Sons Of Wealthy Chicagoans Supposed
to Have Been Drowned.
Fish Greek. Wis, Aug, Is The sup
posed double drowning Of two boys,
sons of wealthy Chicagoans, became
known yesterday when r. H. Parkson
Of Chicago engaged a tug to seek the
bodies of his sixteen-year-old son. Jel-
son, and a friend named Montgomery.
The boys went sailing Sunday last,
and have not been seen since. Tuesday
the boat drifted ashore containing
only young Parkscn's clothing, in
which was a letter from his father.
The finding of the clothing in the
boat is considered sufficient evidence
that the boat did not capsize, and the
manner in which the accident occurred
is a mystery.

The fact that the campaien

The fact that the campaign in
Iowa this year is being waged almost
entirely on national issues, makes it
of especial Importance and gives it a
direct bearing upon the campaign
which will be carried on next year. If
the democrats make gains on these
issues this year they will be encour-
aged to try harder next year. Iowa
is a banner republican state and this
fact ought to be instrumental in get
ting out the republican vote. No re-
publican wants to see the majority
reduced, for should this occur, Iowa's
standing in the national republican
party would suffer. All that is neces-
sary to keep up the majority is to get
out the full republican vote, and this
depends largely upon the individual
effort Of each and every republican
interested in the welfare of his party.

LACEY AT eRINNELL.

Grinnell Gazette: Congressman
Lacey was in the city Friday to adj
dress the students at the regular Fri
day morning chapel service. The
major spoke words of praise for the
progressiveness manifest in our city,
and said he was much surprised on
visiting Arbor Park to find there a
real lake instead of small stream
damned UP as he had expected to see.
He also suggested that Grinnell
should have a few blocks of paving,
but said without doubt that would
soon come. The major coming here
for the only purpose of addressing
the students of Iowa college was not
talking politics. However, in re-
Spouse to other remarks he spoke in
terms of praise of Governor Cummins'
opening speech, saying it was a clean
cut, republican speech.
The subject of his address before
the students, Congressional Lead
ers," was reminiscent, the major re-
calling anecdotes and humorous things
about congressman and some of the
more prominent men who have served
there. 1t was along humorous rather
than serious line, far more concrete
than abstract. His "hits" and spark
ling wit was pleasant diversion from
the generally serious Friday morning
talks

A REAuTIFuL pEATH.

H. A. Burrell in the Washington,
(Ia.) Press: Jennie Conner. daughter
of Samuel Conner, died at s o'clock
Saturday night. She was born here
in June, 1868. When girl, in her
early teens, she suffered an attack OF
tuberculosis. 1t affected the spine,
and she was crippled and an invalid
for over twenty years. But such a
glad, sunny girl as she was! The hap
piest creature in Washington, during
all those years of pain! Delighted
every day that she was alive. Had so
much to live for. Life to her was as
sweet as ripe nut. Her CHEEKY Ce-
meanor was constant sermon to all
who observed her, and shamed all
who are strong and well, and yet peev-
ish and complaining. There was no
lapse in her gaiety.
Saturday afternoon she sent for
this one and that one, who was spe-
cfally dear to her, and wanted to
talk and say Goodbye" Her talk
was CHEEKY; she would like to live,
she said, but she could not, and she
was, therefore, glad to so. But she
wanted to shake hands before setting
out on the long journey. She had no
fear This world had been pleasant
to her, she said, and she was sure
she'd go to still better one. It was
well nigh divine, certainly it was holy
and blessed, to hear the simple child
talk about the mystic journey. Her

TOYING WITH TREASON.

One OF the most contemplate
trades of abuse that has ever die
graced the columns of the local press
appears in the current issue Of the
Oskaloosa Record. The article which
is published as original with the ed
itor is not only disgraceful libel On
the President of the United States
but is an attack OBJ the Government
as well, and comes rs near treason as
utterances can go without breaking
into criminal courts. 1t is well for
the publication that conditions of toe
country are tranquil, as for a less
offence an OskaIoosa printing ontflt
was at one time dumped into the al.
ley, and the editor forced to apologize
to the soldiers whose country and
president he had abused.
A few userps suffice to show the
animus of the article, and disgust
even the members of the party which
the Record processes to represent 1t
says in part:
The present occupant Of the
white house furnishes the first ex-
ample in the history of the republic

all occasions with the uncertain
and nonsensical agility of the noun
tebank, untrammelled by either

Under his direction his body

spirit, expresses desire TO see the
president. "a crippled little Bos-
ton girl put in the time that was

on Entered and Robbed.

New Sharon, Oct. 3.-Burglars en-
tered the store of Day G Swisher
Bros. Wednesday night and carried
off considerable quantity of miscel-
laneous goods and small amount of
cash. Entrance was made by prying
open one of the south windows and
climbing down over the shelves. The
grocery department cash register was
forced open and ten or fifteen dollars
was extracted. Several tailor-made
suits, furs, watches, etc., went into
the sack. That it was not the work
of professionals was evidenced by the
fact that valuable silks and other
goods usual taken were unmolested.

COAL OUTPUT.
Six Million Tons Were Mined Dur.
ing the Past Year.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 3.--The output
OF coal from Iowa mines fer the year
1908 was more than 100000 tons
This fact is brought out in the report
OF the state mine inspectors for the
biennial period ending the Both OF last
June. The exact total output for the
year was 6,1S5,724 tons, larger than
any previous year, and exceeded 1902
by nearly 100000 tons. The output
in 1902 was 5,514,206. The report
shows that the coal mining industry
of the state made greater progress
during the past two years than in a
like period of time since the COM
mencement of mining in Iowa. The
year 1903 has been especially prosper
Gus and this Notwithstanding the fact
that the number of mines being work.
ed has been reduced In 1902 there
We're in operation 1874 mines, while in
1908 the, number had fallen to S13,
but the total output had increased.
There has been a slight decrease IN
the number of miners employed in
the state but the total number work
ing at the mines has increased from
1902 to 1892. During 1908 mines
were operated in twenty-three coun-
ties, and the largest yield was found
in Monroe countyA The output OF
Monroe mines was 1,600,14S tons,
while the smallest yield for the year
was in Davis county and was but g.
200 tons. The report shows that dur
ing the year 1902 there were IS fatal
and rs serious accidents in the mines.
The exceedingly large number of IA
tai accidents were due principally, il
is stated, to number of disastrous
mine explosions which occurred dur
ing that year, but 20 of the deaths
were caused in blasting operations.
In 1903 the total fatal accidents
amounted to 81, and those who were
seriously hurt numbered 58. 1t is
said no lives were lost this year
through explosions and the declara-
ton is made that the shot examina
ton law was a large factor in pre-
venting a loss of life, and its enact
ment has proved blessing to the OPP
orators and miners of the state.

was called to Ottumwa yesterday by
the serious illness of his sister, Mrs.
George Kerns. He reached that city
just in time to see the lady before

the death most unexpected and is a

friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Kerns were
building new home and for the time
being were making their home with
the lady's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.

but 80 years old and leaving bereft a
husband and little child. Mr.. Garner
has the sympathy of many friends in
his sorrow.
