TO SPEND $4,000
School Board will put That Much Into
Repairs on the Building Must be
Raised by Direct Tax This Year.

In conversation with number OF
the chool board the other day Dia-
mond Drill reporter was informed
that the board proposes to put about
So, 900 into repairs on the central
building Of the Crystal Falls schools
and that the repairs will be started
just as soon as this term Of school is
over. AS eparatory TO this expendi-
ture, they have engaged Architect
Hesse to 90 over the building and
make woking pans for the repair
work
We were further informed that the
board proposes OF rdd this extra s., 600
onto this years tax levy. which, will
make "a total tax levy of $94 000 the
highest tax levy that has ever been
made in Crystal Falls.
In explanation of this procedure
the member in question ated that
the reason that this extra tax was TO be
spread this year is the fact that the
district cannot boud for school pur-
poses until after January lst. 1904 and
that the only way in which the funds
can be raised Is by direct tax.

There was time when the height
of ambition III the hsart 81 an Iron
River youth was to beat Crystal Falls
in Il tase ball game. seldom how
ever, Was that ambition ever attained
foE while the boys from the west side
are experts in choring abont tae farm,
can out-eat any aggregation on the
earth on threshing day and have a
more precise knowledge of when to
wsau calf from the parent stem than
the boys over here they never showed
MP we'll with the pig skin and wagon
tvngne. Their shyness in the art of
the National game has been very irk-
some to them especially. when the
youth of Crystal Falls grew more ex-
pert year by year. So they got them
seyles to work to learn the game and
all last season they spent industriously
at their study They came TO the
conclusion last Sunday that they had
an opportuue time TO reap the laurel
they had so ardently nutured all OF
these days ana so sent an invitation
TO the Crystal Falls aggregation of ball
tossers TO visit them. It was a sort Of
spider and hy deal but the fly was to
fly and put the spider out Of business
The game was one sided affair
from start to finish. The farmer lads
were outcalssed while the miners let
down and played only medium game.
Nemachvek was put in the box more
to harden him mp than because they
needed him there He started in
easy and allowed the Farmers 20 run
in three scores in the first. They got
one more in the seventh and that was
the extent of It, The Iron River boys
have some good players and with a
good pitcher and a bracing up in the
field would put up good game.
For the Miners il was like getting
money from home Everything was
easy and everyone fattened his batting
average So lively were the balls
swatted down towards Stambaugh that
Billy Jobe got scared and sent man
down to the Baltic to nail boards over
the engine house windows
The boys report having had an ex-
ceptionally fine time. The Iron River
boys left nothing lndone to make their
stay pleasant one and they are all
loud in their praise ot the hospitality
shown. The score by innings is as

SENSATIONAL CASE AT AN END.
Miss Myrtle Daugherty of Davenport
Wanted $4,000.

Davenport, Jan. 31.-One OF the
most sensational damage suits which
have been tried in the district court
of Scott county has just come to a
close, the jury reporting in favor Of
tie defendants. Miss Myrtle Daugh-
erty one of the young society women
of Davenport, claimed damages for
injuries sustained as the result of a
fall through a trap door in the floor
of the Sweet & Minnehan shoe store
The defendants claimed that Miss
Daugherty contributed to bring about
the accident and that her injuries
were not permanent.
The court room ives crowded with
prominent society young men and
ladies during the hearing Of the testi-
mony. When the lawyers got per-
sonal and asked the fair plaintiff, who
herself too the stand, some questions
about her health she became hysteri-
cal and a carriage had to be called to
take her home. The physical eXami-
nation ordered by the physicians was
unexpected by ner and caused sem
sation. The claim was for $4,000.
The jury awarded verdict for the
defendants

Iowa City, Jan. 31.-Mrs. Ellen

Her attorneys will soon file an affida.

The people of the southern part OF

VENEZUELA AND PHILIPPINES
Formed Interesting Topics for Discus
sion at MEETING of Cabinet.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Two import.
ant subjects were considered at the
cabinet meeting yesterday. All the
members of the cabinet were present
Secretary Moody, having returned
from his brief vacation. His condi.
ton is much improved. Indeed he is
quite himself again.
The questions of most serious i'm.
portance before the cabinet yesterday
related to Venezuela and the Philip
pines. In connection with the Vene,
zuelan question the action taken in
congress for the Strengthening of the
coast defense Notifications and the i'm,
provement of the naval and military
establishments generally was referred
to and cordially approved. 1t is made
clear that the United States is not eX.
pecting and is not looking for trouble
but the administration is determined
not to be unpreparerd for any situa-
ton that may arise.
Some consideration was given to
the Philippine legislation pending be-
fore congress. Secretary Root par
ticularly is interested in this subject
and for considerable time before the
meeting of the cabinet was in confer.
ence with the president with regard to
1t. While it is recognized that the
legislative situation at the capitol is
complicated by the attitude assumed
by the senate in the statehood contest
the hope is expressed by officials of
the administration that the important
legislation demanded at this time may
be enacted

CRITICISM OF POWERS.
Venezuelan Newspapers Declare De.
nands Unjust and Unreasonable.


