"Tho people of Iowa have everything to
rejoice over and nothing to regret , " said
Deputy State Labor Commissioner E. A.
Wilson yesterday when asked as to the pres
ent outlook as regards business throughout
the state In general. Mr. Wilson in his
capacity as deputy labor commissioner has
every opportunity of learning the exact con
ditions that exist and statements made by
him In this connection are founded on the
most reliable Information. The purpose of
the State Labor Bureau , which was organ
ized in 1S85 , Is to gather and systemlzo the
statistics as regard labor conditions and the
commercial and Industrial situation. The
law makcH It obligatory upon every person
In the state
employing five or more persons
to file with the bureau a sworn statement
as to the number of persons employed , num
ber of apprentices under their control , the
aggregate amount of wages paid out during
the year , the Increase or decrease of wages
during the year ; also the aggregate amount
of business done and whether such business
was an Increase or decrease as compared
with that of the previous year. The re
ports of the bureau are sent to all the public
libraries throughout the United States and
exchanged for like documents with all the
foreign countries. The law also requires
that a report must be made as regards the
ventilation of all places where employed
help has to work and also to provide pre
vention against Injury by machinery or
other dangerous places.
Mr. Wilson says that the reports that have
reached the office ot the bureau this year
show that during 1M)7 ) the number of per
sons employed In the state was about 4 per
cent above that in 1S96. The Increised
amount of money paid In wages reached 6
per cent. This , Mr. Wilson says , Is a , con
servative statement and well within the
mark. In some Instances the reports show
that employers have made a voluntary In-
craso In wages to their employes , unsolicited
on the part of the employes , but warranted
by the Increase of business. As far as the
figures show now there are only two kinds
of business In , Iowa that have suffered In
the past year and they are brick and tile
and the biscuit manufacturing. The brick
and tile business suffered a loss on account
of the dry season In 1897 which is bound
to show n depression on tiling In any state.
The cause of the decline In the biscuit busi
ness In Iowa cannot be explained Mr. Wil
son said.
Further , Mr. Wilson said , the wholesale
trade In Iowa Is In better shape today than
It has been since 1892. Some of the houses
report au increase in their business of from
MO.OOO to J7C.OOO for 1897 over 1S9G. There
are more traveling men in the employ of
those wholesale houses , made necessary to
supply the demand of the retail trade than
ever before and the feeling in all classes
of trade Is better than for several years pant.
Some concerns report that , owing to the
sharp competition In their particular line of
trade they dare not make a statement as to
the Increase or decrease In their business
for fear their competitors will get hold ot
them and make use of the reports to their
disadvantage. There Is one Industry In this
state , Mr. Wilson said , that enjoyed on In
crease In 1897 of $100,000 over 1896.
Regarding the labor situation In the state
Mr. Wilson said he finds but very few idle
men who could not obtain work If they really
wanted It. The situation ns regards the
miners comes under the Jurisdiction of the
bureau. There Is recorded but one strike
among the mln .s In thls state and only
fifty-six men were effected by It. This strike
was settled In nine days to the entire satis
faction of both the operators and the miners.
The miners are today earning more wages
than they have for some years and both the
demand for coal and miners is better. There
Is less discontent and disaffection among the
coal miners of Iowa today than ever before
in their history.
Although the reports for this year will not
be filed with the bureau until 1899 Mr. Wil
son says that the labor commlsloner. In
travellngover the state , observed that the sit
uation as regards the present year will show
an Increase In number of persons employed
and also In amount of and rate of wages
paid. The amount of commercial business
transacted In the state will show a very ma
terial Increase over that for 1897. The Indi
cations are now that this year will show
10 per cent In the Increase of persons employed -
ployed , 12 to 13 per cent Increase in amount
of wages paid and from 40 to 60 per cent
In the increase of business transacted.
The reports of the bureau are printed bi
ennially , the one containing the statistic :
for 1897 and 1898 will be given to the pub
lic next fall.

Work of the lloaril of Control ,
DBS MOINES , Oct. 30. ( Special. . ) The
Board of Control has finished the work o !
considering the bids on supplies and hai B
g done a big job , one that will save the state
it thousands of dollars. It Is astonishing hewn
n great reductions have been secured on some
articles. For instance there Is a shoo thai
Is furnished patients of the hospitals for In .
sane. It formerly cost $1.60 per pair anO
the board now buys a shoo of the same qual
ity for $1 , and In another Instance the reduc
tion was from $1.75 to $1. A rubber thai
formerly cost 50 cents In second quality I :
now bought In first quality for 30 cents , anO
so on through the list of footwear. The
difference Is usually that between ordinary '
retail prices , which the Institutions have
usually paid , and the manufacturer's prices ' ,
The first annual report of the board will be
a valuable and Interesting document. The
showing ot reduction In cost of meats will
not bo very great , because the board has
'bought ' on a rising market , all live stool
'being ' worth more than It was a year ago

