I.O.O.F. MEMORIAL LIST
Loss of Old Records Makes 1t Very
e.. .- Incomplete.

The memorial list of the Odd Eel
lows dead is somewhat incomplete on
account of the loss of some of the
old records, but it is the nearest cor.
rect of any list that has sever been
published 1t was made up by care
full checkingNof the records available.
At one time or another the Odd Eel.
low lodge of Oskaloosa has had as
it's members most of the men who
have had to do with early local his.
tory. The first lodge was organized
in 1S45 when there was only one
buggy in the place and that was own
ed by Sheriff William Edmundson.
The starting of the lodge was hailed
as a great happening at that time
and most of the business men of that
date Joined" The first officers, OF
which record is in possession of the
lodge today were William H. Sewers,
George w. Baer, James McMurray,
r. B. Rutledge, James w. and T. d.
Porter, A. S. Nichols and ]. S. Kins-
man and John w. Jones, and yet
none of these names appear on the
memorial tablets of the order, the
earlier records having been lost. The
first death of which record remains
today occurred in 1858, and numer-
GUS members of the order passed to
the great beyond before that time.
A list of the honored men who at
one time were members of this
order, one of the very first in Iowa,
would number well along in the hun
dreds.

PHASE OFF. J. JONES CASE.
Stated Appeal Pending and Probably
Argued Next Month.

1t was stated on Thursday that
the appeal of John j. Jones, the
Branchville attorney who was con-
victed at Orangeburg last January
of the murder of Abe Pearlstine at
Branchville and sentenced to ten
years and one month Imprisonment,
will be argued before the Supreme
Court in December. Jones is in the
Penitentiary, and has been there for
some time awaiting the outcome OF
his case, which will be argued in De-
cember.
Those familiar with the case will
recall that Jones and Pearlstine be-
came involved in a fist fight at
Branchville in the postoffice and that
LATTER the fight had ended, Jones
turned as he was about to reach the
door and shot Pearlstine down. The
case was tried before Judge Men,
minger, at Oranseburg, ana result
ed in Jones being found guilty of
manslaughter and sentenced to ten
years and one months Imprisonment
in the Penitentiary. Following the
conviction, Jones remained in the
jail at Orangeburg for two weeks and
was then removed to the Peniten-
tiary, where he now is. He is not
in stripes and much comment has
been caused by this fact, for it was
generally thought that the appeal to
the Supreme Court had been aban-
doned.
1t is now stated, however, that an
appeal to the highest judicial tribu-
nal is pending; that the record in
the case is not complete, owing to
some conflict which arose between
attorneys for the defence and prose-
cution as to certain matters, which
have been submitted to Judge Mem
minger for settlement and his de-
cision has not yet been made known
1t is stated as soon as he renders
decision and the case is returned 1t
will be filed with the Supreme Court.

PAUL BEATTIE SAYS
BROTHER CONFESSED
HENRY REMARKED AFTER KILL.
ING SORRY HE HAD DONE IT."
Evidence to Show That Dissipation Of
Beattie Was About to Cause Break
With His Father.

Chesterfield Court House, Va.-Be-
tween gulps of intense emotion, Paul
u. Beattie, cousin of Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., who stands indicted for the murder
of his wife, revealed on the witness
stand that the accused told him twenty
four hours after the murder how sorry
he was she had done it," a circumstance
relating to the crime that the witness
hitherto had suppressed.
Coming as dramatically and as unex-
pectedly as the pathetic tale an hour
before of Mrs. r. V. Owen, mother of
the dead woman, as to the domestic
infelicity of her daughter, due to the
husbands physical condition, the brief,
but thrilling testimony, given by Paul
Beattie created a profound sensation.
Paul Beattie poured out a tale which
confessedly had troubled his mind not
only because he purchased the shotgun
for Henry, but because he did not tell
all he knew of the case. With quivering
lips and determined eyes, he set forth
the story against which his heart and
sympathy had for days been revolving.
81 hated to testify against my W
flesh and kim" he murmured as the
muscles of his throat pulsated, "but my
wife, my child and the duty I owe to ny
town forced me to do So"
The gasp that rose simultaneously
from the throats of those in the stuffy
court room was strikingly audible, and
for a moment the crowd held its breath
.ul:1o Dali Doo%<.o continued
Henry himeslf told me that he want
ed me to stick by him, but l said to him,
This looks black to me, and you've got
me into a lot of trouble Henry told
me: 4 wish to God l hadn't done it. !
would not have done it for a million dol
lars, but she never loved me, she only
married me for my money"
Paul Beattie paused and his plairtive
tone sank lower, but he did not break
down. A hushed stiffness prevailed in
the room as his next words were awaited,
but he said no more, and bracing himself
in his chair, turned his sharp chin to-
ward the bench, where the prisoner and
counsel sat, and looked fxedly at the
latter, in preparation for the cross-ex'
animation.
Through the testimony of the dead
woman's mother the prosecution endeav
ored to define the motive for the crime
the fear that news of his misconduct
might reach Henry c. Beattie, ST., and
cause a rupture between the son and the
father, upon whom he depended.

