YOUNG PEOPLE DOING NICELY
Robert Shewalter and Miss Shumway
Resting as Easily as Could Be Ex-

peCteo.
Robert Shewalter and Abhie Shum-
way. of Marietta, the young people
who were struck by lightning Tuesday
afternoon, are doing nicely under the
circumstances, and so far hopes are
still maintained for the recovery of
both. Mr.. Shewalter's burns show
no alarming symptoms, and so far
there is no indication of peritonitis.
His nervous system is not greatly dis
turbed, and his appetite is good. The
burns on the groin. which are the
deepest, are showing effects of the
healing process, altho it may be that
grating will have to be done before
complete recovery is effected. That is
the only portion of the burned surface
where grating is considered as pos
sibility.
Miss Shewalter is still not rational.
altho for a time this morning it was
thought that she had regained COM
plete consciousness. She is very ner-
vous, and by the questions she asks
those about her it is known that she
does not even yet realize what has
happened, or why she is Ill.

stances of his employment in a Grin
nell hotel led to the suspicion that he
might be Ashworth. The man, whose
name was Lockhart, entered the en-
ploy of hotel about the time Ash
worth skipped out. and at the same
time young woman went to work at
the same hotel The girl answered the
description of Mrs. Ashworth i'll some
respects, and as Mrs. Ashworth had
been employed in Waterloo hotel for
some time prior to her marriage, Grin
nell people thought the pair might be
the one wanted here.

WILL MOVE FENCE
stockade About the Brownies Ball
Grounds to be Moved Back Fifty
Feet-The Work Will Be Begun at

The directors of the local base ball
association have decided to move the
fence which encloses the base ball
grounds at Finkle's park. The work is
to be commenced at once, probably to-
day. The fence, or that portion of it
which is int fair ground, will be set
back fifty feet farther.
When set UP again at the new dis
lance, the fence in left and right field
will be 335 feet from the home base,
and center field will be 345 feet. The
decision to move the fence was due
to more or less constant complaint
OF patrons of the game, who have held
that the fence interfered with felders,
and stopped line hits.
The moving of the fence will doubt
less prove generally satisfactory to
those who have objected to it's being so
close in,

RAIN PREVENTS GAME.
Rain Comes at $3.50 O'clock and Turns
Heavy Field Into Mud.

GvSdVy VlSs0 sus0 'S'NA'
1t rained at just the wrong time yes
terday, and the Brownies and Oska-
loosa could not get together in the
opening game of the series. Threaten
ing weather after 2 o'clock in the
afternoon kept away the crowd, so
that when the gate keeper passed
around the rain checks there were but
twenty-three handed out. Had it rain
ed an hour earlier or an hour later
the game would have been played, but
the fall was just enough to turn the
already heavy field into an expanse of
mud The Brownies had just about
finished their workout when the rain
came, and after it had continued for
a short time Manager Brown decided
the field was too muddy to attempt to
play the game, and the crowd went
home. The game will be played at
some other time, if the opportunity
presents itself. Umpire Risley, who
has been at Boone, is here to umpire
this and the Keokuk series, which be-
gins Saturday and lasts until Monday.

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of a cold are
dry, loud cough, a profuse watery dis
charge from the nose, and thin, white
coating on the tongue When Chamber
lain's cough remedy is taken every
hour on the first appearance of these
symptoms. it counteracts the effect OF
the cold and restores the system to a
healthy condition within day or two

WHERE is sNELLBAcHER?
Proprietor of Beobachter Disappears
and Whereabouts Are Unknown.s


Where is John Snellbacher? That is
what Editor Charles Beck, of the Mar
shalltown Beobachter, would like to
know. Mr. Snellbacher owns the Beo-
bachter, having acquired it from F. S.
Wild few years ago. Early this
month, on June 2, Snellbacher left the
city, ostensibly on a collection trip to
State Center and Des Moines. He did
not return when expected, but that
caused but little apprehension. AS
considerable time has now elapsed Mr..
Beck does not know what to think. The
paper has several creditors, and Beck
claims that Snellbacher has collected
considerable money in advance, on sub
scriptions. Mr.. Beck owns a mortgage
of 1852 against the plant, and
will run the paper indefinitely. Beck
has been editor of the paper ever since
Snellbacher bought it.

FOR An INCREASE IN WAGES
ALL FREIGHT HANDLERS At THE
PORT OF BUFFALO, N. Y,
OUT ON STRIKE.

Buffalo, NJ ", July IA general
strike of freight handlers has been
declared at this port for an increase
in wages from II to 20 cents an hour.
The trouble had its inception Tuesday
when the freight handlers at the New
York Central freight house quit work,
alleging that an agreement whereby
they were to receive higher pay from
July had not been carried out
When work was resumed at the
docks Wednesday 1t was supposed
that the strike would be limited to
certain handlers, but the transporta-
ton companies were disappointed, for
a general strike was declared, affect
ing all companies where freight han
dlers are employed. In consequence
q heavy detail Of police was sent to
the docks.
On their arrival they started to
drive away the strikers. who were
congregated along the docks. Some
OF the strikers resisted and the police
made charge. but the strikers stood
their ground. The police were deter
mined and began to use their clubs.
To this the strikers responded. throw
ing stones. The police. however. sue
ceeded in clearing the docks. So far
as can be learned no one was seriously
injured.

sentenced to pay fine OF $1,000 each
on two counts. or a total OF $4,000
each.

pany. The defendants claimed that
the charge was made against them by
the packing company. which had the

trackage. Judge Lands. In his instruc-

bring in verdict OF guilty and after
1t had been rendered the attorneys
for the railroad and for the individual
defendants asked time to show that
the rebate was public and not secret
