road men living In th vicinity who wanted
to secure some groceries befor going to
work, unlocked ths door and admitted
them. ,
A the light at that early hour was In
sufficient, Peterson carried a lantern, and
aa he placed thla on the counter after un-'
locking th door and turned around to ee
what the men wanted, he found himself
facing a big revolver in th hands of ths
taller of th two mon. Then cam th de
mand for Peterson to "dig up that llttl
sack of money." Peterson started to mak
his escape by the back door, bat was Inter
cepted by the smaller of th two thugs.
who by thla time had also drawn a revol
ver. The taller of the two men then seised
Peterson while hla companion went through
hla pocketa, securing th sack containing
S59.Z5 from his hip pocket. Soma loos li
ver, whloh was in Peterson's pocket, was
overlooked by th fellow searching him.
With a warning to Peterson not to fol
low them, th highwaymen, neither of
whom was masked, backed out of th front
door. Not heeding the warning, Peterson
followed them to Sixteenth avenue, where
they turned west In th direction 'of th
Pock Island depot, and where Peterson be
lieve they boarded a street car for Omaha.'
When Peterson reached th depot he failed
to see th two men and noticed a car
going north on Main street.

DES MOINES, Dec. a (Special.) John
P. Whit and all th officers of th Iowa
Miners union resigned today at th dele
gate oonventlon of the Miners union of this
stats. This afternoon the convention spent
the entire afternoon ' deciding whether or
not to admit newspaper reporter to th
meeting and later to a discussion of
whether or not to accept th resignations
of th officers.
Th officer resigned because many of
the local union refused to stand by th
agreement of th etate officers that th
men accept half cash and half clearing
house certificate for their wage during
th financial flurry. Following this refusal
President Wlilt called th convention and
today all th officer Undered their resigna
tions. Th convention will cost the miner'
union a total of something Ilk 210,000 and
the on question to be decided ta whether
or not th officers shall be vindicated on
their agreement with th operators to ao
cept part clearing house certificates.
It wa thought today by many of th
leading mlnera that the resignations would
not be accepted and that the officers
would be vindicated. Their resignations
were demanded by eom of th unions of
the southern part of th state. It I claimed
that the bulk of the miners hav stood by
th agreement of th officers.
President Whit In tendering his resig
nation stated that th action of th offlcera
was taken In order to help both the miner
and th operator through a peoullar
financial situation. President Whits Is th
only candldat for th position of vlcs
presldent of the United Mine Workers of
America. Th balloting In the local unions
Is now going on and betng th only candl
dat he will be elected, thus necessitating
his resignation as president of th Iowa
union later.

tional board, haa been In Colorado. Today
he appeared befor th convention to re
port. Hla head waa bandaged and he ex
plained that three time he wa set upon
by thugs, whom he claimed war hired

And so an ever-lasting friend for Calumet was made. r
This truthful little incident simply proves that the housewife is oftimes prejudiced against '
all baking powders, except the one she has been using for years. She imagines that no 1
other kind can possibly be as good. This is a mistaken impression. A trial of Calumet
will prove that it is purer, more reliable; it has greater leaven- " ; ,
ing power than any other baking powder made.
And it is moderate in price.

Mayor Hoctor stated yesterday that h
thought he would vto th Q street via
duct ordinance unless tha street railway
company could bs Induced to agr with
the Cnton Paclflo and th Union Stock
Tarda company on th viaduct proposition.
He said such an event was quit probable
at preaent. He gave tt a hi belief that
th afreet car company should bear ut
least one-third of th expense of tha
viaduct, sine it waa th company nior
than any other- whloh wor th viaduct
out The mayor wa not positive that
the street car company could b compelled
to pay toll or to assist In th construc
tion. More than any other thing, he said,
he wished to avoid any litigation on the
subject. It appeared from several of tho
provision of ths present ordinance that
long cases In court would follow. There
for he waa determined to veto this meas
ure. The possibility of giving to th peo
ple on tha west side of ths city a good,
aubstantlal viaduct within a ahort titu
would afford great pleasure to the admin
istration. . "Every possible effort," said
th mayor, "will b made in thla direc
tion." A hitch haa arisen in the furnltur con
tract. Warranta have been ordered to
tha amount of 13,100, in round numbau,
with a prospeot of more to follow. ' Th
mayor has ordered the last warrant held
back for the present. It Is said that lh
total of the warranta exceeds th contract
price. The contract haa disappeared and
has not been placed on Ale. The city
clerk aald that his last knowledge of It
waa when It was In th hand of 3- F.
UcReynolds. At that time the contract
had not been signed by the mayor. . Blace
