Keota Eagle; The lady evangelist
at The tent meeting the other night
spoke of the extraordinary amount OF
hell there was, in her home town 81
Oskaloosa. We always knew that town
was well supplied of the kind, for we
can distinctly remember when we
were little shaver of hearing the
boys make remarks like this: We'll,
was up at Oska last night and had
a hi of a time. and it is to be sup
posed that there is still a goodly
amount of the article left in the town
after a period of twenty years. But
seriously speaking, we always thought
the town of Oskaloosa was pretty
well behaved city and we are still OF
the opinion that At is far ahead OF the
average city of its size in Iowa when
il comes to matter of good morals.

OUR NEIeHaoRs, OPINIONS.

Oskaloosat, Times: The light ,propo
sition introduced before the city
council by Councilman Campfeld last
Monday night looks good to us. We
are not alone in our views either, for
we have yet to come across an indi-
vidual who thinks otherwise. Our
lighting system, is bad, and along
some streets if one wants to see it
has become almost necessary to re-
sort to the primitive method of carry
ing a lantern. BY the terms of the
proposition the city will get 1873 new
lights lights which are admitted to
be better than the arcs,-and get
them free of additional expense. In
view of the fact that the light fund is
already taxed to it's limit and that
there is a constant and continuous de-
tmand for new lights, it would seem
ITO lis that in the scheme proposed
Mr.. Campfield has solved the problem
of lighting the city We believe the
plan will be adopted, and that within
a few months, it will be possible to
see along any street in our city. ~

RUMBLE OF THE RAILS
News Picked UP At Depot, Siding
and Round House.

Marshalltown, Ia, July 2l.-When
the management OF the Iowa Central
railroad is called upon to hear griev-
ances from employees labor organiza-
tions in the future 1t will not be with
the committee of the individual organ
izations but with the Iowa Central
Federation of the railroad department
of the American Federation OF Labor.
Such is the official name of an or
ganization formed here yesterday by
100 delegates representing every
branch of organized labor on the rail-
road with the exception of the B. of
l.. E. and the Brotherhood of Conduc-
tors and Trainmen. Interested in the
alliance, which will have a member
ship OF over 1000 men on all parts OF
the system, are the rmachinists, boil
ermakers, blacksmiths, car workers,
switchmen, Brotherhood of Railroad
Clerks and telegraphers.
The organization was perfected by
]. A. Newman of st. Louis, first vice
president of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers. Mr.. Newman said that
the strength commanded by the new
organization was such that strikes
could hardly be possible in the future,
because, the ntire line would be tied
up il one of the organizations struck.
Preparations are being made by the
Iowa Central to lay about thirty niles
of new eighty-pound steel rails ON its
main line roadbed north of Ackley
The new steel will extend as far north
as Geneva. A dozen or more cars of
the new rails have been received and
are being distributed along the right
ofway where they will be placed.
These rails will take the place of the
sixty-pound steel, which will be used
for siding, switches and yard tracks.
1t is estimated that 1t will require
about sixty days to complete the
work, which is to be begun in about
a week. The company has already
laid eighty-pound steel from MARSHALL
town to Ackley, 1t being the purpose
to eventually have the heavier steel
on the entire length of the northern
division.
General storekeeper w. G. Man
chester, of the Iowa Central. with

GIRLS ON STRIKE

 New York. Nov. 2s--At strike head quarters today it was announced that 5000 of the striking girl shirtwaist makers had returned to work. many of the manufacturers having acceded to their demands The strike leaders express the belief that the remaining 31. 900 would win their cause within a few days. This. However, does not tally with the statement of many of the larger manufacturers that they will never accede to the strikers de- mands- To devise means for fighting out the strike there have been con- ferences today of a number of the manufacturers.
 There have been more than 150 ar rests since the strike began and the girls declare the police are especially active in arresting the women who are doing epicket' work around the lofts where the girls are out on strike The strike treasury. they say, has been almost depleted in efforts to secure fair trials for the arrested girls
 The strike has brought out some puz- zling legal decisions Magistrate Kro- tel frees all the striking '.pickets'' brought before him. declaring the right to s.ricket'' is well established and that are committing no crime.
 A dissimilar view is taken by Magis- trate Corrigan. who has fined and sem tenced several "pickets'' and has warn ed others that they will be severely dealt with if they are brought before him.
 In view of these adverse decisions. the strikers declare they will appeal all of Corrigan's decisions to the high CT courts
 A committee of twenty. representing 600 of the manufacturers whose em- ployes are on strike. has announced that the manufacturers have decided upon a fight to the finish The manu- facturers declare they will take back their old employes under the old time conditions. but that they will not rec ognize the union- The manufacturers have sent a circular letter to every manufacturer of shirtwaists in the country asking for support in the fight against the unions.
 T believe the strike will practical ly be over by next week." declared Benjamin Witaskin. organizer of the Laeies Waist Makers Union. today. "Already seventy-one of the bosses have agreed to our terms and nearly 10 900 girls went back/to work today. Theer are still 15,O00 girls in factories who have not yet been called out and I hope 1t will not be necessary. The number of the strikers has already dwindled to less than 25.000 girls
