Ripley, Ohio, March 14.-The body
of Miss Isy Matthews, aged is, a do
mestic in the family of Mrs. John
Beasley, was found in well on the
farm Of Samuel Taylor, near her
home, at ten o'clock this morning.

pair of ribbons were found near the
gate. Kelshs buggy has been found
and the floor and seat are covered
with blood. Kelsh can not be found.
1t is supposed he has gone to Cincin-

TEMPERANCE WORK.
Chairman Of state COMMITTEES Speaks
in Oskaleoss

w, d. Elwell, of Ames, chairman
OF the state central committee of pro-
hibitionists, delivered most inter-
esting lecture last evening in the
Congregational church to an audience
of two hundred people. A collection
Of $11.00 was taken, and the interest
displayed was encouraging. M. Ell
well says the condition Of affairs
throughout Iowa. and the United
States is more encouraging to the
cause Of prohibition than it has ever
been. In this state the party is en-
tirely out of debt and has on hand a
surpus of $1,20O.0O. Ira Kellogg, the
chairman of the evening, introduced
the speaker, who gave short history
OF prohibition and its evolution. The
remarks of the gentleman were made
in the form of direct, concise state
ments, easily understood by his audi
ence. Interest was added to the ad-
dress by the showing Of stereopticon
views and moving pictures. Mr.. Ell
well is out on seven weeks trip and
went from here to Delta.

NEW MANAGER.
(. r. Larson Will Succeed Mr.. Funk
in Hawkeye Lumber Co.

Isaac L. Funk, the efficient mana
ger OF the local yards Of the Hawkeye
Lumber Company, has resigned his
position, and will go to Chanute Kan
sas, where ne has some business in
terests that demand his personal at
tention. Mr.. Funk will be succeeded
here by e. F. Larson, OF Perry, Iowa,
who has arrived to engage upon his
new duties. Concerning Mr.. Larson
his home paper, the Perry Chief-Re-
porter, of March 3, said:
Among other important matters
that will come before the city coun-
Gil at its next meeting will be the
resignation and the election of a city
clerk. The present incumbent, Mr..
Ed f. Larson, has accepted a position
with the Hawkeye Lumber company
at Oskaloosa, and will have to go
there by the middle of next month.
Under the present administration
Mr.. Larson has been city clerk and a
very popular and efficient one he has
made, too, and it will be difficult to
find one that combines as many good
qualities for that important position
as he has. Whether the present
council will elect clerk or wait until
the new council is elected is a uues-
tion, but it is probable that the pres
ent council will decide to fill the va
cancy, since it is very probable that
there will not be any great change in
the politics of the next council.
Mr.. Larson has been a resident of
Perry for six years, five years OF
which time ne has been connected
with the McColl Lumber company.
He is thorough lumber man, and for
that reason has been selected 10 take
complete control and management of
the yards of the Hawkeye Lumber
company at Oskaloosa. This is the
same company for which Charlie
Marckress is the travelling auditor.
Mr.. Larson's departure not only
makes vacancy in the city clerk
ship, but it also effects two other Per
ry positions. 1t is understood that
Dan Flanagan, Of the Milwaukee de.
pot Office force, will take Mr.Larson's
position with the McCoIl Lumber
company, and that Harry CarhiIl will
be promoted to Mr.. Flannigan's posi-
ton at the Milwaukee depot.

The work of constructing third
tunnel under the Alps will be com.
pleted this year. 1t was inaugurated
in November, 1898, by the govern
ments OF Italy and Switzerland, the
two countries voting $15,O54,0O0 to
cover the cost The tunnel win be a
fraction over twelve and quarter
miles in length when completed, and
when the contemplated railway ex-
tensions are made will reduce the
time between Paris and Geneva by
three hours. It will also afford the
shortest and quickest route between
England and Milan, Italy, and it is
expected that in consequence the In
dian mails will be sent that way.
The st. Gothard tunnel, which was
constructed by Italy and Germany,
cost $13,510,00O.

BULK SALE BILL DEAD.
State Senate today Kills the Meas
ure by a Tie Vote.

