MRS. DYE IS
NOT GUILTY
EVIDENCE JUST GATHERED Ex.
oNERATEs IOWA WOMAN
CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Boone, March 18.-Just before taking
the train for his home at Pierre, S. D.,
last night, County Attorney Goodner of
Hughes county, S. D., who has been in
Boone investigating the Rena Nelson
poisoned candy case, said that he was
satisfied he had solved the mystery of
the poisoning, but refused to give out
his theory. He said the developments
would come to light in day or two,
and that he does not suspect Mrs. Dye.
Farther than this Mr. Goodner re-
fused to give out any definite informa-
ton, but he as good as said that one
of two things must be the case. Either
Miss Nelson sent the candy to herself,
using for the address an envelope from
letter to herself from Mr.. Dye, or else
some one in Boone, who has escaped
general suspicion, mailed the package.
Mr.. Goodner intimated in way to
leave little doubt that Mr.. Dye is also
cleared Of suspicion.
cIoseted With MIR. Dye.
Attorney Goodner and Sheriff
Laughlin were closeted with Mr.. Dye
in the Wells hotel for two hours in
the afternoon. The interview, which
Mr. Goodner said was friendly through
out seems to have cleared up some
dark points in the minds of the South
Dakota officers.
Corroborative Of the theory that
Miss Nelson sent the candy to herself
is the fact that the postmark on the
envelope used as a wrapper bore a
postmark of Boone for January 1.
Mr.. Dye says he, sent Miss Nelson a
letter on or about that day. The post
mark on the package would not bear
any date, SO the envelope must have
been used before.
Mystery Of the Stamping.
The mystery of the stamping of the
package deepens. The stamps have
been used on the front of the package.
BY lifting up the edge of the second
stamp it can be seen that the cancel
lation line run under it, which proves
that the stamp was put on after the
envelope had been used on a letter.
But the cancellation marks on the sec
ond stamp are in lines which could
only be made by 9 machine, proving
conclusively that the second stamp
was cancelled before it was put on the
package. 1t appears then that the
postage which carried the package
| was on some other part of the pack.

WITHDRAWAL OF SENATOR
FUNK CLEARS ATMOSPHERE
when it might mean disaster to the

Representative Jones' Measure.
One of the most practical measures
which has been proposed in the present
legislature was that by Representative
Jones OF Montgomery county provid-
ing that the state agricultural college
shall act as a highway commission in
this state to teach how to make and
maintain good roads. The bill has
been reported back to the house by the
roads and highway committee without
opposition, a very remarkable thing
for this committee is one of the most
critical in the whole legislature and
has some of the warmest debates. The
bill if enacted into law will bring the
college and the people much closer
together. 1t really means that tsome
good roads can be built according to
scientific directions. The bill says:
Section l.. That the Iowa state col
lege Of agriculture and Mechanic arts
at Ames, shall act as a highway COM
mission for Iowa. who duties shall be:
1. The devise and adopt plans and
systems of highway construction and
maintenance. suited to the needs OF the
different counties Of. the state, and con-
duct demonstration in such highway
construction, at least one each year al
some suitable place, for the instruction
of county supervisors, township trus-
tees, superintendent, students OF the
college and others.
2. To disseminate information and
instruction to county supervisors, and
other highway officers who make re-
quest; answer inquiries and advise
such supervisors and officers on ques-
tions pertaining to highway improve
ments, construction and maintenance
and whenever the board of supervis-
ors of county adjudge that the public
necessity requires public demonstra-
tion of improved highway construction
or maintenance in said county, and SC
request and agree to furnish necessary
tools, help and motor power for same
the commission shall furnish as soor
as practicable thereafter, a trained ant
competent highway builder for sucf
demonstration free to the county.
3. To receive and distribute accord
ing to some uniform and equitable
plan to be adopted by said commission
any funds or national or state aid tha
may be provided and used for the pur'
pose of improving the public highways
Ito formulate reasonable conditions ant
regulations for public demonstrations
and to promulgate advisory rules AM
regulations for the repair and mainten
ance ofsthea highways.

indianapolis, Ind, March 1S.-Of the
l55,8S7 men who voted upon the wage
scale proposition submitted by the
coal operators to the miners, more
than $4,000 voted in favor of accepting

in wages of 5A per cent. The nation

To Sign Scale.
The joint sub scale committee will
probably meet here next Monday to
sign the scale for the coming two
years for the four competitive states,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania. The other states whose
agreements expire April 1, including
Iowa, will now be able to make their
scales and will make them in accord
ance with that adopted for the central
competitive field.
Illinois and Iowa for Strike.
Des Moines, March is. L. P
Joyce, vice president of the Iowa min
ers' union, states that Iowa voted by
a small margin against accepting the
reduction proposed by the operators
Illinois too, voted against the reduc
ton, the result there being almost two
to one. In Indiana; the vote stood
about two to one against a strike. The
result as whole shows that about
$4,000 of the 1876, 900 men voting on the
proposition were in favor of continu
ing work even at the reduced wages
proposed. s ',s
MitchelI's Influence.
The result of the vote shows very
plainly the influence exercised ovel
the thousands of coal miners all oyel
the country by their president, Johr
Mitchell. Though the operators of the
western states practically admitted
that they have no argument to suppor
their demand for reduction excep
the fact that their competitors are tt
get it, Mr.. Mitchell, with arguments
which appeal to the minor, won enough
of the workmen to his view of the mat
ter to secure decisive vote agains
