OBITUARY.
Eli, son Of William and Mary Hol-
lingsworth, was born in Tippecanoe
county, Indiana. Oct. 6, 1881, and
died at New Sharon, Iowa, July
30, 1908, aged 81 years, 9 months and
"a days. His early days were spent
on his fathers farm. He attended
the schools of the neighborhood, and
spent one year at Friends boarding
school, Richmond, Ind. In 1874 he
was united in marriage to Eliza
Butler, with whom he spent the re-
naming years of his life in happy
union. To them were born two sons
and one daughter who went to her
rest at the tender age of seven
months, and has now welcomed her
father home. After marriage he re-
sided at Farmers Institute, Indiana,
within mile of his birth place, until
seven years ago when he moved to
Oskaloosa, Iowa. For four years he
resided here, and in March, 1900,
moved to his farm near New Sharon,
and again took up farming, which
had been his previous occupation,
His illness was long, but patiently
borne. He enjoyed good health until
q little over year ago when he be-
gan to decline; since last November
he has been confined to his bed,
hopeful of recovery, but ready and
willing to meet his Lord. He was a
birthright member of the Friends
church, and always remained in fell
lowShip Herewith. His manner Of
life was simple and unostentatious,
showing in his daily walk his en-
deavorito lead q conscientious Chris
tian life During his sickness he
meditated much on the Bible and its
truths, and expressed confidence in
Jesus as his Savior. In his last
severe illness he wanted to be lifted
higher" and expressed his readi-
ness for "going home" The life of
a faithful, devoted husband and
father has been an inspiration to his
family and friends. In their bereave-
ment they are comforted by the
thought of his present joy. Those
present at the funeral aside from the
New Sharon friends, we're: Mr.. and
Mrs. T. H. Butler, Darlington, Ind,
Mr.. Henry Butler and daughter, New
Providence, Iowa, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
r. N. Hamilton, Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Neighbors have shown their sym
pathy and given help in the time of
sorrow, for which the family feels
very grateful.

STRIKE HEARING
FINALLY CLOSES

Philadelphia. Feb. 1.-THE anthra.
cite coal strike commission, after be.
ing in continuous session for more than
three months, closed its open hearings
yesterday, with an all-day argument
by Clarence S. Darrow in behalf Of
the miners. The commission will meet
in secret in Washington next Thurs
day, and begin the consideration of its
award. 1t is expected that by the
end of this month the arbitrators will
be ready to make their announcement.
II an increase in wages is determined
upon, the increase is to date from the
list of last November. the commission
having decided upon that date on Oc-
tober 31st After the session to-day,
the commission held short confer
ence with the lawyers for the several
sides. and asked them to hold them
selves in readiness in case they are
called upon by the commission.
Mr.. Darrow in his speech paid
tribute to the organization which had
welded $4,000 men, who speak twenty
different languages, into one homo
genous mass. and he also paid high
tribute to President Mitchell and his
officers. In closing, he said:
This contest is one of the most
important contests that have marked
the progress OF human liberty since
the world began-one force pointing
one way, another force the other.
Every contest has been won by strug-
gle. Some men must die that others
may live. 1t has come to these poor
miners to bear this cross. not for
themselves. but that the human race
may be lifted up to higher and
broader plane than it has ever known
before"

