Those who participated, however, succeeded in having a good time, although the coolness of the atmosphere when the sun went down compelled many to return home early. The program of eports, with the excep- tion of the swimming and rowing events, was carried out and created much amuse- ment. The ball game between Omaha and Council Blufts ended with a score of 9 to 8 in favor of the Omahans, although the Blufites claimed the game was not fin- ished, as they had one man still to bat. The races resulted as follows: One hundred-yard race for members: W. A, Ellis won, J." I. Abbott second. JEi and spoon race for women: Miss Cagady won, Mrs. Lundergren second Fat men's race: 8. L. Kelly won. Potato race for women: Miss Edith Judd won, Mrs. Judson second. Léan men's race: C. E. Spratiin won, R. B Lee Evans second. Back race: C. Robinson second PRISONERS UP FOR SENTENCE Willlam Thompson, E. Spratlin won, with a Five Year Term, is High Man in the Bunch. Of the five men sentenced yesterday morning by Judge Wheeler In the district court to the penitentiary at Fort Madison Willlam Mason, alias Willlam Thompson, recelved the longest term, getting five years. He had entered a plea of guilty to breaking into and robbing Thomas Ma- loney's cigar factory. Mason was one of the seven prisoners who escaped from the county jall, but was recaptured a few daya later in Harrison county. His accomplice in the burglary, E. G. Jones, who alao es- caped from the county fail, is still at large. Mason and Jones were caught with the plunder in their possession. John Plumb, one of the three men indlcted for robbing Fred Goth in the Milwaukes yards and who had entered & plea of gullty was sentenced to three years. Plumb's two partners were among the prisoners who es- caped from the county fail and are still at large. Plumb did not take advantage of the opportunity to escape with his part- ners. Harry Caley, the young man who pleaded gullty to entering Captaln Webb's optical store on West Broadway and stealing a number of valuable eyeglasses, was given two years. H. 8. Fishburn, who stole & bicycle and admitted his guilt, got off with a twenty- two months' sentence. Fishburn was one of the seven to get away from the county jafl, but was recaptured early the next morning while waiting to jump a freight at the Rock Island yards. Within half an hour after the men had received their sentences they were on their way to the penitentiary, in charge of Sherift Cousins and Deputy Canning. The King Button.

FARMER SHOT WHILE IN BED Tenant on One of His Farms Charged with the Crime and Lynch- ing Narrowly Averted, I0WA: CITY, Ia., June 21.—(Speclal)— Revenge or robbery was the motive of one of the foulest murders in the history of Johnson county, which occurred at River Junction shortly past midnight. James Gallagher, a prominent farmer, a8 as- sassinated while sleeping by the side of his wife and two children. The murderer reached over the bodies of the children, placed the revolver to Gallagher's ear and fired, blowing out his victim's bralos. Mrs. Gallagher was awakened, but could see no one. Revenge Is believed to have consti- tuted the motive. Later Charles Holliday, a tenant on Gallagher's farm, was ar- rested, charged with the crime, and it was with dificulty the officers prevented the crowd from lynching him. It is alleged that Holllday and Mrs. Gallagher desired to get Gallagher out of the way.

