used in the commerce of the world
can be found in the range of noun

Prospecting has been carried on to
small extent in that section, and in
many places considerable mineral has
been exposed. It would be a long
job to enumerate all the minerals that
are found. but such we'll known met

Waterloo Objects to Freight Traffic On

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, March 2S.-The action
of the city council of this city about a
year ago, at which time notice was
served on the Rapid Transit Company
forbidding them to run a locomotive or
haul freight thru the streets of this
city, has been seconded by the council
OF Waterloo also. The action of the Of
ficials here resulted in prolonged
fight between the city and the company
and in the meantime the company con-
tinues to haul freight thru the streets
uninterrupted
measure making the act punishable
as a crime and providing imprisonment
and fine as the punishment has been
introduced in the city council at Wa
terloo and has passed it's second read
ing. If 1T passes that body the company
will carry it to the courts at once and
there will be trouble plenty.
The officers of the Rapid Transit
Company say they have to depend upon
the freight traffic for profits If they get
any. They have pointed out thru the
local press that they have been the
means of advancing the interests of
both this city and Waterloo and deem
that they should be worthy of som<
consideration at the hands of the coun-
ellis of the two places.

Iowa Falls, March 2S.-E. s. Els
worth, of this city, has just returned
from an extensive trip thru the south
and a visit to Cuba and the West In
dies, which gave him an opportunity of
judging of the fitness of the people of
the former island for government.
Mr.. Ellsworth is a keen observer and
extensive travels have well fitted him
to judge people and their customs, so
that his opinion is one that carries with
lit considerable weight. He is firmly of
the opinion that the average Cuban de-
tests the American as heartily as the
inhabitants of that island ever hated
the Spanish. He says that everything
in the cities on that island are SO dis
tinctly Spanish that hope OF ever
Americanizing the island seems very
remote. When asked regarding the fit
ness of the people for elf-government
he says that they were probably capa-
BILE of sustaining a government that
would suit the Cuban Spanish taste,
but so far as an American government
and civilization were concerned he ex-
pressed himself as extremely doubtful
and questions whether the present gen
Grafton will ever attain a much higher
step in government or customs than
is now attained.

course, and out he went. While he was
waiting in the doctors office for the
police DIR. Saunders asked him his
name, and after stammering for mo-
ment he gave one, presumably the
right one. DR.. Saunders wrote 1t down
on a slip of paper and Immediately
afterward had occasion to leave the
room. Later in the evening he looked
for the name and found it gone, the
patient having evidently repented OF
his thoughtlessness. When asked
again for his name he said that 1t was
Wentworth, which was not the name
which he gave at first and which DIR.
Saunders can not now recall.
The man said that he was a horse
trader and he has team now at a
local livery barn. He had been trading
near Rockwell City, where he had con-
tracted the disease. He has named
different places as his home. Emmets-
burg being among them. All in all, the
man still remains mystery and there

Des Moines. March 2S.-Just before
adjournment last evening the joint
convention of mine workers and mine
operators reached an agreement and a
strike has been averted. Up to the las;
moment the word Strike" seemed t
be in the very air. The word strike
seemed to express every mans idea o
the outcome.
At about 4:3O the miners announce
that they had reached decision. |

tor Waterman had been pleading for &
compromise. When President Morris

President Reese rose to his feet and
stated that the miners had arrived at a

the decision was to non-concur. But, y
he added, Sin order to get the matter
before the house, move that the action
of the scale committee be ratified The
motion was seconded and carried al
most unanimously. The joke was then
out, and hearty laugh followed. 1t is
stated that ratification carried in the
miners caucus by very narrow mar
gin, with not more than eight or ten
votes to spare. motion was made
that the next joint convention meet in
Des MoIues on the second Tuesday in
March, 1903. James Sutton of the OPP
orators moved to strike out Des Moines
and substitute Ottumwa. The amend
ment was lost and the original motion
carried by tremendous majority.
The agreement is substantially .den-
teal with that now in force, with the
addition of a clause providing that the
operators shall employ shot examiners,
who shall bear certificates of coinpe-
tency from the state mine Inspector;
that the miners may, where they so de-
sire, hire shot f1rers, and that when
ever satisfactory arrangements can be
made between the operators and the
locals, the same person may act as
both firer and examiner. 1t will be
seen that the proposition adopted is
that which was introduced by the oper-
ators in the scale committee some time
ago, and which, at that time, was in
dignantly spurned by the representa-
tives of the union. The demand of the
latter for an increase in the day scale
in the first district was finally with

Council Bluffs, March 2S.-The body
of d. H. Hart, veteran of the civil
war. was found yesterday afternoon
under the overhead crossing of the
Illinois Central at Loveland. 1t is sup
posed that he fell or was blown off
the trestle while attempting to cross
1t in the storm Tuesday night. His
head was crushed by coming in con-
tact with the stone abutments and
death was evidently instantaneous, as
the crossing of the Illinois Central
over the tracks Of the Northwestern
railroad is thirty feet high.
Among the papers found on him was
one on which was written in pencil
the following: IF anything happens
to me notify Mrs. E. ]. Hart, 2411
North Twenty Second street, ST. Louis,
Mo-" On another paper was found a
similar message, signed ID. H. Hart,
late Company B., Seventy third Illi-
nois regiment"
The body was brought to this city
last night and taken to Cutters under
taking rooms, where Coroner Treynor
will probably hold an inquest today.

being killed Wednesday afternoon, and
as 1t was she was badly disf1gured and

motorman had his foot on the bell, but
Mrs Geisler seemed not to hear the

up in an unconscious condition and
taken into store nearby to await the
