WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
Iowa Central Carmen Refuse the
COmpany's Offer.

Marshalltown, Oct. 20.-The end of
the Iowa Centra4 carmen's strike
seems to be almost as far off today,
despite efforts to bring about a settle
ment, as it was week ago. Although
the company has so far withdrawn
from it's former position as to offer
to remove John Green, the foreman
Objectionable to the carmen, pending
the outcome of the arbitration, the Of
fer has not been accepted by the
strikers. A similar, although less
yielding offer, was made to the strik-
ers' committee Thursday afternoon,
which was also refused.
Whether the latest proposal of the
company will be accepted late this af-
ternoon, after it has been discussed
by the strikers, is not known, but
company officials confidently believe
it will not be. At the conference yes
terday afternoon the representatives
of the local union and e. J. McGighe,
an organizer for the National Associa.
ton of Car Workers, who is here, held
unyieldingly to the strikers original
demand, that nothing short OF the
permanent removal of Foreman
Green would satisfy the men.
Offer Authorized by Noonan.
General Superintendent d. c. Moo
nan was in the city again yesterday.
He passed through on his way from
Oskaloosa to Minneapolis, and, hay.
, ing been advised of the failure of the
strikers committee to submit the con-
troversy to arbitration, he authorized
Mr.. Feeley to notify the strikers that
Foreman Green would be removed
temporarily until the board of arbi.
tration should return its finding. Mr..
Feeley presented this offer to Mr..
McGighe and a part of the commit
tee, but it was not accepted, and there
was no intimation given that it would
be later, although it will be undoubt'
edly taken up by the union as a
whole. Mr.. McGighe could promise
nothing, however, and even intimat'
ed that it would not be accepted.

this morning and demolished things
generally. The horse freed himself

belonged, rescued the wagon and
making noise like a motor they fur

it back to the Cook shop on First
avenue west, where they turned 1t
over to the owner. Mr.. Cook show

-Mahaska county has a good reas
on to feel proud of the manner in
which the business of the county has
been handled by the officers who have
had charge of matters for the past
two years. Honesty, efficiency and
economy have been the rule all along
the line. AS a consequence there will
be a rousing vote Of confidence this
fall. With a united party and a first
class ticket the republicans will see
that this county takes high rank with
the other republican counties of the
state.

FURNISHING HOSPITAL
Two More Rooms Spoken For, Max
Four In ALI.

At a meeting of the hospital board
Saturday night pledges were receiv-
ed and accepted for the furnishing of
two more rooms in the new building.
HI. s. Howard announced his intention
to furnish and maintain room as a
memorial to his father, Henry How
ard, one of the pioneer business men
of Oskaloosa, and prominent citizen
of the town for many years. Mrs.
Rnea Oppenheimer also informed the
Board that it was her intention to fit
up room and care for it. This
makes four rooms in all that have
been spoken for, the other two being
one by Mrs. G. B. Stull, and the other
by the Ladies of the G. A. r.
At the meeting also the Board, in
conjunction with the advisory board
of physicians, and the building com
mittee, closed a contract with Smith
& Wetherell to be the architects for
the new building. Mr.Wetherell, who
planned the Y. M. c. A. building, the
Episcopal church, the Public Library,
and other Oskaloosa buildings, will
draw the plans himself. He submit,
ted sketches to the meeting Saturday
night and the general outline Of the
building was accepted. The structure
W Il have a frontage of 6S feet and
will be As feet deep. 1t will be three
stories above a high basement, and
will be built of Oskaloosa brick, with
metal or slate roof. The building
alone, exclusive of the heating plant
plumbing, elevator and furnishings,
will cost $4,000. By the time the
institution is entirely completed and
ready for occupancy it will represent
an investment of $4,000 to $4,000
This is more money than the board
has in sight now, but they feel as
sured that the necessary funds will
be forthcoming as the work pro
crosses and the beauty and utility ol
the institution becomes impressed or
the minds of our people.
Plans and specifications for the
foundation are to be gotten out a.
once, in order that the contract fol
this part of the work may be let i'm
mediately, and the work done yet thi:
fall.

