ADJUSTMENTS.
At the orpheun.

Four entertaining vaudeville acts are
offered to Orpheum patrons for the
last half of the week. with dancing
playing prominent part in the even
ing's program. The two dancing acts
are the best, featuring Franklin Fox,
colored singer and lancer, and Hall
and Sharkey, who do dances of vari-
Gus nations, appropriately dressed for
each one. Mr.. Fox dances well, but
some Of his old jokes detract from the
enjoyment of his performance. Hall
and Sharkey have pretty costumes and
do intricate steps sk!llfully. Mr.. and
Mrs. McGreevy sing and spar back and
forth in conversational way, Mr..
McGreevy also doing a worth while
slack wire act. A novelty is introduced
by Ida Russell who dresses as a house
maid, and goes down in the audience,
busting vigorously and making humor-
Gus remarks. She afterwards sings
several up-to-date songs. The audi
ences were of fair size.

prised Thomas j. Wilson, principal.

committed suicide near Albion in 1855:

The true way that Albion, or Lafay-
cite, came to get this school building
is as follows Marietta was the coun-
ty seat; Marshalltown wanted 1t. AL
bion held the balance of power at the
polls. Marietta people came to Albion
and told them that Marietta could not
hope to retain the county seat. and
that IL Lafayette wanted to get the
county seat Marietta would help them.
Marshalltown went to Albion and pro-
posed that II Albion would help Mar
shalltown get the county seat Marshall
town, in turn, would see that Lafayette
got the county high school, each coun-
ty at that time being allowed a county
high school to be paid for by moneys
derived from the swamp land funds.
Marshalltown got the county seat
Jan. 1, 1850. What Albion got in the
way of the high school Albion and the
people of its vicinity paid for. by sub
scription. Albion has been cursed by
this old school building almost ever
since, and in my opinion 1t was the
cause of the downfall of our village. I
will not say that the school has not
done good, but 80 many old people
moved to Albion so that they might
send their children to school that AL
bion took the name Of Saints Rest.
You could direct a letter to Saints
Rest. Marshall county, Iowa. and it
would reach its destination in Albion.
But as to the school, it has always
been a source of expense to keep 1t up,
or to redeem it from sherifrs sale. Fin
ally. in 1898, we turned it into a con-,
solidated school. Now we have voted
to bond the district to build new and
modern building. Robert Denbow,

Woman, Me,,bs, Of
Home Partial TO
Soldier Husbands

That she loves the uniform of blue.
and Is partial to defenders OF the stars
and stripes. is indicated forcibly by
Mrs. Hulda Stewart Davis NJ tinker Of
the soldiers home, who has now taken
upon herself fourth soldier-husband,
member Of the home. Mrs. Minkler-
Budd is IS and her latest acquisition
in the shape OF husband lis one year
her junior.
The soldiers home appears to have
been productive as Gretna Green In
the case Of this bride. as three of her
husbands were secured there. Mrs.
Minkler- Budd's first husband was
Charles NJ. Stewart, who lived at Gill
man before he came to this city, and,
with his wife. entered the home Sept.
4, 1898.
Stewart died at the home July 5,
1906. His widow then took as her
second mate w. A. Davis. Of Wood
bine, who was member OF the home.
He died Jan. IS. 1910. and Mrs.
Stewart Davis became then the blush
ing bride of George W. Minkler. a
Central City member of the home.
Minkler died Nov. "a, 1914, and on
April 10, according to information re-
ceived here from Central City, w. III.
Budd, member Of the home from
Sioux City, took the lonesome Widow
Minkler to be his for better or for
worse"
AS the home rules compel a furlough
of six months following marriage Of
members, MIR. and Mrs. Budd are at
Central City, where the bride has a
little home that became hers after the
death of Minkler.
But the most important question
that has been raised at the home since
word was received telling Of Mrs.
Stewart Minkler's marriage is by
which husband is the new Mrs. Budd
to be buried when the time comes for
her to shuttle off this mortal coil"
When Stewart died space was LETT
by his grave in the home cemetery, on
which to bury his widow. When Davis
died space was left beside his grave
to bury his widow. When Minkler died
a space was left beside his grave to
bury his widow.
who's who in the soldiers home
cemetery?" will be case for some one
to decide some day.

MINERS FAIL TO AGREE.
Western Federation and United Mine
Workers Won't AmaIgamate.

