Adventures of l.. c. White, a sub
stitute tackle on the University OF
Iowa foot ball team in accompany
ing his team to Urbana, ILL.,, for the
game with Illinois, have just become
known. White rode part of the
way on top of a Pullman, clad, in
scanty early morning attire, and
was nearly frozen when the train
stopped and he could crawl off.
. The young man left the coach at
station to mail a letter to a young
woman. The porter closed the
vestibule and when White return
ed as the train started he grabbed
the side rails and climbed to the top
of the car, where he remained until
the next stop.
One suspects the young man men
toned in the above dispatch is Le-
land Cobb White of Harlan. The
initials and the circumstances would
so indicate.

Caught Muling Bull

Monday an enraged western bull
just shipped into the Sioux City
stock yards scaled the ten-foot fence
at the yards and closely pursued, fled
toward the Missouri river.
At the riven bank he did not hes
itate, as was expected, but dashed
into the icy water and swan couple
of hundred yards to an island form
ed during the early part of the sum-
mer. AS these islands are usually
formed of quicksand 1t was believed
the animal would sink in the sand
and that he would soon be lost sight
Of Not so, however. The dry
weather hardened the sand until the
bar or island was like a great slab
of stone. The bull was safe, but
he did not attempt to swim the west
channel, contented himself brows-
ing the short grass that had grown
there late in the fall.
Half a dozen cowboys were low
cred by rope from the combination
bridge to the island and finally las
seed the bull after which a longer
and heavier rope was attached and
a heavy truck in the Nebraska side
finally dragged the big brute into
the water and safe onto land again.

Coal Miner Tells Own Story

Coal Miner Tells Own Story
While the coal miners are subject
to some just criticism for their
course in the strike yet they have
some real grievances which should
be righted The Perry Tribune gives
the miners side from an evident in
telligent and fair-minded miner:
An interview with A. r. Brown, an
Iowa miner since was IL years or
age, who is visiting in Perry, gives
another angle from which to con-
slider the coal strike. He says that
the miners are on a strike through
orders of the general organization.
That the Iowa miners are in a very
much better condition than their
brother workers in the east. In fact
that there is little friction between
the miners and operators in this
state but that local unions are out in
obedience to orders received from
national headquarters.
Inspite of this Mr.. Brown says
that there are many conditions in
Iowa mines that should be remedied.
Mr.. Brown presents some facts with
reference to the hours of work and
the pay of miners that will affect
the general understanding of the
five day, six hour demand made by
the miners. He points out that
the average miner is employed only
about six months of the year, and
that during this time he must earn
his livelihood for the year. Miners
contend that five hours work in the
foul air and gases of the mine is all
that any man should be required to
put in, and that curtailing of the
working days will stretch their time
of employment over the months
that are now idle time with them.
AS to wages Mr.. Brown states that
big wages as published are individ-
ual cases picked out with the idea Of
emphasizing the miners wages; that
the average miner earns around SO
a day. Their wage is based on the
tonnage they produce. That out Of
the miners daily wage he must pay
one-half the cost of the shot firer,
and must furnish his own tools, re-
pair bills, and blacksmithing. The
tool kit costs about $40 and that
this in part must be renewed every
few weeks He quoted the case OF
two miners who in two weeks re-
! ceived S116.73. These men worked
100 hours, or almost IA days of
eight hours to earn this amount.
When they came out Of the mine they
were "dead to the world" listless
and utterly exhausted. Even with
their long hours they would not
have earned so large a check had it
not been that they were working in
particularly good field, where the
mining was easy and the coal free
| from rock lodges. Sometimes the
men must work in veins that yield
but little tonnage for much work.
Where the conditions are too bad the
operators make an allowance which
in part makes up for the difficulty
of the work.
Mr. Brown had no complaint re-
garding his own treatment or his

NEWS FROM OVER
PARTS OF IOWA
MATTERS OF INTEREST In VARI-
Gus LOCALITIES THAT HAVE
GENERAL NEWS VALUE ..
"Honest Pete" Wins

