FORM TOMBSTONE TRUST.
Dealers of Iowa Acknowledge Pur-
pose of Coming Convention.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 1S-With the
avowed purpose of perfecting an organ
ization to control prices in the tomb
stone business the marble and granite
workers of Iowa will hold a convention
in this city. The call was issued by
John Fields of Creston and it is ex-
peeted some so dealers will be pres
ent.
One of their greatest protests will be
against the freight rates imposed upon
them by railroad companies transport
ing rock from the quarries. COMPETE
ton, they charge, has become SO keen
that business is in many places ruined
and can be reestablished only by
agreement on prices. Some of the To-
cal dealers have refused to participate
in the meeting.

his son job, but that he did so. not
from mercenary motives. but in order
to give his son chance to see public
men and public life. Concerning the
employe matter Mr.. Bennington says:
Probably no part of the work of the
house has been more criticized than in
the appointment of employees. There
were about 230 appointed, probably 40
more than was needed There were
fewer than two employees for each
member. Some members secured places
for their wives, some for their daugh-
tiers, some for their sons, myself among
the latter number.
I gave the clerkship of the commit
tee of which l was chairman-con1nit-
tee of education-to a bright young fell
low from Burr Oak who rendered me
excellent service. I secured a position
in the document room for Mankato
BOY and a position as assistant door
keeper for my own son. Some of the
employees worked all the session, some
did very little; some worked most of
the tlme-my own son in the latter
class. He was absent eighteen days out
of the fifty days he drew pay. He was
among those dropped at the end of the
ffty days, although the session lasted
about one week longer than the con-
stitutiona1 limit; and for which, the
members do not get pay, but the en-
be frank with the people of Jewell coun-
ty. 1 believe 1 made a mistake in fol-
lowing the custom Of appointing a rela
tive to place on the pay roll. 1t was
not mercenary motive that prompted
me to do so. 1t was not for pay, but
the opportunity to see something of pub
lie life and of public men. 1 thank the
Republicans of Jewell county for the
honors they have bestowed upon me. I
believe never have and l trust never
shall ask them for anything they are
not perfectly willing to give. 1 prob
ably made mistakes, but tried to serve
them well.
THE senate had 1873 employees, or
1-3 employees for each member. Re
member the house had less than two
for each member. Did any of the MEM
bers of the senate appoint or secure the
appointment of their wives, sons or
daughters to places on the pay roll?

Geneva, N. Y, Feb. 1s.-John Mulvey,
the 10-year-old son of Michael Mulvey,
is a somnambulst. One morning re-
Gently the boys father, who keeps
watch over him at night, went to his
room and found the bed empty. He
searched the house, but found no trace
of him. One of the outside doors was
open. and the father continued his
search outside. Presently he found
prints of the boys bare feet in the
snow. The tracks led toward the Lee
high Valley station, which is not far
from the house.
He had almost reached the station,
when he saw the boy walking in the
drenching rain, which froZe as it fell.
He was in his night clothes, and his
pet dog was trotting beside him.

GUILTY OF HERESY CHARGE
Boston University Man Is Acquit-

NEW CHARGES IGNORED

NEW YORK. April SIN the New York
East Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church to-day the committee to which
had been referred the charges of heresy
against Professor Borden p. Bovine, of
Boston University, reported that they had
found that none of the five specifications in
the charge had been substantiated and that
they had therefore acquitted him. This
closed the case, as the action of the COM
mittee was final.
The charges were made by the Rev.
