IOWA LEGISLATURE.
Normal Schools and Lost Creek
Explosion Discussed.

Des Moines, Jan. 29.--The NORRIS.
school committee decided sarSport
for passage 81. F. 20, pby Warren, of
Marion county, providing for the
creation of an additional state normal
school in the institution formerly oc-
cupied as the Industrial Home for the
Blind at Knoxville. The bill provides
for an appropriation of s35, coo for the
remodeling Of the building. The vote
on the bill was nine to six, and there
was some warm discussion.
Representative N. E. Kendall, of
Monroe county, has proposed the
creation of a Legislative commission
to investigate officially the mine
horror at Lost Creek, last week, in
which twenty miners were killed and
rhirty-five injured by an explosion
whose cause is unEnogn. Mr.. Kendall
said that twenty of these explosions
had occurred recently and no explain
alton of the cause had be5u madfs
The commission is to consist of two
operators, four superintendent, ten
miners and the mine inspectors. 1t
is not to sit more than eight days and
is to report to the legislature this
session.
Representative Hughes revived his
aati-pass bill Tuesday and it was in
tcoduced in regular order. The senti-
ment for it seems to be widely pre-
valent. 1t is rumored that q 2-cent
fare bill will be introduced soon, as
companion measure.
Harvey Ingbam, of Algons, was de-
featedifor the nomination for member
of the board of regents of the State
University, in the Tenth district eau
Gus, Tuesday afternoon, by j. H.Allen,
of Pocahontas county, the vote being
s to 6.
Both houses met in joint session
this afternoon to observe Mckinley

CALL By FIRE.
Spontaneous Combustion in Pat
emit Stock Food.

The Mattison groc ny store on
North Market was the scene Of a
small fire last evening that might
have proved serious and had it oc-
CURED at a later -four would have
proved tie destruction OF the Lacey
building and perhaps other property
In that block.
The fire was the result of spontan-
eous combustion and it was dis
covered just as it burst into flame. It
was not necessary to call out the fire
department but there were lively
times in the store for few moments.
Harry Bowen came to the assistance
of "Bllly" Latollett and the fire was
handled after the fire had been dis
lodged from its place on the shelf.
The fire started in some packages
OF ''stock food" a patent stuff put up
by a Minneapolis house. The pack
ages were far removed from any
steam pipe or any means of firing.
A peculiar odor had been noticed In
+ Q store for some time. 1t was
thought that the odor was from the
radiators that have been heated more
than usual forsthe past several days.
The odor became more and more APP
parent az the day passed and custom
ers remarked about it. The
could not be definitely located. Fire
vas thought of but none could be
discovered any where. Finally about
seven O'Clock the odor became so
apparent and and SO d~isagreeable
that Mr.. Lafollett opened the doors
to see il that would not make a
clearer atmosphere in the room.
When the air from out doors struck
the stuff it burst into flame bursting
the boxes in which it was packed.
1t may be considered as most fortu-
nate that the fire did not break ont
at an hour of the night. In that case
considerable damage would have re-
suited.

the outcome of these conferences, but
practically avows that the Boer dele
gates still insist upon independence,
and considers that the government
ought to reply, setting forth Great
Britain's terms, and leaving the re-
sponsibility of a refusal to the Beers.
Probably Rejected.
Referring to this matter editorial
ly, the Daily News draws the infer
ence that the government has already
replied, and has rejected the Dutch
oyertures as unauthorized, as other
wise Mr.. Balfour would not have been
in a position to promise the papers
on the subject, this promise showing
that no further negotiations were
afoot. This was the impression in
the lobibes as a result of the an
nouncement of the government lead
er, and semioflicial statements in gov
eminent journals this morning de-
clare the outlook for peace not hope
full. Those acquainted with Boer SEN
timents assert that Messrs. Fischer
and Wolmarans, and Gems. Schalk-
Burger and Botha are willing to rec
ognize British annexation while Mr..
Kruger and DR.. Leyds, Gen. De Wet
and President Steyn still insist upon
independence. Therefore, at present,
it is considered hopeless to arrive at
any agreed basis of negotiations.

BANK is SUED.
Maccnbee Officials Seek to Recover
Big Sum from n Port Huron
Institution.

