Prof. ]. WORTH Allen, OF Penn Col
lege, gave a recital at the M. P.
church Thursday night with banjo
and mandolin. The music was OF the
highest order and was greatly ap-
preciated by the audience. Mr.. allen
was ably assisted by the Misses Lu-
cretia and Rozella Robertson, the
charming daughters OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Denny Robertson. The young ladies
played the violin and organ in al
pleasing manner.
W. P. Anderson, of Des Moines, says
he sees no reason for the present stop
page of the mines, as there is moth
ing apparently between the operators
and miners but what may be adjusted
in a short time. Mr.. Anderson is in
terested in the coal business in Polk
county and is deyout friend TO the
joint movement between the miner
and the operator. as it places both
parties in a position where they know
just what they are about and which
is something they never could do pre-
vious to the coming of the joint move
ment and he hopes for the contin'
uance Of the same and will use his
best efforts to keep it so. He is well
pleased with the PERSONAL OF the
scale committee. as they are all known
TO him personally.
