Iowa Miners viii Aid.

Des Moines. Nov. 17-Des Moines and
Iowa miners are going to the relief of
the widows and children of the miners
who lost their lives in the terrible
mine catastrophe at Cherry. III.
Des Moines money from the local
miners will be sent to the needs of
those made destitute in the horror.
Plans for systematic aid to the suf-
fering are now being considered by
local mine leaders.
A representative of the United Mine
Workers of Iowa was sent to Cherry
last night to look over the situation
and see what is the best thing to be
done for the suffering ones. This in
formation came from President John
p. White, of Oskaloosa.
The man who went from the Iowa
miners was Mr.. Cochrane. member of
the executive board from the oskaloo-
sa district.

his life were spent there. Finally ne
learned the harness making trade and
about twenty years ago he came 10
Mason City. While working in the old
kuck harness shop he saved enough
from his earnings OF $40 week to start
a first class harness shop OF his own.
All the time he was reading law in his
room at nights.
Woman's Curiosity Profitable.
Then he met the girl who was to be
his wife and who was to establish his,
relationship with the wealthy eastern
woman. This was q daughter of Will
liam Shanks, a prosperous Portland
township farmer. and they We're married
about ten years ago. He knew little of
his percentage and could remember
neither of his parents But some of the
curiosity and she was determined to
learn definitely about his people in the
east. She succeeded and thru her eff
forts 1t was definitely established that
her husband was the nephew OF Mrs
Ida Flagler ex-wife Of Henry NJ Flag
Ter, former Standard Oil capitalist and
builder of the Florida East Coast rail-
way. This was about six years ago
and ever since he has been receiving
an annuity of So 900 from the estate Of
this aunt who had been insane for
many years.
Mrs. Fagler's Life Story.
The story of her life has much TO do
With the queer turn of fate by which
the local man is now heir to millions.
She was Miss Ida Shourds. of Philadel-
phia- and one of the most beautiful
young women in the Quaker City when
she married Henry Nj. Flagler in 1883
Several years later she lost her reason.
AT that time they lived in Florida and
in 1901 the Florida legislature passed
bin providing that incurable insanity
of four years duration was legal
ground for divorce Ten days after the
bill became a law Flagler filed a petit
ton for divorce and two months after
the decree was granted he married Miss
Lilly KEENAN,. But when the decree
was granted he settled upon the insane
woman the sum of s4000000.
For many years Mrs. Ida f'lagler has
been constantly attended by DR.. Carlos
| f. Macdonald, who was her custodian.
| Her nephew of this city visited her
| many times after their relationship was
| discovered and he says that she was at
| times perfectly rational. 1t appears
that the insanity was of a periodical
nature.
Mrs. Flagler was seriously injured
while auto riding with her custodian
several days ago. and her death Satur-
+, day was the result of injuries received
in that accident.
William w. Taylor and his wife are

Because two extra engines belonging
to the st. Paul & Des Moines road had
been rendered unserviceable by small
collisions, and the third was attached
to the special train which took Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich to MINNEAPOLIS 800
miners at Enterprise We're thrown out
of work for a day. The engine attach
ed to Senator Aldrichs train is ordin-
arily used to place empty cars on the
mine switches during the night and
haul away the filled ones during the
day. SO when the miners went to work
the following morning they beheld the
cars which they had filled the day be-
fore standing on the tracks Conse-
quently, the work of the mine was tied
up pending the shortage in engines.
Greenfield.

before the state railroad commission
the past week was that of residents

Cumberland branch of the Burlington
thru Greenfield. 1T is stated that for
the last dozen years not regular pas
senger train has been run on this
branch except on Sundays, and that
the service has been maintained by at
taching a coach to the rear of a freight
train. "A mass meeting of the people
interested has been called to meet at
Greenfield and to consider what shall
be done. The railroad company has in
sisted that the business on the branch
line will not warrant any Improvement
of the service, but it is believed this
can be shown to be an error. 1t is
probable that a provisional service Will
be established to find out what can

investigation of the riot Saturday
evening after the Ames game when the
Coldron opera house was the object
of an attack from 1000 students. high
school pupils and town men and boys.
1t is believed that the city will settle
for the damage, which. according to

that the University of Iowa faculty will
take no action at its meeting today
The opera house management consid-
cred itself lucky in getting out with sc
little damage, for once had the students
gained access to the house fight
would have followed and the structure
would probably have been wrecked.
1t has also been reported that the
fines on Red" Costello and Earl