WEATHER
IN COTTON BELT
DETERIORATION OF COTTON
CHECKED IN ATLANTIC STATES.
Excessive Rainfall Affects Four States
Rapid Deterioration in Texas and
Oklahoma.

Memphis, Tenn.-The decline in the
condition of the cotton plant which set in
several weeks ago has been checked in
the two Carolinas, Georgie. and Ala
bama or has ceased altogether by reason
of more favorable weather, rain having
fallen in the Carolinas and dry weather
supervened in the two latter states. Cot
ton is early in the Atlantic states and
without more rain will now open rapidly.
A fair crop is assured and a large ono
seems a possibility despite the deteriora-
ton that has been suffered.
In Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana excessive rainfall contin.
ued during the week and some Of the re-
ports take a very gloomy view OF the
outlook. The chief damage has resulted
from shedding of young forms by rea-
son of the rank growth of the stalk and
from boil weevils in the southern part OF
the valley territory. 1t is evident, how
ever, that bright weather would vastly
reduce present estimate of damage.
In Oklahoma and Texas a period OF
extreme heat, accompanied by a burning
sun and hot winds, caused a quick set
back to cotton which had but lately
taken on fresh growth from rain. The
plant was being forced to an early ma,
turity, but rains toward the close OF
the week put an end to the condition.

VAN SCHAlCK GIVEN PAROLE
Captain of Famous Steamer Slocum Is
Liberated.

New York..Capt. William A. Van
Schaick, who was commander of the ex-
cursion steamer General Slocum when it
burned in Hell Gate, June Is, 1904, with
the loss of a thousand lives, was pa
rolled by the United States government
Saturday and returned to his home in
this city from Sing Sing prison.
Following the historic catastrophe, the
captain of the Slocum was made a fed
eral prisoner on the charge of neglect
ing duty and failing to provide protec-
ton and life preservers on the steamer.
A considerable time later he was con-
victed in New York and sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment. He had served
two and one-half years.

QUESTION OF STRIKE
UP TO EACH UNION
POLICY OF INFRINGEMENT ON
ALL ROADS STIRS WORKMEN.
Suspending Orders for Higher Rates Has
Resulted in Dismissal of $3.50
Men.

Chicago.-W. L. Park, vice-president
of the Illinois Central road, Tuesday
indicated that the officials of the road
have determined not to deal with the
federated shop employees, representatives
of whom now are here from the South.
In an official statement Mr.. Park said:
"We received a communication from
the international union officials asking
for q conference and have said to them
that we will meet accredited representa-
tives Of organizations with whom we
have contracts, to discuss matters con-
nected Herewith"
President McCreary of the federation,
who spent most of the day comforting
with representatives of the International
unions, said Mr.. Parks statement was q
reiteration of former expressions. He
said:
1--WE have known the company was
willing to meet with the International
| officials of the nine unions. Some of
the officials upon whom power to act
has been conferred by the international
presidents have not reached here.
A conference between the railroad and
the union officials will be arranged az
soon as all the labor representatives ar
rive.
General Manager Park is also expect
ed to raise the same issue as General
Superintendent of Motive Power M. X.
Barnum. The latter in a letter to the
international presidents stated that no
formal notice had been given the COM
pany by each of the trades, as pro-
vided in their contracts.
His contention in effect was that the
present plan of federation of shop en-
ployes was contrary to the contracts and
would not be recognized.
His letter concluded:
"We therefore notify you that the
Illinois Central and Yazoo and Missis.
sippi Valley roads will consider a strike
of employees, members of the organiza'
tions you represent, as a gross violation
Of existing agreements and a breach OF
faith. We insist that you compel a strict
observance of the agreement now in
force in all particulars"
Following a plan for retrenchment
railroads of the country in the past yeal
have dismissed $3.50 men, effecting
a net annual saving in operating ex
penses of 1914 ,oOO, 900, according to a re
port just made public.
The decrease in expense and mainte
nance is said to be the result of actor
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which refused to allow the road.
to put into effect a general increase O
freight rates. The largest reduction.

SEVEN PERISH IN STORM
Great Damage Done to Rice and Sc,
Island Cotton Crops.

Charleston, S. c. (via Summerville,
S. C.)-Seven persons known to be
dead, many injured, and property dam
age of more than 100000 seems to be
the sum total of the damage wrought
by the terrific storm which struck
Charleston Sunday afternoon, isolating
that city from the rest of the world.
At the height of the storm the wind
reached a velocity of ninety-four miles
an hour, while the tide rose eight feet
or more at the battery in front of the
city.
Great damage is feared for the rice
and sea island cotton industries by the
rise of the tide. Heavy damage was
done to these crops in the storm of last
October and another severe blow might
prove much of a death blow to both in
dustries.