little evergreens will be assigned to
duty, and the Queen of the Home
Castle can look out from her throne in
the kitchen or dining-room with the
consolation deepening in her heart
that home of love can also be made
a home of beauty.
Home! What sweet, tender SYM
pEonies of love cluster around that
charmed word. 1t may have been the
little sod shack ON the prairie that
has developed into the modern house,
colossal barns, broad acres and fine
herds, and yet. memory will wander
back and linger long with the love
devotion and toll of that early home
making. How many hopeful, strong
young hearts are starting hand in hand
confident or their own roof tree in
the near future. Help them along.
Cheer them on the way. The sooner
they can hang the crane ON their own
hearth jam the better. The Dove of
Peace and the God of Love linger
longest near the home acquired through
industry and frngality. The nations
strength, security, peace aud happl-
ness lies with the home builders, the
home makers and the home lovers.
DEBORAH, nestled so costly among the
hills, is a peaceful, happy little city
of homes, where it is good to be, good
to live, yes, even good to be remem-
| bered.
l congratulate you individually and
collectively, as society as being the
most hopeful organization of the kind
in the state for our locality. Your
poverty is your wealth. No discord
or jealousies in your ranks, no tinseled
honors to grasp for, no grindstone to
bear heavily upon, no axes to grind,
and yet, you are rich in the con-
seriousness of patriotic duty to your
selves and fellow citizens. Let us be
ever mindful that the harvest is ripe
and the hands are few. Heed the
lesson of the lark--dont' wait for out
side assistance. Investigate deeply
into Natures mysterious storehouse,
where there lies so many fruitful
germs of faith that ourlabors will
surely be rewarded.

Shall We Plant an Orchard1

This question has been given to me
by the society to answer, and ! shall
in few moments dwell upon this
question. Why should not we plant
the apple in region that is so rich in
native trees and plants as in this
locality? Why should we not plant
the apple in this part of Northern
Iowa, which has the soil ana northern
slopes just adapted for an orhard?
Why should we not plant the apple,
which is the king of fruit, and no
other fruit can take its place. just
think for moment, an apple pie,
the baked sweet apple, apple butter,
apple sauce and even dried apple pies.
What is more enjoyed on long winter
eveningwhen your neighbor drops in
for an hour or two for social chat
than dish of fine apples? Is there a
finer ornament for your center table
than the beauties the orchard yields?
But / hear good many say we
should not plant an orchard because
pple raising has been largely failure.
Sure enough; we now and then have
failure in raising apples, and we
also have failure in raising corn,
oats and potatoes, and every thing
else. But shall we give it all up for
bad job, because we now and then
have failure. / remember when I
first came tn Fayette county thirty
years ago the old farmers were plant
ing some small patches of corn with
a hoe and cultivating with one-horse
cultivator. To my question as to why
they did not get corn planter and
two-horse cultivator, the reply was
that corn raising in Northern Iowa
will never pay. Nothing but wheat
would pay. Corn raising in Northern
Iowa would be too much of a failure
and never paw. 1t is now time to prove
that those who claimed that corn
growing could never pay were in error.
Nearly twenty years ago planted
out something ever three hundred
apple trees. The largest number were
Wealthys and Walbridge, which have
for years borne good crops. but there
are ten to twelve of some other var
ieties which have not borne an apple
yet. But shall we give it up because
some one by lack of experience. in
selecting varieties or location for an
orchard, has not succeeded?
l may say further that farming,
merchandising, bee culture and or
charding are all failures in Northern
Iowa in the hands Of men who are
not educated in the special business,
and give it all up because they have a |
failure. 1t is not necessary for me to
say that these are not the men that |
succeed in any business. But ninety |
nine cases out of one hundred will |
succeed who will try and try again,
just as we will try by experimenting
try by raising seedlings that are at
home and adapted to our soil and
Try and make apple culture |
pay by frequent and liberal study and |
work of muscle and brain.
