tion lasting an hour and a naif, and James
C. Clark, the laborer who actually did the
digging, was the first witness. He said he
had been directed to dig a grave at a desig
nated looatTon. After he had dug u few
feet he came to a coffin, which crumbled
under his touch. Inside were the bones,
evidently ot a woman who waa burled In
a silk dress. Ho removed the contents of
the coffin, under direction of Callahan,
and continued to dig. He then burled the
bones and dress and all that could be saved
of the coffin In the bottom of the grave.

stories printed in' a local paper. He de
clared no law had been violated and 're

Former Governor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 20 -(Sreclal.)-Crnl
mlr.e troubles are ssld to be Imminent In
Iowa. The two-year contract and agree
ment between the miners and the opera
tor of district No. IS. which is Iowa, with
a few mines In northern Missouri, expires
April U next. It kilt then be In order t
hold a convention to fix a new scale by
agreement. It has leaked out that It Is
the Intention of at least a Inrfre number
of the operators to Insist upon a reduction
In t.e scale of wages for the miners, un
der the claim that there has been a gen
eral decline In values which makes this
necessary. Conferences have been held
among the operators with a view to con
certed action looking to a reduction, and
tho operators, through their strong or
ganization. Wre preparing for a sharp con
test. On the other hand, the miners of
the district have In their defense fund a
sum. said to bo about tsixt.ono, with which
to make the fight. Tho operators take
Iho view that If the miners strike they
can secure a Judgment astHlnpt them and
levy on the big defense fund. The miners
have shown no Indication of willingness
to work for less pay, ond It Is regarded
as entirely probable that there, will be a
serious break between Ihcm and their em
ployers. Under the agreement which hns
long existed the miners will continue to
work pending an adjustment.
Two Conrmtloas Held.
The annual convention of the Iowa Ce
ment association Is being held here, with
a large attendance. The association Is a
new one and the cement industry is Just
being developed In the slate. A fine ex
hibit of materials was made and promi
nent people from the state were present.
A convention ot the Iowa Association ot
Clothiers waa held here today, also, with
a goody attendance. A banquet was given
this evening.
Shaw Looking- to lovra.
It has fccn made known that despite an
nouncements to the contrary there may yet
be an effort made to secure tho Iowa dele
gation to the Chicago convention for Leslie
M. Shaw. At tho conference of political
leaders here lost week the work of organ
izing was placed In the hands ot A. 17.
Quint of this city, for the central part ot
the state, and he has been actively at work
some time. Now it Is disclosed that he has

friends out In the state for the purpose of
lining up the state for a Shaw delegation.
At the same time It Is disclosed that the
ex-secretary Is in Chicago actively at work
to organise the large commercial Interests
to control tho convention.
School Election-Is an Election.
The supreme court ot Iowa decided that
when the volets get together to select
school officers It Is an election though'
tho law- does not refer to It as an elec
tion. The case came up fn connection with
the violation ot the prohibitory liquor law
by a saloon In Des MoTnes. The saloon
waa kept open on tho day ot a school elec
tion and suit waa brought. Defense was
made on the theory that this was not such
an election as contemplated In the law and
that It waa no violation of the law to keep
open on school election days. The supreme
court saya this Is not true, but that sohool
officers aj-e selected at true elections, hence
In the future Iowa saloons will have to re
main closed on such days.
Fear the Breakup of Ice.
Because of the storm and the Increase
ot danger at the big ice gorge In the Coon
river within the city limits of Des Moines
there Is great fear that there will be loss
of life If there is a sudden breaking up.
The Ice Is piled up high for more than a
mile and when the snowstorm covered the
gorge completely and this was frosen Into
the pack the danger was greatly Increased.
A change In 'he weather would have a
serious effect.
