day night at $40 with twenty-seVeh

Shipper Takes Possession.
Editor Thomas E. Purcell, or the
Hampton Chronicle, was in the city
Saturday night to take possession OF
some freight that he had shipped south.
The consignment was SITS worth Oh
lob printing, that had been done Tor
outside points, and in the lot was one
package containing tax receipts, Whleh

ceipts were being sent to Grinnell Tor
binding and 1t meant a serious loss II
they were held here. Mr.. Purcell hunted
up Agent Porter, had the car opened,
took possession of the property, anu
sent it south by express.
Home Did Not Suffer.
The Soldiers Home did not suHer as
the result of the strike, altho 1t was
feared for a time that the conditions
would be serious. Thirty-eight tons
were hauled from the Gregory YARDS
to the heating plant Of the institution,

ECHOES OF THE STRIKE.
Notes of interest Observed by Few
Hours, Stay in the Yards Saturday.

Sheriff Shoemaker was called upon by
the company again Saturday afternoon
and with Deputy Cause spent several
hours about the yards. The officers
were asked to be on the ground because
of some thru trains that were to be run
north, and the railway officials thought
that perhaps some effort might be made
on the part OF the strikers to uncouple
them and thus cause delays. There was
no attempt, however. to interfere with
the traffic, and the switchmen say that
the thought OF interference never en-
tered their minds.
Came Near Not Stopping.
A train came near going thru Mar
shalltown and not stopping Saturday
evening and if such had been the case
old railroad men say 1t would have been
the first instance in the history of the
road that a Central freight did not
come to a standstill here. The train
was No. 95, with a heavy drag of thru
business, destined for Albert Lea. The
train hit the crossing at about twenty
five miles an hour and gave no evidence
of stopping until the engine reached
the "home signal" of the interlocking
tower The block was against 1t and a
stop was necessary, as a Great Western
freight had the crossing. This neces-
STATED the stopping of another thru
freight, an extra, which was only a
short distance behind
Strike Loses Central Business.
That the strike has lost business for
the Central was shown by an example
Saturday afternoon. Not only has the
road suffered, but shippers have been
greatly inconvenienced. Ward & Pyle,
of Bromley, one of the heaviest stock
shipping firms on the Story City branch,
had a consignment of cattle for Chi
cago. The animals had been bought
before the strike and it was necessary
to get them on the Chicago market by
today. Two loads were bought in and
around Marietta, and instead of loading
there the firm had to drive the animals
overland to LaMoille, and load on the
Northwestern, ready for shipment east
Sunday morning. AS 1t was Mr. Ward
estimates the shrinkage to him meant
between $50 and SIS, to say nothing of
the inconvenience and the cold trip

FEAST OF HOLY lNNocENTs.
Celebrated With Solemn High Mass a

Sunday was known as the feast of holy
innocents. A solemn high mass. con-
sisting of celebrant with deacon and
SUBJ deacon, was said in st. Mary's
church. The choir, composed of twen-
ty-eight trained voices, chanted the
same mass as was sung on Christmas.

Mutual Forbearance," developing the
text from Galatians 81, Bear We one
anothers burdens; and so you will full
fill the law of Christ"
The first day of the new year, Thurs

the feast of the circumcision of our
Lord. is observed by all Catholics thru

tion. The services are the same as
those of Sunday.

"Lynchburg" in his ear, and the two
men rode of into the darkness.
No sooner were they beyond hearing
from the station than they changed
