last night laid on the table the ordinance
regulating and placing a tax or license on

to the opposition manifested towards the
proposed measure by the business men of

The recommendation to lay the ordinance
on the table was decided upon at a meet
ing of the committee of the whole yester
day afternoon when the question was again
l thoroughly discussed. The aldermen finally
i decided that It was best to leave matters

estimate on the buildings at the new poor
farm Wlckham agreed to hold the warrant
until next year, but Instead presented It

On the other hand Contractor Wlckham
emphatically denies having made any such
agreement with the board and says that
when he took the warrant he fully ex
pected to have It marked "Not Paid for

when the county treasurer paid It. Mr.
Wlckham states that he is ready to turn

The question now to be decided by the

usually found In uqli reports. The last
legislature provided for factory Inspection
and Commissioner Rrtgham Inspected 318
planes where persons ro employed and
made recommendations as to safety and
sanitary appliances or suggestions as to
Improvements. The report shows that his
recommendations were complied with fully
In only a small proportion of the cases.
The record of 81 accidents was obtained,
of which forty-one were fatal, and the
commissioner shows thtj necessity for more
legislation on Jhls, A new feature of the
report, which Is julte 'Comprehensive, Is the
report on wages paid to different classes of
employes In ajl the cities of the stat.
not averages, but, actual day or week
wage. The report onr growth and results
of organization of laboring men Is unus
ually complete. It shows a wonderful in
crease In organixatiori In Iowa In' recent
years and a considerable ndvance In the
wages received and shortening of hours
of labor tut the result of such organization.
The trade agreements In force In the state
are set forth in full, and it Is shown (hit
In these is provision for arbitration In
many cases, which accounts for the re
markably small number of strikes consid
ering the results accomplished by the work
Ingmen. Tables are given showing exactly
the cost of materials and labor In different
Industries and the profits to the manufac
turers. With this Is given Information re
garding the possibilities of new Industries

needful legislation, especially to perfect
the factory Inspection methods and render
that work more effective.

tion by President Bell. Five wagonloads
of floral tributes were ent to the church, j
and they rame from friends of the governor

The business men of Grinnell have de

board recommending that the school be
located at a point nearer Council Bluff
and on better land ha raised much dis
cussion over the matter In the state, and
some talk of having th school removed
to a more centra1 location before the work
of rebuilding ! commenced. The Cora-
I merclul excliangu of Grinnell Is first to tak

Salt Over Color Line.
R. N. Hyde, colored, a wealthy resident
of thla cfty, will go to- Centerville this week
to prosecute a damage case against J. A.
Davis because of the refusal of Davis to
serve him In a public restaurant. Several
months ago Hyde went Into the depot cafo
at Moulton and sat down at the lunch
counter. He asked for coffee and sand
wich. Davis refused to serve him, but told
Hyde he would sell him the goods nnd ho
could eat and drink outside. Hyde said he
was surprised at the refusal and asked
Davis If he was to be understood as de
clining to terve him on account of his be
ing a colored man. Davis retorted that ho
wa running the place and would serve
whom he pleaded and he would not per
mit Hyde to eat there. After some angry
words and several refusals, Hyde told
Davis that he would Bee what the laws of
the state had to say on the subject, so he
caused Davis' arrest. He was tried under
the civil rights act and convicted. The
damage suit followed.
QUARRYING THE GRANITE HILL
Great Value of the Marble Quarries
of Vermont How the Work
Is Done.
The early settlers iif Xfv tngluud did not
know what a mistake they made when
they called the mountains of New Hamp
shire White and those of Vermont Green.
It is true the beautiful color of the ver
dure which covers the Vermon peaks
seems to give them an appropriate name,
but In places where the top has been
scraped off masses of marble have been
found which are almost equal to the famed
products of Italy. The story goes that one
of these deposits, worth literally millions
of dollar, was traded by the man who
owned It In the early day of the state
for a mule, o that he could move his
household goods into a country- where the
soil was richer. From this "stone farm"
have come monument and statuary which
can be seen In all parts of the United
States.
It was in the colonial duy that the first
Vermont marble quarry was opened in the
little town of Dorset, shut, like some of the
other great resources of New Kngland,
the extent of the marble beds was not
realized until about twenty-live years ago.
Since then, however, the Industry has ad
vanced so rapidly that within the last
ten years the capital Invested In it, as well
as the production, has Increased over 50
per cent. At present over $::.000,000 worth
of marble Is being taken out yearly by the
$.000 men employed In the quurrles. while
nearly t.000 others are busily engaged with
chlse and mallet or power tool In cutting
It Into various form for ornament and
use. While the marble embraces a variety
of hues, from deep black to (he purest
white, the bulk of It is of an exceedingly
fine grain, and so durable that It is being
used for public buildings and edifices
throughout the country, as we! as for
mere ornamentation.

hundred feet In depth and nearly half a
mile In length, yet the walls are principally
composed of solid marble, although the
blocks have been cut out so regularly that
thoy appear to be built up like the palaces
of the Greeks and Roman. Even at thla
depth, however, the beds continue down
ward as far as the drill point has yet
pierced, and only a few openings haVe
thus far been made. Such Is the abundance
of the material that It Is seldom extracted
at a depth below 800 feet, owing to th
distance It must be hoisted from It bed,
but the most modern machinery Is used for
cutting and hauling It machines which
will do the work of I11O men. Marble ls too
valuable to be blown out with explosive,
so what are called channelling machine
are used, which, operated by electricity
and compressed air, cut out blocks from
the walls of white, some of which are
twenty feet In length and eight feet In
thickness. The machine 1 composed of a
set of powerful drills which bore holes
from Blx to eight Inches apart In th
blocks. Thus weakened, the block is de
tached from the wall by wedges.
Perhaps at the very mouth of the opening
from which the marble ls being taken 100
men and boys are fashioning It Into va
rious forms. Some of theae artisans have
also become expert sculptors. New York

WILL GO T0SUPREME COURT
New York Merchant Aroused of Pos
tal Frauds to Appeal
Ills C ase.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Judge I.acombe In
the I'nited States circuit court today dis
missed the writ of habeas corpus secured
lp behalf of Maurice Runkle, the New York
merchant Indicted In Washington together
with August W. Machen and A. F. Mc
Gregor, charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government through the sale to the pos
tal department of leather pouche.
The claims made In behalf of Ruuklc were
Identical with those raised and passed upon
In the George W. Beaver case. In the
Beavers case, Assistant United States At
torney Wise made the novel contention,
which was sustained by Commissioner
Hitchcock. United States Judge Holt and
United States District Judge I-acombe that
the certified copy of the Indictment waa
"the prima facie evidence of the crime" re
quired by statute, the Identity of the c- I
cused having first been established. In dls- I
missing the Runkle writ of hareas corpus ,
Judge Iacombe again sustains Mr. Wise.
The writ was evidently asked for. however,
to furnish the accused with t'. proper ma
terial with which to appeal to ':e 'Jriitei
States supreme court.

khe sings well and I know she does we
won't have a bit of fun tonight."
"Oh, yes. we will." answered the second
girl, t-millng happily. "We ll be all right."
But the o;her wa not to be so easily con
soled. "I wonder who asked her to sing?" sh
fretted. "It must have been omeon who
know all about her little trick, too. for

It."
"I asked her," said the second girl
