EXPR[S@NEN DON I
FAVOR NEW SCHEME
Iowa Central Messengers Say
They Will Not Work Under
New Arrangement
LAY.ovER TIME TO BE ABSORBED
Route Agent Buchanan Presents sug-
seston as to What the Messengers
Will Have to Do at Albert Lea After
Completing Their Runs-lt Fails to
Please Them and They May Quit.

The messengers of the Adams Elk
press Company, assigned to runs on
Iowa Central trains / and 2, between
Albert Lea and Abba, may give up their
positions rather than to accept new
arrangement that has been suggested
by Route Agent Buchanan. The mes
of 206 miles, each day in the week,
and do not get very much rest at AL
bia ,one of the terminals. No. is due
into Abba at 500. but the way the
track south is now, it is usually nearer
midnight before the train arrives. The
crew has to arise at o'clock in order
to leave at on No. /. Arriving in
Albert Lea at 2:3o p. m, a rest until
1880 the next day Is given.
The new arrangement. as proposed
by the route agent. is to have the mes
sengers do office and drivers duty at
the Albert Lea end, in order to do away
with one driver. The proposition is
to go to the office Immediately after
arrival and remain during the after
noon, and then do drivers duty at
night, meeting an HAD train on the M.
& st. L. from the north. Then, at S
O'Clock the next morning, office duty
is suggested until noon. AS both of the
messengers on these runs are married
men, it gives them practically no time
at home, when they do have IL lay-over
trip ever other day.
The messengers are very much
worked up over the proposal. and claim
that they will quit before the, Will sub
nit to it Route Agent Bu-
chanan is said to have expressed his
views in the words. that II they didn't
care to accept the new arrangement
as proposed, he would secure men VINO
would The matter will likely be de-
cided. within few days, and i looks as
IL the places of the present messengers
would be supplied by new men.

FRANK PETERSON WEBS.
Former Marshalltown Boy Married to
Young Woman of st. Joe.

Former Marshalltown Boy Married to
Young Woman of st. Joe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles f. Peterson
arrived home Wednesday night from st.
Joseph, Mo-, where on Tuesday night
they witnessed the marriage of their
son, MIR. Frank Peterson, to Miss Mag
nolia Elan. of ST. Joe. The wedding
was a very quiet one, and was Wit
messed only by the immediate relatives
OF the young people. Mr.. and Mrs.

Moines Wednesday night, and this
morning went to Grinnell, where they
will visit for few days with Mr..

allowance being in the nature of q re-
issue to commence Jan. 4, 1896. at the
rate of Sc. and s12 beginning on, July
II, 1902.
The pension is of more than usual in
terest because of the ruling in connec-
ton with it's allowance. Won Bibber
was, prior to his service in the union
army, confederate veteran. fighting
against the stars and stripes. Mr. Won
Bbber was pensioned under the act of
June 81. 1890, by the Harrison admin
stration, and on the change of the adj
minstration, the next pension commits
sioner ruled that all who had prior
service in the rebel army, should lose
their pensions. Won Bibbers pension
was taken away from him on Jan. q,
1896. On July /, 1902 congress passed
a joint resolution removing the barrier,
and allowing those who had been de-
barred their pensions again. A ruling
was made, however. by the commits
sioner. that they should commence only
from the time the last application was
made after the pensions had been re-
moved. After the resolution had been
passed by congress, the secretary of
the interior, on appeal, ruled that the
Joint resolution was not a pension law,
but simply removed disability or bar,
hence the pensions had to be paid from
the time they were stopped.
Another pension that has been fav-
orably reported to Mr.. Denbow will be
of interest. 1t is an allowance to Mrs.
Sophia A. Underwood, Of Eldora,
mother of Asa Boyden Underwood,
Spanish American war veteran. an ar
tilleryman, member of Battery A. who
was killed at the battle of Santiago.
He was a comrade, it will be remem-
bered, of two young artillerymen, who
were with the Buffalo Bill show here
a few years ago, and every effort was
made TO find Mrs. Underwood at that
time, that she might be personally IN
formed of her sons death and his bur-
ial. She could not be found and the
story was published as told by the ar
tillerymen. in these columns. Mrs. Un-
derwood is granted an original mothers
pension at the rate of S12 per month,
commencing March 81, 1902, altho the
claim was thrice rejected prior TO lis
being granted. Mrs. Underwood is the
widow of the late Myron Underwood,
assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Iowa
infantry, and had been drawing Wid-
ow's pension of IS for several years on
account of her husbands service. This
is no longer Forthcoming. because OF the
new one.
