Matt Picken Hurt.

Fremont Gazette: Matt Picken,
south of town, was the victim of a
most distressing accident one day last
week. The accident occurred while
he and his brother Rob were driving
posts. Rob was in the wagon doing
the driving with a sixteen pound
sledge and Matt was setting and
steadying the posts. Unthinkingly
Matt placed his hand on the top of a
post just as the sledge was descend
ing and received almost the full force
of the blow, his brother not seeing
his hand until too late to avert the
accident. The kunckles and bones of
the hand were broken and crushed
and he was taken to ottumwa imme-
diately where he received medical at
tention. The outcome OF the ACCIDENT
is not yet known, but 1t is hoped he
will not lose the use of his hand.

MARRIAGE A FAILURE ZOO PEOPLE KILLED.
THE WANT ADV. WIFE DOES NOT
MEET MONROE MANS
EXPECTATIONS.

Newton, Ia, Dec. ST decided her
my house and lots and my mill in
Monroe soon after we were married
because she had gained my confidence
by her kindness during my illness.
No sooner had she secured the title
to the property than she began to
mistreat me and finally told me that
I ought to have died years ago. If
stood it much longer my life would
have been endangered"
This was the gist of the testimony
given by James Hart of Monroe, whose
suit for divorce and for the recovery
of his property is being heard here.
Hart is SS years old and the case is
being bitterly fought by Mrs. Hart.
aged So. The couples marriage was
rather romantic, the two being brought
together by a want ad.
The case is being bitterly contested
by Mrs. Hart on account of the prop
erty. When she took the stand she
denied all the acts of cruelty COM
planned of and says that she married
the old man out of pity, as he had no
one to take care of him. She says
that he told her in a letter that he
was over 60,but that she did not think
he was twenty-six years over that age
when she accepted his invitation to
come to Monroe.

CHARLEY ROSE ALIVE.
Says He Is Not a Ghost Yet and
Don't Want to Be.

Des Moines Register and Lader:
Charles E. Rose, of Oelwein, wants
his friends in Des Moines to know
that he is not the Cal Rose that com.
mitted suicide in the city Jail during
the night Of Nov. %.
1t seems that both men came from
oskaloosa and both have been in the
restaurant business in East Des
Moines, though in widely different ca.
pacities, Cal Rose as cook and Charles
Rose as proprietor.
The Mr.. Rose that is alive has been
an object Of wonder to some of his
friends lately, they having supposed
that he had committed suicide. He
doesn't like to be taken for a ghost,
so gives out this certificate of his
substantially.

Better Mail Service.

The new mail train that is to be put
on the Rock Island next Sunday, Dec.
16, will bring mail out Of Chicago
several hours earlier than the mails
on other roads. 1t will make connec.
ton with the five o'clock mail from
the north on the Central and bring a
greater amount of early mail to the
local postoff1ce than now comes. The
convenience will be appreciated. The
east bound service will not be of adj

COAL TRADE REVIEW

POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago Dec. S.--The Black Dia-
rnond todays says: THE unseason-
. able weather this week has mitigated
the demand for almost all classes OF
western Goals. The complexion OF
the market would no doubht change
{ in forty-eight hours if the weather
should suddenly turn cold. The trade
Dealers yards are in fair condition
ard they are not induced to buy hea-
Willy until they get good demand
from consumers. Selling agents are
practically caught up on back orders
and are in good shape to take care
of new business. Every effort is be-
ing made to get as large supply of
coal delivered to the docks as pos
sible A large number of contracts
for dock coal have already been fill
ed, which has tended to liberate the
number of cars used for dock ship
ments. However these cars, which
are somewhat helping out the all
rail trade, have not been in the SER
vice long enough to produce any per-
ceptible effect. AS soon as naviga-
ton is closed completely all of the
equipment viii be available and util-
lied to the fullest extent in serving
the interest of the trade. Many deal
ers in the country districts believe
that sales agents are discriminating
in the filling of orders. Some of the
back orders have been on file for the
last two or three months, and it is
difficult to make the retailers believe
that no one is receiving preference
as to shipments. The car situation
is perhaps somewhat easier this week
than last, although the change is not
worthy of comment.

MINES And MINING
Notes by Edwin Perry, Iowa Sec'y.
United Mine Workers.

The mines in Iowa and Putnam
county. Mo-, are running steady to
their fullest capacity and yet the de-
mand is greater than the mines are
able to supply.
The railroads are still unable to
supply cars as promptly as needed.
Nearly every railroad in the west has
put hundreds of cars out of service
in the last year. The small cars,
such as the 10000 capacity, are no
longer used, the companies finding
them improbable to operate and too
expensive to equip with air brakes
and other modern appliances required
by law.
The Bolton mine could supply work
for large number of men if they
could be found. A failure on the
part of the Burlington railroad to
furnish cars has had tendency to
keep many miners away. This OBJ
stacle is removed as far as the fu-
ture is concerned, according to def.
mite information.
The miners Of .Briscoe, Iowa, are
appealing for new labor union.
The same is under advisement by
District 13.
A new mine is being operated on
the Wabash railroad near Carbon,
Iowa, in Davis county. The vein is
the Appanoose county vein, worked
on the long wall system.
1t is currently rumored that Geo.
Fraker Of this city has bought an in
terest in the new mine on the North.
western road near Lost Creek.
George is a good coal man and a
hustler for business.
v y y
The Cedar Creek Coal Co. of Ham
ilton are now operating new shaft
south of the old opening. :.
y u
The auditors of District Is report
balance of $223,2S7.34 on hand Nov.
1, 1906, notwithstanding that twenty
six death claims were paid during
the same quarter and an assess
ment of $4,000 to the international
union.
The Colfax Northern is building
waiting room for the miners of Col.
fax. Their intention is also to fur.
nish steam heat.
RE
The national convention of Mine
Workers convenes on Jan. Is, 1907,
in the city of Indianapolis, Ind. Dis
trict 13 will probably send so or
more delegates. AS ususal, the con
vention will last about week or ten
days.
The P. & r. Coal & Iron Co. have
for some time past furnished a new
innovation to the mining industry. A
skilled surgeon is placed in charge of
large corps of experienced and
trained persons that render first aid
to the injured persons in the mines.
When bones are broken the injured
is bandaged, splintered and cared for
before leaving the mine. These as
sistants also accompany the injured
to their homes in ambulances sup
piled at the expense of the coal com
pany. This same chief surgeon holds
meetings at stated periods and in
structs the attendants in their duties
to the injured. This emphasizes the
fact that the life of the worker is be
coming tenderer and hope brighter
with each recurring year.
