The Fundamental Power.

"1f we were conscious of the fact
that it is from us that. the rulers de
rive their power, that we constitute the
fundamental power, that no govern
mental function can be exercised
without our consent--in fact, if we
knew our power and had the intelli-
gence to use it, how easily the remedy
for the benefit of mani lind could be ap-
plled. Some day we hope to see the
workers educated uo to the proper
standard, some day we hope to see the
workers all united Under one solidar-
1ty interest for the benefit of all; that
none Will retard, but all help the pro-
gress OF the world by entirely ignoring
geographical lines and class distinc-
tons, and embrace all mankind as
brothers. But thte solidarity of the
workers is still a dream. While we
have some who are willing to sacrifice
everything in the cause of labor, there
are others who, through ignorance or
indifference, are willing to submit to
any and every condition that may be
sought to be imp osed upon them. Then
there are others who doubt the efficacy
of labor organic atoms, who doubt that
any good end tean be gained. These
argue something after this fashion:
Why should we spend our time in
working for IN object that is certainly
remote, and which may be unsatisfac-
tory when gal ned, when we can enjoy
comparative comfort by attending
strictly to nu mber one? That kind of
people work IN the principle of after
us the delug e." they have no thought
of posterity, no care for the heritage
that they will leave to their children.
Others. agai n, there are who think that
patriotism is the only essential, and
take for their motto, Patriotism and

Building Trades Council.

The Building Trades Council held
an enthusiastic meeting at the brick
layers hall last Saturday evening.
The council is getting itself in excel
lent shape to take care of things in
the building trades line. A study of
its constitution calls ones attention
to the fact that there are bright and
conservative men at it's head. The
organization will be of untold benefit
to the building trades as well as a pro-
lection to all home labor.

She Asked for Divorce.

NV
About the time the woman found
out that Bryson was going to ask for
a divorce from her she also made an
application for a divorce from Mincks.
This case came up for trial November
a. 1901 and a decree was ordered by
Judge Eichelberger. AS the fee for
the same was never paid the decree
was not signed and that is the condi-
ton of the case at present.
May Get Off.
Attorney Scott raised a legal ques-
ton this morning in regard to the
case which may result in the woman
getting free. He claims that she is
still married to Mincks and as the
record shows this to be the case, he
claims that Mrs. Schwartz cannot
prosecute her for adultery.
Not Lived With Him.
So far as the police can learn the
woman has never lived with Mincks
since she came to Ottumwa ard at
this time they do not know where he
is. When she first came to Ottumwa
the woman was going under the name
of Carrie B. Kent and it was under
this name that she was married to
young Bryson. For several months
past she has been rooming in a house
on East Fourth. street and it is here,
it is claimed, that Schwartz made his
appearance on the scene.

FIFTEEN MILES UNDER SEA.
Adder Goes That Distance Without
Coming to Surface.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune from
Greenport, N. Y, yesterday says: With
eleven men in her hold the Holland subma-
rine torpedo boat Adder went through the
most severe test today Of all her trials in
Peconic bay. She travelled under water for
fifteen miles without coming to the surface.
She also fired torpedo which struck an
imaginary ship square amidshfps. 1t waa
officially designated as three-hour SUBJ
merged trial, and the boat and her crew
went through 1t with flying colors. The
crew gave demonstration of the excellent
training they have received, for when the
Adder touched the bottom while going at
seven-knot speed there was no confusion
whatever. One of the amidship tanks was
quickly blown out and two men were ore
dered aft. The boat responded immediates
ly. Her bow rose and she shot to the SUR
face in a few seconds. She remained up
only two minutes. Then. diving again with
her tank refilled, she continued her trial.
1.-The discipline of the crew was Splendid,
said Naval Constructor ]. J. Woodward,
who had been down in the boat. ut was
the longest trip that has ever been made
under water in this country. 1t shows that
the crews of these boats must be men OF
more than ordinary nerve and thoroughly
drilled in this type OF boat. The air during
the run was all that could be desired. It
'stuffy in the last half hour, but no worse
than the air in any room with the door
shut for the same length of time"
Besides the naval board of inspection and
survey, who witnessed the three-hour trial
from the deck of the light house tender
Cactus, there was delegation of army of
ficers sent from Fort Totten Willet's Point)
to witness the test. The officers were Maj.
Arthur Murray, commandant of the school
of submarine defense; Capt. G. j. Bailey OF
the same department and Capt. G. F. Lam
ders instructor in the department of cleo.
trical mines and mechanics, all officers OF
the coast artillery. They were the guests
of E. B. Frost on the steam yacht MINI

themselves as surprised and pleased with

MRS. MoLINEUx SEEKS DIVORCE.
Wife of Man Recently Acquitted Of
Murder Charge.

A dispatch from Sioux Falls, S. D., to the
New York Herald yesterday says: Blanche
c. Molineux arrived here today, her purpose
being to establish a residence and, at the
expiration Of six months, seek a divorce
from her husband, Roland Burnham Molt.
neux Of New York who, after having BEEN
convicted of the murder of Mrs. Kate
Adams and sentenced to death, obtained a
new trial and was acquitted.
Mrs. Molineux makes no secret of her ina
tentons., She has already employed coun-
sci to care for her interests. She speaks
with bitterness of her husband, but She
will not discuss the grounds upon which
she will ask for severance Of her marital
ties
With considerable freedom Mrs. Molineux
tonight discussed with correspondent fox
the Herald the last four years OF her lifes
She appears to be filled with elation to be-
away from New York
While she speaks with bitterness of Ro-
land Molineux. tears spring to her eyes
when she mentions his devoted father, Gen.
Edward L. Molineux, whom she declares
to be the best man she has ever known.
So far as it is possible for her to do so
she has already dropped. the name of her
husband. Mrs. Molineux refers to him. as
that man. She is registered at the Cata~
ract house. where she has an expensive
suite of rooms, as Blanche c. Molineux,"
and she rebuked reporter who sent note
to her addressed Mrs. Roland Burnham
MolineuX."
Her married life, she has told her counsel
began as a nightmare, and from the day
she married until now she has never known
moment Of happiness. If she has told her
lawyers anything about the tragedy with
which she has been SO closely connecteds
they will not admit It, and her secrets Will
be held inviolate.
One thing has been made plain by tho
latest member of the Sioux Falls divorce
colony. Her determination to obtain legal
separation from her husband is not of re-
cent formation. She did not wish to add to
his troubles while he was in the shadow OF
death, and, above all else, she desired to
do all that was in her power to lessen the
burden of her father-in-law.
She was only waiting for his acquittal to
begin the action. Had his first trial result.
ed in his favor, her step. she says. would
have been the same as now. When he was
convicted she resolved to do what she could
to save his life
That accomplished. she set about release
ing herself from the shackles which were
distasteful to her from the moment they
were assumed.
The Herald says Mrs. Molineux's action
came as a complete surprise to her hus.
bands relatives.
