COMMITTEE CHOSEN TO PRE-

Many Bills Are Already Placed On
caIendar-Number of cIerkships
Cut Down-campaien
Expenses.

Des Moines, Jan. 19.-one of the
first acts of the House was the APP
pointment of a committee consisting
of Hambleton, Dun1 and Heles, to
prepare suitable memorial to Hon.
T. c. Beach, a former member of the
18th and Gath general assemblies, who
died in Oskaloosa July IL, 1906.
Clerkships Cut Down.
The action on the part of the House
in reducing the number of committee
clerks from As to 35 and requiring
that they shall all be competent stem
ographers comes as a sad blow to
quite a number of people who have
been expecting to get clerKships. i lie
demand for these positions has been
apparently greater this session than
ever before. The action of the SEN
ate in giving each senator a clerk
took care of fifty applicants AMI 1t
was ought that since the House had
los members, there would De at least
as many clerks as there are in the
Senate. And so this action in cutting
the number of House clerks down to
IS makes it especially perplexing
since every member has at least one
application, anu many of them three
or four. Some of the disappointed
clerks are inclined to think that the
House members adopted this econom'
ical position to give the members an
easy way of refusing when asked tor

AN INQUEST IS HELD.
Coroner's Jury Renders Verdict Over
Ralph Holloway.

An inquest was held Friday evening
at the Farmers Club rooms at the
court house over the remains of the
late Ralph Holloway, who lost his
life in the elevator accident at the
Baldauf- Rosenblatt store Friday morn
ing.
A large number of witnesses were
examined by Coroner Foehlinger, who
gave practically the same evidence,
there being no eye witnesses to the
affair. The gist of the evidence is
that young Holloway evidently went
down in the basement to turn the
power on and to do his daily morning
work, oiling and busting the elevator.
It seems he reached in and started
the cage up and attempted TO jump
in. In getting in he doubled up his
knee as a person would in climbing
into wagon. In this position he
was pi1ioned between the floor OF
the elevator and the first floor beams
Holloway had started in the store
Wednesday and was put in the hands
of the old elevator boy, who showed
him how to operate the lift. Mr.. Leo
Baldauf also took him in hand and
showed him what the elevator might
do if it ever got out of his control
He also gave him a warning to al
ways close the doors before starting
the elevator. The boy took up the
hn
chinery is very simple. He was quick
to learn and was put in active charge
of the machine the next day after
starting.
The coroner's jury consisted of A
Paine, AL BlacK and Geo. Kalbach
The following is their verdict:
I'VE fad that said deceased
came to his death as the result of
being caught between the eleva-
tor floor and the floor beams sur
rounding the elevator at the first
floor in the Baldauf-Rosenblatt
store, and we find further that
the evidence does not show that
the accident was the result of the
faulty construction of the eleva-
tor, that the elevator was in good
working order prior to the acct
dent and that no blame can be
attached to the employers of the
deceased"
1t was found that the boys bod!
between the elevator and the beams
was so tightly wedged that it brok'
the guides on both sides of the ele
vator.

The street car service is again es-
tablishei between the city and the
Holiness university. The case Of small
pox that appeared among the students
has been isolated and is being cared
for at a place remote from the other
buildings. All places where there
was any chance for trouble have been
thoroughly fumigated and disinfected
and the house where the young man
stayed was thoroughly treated.
Physicians do not fear any other
cases and what precautionary re-

who attended the Farmers institute
took advantage of their visit to this

Sunday had been set apart as Girls
Day at the Central NJ. E. church Sun
day school. The girls of the school
had planned to have a big time and 20
set a high mark for the boys to reach

they have their day few weeks later
on. Plans had been made and prep

little heart was broken Sunday
morning when seemingly unfeeling
parents refused to permit their chill
dren to leave the home. But parents
know best in matters of this kind and
they did what they thought wise for
the welfare of the tots and children.
The girls are to be given another
chance, however, as soon as the
weather con"litions are more favor
able and the efforts that have been
so earnestly made by the girls will
not be lost. In spite of the cold OF
the morning many came to Sunday
school and the attendance, while be-
low the average, was gratifying in
the face of the circumstances and
conditions.
At church Rev. Somerville preach
ed both morning and evening. The
congregations showed a greater de-
crease in attendance than did the
Sunday school, but the younger peo'
pie are more able to brave the wealth
er conditions than are many of the
older church-goers.
Rev. Somerville departs today fol
Washington to assist Rev. Handy in a
series of meetings being conducted
in that city. he will be home Wed
