TWO TRAINMEN HURT
switchmen at oskaoosa Caught Be-

Engine Takes Siding Instead of the
Main Line,
Special to Tiues-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Oskaloosa, Dec. 4.-Jack Gallagher
and Roy Phyle, two switchmen en-
ployed in the Iowa Central yards here,
narrowly escaped death this morning.
Phyle is severely injured and is pos
sibly fatally hurt. Gallagher, who is
foreman of the night crew, and Phyle,
were riding the footboard of the
switch engine, which started from a
siding to go to another part of the
yards. The engineer supposed the
switch to the main line was thrown
gine took another siding and crashed
into a string of box cars before Gal
lne,her and Phyle had time to jump.
The bumpers of the engine slid by
each other and had it not been for the
fact that the force of the impact lifted
the car in the air, both men would
have been crushed to death instantly.
AS it was Phyl, was badly injured on
the head and had several teeth
knocked out He has remained in a
dazed condition all day. Gallagher
was severely bruised but was able to
continue on duty. The accident hap
pened at 6 o'clock this morning.
Both the injured men recently came
here from Minneapolis to take the
places of the switchmen who went on
strike.

Council Bluffs, Dec. 4.-Early this
morning when Chris Peterson, mer-
chant in the west end, entered his
store from his living rooms overhead,
two men knocked at the front door.
Peterson did not suspect anything, one
of the men having a lantern, giving
him the idea that they were railroad
men wanting to make a purchase. He
opened the front door, turned to hang
ur, the key and again facing the men,
looked into a revolver He was told
to hand over his cash, but instead
of complying he started to escape thru
the rear door, was overhauled and in
the struggle slightly injured, and his
clothes torn from him. Showing fa-
miliarity with Peterson's methods, the
men took the sack of money from
P,aterson's pocket, over $500, and made
their escape. No arrests have been

venu, de Milo.

(From the Bohemian Magazine.)
1t is questionable whether the real
Greek woman, of that immortal epoch
when sculpture meant something more
than a decorative end to an arch1-
tectural means, possessed the chaste
loveliness accredited to her In the
chiseled remnants left to us.
1t has ever been the whim OF ar
lists to work ava yfrom the physical
facts Of their models toward the ideals
of their fancy. The sculptor is usually
a proudly careless historian and but q
poor reporter. All Greek sculpture
doubtless is highly glorified record OF
true Greek ethnology. But, granting
such a woman as, say, the Venus de
Milo did exist in all her bodily and
facial perfection, she would meet with
but cold reception at the hands OF our
critics Of femininity today.
Her modern women associates would
am certain, adjudge the classic lady
a trump. Ideals change with the CEN
turies If nature does not.

MEET IN SWINGING DOOR.

Cordial Greetinqs at Capitol.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Governor john
son of Minnesota and w. j. Bryan had
an accidental meeting at the capitol.
The governor was going thru one of the
large swinging doors into the house
of representatives, and at the same
moment Bryan was coming out thru
the same door.
Bryan saw the governor and at once
put out his hand. why, Governor
johnson, how are you? Delighted to
see you.' And then there was a
pleasant interchange of the usual COM
pliments.
Bryan was accompanied by Bourke
Cochran Of New York and couple OF
other prominent democrats, to whom
he introduced Governor Johnson. AS
both the governor and Mr.. Bryan were
about to start down, Mr.. Bryan took
the governor by the arm and they
started away together, walking from
the capitol to the New Willard hotel.

gress generally. Mr.. Bryan thought
the Young case was of the greatest
Importance, with which opinion I, of
course, agreed.
"'Did you talk any politics?"
"Not a word" replied the governor.
Governor Johnson is attracting
great deal Of attention here. All the
prominent democrats who do not al
ready know him want to meet him
and they are all saying that he is max
ing a fine impression. Many of these
men the governor met when he was in
Washington during his first term, but
that was before he had been talked OF
for the presidential nomination, and
even now the presidential talk has
ceased, the democratic leaders are anx-
ious to look the man over whom they
would have been willing, many of
them, to support, had not Bryan inter-
vened.

All commodities of life, even the

It was stated at meeting of the

There are proportionate numbers Of
idle men in other Industrial centers

cut in half their payments to the un-

Similar conditions prevail in Austria,
to which country more American emf
grants have returned in fortnight
than have departed. The prices of
food are rising, and troubles are
feared.

public it will tend to rapidly restore
confidence among depositors and thus
hasten resumption of currency pay