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. 25.-Suit
was begun by the supreme tent of
the Knights of the Maccabees against
the Port Huron savings bank Friday
to GOV judgment in the sum of
100000. The actual amount which
the plaintiffs seek to ecove is but
$4,000. This action is the result Of
the recent troubles precipitated up
on the supreme tent by c. D. Thomp-
son, the self-confessed d%efaulting
finance keeper of the order. Thomp-
son was also teller of the Port Huron
savings bank. This bank was not the
regular depository of the supreme
tent, but it is alleged that Thompson
sen to subdepositories drafts on the
bank instead of drafts against the
Commercial bank, which is the Mac
cabee depository here. Thompson
then replaced the Port Huron savings
bank drafts with Maccabee drafts, so
it is said, without the banks knowl-
edge. The declaration alleges that
100000 passed through the banks
hands in this manner. G. II. Phillips,
who is Thompson's attorney, appears
as one of the attorneys for the SUI
preme tent against the bank. The re-
cent payment of $1,000 by the Com
mercial and Savings bank of Flint,
Mich, to the supreme tent is to be
used as a lever in the present suit.

GIVEN TO OBLIVION.
City Council Drives Last Nail In
Street Car Coffin.

The city council met in adjourned
meeting Monday evening, transacted
some business, and adjourned to meet
again Friday evening for tho further
consideration of any business that
may come before them.
The principle business OF Monday
night was the passage OF Ordinances
No. 224. This ordinance declares null
and void, forfeited and Of no effect
the ordinances and franchises grant
ed to the oskaloosa Street Railway
and Land Company for an electric
light plant, heat plant and an electric
street railway in the city of oska-
loosa. The rules were suspended and
the ordinance was passed upon its
three readings and declared adopted
by the city council.
Another matter that received con-
siderable attention was the schee
Building at the corner of High avenue
and 3 street. Much discussion was
INDUCED in as to whether the pro-
visions of the ordinances were being
fully observed in the building of the
structure. Some were in favor of
resembling the former action of the
council 10 granting a permit to erect
a building. Others thought this un-
wise, but it was finally decided to
have the city solicitor examine into
the case closely and determine ii the
ordinances were being violated and
in case the building was not in ac-
cordance with the ordinance to have
the same complied with.
Mr.. Laffollett, of the First ward,
during the meeting brought up the
question Of fast driving on the streets
of the city, and it twas ordered by the
mayor that the officers strictly en-
force this ordinance and to arrest all
offenders, no matter who they were
nor what horse they were driving.
1t was stated that some parties in the
city of Oskaloosa were possessed Of
some very fast steppers and that the
rate of speed at which these same
steppers are allowed to proceed is a
menace to the public safety and good
and the practice must be stopped
even If some of the owners are forced
to pay a fine to teach them that they
are no better when behind a fast
animal than other people.

Decision of Michigan supreme Court
In Against Supreme Hive
Ladies of Macabeen.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 29.-In an opin-
ion Tuesday the supreme court afhrms
the Judgment Of the Washtenaw cir
cult court, overriding the objections
of the supreme hive, Ladies Of the
Maccabees, to the bill Of the great hive
of that order, asking for an injunction
restraining the supreme hive from in
terfering with the plan Of the great
hive to go into other states than Mich
igan and that the ritualistic and cere-
monial work be decreed to be the prop
erty Of the great hive. The court says
the bill is sufficient in law. The SUI
preme hive must 10 answer and meet
the questions Of fact raised. on their
merits.

NOT YET FREE.
another Disappointing Delay In the
Release of Miss Stone and
Companion.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The state de-
partment Tuesday received a dispatch
from the United States representa-
tives in Turkey regarding the case of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mis-
sionary held by brigands, and her COM
panion, Nine. Tsilka. It's contents
were Disappointing, the captives not
having been released, as was hoped
would be the case from the manner in
which the negotiations looking to that
end had been progressing lately. OFF,
Gals are averse to discussing the ease
freely, but it is understood the hesita-
ton of the brigands in bringing the
matter to a prompt conclusion is due
to their distrust Of the attitude as
sumed by the Turkish authorities. The
ransom money demanded has not yet
been paid. The state department will
continue to exert every effort to Sc
cur the release of the women, but
immediate prospects are less reassur-
ing.
Vienna, Jan. pa telegram has
been received here from Sofia saving
that the brigands wish the liberation
OF Miss Stone, the captive American
missionary, to take place upon Turkish
territory, and that the Turkish gov
eminent will not consent to this ar
rangement, unless It be advised Of the
time and place of the passage of the
brigands across the frontier. The
Turkish government also requires that
a neutral escort accompany the brig
ands.

Flooded with Counterfeit Money

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 29.-Gov.
Hunt has cabled to the treasury de-
partment at Washington asking that
al expert be sent here to settle the
counterfeit quest at Ponce, where
$4,000 in bogus silver was recently
seized. Business there is practically
suspended. The merchants of Ponce
are refusing to accept any silver coins
of the dates 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901.
The counterfeit dollars are poorly ex-
ecuted, but the alleged spurious
halves and quarters defy detection.
They are, APPARENTLY, of the full
weight. The bank officers have ex-
amined samples of the silver from
Ponce, and say the coins are good.
There r no experts here or at
