A QUEER FIND.
Log Drift Centuries Old Found Under
Ground Near bussey.

An odd find was made few days
ago by miners near Bussey and its
equal is not known among experienced
miners in the state. A new shaft is
being sunk short distance from thu
town and when it was at a depth OF
about forty feet the miners reached a
formation similar to nothing they had
ever seen before. 1t is a huge log drift
and looks exactly as 90 masses Of
drift wood lodged against some OBJ
struction in river. 1t is presumed
that the logs, though well preserved,
are centuries old las forty feet of earth
covers them. The theory is that in
times long passed a river existed
where the mine is about to be sunk,
and that by some sudden change it
was plotted out suddenly, the drift
being covered up by the accumuIations
of years.

airy meeting to be held in Ottumwa.
Now well advanced in years, she is
remarkable in the preservation of her
strength. Her sturdy little figure, her
beautiful white hair, would make her
conspicuous in many an assemblage.
Mrs. Mind will deliver the address Of
the evening on Friday, October II,
and she will be we'll worth hearing.
Several years ago she made a tour OF
many mission stations in Japan, China
and India, accounts of which tours are
preserved in book entitled in Jour
neyings Oft" written by her travelling
companion, Miss Baucus, a missionary
to Japan.
Mrs. Mind will. conduct a devotion
hour each day during the convention
at p. IN. She is one of the most in
teresting personalities which will grace
these meetings.

appropriations on account of the ru-
raj free delivery service reaching al
most $S,OO0,000.
"The quadrupling of the approprla-
ton in the absence of any recommen-
dation by the postoffice department
was construed Ky the postmaster gen
eral as determination on the part
of the legislative branch of our gov.
eminent that an experiment OF rural
free delivery should be made, and
that the money appropriated for the
purpose should be disburt ed. post
master General Wilson fccordlngly
considered the appropriation for 1881
as a mandatory and ordered that
steps should be taken to carry out
the wishes of congress.
First Route in 1896.
The first route was established
| Oct. 1. 1896, amid the misgivings oil
many of those connected with the SER
vice as to the result of the experiment
July /, 1897, found forty-three routes
in operation. The new administration
had just taken charge of the affairs OF
the department. 1t foresaw, in mea-
sure at least, the great possibilities OF
the new service, and the benefit its
introduction would probably bring to
the farmers of this country
about three years ago our late la
mented president asked Gen. F1tz
| Hugh Lee what, in his Judgment,
should be done to raise the standard OF
education in Cuba and Porto Rico
Lee, in his usually prompt manner, re

THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE

tFrom Saturdays Daily.l
Strike conference is over No set
Element was reached. 1t is now de-
clared that the President is going to
act"
This was the report received at this
office late last evening and bespoke
the failure of the attempt of President
Roosevelt to bring together the, con-
tending parties in the trouble that ex'
lists in the anthracite fields of the
east
All day yesterday the people
throughout this broad land waited
eagerly for some word from the meet
ing that was being held at the White
House. At last it came and as the
people read they became conscious
that their worst fears were realized.
With no attempt to assume author
ity in the matter or to offer sugges-
lions as to the merits of either party
the President at the opening session
of the conference yesterday morning
appealed to the parties in the case in
the interest of the public, asking that
they sink their personal feelings
and meet on the ground Of
common necessity for the ad
justment of the differences. With
all the earnestness of his great
and noble character President Roose
welt urged upon them the necessity o.
effecting a settlement, pointing out tt
them the terrible catastrophe that il
at the present time threatening thu
people throughout the entire country
To say that it is to be regretted tina
the conference ended without an ad
justment being reached does not begil
to express the popular opinion of thu
matter.
At this writing the exact causes TO
the failure are unknown. They will
undoubtedly be given to the public
and the people can then determine
where the responsibility for the de
plorable result rests.
President Roosevelt has by an ur
precedented action extended to thes
men his good offices as mediator. H
has given to them an opportunity t
make concessions and get together i
a manper that would receive the al
proval of public sentiment, withou
either lowering their dignity, if Their
be this quality in the position the
have maintained.
This they have refused. 1t is no.
stated that the President is going I
act 1t is hoped that he will find
method whereby he will be enabled
take the matter in hand and if nece
sary compel the adjustment of the di
ficulties and the resumption of oper
'tions in the mines.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound OF imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation car

normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused

New York, April 5.-The stock mar
ket to-day opened without a contin-

yesterdays late reaction. 1t was with
out the buoyancy which characterized
the greater part of yesterdays mar
ket, but prices were generally firm.
A fair degree of activity was enjoyed
in the first hour, but subsequently
business was contracted and after pub
ication of the bank statement there
was further increase in dullness. The
statement showed unexpectedly large
decrease in cash holdings and surplus
reserve. The effect upon prices, how
ever, was not marked, and while a
somewhat lower range of values was
established, at the close the losses, as
rule, were fractionally lower. Louis
vile and Nashville enjoyed a gain of
l per cent. on buying. Illinois Cen
trail was inclined to strength, but
closed at only slight gain. Colorado
Fuel and Iron recovered it's loss. Su-
gar was a fraction off. Amalgamated

Grass Irvine and some specialties.