WEST UNION. la. , Oct. 30 ( Speclal.- )
Burglars entered the postofllce , drilled th <
safe and abstracted $350 In stamps am
about $85 $ In cash. The fellows who did tb (
job were no novices , as they went at It Ir
a business-like way and made every mov <
count. They entered a basement window o
the Gazette office , -which Is In the rear o
the postofflce. As soon as the burglary be
came known In West Union the sheriff tele
phoned In every direction. About clgh
miles directly west of town Parrett over
hauled two men whom he thought were thi
ones he was searching for but they got awa ]
from him. It la thought that the thlevct
were heading for the Great Western rallwa :
north of Sumner. If they ever get Into the
Ulg Wapslo timber the chances for their
capture are very remote Indeed. The law
officers all over northeastern Iowa are thor
oughly aroused and for the next few days
every stranger met with will be compelled
to give a pretty clear account of himself.

CHARLES CITY. la. , Oct. 30. ( Special. )
A collection of ancient books which can
not bo dullcatcd elsewhere In America and
with difficulty even In Europe Is owned by
Henry Bucker of Charles City. These rare
works were gathered generations ago by his
distant ancestors In Switzerland , who arc
bibliomaniacs. An examination of this most
unique collection of ancient books strikes the
beholder with wonder. Wonder that such a
collection of treasures should have remained
eo long unknown to the general public and
even that such n collection existed In this
country. These works are printed In the
Latin , Greek , Hebrew and German
languages. Many arc very massive and bound
In heavy wood covers overlaid with rawhide.
Some arc bound In psrchmcnt and some also
have massive metal clasps and corner rests.
The paper on which these books ore printed
Is much thicker and coarser than that used
for this purpose today. What strikes one
with the greatest wonder and surprise Is the
almost Infinite amount of labor bestowed
upon tht hand printing and Illustration In
colors by the ancient monks In the prepara
tion of some of these curious works. The
date of printing the moat of these works
runs back several hundred years and what
makes them of far greater value Is that they
are , with the exception of the old bibles ,
all first editions. They treat on a variety of
HUbJects , as philosophy , natural history , re
llglon , mythology , writings of some of the
ancient and most famous men. as Cicero ,
Plato and others. To the scholar access tea
a library like this would prove a priceless
boon. Doubtless had the existence of these
rare old works been known to the general
rttbllc they would ere this have been repos
ing In some of the great libraries of the
country or In that of our great educational
Institutions to benefit the present and future
ages. Instead of laying In obscurity , as thty
do today , known to scarcely anyone.

PREPARING TO OCCUPY CUBA

fully of Situation.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 30. The president
Secretary Alger and Adjutant General Cor
bin had an extended conference today , th
principal topic under consideration being th
occupation of Cuba. There Is no disposition
to change the date , January 1 , fixed for th
assumption of control by the United States
The questions discussed today related malnl
to transportation , ships , equipment , land
Ings nnd camps. The reports of the Cuban
military commission and of the army board
to Investigate and locate camp sites wer
considered. General I.awton , who had bee
for Eome time past the military governo
of Santiago province , was present during
portion of the conference nnd gave the presl
dent some Information concerning condl
tlons in Cuba. The reports of the board t
select sites gave a list of articles whlc
would be immediately necessary and the de
partment has directed the issue of advertise
ments for them. Colonel Hecker and Colonel
Lee , quartermaster with the board , have
f bt-en ordered to Washington to report nioro
In detail , and to assist In the preparations
e ' for the debarkation of troops to Cuba.
rj During hte conversation with General
0 Law ton the president expressed his gratlfl-
1 1 cation at the victorious conclusion of the
'campaign ' In Santiago province and at the
manner in which the officers and men COD-
ducted themselves.
General Lawton declined to discuss the
recommendations which ho will make to
Secretary Alger respecting future operations
of the army and the government generally
Cuba. It has not been definitely deter
mined whether General Lawtou will return
{ to the command at Santiago , but the gen-
j erally exprcraed opinion Is that bo will not.
" Command of the Department of Santiago is
now under General Wood.
"It Is yet early , " eald GeneiyU Lawton ,
i In response to questions on the subject , "to
express an opinion as to the time It win bo
necessary for 'this ' government to maintain
military supervision of the Island of Cuba.
Thin will have to be determined entirely by
the couree of future events. The Cubans
are , gent-ratty speaking , " General Lawton
added , "a quiet , tractable people. " Ho did not
l think there would bo any trouble In man-
I aging them so far as this might be ueces-
eary , pending the formation of the Inilo-
' pendent government on the Island. So far
. as the cities are concerned. General Law-
1 ton did not believe there would bo any dif
ficulty In maintaining discipline and order ,
and in the country agricultural districts the
c ' formation of a constabulary composed of the
* natives would bring about the desired effect.

