ton In Oskaloosa Thursday NIGHT.


The forming Of a federation of the
various branches Of organized labor of
the trainmen, enginemen and operators
OF the Iowa Central, which has been
under consideration for several weeks,
was perfected in Oskaioosa Thursday
evening. While all the various roads
were not represented. and did not en-
ter the federation, it is thought they
will do so at some later date, in the near
future. About seventy-five representa-
t;ves of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. Order of Railway Tele-
graphers and Order of Railway Con-
ductors, from this city. Oskaloosa and
Monmouth We're present. While repre-
s~entatives of both the orders OF engi-
neers and firemen We're in attendance
from the various cities represented by
the others, the entire sentiment of the
various lodges had not been secured SO
they did not enter into h federation.
Action may be taken by them. however,
at any time, as they are privileged to
enter at any time they see fit. The OBJ
ject OF the federation is to bring. closer
together the various branches Of rail-
labor and is to the railway em-
rloyes what the Trades and Labor As
sembly of this city is TO the various

Whereabouts ofa Marshalltown
Business Man Unknown to
Family
LEFT CITY TUESDAY MORNING
Took What Was Due Him Out of
Profits of His Firm and Disappeared
Gave No linking of His Plans.
Not Even When He Bade His Part
ner Good Nisht-A Queer Case.

The sudden and mysterious diSap-
pearance OF Oscar e. Clearinghouse. who
since he parted company with his bus
mess partner, Mr.. j. D. Holiday, on
avenue. Monday night, has not been
seen by friends or family, is causing
friends in this city considerable concern
as not a word or sign OF his where
abouts has been learned. What makes
his sudden departure peculiar is that
so far as any of his relatives or bust
ness friends know there is no cause
whatever for his going.
So far as known the last time he
was seer was early Tuesday morning
when Clearance Gallagher, a'busman for
McCombs Bros, saw his board North
western west bound passenger No. IL.
Officer Clark, or duty in the depot dis
trice during the night, also thinks he
saw a man about midnight who answers
the description given him Of CARING
house. His friends do not believe any
thing has happened to him, but his
business partner, Mr.. j. d. Holiday,
thinks that ne contemplated going all
day Monday. This he judges from lit
tie things he did during the day, which
were not as he usually did hem Mr..
Clearinghouse is the manager Of the
firm of N. w. Wilson & Co., and to-
gether with Mr.. Holiday went to wit
ness the performance Of king Dodo'
Monday evening. The two gentlemen
went to the office after the perform
ance and remained there for about an
hour, talking over business matters.
They then started home and separated
at the corner OF Third avenue and
State street. Mr.. Clearinghouse lives
with his family, a wife and four chill
dren, at 303 Bromley street. He did
not go home however, and after his
absence was discovered Tuesday morn
ing it was thought for a time that per-
haps he had gone to visit his mother,
who lives at Sandsprings. Delaware
county. He had mentioned a few days
before that perhaps he might go and
visit her as she was in poor health.
AS he was seen boarding a west bound
train this is not thought unlikely. Mr..
Holiday when seen today said that he
knew that his family relations were
of the very best, and that there
relations We're in every way
The business was on a pay
basis, and he was certain that fl
troubles of any kind We're not
responsible for his going away. The
firms books were gone over Immediately
after his departure, and 1T was found
that al! his accounts balanced. and he
only drawn from the firms money
the day he left, just what was coming
to him, and not a penny more. Other
than his family he has n brother,
Edward, who is employed by the Let's
Fletcher Company. Mrs. Garlinghouse's
Mr.. and Mrs. N. w. Wilson, re-
side in the city.
Until something definite is known as
to Mr.. Garlinghouse's future plans his
business interests here will be looked
after by his brother-in-law, Mr.. A. C.
Wilson,.

ship Merger Until Spring.
The township merger. which has been
under consideration by the board of SUI
pervisors for the past few days, in lieu
of the annexation of a portion of Linn
township. east of the city, by the city,
will not be made until the April session,
or early in the summer. The board has
the matter under contemplation and is
Of the opinion that the consolidation of
the small portion Of Linn, now east OF
the city, should be made and form a
part of Marion. That will square up
Marion to the ordinary size of town
ships in the county.
The board finished the work of its
March session Thursday afternoon. Blu,
little outside of the ordinary routine
was accomplished. The bonds of the
various justices of the peace n con-
stables of the county We're approved,
and the insurance of county property
was attended to. Thirty thousand dol
lars worth of the county's insurance OF
the court house, Jail and county farm
buildings has just expired, and all Were
renewed. This gives the county insur-
ance for $685. 900 On the court house ant

History Set Right.

