A SENSATIONAL CASE
Revolving Crime is Charged!Against
Three Young Men.

Upon the information Of Mrs. Jen-
ME Small, wife of Leonard Small Of
Pleasant Grove township, signed be-
fore Justice l.. M. Bacon of this city,
warrants were issued and arrests
made of Ben Dodds, John Spencer and
Bert Harris, charging rape upon the
person of the complainant, Jennie
Small. The defendants were arrested
at their homes in Pleasant Grove town
ship and in this city Friday and upon
arraignment pleaded not guilty. Bonds
for appearance before Squire Bacon
for preliminary hearing on September
II were furnished in the sum of five
hundred dollars by Dodds, and one
thousand dollars eacn by harris and
Spencer Constable Woodruff and Of
ficer Art Walls of the city police force
made the arrests.
The story in connection with the af-
fair is extremely complicated and the
entire community southwest Of Barnes
City, about the scene of the incidents
relative to the trouble, is much agi-
tated over the occurrences. Violence
is openly threatened in the neighbor-
hood and the officers fear further trou-
BILE and apprehend more disturbance.
The story of the dolngs leading up to
the arrests is disgusting and revolving.
Many stories and details of me affair
are afioat and the circumstances in
connection with the affair are difficult
to reach.

All OF the railways are increasing
their orders for fuel on account of
the increased fall trade. More mine
workers are being added to the force
of every camp in the state.
~ q "
Mahaska county will have twenty
five to thirty per cent more mine
workers engaged in work this fall
and winter than for the corresponding
season of last year. Fully sixteen
hundred to seventeen hundred min.
ers will be engaged at the heighth
of the season.
The work on the new shaft at Pc
kay has been slow on account of the
delay in getting building material.
Two cars of timber will be on hand
the first of the week
The Thompson & Walker mine is
awaiting the completion of the ser
vice switch to the mine. Fully two
hundred mine workers will find en-
ployment here as soon as the mine

fall consumption.
The improvements at Bolton are

feet Of entry have been driven and
the work is progressing in a satisfac-
tory manner. This mine will operate

death claims to families Of mine work
ers during the past quarte", totslling
twenty-eight hundred dollars.
Many mine workers residing III the
city and expecting to have employ

BLACKBURN LOSES
THE SENATORsHIF

Frankfort, Nv, Jan. a-The adj
ministratisn and Paynter forces won
victory all the way down the line
lin fhe Legislature cancuseS last night
and Joe Blackburn is beaten.
Judge Thomas II. Paynter was nom
Iinated to succeed him in the United
States Senate, and the long and
brilliant career OF the man who for
a quarter of a century and more has
been the leader and idol of his party
in Kentucky will come to an end.
The result was not unexpected TO
Iclose and impartialobservers OF the
situation.
The organization against the gal
liant Joe was company, aggressive
and confident. They knew at all
times Just where they stood, and
could put their hands on each MEM
Der Of the Legislature and tell how
he would vote. All along the con-
tingent that worked with such val
liant vigor for Blackburn ridiculed
the claims of the Paynter men. but
the predictions of General Percy,
Haly, the manageEof the admins
tration campaign, have been verified
in almost every particular.

Stephen B. Elkins for president OF

pears at this distance that much, but
not all, depends on the outcome OF

also of the Nation, are demanding

wishes and acts accordingly is most
likely to be in their favor. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Uncle

Of him to do SO on most all other
questions, but on the rate question
there have already been some very
severe. criticisms of his attitude
Likely, they are untrue, but time
will tel, and it, is to, be hoped he
will act; with as much wisdom lon
this as on other great questions here

MINING SITUATION.

Coal operators in this region are
more hopeful than in months past,
because of the better outlook for
ample transportation facilities. The
past two years until early spring
mining operations in West Virginia
we're greatly stimulated because of
the great anthracite strike in Penn
sylyania in 1903 and the states coal
reached all the markets and proved
itself capable of meeting the de-
mands in quality, and ~ ;price it
was conducive to constantly growing
consumption. But a change came
in March last year and the car sup
ply began to drop off gradually un-
til by midsummer the matter of
cars became a matter of grave con-
Germ, not only with operators but
also with the miners themselves, who
began to feel the effects Of half work
or idleness altogether. -
1t is suspected that the railroads
lof other states and interests not es-
pecially identified with West Vir-
ginia and the states development
and progress had something to do
with this shortage of cars, but it is
known in reality that the season was
such very busy one in other lines
that there was a heavy demand on
the railroad companies for transport
tation facilities, and the regular sup
ply in the region here was diverted
10 a large extent from the field. But
with the busiest season in other
Hines, especially western grain, over

mary esuse Of greater and more

having been made. Uoal men APP
pear TO have plenty of confidence in
West Virginia and her resources and
their actions show they have con-
fidence in the business conditions of
the nation. These sales are also evil
dcnces of plenty of money and much

: There is a concern in Pennsyl-
yania operating two plants that
manufacture oil well tools The
business is substantial but there is
a disposition to move one Of the
plants to West Virginia, owing to
The inducements, and Clarksburg
might easily get the plant, if prop.
or site was offered, either free or at
reasonable price. Such plant
would give employment to fifty men
at high wages and would be good
thing in the industrial line. 1t
might also be an incentive for other
plants to locate here. Itappears an
effort to get this plant would not be
out of order, and if successful, the
result would be very beneficial to the
community. Suppose the effort be
made by those in position to make it.
