Lloyd Writes to Mother.

Ottumwa families are daily. hearing
from the Pacific coast that their rela-
tlves and friends are safe and sound,
the recent disaster failing to include
them among its many victims. While
many families have received commun.
ications from the west, there still re.
mains large number of former OF
tumwans who have thus far failed to
communicate their situation.
Mrs. j. A. Phillips has received A.
letter from her father, Major Horace
Bell, from Berkeley, dated April 20, in
which he tells in the following man
ner Of the escape of his daughter, Mrs.
Frank Walsh, Mr. Walsh and son Over.
ton, from the Palace hotel, in which
they the wsfs stopping upon the the day Of
awakened them at BIB a. m. in their
room. The ceiling burst open, the
walls shattered, plaster covering the
floor, bed and everything. They did
not rush into the halls with the Shrek
ing mob. They deliberately dressed,
packed their grips and walked down
stairs to the first floor from the fifth.
They went through the crowd in the
office room in somewhat of hurry,
did not even stop to pay their bill.
There is Bell bravery and self-posses-
sion. On the streets, grips in hand,
they took the middle of the right of
way to avoid falling walls, smoke and
flame, and went to Daisy's (Mrs.
Charles T. Overton.) Later they came
to Berkeley and are now safe with me. !"

beyond description.
"We were in large hotel down

that shall never experience anything
like 1t again. will not try to tell you
much Of the details as you 20 doubt
have had that from the papers, but
will say that 1t is miraculous that
no more we're killed as the streets
were filed with debris.
"The city hall was literally shaken
to pieces, as were a number Of other
places, and very solid looking places.

FORGIVE WILLIE.
IF He IS GOOD

New York, Nov. S-District Attorney
Jerome today made the following
comment on the recent election:
If Hearst had not undertaken to
sandbag the democratic party into
accepting him and had made himself
an integral part of the democratic
party, the result, in my opinion, would
have been sweeping democratic vic
tory He would have had a powerful
and important position in it. He did
not take the course, however, and
don't see how he can become a can
didate in the democratic party again.
The American people are always
willing to forget and to forgive Mr.
Hearst can do much. HIS papers have
powerful influence, and If he handles
himself with good purposes and judg-
ment in matters generally, he can
accomplish much good. He must
abandon the wholesale abuse of any
body and everything and must cons
fine himself to attacking in a clean
way the abuses which he wants to
assail His past offenses will then be
forgotten and forgiven. He could be
of service to the organization. He must
decide his own course, however"

CROKER COMMENTS ON HEARST

London, Nov. s.-The Dublin corr
respondent of the Standard tele-
graphs an interview with Richard
Croker on the result of the election

the outcome was much in accordance
with his expectations.
Il think the election will prove a
considerable education to Mr.. Hearst
said Mr.. Croker, land I am sure he
will profit by 1T, although defeated.
In my opinion Mr.. Hearst is bound
to be a factor in politics. If he
could have held his own vote and II
he had had the support of the in
dependent laboring men I believe he
would have been elected by zoo
plurality. He has made a remarkably
good fight and he mas reason to be
proud of it,
