Ticket Agent of tlie Itoek Island Full
Amoitir Tlili-ves.
Ben F. Grlflln, ticket agent nt tho Hock
Island railway depot, was hold up and
robbed by two footpads ot a conslderablo
sum ot money and a gold watch at the cor
ner of Eighth street nnd Avcnuo B. Ho was
on his way to his homo tit 812 Avenuo C
when tho robbery occurred. On reaching
Avenuo B two men who were standing nt
tho corner suddenly stepped In front of
him and ordered him to hold up his hands,
one of tho fellows backing up tho domnnd
by thrusting a big revolver In his face.
Griffin at once oboyod and as ho rnlsed his
hands aloft a parcel of meat which ho had
under his arm fell to tho ground. Not think
ing for tho moment ho stooped to pick up
tho packago when tho follow with tho gun
exclaimed: "Never mind that, Just keep
your hands up over your head until wo toll
you to lower them." Not having any dcslro
to nrguo tho matter with an ugly looking
revolver pro3se;d against his left car, Grlflln
lost no time In getting his hnnds pointed
upward again. Then the second footpad went
through his pockcs, securing two pocket
books, his gold hunting caBO watch and
chain and a $10 gold pleco which ho wore
as .a watch charm.
Having secured everything of value from
his pockets tho thugs then ordered Grlflln
to hasten on his way und not to turn around
If ho did not wish a bullet In his hack.
Grlflln did nB he was told until ho reached
Avenuo O when ho mado a detour and
hastened to report tho robbery at tho police
station. Grlllln was unablo to stato tho
exact amount of cash that was taken from
Mm. In ono pockctbook he carried tho nft
crnoon's receipts from ticket sales, which
ho thought amounted to about $100, but
could not utato definitely until bo had
checked up his accounts. The other pocket
book contained eomo small change and valu
ablo private papers.
Grlllln described his ahsallants as being
ono tall and ono short. Tho tall man ap
peared to bo ovor six feet and woro a slouch
hat, while tho shorter or tho two was about
llvo feet six Inchta high nnd woro dark
clothes and a stilt derby hat. Neither of
thu men was masked iind tho whole trans
action. Mr. Grlffln said, did not occupy moro
than a minute, although it seemed to him
llko an hour that tho gnu was. pressing
agulnat his loft car.
Tho pollco, who believe thct tho men
woro awaro that Grlflln carried homo as
a rulo conslderablo money on his person and
lay In wnlt to rob him, failed to aecuro any
trace of them. It Is supiioscd the footpads
at once took a car to Omaha,
Jeffries Clilldrt'ii Cured for.
After listening to a mass ot more or less
nauseating testimony, Judgo Thoruell of tho
district court ordered that tho four chil
dren of Mrs, Minnie Jeffries be turned over
to tho earn of the Iowa Children's Home
society. The caie attracted considerable In
terest, especially among tho neighbors of
tho family, nnd tho court room was crowded.
Mrs. Jeffries tisked tho court to turn the
children over ,10 Manager Lcmcn of the
Christian Homo of this city, so that she
could see them onco In a. while. This the
court rcfuwd to do nnd Mrs. Jeffries made
qulto n scene, declaring that her children
should not be taken from her. Tho testi
mony of ono of the witnesses was to tho
effect that a stepson of Mrs. Jeffries had
deliberately burned with a hot Iron one of
tho boys and not satisfied with thin cruelty
had poured turpcntlno on tho wound.

City Attorney Wadsworth, to whom tho
matter had been referred, reported tbnt tho
city had the legal right to pass an ordinance
prohibiting Sunday shaving and ho was In
structed to draft an ordinanco nnd submit

City Attorney WntUworth reported that
M. F. Hohrer hnd offered to compromise tho

that unless tho city paid tho amount, $1,900,
as fixed by tho appraisers, within ton days,
tho city would havo to pay tho attorney fce3
on the other side, amounting to $375. Tho
ten days had elapsed nnd Hohrer offered to
accept a Judgment ngalnst tho city providing
It carried interest nt C per cent from tho
date of tho award by tho appraisers. The
Interest up to dato would amount to about
$200 and tho council was not willing to
agreo to this, so It was finally decided to lot
tho matter lay over for tho now council to
wrestlo with.
Tho city attorney also reported that the
Hock Island railroad had paid tho costs In
tho litigation arising over tho opening of
Seventh street and ho handed in a check for
tbo amount, which was ordered turned Into

