Let the Fight Go On.

A telegram from Cleveland. o., says:
"A tremendous fight is brewing be-
tween the steel interests and the big
railroads of the United States. The
cause of the impending war is the un-
d%erstanding that the United States
Steel corporation Is planning to build
a railroad from Lorain to Pittsburg.
The railroads say that II this Is done
they will first refuse either to accept
shipments from or give business to
this road. In addition they threaten
to build mills with which to make all
the steel that is used by the railroads
that are represented In what is known
as the community OF interests" ,

The Synthesis of Crime

with a view to making the paper rep
resentative OF the average mentality
of the prison. But pride in its better
qualities worked out the selection OF
the fittest at the end, and we put III
best foot forward every time at the
pen of our creed. AS a result the
Star of Hope is indicative of the best
mentality of the prison population.
Contributors we're abundant. They
wrote on every subject under the sun.
As the ~convicts are, in fact, a mi
crocosm of the whole life OF a highly
civilized community numbering near
ly 5000, 900 souls, and include men
and women of every profession and
trade from nearly every country n
CLINE, this was to be expected. so we
received t%ranslations OF Homer, with
glossary notes, from university men;
the odes of Horace done n English
in faultless iambics, and printed spec
ulations upon the realm opened by the
discovery of radium written by men
who had lectured to the college classes
on chemistry. No subject came amiss'
and the educational value oil the paper
became apparent almost from the hrst
in the steady improvement ! n all
classes of contributions.
At first a large body OF contributors
seemed to think that literary produc'
ton meant poetry. n 1t Is no eNas-
eeration to say We received for every
issue of the paper as many as l'ooo
lines of verse. Gradually we were
able TO check this a%fluence m also
10 spread an intelligent conception OF
the poorest kind Of poetry we would
print. and in time we were aDle 10
offer to our readers in every issue n
or more very c%reditable compositions
of verse.
These differences are the common
Iot of the editorial guild, however, and

characteristic of the convict publica'
tion. It's composing roo contains

LIBRARY CORNER HoooooED.
Dire Happenings Confirm Belief That
Location is Haunted"

Council Bluffs, Aug. s.--Two acct-
dents which have occurred lately at
the site OF the new $4,000 Carnegie
library in this city, confirm a belief
that has long been entertained here
to the effect that that corner is hoo
dooed. Those versed in Council Bluffs
history recall several events Of the past
ten years to prove that the place Is
evil fated
Two brick houses stood on the site
until recently. one of which was erected
by w. II. Nj. Pussy, in an early day
and was his home for many years. Mr..
Pussy was member of the firm which
failed for large sum in 1900. His
partner died soon afterward, and he
himself went insane. He was taken 20
the state hospital at Clarinda, and his
death occurred some time later.
Dr. Fl. c. Pinney, son-in-law OF
Mr.. Pussy, lived in the other house.
Several years ago he was passenger
aboard Rock Island train which went
thru bridge near Lincoln Neb. DR..
Pinney was one of those killed in this
dire accident.

Trouble Started.
Special to Times Republican.

Jefferson, Aug 9.--The quest of Sher-
If Fred Anderson and his deputies Tor
evidence to clear up the mystery of the
strange disappearance of Mrs. Charles
Butterfield of Lanesboro was rewarded
at o'clock yesterday by the finding OF
bloody clothing in corn field near the
Rutterfield home The discovery was
at once reported to Mr. Anderson and
he left Lanesboro to take charge of the
clothing and ascertain If the articles
found were garments belonging to Mrs.
Butterfield.
The presence of Sheriff Anderson in
Lanesboro was all that prevented a
lynching bee In which no less than
fifty determined farmers OF northwest
tern Greene county would have particle
pated. Sheriff Anderson took under
his protection the person of Charles
Buterfield and got him away from the
determined men who believed Butter
field guilty of numbering his wife and
hiding her body in some secluded spot.
Mrs. Butterfield's disappearance
dates from the morning of the 18th of
July, or rather uuIlils tHS AtliShe oCiS'S =.
She and her husband. with their sew
eral small children resided upon the

Laughlin, who walked home in cas-
ual way with her. AS they approached
the house Mrs. Mclaughlin noticed a
strange man come up the road and
stop at the residence. She says: Who
Is that Mrs. Butterfield?" The latter,
considerably agitated replied. Why
It's Charlie" Mrs. Mclaughlin, know
ing of their previous trouble and not
wanting to mix in with their affairs,
said she turned away aud went home.
