ORIGIN IS MYSTERY,
Flames Start in Dresser in Room
Removed From Fire.

Fire of a mysterious origin at six
o'clock Monday morning damaged a
property, No. 702 South d street, own
ed by N. S. Stein and occupied by Har.
ry Wiles and family. The fire started
in room that had no occupant, no
stove and no light. Moreover the
flames originated in the drawers of a
dresser which was wholly destroyed
This is probably another Case charge,
able to mice and matches.
Confusion in sending the alarm,
which came from the Silberman gro
Gerry on South D street, sent the fire
department to 7O2 South B street.
Chief McCracken then had to find a
telephone and call central, who had
received the alarm before the trouble
was located. When the department
arrived the fire had good start and
was burning afiercely. Water was
promptly turned on and the flames
were confined to the room where
they started. The damage to the
building will amount to fifty or sew
enty-five dollars. Some damage was
done to household effects. Loss COW
cred by insurance.

SIX CONTESTS IN ASSEMBLY
THE COMING LEGISLATURE WiLL
HAVE PLENTY TO DO.
Five In House, One in Senate--Elec.
tions so Close That Few Votes
VIII Change Results.

Des, Moines, Dec. 26.-Five contests
in the house Of representatives and
one in the senate will give the com
ing Thirty-third general assembly the
record for contests for a good many
years back.
OF all these contests but one con.
testant filed his notice with the secre-
tary of state early enough to prevent
the issuance of a certificate of cleo
ton. This was L. d. Teter, of Ma.
rion county,, who by giving notice of
contest has prevented his democratic
opponent, George w. Crozier from sit
ting until the elections committe mas
passed onrtheir contest. In the other
instances. those who on the face OF
the returns we're eleced will take their
seats, where they will remain unless
ousted by the assembly to make place
for their opponents.
One of the most interesting con-
tests will be that commenced by Sid
ney j. Robb, of Clinton, republican,
against A. w. Kendall, of Delmar.
democrat. The difference in their
vote was SO very slight that it has
been predicted the recount will be ad.
vantageous to Robb. Mr.. Kendall.
however takes his seat untn action
of the house on the report of the com.
mittee on his case.
w. T. DAVIDSON, of Hamburg, Ere
mont county, the republican candidate
who was defeated on the face of the
returns by but five votes, will contest
the seat of his successful democratic
opponent, A. V. Penn, of Sidney.
By but eleven votes did Robert Bax.
ter, of Galva, win a seat from Ida
county, over s. NJ. Corrie, republican,
Mr.. Corriei win contest for the place
The smallest margin In votes was in
Buchanan county. There the republi-
cancan candidate, B. F. Stoddard, OF
Jesup, won by but two votes. His
democratic adversary, l.. F. Springer.
will undoubtedly contest.
The senate contest will come from
Mahaska county. There A. f. N. Ham
bleton, former republican representa-
tive, was defeated for senate position
by John F. Reann, of Oskaloosa, by
forty.eight votes. Mr.. Hambleton
claims that in Mahaska county many
voted for him directly, but also for
president directly by putting cross
before Taft's name instead of before
the names of the electors. These bal
lots were thrown out. ne contends
they should not have been discarded
and that with such ballots counted
he would be entitled to the lection

REMEMBERS THE POOR
Salvation Army Distributes Many
Christmas Dinners.

The Salvation Army, did notable
work Of charity on Christmas day. No
less than two hundred and ten baskets
containing a Christmas dinner were
distributed among the poor families of
the city where otherwise no Christ
mas dinners would have been possible.
A Christmas treat was also distribut-
ed to poor children Christmas after

ty little folks were made happy at the
Salvation Army Barracks on High

The Salvation Army festivities be.
gan Christmas Eve. A public enter
tainment at which a creditable pro-
gram was presented was we'll attend
ed. The entertainment was repeated
for the children at two-thirty O'Clock

presents were distributed from a tree.
The Christmas tree was a handsome
affair and was nicely trimmed and dec.
GRATED. The program was concluded
by. tableau, Rock of Ages" and &C
companying music by concealed choir.
The entire affair under the manage
ment of Adjutant and Mrs. De CARTS,
in charge of the local station of the
Army, was well done.
The treat for the children consisted
of an orange, an apple, candy, nuts,
and present of some kind, doll for
the little girls and toy of some kind
for the boys. The children, many of
whom had no other Christmas, were
beside themselves with delight. Many
presents were carried to sick children