Editor T.-R.: Mr.. Greene'S political
enemies are circulating the story that
he introduced a resolution before the
council to the effect that all city en-
|ployes should be required to work ten
hours for eight hours lay. The reso-
luton upon this subject introduced by
Mr.. Greene, on June 16, 1902, is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That all labor employed
by the city other than Salaried officers
shall be employed by the hour instead
or by the day"
AT the time this resolution was in
troduced Mr.. Greene made the explana-
ton before the council Chat he was in
formed by laboring men that the city
vas paying employees a days wages
whether they worked a whole or a part
OF a day. and that they would be will
ing to work for the city inc receive pay
for the actual time employed, and it
was in justice both to this city en-
pay according to thu hours they
worked. and to the city which was IN
ploying them that he offered the resolu-
ton. Notwithstanding this explanation
the resolution was rescinded at a sub
sequent adjourned meeting, during Mr..
Greene's absence.
On July IA, 1902, Mr.. Greene intro
Guced an ordinance entitled, AN ordi-
nance regulating prices paid for labor
and that part of the ordinance which
refers to the employment of labor is as
follows:
1T shall be the duty OF the different
departments of the city council, which
are authorized to employ labor, to fix
the price of such labor from time to
time, as occasion IA require, at prices
with those paid in the city of
Marshalltown for a similar or like serv-
It would seem that there is nothing
in the ordinance which permits of the
construction placed upon 1t by Mr..
Greene's opponents.
A fair interpretation OF the language
used would be that MI. Greene is in
favor of paying the city employees. as
well as all other employees paid by the
heads of departments, the highest
wages paid for a like or similar service
to other laborers in the city, whether
carpenters, masons or day laborers.
That is to say. if laborers, whether
union or non-union men, We're receiving
for a days work of eight hours q sum
of $3.50, the city mus. pay the same
wages, and if they We're receiving for
work at the rate of % cents per hour,
or whatever price fixed for any labor,
the city must pay the ame Besides
that, further along in the ordinance, a
provision is made that for services rem
dered after 6 p. m, for quite often en-
ployes work until 6 o'clock, and on
Sundays, and are paid orly pro rata for
the extra time, under the ordinance in
troduced by Mr.. Greene they would re-
ceive one and one-half rate for such
extra labor. Such representations as
these, when the evidence to contradict
them is in writing n on file in the
city's clerks Office, is poor material for
stories. .. M. SPEER

wHlsKEy VS.. COFFEE.
a Woman Experiments.

Some families have sad experiences
with whisky. Probably twice as many
families have sickness and distress
caused by coffee mi the cause not
suspected half the time.
A woman from Tacoma, Wash, says;
zone of our family had become so ill
that the doctor finally pronounced him
|incurable from enlarged liver. He rec
commended a sea voyage which might
prolong his life but said it was only a
question of time when he would die
from the disease.
He was %dreadfully nervous thin,
could not sleep at night, lost flesh and
strength daily and everything he ate
or drank soured on his stomach. He
was so weak and faint he could hardly
walk about.
1 finally came to the conclusion that
coffee made the mischief so took coffee
away from him altogether and next
morning gave him Postum Food Coffee.
He steadily began to get better and has
never had a SOU stomach from that
time. He now sleeps all night where
he used to suffer the agonies of death.
He has gained over 20 pounds and is
we'll and strong.
My little boy was given coffee at an
early age and he began to have spells of
sickness at times. ] did not suspect the
trouble until my experience with Pos
tum opened my eyes,, then l took coffee
away from him and gave him Postum
steadily. If you should see him now
and see how we'll and strong he is
you would not believe it was the same
puny boy he was when he was drink
ing coffee.
Postum with him to the gold fields of
Alaska. He says he met some men up
there who had run out of Postum and
could not drink coffee. They offered
him as high as twenty dollars a pound
for the Postum. He said it was worth
forty dollars a pound to him for 1t gave
him strength to endure the h~ardships
and that he would not part with 1t at
any price until he could get more.
Now about my own case. ! was a
sick, nervous woman and did not sus-
pect it was coffee, but from the eXper-
fence 1 had gained about w years ago
/ quit coffee and took up Postum Food
Coffee. My appetite improved. l can
eat any thing, have no indigestion, and
have gained about forty pounds in the
two years.
L know of a man whose eyes were SO
affected by coffee drinking that he was
going blind. The doctor suspected coffee
to be the trouble and ordered him
to quit and take on Postum Food Coffee.
The change produced a great change in
his eyes. He gradually got better and
has now left off his glasses altogether.
He would have been stone blind II he
had not quit coffee and taken up
