Marshalltown, Ia, June 15.-Mayor
o. L. Engledue is making an effort to
see what can be done toward arbitrat-
ing the differences existing between
the management of the Iowa Central
railroad and the shop employees who
are out on strike. In a letter 20
General Superintendent d. C. Noonan,
at Minneapolis, the mayor asks him II
the company will entertain any ad-
vances looking toward a settlement.
The mayor has been given to under
stand by strikers that, individually,
they are willing to accept the prevail
ing wages paid by other Iowa railroads
for similar work. 1t is not known,
however, just what the international
organizations will say, If lne efforts
should result in negotiations toward q
compromise. All business interests
in the city are hopeful for a termina
ton of the strike, which has been on
since April.

LOST IN THE RIVER.
Sad Fate of Husband of oskaloosa
Girl.

Additional details have been re-
ceived by local friends of Anna pe-
lashmut Rommel. concerning the
death of her husband, Albert W,
Rommel.
Mr.. Rommel left New York last
September on prospecting tour in
South America. In company with
some friends and some natives he
was camping by the side of a river
in Chilli. Early on the morning OF
November 2 last year, Mr. Rommel
arose and went to the river TO bathe
as was his custom. When breakfast
was ready the attendants called him.
Receiving no answer, search was made
and the party came upon his clothing
upon the bank of the stream. Ine
man was missing, however, and could
not be found All possible effort was
made to recover the body. The river
was dragged and other methods of re-
coyery were employed, but II was
several days before the body was
found on the river bank by some ma
tives. The body was buried near the
place where it was found.
A full statement of the details of
the accident was prepared and sent
Mrs. Rommel. but the lady did not re-
ceive the letter. About two months
ago, letters she had written to her
husband were received at the mining
camp and opened by his companions.
They knew by the character of the
letters that she did not know of the
death of her husband. The second
letter was thereupop written and for
warded. 1t brought to the wife the
first news of the accident, and this
is now sent to friends here.
Mrs. Rommel is now in New York
City. Her many friends in this coun-
ty will extend all sympathy to the
lady in her bereavement.

He struggled gamely in the foaming
waters for several minutes and had
all but given up. With burst of he
roism that made the spectators gasp,
and without removing any of his cloth

The Happiest Home

Opinions differ as what
is needed to constitute
the ideal happy home, but
everybody agrees that
music is one of the most
important things. Can
you think of a single
happy home where they
do not have music in
some form? Music pro-
notes happiness because
iitmproves the tempers
and dispositions of the
worst of us.
Especially in summer,
when it is possible to sit
on the porch or lawn and
listen to the charming
music of our up-to-date
Edison Phonograph.
No ear too critical and
no pocketbook too limit
ed to enjoy it.

Germany will not depart from its