William Hillary: Marquis Atchison
and Orrin Smith.
Rev. Mr.. Randle concluded his ser
vices on August 10, 1884, having re-
ceived 500 TOR his years labor, but
congratulated himself on having built
splendid log meeting house, having
paid for it and having received twelve
members into the church.
In 1834-5 Mrs. Elizabeth Atkinson
preached frequently in the log meet.
ing house. She was licensed by the
Primitive Methodist church of Eng.
land. Her license was renewed, how.
ever, ON Aug. 10, 1887. by the quar-
terly conference of this church, H. w.
Reed, preacher in charge, and A.
Brunson, presiding elder, being pres.
ent. In the autumn of 1884 N. s.
Bastian succeeded Rev. Mr.. Ranole
and carried forward the work with
good success, as many good men were
coming into the country about Du
buque. Rev. Hooper Clews, presidin
elder held the first quarterly meeting
ever held in Iowa on November %,
1884. Henry w. Reed was the sue,
cessor of Rev. Mr.. Bastian in the fall
of 1885 and was returned in 1886
This year Dubuque was made station
and Rev. Mr.. Reed gave his whole
time to this church, while the outside
work was given to second man sent
to Iowa. Rev. Alfred Brunson was the
presiding elder. In 1888 it was found
that larger house for worship was
needed and plans were made for
building, lot on the corner of Sew
enth and Locust streets being donated
by Jesse P. Farley, one Of the wealthy
and strong men of the city. The
structure, quite pretentious for its
time, was in due course erected.
In 1910 the, Rock River conference
was organized by the division of the
Illinois conference and Dubuque fell
into its jurisdiction, as it comprised
the northern part of the state of Hi
nois and reached into Wisconsin and
Iowa. The Iowa conference was or
ganized in 1874, with SO preachers and
over 5000 members, so rapid had been
the growth in zen years.
Thomas H. Benton, jr., had come to
Dubuque in 1889 and opened an En-
glish classical school, and entered
the church as an ardent, active Chris
tian. He became Sunday school sup
erintendent and a steward of the
church. He was later state superin.
tendent of public instruction and still
later colonel and brigadier general in
the civil war.
IN 1851 talk was again general OF
the need of newer and larger church.
1t resulted in the erection of the Main
street church on the same lot as the
present building. This was dedicated
in 1853 and q parsonage built year
later. .... .-.
Through the trying period of thu
civil war and the years intervening
the society has had a steady growth
| The present church and parsonage
are recent history. They represent
an outlay of 100000. st. Luke's
has membership of 900 and a Sunday
school averaging nearly 300. This re
suit rebounds largely to the credit Of
Rev. DR.. H. d. Atchison, who has of
fciated in his present pastorate nine
years. '''

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS or BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Dec, 26.-The Black Dia,
mond today says:
Mine production throughout the
United States has been rather sharp
ly curtailed within the last two
weeks, but the result is that SO long
as this condition exists operators may
expect to make some profit from their
transaction. For the year, SO far.
tire has either been surplus of do.
nestle or of steam sizes. For the
minute neither seems to be over
abundant and prices, in consequence,
are moving up.
Buying Of domestic coal at retail
has not been what might be called
normal. Undoubtedly consumers have
determined to buy coal for this year
only when absolutely necessary. This
is compelling the operators to curtail
production in that quarter. Such a
development is not as unsatisfactory
as it might seem. because were The
demand and the output of domestic
coal normal the operators would per-
force produce more steam coal than
could be absorbed under existing IN
dustrial conditions. Since the oper!
ators depend for their profit upon the
average price of the commodity rather
than upon the amount of the. tonnage,
it is apparent that even less business
at higher prices is more satisfactory
than great tonnage of one coal fore
ing an excess amount of another upon
the market to beat down the average
price and rob the concern of ITS profit.
