ROAD SUED

Four suits for damages on account
of loss to crops from the overlooking

tered against the c., B. & @. railroad

by the several plaintiffs that the c.,
c., B. & @. Railroad company has
built and maintains bridge over the
Des Moines river about four miles
west of this city and that they also
caused to have thrown up an embank-
ment on each side Of the river at that
point where the bridge Is located,
these entertainments causing the river
to be SO narrow that there is INSULT
cient outlet for the water whenever
the river rises above the ordinary
stage, according to the allegations of
the plaintiffs. During the years men
toned in the petitions the water has
been caused to overflow on the lands
Of the plaintiffs to such an extent that
their crops have been ruined. much to
their financial loss and detriment. The

Rainier reported that he heard no
radical talk or threats from the min

friendly, and many of the soldiers ex-
pressed sympathy for the strikers.

The soldiers We're called out and
some were stationed on housetops.
Without a request to surrender they
began to FIRE into Union hall and con-

In Union hall several hundred rifles.

actually stopped before the explosion

From Thursdays Daily.
After being in the water something
less than ten hours, the body of a
man identified as e. j. Rooney of Day
ton, o.. also known as Thomas Doyle,
an employe of the Burlington road,
until recently at work in an extra gang
near Fairfield, was taken from the
stream this morning about Z o'clock
at the foot of Court street where the
main sewer empties into the race, by
Policemen q. W. Raul and Levi Noah
and George Eaton
Tho remains were taken to Sulli-
vans undertaking parlors where Cor
oner s e. O'Neill will hold an inquest
late this afternoon The man was well
dressed In good working clothes and
1t was learned that he had small
sum of money deposited in a saloon
on South Market street
Last Seen at II O'clock.
Rooney has been working on this d.
vision of the Burlington for the past
month and a llalf. About three weeks
ago he quit work and upon being re-
employed he gave the name of Tom
Doyle in order to receive his time
checks-as there is a rule Of the road
that no man shall be engaged twice
the same month. His foreman lately
has been M. ]. Ryan, who was with
him last evening.
Mr.. Ryan stated this morning That
Rooney had been drinking last night.
About 9 o'clock he said Rooney left
the saloon, stating that he was going
to get something to eat. He left
$500 with the bartender for safe-keep-
ing and had room engaged and paid
for at Gilbert's chop house.
That was the last Ryan saw of the
man. Later Rooney was seen about
down along the railroad tracks. About
5 o'clock this morning, A. J. Lang

gated the matter
Find the Body.
From the matted appearance of the
grass and weeds on the bank and
from signs in the mud and sand. it
appeared that a man had fallen and
rolled into the water. Imprints of
hands and elbows were visible, where
| he had evidently tried to check his
course as he slid into the water.
George Eaton, a fisherman was
summoned by the policemen and with
drag line, soon snagged the body and
raised 1t to tne surface. This was
about O'Clock this morning. 1t is
supposed by Rooney's friends he had
either fallen and rolled down the bank
into tho water or else had lain down
to sleep and rolled in. When last
seen he was carrying his coat
| Rooney was Of medium height and
compactly built and would weigh
about $50 pounds. He is about SO
years of age. He has been in good
spirits of late and was not in destitute
circumstances; his friends do not toll
crate any suicide theory.
! 1t is said he is member Of we'll.

ing has been heard from that city al
though communications have been
sent out.

To the Editor of the Courier:
notice with great satisfaction the
very efficient methods pursued by the
new city government, as regards the
cleaning of our streets and alleys, and
also the periodical efforts Of the Cour'
Ter to encourage the beautiful in OF,
tumwa.
However, there is one point upon
which you have never touched, and
it being an imSortant one in city
that aspires to be beautiful, beg to
call your attention and that Of our
city fathers to the shamelessly neglect
ed condition Of the parking between
the walks and curbs, and also to the
vertible footpaths which have been
worn into the lawns Immediately in
and outside of the walks all over our
city.
This condition Is by no means the
fault of our property holders, most
Of whom have tried and do try to pre-
serve a good lawn, but Is attributed
solely and only to the vandalistic
abandon of Ottumwa pedestrians.
The fellow that makes q short cut
over your lawn, and that other heather
who to ease his feet, prefers to WALL
on grass, which has cost you good
money and care to raise, both need
attention right here in Ottumwa, now
| If they are not looked after and oul
lawns are not protected by rigid or
dinance. there VIII be little prospect
for the beautiful in Ottumwa.

retary-treasurer of the Western
Federation of Miners by the con-
vention today
Denver, Colo, July BY vote of
2S3 to 66, the convention of the West.
ern Federation Of Miners adopted a
preamble for the constitution and by
laws of the federation, which, In eff
feet pledges all members to socialism.
1t Is the announced intention Of the
leaders of the federation to call con-
vention at Chicago for the purpose Vt
organizing an Industrial and political
party which will place ticket in nom
ination for the next national election.
The Western Federation Of Miners
and the Brewery Workers union, it is
expected, will form the nucleus Of the
new national organization.
Before its final adoption, the new
preamble goes to the local unions for
referendum vote.
There is Glass Struggle.
The preamble reads:
First-We hold that there is a class
struggle In society and that this strug.
gle is caused by economic conditions.
Second-We affirm the economic
conditions of the producer to be that
he Is exploited Of the wealth he pro-
duces, being allowed to retain barely
sufficient for his necessities.
Third-We hold that the class strug-
gle will continue until the producer
is recognized as the sole master of
his product.
Fourth-We assert that the working
class, and it alone, can and must
achieve its own emancipation.
Fifth-We hold financially, that au
industrial union and the concerted
political action of all wage workers is
the only method of attaining this end.
Sixth-Therefore, we, the wage
slaves employed in and around the
mines, mills and smelters of the world
have associated in the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners. mining department Of
the Industrial Workers Of the World.
Continue Cripple Greek Strike.
The strikes and lockout committee
presented report which favored con
tinuation of the strike In the Cripple
Creek district until the mine owners
card system now in vogue there is
abolished. The conventiSn adopted
the report.
An amendment to the constitution
was adopted whereby two-thirds vote
instead of three-fourths of the mem.
bers of local union shall be neces-
sary before strike is decided upon.

PEOPLES PULPIT.

The financial success and mutual en-
joyment Of the grocers' and butchers
picnic on Wednesday. June 10 at FL
don, was very satisfactory Indeed.
Without the. kindly assistance and CO.
operation of friends and fellow bust
ness men to whom we desire publicly
to express our gratitude, this general
satisfaction could not have been pos
sible
First of all we want to mention and
to thank heartily the local jobbers who
aided us materially with money, sug-
gestions, and other accommodations.
Their kindness has been greatly ap-
preciated, and 1t hoped that the good
will and courteous treatment thus
shown, may be recognized by grocers
and butchers in our mutual business
relations.
To the travelling statesmen ann rep
resentatives of the various manufac-
turers of provisions, we should ex-
press our appreciation Of their friendly
cooperation and volunteered efforts
for the welfare of our picnic. They
pick up excellent ideas of entertain
ment in their visits over the country
and have always been willing to give
the results of their observations.
The Rock Island Railroad company
through their accommodating employees
surely did all within the restrictions Of
recent exacting legislation, tina. could
or ought to be expected for mer
chants jubilee. The comfort Of the
picnickers was ever considered in the
movements of the trains, and at 40
time were the people troubled without
a cause.
The community OF Eldon showed its
customary hospitality, came out and
assisted in many ways to make our
picnic success. The merchants clos
ed their places of business for three
hours advertised the program and
wanted US to come again. The FL
don grounds are beautiful and we'll
equipped for social time, kept in ex.
cellent order and policed by one whose
acquaintance is worthy Of the best. His
personality and experience can not be
forgotten by anyone that meets him
and hears bis real live stories
The weather man also deserves men
ton for the exceptional day that he
gave us, cool clear and In everyway
most pleasant
Again thanking one and all who
kindly aided us to make the picnic of
1907 the best and most enjoyable ever
attempted by the grocers' auxiliary,
we remain,

Ing sharply on the news that the ar.
mored cruisers Tennessee and Wash.
lngton are to be sent to the Pacific
information has leaked out Of tho
navy department that the entire bat.
tleship fleet sixteen strong, will even
tually be sent to the Pacific. 1t will
not be hurried and will not go imme
diately, but it will be on It's way either
via Cape Horn or Suez in twelve OF
fifteen months.
President Roosevelt himself has de
termined this must be done. He has
been going over the situation with
Secretary Metcalf and the latter has
gone over it with the highest naval
Offices. OF course plans for the move,
ment have been formulated by naval
officers who have been wrestling with
navy for months. The President has
approved the plan 1t is asserted here
Not only is there to be a powerful
armored cruiser squadron on the Paci
fic but battleship force that need
fear no enemy in the world.
Aimed at Japan.
While it will be said this step Is
aimed at Japan, the attitude of the
government will be that it is aimed al
none in particular. but at the general
preservation of American influence
and to preserve Chinese integrity.
The plan of dividing the fleet and
sending part of it to the Pacific and
keeping part in the Atlantic has beer
vetoed by naval strategists who say
the far eastern war has taught the
wisdom of keeping the fleets intact.
There is no question that the ad
ministration fears the movement Of q
fleet into the Pacific will be construed
as a hostile act by Japan, but it fears
more to leave the Pacific in defense
less state. Coal is to be steadily ship
ped to the Pacific in large quantities
and dock yards will be improved.
Owing to the poor docking facilities
in the Pacific vessels will be overhaul
ed before being sent to the Pacific
and will be sent there In perfect con
dition.
