HOWBODY WAS FOUND
First Seen By a Man Fishing in
Des Moines River.

OF the sad fate that befell william
Stommel, of this city, the Ottumwa
Courier of Monday evening says:
"Wnile fishing from the first pier OF
the %" bridge, about 1880 o'clock
yesterday. Tom Mitchell. residing in
the neighborhood, noticed an object
drifting down the stream that looked
like n body. On coming nearer, he
plainly saw that it was mans body.
After making the foater fast to the
pier, Mr. Mitchell went to the home
of o. P. Bitter and telephoned to the
police station. Desk Sergeant Chris
Myers Immediately called Coroner j,
c. Cox. who, with wagon of c. T..
Sullivan, the undertaken. went to the
place and brought the body to town,
reaching here shortly after 1 o'clock.
Suicide is Believed.
st is believed that Stommel ended
his own life. He probably jumped into
the river because of i'll health and the
body was fioated down stream. He
leaves a wife and FIVE daughters and
two sons at Oskaloosa and has a mar.
ried daughter at Des Moines, where
he had been just before his disap,
pearance about four weeks ago. II
william Stommel was a native of
Germany and was So years of age. ne
had been a member of the U. M. w. A.
and had been unable to work for the
past three months because of r euma-
tism. George Stommel, son of the
decedent, arrived here this morning
on the Rock Island to claim the re,
mains. M..l#.
When interviewed by a reporter he
stated that 1t was three weeks today
since his father had been seen at
home and at that time was evidently
Respondent, as his remarks tended to
show that he contemplated self-des
truction. His words at the time as
stated by his son were: Son | am
going to leave here and after 1871
you will never see your father again
in Oskaloosa alive" Little attention
was paid at the time to Che remarks
as there were no trains leaving the
place at that hour and knowing thal
he contemplated taking a trip to the
home of his son, Peter Stommel, al
Hooking, in Monroe county.
All Trace Lost.
When the son arrived home In the
evening he found that his father had
left as he thought for Hooking, il
was found, however, that he did not go
to his sons home at Hooking and
trace was lost of him until the infor
nation regarding his remains being
found in the river here, was telephonet
to the Stommel home yesterday. L
was first thought that he had gone t.
Des Moines to visit his daughter a
that place, but II is evident that hi
jumped into the river at a point nearer
Ottumwa, presumably near Eddyyille.

HOUSE Rent RAISED.
BUXTON MINERS ARE NOTIFIED
OF PROPOSED INCREASES
IN PRICES.

Buxton, Ia, April 2S.--Several hun
hundred miners employed by the Con
solidation Coal Company at this place
we're surprised when they received
notices that the company had decided
to raise house rent, price OF coal and
railway transportation to the mines.
In each of the pay envelopes was
small circular stating that commenc-
ing May first the rent Of a five-room
house in the camp will be seven dol
lars a month and six-room house
eight dollars. According to the min
ers this is a raise OF one dollar and a
half in house rent.
The circular also states that the
price of house coal to the miners win
be one dollar and seventy cents a load
IAN increase of twenty cents. The
circular further states that they have
been informed by the railway compa-
my that they will make charge of
one dollar per month for each individ-
ual using the train service to and from
the mines.
Those who do not wish to receive
the benefits of the Doctor and "Col
ony" will please notify the cashier
promptly so that this collection can
be stopped May /.
The Consolidation Company have
agreed to live up to the Des Moines
agreement in the way of screens and
all other matters.
The arrival of the circulars caused
much talk in the camp. 1t is stated
by one of the miners well versed in
the matter that the three raises
amount to two dollars and forty cents
per man per month.
