SOME ANNOUNCE THAT THEY WILL DO SO Announee that Increase in Week Res s« Do Not Compensate for the Profits of Sunday Shaves, Trouble between the bosses and the ! Journeymen Barbers' union Is imminent. The bosses are planning to reopen on Sun- days and this move will be strenuously opposed by the journeymen barbers, who insist that the agreement re. ed two weeks ago between the unifon and the bosses be adhered to, At & meeting of the Boss Barbers' assocla- tion last night the question of reopening the shops on Sunday mornings and closing at 10 o'clock Baturday nights was brought up and discussed, but no definite action taken. A number of the bosses expressed the desire to open their shops Sunday mornings, and it is understood that several intend to to- | morrow, despite the threat of the Journe; men Barbers' unfon that i they do thelr shops will be placed on the “unfair’ list. The bosses claim that the closing of their shops on Sundays I8 hurting their business and has resulted in a material decrease in the earnings. The proprietors of shops located in the hotels claim that the closing | on Sundays affects them more than the others, as @ large portion of thelr trade is transient. One of the members of the bosses' assocl- atlon, in discussing the question last night, sald: “Two weeks of closing our shops on | Sunday morning has demonstrated to us that it Is a 10sing proposition financlally. The Sunday morning business Is always big and the fact that we close Bundays has not seemingly increased the Saturday night receipts sufficlently to make up the loss by closing Sundays. I suppose the union will | make a fight if we decide to open again on | Bundays, but we may as well have the | fight now as later on. I for one !ntend to open my shop, and if the union men refuse to work for me I suppose I can get others who will.” " N. Y, Plumbing Co. Te) 20. Night, Foe7. Crop of Damage Suits, According to the petitions In two suits brought in the district court by John L. Price against James Coyle, the plaintift has a number of grievances against the de- fendant and alleged reasons why he should recover substantial damages. The plain- tiff and defendant are both residents of this elty. In one sult Price seeks to recover $,i00, this amount representing four distinct claims. One claim amounting to $12.60 is for work performed by the plaintiff for defendant in painting a house. The second is for $166.75, which Price alleges Coyle owes him for going to Nebraska last Janu- ary and selecting for Coyle and his two sons government lands subject to homo- lto w INTEREST FROM aboard the train yesterday.

GOVERNOR REFUSES TO ACT Disregards Recommendation of Par- don Board and Man is Hanged. was hanged today at Lake Charles, La., for the murder of six of the Earl family in February, 1902, near Welsh. The crime was not discovered for several days after it was committed, when Batson, a fleld hand of the Earls, appeared in Lake Charles with stock for sale, representlog himselt as Ward Earl. Relatives found the bodles of Mrs. arl and four children shot and their throats cut. Batson has always denled the crime The board of pardons recommended com mutation of his sentence, but Governor Heard disregarded the recommendation, CROPS TOTALLY DESTROYED stead entry. The third claim is for $ which Price alleges one Ed Barrett had belonging to him and which Barrett turned over to Coyle, who converted it to his own use, The balance of the $5,400 which Price wants from Coyle represents the damages which Price sustained by being placed in prison in Central City, Neb., last- March on ‘a charge of e¢mbeszlement preferred against him by Coyle. Price recites the fact that he was bound over to the dls. trict court and remained in prison forty- six days awaiting a trial which resulted in his acquittal. Price alleges that the charge made against him by Coyle was maliclous, false and intended to Injure his good name, fame and credit and to bring him into pub- le scandal. In the second suit Price asks that the court order an accounting of the copartner- ship which he alleges existed between him and Coyle. Price alleges that in December last he and Coyle entered into a copartner- #hip to engage in the business of renting hay lands and selling hay. In January last Price states he went to Merrick county, Nebraska, and there purchased in Coyle's name 600 tons of hay which he shipped to Councfl Blufts and where it was sold. He also made many other purchases of & similar nature, but Coyle, according to Price's allegations, kept all the money re- celyed from these transactions and refused to ‘give him his share of the profits.

