Oskaloosa, Feb. 27.-While the
ghost has not yet been captured, 1t
is believed that the mystery concern
ing the spectre that has driven colored
miners from shaft Is at Buxton, has
been solved, and that the ghost is very
much alive.
The fact is accepted that some one
is in the mine hiding for some pur-
pose. The efforts thus far made to
catch or trap the person, have been
futile and the management Is at q
loss 10 know what steps to take
next. The mine was closed down Fri
day, Washington's birthday, and the
air supply was cut of with the hope
that the fellow would be forced out
of the mine. The entrances were
guarded and watched so that II the
ghost came to the surface he could
be caught, but he managed to remain
in the mine during the time OF the
shutdown.
Many believe that the specter in
the mine is Thompson. the man who
shot big Boy" Burtiss at Sharp
Corners some weeks ago. was
said that this man escaped and wen'
to Des Moines. He was seen in Oska-
losa and was identified and it was be-
lieved that he had left the country
Possibly he has returned to Buxton and

way Of verifying these claims. VINO.
ever the fellow is, he is being supplied
with food and water by some one Of
the men working in the mine. He Il
well armed and no one is disposed e
make an attack upon him, for hi
would have large capturing force at
great disadvantage.
Who the fellow is, why he - there
and how to get him out are problem:
that the management hope to solve
in the near future.

passing the word around among their
friends that the bill is to be killed in
the house ub-committee on the mu-
nfeipal corporations committee, to
which II has been referred. 1t may be
that the Des Moines politicians who
have been working overtime to de-
feat the bill have been given some
such an assurance in order to keep
them from spending all their time at
the legislature. At any rate members
of the sub committee declare that the
bill stands a good show of being
nassed and If the Des Moines business
men make a good showing 1t will pass.
This subcommittee to which 1t has
been referred consists of Harding, OF
Sioux City, Moore, of Cedar Rapids,
Webster of Muscatine Ritter of Bur-
lington. Miller of Dubuque, Balluff Of
Davenport. Sparks of Ottumwa, and
Mason of Fort Madison. 1t Is learned
that Cedar Rapids and Sioux City are
interested in the fate of the bill. The
commercial organizations of those
cities have taken the matter up and
will reinforce the Des Moines business
men in support Of the bill. Copies Of
the bill have been sent TO these cues
and the subcommittee will delay ac-
ton till after the five days recess. Soon
after reconvening 1t is expected near
ing will be arranged by the sub-com-
mittee.
Reform divorce legislation is having
it's usual ups and downs in this legls-
lature. A bill passed the senate judi
ciary committee which has been the
graveyard OF all divorce reform legis-
lation for years, and passed the sem
ate. 1t was a mild measure that SIM
ply provided that a divorced person
could not remarry within a year The
house judiciary committee Killed u.
Hambleton of Mahaska was champion
ing the measure in the house, and 1t
was killed during his absence. Yes
terday he gave notice that in five days
he would reintroduce the bill in the
house. Feeley, OF Blackhawk, by re-
quest. yesterday introduced the Bibli-
cal divorce bill.
The judiciary committee OF the
house expects to act on the bill pro-
viding that a workman remaining at
his employment after having given no.
tice to the employer that the place or
machinery is dangerous does not as
sumo the risk; and the maternity hos
pital bill, which passed the senate, be-
fore the five days adjournment of the
legislature, so that they will be on the
calendar when the legislature recon-
venes.
Teter of Marion, who says his bill
providing for a change back to the old
system of working the roads instead of
paying the road tax in cash will go
down to defeat, has introduced anoth-
err bill. This new one merely changes
the word "shall' in the ninth line OF
Section 1888 of the supplement OF the
code to may" The effect Is to change
The law so that instead of it reading
that the township trustees shall" col
lect the road tax in cash, 1t will read
that the trustees may" collect 1t in
cash.
