REPORTORIAL EXPERIENCES.
'rthBsrLwek. Which the
the Haa Arter Stwi Oftea Fets
Chatns Dewat Rasnsr-.
The local editor of the Keokuk Consti-tutm-Vemocrui
bai keen wniiing up a
Teportorial experience T?hih is not un
osoal to the man whose life h as been de
void to any considerable degree to the
inveEliaatioa aad p-roper recording of
current events. It is not much of a ro
mance either, and here it is: '
People who read the news of the day
seldom have occasion to think of the en
ergy, physical, and mental, expended in
Retting the news before it appears in its
published shape. The experience writ
ten by himself of a reporter while "worn
ing up a story," will show some of the
things encountered in that work. The
reported facts in tha case of this peculiar
item as th?y reached the office were of
such a nature that a reporter, after hav
ing been given them, was placed on the cse
with instructions to thoroughly investi
gate it, which instructions meant that he
was to know all about it before he show
ed up a?ain at the office. He was soon
in the vicinity of the scene of what was
eaid to be the shooting of a colored min
ister of the gospel.
'In the vicinity" in this case meant out
in the country just beyond the limits of
the city. Livery stabies do not abound
in the neighborhood, so the reporter
walked, wuich is usually the case. Con.
suiting a chart, be started, his umbrella
under his arm, for it had rained, and
threatened to do it again. The board
sidewalks, last reminders of the city.
Boon gave out, aDd. bearing in mind the
good old gospel hymn, the reporur kept
in the middle of the road. At last a h.lt
was called, and promptly ofcejed. The
confines of his chart had been rescind,
and still the "cornfiald," reported to be
the scene of the shooting, had not been
found. Entering a farn. yard an icquiry
was made for John Smith's house.
"I shows Mm to you," said the farmer.
The reporter's spirits arose.
"You s;e dot trees?"
The reporter saw a c'ump of trees
about two miles up the valley, on an t la
vation.
'Veil, dot is Schon's house. Ven vou
vatcn cliae, you sw de eod ttbicken'
out. It vas a little vet to go mit de fleit.
Down mit dis roat vou come and bv ein-
odder roat. You took de f irst rout, he-
fore you comt mit dot. It pnng9 vou
putty close by echon's blace "
The reporter thanked the farau r very
heartily. He descended into a hollow,
and failed to locate the hnuse among the
trees, when he ascended the next hill. He
kept on in the road, howevej. uatil th
lane ended in a meadow. He crossed the
meadow and a corn fiVU certain he wnnM
see his touse from the other tidp. but he
didn't. Another mile was traveled, and
then enuring another farm yard ute, he
asked for John Smith's house.
This time a woman answered Lim
She bad jast lifted a bicyrle down the
front steps of the farm house.
JSO indeed; John Smith don't livp
here. That's bis corn field, though." said
she, pointing to one through which the
reporter naa just pass-.d. "lou lt find
his house over on the nther si ie of the
hill, among those tuts."
The women then mounted the bicycle
and proceeded to ride around the farm
yard. The reporter uttered sime more
thanks ODd reUaced his steps through the
corn field. As he reached the o her side
of the field, be came upon a woman milk
ing a cow. Whether it was the reporter's
sudden appearance upon the quiet scene,
or a more than usual ressure, by the
energetic farm woman will never be
known, but, at any rale, the cow gave a
suauen jump, upsetting the pail of rnilk.
lnecow s sudden change of location
did not, however, take her beyond the
reach of the farm woman's foot, which
instantly landed with a resounding
thump, upon the lower portion of the
cow's anatomy. A piece of fence rail
lyine close bv. was also brought into rr-
quisition. to emsbasize the furm woman's
displeasure at the unmannerly antics of
me cow.
Then for the first time. t :e worn in krw
the reporter, and a voice issued frnm un.
der the eun bonnet. The reporter ap
proached the fence and leaning over h
juBt as they do in nove'.s.he lifted his hat.
The young woman came towards him
slowly, loosening her 6kirtB. which, dur
ing the walking, had reen gathered up
and pinned behind her, also in a novel
fashion.
The young woman proved to be the
daughter of the mm who was supposed
to have shot the midnight marauder. Of
coarse, it was all a mistake. Ttie story
was not true.
"My pap didn't have no g n in his hand
fer four months. The rostin ears htz
been stolen, and we 'spect. somebody,
but pap hain't shot him yet."
"Well. I hope ftadame, that ynu writ
pardon me for coming out here eieht
miles, on a rainy day, just to scare your
cow and have her kick ever the pul "
"Oh! law! It don't make no particular
difference 'bout the milk. Bet always
was a mean cow. I'll tie her bind If gs
next time . "
The story wasn't published.

Mi at ea rat.
The Mcline Dispatch of last eveaing
contains the following in explanation f
the difficulties between the men and the
superintendent at the Holine Wagon
Company's works, which led to yesterdy's
trouble between Supt. Andtnon and Lis
men:
Rurmri have been circulated on the
street that when the Moline Wagon Com
pany beg a work agiin thera would be a
change of wages and that it would be
largelv a reduction. In or ler to secure
the facts i i the cae a representative of
the Dispatch intirviewei Mr. Rsenfieid.
president of the company, this morning
Mr. R 8n field said thit in no case hai
the wages of any man working by the
day been changed; but that the raes on
piece work had been changed, in socce
cases by increasing them, and in others
by reduclog them. Being asked why
wages had been reduced, be said that the
company had put in new machinery, and
Lad adopted new methods, and that with
these the men could make as much money
per day as they had formerly made. In
a large number of instances they had
the men figure on the work and make
their own estimate of what they should
receive for it, and in every instance te
company had paid them their price. Be
ing asked why any rates had been raised,
he said that some of tneir men were not
getting enough for their work, and the
company had simply sought (in the
changes) to equalize wages, and he did
not think the gross amount to be paid
to the men would be a dollar less than
formerly, or that the wages per day of
any mm would be changed to any ex
tent.
. Some of the workmen were also inter
viewed. Oae who is employed by the
day. 8&id that there ba1 bees no change
of his wagts, neither had be beard of any
fordaylabcr.
A man wio does contract work and
operate? a punch and shears, said that
there are changes in the prices of his
works but that he thought the result
would be about the same. Heretof e
he has bad two prices for woik on dif
ferent kinds of wagon, but in the future
there is to be but one price to apply
to all kindf. The new price is a re
duction from the old scale on one class
of work, but an it crease on the o;hr.
Whether he can make m"re or less mony
than under the former schedule depends
on the proportion of the different cUsrtes
of work.
The same man said that be had bad
conversations with others, but bad not
beard of aiy who thought that their
earnings wot. 11 be materially &ff;eted by
the changes Jiade. He said also thu the
company is about pu'ting in a michiae
for use in th; cutting and welding of
tires This diss of work will hereaf
ter be done by machinery operated by
another employe than the one who his
been engaged in the work. For this
work, as he understood, there is to be a
material redaction for each set of wheels.
This, of course, was f be expected when
the company goes to the expense of put
ting in a machine by the use of which a
man can turn out a much larger number
of sets a dav.
