as a voting delegate at the first con-

young as a member of the order, but
has already risen to considerable
prominence. After but two months
experience in the work she was cleo
ted president of the local corps AMI is
now Department Patriotic Instructor
of Iowa, and after being member
of the w. r. C. but two year, was
appointed as representative of Iowa

members o. the society and wnen it
wasdecided to disbaad this sum was
given back to MFR. Hart ais justly be-
longing to him. We understand
there is some disposition to criticize
this action, but none who know VIM.
Hart win for moment question his
action in accepting it. So long as
the society existed it was theirs. He
mad been its treasurer since its or
ganization and the real life of it all
these years, keeping 1t together dur
ing period Of nearly two years
when no dues were paid at all, and it
was his refusal to longer act as its
treasurer that mainly caused its dis
banding. The society has paid nine
death benefits of s25.00 each AMI re-
turned $500 to one and $3.50 each to
two other members who Withdrew on
removing from the city. 1t was main
tanned without expense of any kind
and every dollar paid in was faithful
ly cared for and accounted for. 1t
mad but one bylaw, and that was the
unquestionable honesty and integrity
of its treasurer, whose only thought
was to do good to Others. The li.Ile
society has done much good during
its existence and should have been
continued, as it has done much to
establish confidence and self-reliance
among the people.

GETTING WATER OUT.
New Pump Is Doing Good Work At
Flooded Mine.

An interesting feat of mining en-
cheering can now be witnessed in
operation witnin the city limits OF
Oskaloosa at the Nelson-Shoemaker
coal mine at the west end of b ave-
nue. Finding the water accumulate
ing in the shaft faster than they were
able to remove it, the small gasoline
engine pump was removed, to be re-
placed by a larger one, but during
the six weeks which elapsed before
the necessary apparatus couli be Ia
stalled, about nine feet OF water had
accumulated. Thursday afternoon
the new pump was arranged and It
is now working steadily with it, dou-
BILE action, lifting at the rate of $50
gallons of water per minute, or 300
barrels every hour from the bottom
of the ninety-foot shaft. At the rate
the water line in the bottom of me
shaft is now being lowered it is ex-
pected that the nine will LIE drained
in about week.
The shaft was sunk last summer
by w. r. Nelson and w. P. Shoe
maker, back of the Nelson proper
ties on West A avenue. A good 5h
foot vein of coal underlies a large
tract of land in that neighbornoodI
and the cwo men secured lease on
the coal unoer considerable por-
ton of it and were progressing nicely
with their operations. A room nad|
been extended eastward for about
twenty feet when they struck al
spring and the mine soon became too
damp to continue operations. TheI
small pump was operated by a +wo-
horse power gasoline engine and It'll
was decided to replace it with an
electric driven pump about six weeks
ago, but it required all the interven-
ing time to secure the outfit and put
it in running order.
Tne present method of enptyi1g
the water is very satisfactory. A
small five-horse power electric motor
has been nitched up to large beam
of the double action pump and it is
a wonder for the steady and efficient
work which it is accomplishing. Mr..
who is experimenting |
the work, is now saved much Of thei
worry and trouble caused by the old
engine formerly used, and while mel
sits and watches it, the work con-in-
ues without stop. The flow Of
water is as great as the six-f1ch pipe
will carry on a steep incline. 1t viii
be a matter of only few days before
the work of coal digging can be re-
sumed.

The First Frost,

The temperature took sudden drop
Saturday evening and the low spots
had a white frost early Sunday morn
ing. No damage is reported, however
and the tomato harvest goes forward
with undated fury. A slight rain
Sunday evening has tended to keep
down the temperature, and this morn
ing another light frost was visible.

ISLANDER suit IS OFF
Esquire Woodruff Dismisses the
Gable-Pyle Case.

The Islander suit of Mrs. Martha Ga
| BILE VS.. Mrs. Kate Pyles in which the
plaintiff claimed a judgment of 500
for damages resulting from the ac-
cused slanderous statements made in
regard to her actions by the defend
ant, was dismissed yesterday by JUS
tice Woodruff after a hearing which
occupied the courts time for half a
day. o. ~ Downs was attorney for
the plaintiff and j. c. Williams for the
defense.
Seven or eight witnesses formed a
good backing for the testimony of the
plaintiff, but their Confederation of her
evidence could do little good, as the
statements made by her, when on the
witness stand, were alone sufficient
to justify the dismissal of the suit.
On the 4th day of this month Mr.. Ga
BILE was stopped ON High avenue, ac-
cording to his wife's testimony, by
Mrs. Pyles, and told how his wife was
in the habit of coming up town every
band concert evening and taking I'M
wonted familiarities with Geo. Pyles,
the defendants husband. she said
| rubbed up against her husband and
poked him with my shoulders and
tickled him in the ribs, and there was
not bit of it that was So" was the
way it was told by the plaintiff, and
she claimed that her husband came
home at once and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION, which resulted in their max
ing trip to the defendants home,
where took place heated display of
oratory. Yes, l did call her a liar"
said Mrs. Gable, but / guess that's
just what she is, amt it," When
asked in the cross examination by J.
C. Williams which she would rather
have, the 800 or a chance to clean
out" the Pyles family, she said she
would rather have chance to clean
them out" but she would not, howeV-
err, consent to that mode of settlement.
The weakening part of her testimony
was when she said that she did not
believe that her husband nor any of
her neighbors believed the stories
which had been circulated against her
and that she had not even worried
about them, which in the mind of the
court cleared away all possibilities of
any damages which were claimed in
her petition as resulting from the
ISLANDERS.
