PRAISE FOR ROCK PILE
Its Presence Said to Have Had Good
Effect On Loafers.

The potence OF the rock pile as n
factor In the work OF the Associated
Charities OF oskaloosa was shown yes
terday at meeting OF the executive
and ward committees OF the Assoclat.
cd Charities, held in the Offices on
South First street According TO the
statement made by Secretary John
Pendray, tho rock pile, together with
the schooling given the pauperlzed
loafers OF oskalooBa last year by the
Associated Charities, has resulted in a
considerable decrease In the number
Of appeals from hahitual beggars.
"The rock pile" said Secretary
Pendray, "and the lesson that tho
dead-beats learned last year have los.
sened tho work the Charities have
done for the present year, and more
over no one has suffered. The loafers
who refuse to support their families
know that II they are not careful tney
will have the rock pile furnish employ.
ment, and II served as something TO
keep them In the narrow path"
The report OF the secretary showed
that twenty.three needy and worthy
families were helped during tue last
two weeks. The most Of the work has
been done among children who have
been furnished with shoes, oyershoes,
stockings and other needful things
The sick, too, have been helped, but
the shiftless grown.ups have been, az
they win be, left TO shift for them.
selves.
Tine ward committees reported TO
the Associated committees the condl.
ton OF the poor in their various dis.
trlcts.

CASES ARE PITIFUL..
Wife Desertion Should Be Made
Punishable By Law.

The attention of the Associated
Charities was recently called to a
pitlable case OF wine desertlon. A
mother, sick and heart-broken, was
forced by threatened starvation to
apply for assistance. 1ue questions
that were put concerning her condi.
ton developed case OF heartless de.
sertlon. The mother and her two
sons were In sore distress. There
was not mouthful OF food in the
home, clothing was insufficient and
no fuel to be mad. The wife stated
that she knew where the husband and
father was and that he was making
day wages but that II was all spent
In riotous living. The wife had sought
means OF compelling the husband TO
support the family but without sue.
cess, and she had been driven by
hunger to apply for food The case
was carefully investigated and the
woman is now receiving attention
from the charities and the county.
Secretary Pendray says tnis is the
eighteenth case OF wife desertion
with which they have had to deal
since the organization Of the society.
The public generally does not hear OF
the cases. The wronged wife does
not tell the police. She makes ex.
cuses TO the neighbors II the absence
OF her husband Is noted and strug-
giles alone against the inevitable as
long as possible. Help must come
from some source and the charities
learn Of the trouble. About the only
cases that reach the public ear are
through applications for divorce In
the courts, and the cruelty and the
heartlessness Of the husband Is not
detailed.
Mr.. Pendray advocates that wife
desctlon be taken up by the legIsIa.
ture and made a punishable crime.
Il Is a practice that is becoming all
too common sud should be dealt with
as the cases deserve.

Escape From Death.

7 A fall OF slate at Bolton mines sat
urday caught and seferely pinched
one miner, Tom Owens, Of Beacon ana
slightly injured two other men. Ow-
ems was fortunate to get away with
his life. The accident was caused by
a slip that occurred partly in an old
room Of the mine and partly In an
entry way. Owens had been working
in another part OF the mine from
where the slip occurred and had come
after some tools that were near the
locality Of the accident. The edge or
the falling slate caught the man and
he was severely squeezed but escaped
with no broken bones. A foot more
in the direction Sof the fall and no
would have been dead man.

IMPORTANT DECISION
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THEaE
CAN BE NO APPEAL FROM
ASSESSING TRIBUNAL.

Des Moines, Feb. lO.-The supreme
court Of Iowa has decided that no APP
peal can be taken from an assessing
tribunal which has refused to make
an assessment Under the decision
the Farmers Loan & Trust company
OF Sioux City viii not have to pay
taxes on capital stock OF 100000 dur.
ing the FIVE years preceding 1904.
The treasurer and auditor had re-
fused to make the assessment recon-
mended by the tax ferret, ID. b. shontz.
The county then .,1peared to appeal,
but no appeal ever was authorized by
the county except through the tag
ferret. Therefore, and because there
can be no appeal from assessing .tri-
bunals which decide not to make an
assessment, the supreme court held
that the Farmers Loan & Trust COM
pany need pay no taxes on its stock
for the period in question.