Jewell, American consul | Port Antonio greatly damaged by hurrl- | showers in | itation | IOWA., FINDS THE WATER IMPURE Toe BnpplyA at Valley Junoiion is Also Pronounced Unhealthy. NOT SATISFIED WITH COURT DECISION | Democrats Bulld Great Hopes in Com- ing Campaign on the Work of Literary Bureau at State Capital. (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, Aug. 14.—(Speclal)—A short time ago the people of Valley Junc- tion became greatly alarmed over a num- ber of cases of typhold fever and the | pastor of the Congregational church was | the first and most consplcuous victim. | There were Indications that.the water sup- ply was bad and an investigation was ordered. The city council employed Dr. C. H. Hoffman as an expert and he today made his report to the council. He made a thorough investigation of the water sup- ply and of the ice, His report indicates that there is a large amount of Impurity in the water, though no germé of typhold were found. The ice was found to be very bad, @s it had been taken from a place that fs the drainage of a swamp and con- tains nitrates and phosphates in large pro- portion. He recommends that the people be | forbidden to use the fce ‘and that all water be boiled. It fs the intention of the councll to order the discontinuance of ice | cutting at the present place, though the present supply will probably be used. The moet stringent regulations were enforced at once on the outbreak of the fever and an epldemic prevented in that way. Legislation on Vaccination. Dr. A. L. Thomas of Red Oak, president | of the lowa Health association, is miking !en effort to have appealed to the state su- | preme court the vaccination case from | Lucas county which compelled the State | Board of Health to modity its rules. It is | desired that the case shall be appealed at once 8o that It can be disposed of at the | October term of court and a declsion reached before the leg'slature clotes next winter. In case the supreme court upholds the declsfon of Judge Vermiilion, it is pro- posed that the legislature shall be asked to amend the law and either provide directly | for compulsory vaccination or authorize | the State Board of Health to make a regu- | lation of that kind. Judge Vermillion de- cided that the legislature has tull authority to make such a law or to delegate the power to the state board, but has done neither, hence that the regulation as pro- mulgated was illegal so far as it related to compelling vaccination at all gimes. The regulation would still hold in case of an epidemic. But the officers of the Public Health association desire that the:rule be established fully and that communities ehall not. wait until smallpox Is prevalent before compelling vaccination, i Appeal of Berkley. John Berkley of Fremont county has ap- pealed to the state supreme court for a second trial. Berkley was Indicted for stealing two horses from J. H. Miller and was convicted and sentenced to Afteen months in the state penitentiary. Berkley claims that the evidence did not sufficlently connect him with the larceny and he asks for another trial of the case. The Farmers Grain and Stock company of Ridgeway, Winnishiek county, was in- corporated today, capital, $10,000, by Ole J. Linde, Jacob Jacobson and many other tarmers. Select Literary Agent. The democratic state committee has se- lected Richard Burke of 0skaloosa to han- dle the literary matter for the state come mittee this year. Burke is editor of the Dally Oskaloosa Times-Journal and was | 1ast year the democratic candidate for sec- etary of state. Burke will come here soon and take up the work. The democrats an- | nounce that they expect to make much | more of this feature this year than ever | before and despite that they have no daily newspaper at the state capital belleve they will be able to make headway with a Iit- eray bureau. They will open headquarters bout September 10 in this city. Trains on New Rallroad, President Ellsworth of the lowa Falls rallroad announces that ou Wednesday of next week regular train service will be commenced on the Jowa Falls line into this {eity. The road has been constructed some time, but the work of preparing the depots and ballasting the track has gone on very slowly. A new freight depot has been erected in Des Molnes, but the trains will run to the union depot for passengers. Renew Fight on Dam. Tacltus Fussey has written letters to & large number of the leading fishermen and sportsment of the state reiative to the Bonaparte dom and it is probable that a meeting will be called at an carly date to carry on the fight against the rebullding {0t the dam unless a fishway properly cof | structed s bullt with it. Three of the candidates of political par- ties for governor are to speak on Labor day. Governor Cummins I8 to speak at Coltax, J. B. Sullivan is to speak at Clove- land and J. M. Work at Xeb, Nate Ken- dall Is to epeak at Albla on Labor day and J. H. Quick Is to be the orator at Mason City. Five employes of the Paper Mill and { Filler company of Tama have petitioned the | federal court to declare the company bank- rupt. They declare that the compuny in giving a second mortgage for $100,000 on its tock and plant overstgpped its legal rights, especially relating to the wages it owes | employes. |FOOD FOR ROYAL APPETITES Enormous Quantities Com d in the British Royal House- hold. The amount of food consumed in the British royal household is truly prodigious and consequently the most spacious lar- ders are necessary to contain it. As & mat- ter of fact, the larders, cellars and dairies