a majority of eighty
over the present incumbant, r. M.
Boyer. John G. Williams and DR.. ].
E. Fleener were chosen directors by
sos and 422 votes respectfully. There
were seven candidates in the field for
directors and these all paired with
the two treasurers and with each
other, making about fifty different
combinations. A lot of the ballots
also had all of the names on, giving
the voter a chance to "pay his money
and take his choice" No less than
5000 ballots were printed for the
occasion, and during greater part
of the day as many as fifty were
lined up around the court house to
solicit the voters suffrage for some
particular friend. However, though
the scrimmage was brisk, it was all
good natured and free for all. The
large number of scratched ballots
made the work of counting out slow
and tedious, and in performing this
duty the members of the board
| learned their salary"
The result in the selection of
officers, is told by the following
| figures:
