IOWA MINES SHUT DOWN.
Fifteen Thousand Miners of State viii
Be Thrown Out of Employ
ment After April 1.

Des. Moines, Mar. 5.-A complete
shutdown of the coal mines in Iowa,
worked by $1,000 miners is threatened.
The agreement now existing between
the mine operators and the miners ex-
pires March 81, and because of the
failure of miners and operators in
Eastern states to reach an agreement
last week it is probable that the min
ers and operators, who have hereto
fore followed the example of the East
ern states will not be able to make a
new agreement before March 81. This
would mean a discrimination of work
in every coal mine in Iowa and $4,000
men would be thrown into idleness.
The probability of the shutdown OF
the Iowa mines was discussed Tues
day night by John p. Reese, secretary
and commissioner of the Iowa Coal
Operators association.
Mr. Reese expressed the opinion
that the mines would undoubtedly be
shut down April /. He declared that
he could see nothing which could pre-
vent it in the face of the failure Of
the Eastern miners and operators to
agree.

VARIETIES IN HUMAN SPECIES
Source of Everything That Is Beautiful
and Interesting.

Each human being has something
distinguishing. in form, proportions,
countenance, gesture, voice-in feel
ings, thought, and temper, in mental
as well as corporal physiognomy.
This variety is the source Of every
thing beautiful and interesting in the
external world-the foundation Of the
whole moral fabric OF the universe.
Certain external circumstances, as
food, climate, mode of life, have the
power of modifying the animal organi-
cation, so as to make 1t deviate from
that of the parent. But this effect
terminates in the individual. Thus, a
fair Englishman, If exposed to the sun,
becomes dark and swarthy in Bengal;
but his offspring. If from an English
woman, are born just as fair as he
himself was originally; and the chill
dren, after any number Of generations
that we have yet observed, are still
born equally fair. provided there has
been no intermixture of dark blood.

There was stir in the forward
part of the car. A man, hitherto sit
ting quietly by the side of an alert
wiry little fellow who sat next the
aisle, had attempted to bolt the car
by springing over the empty seat in
front of him and making a dash for
the door. 1t was daring, but in vain.
His companion, as agile as he, had
seized him and forced him again into
his place before the rest of the pas
sengers fully understood that the at
tempt had really been made.
rs he crazy? Are they taking him
to YaHkton?" asked Louise, the pretty
color all gone from her face. Did he
think to jump off the train?"
That's John Yellow Wolf. a young
half-breed. He's wanted up in the
Hills for cattle-rustling-United States
court case. That's Johnson with him,
deputy United States marshal"
Poor fellow" said Louise, pityingly.
Don't waste your sympathy on such
as he. They are degenerates-many
of these half-breeds. They will swear
to anything. They inherit all the
evils of the two races. Good never
mixes. Yellow Wolf would swear him
self into everlasting torment for pint
of whiskey. You see my cause Of
complaint? But never think, Miss
Dale, that these poor chaps of half
breeds, who are hardly responsible,
are the only ones who are willing to
swear to damnable lies" There was
a tang of bitterness in his voice. per

of bribery or self-interest, God knows

Louise. through all the working of
his smart and sting, felt the quiet re-

do her part, her woman's part Of COM

fixed on the gliding landscape as II
appeared in rectangular spots through
the window in front of them.
Yes. Or" prompted Louise,
softly.

uuence," he said, abruptly. mo fear

'Ts it, then, such a nest of cow

her clear voice.

might say. And who can say who is

"Mr. Williston-he has been unfor-

gentleman, and scholar, surely.
Surely. He is one of the finest
fellows l know. A man of the most
sensitive honor. If such thing can
be, l should say he is too honest, for
his own good. A man can be, you
know. There is nothing in the world
that cannot be overdone."
She looked at him earnestly. His
eyes did not shift. She was satisfied.
Your work bellies your words" she
said quietly.
Dust and cinders drifted in between

her handkerchief to her lips, Louise
looked at the dark streaks on it with
reproach.

The Attack on the Lazy

intense heat. The door was thrown
wide open. 1t was good to feel the
night air creeping into the stihlng
room. There was no light within; and
without, nothing but the brilliant stars
in the quiet, brooding Sky. Williston
was sitting just within the doorway.
Mary, her hands clasped idly around
her knees sat on the doorstep,
thoughtfully staring out into the still
darkness. There was stir.
Bedtime, little girl" said Willis

we have a light? Think how the
mosquitoes will swarm. Let's go to

I'VE will shut the door, and next

have seen the wistful smile on the
thin scholarly face. But though she
could not see it, she knew 1t was
there There had been fairer hopes
and more generous promises in the
past few years. They had all gone
the dreary way of impotent striving,
of bitter disappointment. There was
little need of light for Mary to read
her fathers thoughts.

ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

President J. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, Of which in the freshman and
sophomore years, he disapproves.
"a freshman of 16 or IT," said Pres
ident Schurman, ''is too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind is not mature
enough 1t will make mistakes.
in it's immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown He,
though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery
1.-THE old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each head
stone, with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
But inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
HE had the Christian name of each
wife cut on a small stone above her
srave-"Emma,' Mary" Hester"
Edith" Under each name a hand
pointed to a large stone in the CEN
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:

owner of the Three Bars ranch is sent
for by Williston and is informed of the
operations of the gang of cattle thieves

Callan, the man whom General Custer
sent for achievements when his COM
mand was entrapped by Indians on the
Little Big Horn river, in Montana, and
who led a relief force back to the place
where Custer a1d his men had been
slaughtered, died at his home here
Friday. Callan received medal from
congress in recognition of his bravery
in making the dash for reinforcements
for Custer. An overwhelming body
of Indians had already surrounded
Clusters troops when Callan was
chosen to carry out the dispatch ask
ing for help. He made his way through
the Indian lines to the nearest mill
tary post and then headed the relief
party on the long ride back to the
scene of battle. They arrived too late,
however, the entire Custer command
having been annihilated by the In
dams. Callan left the army 2S years
ago and since that time has been en-
gagged in business here.

human longing he crushed down, what
intense encouragement, what sick de-
sire to lay down his thankless task
and fee to the uttermost parts OF the
world to be away from the crying
need he yet could not still. Then he
answered simply, Il did not mean 1t,
Miss Dale"
And then there did not seem to be
anything to say between them for
long while. The half-breed had set
tied down with stolid indifference.
People had resumed their newspapers
and magazines and day dreams after
the Neeting excitement. 1t was very
warm. Louise tried to create little
breeze by Ticking her somewhat be-
grimed handkerchief in front of her
face. Gordon took newspaper from
his pocket, folded it and famed her
gently. He was not used to the little
graces of life, perhaps, but he did this
we'll. An honest man and a kindly
never goes far wrong in any direction.

said, seriously, that it is all bad up

harping on my own little corner OF
wickedness all the while. 1t is good

"When?" asked Louise.
when we convict Jesse Black and
when our Indian neighbors get over
their mania for divorce" he answered,
laughing softly.
Louise laughed merrily, and so the
Journey ended as it had begun, with
laugh and jest.
In the judges runabout, Louise held
out her hand.
I'm almost homesick," she cried,
smiling.

The Nebraska State Convention Names
Delegates to St Louls-The
Meeting Was Well Attended.

Omaha, Neb., Mar. with the
largest number OF delegates at any
Nebraska Populst meeting for four
years, the Populist State convention
was called to order in Washington
hall at two O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
Resolutions reaffirming the Omaha
platform anunciated in 1892, and de-
claring SCR the support of Bryan by
all Populists were passed, after
which the convention listened to
speeches of the true Populist brand
made by different leaders, while the
committee was preparing a platform
fiery enough for the old time Populists.
Hon. e. E. Thomas, of Omaha, was
made permanent chairman OF the con-
vention, and in his speech OF accept
ance, said the platform adopted by the
Republicans at Columbus, O., Wednes-
day, and by the Democratic conven-
ton in Omaha Thursday are both good
Populist documents.
State Chairman Manuel spoke signi-
ficantly in saying: "As national or
ganization / don't think we cut much
figure, but as state party we can
materially assist at the election of
Bryan as president"
After debate lasting two hours, the
convention decided to recognize the
call of the national committee, and to
send a full delegation to the Populist
National convention at st. Louis.
Thirty-Seven delegates were selected
for that purpose, and instructed to
vote and work for the interest of w. j.
