FITTING UP THE DIES MONIES.
Rapid Progress Being Made on the New
Cruiser.


Cruiser.
Special to Times publican.
Boston, Nov 1.-THE fitting out of
the protected cruiser Des Moines at the
Fore River shipyard has progressed SO
fast that it is expected that she will be
ready for her official trial early next
summer. The work of installing her
electrical plant began this week and the
framing of the gunports and the brass
work of the airports is being put in now.
1t is very. possible that at least part
of the Des Moines' armament will be
the product of the same works that
are building her. The United States
government, that is, has just con-
tracted with the Fore River Company
for seventy sets of rapid-fire guns of
the latest model. Ten sets are to be
six-fnch, fifty-caliber guns, which are
of the most approved pattern for the
main batteries of battleships and cruz
sers and are the largest pieces of mod
ern ordnance ever made in New En-
gland. The other sixty sets are three
inch, fifty-caliber guns, such as are
used in the secondary batteries Of the
larger warships. Both types have
proved very useful and are considered
much more effective than the old
fashioned guns of larger size.
The guns will be forged, oil tempered,
annealed to harden them, bored, and
turned at Fore River and then sent to-
the shops at the Washington navy yard,
where all of the naval ordnance is fin
iShed

Fireman Finds the Charred Re-
mains of Charlton Man in
Fire Ruins
DRUNK AND DROPPED LAMP
Aged Thomas Baxter Living Alone
With His Dog Accidentally Sets
House on Fire and Is Burned--sen-
sational Rumors Started About MUIR
der--Larse Crowd Present.
Special to Times Republican.


Charlton, Nov. 11.-Firemen fighting
the flames that consumed the residence
of Thomas Baxter last night, found the
detached head and charred remains of
the owner in the ruins. AT first foul
play, with an attempt to conceal the
crime by burning the building, was sus-
pected, but an investigation proved to
the satisfaction Of every one that the
old man came home drunk and acci-
dentally set fire to the house, which
proved his funeral pyre.
Baxter was an aged man living alone
with his dog in a small house half a
mile from the main portion of the town.
Last night he went home drunk, as he
had done many time before, and at
tempted to light lamp. A short time
afterwards neighbor noticed an I'M
usual light in the house and went over
to investigate. He found the house on
fire, but with the doors locked He then
kicked in window and the dog Jumped
out, but no trace of the man could be
found. An alarm was turned in. and
after the firemen had fought the flames
for time, the housel being totally de-
stroyed, one of them discovered the
mans head, detached from the body,
lying on the floor. Further search re-
vealed the remainder of the body, ter
ribly burned. A large crowd was pres
ent and the developments caused a
great sensation, giving foundation to
many wild rumors about robbers, MUIR
der, a miser and his money.

A NEW INVENTION.
New Machine That Is Likely to Change
the Button Cutting Business.

the Button Cutting Business.
Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Nov 11.-Experts are now
giving a new invention trial, which.
if successful, will revolutionize the
work of cutting buttons. 1t is machine
that files and sets the saw while the
machinery is running at full speed. One
of the worst drawbacks that has been
experienced by button cutters up to this
time is the necessity OF stopping their
machines every few minutes and fling
the saws. This necessitated great
loss of time and it dio seem that there
was no way to remedy 1t. However,
the old adage which says, Necessity
is the mother of invention" came into
play and a man worked out this inven-
ton. 1t is said that these machines
are now being tested in the button
factory of James S. Mckee at Column
bus Junction and that the attention of
the button manufacturers are directed
towards this test, which If as expected
viii be one of the greatest labor saw
ing inventions that have been made in
the button business for some time past.

Meeting to be Held Under Aus

Meeting Will Be Held December 5, s
and z and Many Prominent Educators
Will Be Present in the Discussion of
"Periodicity in Forming Character
Other Iowa News.
Special to Times Republican.

I special 10 IrmeS-Republlcan.
| Ames. Nov. 11.-Pursuant to call, a
number of educators and pastors OF
Iowa assembled in November of last
year in the State University at Iowa
City under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Society of Religious Education. A
highly interesting program was pre-
sented, covering important topics in re-
ligious education. During the session
the Iowa fellowship of said society was
formed, with officers charged with the
duty of continuing and extending what
was so well begun.
In response to an invitation extended
by the faculty of the Iowa State Col
lege and the Christian people of that
community, a second conference will be
held in the city of Ames, beginning Fri
day night Dec. 5, 1902, and continuing
thru Saturday and Sunday following.
To this assembly the fellows of the So
ciety the presidents and professors of
colleges, the teachers of high schools,
and all pastors of churches are cordial
ly invited. Hospitality will be provid-
ed for all delegates who send their
names to Rev. c. III. Seccombe, Anes,
Iowa, not later than Nov. 25th.
The program of this second confer
ence will be arranged and announced
by local committee at Ames, of which
Prof. ]. B. Weems, Phi. D., is chairman,
to whom all communications should be
rha will hr,
"Periodicity in Forming Character"
presenting the fact that Christian char
acter is the gradual product of life
time, the various periods contributing
to it. The conference will seek to de-
termine what may be done at the diff
ferent periods from infancy to old age.
The Iowa fellowship is but one of
several bodies organized to promote the
purpose of the American Society of Re
ligious Education. Iowa must not fall
behind any of the states in this good
work. A great problem is to be solved
-the formation of the highest types
of character being the noblest pursuit
in life. 1t is therefore to be hoped that
the response to this call will be prompt
and cordial, and that there will be a
large and influential assembly at Ames
on the days mentioned.
1t is proper to announce as a special
e attraction that the Rev. J. e. Gilbert,
d. D., of Washington, D. c., secretary
of the society, and the Rev.C. M. Heard,
D. D., of Minneapolis, superintendent
of the society for the northwest, will
attend the conference and participate
in its proceedings. DR.. Gilbert will be
by those who heard him
last year. These two gentlemen are
devoting their entire time to this
speciality and are prepared to speak
with profit to all.