GOSSIP FROM THE GRIDIRON

Saturday's gridiron contests In the cast In
which the members of the upper ten ot
foot ball society the big quintet figured
, furnlshi'U gome llttlo line on the form of
' these foot ball aggregations and Incidentally
provided OHO or two bits of surprise. The
day's schedule , however , gave no means ot
comparison with the teams of last year.
Only one of the quintet , Yale , played an
eleven which it fought lost year. West
1'olnt last season held the Blue down to a
tie , the score being 6 to 6 ; this year the
Blue won by a score of 10 to 0.
Possibly the most Interesting of these
struggles between the warriors of the chalk
ribbons was the fight between Pennsylvania
and the Chicago university eleven. One of
the causes for this Interest resulted from the
fact that this contest for the second time
In the history of the game found an eastern
university team arrayed against a western
eleven. Such a game was played once be-
j fore , when Michigan visited the cast a
couple of years ago. To bo sure the Chicago
cage Athletic dub has crossed the Alle-
ghanles a couple of times , but this can
hardly bo called an representative western
eleven , as It has been made up In good part
of ex-eastern college 'players. '
The west has no reason to be ashamed of
the flght that was put up by the Chicago
lads , for thuy made a stubborn stand against
the Quakers and succeeded In scoring twice.
I The limelight character In their cast was
the great punter , Herschborger. Ho was re
sponsible for half the score , for he dropped
a field goal and his superb pedal work
really permitted the Wludy City representa
tives to do as well as they did. There seems
to be llttlo question that this kicker will
prove to be easily the flght of the fullbacks
of the year , whether of the east or of the
west.
I There Is still another reason for the In-
! tcrest that foot balllsts felt In the game.
j While the Quakers have run up a bigger
! number of points against their opponents
than any others of the big five , they have
tackled a rather Inferior quality of teams.
With the exception of Drown , they have not
had a hard aggregation lined up agalnsl
them. But Saturday's game demonstrated
that offensively and defensively they are up
to form. Their great weakness la their
fumbling , and this , which Coach Woodruff
has been trying to eradicate for some time ,
proved to bo as bad as ever. If It continues
It may prove fatal In the gamrs with Har
vard and Cornell. The scoring that Chicago
made on the Quakers now leaves Princeton
the only one of the big five that has not
been scored upon this season.
The Tigers may be judged to have shown
up hotter against the Brown team than
cither Pennsylvania or Yale. While the
Providence lads made practically as strong
a score against them as against the Quakers
or the Blue , yet In both the latter eames
they were on foreign ground , while they
played the Tigers at home. They scored on
Yale In a game which resulted In 22 to 6
and held Pennsy down to 18 to 0. While
Princeton succeeded In making It 23 to 0
one of the touchdowns was on a fumble am
therefore the three scores may be judged
about alike. The supporters ot the orange
and the black will be able to figure out nn >
superiority over the Quakers or Yale only
from the fact that the game occurred la
Providence.
Yale and Harvard both had hard games
and the question of which of the two Is su
perior , judging from the scoring , cannot be
answered from the results of the contests
For while Harvard defeated the Indians by
a smaller score than did Yale , on the other
hand Yale rolled up a smaller score agalns
West Point than did Harvard. Harvard bea
the Indians by a score of 11 to 6. Yale de
feated West Point by a score of 10 to 0 ; two
weeks ago Harvard beat the cadets by a
score of 28 to 0. Incidentally It may be
mentioned that the Indians have scored upon
all three of the big five against whom the
have played Harvard , Yale and Cornell.
They have still to meet Pennsylvania.
No comparison from scores can bo made
In Cornell's case , for none of the other four
have met Obcrlln and the Cornelllans did not
play this college last year. The low Bcor
docs not promise that the Cornelllans will
show up well against the Quakers , but poa-
slbly the fact a number of substitutes were
In may account for Cornell's poor showing.
The game between Nebraska and Grlnnelt
did not take place on Saturday. It Is
charged by the Lincoln boys that the lowans
were afraid to play. Grlnnell objected to
the officials proposed by Nebraska , claiming
that they were not Impartial. However , even
after Nebraska offered to play with Orln >
nell's officials the Hawkeyes refused to c.ome
and It IB hinted pretty strongly that Grlnnell
declined to play simply because It could
stick Its fingers down Its throat and touch
Its heart at the prospect of facing the Ante
lope state gridiron warriors.
On Saturday the Lincoln High school team
played all around the Tekainah High school
eleven , winning by a score of 42 to 0. This
was ono of the games for the Intcrscholafitlo
championship.
