IOWA MINING SITUATION.

Opinions of Men Prominently Connect
ed With These Interests.
81 am not taking any sides at pres
ent with regard to sympathetic strike
of the Iowa coal miners" said John P.
Reese of Abba, president of District
No 13, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, during recent visit to Des
Moines. Concerning this matter Mr..
Reese is said to have also stated that
he did not care to take any definite
stand until after he had attended the
convention of the miners to be held in
Indianapolis and became acquainted
with the conditions that prevail.
According to one of the Des Moines
papers Mr.. Reese is credited with the
following interview during his recent
visit in that city:
"The newspapers have quoted me
wrongly when they have said l was
opposed to a strike, but | am not TAX
ing any stand whatever at this time
on that point. shall attend the meet
ing of the national miners union in
Indianapolis, which convenes July IL.
Secretary John White and will go
together. 1 return to Abba and will
leave for the east about the middle of
next week. There will be a large dele
CATION of Iowa miners at the conven-
ton.
THE new scale has been working
smoothly, better, believe, than any
we ever had before"
A. B. Dudley Of Mystic, a prominent
coal operator, Is of the opinion that
the coal miners did not sign away their
right to strike when they signed the
recent scale. Mr.. Dudley said: when
President Mitchell spoke at the ban
Quet of diners and operators held in
the Kirkwood last April he said: The
miners will never sign away the right
to strike I believe that Mitchell came
all the way out here from Pennsylvan-
ia to express those words and if the
operators had taken them up and re-
fused to go making the scale with
the right to be reserved to the min
ers Mitchell would never have left Des
Moines until that point was settled. AS
| it was, he saw there was no contest
on that point and he remained only a
short time. for one signed the scale
with the full knowledge that the min
ers were reserving the right to strike
by the provisions of that SCALE"
There will be no strike of Iowa
coal miners" said ex-Alderman John
Gibson, prominent coal operator of
Des Moines. THE miners have signed
the yearly contract and have faith
that they will not break it. was OPP
posed to any resolution that might
threaten them if they did go out on a
sympathetic strike. believe Dudley's
idea about the miners not signing
away their right to strike is all wrong.
That is the object of the agreement
and it is SO stated specifically. There
would be no object in the operators
making such scale if it did not pro.

A Courier of Long Ago Tells the
Tragic Story.
]. ". NORRIS ISSUED an EXTRA
Editor of This Paper in 1865, Who
Was Later Prominent in Chicago
Newspaper Circles, Informed People
of Presidents Assassination.

Mrs. John Newell, of Agency, has
in her possession an extra edition of
the daily Ottumwa Courier. that was
printed April 10, 1865, and which con-
tains among other items of interest,
complete account Of the assassina-
ton OF President Lincoln. This paper
now yellow with age, differs greatly
from the daily Courier of the present
time
1t was edited by the late j. W. Nor
ris and consisted of but single four col
umn sheet printed on both sides. The
Advertisements, though several in
nymber. do not occupy quite two col
umns of the eight which compose the
paper. Among the advertisements are
found the following named firms.
which are doubtless familiar to the
older residents of Ottumwa. VIM. g..
Moss Jr., & Co., 7. Devin & Son and
Moses Cherre. Each of these firms
was in the general merchandise bust
ness.

addition to those already named, COM
pleted the list of home advertisers.
The Des Moines Valley railroad an
nounced to the public that the road was
now open from keokuk to Pella, a
distance of 116 miles
The most striking thing about this
relic. however, is the report of the as
sassination of President Lincoln.
The following Is the report of the
affair as taken from the Courier Of
the above mentioned date.
President Lincoln was shot through
the head last night at Ford's theater
and died this morning.
The assassin is supposed to be J.
Wilkes Booth, the actor. About the
same time desperate called at Sec
rotary Stewards pretending to be a
messenger from his physician. Being
refused admittance he attacked Fred
Seward, son of the secretary, knock
ing him down, then passing on to the
secretary's rooms, when cutting down
two male attendants he cut Seward g
throat. The wound was not at last ac-
counts fatal.
Letters found in Booths trunk show
that this assassination was contem-
plated before March 4, but fell through
for some cause The widest excite.
ment prevails at Washington. Vice.

Another item of interest taken from

The paper is highly priced by Mrs
Newell and although it has been print
ed for so many years, it is still in a
fairly good state of preservation.