The congressional direc- tory calls attention to the fact that he was educated in the schools of Towa territory and in a printing office, and it {s probable that he recelved the most, and certainly the best, part of his early education in & printing ' office. He was admitted to the Par in 1834, nearly a half-century ago, and he made & splendid record as a captain, major and lieutenant colonel of the Se: ond lowa cavalry during the civil war. Since the war hé has been prominent in the public affairs of lowa and the nation and fs undoubtedly the ablest debater in the present congress. His magnificent con- test and victory for the Nicaragua canal has given him a world-wide reputation. The late Judge N. M. Hubbard left an estate valued at about $150,000. His will, which he wrote himself, 1s dated September 10, 1%1. To his wife 'he bequeathed the homestead in Cedar Rapids, which on her death goes to N. M. Hubbard, ir., their only son. The homestead is valued at $50,- 000. As an evidence of what a good wife can do for a man in alding and advising him, Judge Hubbard said in his will: *To the rare good sense, advice and affection of my beloved wife, 1 owe everything.” Judge Hubbard was a man of the world, an able lawyer and bright politiclan, but in his will he acknowledges to the world that back of all was the good sense and advice of his beloved wife, to whom he owed everything. He made life a grand success in many ways, but he gives his wife the credit. Thousands of other men have done the same thing. A young woman can fill no nobler mission in life than to marry a manly young man and aid him to prosperity and fame. The kindly advice of a good wife s ‘more valuable than the flattery of friends. It comes from the heart. There are thou- sands of men who could have made their llves successes had tney possessed the right kind of wives. A bad wife is a curse to any man, and a good wife Is the greatest blessing that can come to him on this earth. Washington Letter to the New York Herald: If Secretary Shaw had not de- veloped such a marked abllity for the handling of financial affairs he ‘would un- doubtedly have made a success as a bot- anist or forestry expert. He loves trees and shrubs and knows almost as much about them as does Secretary Wilson. The keeper of the keys of Uncle Sam's strong box has an eye for the beautiful in na- ture. When he walks along the street he is generally skimming an éye over the handsome trees which line many of the capital's thoroughfares and noting the points of the shrubs with which the green floors of the park are decorated. The gardeners who keep these reservations in order have had excellent oppportunity to experiment with numerous varleties of shrubs, and frequently Secretary Shaw comes across a species which he has never seen before. It is no strange thing for him to stop and cfosely examine the leaves or bark of the bush in an effort to deter- mine its kind. When he walks to cabinet meetings Mr. Shaw has only to ecross Executlve avenue and he is within the White House grounds. The path of the pillar flanked porte-cochere is lined with eautiful shrubbery, the growth of which is at least twice a week carefully noted by the tecretary. He appears to totally forget affairs of state when he plucks at the leaves or smells the sweet odored blos- soms. New York Herald: The day's work done, Secretary Shaw and Postmaster General Payne wandered lelsurely and Ilistlessly back to the Arlington recently, much a-foot. No officlal carrlage and pair for them—no footman fripperies that smack of rovalty. They sauntered slowly by the White House, Mr. Payne with a big bundla under his arm—he had ' stopped" at the store on the way—and Mr. Shaw_twirlin a Jacknite between his fingers Now and then they would stop and dig into the bark of a tree, as they discussed the vari- ous phases of the toplc of the moment, and then straggle on toward the hotel. 1t was all simple and delightfully provincial They might have been Lwo country mer- chants in Crescent, Vt. going home to supper and talking about the good and bad qualities of the new minister.

Just then Senator H. Platt came up. ““H—Il.

TELEPHONE GIRLS STRIKE Demand More Pay and a Recognition of Their Newly-Formed Uni COMPANIES ARE AFTER NEW OPERATORS Game Warden Has an Exciting Time Trying to Destroy Some Fish Nets in the Vicinity of Bonaparte, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 21.—(Special.)—The telephone girls operating the two com- panies in Des Moines went on strike this morning at 9 o'clock. There are about sixty of the girls. Some days ago they organized a union and affillated with the Trades and Labor aseembly and made a demand upon the managers of the telephone companies that their pay be raised so as to make them $1 a day and also that the union be given recognition, and that none but union tele- phone operators would be employed. The companies offered to make the ralse in wages, but refused to recognize the unfon. At 9 o'clock this morning, by pre- concerted agreement, the girls then at work all quit. There are two companles—the lowa and the Mutual. Managers of both companies had knowledge that the strike was coming and had done what they eould to prepare for it by securing operators not in the union. Several operators who for- merly worked for the companies were 1n- duced to come back and work temporarily and a number of others were taken fn. The managers Immediately sent to other parts of the etate to have operators sent here for work and a number were secured in this manner, but during the entire day the service was so crippled as to be al- most uselest. The manager of the Mutual company resisted the proposed increase in wages and declared it would mean a cost of $4,000 to the company annually. The chairman of a committee of the operators made this statement to the public: We sent the schedule or scale of wages to both managements two weeks ago. It calls for slight Increase In wages, but not for shorter hours. We work nine hours per day. Sunday the Towa telephone operators work eleven hours for 75 cents, which is & cents under the week day's pay. They also work steady. having no time off for din- ner. The Mutual operators are treated better on Sunday, putting in eleven hours, but they get time and a half, and fifteen minutes for dinner. We want the people to understand that regular operators get from $18 to $23 per month. Heginners get §12 per month. We think these wages are too small for such nerve-killing, continuous work. We want the night _board operators advanced from $2350 to $30 per month. There are other {tems which do not concern the public, but would be good for us and not injuré the company. We hated to go out, as we feel the patrons will suffer by it, but if the management of these two companies had done the square thing there would have been no strike. They don't need to tell us that they can't’ afford to grant us the ralse, e, for instance, the tolls, which run from $1,000 to $1,500 a month. We don't expect to dictate terms. We told them what we needed to live respectably, and they practically ignored us, especiaily the Towa. We made no demand; it was a re- quest. The Trades and Labor assembly will be asked to take action tomorrow to support the strike and the union of electrical workers have signified their intention to help if it I8 necessary. It is belleved that eventually the girls will win. The Last of Inspections. Adjutant General Byers announces that the Algona company in the national guard will be inspected next Monday and this will complete the company inspections. The band will also be inspected at that time. An effort is being made to organize a blg drum corps to go to Washington with the Iowa delegation to the national en- campment in the fall and to lead the lowa contingent with fife and drum. It is also contemplated that a band will be employed to accompany the lowa crowd. Cut Up Fish Nets.
