Mr.. J. w. B. Cole
Dear Friend: We'll Mr.. Cole it has
been 30 long since / have written a
letter that | hardly know how to COM
mence. The hot season has com
menced here and the days are very
warm. | have been working lately
from twelve to sixteen hours day.
We have had one strike after another
for the last two months and / have
been going day and night. We have
had street car strike here for the
last three weeks and now all the ma
tives are boycoting the cars and
throwing stones at them during the
the night. They have derailed sevo-
raj cars but so far no one has been
hurt very bad but it gives the Police a
great deal more extra work We put
the President of the Labor Union in
Prison for four months for making
threats to do damage to q business
firm here, but still the strike goes on.
L received letter from Emma a
couple of weeks ago stating that she
was married but | have not had time
to answer her letter. Today is the
first time in q month that | have not
had to do extra duty. l only worked
eight hours today and that made it
seem like Sunday, to get some rest.

year and almost two months. We
are getting along now somewhat bet
| ter than at first as | have not had any
thing to do with her family for eight
months. There is something about
the Spaniards that | never did like,
they all seem to me to be two-taced
aud they don't care very much for
Americans anyway unless they can
have everything their own way.
Well, Taft is sitting on the lid now
and the natives don't have near as
! much confidence in him as they did
, Eve years ago.
Well, Mr.. Cole, can truthfully say
have held private conversation
with the President Of the United
States several times and have helped
him to mount his horse many times,
when he went out for ride He had
a very hard time to get on his horse
because he was so fat. That was when
/ was on duty at the Palace in 1903. a
short while before he was made Sec'y
of War. Mr.. Taft always seemed 10
me to be jolly and for my part l really
liked him althou III he had many en-
emy's here among the Americans. |
believe Mr.. Taft ought to make good
President as he has been in Washing
ton long enough to know what the
country needs and in the past he gen
orally always has used good Judge
ment.
Well, Mr.. Cole how are all the peo-
pie around Audubon. | don't believe
| | would know many were / to come
back now. How is Mrs Cole getting
along? Give her my best regards.
Well, Mr.. Cole, ten years ago at this
| very time, 600 p. M. ] was in battle at
Taguig and it was warm fight. My
company lost 2 and thirteen were
wounded. | will remember the 18th
of March for a long time.
got letter from my mother a
while back and she is at Council
Bluffs yet but she did not say any
thing about Brown. Well, l will send
my best regards to all my old Audi
bon friends and close for this time. /
will not wait so long to write next
time, SO goodby
From your friend

gate,
The commissioner said hat he had
conferred with the members OF the
association and the trouble appeared to
be that no surety company could be
found which was willing to give the
bond unless guaranteed in turn by the
association. The companies demanded
that fifteen of the members give their
personal bond to the company. That.
Mr.. Lambert said. they were unwilling
to do. although sixty members had
to give surety to the extent Of
their subscriptions for the three-year
term.
In the case Of North Broad street
and Market street the fifteen members
had been found to put up the bond.
The matter was left in the hands OF
the chairman for further investigation.

RELATIVES WANT WEALTH.

Sister of Harvey Lucas Lays Claim to
That Still Hidden Treasure.
Des Moines, Dec. ia sister Of
Harvey Lucas, who died recently,
leaving an immense sum of money Sc
GREETED about his home here, has laid
claim to the wealth. The sister is Mrs.
Joseph Mitchell, of Bedford. Iowa She
has written to S. S. Lippert, a nephew
Of Lucas. laying claim to the buried
fortune. 1t was not known here that
Lucas had any relatives living.
Relatives of the late Mr.. Lucas have
been heard from in all quarters of the
state since the story of his buried
treasure began circulation. Every day
brings letters from hitherto unknown
relatives who want share of the for
tune.
The search for the hidden fortune
continues with undated vigor, but as
V without success Several places
where the money was formerly kept
have been laid bare, but the searchers
are as much in the dark as ever in
regard to the present location of the
old mans fortune.
Just before his death Lucas is al
legged to have said that his wealth.
claimed to be 100000. would be
turned over to Lippert. The appearance
on the field of the sister probably
means a legal fight in case the fortune
is unearthed.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH ousTED.

Commissioner Van Duyn Brings Ac-
ton for Violation Of Child Labor Law
Des Moines. Dec. 15.-State Labor
Commissioner Van Duyn has begun a
campaign against the employment of
messenger boys who are under the age
of Is, provided for by the child labor
laws of the state.
j. c. Walker, one of the inspectors
in the labor commissioners office, filed
information in Justice Cope's court
yesterday against the Postal Telegraph
Company charging it with violation of
the child labor law in that it is en-
pioying Otto Reese as messenger
boy. Young Reese is only 10 years Of
age and has no certificate of age as
provided by the state law.
Commissioner Van Duyn also served
notice yesterday that children under
the age required by law must not be
employed in the stores and shops dur
ing the holiday rush. The holiday sea-
son and rush offers no excuse for the
violation of the child labor laws" de-
clared Commissioner Van Duyn, and
unless the Des Moines shopkeepers and
merchants refrain from the practice of
hiring children during the rush. l will
institute proceedings against every one
of them. My inspectors are in the city
and they will be at work"

MORE PLASTER MILLS.
Plans Under Way For Two Additional
Plants at Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge. Dec 1.-Two more big
plaster mills for Fort Dodge, and one
of them to be as large if not the largest
in the United States, is the material
and pleasing boost to the building
prospects for Fort Dodge and vicinity
for next year.
The two new big plaster mills that
are practically assured. will cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000. and the
larger of the two will be erected by
the United States Gypsum Company
and the other by the American Ce-
ment Plaster Company. which company
purchased a valuable deposit in the
vicinity of Gypsum the first of the
present year.
Both mills will be of fire proof
construction turnout The United
States Gypsum Company mill will be
a steel MILL while the American Ce-
ment Plaster Company has planned
concrete construction, similar TO one of
its mills located at Grand Rapids,
Mich. The capacity of the United
States Gypsum Company mill will be
the largest of any mill at present
owned and operated by that company.
