TO REMOVE SHOPS.
Rock Island Will Deliver Body Blow
to Valley Junction.

Des Moines, August 8.---Within the
next six months the Rock Island will
complete the removal of the shops of
the Iowa division from Valley juno
ton to East Moline, Ill. This report
was given out on good authority in
Des Moines but. officials Of the road
refuse to confirm 1t beyond the state
ment that the policy Of the road was
to make the Moline shops, on which
they have spent about 100000 dur.
ing the last two years, the principal
shops of the eastern part OF the sys-
TEN.
This will mean the removal of about
four or five hundred men from Valley
Junction and will also be a severe blow
to Des Moines as the retail merchants
here have secured the bulk of the trade
of this class. 1t will remove the big
gest factor in Valley Junction and will
be a severe blow to the prosperity of
the town If it DOES not kill 1t COM
pletely.
1t Is not known yet whether the re-
moval of the shops will mean any
change in the divisions. If it does, 1t
will take about two hundred more
employees from there, men employed
in the operating department
Valley Junction will not be the only
point affected by the change, the old
b., c. r. & N shops at Cedar Rapids
suffering a like fate.
The prospect of a removal of the
shops from Valley Junction comes as
a thunderbolt to the interests OF the
town. A few Des Moines parties have
known of it for f>w months, receiv-
ing an inside tip from an intimate
friend of the powers that be" in Rock
Island management in order that they
might dispose of property which they
owned there. The removal of the shops
will mean great depreciation in the
property Of Valley Junction
The very life of Valley Junction de-
Ponds on the Rock Island railway. The
monthly pay roll OF the shops there
has totalled something like 100000
This taken from the revenue of the
town will mean something to the mer-
chants and business interests.

Buildings Before Firemen Can Ala

Glidden, Aug. S.--A disastrous FIRE,
the second within a short time, re-
suited in the death of two men, A. w.
and w. f. Hobbs, who persisted before
the alarm could be given them, and
the destruction of property to the
amount of over $4,000, at l o'clock a.
m. The cause Of the blaze is unknown,
and, from the lack Of evidence, may
not be.
The blaze was first discovered by
Agent Flansburg at ! o'clock. Look
ing north from the depot window he
saw flames creep over the roof of the
City hotel on Main street. He at
once gave the alarm, but before the
fire company and citizens could reach
the scene the whole structure. which
was frame and dry as finder, was COM
pletely enveloped and the flames had
spread to the adjacent buildings.
w. c. Harvey, the proprietor, and
his wife and hired girl, all occupying
rooms on the lower floor, barely had
time to save themselves. A. w. and
w. F. Hobbs occupied one of the up
stairs bed rooms. They failed for
some unaccountable reason to make
their escape and were burned TO dca tn.
Their charred remains were taken
from the ruins after the fire had burn.

The fire spread rapidly and entirely
consumed five buildings as follows:
City hotel, owned by l.. NJ. LvOrs,

BIG FIRE LOSS AT ALBION.
Town Was Nearly Wiped Out OF
Existence,

Marshalltown, Aug. 4.-The most de-
structive fire that has occurred in this
county for years, at midnight Tuesday
night broke out at the Kubuka & Com.
pany drug store at Albion. little
town seven miles northwest of this
city, and very nearly wiped the little
town out of existence.
The fire spread rapidly and was
soon beyond control. AS near as can
be learned the conflagration started on
the outside of shed in the rear of the
drug store, and while no investigation
has been made officially, persistent
rumors are afloat to the effect that the
fire was Of incendiary origin.
The flames spread rapidly to the
buildings north in the same block, and
in very short time about $4,000
worth of property was reduced to a
smoldering mass of charred timbers
and ashes.
The buildings, with one exception.
were of frame construction, and that
building was only veneereu, aIiu urI
those facing High street, the principal
street in the town, in the same block,
from street to street and back to the
alley. were completely wiped out, and
had it not been for few large trees
that broke the force of the heat and
flames, and plenty of hard fighting,
the fire would undoubtedly have
jumped the street and destroyed all
that part of the little town living north
of the drug store in which the fire or
iginated.
The buildings of the Odd Fellows
and Masons, the best in the town,
were among those destroyed and the
Woodmen of the World lost their out

$50 MEN LAID OFF.
Rock Island Road Lets Out Large
Number of Men.

Nunper or Men.
Des Moines, Aug. Reconsideration
was caused in Valley Junction yester-
day by about one hundred of the Rock
Island shop employees receiving sum-
mary notice of an indefinite layoff.
The shop authorities were unable to
give the men any explanation of the
order, stating that they were merely
carrying out orders from head
ters.
Many of the men laid off were old
employees. having homes of their own
in the city. The reduction of the
force affects all departments, many of
the men being high class mechanics
and drawing big wages
There is a variance as to the num-
Der of men laid off. Some of the shop
officials last night stated that less
than seventy-five were laid off, but
others claimed the number exceeded
$50.
The order seems to be a general
one, affecting the entire system the
Cedar Rapids shops being completely
closed. The local officers of the COM
pany last night stated that they had
no knowledge of the matter, but sup.
posed that it was part of the re-
trenchment policy in all lines.
They claim that there has been a
constant reduction in the number Of
employees in all departments since
June l, the slump in business COM
polling the company to reduce the ex,
penditures.
Last night they stated that they did
not think the layoff would last more
than two weeks. that the men would
be gradually taken back when the
new grain crop began to move and
business picked up.

WIFE HAD NO DIVORCE.
DeveIopm in the Shooting of Iowa
Boy in New York.

Boy in New York.
New York. Aug. 5-A new feature
of the Central Park shooting mystery
that has been kept secret by young
Samuel l.. Dana of Fairfield, Iowa, and
the disappearance of his wife, Mrs.
Dignon-Dana. who proves to be the
divorced wife of a Seattle man, is
what happened in CAP ride that
Dana and his wife took on the night
before the shooting. They were &C
companied by a man and woman in an
other cab, after Dana and his wife had
had a quarrel at her hotel about the
attentions she was receiving from an
elderly man. 1t developed today that
one of Dana's rivals wrote to the wo-
mans first husband that his wife had
married again, end that the shooting
occurred right after Dana had received
a letter from the Seattle husband,
stating that he was coming east. Dana
is now rapiuIy recovering.
That Dana shot himself few now
believe. That in proclaiming his
wound self-intiicted he acted to pre-
vent the dragging of a certain young
woman's name before the public in a
police investigation is now the gener-
ally accepted view, but beyond that
the most searching inquiry has failed
to penetrate.

ing the soltion of the mystery