cover an area of nearly a quarter of an acre. At all the king's residences, except Buckingham palace, the bread is produced in the royal bakeries, and when the king and his sulte are staying at Windsor an average of nearly two sacks of flour & day is converted Into bread by the five bakers in the household. There are six bakings a week and as the loaves leave the oven they are stored in the underground pantries. A great deal of cake and confectionery is also made daily, but the king shows a preference for a light seed cake, which s dispatched every day from a small shop in the High- lands. It is somewhat surprising to learn that approximately & ton of meat is consumed every week at Windsor, a good deal of which comes from the king's farm at Sandringham. |* Bo varied is the meat supply that king could, If he wished, be served with almost any joint he desired at an hour's the notice, though it is very rarely he selects anything not found in the menu which has been prepared In the Kkitchen. The meat on arrival ls stored In the loehouses and cut up by the king's butchers. Sandringham also supplics the royal dairfes with a large amount of butter and eggs, which are dispatched from the king's Norfolk home dally. The butter is sent in quarter-pound pats, stamped with the| crown, Elghteen gallons of new milk alone are consumed at Windsor every day, b des an equal proportion of cream. A great deal of the cheese comes from Somersetshire A daily supply of fish is received all the year round, and twice a week during the season some splendid salmon are sent from the king's fishings on the Dee, Bcot- fand is also responsible for the mar- malade, which is never omitted from the king's breakfast table. The cellars are capable of holding 15,000 bottles of wine and were originally bullt by George III. There are still some un- consumed bottles of wine of the same vint- age ae that drunk at the christening of George 1V; indeed, much of the wine is of great age, having been purchased and laid down by Queen Victoria, and the King fs constantly adding to the stock and keeps a taster always at work. Prominent in the cellars are many bot- tles of the chofcest Tokay from the vine- yards of the emperor of Austrla, for that monarch has never falled to send a case at Christmas for the past thirty years. India contributes its quota to the royal larder, for regular supplies of spices, chut- neys and other preparations are sent from Caleutta, together with natlve cordlals for which the soverelgn has a great liking. | In fact, every quarter of the empire sends something to the king's larder—even Malta, whence comes at intervals large quantities of sardines and pickled piichards. COSTLY FORM OF SPORT Yacht Owning and Racing Today Calls for a Long and Well- Filled Purse, As the date of the beginning of the Inter- national yacht races approaches popular {nterest In the contest becomes more acute than ever bofore since the victory of the old America more than half a century ago. Few parsons are aware of the number of yachts enrolled in the s.ggregate in the great pleasure and rdcing fleet on this side of the Atlantic or of the tied-up capital that they represent, It is @ fatt as significant as it is interest- Ing that more than $50,000,000 is Invested in America's rachting fleet, and of this | | tully $40,000,000 16 invested in steam yachts. | ‘The latter number more than 600 vessels. The spproximato ennual cost of runnin the fleet may be figured as follows: Wages of 5000 professionals, seamen, engineers, firemen, cooks, stewards, walters and coal passers, $1,500,000; stores, including lc?.‘prn» visions, wine and entertaining, $3,600,000; re- | pairs of all kinds and Insurance, $1,000,000 In other words, a grand total of $,000,000 a season is pald by the American people | for the pleasure of steam yachting. In estl- | mating the cost of keeping these vessels in | commission allowance should be made for | those that are on the sale list and not fitted out. There are, however, at least 5,000 profes- | slonals employed each vear for an average of three months. At $30 a month each the regular pay of able-bodled seamen, their wages would amount to $460,000. But when it i taken into consideration that the pay of captains and enginecrs varies from $00 to $300 per month, and that mates, quarter- masters, boatswains, assistant engineers | and firemen are peid extra; also that the | cooks and stewards command high wages | on large vessels, it 1s well within bounds to | figure the wages of the 5,000 men at $1,600,- | 000. To this must be added 50 cents a day for feeding this vast army of men, or a dally average of $2,500 for food alone. That there is a growing demand for steam yachts 1s ¢hown by the ease with which they are now chartered. It is far easfer for an owner to rent a first-class steam yacht than to rent an estate at Lennox or | Newport. While there is no fixed rate at | which yachis may be chartered, the price is usually at the rate of $10 a month for | each “yacht ton.” W. K. Vanderbiit' Vallant registers 218; the Margarita, | owned by A. J. Drexel, registers 1,707 tons, | and the Virginla about 470 tons., This would make the rental of a boat like the Valiant more than $20,00 a month; the Margarita, $17,000, and the Virginia about $4,500. Yachtsmen who have had experience in that line say that the other expenses con- nected with maintaining a yacht are |n keeping with the owner's tastes and |m‘H~‘ nations. They can hardly be determined or stimated any more than one can estimate & man's living expenses at home.—New York Commercial.
