BUCKING THE CREAMERY.

Farmers in the vicinity of Heron
Lake have been trying to form y
cooperative creamery company; in
which effort the Cobb produce COM
pany took special pains to discourage
the farmers. Frank Pratt of Spring
field township took Mr.. Cobb to task
through the papers and in the last
issue of the News says:
Nov we do not blame Mr.. Cobb
for endeavoring to crush all LEGAL
creamerles. It is the duty of the
trusts all the time to fight competi-
tlon, but anyone who knows what the
Wilder, Oklahoma, Window, Dundee,
Storden and Westbrook creamerles
have paid for cream during the last
few years do not need to be told
whether or not q local creamery pays.
Those above named creameries,. have
to our own knowledge paid from 4 to
8 cents more per pound for butter tat
right along than have the cash buyers
in Heron Lake and other towns where
there is no creamery, and besides ali
of. those creameries ale doing aSgood
business. and the farmers express
themselves as we'll satisfied with their
local creamerles. and there is no rea-
son why Heron Lake cannot do the
same with creamery as other towns
DO. Stick by the creamery. -

INDIAN NAILED To CROSS. DIES.
Mexico City, April 20. The au-
thOrities here have been notified OF the
death Of Tiburcio Zambrano, a
Iuxpan Indian, under peculiar circum-
stances. ZambraD0 lmpersonated
Christ IN the Passion Play by the
Indians during Holy Week at the town
of Tuxpan in the southen part of this
state. When the time for the cruclfix-
ton arrived on Good Friday he
demanded that he be nailed to the
cross instead of dashed, as had been
the custom.
Religious enthusiasm was. at its
height and those in charge of the
exhibition acoeded to Zamrano' q
demands, plnning him to the cross
with nails hastily secured. Almost
Immediately, however, the municipal
authorities heard of the matter, and
although serious troubIe " q
threatened for q while they succeeded
IN dlspersing the Indians and releasing
the man.
When Zambrano was removed from
the Cross it was discovered that the
nails used IN fastening his hands and
feet were rusty. Lockjaw quickly
developed and he died IN terrible
agony.
The Tuxpan Indians are said to be
the last Of the Aztecs. '.l'he Passion
Play" has been q feature of their
observance of Holy Week for many
yeaIs. '1'"

SUGGESTS NEW COUNCIL ROOM.

SUGGESTS NEW COUNCIL ROOM.
It has been suggested by Alderman
F. E. Hall that the large room in the
south end of the city hall, on the
second Aoor which Is at present
occasionally used for band practice
and meetings. be fixed up into an
appropriate council chamber, in
which the city fathers could meet
with some semblance of decorum. The
! plan would be to have a platform in
,, the south end Of the chamber on
which would be the president of the
councils desk, in front of this plat
form the clerks desk, on the left hand
side of the platform the city at
torneys desk, and in conceived
arrangement to the platform and city
attorneys desk, the desks of the alder
men. : railing would separate this
part Of chamber from the main part
of the auditorium This arrange
ment, which with some arrangement
for the accommodation of the press
which the aldermen has overlooked,
would undoubtedly be good one, and
require but a small expense.

A trip to Europe which was planned

after the testimony was given by Mrs

deavor was made to ascertain whether

in her testimony. To Offset this, At
torney ]. c. Everett of Chicago, who
is one of the counsels for the de-
fendant. took the stand and had writ

MINERS MAY
SOON ADJOURN
SECRET MEETING OF TWO FAC.
TIoNs AT DEs MONIES MAY
HAVE SETTLED TROUBLE.

Des Moines, Nov. 4.-As the result
of an informal conference between
the leaders of the opposing factions in
the fight now being waged within the
ranks Of the Iowa district of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America held at
the Elliott hotel last night it is prob
able that compromise will be effect
ed and the controversy closed immed-
lately. The conference was secret and
the parties to it maintained the strict
est silence regarding the results ar
rived at.
The calling of this consultation is
the first sign that the Baker forces in
the convention now in session at the
Odd Fellows hall are weakening. UP
to the present time Baker and his
colleagues have predicted confidently
that the outcome of the trial which
has been in session since Tuesday
would clear Baker and Archibald of
the charges of libel placed against
them by Jonas Gott.
During yesterday morning and aft
vile local union called by the execu-
tive session board to uphold the
charges made by Gott delivered all of
their testimony. After they had been
severely cross-examined by the dele
gates to the convention and put
through the strictest kind of sweat
ing they were excused and the prose-
cution closed its case,
After their testimony was all in
there seemed to be little doubt in the
minds Of the majority of the delegates
to the convention that Baker and
Archibald had grossly libeled Presi-
dent White during meeting of the
Centerville local That they had
charged him with using improper in
huence to secure his election to the
presidency of the district was made
plain.
The meeting held at the Elliott last
night was the result of overtures
made by the Baker men to members OF
the White faction. 1t was a notice
that they are beaten All they can now
hope for is that White and his party in
order to prevent a break in the ranks
of the district will have the conven-
ton compromise the matter and let
Archibald and Baker off without the
full penalty provided by the constitu-
tion of the district for case of this
kind.
Baker, who is the secretary and
treasurer of the district, is charged by
Jonas Gott of the Centerville local
union with lobeling President John P,
White at a meeting of the Centeryille
Union.
