NOT SAFE FOR ANGELS.
Little Jack Knew There Was Danger
in Such Work

Little Jack Knew There Was Danger
in Such Work.
The woman with the enameled tea
cup slipped and told this story. She
said the incident happened in Brook
lyn.
"A little boy stood at the window
watching the snow falling upon the
pavement and blowing together into
dusty patches.
Aunt he said, do the angels
send the snow?'
"'Yes, dear said aunt, without look
ing up from her book.
There was silence for a while.
From out the house across the way
a white-capped maid came with a
broom and swept the sidewalk and
the steps. She was the maid of Mrs
s., a very fastidious, fussy old lady,
who had strong dislike for children
and dirt. Indeed, she seemed to re-
gard the words as synonymous. Only
that day she had sent little Jack and
his chums away from her side of the
street.
Jack watched the maid for
awhile" continued the narrator. ac-
cording to the New York Times,
then he startled his aunt with this
statement:
well, then I'd pity the angels IL
Mrs. S. catches them putting snow
on her steps!'

JOHN SCHNEIDER DEAD.
Stroke of Paralysis Experienced Last
Thursday Resulted Fatally.

John Schneider, well known in
Lancaster and vicinity, died Satur-
day morning from result of stroke
of paralysis, aged rs years.
Deceased, was a native of Ger
many and e1nig1ated to America in
1856. April 2, 1858, he was united
in marriage to Katharine Bauer,
and together they settled on farm
near Lancaster. Mrs. Schneider
after years of years of patient, low
ing care and toll, passed to her eter-
nal rest, leaving the husband and
father with six children now grown
to manhood and womanhood.
Mr.. Schneider continued to reside
at the old homestead with his sons
and daughters, taking two journeys
to fatherland in the meantime, and
had hardly returned from the last
when stricken.
The funeral, largely attended by
fsiends and neighbors, was conduct
ed Monday by Rev. J..T. Morgans at
the Aupperle church, and the re-
mains laid to rest beside those gone
before.

The prospects for the best fair
Boscobel ever had were dissolved
by inclement weather last week
and as a result, while the exhibit
ton could not be considered in
any light a failure, still it was a
disappointment to the management
and to the citizens of the town who
always lay everything aside for
this event and labor collectively
for it's success.
The exhibits were in every way
up to the usual high standard Of
excellence. The racing, consisting
of performances by runners only,
were closely contested and exciting.

Autumn Thoughts.

To wander about the brown and
hazy field this Indian summer
weather has a softening influence
upon my fretted soul. There
seems to be an odor of redskin in
the atmosphere and the landscape
has an aspect of incompleteness
without a struggling band of
aborigines driving their ponies
before, and dragging their wigwams
after them, across the prairies from
their summers chase. Of course
the Indian of my autumn day
dreams is not the slab-footed,
whiskey picked horsethief of the
reservation but the old-time Indian
of the cigar sign type who was
too noble to drink embalming fluid
or travel with patent medicine
show. The kind of Indian my
fancy dotes upon is the naughty
chieftain who had friends and foes
and later smoked his pipe of peace or
piece of pipe as the case might be.
l have always loved the redskin-
perhaps because I never saw him
in his native withstand sometimes
when my effection for him becomes
especially yoarnsome I lock myself
up in the attic and write something
beautiful.
Once when [ felt that way gave
a man reduction on his subscrip-
ton. He was cheapscrew any
how and I considered all I got out
of him as velvet.
Yes the melancholy days are here.
The frost gems glisten on the grass
at early morning. am told-and
the sagwag sits disconsolate in the
hollow log and mourns for the days
that are gone. The chigre and the
flea are dead-or ought to be-the
cricket's voice is thick and hoarse
and the mosquito is fling his bill
for the winter resort. The fly which
through the summer months has
tracked about the walls and window
panes with muddy feet now drops
with stiffened joints into the coffee
or the soup and all about us nature
strews her dead and dying till our
hearts are heavy with their woe and
with the ancient wards we sing:
When the flicker fiicks in the leafess tree
And the poIlywog croaks in the ten
And the migfunk sings in the Silly night
You bet I'm lonesome then.
And still the autumn brings it's
need of cheer for have we not the
candidate and campaign liar to be-
guile our idle hours? Now too the
autumn style of oyster comes upon
the scene with winning smile and
slides into our confidence ere we can
shut our pearly teeth upon his cold
remains. The church revival and
the social hop will soon compete for
patronage and autumnal zephyrs
Will inquire about the summer
wages that we should have spent
for socks. In the meantime you
should gather in your seed corn and
also your seed warts if you have a
crop and exchange screens for storm
doors and have the cellar windows
banked. If we see any more signs of
autumn loafing around in the back
yard of summer we will let you
know.

WHITE AT oTTuMWA.
Secretary of Miners Union Helps
Dedicate New Hall.

Ottumwa, Dec. 11.-Hon. ]. P.
White, of Oskaloosa, secretary Of the
Iowa District, United Mine Workers
of America, was one or the principal
speakers at the dedicatory exercises
of the new Ottumwa Trades Assem-
bly, hall in this city last evening Mr..
White in part said:
iowa produced during the fiscal
year ending last June practically y
100000 tons of coal. That was more
on an eight-hour day than was ever
produced on ten-hour day. The rea-
son for this is, that more work can
be done when the men are at peace
with their employers. There were
only twenty-one fatal accidents dur
ing the year, as against fifty-seven
the previous year. This was the re-
suit Of the better sanitary conditions
brought about by the union, the en-
ployment of shot-irers, and the in
spections of the mines. Another mat
ter of congratulation is, that not one
death occurred as a result of dust
explosion.

days frequenting saloons, etc. He
walked into the law Office Of James
Carroll Thursday during time when
Mr.. Carroll was absent and appropri-
ated volume of the Northwestern
Reporter" and a volume of the Law
of Evidence The colored man at
tempted to destroy all identification
marks, but enough remained so that
when he left the books in saloon
the property was recognized and the
officers were informed of the act.
The owner had no difficulty in claim
ing his property. The negro was
soon found and arrested and placed
in the Hotel Cricket. The offense is
a serious one, entering by day and
stealing, and there is penitsntiary
penalty attached. The case will most
likely go to the grand jury for inves-
tigation. The case was brought be-
fore Squire Stanley.

A BIG SAVING.
New Bit of Track viii Mean $25, 900
Year.

The seven miles Of new track over
School house hill" on the Iowa Cen
trail, between Grinnell and Searsboro,
which have been opened for traffic,
marks the completion of one of the
most needed improvements on the
company's line between this city and
Marshalltown. School house hill''
with its heavy grade and sharp re-
verse curves, has always been a great
handicap to freight traffic, and has
necessitated the doubling" of all the
heavy freight trains between Oska-
loosa and Grinnell. officers of the
company say the extra expense Of
running trains in two sections be-
tween Oskaloosa and Grinnell, on ac-
count of this grade, has annually
amounted to about $4,000. This has
now been done away with, and an en-
gine's tonnage between those two
points has been increased from about
700 to 1000 tons. In places cuts were
made to the depth of f1fty-three feet.