Caracas, Feb. 2.--All the newspa-
pers OF Caracas have published arti-
cles to the effect that the action of
the allies In imposing upon Venezuela
special preferential treatment in the
settlement of their own claims Is on
par with all their previous acts since
the beginning of the present difficulty,
namely: unjust and unreasonable.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press approached the members of the
diplomatic corps here asking for their
opinion on this phase of the matter.
Two declined to sreak, but a third
was willing to discuss the matter for
publication providing his name was
not used. He said:
THE action Of Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy in trying to impose
favored treatment for their claims, and
In demanding an immediate cash pay
ment, arises from the fact that they
know their claims are not well found
ed. My colleague, Mr.. Haggard (the
British minister), before his departure
presented claims to the Venezuelan
government on behalf of Great Britain
to the amount of only $4,000. The re-
mainGSr of Great Britain's claims
against Venezuela is not known What
this may be is problematical. 1t must
be remembered that schooners from
the British island of Trinidad have
been assisting the Matos revolutions
lists, as well as smuggling. and that
these vessels have rightfully been
seized by Venezuela. Great Britain
was sure beforehand that no tribunal
would recognize certain of her claims,
and therefore she wanted to force i'm
mediate payment.
Germany, for the same reason, does
not desire that the Disconto-Gese ell
schaft loan scandal shall become
known to the financial world.
THE Italians have no industrial en-
terprises in Venezuela. Italians here
are mostly agricultural laborers and
peddlarS; these have undoubtedly suf.
fered, but they claim SO for the loss
Of chicken and 500 for the theft of
of donkey. 1t can be seen why Italy
does not wish to have her claims dis
cussed by tribunal and prefers force
to reason.
"No belief should be attached to the
statement that France will abandon
her rights in the matter of her own
claims, which were obtained by an
terror diplomatic treaties with Vene-
zuela. I know upon good authority
that France is not disposed to capt..
ulate, and I hope that the United
States, which also Las claims against
Venezuela, will not crafty the allies
by accepting such treatment"
There was much excitement among
the foreigners here when it was re-
ported that the allies proposed spe-
cial treatment to secure the payment
of their claims. Americans, French
men and Spaniards met and protested
against the carrying out of such an
idea, and cable messages were ad-
dressed to the governments of the
United States, France and Spain, ask
ing for protection of their several
rights, and that the claims of the Pc
titioners be accorded treatment sim
liar to that given to British, German
and Italian claims.

PosToFFIcE AT DAYTON ROBBED
Safe Blown Open and Contents Taken
by Professionals.

Dayton, Jan. 30.-A gang of burg
lars blew up the safe in the postoffice
at tits place at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. The night Waterman heard
the noise in the postoffice and ran
to the motel, where he aroused the
landlord. The landlord took his shot
gun and the two men started for the
postoftice. Several shots were fired
at the robbers. The safe had been
dynamited and torn to pieces and the
postoffice building is badly wrecked.
There is no clue to the identity of the
robbers. 1t is believed that at least
half dozen men were implicated in
the raid.
When the landlord and the marshal
started for the postoffice building arm
ed with revolvers and a shotgun, they
met sentry who had been posted a
half block from the postoffice. The
sentry fred into them and then made
a quick escape. 1t is believed that the
robbers had sentries on either side
Of the postoffice in Main street.
The postmistress, Kate Warren, had
placed all the money and stamps in
the bank, except about $40 which was
taken in after banking hours and
which was secured by the robbers.

SULTAN WINS IN BATTLE.
Pretender's Troops Meet Disastrous
Defeat and Many Are Slain.

