for his country the right to vote. The
theory of the delegates on the soldier
proposition Is evidently an effort to
discourage men from Joining the fed-
eral army.
The Twelve Apostles at Guthrie

Body of W. W. orr, a Young Man,
Found Dead on Floor of Barn.
Prescott, March 14.—W. W. Orr, a
young man about 25 years of age, w.w
found dead upon the floor of the ham
at the home of his father at Mt. M r!a
twelve miles southeast of PreBCOtt.
Orr's skull was crushed, and be had
evidently bren dead some *.ime when
his body was discovered.
The manner in which Orr met his
death la a complete mystery, and all
efforts to determine the cause of his
death have failed. One theory is
that he was murdered, but this idea
has almost been abandoned by the
officers. Sheriff Hood was notifleJ
and went to the scene immediately.1
He secured bloodhounds from Cam
den, but they were unable to pick up j
a scent.
There are two other theories av to
the cause of Orr's death. One ts that'
he fell from a loft in the barn a-.id
the other is that he was kicked by a
mule. Sheriff Hood is inclined to the (
latter theory.
Orr had spent the past five y«ais
In Little Rock, where he was employ-
ed In an insurance office. He left.
Little Rock about three weeks igo
and returned to the home of his ^
father.
Iowa Miners' Convention.
Dos Moines, la., March 14.—The
tenth annual convention of District 13,
United Mine Workers of America, op-
ened in Odd Fellows hall this mornlns
with a full representation of delegates
from all the locals. The sessions will
continue several days and will be held j
behind closed doors. Many impor-
tant matters of interest to the miners >
of the state will be discussed.

The constitutional convention just
hates to quit. That legislating habit
has become a second nature with the
delegates.
No Rock Island official neglects to
visit Shawnee on every opportunity.
The city and the railroad are pals
in the work of making a "Greater
Shawnee."
Our streets are certainly in baa
shape so far as cleanliness is concern-
ed. Something should be done to
remedy the unsightly dirt and trash
spoiling the looks of Shawnee's paved
streets.
