The jockeys BOgie.
From Ainslee's Magazine


The bogie of Jockeys life is taking on
flesh He breads this as a beauty breads
to lose her charms. and his whole thought
from the age of sixteen to twenty-five is to
avoid the catastrophe. This is the perni-
cious feature of the life and distinguishes
1t as healthful sport from boxing or from
foot ball, In which the physical being is de-
veloped according to the laws of nature
and is not outraged or baked. In order to
reduce his weight nine pounds Monk Over
ton once remained in a Turkish bath from
10 p. m. one day until 2 pm. the next, with
no nourishment except a cup Of tea and
some toast Again, Mike Bergen, mount ed
on a favorite, rode such a poor race that
the stewards came to the paddock to inves-
ugate and punish him for fraudulent riding
They forgave the performance, however
when they found him collapsed and unable
to speak. Knowing that he had to ride at a
certain weight, Bergen had spent forty
eight hours in Turkish bath, eating moth
ing whatever. When he reached the track
he was so weak that a stimulant was nee
essary. The one drink of whisky he took
SO demoralized his faculties that he could
scarcely keep his seat in the saddle Such
violation of physical development at the
age when boy should be most rapidly ma
turing, makes it difficult for a jockey ever
to become robust Moreover the mere rid
ing of race is a terrible drain on the
nerve force Of jockey. A boy may lose a
pound of weight in a hard race.

An indictment was secured in the
October term of the Mahaska court
but the defendant could not then be
located. He was traced to Coal
Valley, Ills but he had left there
before his arrest could be secured.
He was next heard of at Rock Island
and Mr.. Cricket wired for his arrest
at that place and this time the officers
were successful in securing the man.

The scene is a kitchen with a door

the floor and just at the stage right
of the door are erected appliances &c
placed that the wind causes the air to
take sort of whirligig course down

against the window and when the

IOWA LEGISLATURE.
Much Work in Store for the Com
ing Session.

Des Moines, Dec. is The coming
session the Iowa Legislature which
meets Jan. IS, bids fair to be about
the usual length, although it will not
be as exciting as was The one two
years ago. There viii be no contest
over the two United States senators,
aud Willard L, Eaton, of Usage, will
be chosen Speaker by reclamation.
There is more or less division over
the other officers of the two houses,
and a large number of candidates
have come out for each ofthe Offices.
The agitation for redistricting is
growing all over the state, and it
would not be surprising if several
bills would be introduced along this
line. The people of northwestern
Iowa want more senators and repre-
sentatives, and they want another
congressman. Among the other ques,
items that are to come up are appro-
priations for the st. Louis exposition.
There seems to be a general senti-
ment among the people of the state
that Iowa ought to be as we'll il not
better represented at this exposition
than any of the western states. A
large appropriation is probable, and
the least sum that has been mention
ed is $3.50, 900.
Large appropriations have been
asked by all of the educational insti-
tutions, and they will probably secure
plenty OF money to pay their run ming
expenses and for future improve
ments. The board of control has ask
ed for large appropriations for all o!
the state institutions. The aggregate
IS over IS ZOO, 900, the greater part OF
which is for improvements in build
ngs.

SOFT COAL TRUST.
Operators Fear the Scheme but
Think it Will Fail.

Des Moines, Dec. 18.-Mine owners
in the Des Moines district express a
determination to fight the ]. Pier
pont Morgan combine, if such ex-
lists, tooth and nail, and they declare
the plan is hardly feasible in Iowa
owing to the large number of indie
pendent small mines. They are much
concerned, however, at the extent to
which the syndicate of which Harry
Taylor is agent, has progressed in
the work of securing options.
The movement started in northern
Missouri, with uniform success, and
gradually worked northward until it
included all the mines in southern
Iowa. The Oskaloosa district was
the last reached and 1T is expected
the Des Moines operators will be ap-
preached next.
Some of the local owners suggest
that Taylor may be the agent of
syndicate seeking to control the coal
output lalong the Burlington lines
only, but it appears a number Of
options have been secured on mir es
outside the Burlington's territory.
Future developments alone will de-
termine this point.
ThesfaCt that at Des Moines and at
OskalOosal the representatives. OF
Taylor have given out the impression
that they represent the Morgan syn
dictate is decidedly disconcertinP
to local operators. Morgan, not
content with controlling the railroa
and shipping syndiCates, has success

DID DUTY AND DIED.
Suicide of Michael Levish AN Ac--
cOuntant of Chicago.

Ottumwa, Dec IL Geo d Dubose
untilrecently confidential bookkeeper
ofthe Iowa and-Illinois Goal company,
is accused of embezzlement OF 81 700,
from the company and is confined In
the detention hospital here, suffering
from smallpox. His accuser has COM
mitted suicide in Chicago. Dubose's
alleged crime was discovered by
Michael Levish, of 1911 Armitage ave-
nue., Chicago, who came here three
weeks ago to fill Dubose's position
while Dubose was i'll. One week after
arrival here Levish claimed to have
discovered the alleged shortage and
so reported to his employers. Brood
ing over the possibility of the report
sending Dubose to the penitentiary
seems to have led Levish to resign,
return to Chicago and later commit
suicide.
