Case of Mistaken Identity.
Charles Fore t tier, employed at the Union
Pact 11 o freight office, had an exciting experi
ence with two of the plain clothes officers
of the police force late Wednesday night.
The officers mistook him for a burglar,
while, on the other hand, Forstner waa un
der the impression that the officers were
hold-up artists.
Shortly before midnight a prominent clti
sen of the Fourth ward telephoned to the
police station that a suspicious character
waa hanging around the neighborhood. De
tective Callaghan and Night Sergeant Whit
taker were detailed to corral the supposed
crook.
Forstner, who .had 1 been visiting down
town, was on his way home with little
dog of which he had been made a present
under his arm, when he waa spied by the
wo sleuths. They at once made up their
minds he was the crook they were after and
proceeded to corral him.. Reaching the 1111
neis Central freight depot on First avenue
Forstner stopped for a minute and the offi
cers, drawing their guns, began to close In
upon htm. They took oposlte sides of ths
street. Forstner happened to turn around
and la the darkness noticed two men with
revolvers in their hands bearing down on
fclm. Ha at once Jumped to the conclusion
that he was about to be held up and started
to run. The officers called on him to halt,
fca in the excitement of the moment forgot
( announce that they were officers of ths
law. The sight of the revolvers gave wings
to Foratner's feet and he sprinted down ths
avenue faster than he ever ran before.
Sergeant Whlttaker ' commenced to shoot
(This only made Forstner run the faster and
drop the pup. he waa carrying. Detective
I Callaghan, who In his early days waa a well
known sprinter, kept on after tha fleeing
man and soon overtook him, only to And
.that he was a cltliea well known to him.

PASSWORD NECESSARY TO GET THROUGH
Company Bays It is Necessary to Pro
tect Property and Workmen and
Strikers Bar It Is to Keep
Hen from Leaving-.
The Union Paclfto has several armed
guards patrolling Its shops and yards at tha
transfer depot day and night and it Is now
impossible for a stranger to approach within
600 yards of the shops without being chal
lenged. A password has been established
and unless this can be given the armed
guards refuse to allow hs person to pass.
While at the transfer depot it is asserted
that these armed guards are being main
tained to protect the men who bare taken
the places of ths striking employes and to
prevent ths strikers from doing any dam
age to the cars and engines In the yards. It
is claimed by the strikers that the guards
have been placed there for the express pur
pose of preventing them approaching the
men working to induce them to leave their
work. The strikers further claim that the
guards are not needed, as there is no In
tention to attempt to harm any of the prop
erty of the railroad company. Yesterday
the pickets of the strikers claimed that
several of the guards had quit their jobs
when they learned for 'what purpose they
had been engaged.

COAL DEALERSARE WORRIED
Not Certain Abont Their Supply of
Anthracite for Next
. Winter.
The retail coal dealers of Council fluffs
are on the anxious seat, fearing that they
will be unable, owing to the strike among
the miners In the anthracite coal districts.
to secure a sufficient supply of this kind of
fuel here this tall. At present the supply
Of hard coal in Council Bluffs doea not ex
ceed 150 tons and that Is what was left
over from last winter. To discuss waya and
mesne to secure an ample supply the local
retail dealers met Wednesday night at the
office of the Carbon Coal company. This
was said to be the only matter discussed at
the meeting and that tha price to be
charged thla winter did not enter Into the
deliberations at all. No definite action waa
taken beyond deciding to maks a united
effort to secure a full share of anthracite
for thla city.
In talking about the meeting yestsrday a
member of one of the local coal firms said:
"Tho present : outlook for securing a suffi
cient supply of hard coal for Council fluffs
thla fall ia most dubious and It is' very
likely that if the strike Is prolonged much
longer Council Bluffs, aa well aa other
cities In the west, will experience a verita
ble bard coal famine this year. No, matter
what happens, the price it bound to go up
and hard coal will be considerable of a
luxury. it obtainable at all. With the con
ditions existing at present I do not see how
hard coal will be sold this winter for less
than 110 a ton, and It would not surprise
me a bit to see it go much, higher. The
prospect all around Is not Inviting."

Varahalltown Tlmea-Renubllc: A little
book of an early territorial governor of
Mississippi, William C. U. Claiborne, has
been discovered among the archives of the
state. It contains letters written by Gov
ernor Claiborne in his own handwriting to
President Jefferson. Mr. Madison, Secre
taryof War Dearborn and other officials
at Washington in regard to tha Louisiana
purchase. Governor Claiborne was detailed
by President Jefferson to go to New Or
leans and receive from the French the ter
ritory of the Louisiana, which Is now
known as the Louisiana purcnase. Tne nrst
of these letters is dated at New Orleans
yeara They contain the views of Governor
Claiborne on the questions of government
of the new territory. They detail at length
tne way tnat tne jrrencn and apaman in
New Orleans liked the transfer from the
French to the Americana. He recites in
some of his letters the difficulties ahead of

that this book will be given a place in the

Keokuk Gate City: One of the interest
ing topics considered at the recent meeting
of the flute Bar association In Dubuque
was that of legal restraint of marriage to
prevent the reproduction of the defective
classes. The matter has already been dis
cussed at some length in these.'columns,
but tha last word concerning It has not
been said. The views of Judge Klnne pt
the Btate Board of Control are well known.
At the bar meeting at Dubuque they were
endorsed by Judge Remley . of Iowa City,
who gave a striking illustration of the need
of legislation on tne subject. He referred
to a case which came under his observa
tion la a county of his Judicial dlstrlot
where a well to do farmer had a son who
was not bright, but made a full hand on
the farm. 11 married a woman three
year his Junior, and even after his mar
riage,' when he was X years old, the father
Continued to treat him aa a minor and to
manage his business. A few years ago
the father died and it became necessary to
appoint an administrator to manage the
affairs of the younger man. But in the
meantime there were eight children in the
family, all idiotic. Three have since died
of neglect, three are at Olenwood and two
are at home. Judge Remley insisted there
should be aome law to prevent Just such
occurrences In Iowa. He contended that
while the right to marry and have children
Is Inalienable and sabred, the state does
take away that right as It does the right
of life, and there are now In state institu
tions more than 6,000 cltliens to whom is
denied the light of marriage. An extension
of that principle, he maintained, is needed.
Chicago Record-Herald: As a recent
train of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
line halted a few miles east of the Mis
sissippi river, a atretcher bearing a limp,
carefully wrapped figure was gently de
posited in a baggage car. A tearful look
ing woman waa in attendance, the trainmen
were all service and solemnity and the
paasengers In the adjoining coaches were
stirred with emotions of helplees sympathy.
The bell rang, the engine caught its breath
and the train ewept on its westward way.
Passengers returned, for tne most part, to
newspapers and novels, but a few of the
more thoughtful ones continued to muse
ever the sad fate of the proatrate traveler
In the battvage car and to have the dis
turbed feelings of following hard upon a
hearae. An hour later, the Mississippi hav
ing been oroased in the meantime, the oc
cupants of the smoking car among whom
was the Chlcagoan who vouches for this
story were treated to a latter-day mir
acle. Suddenly, aome funeral wrapping
still clinging to him, the man lately seen
upon the atretcher entered the car, dropped
Into a seat, and lighting a cigar, ejacu
lated in a voice ef deep content and con
alderable vigor: "Well, now, I declare ef
I don't feel first rate. I Jes' aald all 'long
I'd git well aa soon as ever I got Into
