A SAND PLANT.
George Carton Prepares for Busy
Seasons Work.


George Carbon has leased the prop
erty east of the Iowa Central tracks
between High and A avenues and he
will have place here for the hand
ling of sand, cement and building ma
terial. A switch will be built into the
place by the Central for the convent
ence of handling the material.
Mr.. Carbon has formed company
for the handling of sand. A plant will
be put in at Eddyville for the taking
of the ma terial from the bed Of the
river itself. Mr.. Carbon intends to be
independent of the floods and high
water hereafter and will have sand
with which to do his work, water or
no water. He has purchased machin-
cry for the plant and the same will be
in operation in the near future. The
sand digger is in the shape of shell
like scoop, operated on a cable by
steam power. 1t runs out over the
river to the desired point, descends in
to the water, scoops up a square yard
of sand, runs back to the shore and
deposits it's load upon car or in a
wagon as desired. 1t will handle a
load per minute. t.
Mr.. Carbon will begin work upon the
Oskaloosa paving as soon as the
ground can be worked. He will have
plenty of sand and will not have 20
put up with the annoying delays that
were experienced last year.

improvements on the Iowa Central
Have Been Resumed.

Work on the road bed Of the Iowa
Central is in progress between oska-
loosa and brighton, under the per-
sonal direction of Roadmaster Terry
of this city. The 'spots" that have
been causing annoyance and delays are
to be fixed up and then the men will
be placed on the work north of the
city.
Preparations are now in progress
for the opening of the work north of
the city by the first of next week. AS
many men will be worked as can be
handled to advantage. About two
hundred men will be placed on the
work as soon as all preparations have
been completed. The shovels will be
started next week with anything like
favorable weather and the work will
be pushed just as fast as weather con-
ditions will permit.

WORK TO BEGIN SOON.
Iowa Central Will Shortly Continue
.-...- Improvements.

1t is expected that by April 1st, or
soon after the Iowa Central will have
under way the track improvements
commenced last season, which they
were unable to complete last fall ow-
ing to the lateness of the season. The
steam shovels are at present in the re-
pair shops, where they are undergoing
a thorough overhauling to get them in
shape for the coming season, and the
company is calling into Marshalltown
the gondola cars that have been in use
during the winter Tor the coal traffic.
These cars will be dismantIed at Mar
shalltown and stripped for service in
moving gravel and earth. While some
lines have been experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty in securing sufficient
help to begin work, such has not been
the case with the Iowa Central, as it
was necessary for General Roadmast-
err Shelley to make second trip to
Chicago to prevent the labor bureaus
from sending him more Italian labor
ers than he had contracted for. One
gang has already arrived and has been
placed at work ballasting on the east
ern division near Coppack and Marsh.
For this work the company is utilizing
The old burnt clay ballast, which was
gotten ready several years ago by
General Manager L. M. Martin, but
which had never been used. 1t is
said to make excellent ballast, and it
is estimated that there is enough on
hand near Clay to ballast fifteen miles
of track. Another week or two will
probably see their work under full
sway.

trict has been received by the Cover.
nor. The resignation was accepted
yesterday, and H. Shivvers, Of Knox
vile, was appointed as his successor
The resignation will take effect April
4. The resignation of Mr.. Sewers is
due to the fact that he has gone into
business and finds it inconvenient to
give his time to oil inspection.
Mr.. Sewers has been employed with
the Hooking Coal Company for some
time past and the nature of his duties
has been such that he he has been UNI
able to care for the business attendant
upon the office Of oil inspector. He
will remove to Abba or Hooking in
the near future, but his plans in this
direction have not yet been determin-
ed.
The young man has been suffering
with inflammatory rheumatism during
the winter. He was recently COM
PEELED to take to his room on account
of the severity of the ailment and on
Monday he was taken to Colfax for
treatment. A letter from his wife,
who is with him, to his father, Mr..
Geo. w. Sewers, this morning, states
that he is much worse and the physi-
clan says it will be several days be-
fore he can be moved on a stretcher

SENSATION AT ALBA.
Two Revolving Crimes Are Brought
to Light in Court.

Abba, March 2S.-This city has been
stirred from center to circumference
by two revolving cases that have just
been brought to light through the JUS
tees courts. One of the cases is that
of George Sanders, of Hooking, who is
in Jail here awaiting an investigation
by the grand jury on the charge Of
having attempted to rape little 15-year-
old Mary Richardson.
According to the statement Of the
little girl she had been working at the
Saunders home on account of the ill
ness of Mrs. Saunders. Early one
morning she states that Mr.. Saunders
came to her room and attempted to
commit the crime. She states that
she gave the alarm and that before he
had harmed her, Mrs. Saunders came
into the room.
Accused of Incest.
The second case is that against
Howard Flanagan, prominent far
mer, who has just been indicted by
the grand jury on the charge of incest,
preferred by his eighteen year old
daughter According to the state
ment of the daughter, Grace, the faith
er has borne illicit relations with her
for some time, but through fear it is
stated that she has been compelled to
keep silent until recently.
News of criminal accusations came
to the many friends of Mr.. Flanagan
with a great shock, as he has always
been highly esteemed by all who knew
him.
