heen in the water since last fall, but
vas in fair state of preservation. al
tho the features were somewhat disfig-
ured. 1t was taken in charge by Coro-
ner Christman and an inquest held
yesterday.
1t developed that the remains were
those of Nels Nelson. a farmer whose
home was near Hillsboro. n. D., and
in the opinion of the jury he was MUIR
dered. Wounds on the head, evidently
inflicted by some blunt instrument,
were the cause of DEATH the body be-
ing subsequently thrown into the river
in an eddy that prevented It's being
swept down stream.
Nelson came to this city on Oct. 16
last year with team of ponies, which
ne traded for heavy horse. leaving
the animal in local livery stable.
Since that day he has not been seen or
heard from.
When last seen alive he had $400
which he displayed freely about the
saloons. besides two gold watches, one
of which he offered to dispose of to
A friend.
The body was without coat or vest

Union Apprentice Restrictions Dis
cussed in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Mimi, April Sin a
discussion here over the effect OF the
unions on the boys. who are shut out
from learning trades, both sides are
much agitated.
.'The boys who are idle on the streets
and in the usual loafing places, or who
are shooting craps in the alleys, are
bows who do not want to work. said
Joseph II. Ellis. deputy labor commits
sioner. The discussion has brought out
facts that some unions exclude boys
altogether. This phase of the problem.
which is facing the public school au-
thorities and those who stand for the
welfare of the youth of the land, Is
given by John M. Rogan, business
agent Of the plumbers union. He
frankly admits that his union, as
means of preservation, has entire
ly eliminated the apprentice system,
and that there is no place for boys in
that union.
Acting on the advice of the Master
Plumbers Association. we did away
with the apprentice system in 1894"
said MIR. Rogan. AT that time so per
cent of the plumbers were walking the
streets. We have reduced the idle
number to Is per cent. If / have two
sons and am earning from $4 to $3.50
day, I'll give them an education and
then let them shift for themselves.
TherelI be no apprentices among the
plumbers for a long time to come"

Grinnell. April S.-Last night at the
l. o. o. F.. hall there was meeting of
the commercial exchange to hear the
reports of the relocation committees
and to take such further action as was
deemed best to secure the result for
(which so much energy has already been
expended. The managing committee of
five reported, the report was adopted,
and the committee discharged. A new
permanent committee of three, ii. F..

was added, at the suggestion of the
chairman, by special vote of the Com

after a number of different proposals
had been turned down.

There is some feeling of resentment
because the bill which provided for
adoption of the indetermiEate sentence
and the parole system was held up in
committee from the first day of the
session until the last week before 1t
was allowed to come before the legis-
Iature. OF course 1t failed after such
treatment No opportunity was given
the friends of the measure to push 1t
thru the legislature or to get it's mer-
it's fairly before the members. 1t is
a measure advocated by the Iowa AS
sociated charities conference and sim
liar bodies.
The work of making improvements
on the state capitol will be paid for by
direct taxation. The bill has attached
to it provision for a specific levy of
tax for such purposes This will
place the state tax levy above 8 mills.
An important bill which has now
passed both houses is one relating to
the appointment of a state agent for
work in procuring homes for children
instead of having them kept in or
phanages. The idea Of the legislators
appeared to be that it Is far better for
child to be reared In home where
it may become practical in all things
than to have it reared in even the best
state or charitable institution. The
plan to be followed is that Of other
states where home finding agent is
maintained to great advantage.

Il wish you could in some way re-

Conditions There Said TO 30 Very
Serious at Present Time.

ST. Petersburg, April S.-The terri
BE sanitary condition OF Harbin, which
Il Is feared will lead to an epidemic. is
revealed in dispatch to the Novosti.
The matter is OF particular Importance,
In view of the fact that Harbin is the
center OF the Russian military and
civil authority in Manchuria. All the
troops pass thru this point and all
provisions and medical supplies are
brought there.
Arrangements have been made for
Harbin to become the first station for
the sick and wounded during the war.
Despite dry spring and summer and
peaceful conditions in cne territory last
year. there were cases Of cholera and
typhoid. the further development OF
which was stopped by the November
frosts.
The chief cause OF the contagion is
the water Of the Sungari river and the
shallow wells which are located In un-
sanitary places. Another source OF
contagion is that filth has not been
satisfactorily disposed Of In winter
but lies exposed above the ground in
the heart of the city. the streets being
filled with refuse.
Protests have proved unavailing be-
cause Of the prosecutions of persons
for publicly referring to the existing
conditions.