CLOSING BATTLE BEFORE THE
COAL STRIKE COMMISSION

and all the sufferings it entailed, and
said:
Il shall apologize for none of the
mistakes of the men, but | do say 1t
does not become their accusers to call
them criminals"
He went on to tell of the operators
refusal to give the men more money.
and said;
las a consequence of this act 147,000
men laid down their tools of trade and
we have seen 100000 men, women and
children reduced to want and starva-
tion for six long months. We have
seen the President of the United
States appoint this commission 10 set
tie this difficulty. and then, this after
noon, in the last hour of this proceed
ing. the man more responsible than
any other comes before this commits
sion and says he will do exactly that
which the men demanded nine months
before. and which they, in their blind
ness, their ignorance and their stupid
ity refused. Why did not MIR. Baer go
to Mr.. John Mitchell nine months ago
as he came to this commission to-day?
You can do just as you please about
recognizing the union. If you do not
recignize 1t, it is because you are blind
and you want to bump up against 1t
some more. That is all. 1t is here to
stay. and the burden Is on you and not
upon us. There is neither the power
nor the disposition in this court, take
it. to destroy the union. And If these
agents of the Almighty cannot see the
union. they had better blunder along
still few more years and possibly af-
ter while they will know 1t IL hero
and recognize 1t themselves
Passing to the wage statements
handed the commission. Mr.. Darrow
said the operators have been deceived
by their own accountants. and that
when Mr.. Baer informed the senator's
of this state. the President of the Unit
ed States and the commission of how
much wages his men were getting, he
gave them information at least thirty
or forty per cent. beyond any facts
that really existed.
only "a per cent of all the Read
ing's skilled workmen get $500 a year:
thirty-three per cent. get between $500
and $500. and fifty-eight per cent OF
all the men who appear on the pay rolls
as contract miners get less than 5000
a year. or this fifty-eight per cent. a
large number worked only a small
fraction OF the year"

Denver. Feb. 1.-THE Republican.
in an article on the Moffat road. says
the daily rumors of new terminal ar
rangements for the road have become
annoying to d. II. Moffat and those
Interested with him in the enterprises.
1t goes on to quote Mr.. Moffat as say
ing:
81 am tired of hearing all these alb
surd stories about our road being con-
nected with the Rock Island or the
Burlington or the Union Pacific. or
that have arranged a deal for termi-
nails with the Northern Securities Com
pany or James J. Hill. never saw
Jim Hill but once in my life. and l
never did any business with the North
ern Securities Company. You can
state absolutely that there has been no
deal or arrangement of any kind with
the Rock Island. Burlington or Union
Pacific, or with any other road.
THE fact is that our road is indie
pendent will be its chief strength.
There is no alliance of any sort with
any other system. So far as the stories
about terminals are concerned, there
is no truth In them. 1t need not be
supposed that we have overlooked the
matter of terminals. however. When
the time comes we will have all the
terminals we want. j have had no less
that five different ways offered me of
getting into Denver But at present
nothing has been decided on. AS
matter of fact. l believe that most of
these ridiculous rumors of terminal ar
rangements have been inspired by peo-
pie who want to sell us land or hold
us up in some fashion"
Mr.. Moffat again took occasion to
deny the report of the purchase OF the
Colorado & Eastern. what In the
world would we want" said he. "of
q road running east from Denver? Our
road begins here and runs west and
we have no use for the Colorado &
Eastern, even for terminal purposes"

CARNEGIE OFFERS
AID TO VENEZUELA

Washington. Feb. 1G.-Moved by the
spirit of which Herbert w. Bowen has
conducted the peace negotiations at
Washington with the Representatives
of the allies, and anxious that his mis-
sion should succeed, Andrew Carnegie.
upon hearing of Germany's action in
demanding cash payment of $34O. 900
instead of the $275, 900 previously
promised her. sent the following mes
sage to Mr.. Bowen, dated February
18th:
Il shall be glad to hand you over at
once $340,0O0 to meet the German de-
mand if Venezuela desires it."
This fact became known tonight
after the last of the addenda to the
peace protocols had been signed at the
British embassy.
Mr.. Carnegie, it is said. has been
watching with close interest the prog.
ress of the negotiations here. Tha
message was sent as soon as the news
of Germany's demand was published
Mr.. Bowen dispatched a grateful re.
ply to Mr.. Carnegie. thanking him for
his generous offer. which, however, II
was not necessary to accept.
In announcing Mr.. Carnegie's offer.
Mr.. Bowen said that many banks and
financial syndicates had all along been
anxious to lend money to Venezuela
and had sent representatives to see
him with this end in view, though
these were, of course of a business ma
ture. whereas the offer of Mr.. Carnegie
was made without any reservation or
mention of security for the return of
his money.