Des Moines, March 15.-The senate
today killed the Courtright bill by a
tie vote Of 2l to 21. The bill was
known as the bulk sale bill and was
Intended for the prevention Of the
sale by retailers of their stocks of
goods inbulk for the purpose of de-
frauding creditors The bill was Bit
terly attacked by Senators Lewis.
Brice, Mclesberry, Garst and others
in hot debate The bill was back
ed by the retail grocers and hard
ware associations.
School for the Deaf.
A large delegation of Council Bluffs
people headed by Congressman Wall
ter i Smith appeared before the leg
islature today, to protest against the
removal of the state school for the
deaf from Council Bluffs, and to ask
for an appropriation Of s25o,OO0 for
the construction of new buildings for
the school.
New Bills Filed.
Senator Hopkins introduced a bill
today to furnish county auditors with
maps Of telegraph and telephone
lines.
Senator Stockey introduced bill
providing for a chemical fire engine
for the state house to cost $4,000.
Big Appropriations.
Indications now are that two I'M
pcrtant appropriations will surely be
passed. They are those appropriate
ing 100000 for the completion Of the
hall Of history and of S125.O00 for the
establishment Of an inebriate asylum
at Knoxville. The State Normal
school has asked for $S7,000 and is
likely to get it. The Ames and Iowa
City institutions have asked for about
a half a million each, and will proba-
bly, be disappointed to considerable
extent.
To Repair Capitol.
Tae legislature will appropriate
$122,000 with which to complete the
repairs on the state capitol made
necessary by the fire Of January A.
Such is the. recommendation of the
ioint committee of the legislature ap-
pointed for the purpose Of making an
investigation and reporting ON the
probable cost of restoration.

ARTIFICIAL FUELS.

Everybody who has spent any time
on the continent of Europe has mo-
ticed the economy proctIced by Euro
peans in the consumption of coal and
maryeled that the results should be
so satisfactory. To be sure, the lofty,
tombstone-like porcelain stove of the
Germans has chilly look at first,
and the cooler atmosphere of German
houses may give one a homeslck long
ing for the furnace-heated rooms or
America, but gradually the open
minded stranger comes to look with
approval on the European arrange
ments for keeping warm, and to won
der why his own people have not per-
ceived the beauty, the cleanliness, the
economy and satisfactory results that
some patent fuels have to recommend
them. That many Yankee has
turned the matter over in his busy
brain is attested by chapter on
artificial fuels in Edward w. ParEsr's
report on "The Production of Coal in
1902 which is about tc be publish
ed by the United StateA Geological
Survey as an extract fr0A tfiS> an.
nual volume of Mineral Resources.
Prior to 1902, about 400 patents had
been issued in the United States on
artificial fuels, but up to the close of
1901 none had proved a commercial
success. Mr.. Parker gives a list OF
United States patents granted since
January 1, 1902. 1t remains to be
seen whether any OF them will be sue
cessfully developed. The list In
cludes 81 patents, but contains no
mention of fuels made from petrol
cum or petroleum residue unless used
in connection with coal Ignite or
peat. Neither does it include any
compounds that have for their object
the increase of fuel efficiency unless
they are used in the manufacture of
the fuel itself. Three patents were
used on briquetting machinery.
The steady advance in the price OF
coal-no less than 40 per cent
which has taken place since 1898 has
stimulated experiments looking to the
invention of artificial fuels. Results
obtained in foreign countries from
the use of Ignite and peat in briquet-
ted form should encourage producers
in the United States to try similar
methods of manufacture. Small |
sizes of anthracite foal formerly vast
ed are indeed recovered now by
washeries from the old culm banks
and utilized. A large amount of coal
lostin the form of dust or finely pull
Verized material might also be put
into convenient shape for domestic
and slack now wasted
It many of the bituminous mines in
he United States might be used to
advantage if compressed into bri-
luettes. There are many indications
nat the time is not far distant when
.hese neglected fuel resources will
III be utilized.

IA money. says Henry Clews.
Funds are abundant and the surplus
reserve, which is larger than fo- sex
era1 years at this time, now stands at
$32.000.00 compared with only $780,
600 year ago. National bank circu.
lation is expanding with unusual "a,
pidity, the increase for February be-
ing $s,466,00O and the INCREASE ior
the last twelve months $47,50O,000.
With call money at present low rates
and good bonds sometimes selling on
a 5 per cent basis, while not few
good stocks are selling on almost
per cent level, there is not much
chance for further depression"
