ARE EXPELLED.
Two Thousand Men are Rejected
From Union for Making Trouble.

From Union for Making Trouble.
Chicago, Sept. 11.-Sixteen hundred
members of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen were
expelled from the organization yester--
day, and 1000 more may be disciplined
because they have jeopardized the
business of the packers by industrial
disturbances and unjust demands.
Substantial increase in wages has
been promised to 10000 men by the big
packing companies on condition that
the packers be guaranteed freedom
from labor troubles, and the union
leaders have set themselves to demon
strate their ability to stop turmoil
wherever their organization controls
| the workers.
Early last week the executive board
of the union, headed by it's president,
Michael Donnellly, demanded of the
packers a 10 per cent increase in
wages, which would add between $780,
900 and 100000 year to the pay rolls
of the companies. In reply the packers
said that when they were guaranteed
industrial peace they would make the
] requested concessions.

UNDER ENGINE.
Trainmaster Whennen of the Iowa and
ST. Louis In Disaster Near Novinaer.

Novinger, Mo-, September 11-With
the waters of the overfiowing Charlton
river swirling about him, Godfrey
Werren, trainmaster of the Iowa and
ST. Louis railroad, was pinned for two
hours beneath an overturned engine
a few miles north of here yesterday
General Manager w. G. Crimson,
Supt. w. ]. Stoneburner and the train
crew worked heroically to save his
life. The water was running like a
mill race and the train was literally
picking its way along. A few miles
north of Novinger, while rounding a
curve, the train slipped from the rails
or took the rails with it as it slid from
the roadbed.
The engine and cars turned over and
Werren, who had been riding on the
engine, jumped, but was caught be-
meath the engine and pinned down un-
der the water which was three feet
deep. BY the aid of axes and crowbars
and after two hours hard work, Mr..
Werren was liberated and in an al
most exhausted condition. A regular
train on the same line arrived at the
scene of the accident about $3.50
o'clock and. MT. Werren was removed
| to Novinga here four doctors were

FAMOUS FLAG.
coIors of Twelfth Iowa Pass Into,
CUSTODY of State,

Des Moines, Sept. 11.-An Americana
flag, shot-ridden and blood-stained. i
which was carried through the thick I
est Of the fight at the battle OF Corintn
and which David B. Henderson, ex-.i
speaker of the house of representa-
tives snatched from the ground only
to be shot down and crippled for life,
was yesterday afternoon presented To
Governor A. B. Cummins for preseryai
ton by the state by Hon. Il. P. Clark
son in behalf Of Mrs. c. E. Merriam,
of Manchester, wife Of Comrade Merri-
am. II
This was the flag of the Twelfth,
Iowa volunteer infantry, being in
charge of Company x. 1t was presents
ed to this regimental association re-
Gently. for preservation. 1t was pre-
scented the company by the ladies Of
Hopkinton at the time of it's organiza5
ton and after their capture was carr,
ried by the union brigade as its coli
ors. AS such it participated in the
siege OF Corinth and also in the battle
of Corinth the following October 1t
was once captured during the battle
| and retaken 1t bears the scars of
| battle and also the blood stains of
| Sergeant Major John d. Cole, who
was wounded at the time.
Col. David B. Henderson, then
lieutenant of Company G, Twelfth!
Iowa infantry, was the commander of
that regiments portion of the Union
Brigade" which was composed of the
fragments of the regiments captured
at Shiloh. Col. Henderson lost his leg
during the battle of Corinth, 1862
while in this command. That regi-
ment had eighty members in that
brigade and the desperate struggle
during the battle of Corinth is proven
by the fact that thirty mine of these
eighty engaged in the battle were Kill;
: ed or wounded. {

Pension Roll For Army Veterans Grow
Smaller, SAYS Commissioner.


Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-THE
annual report of Commissioner of Pen
sions Ware places the total number OF
pensions on the rolls at 996,545, net
loss of 2,901 during the year. OF the
total 729,356 are soldiers and PSI, 1S9
are widows and dependents.
Mr.. Ware announces that it is not
probable that the pension roll will
again cross the 100000 line, the high
water mark having been reached a
year ago. The average annual value
OF each pension is now $133.
Commissioner Ware makes the fol-
lowing recommendations Laws for
feiting the pension, or right to pen
sion, of any man convicted in open
court of an infamous crime; prohibit
ing the giving to the women who mar
ry soldiers after the soldiers become
pensioners; and a different method OF
examining applicants for pensions,
stamping the present system as UNI
certain, expensive, unsatisfactory, and
generative of an enormous amount OF
political friction.
MI. Weare suggests boards consti-
tuted of experts under civil service
| rules which should go from place to
place on fixed days, giving examina-
lions and receiving testimony regard
ing the condition of applicants and
making reports thereon.
| The cost Of the pension system per
capita of population for 1903 is given
as $1.75. The system, according tc
Commissioner Ware, was the greatest
as burden to the people of the Uni
: ted States in 1893, since which time
it has shrunk from 1924 to $1.32 pei
81 900 of taxable wealth, and in ter
years, he says, the burden will cease
to be noticed.

FEES ARE GONE.
No Records of Payments of Insurance
Companies.

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE sum of
$22,5OO was collected from insurance
companies doing business in Iowa
during the administration of this de-
partment by F. F. Merriam, who was
auditor of state up to the beginning of
this year. None of this money ever
was paid into the state treasury and
none of it can be recovered.
This is in substance the report of
the investigation which has just been
completed by B. F. Carroll, the pres
ent auditor, acting under the direction
of the executive council
The matter was taken up by the
council shortly before the expiration
of Merriam's term of Office. He was
asked to account for the fees collected
but he failed to do so, saying he had
kept no record. Thereupon Auditor
Carroll took the matter up with the in
surance companies and requested al
of those doing business in Iowa to re
port the amount of fees paid by them
to the Iowa department.