Never was as much interest shown
in the performance of a professional
corn husker as was manifested at
Atlantic last Monday when n. p.
Christensen, the prominent real es-
tate dealer, wagered that he could
husk and crib SO bushels of corn be-
tween sunrise and sunset. The
contest was staged at the Ray Neal
farm south of Atlantic.
The contest grew out of discus
sion regarding the corn picking abil-
fly of Mr.. Christensen, and in order
TO silence those who were skeptical
of his ability, he offered to wager
500 that he could husk and crib
SO bushels of corn between sunrise
and sunset. The offer was prompt
ly accepted by a syndicate headed by
Frank S. White and the money
posted.
Mr.. Christensen was in the field at
the first peep of the sun and the
against the knock-board. At 1890
he had husked and cribbed 35 bush
els and his hackers became enthusi-
astic, while the White syndicate be-
gan to withdraw from the field. AS
the pie III the "dSOu COulluuSu W
grow, White and his cohorts re-
membered that they had an engage
ment and got into a waiting auto
mobile.
When the sun went down, marking
the time limit, Mr.. Christensen had
husked and cribbed fifty-four bush
els, and his friends were busy extend
ing congratulations. His only COM
ment was: 81 merely wanted them
to know that l am still good for a
days work"
All day long the telephone at the
Neal home was busy as Atlantic peo-
pie were anxious to know how the
contest was progressing. Several
automobile loads of people visited
the farm during the day, and several
snapshots were taken of Mr.. Chris
Jensen in action.

merest chance few weeks ago in a
little village in Scotland. Neither
knew the other was in the country.
They were Roy Harlan and Harry
Hopley. The meeting took place
at little town where Harlan, who
is touring Scotland, stopped for
dinner. Attracted to a cattle sale
nearby, Mr.. Harlan was surprised to
see Hopley amony the bidders. The
latter went to Scotland several weeks
ago to buy Short-Horns for his Cass
county ranch. Mr.. Harlan, who is
an Atlantic man, went overseas in
the Y. NJ. G. A. work. The last few
months he has spent touring the con-
tinent on bicycle. He will return

May Change Officers of Company


The secretary of the Atlantic
Railway company has sent out not
ices of a caucus to be held at Kim
ballton on Saturday, November 20,
at one o'clock, and an annual meet
ing of the stockholders to be held
at Atlantic on Monday, December /.
At the caucus the stockholders VIII
vote their preference on election Oh
directors for the coming year and as
to amending article one of the art
icles of incorporation. December LIST
at the Atlantic offices of the COM
pany, the annual meeting of the
company will be held and officers
elected for the coming year. The
stockholders will have the privilege
of voting their stock either in per-
son or by written proxy. A vote
will also be taken on the matter OF
changing article one of the articles
of incorporation. Article one now
reads: 1.-THE name and style of
this corporation shall be the Allan
tic Northern Railway Company and
its. principal place of business shall
be in Atlantic, Cass county, Iowa"
The proposed amendment TO Article
one reads, THE name and style of
this corporation shall be the Allan
tic Northern Railway Company and
its principal place of business shall
be in Kimballton. Audubon county,
Iowa. All the stockholders should
make it a point to be present at the
annual meeting, or to have their
stock represented as II is necessary
to have two-thirds vote of the
stock in order to change the articles
of Incorporation. Tuesday evening
the directors met with the finance
committee and the secretary The
secretary reported that all the old
bonds were in and the stock being
cancelled, and the new stock was be-
ing issued as rapidly as possible.
Although all the new stock may not
be issued in time for the annual
meeting, all who have subscribed
will have chance to vote. The
old board is leaving the business in
good shape and their successors will
have an easier time of it than the
present officers have had. The
present management of the railway
company, we believe, is as efficient
as any the road has had in its his
tory. When II comes to choosing
