Train was, and the common reply was,
THE biggest crank on earth. Ana yet
in another way he was the most prac-

every project he undertook, was his

He has written a number OF books
on various topics pertinent to their
time. tho In none OF them has he at

that matter there are other noted men

the book is as fascinating as any modern

Davenport, Rock Island and Moline Iron
Moulders May Strike.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, March 23.-As announced
several weeks ago the iron moulders of
the three cities have given their en-
ployers notice that after April /, they
will work only nine hours each day.
They are awaiting developments. AS
yet the manufacturers have not made
a reply to the notice and it remains to
be- seen what will be done. The man
ufacturers of the three cities have an
association and 1T is said that meet
ing will be held some time next week
and this matter will be brought up at
that time and discussed. What action
they will take in the matter will be an
nounced.
Some of the manufacturers are in
clined to refuse the demands, claiming
that with shorter hours, the interest
on their shop investments will be corr
respondingly less, and that it will be
a loss to them of an hour a day for
each man who is employed.

bic DEAL IN IOWA COAL
Hooking Company, With Prop
erty Worth Over a Million
Dollars, Organized
PRIMARILY A RAILROAD DEAL
One of the Biggest Mining Interests
of the State involved in the Trans
action-lowa Central and M. & ST. L.
Lines the Prime Movers-IiIinois
Central to Be Supplied.

| Des Moines, March 23-The Hooking
erty amounting to over a million dol
lars in value, has just been formed in
Iowa, the past week, and will furnish
the coal to the Iowa Central and Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroads, which
presumably are backed by the Illinois
Central. This is one of the largest coal
deals ever consumated in the state and
as a result the vast supply of coal that
is needed for the Illinois Central road
and the two roads mentioned will come
from the fields of Iowa instead of Illi-
nois as heretofore.
The new company secures control of
thea mines, machinery and other prop
erty of the White Brest Fuel Company
at Hilton, Monroe county, located five
miles south of Abba, and also the mines
and other property located at Hooking
two miles south of Abba.
The transfer of this property is to
be made the first of next month and
will then be placed under the manage
ment OF Berry Rebhecent. The deed
will be filed in Monroe county. The
company has already filed articles of
corporation.
This property will comprise one Of
the biggest mining interests in the state
and the output of the mines when they
are working to their full capacity will
be something enormous. The mines at
Hooking have a capacity of 1900 tons
a day, mine run, yielding 1900 tons Of
lump coal, while those at Hilton yield
about 1900 tons per day, netting 1000
tons slack. This will give a daily out
put of something like 1900 tons of
screened coal, one of the largest out
puts of any individual company in the
state.
One of the advantages to be gained
by the use of the Iowa coal is that it
can be mined and distributed over the
system Of these three roads at a much
cheaper rate than can the Illinois coal
This plays an important part in the new
deal that has just been consummated
from an economic point of view.
ne IOWA CentTal ROAD runs into Al
bia and from there south into the coal
mining districts, SO that there is a great
advantage in the distributing point.
The Iowa Central crosses the Illinois
Central at Ackley, and from there the
product can be shipped east and west.
Negotiations for this deal have been
on for some time, and on account ofthe
large amount of property that was.
involved the deal was constantly de-
layed. Hundreds of acres of land are
involved and also thousands of dollars
in equipment. Operation under the
of the new company will
commence the first of the month.

doned Although the condition Oh th'
pope is still the center of interest, the
case of Mgr Volponi has attracted much
attention, not only because OF ms ONCE
of secretary of the consistorial congrega-
ton. to which he had just been appointed
by Pope Leo, but also on account OF the
manner in which he was seized by his
fatal. Illness, and it Is hardly possible to
describe the sensation and emotion which
prevailed at the vatican when his death
was announced.
From the moment he was stricken and
fell to the floor Mgr. Nolponi lost en-
tirely the power of speech and the use
of the entire right side of his body and
he was apparently unconscious when ne
died. The cause of death was cerebral
congestion.
Great care has been taken TO keep the
news of Mgr. Volponi's illness and death
from the pope.
orders have been given that the bells
of the vatican and St Peters shall not
be tolled for the death of Mgr Volponi,
