State Labor Commissioner Edward D.
Brigham spoke to a small gathering Of
union labor men last evening at a special
meeting Of the Trades and Labor assembly.
He told of the aims and objects of the
State Labor bureau and impressed upon his
audience the necessity of the laboring peo-
pie cooperating with the bureau by con-
tributing reports in order that the objects
of the bureau may be attained. Commits
sioner Brigham advocated the establish
ment of a state free employment bureau,
which in other states had proved. OF great
benefit to the laboring classes. The meet
ing Of the State Federation of Labor will
be held before the next session OF the state
legislature and he said that undoubtedly
this matter would be brought up at that
meeting and a bill drafted to be intro
duced at the next session of the state leg
i~slature. The bureau, he stated, would
demand an extra appropriation on the part
Of the state, as the present appropriation
for the labor bureau was barely sufficient.
Commissioner Brigham will go to Missouri
Valley this morning and from there to his
home in Des Moines tonight.

TO Them.

The Highland Park college foot ball team
arrived from Des Moines last evening and
is quartered at the Kiel hotel. They are
a husky lot Of young men and the Dodge
Light Guards expect to have the game Of
their life this afternoon. The collegians
outweigh the soldiers and the latter realize
that they are up against a hard proposition.
The game promises to be the most eIcit-
ing seen here this Eeason and both sides
are not only determined to win, but are
confident Of doing so. Strack, the full
back of the collegians, is a full-blooded
Indian and weighs 210 pounds and is said
to be one of their star players.
Speaking Of his team, Manager Law
renee D Graf Of Highland Park college
said last evening: "Our average weight is
1853. Our goal has not been crossed this
year and we have not been defeated. We
have beaten Des Moines college, Capital
Park college, Penn college, Upper Iowa
university and Amity college. and we ex-
pect to win today. We expect to give the
Guards their first defeat. Our men will
take a workout this morning"
The game, which will be played at Lake
Manawa. will be called at 3 o'clock. Har-
vey Coogeshall, a graduate of G%rinnell,
will ofhciate for the visitors and DR.. V.
l.. Treynor for the soldiers. The Guards

they will put him in the game.
This will be the lineup Of the two teams:

Iowa state News Notes.

Farm hands in Iowa get better pay than
the average wages for teachers in the
common schools.
Delinquent tax lists in Iowa are the
smallest In the history of the state. Farm
taxes are almost universally paid up.
The Des Moines nan who is lost in Dark
est Africa is like a good many other people
who get into trouble. He wanted to wear
diamonds.
A net profit of 81, 75G on six acres IS rather
handsome, and that is exactly A.
Baker. near Davenport, realized this season
on six acres of onions.
The latest religious novelty is a church
census at Tama, the canvass showing that
less than one-third of the population regu-
larly attend worship.
When Iowa editors are robbed of $1,000
in money and diamonds, as c. A. Fry of
Clinton was the other day, IL is useless to
cavil at the evidences of prosperity.
An Iowa man has notified the commits
sioner of pensions to stop paying his
pension. He says 1t is all an error that he
has any disability. He has lately become
addicted to Christian science.
A curious application for an injunction
has been fled by Mrs. Dora B. Casey in
the Woodbury. county district court. 1t
prays for a restraining order TO prevent
her husband from numbering her.
w. L. Eaton, speaker OF the Iowa house,
has been holly assailed lately by the
woman suffragists as being the cause of the
failure OF their constitutional amendment,
but he comes back with the retort that the
failure is solely due to the stupidity and
ignorance OF the onfmitte of women suf-
fragists who had charge of lobbying the
measure.

USES HER sUIToR's REVOLVER
Meta Leasure shoots Herself Because
Disappointed in Owner of
Pistol.

The weapon with which Meta Leasure
tried to kill herself at an early hour yes
terday morning at the home OF her mother,
Mrs. Rachael Leasure. 931 Avenue D., be-
longed to Charles Ellis, a special officer in
the Wabash railroad. The young woman
shot herself in the presence Of Ellis and
her mother.
Ellis had been paying the young woman
more or less attention for the last four
months and spent Thursday evening at the
Leasure home. He had placed his revolver
on a dresser near the bed, in which the
young woman was lying, and on the edge
of which the mother was sitting. The
young woman it is said, urged Ellis to
marry her, but he secuted the proposition.
Suddenly the girl reached over to the dres-
ser and Selling the revolver, pointed 1t
at her heart, exclaiming 81 do not believe
you care for me my longer. Charlie" Be-
fore Ellis or the mother could interfere
the young woman pulled the trigger and
the bullet entered the left breast. an inch
above the heart.
On the way to the hospital in the police
ambulance, the young woman who appeared
perfectly rational, asked Ellis in the event
Of her dying to promise that he would not
marry any one else. At the hospital Ellis
ordered that she be cared Tor at MS eN-
pense. He said that he did not consider
his responsibility went further than that.
He said that at no time had he made any
promise or given the girl any reason to
believe that he intended marrying her.
When City Physician Houghton arrived at
the Leasure home he asked for some warm
water with which to wash the wound, Mrs.
Leasure in her excitment, attempted to

an Emergency.
SICK PROVIDED WITH EVERY COMFORT

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE annual re-
port of General M. 1. Ludington, quarter
master general, is a review of the work
done by his department during the year.
The most interesting feature is what he
has to say regarding the transports, in view
OF the desire in some quarters to dispose
of them.
He says that the ships are fitted UP in
the best possible shape for the transpor-
tation of troops, and that representatives
of foreign nations have asked for plans
Of the fittings with a view of improving
their transports.
The report continues;
Nearly every ship sailing from Manila had
on board about 100 sick, who were provided
with every attention and comfort in the
transport hospitals that would be found in
any we'll regulated hospital ashore.
OF the many thousands of persons who
have been transported on the vessels of the
army transport service since its inception,
not one life has been sacrificed by reason
of any fault in the fittings or accommo-
dations upon the army transports.
In view of this excellent record, and of
futile efforts to secure suitable CONNER
cial ships for the transportation of the
armies during the war with Spain, and the
further fact that when withdrawn from
vantageously disposed OF by sale, 1 am
firmly convinced that, even though circum-
stances should permit the withdrawal of
the transports from regular line service
to the Philippine islands, II would be wise
policy to retain a sufficient number of
transports as a part of the equipment of
the army to be economically cared for and
kept in such condition as to be promptly
available for any emergency which may
arise requiring the transportation of troops
on the ocean.
