In the Local Field.

In common with the remainder Of
the 100000 coal miners from Pennsyl-
yania to Iowa, the members Of Oska.
IoOsa Local took a half day off Tues
day afternoon and voted upon the
question Of the reduction proposition
referred TO the individual mine work
err by the Indianapolis conference.
There was a quiet but great interest
taken in the matter locally and every
member, almost, voted his private
opinion on the matter before tle
close Of the polls at six o'clock. Over
one hundred of the one hundred and
twenty workers in the local union
came to the polling place in the court
house and cast his vote.
The ballot was canvassed by the
telIers Tuesday evening but the re
suit is not given out to the public. 1t
was sealed and sent to the national
headquarters at Indianapolis where II
will be counted today and Thursday
and therefrom announced.
The general opinion here prevails
that the mine workers of Iowa will
not vote to strike. The Iowa condi.
lions are in the main satisfactory
and there would have been no trou.
BILE in a renewal Of the present con.
tract with the operators. The con.
tract now in force expires April 1,
but the state organizationI was NOT
permitted to enter in a new contract
with their operators until after the
result Of the vote on the indianapolis
proposition had been annQHnced.
They will reconvene Bn Monday
and will confer with TIE operators on
Tuesday, at whic9/time the Iowa con
tract between mime workers and op,
orators will be considered.

MARRIED ALL THE SAME.
A Case of True Love That Had a
Hard Road to Travel.

Sigourney, March 16.-News has
reached here CT a sensational affair
at Coal Greek, which proves the old
adage that true love sometimes runs
over rocky roads and stormy seas, but
gets there just the same. Ed Strauf-
fer, of Thornburg, and c Miss Swift,
of Coal Creek, secured a marriage H.
cense and expected to consummate
their happy dreams. Relatives raised
sucl a storm Of objection that Straur-
fer concluded to end the matter by
the Russo-Japanese route, and secur-
ing a revolver he fired five shots at
himself, two of which took effect, but
did not strike fatal part. There
upon the relatives capitulated and
the marriage proceeded with the flag
of peace floating ever the battlefield.