Western Federation and United Mine
Workers Won't AnaIgamate.
No amalgamation of the United
Mine Workers of America and the
Western Federation OF Miners is the
report signed by committee represent
ing the two organizations, which have
been making a study of this question
for some time.
The report, signed by both commit
tees, Is as follows:
after having made an exhaustive
investigation Of the question of ANAL
gamaton between the United Mine
Workers Of America and the Western
Federation of Miners and after giving
full consideration to the present con-
dition Of each organization we are
forced to the conclusion that, because
of the many obstacles that now pre-
sent themselves and which will be ex-
plalned in the reports hereinafter pro-
vided for, any attempt to consummate
an amalgamation at this time would
be premature.
while we jointly agree that to ef-
feet an amalgamation of the two or
ganizations at this time would be Inn
practicable in consideration of the
views expressed by the representative
committees, we hereby decide that each
committee prepare a separate report,
stating in detail the result of their
findings, and that the same be submit
ted by each committee for the consid-
GRAFTON Of their respective organiza-
tions"
In its supplemental report the com
mittee representing the United Mine
Workers says its reasons for our not
agreeing upon plan for an amalga-
nation between our organization and
the Western Federation of Miners at
this time are purely reasons of policy
occasioned by present circumstances
affecting both organizations
The committee calls attention to the
harmonious relations that have exist
ed between their organization and the
Western Federation of Miners and
urges that this continue even though
IAN official amalgamation has not been
consummated" The committee also
calls attention to the exchange Of
cards between the two unions and
urges all United Mine Workers now In
Butte to deposit their cards with the
Western Federation of Miners.

FOR A Is YEAR AGE LIMIT.
illinois Factory Inspector Says Few
Industries Train Children.

Illinois Factory Inspector Says Few
Industries Train Children.
A recent report of the state factory
inspector of Illinois finds that only six
lines of industry offer any opportunity
of advancement to children. They are
banking. the garment industry, print
ing trades, bakeries, telegraph and tel
ephone industries and Office boys OF
the children going into these trades,
however, the report says: 1T is evi-
dent their chances would be much
brighter if they would start work after
their sixteenth birthday. Their better
training and more mature development
physically would enable them to grasp
their duties quicker and do the work
assigned to them in a more creditable
manner, SO that their advancement at
the start would be more rapid"
In other occupations wage returns
were low and opportunities for attain
ing to responsible positions slight.
"The time spent in picking up the ex-
perience that necessarily comes to chill
dren during that period between four
teen and sixteen years of age should
be spent in the classrooms and labora-
tories of our schools. The state is fall
ing short of it's duties when 1t does not
provide opportunities ~ its elementary
schools for children to secure a train
ing in the industries which will be of
greater benefit to them than can pos
sibly be secured by going into the
store, factory or office for permanent
employment"
Almost as many girls as boys were
found to be employed between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen, and an
investigation was carried on during the
year relative to their health aud phys
ical development. Physicians were
unanimous in declaring that "a girl is
unfit physically and in most cases men
tally to attempt to work in industrial
pursuits until after the age of sixteen" F"
Ohio and Michigan are already try
ing to meet the problem of the four
teen and fifteen year old child Ohio
has a fifteen year limit for boys and a
sixteen year limit for girls, while Mich
igan enacted a fifteen year limit for
both this year.

FAKE BENEvoLE LENcE.
Funds For So Called Welfare Work
Come From Toilers' Pockets.

Oom0 from OlIefS' FoCketSs
Large employers of labor who "pre-
serve the liberty of their employees"
by prosecuting such of them as dare to
show an inclination to place themselves
and their fellow workers in position
to demand just treatment, through or
ganization, are ever long on what they
are pleased to call "benevolence" as a
substitute for just treatment.
We hare heard of their sick and
accident funds, which prove ON exami-
nation to be supported by the en-
ployees themselves. with a margin left
for the company or their favored en-
ployees who manage such fund; also
we find that in order that they may
receive the benefits provided by the
fund they have subscribed to it is
generally demanded of them that they
give the company clearance of re-
sponsibility for the cause of the dis
ablement
Their free % hospitals are general
ly graft on the envelopes Of the en-
ployees, their cheap lunch rooms an
other source Of revenue to which the
unfortunate who work in their fac
tories are forced to subscribe Their
doctors are assured pay from the en-
velopes and give Indifferent attention
And then they have their annual ex-
cursions!

of the employers that they are expect
ed to show to the outside world how
happy they are in their service; to

judging a Labor Dispute.

Under the above caption the San
Francisco Bulletin makes the following
point that can well be remembered by
those who sit in judgment on labor
disputes:
"In general it is obvious that work
ingmen whose hours and conditions Of
labor are what they should be and who
have been treated by their employers
with fairness and respect will not in a
moment go mad with resentment and
rush upon the revolvers OF policemen
or the bayonets of militia. A corpora
ton which is hated by It's employees
cannot be guiltless."