Tangier, Morocco. Feb. 1.-THE sui
tan's troops have utterly routed the
forces of the Moorish pretender and
captured Blu Hamara himself. A spe-
cial courier who arrived from Fee
brought this news. He reports that at
daybreak last Thursday the army of
the sultan, commanded by the war
minister, Ell Menebhi, attacked the
pretender's position and inflicted a
complete defeat on his following, at
the same time capturing Blu Hamara.
Inter.-Another runner who has ar
rived here from Fee confirms the news
of the defeat of the rebels, but says
that the report of the capture of the
pretender is incorrect.
He adds that it Is uncertain whether
Blu Hamara's body was among the great
number slain. The sultan's victory
WIS absolute, almost the entire follow
ing Of the pretender being either slain
or captured. His camp, provisions and
ammunition were taken and the artil-
lery, which was lost by the sultan 8
army in the battle of December 23, was
recaptured. Even If Blu Hamara es-
capped it is hopeless for him to seek to
retrieve his defeat. as his claim that
he is saint is exploded.

HAPPENINGS IN
HAWKEYED0M
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
CONGRESSMAN RUMBLE DIES
Passed Away at St Luke's Hospital, Chi
caSo, Where He Had Been Under Treat
ment for Throat Trouble OF Many
Months Standing.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Captain ]. N. w.
Rumple, member Of congress from the
Second district Of Iowa, died Saturday
morning at st. Luke's hospital from
an affection Of the throat. He had
been in Chicago for several months
taking treatment, and month ago
went to the hospital. His home was
in Marengo, Iowa, where he was a
member of the law firm of Rumple &
Hedges.
Captain Rumple was 81 years old
and had been a member of congress
for one term. He was born at Fos-
toria, Ohio, and went to Iowa when
a boy. He attended the public schools
and afterward entered Western college
at Toledo, Iowa, and subsequently the
State University of Iowa at Iowa City.
He was a student of the normal de-
partment of the latter institution. Be
fore coming to Iowa he had studied
at Ashland academy.
While a student at the University
of Iowa, in August, 1861, he enlisted
in Company II of the Second Iowa
cavalry, and remained in the service
until October, 1865. He entered as a
private and was mustered out as a
captain. He participated in the bat
ties of Island No. 10, New Madison,
siege of Corinth, Sheridan's battle of
Rienzi, charge at Pennington, luka,
Corinth, Grierson's raid, Tupelo, in
front of Hoods advance on Nashville,
Franklin, Columbia, etc.
After peace was declared Captain
Rumple entered the law office of the
Hon. H. H. Martin at Marengo, Iowa.
He was admitted to the bar in Feb
ruary, 1867, and was engaged in the
active practice of his profession up
to the time he entered congress, two
years ago next March.
Captain Rumple was a member of
the state senate at the adjourned ses-
sion of the Fourteenth general assem-
bly,, and was also in the Fifteenth, Six
teenth and Seventeenth general as
semblies.
Captain Rumple was a member of
the state board of regents of the Iowa
State university and spent a great
deal of his time in promoting the edu-
cational interests of his state.
Last summer his condition became
so serious that it was necessary for
him to come to Chicago for treatment.
On his arrival here he was examined
and pronounced incurable. At the time
of his death his wife and daughter
were at his bedside.

RoscuM CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Says Newspaper Tes
timony Was Admitted.

&
Des Moines, Jan. 31.-The supreme
court reversed the judgment of Judge
Smiths court in Des Moines county
in the case Of the state against David
Roscum, who had been indicted for
malicious mischief. The case Is of
importance because the reversal is
made on grounds that are compare.
lively new In this state
Roscum was accused OF having
taken thirty-six peach and five apple
trees from the farm of neighbor
named Anderson. There was little
evidence against him except the fact
that he was alleged to be a person
OF bad character and had been seen
hanging around the premises short
time before the trees were taken.
During the course of the trial the
prosecuting attorney repeatedly at.
tempted to have introduced evidence
which the supreme court says could
scarcely have been offered by any
lawyer in the belief that it was adj
missable." This evidence tended to
snow that Roscum had stolen geese
from neighbor and had engaged in
other acts of petty knayery. Later in
the trial Roscum was asked in his
cross-examination whether or not he
had stolen plums from cnother neigh
Dor. He denied this and evidence was
introduced to impeach his testimony
The court holds that the admission
of the latter evidence was error and
that the repeated asking of inadmis.
sable questions to show that the &C
cused was guilty of a separate offense
had the effect of injuring Roscum in
the eyes Of the jury. 1t is laid down
as general principle that the intro.
duction of evidence tending to show
the accused has been guilty of crimes
other than that of which he is &C
cused is error.