MINERS DEMAND A RAISE
All Proponltlonn Ottered hy Operator
Are 1'lutly Itcfuncil liy
Employe.
DES MOINES, March 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho coal miners In slnto convention
this morning flatly refused to consider tho
proposition of tho operators for a 5 per cent
rabVo on tho 6crcon basis und a 3 per cent
ralso on tho mlno run. Tho miners claim
that, tho restrictions placed on tho existing
conditions counterbalance tho proposed ralco
of r per cent nnd 3 per cent, so much bo that
It Is not a ralso at all.
Tho miners aro firm In their demands for
tho raise in their wages In proportion to
those granted by competitive states and now
scorn determined to light to tho bitter end.
This morning after tho scalo committees
hnd adjourned, disagreed and reported to
their respectlvo organizations, tho coal mlp
ers went Into session again and discussed
tho situation for two hours, during which
time tho proposed' ralso was discussed en
tirely upon a screen basis. Fifteen cents
was to all appearances the slogan, which
means 20 per cent Increase on tho 189!) scalo
of 75 cents tho yoar round. Tho 224 per
cent has been demanded right aloug, nnd
though tho difference of 2i por cent Is ap
parent tho ralso tho miners demand will
equal that on somo scales paid In various
districts.
Tho employes claim a wago In proportion
to tho prices paid to tho men in competitive
states, not alone 'because of themselves in
dividually, but for the benefit of miners In
other etatcs, who, If the Iowa men worked
for less than thoy, tho minors claim, would
be oventunlly shut out of work becauso of
the advantage tho Iowa operators would
havo in tho market.
Jnmcs Powell, a coal miner, aged 21, cm
ployed In a mlno six miles southeast of this
city, was killed 'by a fall of slate. He was
at work with his brother and was Just get
ting ready for tamping, preparatory to firing,

That sounds llko a conundrum, but as tho
answer Is to bo given by tho combined
women's societies of Plymouth church It Is
safer to kucm that It Is a problem In so
clology. Tho question belongs, Indeed, to
comparative sociology, for tho answer varies
widely in different times nnd places, ob
serves tho sednto Brooklyn Eagle. In Tur
key, no doubt, the girl of 17 begins to feci
conscious of tho contumely which, In tinpro
greselvo countries, waits upon tho woman
who Is unablo to "catch" a husband. In
Germany and continental Europo the oblo.
quy Is postponed to a later ago, but It has
not been abolished. In ono of Hose Terry
Cooko's early New England stories an en
ergetic woman married and supported a
shiftless ne-er-do-well, becauso sho under
stood perfectly "That It was moro honorable
to bo nnybody's wlfo than nobody's." Tho
notion that a woman may prefer not to
marry, unless sho can get Just the particular
man she wants, Is oxtrcmcly modem and
nlmost distinctively American, although wo
get a flavor of It In tho recent London novols.
That Idea carried Into prnctlco Is respon
sible for tho bachelor girls, who havo had
such a hard tlmo making landlords nnd land
ladies understand tho blameless naturo of
their solitariness. Thev have, for thn innst

ln a recent Eagle, who signed her lcttor
"Nearly an Old Maid," wero among tho

I young woman had so far departed from
custom ns to enclose her ace with hor nd-

able light upon tho femlnlno point of view
as to Just when an old maid arrives and
when she Is merely "nearly." It Is far
i 1oo delicate a matter for right-angled and
blundering masculine Judgment,

tho old maid for a good while, tho ago limit

that was when tho only gainful occupations
open to slnglo women wero school teaching
nnd "going out tailoring." Now that they
wrlto novels, paint pictures, run llbrarlco
and hospltalB and got elected to boards of
education tho, limit has doubtless been
raised. nut, whllo tho status of single
women was thUB definitely fixed there was
a kindly softening of this term which tho
womon of Plymouth havo defiantly flaunted
