Irish Estate.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa. March 2S.-If the state
ments made in letter received by Mrs.
). X. Smith, 1924 East Main street, are
true that woman is one of two heirs
to an estate in Ireland valued at ST.
100000. The strange part of the story
is that Mrs. Smith was entirely un-
aware that she was related to any per-
son who could lawfully call such a
princely sum of money as his own. AS
yet she has taken no steps toward veri-
flying the alleged facts and to securing
her inheritance. The news of her good
fortune seems to have slightly dazed
her, altho she does not doubt its truth.
Beyond the facts contained in the let

SAW A TOTAL
LUNAR ECLIPSE

Masses of black clouds scurrying
across the sky last night almost OBJ
liberated the spectacle of the total
eclipse of the moon. The moon-gazers
were out in force. and the appearance
of her lunar majesty was eagerly looked
forward to shortly after 6 o'clock. AT
$50 the moon was about hidden behind
clouds, but at 6.45 clear space broke
away about the moon. and the gazers
had the pleasure of seeing a big bite
taken at GAG.
Hardly had the eclipse begun when
the clouds scurried over the spectacle
and from then on until about 9 o'clock
little opportunity was given to observe
the phenomenon. Then all the clouds
blew away and the moon was seen
emerging from the ordeal with three
fourths of her bright face visible. At
$3.50 the eclipse was over and the moon
sailed away across the heavens without
further incident.
The eclipse began at 6:49 and was at
full at S:1S and was over at $3.50.

The Cost of Living.

CHICAGO, Oct. s-The cost of liv-
ing has been discussed before the arbi-
tration committee sitting the grievanc-
es of the employees of the Union Trac-
ton Company. Tables, presented in be-
half of the men, showed that the prices
of thirty-seven necessary articles had
gone up and fifteen decreased. while
the street car men have worked at the
same wage for sixteen years.
The average advance in the cost OF
living was given at 40 per cent in five
years. Meats showed an advance rang
ing from Is to IS per cent. House rents
ran from 30 to Sc per cent, while no
estimate could be placed on COAL The
men urged that this heavy increase in
the cost of living. and the advances
made in other trades, should be weigh
ed when the question of giving them a
higher wage scale is taken into consid-
Grafton.
