Iowa city, July 1S.--The manufac-
turers and business men of Iowa City
will ask the Interstate commerce COM
mission to name an equitable rate on
coal between this point and the coal
fields Of southern Illinois and Missouri.
in consequence of an enormous adj
vance in freight rates which has just
been made. 1t 1t possible that this
will be the first test of the legality
Of the Hepburn bill passed by the last
session of congress.
The old rate to Iowa City was $40
per ton, and this has been increased
to $500. Except for a 10 cents advance
made last fall the increase has been
made in a lump sum. and the effect
in the factories of the city can easily
be ina gined.
The first notice of the increase came
with consignment of coal which
reached Iowa City, billed to George
Hummer, local dealer, 1t came from
southern Illinois, via East st. Louis.
Local officials Of the Rock Island say
that they had received no notice of the
increase, but the billing shows that
the charge is from East st. Louis on
ward, having been raised from $1.70
to $3.50. The local dealer refused to
pay the rates, and unless it develops
that there was an error somewhere,
this will be made the basis of an APP
peal to the commission.

WESLEY IRWIN PARDoNED.
Orphan Boy Who Was Sentenced
Twelve Years For Murder Is Free.

| Shenandoah, July 1S.-Wesley Irwin
left the Fort Madison penitentiary yes
| terday, having been pardoned by Gov
ernor Cummins. He has served four
| years of sentence Of twelve years for
murder. He was an orphan, not quite
| 49, when sent to prison and few peo-
pie who knew him ever believed he
| was guilty of the crime charged.
| One bitter cold moring in the middle
OF December, 1901 man who bore the
appearance of tramp, was found
murdered in the sand house at the Wa
bash depot on the outskirts of Shen-
andoah. His head was terribly beaten
with some iron instrumental broken
poker-and was lying with his feet and
legs out the door. The feet were froz-
en- Altho life was not extinct, he did
identify his assailant or tell how it was
done. Three boys had been seen around
the depot, sand house and coal dump
at - o'clock that night. They We're
Ed Dennis, Eugene Mason and Wesley
Irwin. All were near the same age
and only one, the first named, over 81.
They were arrested and tried in the
district court In May following the
crime. Each had a separate trial, be-
fore a separate jury. Dennis was con-
victed, Mason was cleared, and Irwin
convicted-all on precisely the same
evidence, which was wholly circum-
stantial. The boys stoutly maintained
their innocence and altho kept apart,
their stories tailed exactly. There
was slip In the wheels Of justice
somewhere. The one most likely to be
guilty went free.
Last May Wesley Twins sister, Mrs.
w. H. jameson, living at Lincoln, Neb.,
interested herself In seeking a pardon
for him. A large number Of citizens
here signed the petition, which she
carried to Governor Cummins, who
readily granted the pardon, and sent
telegram to Mrs. Jameson that the
boy would be released on the 18th.
Wesley bore good character before
his conviction and most people here are
thankful to the governor for pardoning
him.

SUICIDE DUE TO HERolSM.
Husband Seeks Death to Arouse Sym.
pathx For Redridden Wife

Waterbury. Conn. July 1S.-"When
am gone people will feel sorry for my
poor girl and they'll take better care
of her than 1 shall ever be able to-"
said john W. Hills. Then he swallow
ed a dose of morphine. The doctors
think they may save his life.
Hills is AN employee of the Water
bury Buckle Company. His wife is a
helpless invalid. who has been confined
to her bed for ten years. The hus-
band has worked early and late, with
almost fanatical energy, to give his
wife medical attendance and the few
pitiful little luxuries she must have to
keep her alive.
In twelve years Hills has not miss
ed day at the factory. Every morn
ing he arose at o'clock in order to
wait on his wife, prepare her break
fast and make her comfortable for the
day. Since the woman first fell Ill he
has been her only nurse, servant and
means of maintenance.
Twice they have brought Hills home
from his work in state of complete
nervous collapse. On some Of these oc-
casions he clutched in his hands tiny
bunch of flowers he had purchased at
florists to brighten the invalid's
room.
OF late Hills has seen the battle go
ing against him and has grown morose.
If anything happens to me what will
become Of her?" he c.-ed to a friend
who visited him one day.
She will be provided for" replied the
friend.
This gave Hills the inspiration for
his sacrifice. He conceived the idea
that by destroying himself he would
arouse public interest in his wife's con-
dition dad increase for her the atten
ton of charitable folk. He brooded
upon this plan until it became deter
mination. Then he purchased the NOR
phine, put his few worldly affairs in
order kissed his wife tenderly and
swallowed the drug.
Il thank God my husband has still
been spared to me" said Mrs. Hills.

Mcbride, a section hand on the Rock
Island, found a pair of gold balances,
such as are used for weighing gold and
precious stones, and with them a pair
of very fine saws
Mcbride was walking along the
track when he noticed just beside the
roadbed very small black oblong
box hardly three inches long and less
than two inches in width and depth.
Opening it, he was surprised to find a
delicate. set of scales with sixteen
weights; measuring the fractions of a
pennyweight. With the set was pair
of fine saws with minute teeth, in fact
so fine was the saw edge that it was
almost Impossible to detect it without
holding the blade against the light
1t is theory of the police that the
set is the property of one gang of the
counterfeiters who has been operating
in this city for about three weeks
