UNION WANTS ONLY
LOCAL MEN EMPLOYED

somewhere other than Washington.
These are two big jobs. and If Washing
ton workmen had received the contracts
for dressing the stone, the Washington
business men would have profted there
by. Having had those two plums snap
ped from their mouths while they were
waiting, the local stonecutters have
opened their eyes, and are alert now
lest the Municipal Building stone be
dressed by others than Washingtonians.
Experts on marble cutting say the
best way to erect building of stone or
marble is to have the blocks sawed out
at the quarries and to have them dress
ed at the place where the building is
to be erected. When the stone is dress
ed out of town it usually gets Clipped
or broken, and sometimes the blocks
do not fit.
A white marble building on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, recently erected. was
built of stone which was dressed at the
quarry. and the experts say they can
point out thousands of Clipped and
patched places, which make the build
ing a veritable eyesore to skilled me-
chanics.
Argument Advanced.
It is argued that the District Commits
sioners should not have the new NUM-
cipaI Building stone quarried and dress
ed in such a fashion as would make the
completed structure bear any resem
blance to the building which the experts
speak of.
The petition which the Journeymen
Stone and Marble Cutters have prepared
has been taken to almost all of the
prominent business men of Washington
and they have been asked to sign it.
Daniel A. Conner and A. T. Campbell,
two energetic members of the organiza-
ton, were appointed at the last meeting
of the union to go among the business
men and submit the petition to them.
Although these men have worked only
a short time, they have more than 1000
names, to which hundreds are being add
ed daily. Out of all of the persons that
the representatives have visited not one
has refused to sign, and it is believed
that what the business men of the city
heartily sanction the District Commits
sioners should.

GEN. WESTON'S CONDITION
STILL CAUSES ALARM

Despite somewhat encouraging re-
ports from Johns Hopkins University
the friends of General Weston are still
much alarmed concerning his condition.
A message by telephone received this
morning at the commissary department
states that General Weston was some
what restless last night, but that he is
improved this morning.

It was said today that there is no
precedent before the Supreme Court Of
the United States upon which it can rule
in the Western Union wire destruction
cases. 1t is reported, however, that as
the destruction affects the public welfare
the Pennsylvania Railroad may be ad
judged in contempt of court.

Marble Cutters Petition for
Municipal Work.
CONTRACT MAY SOON BE LET
Many Prominent Business Men Favor
Move-Fully Three Thousand
Names on List.

The Journeymen Stone and Marble
Cutters, of Washington. have prepared
petition relative to the letting of a
contract for marble cutting for the new
Municipal Building. and will present 1t
to the Commissioners of the District be-
fore the awards are made.
Members of the Stone Cutters Union
say that between 5000, 900 and $500, 900
viii be expended for having the rough
stone dressed after il is sent here
from the quarries in Maryland or Vir-
GINA If out-of-town workmen are en-
ployed to dress this stone, It will take
all of that $500, 900 or $500 900 out of the
District OF Columbia On the other hand
If Washington workmen do the work
and get the money, Washington business
men, and taxpayers will reap the bene-
fits.
Soon to Be Let.
It is believed the contract for the
work will be let some time this month
and the marble cutters wish to get their
petition in the hands of the Commission
ers before that action is taken. A Phil
adelphia architect, 1t is said is making
up the estimates for the various sorts
of work to be done on the building, and
the marble cutters believe that it will
not be long before the contracts are
awarded.
When the Willard Hotel was erected
the marble and stone was quarried, and
dressed as we'll. out Of Washington, and

Sunday afternoon, George John,
son and Jos. Christana, went to lake
Ocheda duck hunting which termin-
ated fatally for the first named.
While they were on the lake in
a small fiat bottom boat about six
O'Clock and opposite Wills slough,
johnson stood up. in the boat and
shot at flock of ducks. As he shot
he lost his balance and fell out into
the water and upset the boat, throw
ing Christana out. They both caught
hold of the overturned boat and
hung On for about twenty min
utes, when johnson started to swim
in an easterly direction and for the
shore about half q mile away. He
went only about ton feet when he
suddenly sank and came up three
times. Christina not being swim
mer was powerless to render any
assistance and the horror of the
sight of a man drowning and un-
able to give any aid can be better
imagined than described. Christina
called for help and parties who
were about half mile away came
to his relief. When, taken ashore he
was nearly stiff from being in the
cold water so long.
Why johnson started to swim
ashore is not known as he said
nothing about doing 80 but simply
let go OF the boat and made toward
shore. He was considered good
swimmer, but had on hip boots,
heavy coat, sweater and box Of
shells in his pockets, all of this nat
urally overloaded him, besides hewas
chilled from being in the cold water
Had he chung to the boat awhile
longer he would have been rescued

RANSOM.

Mrs. Shepard leaves this week for
Hubbard county in the. northern
part of the state. She goes to visit
her parents, our former townspeo'
pie. A number Of her young friends
called on her before she went away,
and spent very pleasant evening.
Mss Carrie Sorem left on Mon
day for Jewell, TO-, where she will
resume her studies at the Lutheran
college at that place. Carrie speaks
very highly Of the school, Of both
teachers and students, and no
doubt it is a very good and safe
place for young people to gain an
education. When parents send their
sons and daughters from home to
attend school they like to know
something about the kind Of place
they are going to, and this certain
~, is all right. Do We ever stop to
think of the far reaching influences
which have their rise in the schools
of our countrys How different in
this respect today! Many of us
can we'll remember the time when
tho majority Of our rural schools
were faithfully typified in the"Hoos-
Ter Schoolmaster," and when the
farmers son or daughter who receiv-
ed a high school education, even,
was the rare exception. But now
the opportunities of higher educa-
ton are better than ever before,
and our people are not slow to seize
upon the golden opportunities and
make the most of them. I cannot
but think that all this promises we'll
for the future of our country.
Through the courtesy of my good
friend F. T. Graves, was privilege
ed the other day to see a letter
from our old friend and neighbor,
Mrs. D. C. Holmes. Mr.. and Mrs.
Holmes are living at Essex, Page
