PICKED DYNAMITE CAP
WITH DISASTROUS RESULT

Dean Colony, 9-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Colony, residing near
Fifth avenue in the east part of the
city, was quite seriously injured at
his home yesterday afternoon by the
explosion of a dynamite cap with
which he was playing.
The father brought home from
work a number of caps for firing the
explosive, and left them in his trous-
ers' pocket, where the lad found
them. With hoyish curiosity he tried
to find out what was inside one of
them, and was engaged in picking it
with needle, when it exploded.
The cap was held in the left hand
close to his breast at the time. The
hand was badly shattered, while his
breast and face were burned and lac
Grated. 1t is thought there is little
danger of permanent injury, though
care will necessarily have to be taken
to guard against symptoms of lock-
jaw that often follow accidents of
this kind.

1 Early last evening Officer Thode ar
rested Joseph Jenkins on one of the
suppressed indictments returned by
the grand jury yesterday morning
| charging him with arson. He was
turned over to the sheriff's forces and
being unable to furnish the $500
bonds that was demanded for his re-
lease he was locked up.
( The arson charge is brought in-con-
Injection with the firing of the grocery
store of Jacob Silyern1an on Seven
/ teenth street twice recently. The
first time the place .was badly dam
! aged, and although the origin could
not be explained there was not any
| direct evidence of incendiarism. The
| place was fired the second time last
! Saturday morning early and the dam
age was but slight. 1t was so evident
! that someone had started this fire in
tentionally that an investigation was
made.
The alarm was given by two men
who, in passing the SHERMAN gro
Gerry on their way home early Satur-
| day morning, had seen jenkins stand
ing near. He had asked for match
with which he claimed to desire to
light his pipe. After the men had
passed on they looked back and saw
the fire, upon which they gave the
alarm.
Another one Of those indicted was
Peter Pfaff, who is charged with
keeping open saloon election day.
Late yesterday afternoon he. gave
$500 bonds for appearance for trial

FRAME A PROTEST
Business Men Meet to Act on
Change of Dump Boat
Location.
WILL PETITION AGAINST Il
Dumping of Garbage G'rom Improved
LeVee Detrimental TO Vari-
Gus Interests.

a meeting of business men and 9th
at the Hotel Harms to formulate
course of protest against the propOs
ed location of the city dump boat on
the business leyee at the foot of Sew
enteenth street and to map out
course which will result in a decision
on the part of the powers that be to
keep the boat at its old location
III the lower end of town.
The meeting was an informal one
and all took part i'll the discussion:
No organization was made further
than that every business man is to
consider himself ii committee of one
to get out and hustle for Il petition
which is to be circulated throughout
every business district and to others
affected by the location of the boat.
VIII Petition Council
This petition. with as large a list
of Signers as can be secured. will be
presented to the city council and that
body will be asked to prohibit the
changing of the boat. Besides the bus
mess men the c.. NJ & st. z. railway
and the Hotel Harms management
are opposed to the removal of the
boat as a distinct detriment to their
interests.
Those now working on the matter
state that they feel that with a gen
eraI awakening of interest in the mat
ter and wider publicity that the pro-
test against the proposed location of
| the dump boat will become so insis-
tent that it will force recognition
| from the council.
The reason the health and police
committee of the city council gives
| for the removal of the boat is in or
der to save the expense of hauling
garbage to the lower end OF the city,
it being claimed that the use of one
collecting outfit would be doneS away
with.
The boat is now at the foot of Sew
entcenth street back of the D., K. l.
d y. W. depot, having been towed up
yesterday, but no garbage has been
disposed of there owing to the fact
that the facilities for anchoring and
| operating il have not been provided

CABLE LAID ACROSS
RIVER AT BURLINGTON

The interesting operation of laying
cable across the Mississippi river
at Burlington took place Wednesday.
Ii was placed under the water in the
same manner as the Atlantic cable
and is the property of the American
Telegraph & Telephone company.
This company connects with the city
over the wires of the Iowa Telephone
company which span the bridge. But
the cable will do away with this ar
Tangement.
The new cable is from 1900 to 5000
feet in length and contains % wires.
The wires in the submarine cable are
heavy and of good qnility and the
covering is put On to stand the raw
ages of the water.
The laying of the cable was an in
teresting operation. 1t was coiled on
a big reel and the reel placed on Il
barge. y steamboat towed the barge
and the cable was gradually paid out,
starting from the Illinois side just
below the bridge. 1t rests on the
bottom of the river and it is expected
to be kept in place by its own weight,
which is something like 1900 pounds.
The Iowa company will still keep its
wires ON the bridge and the new cable
will afford additional means of com
munication for long distance service.
An expert in the employ of the Amer
lean Telegraph & Telephone company
was present to oversee the laying of
the cable and the making of conncc-
tiOnS on both ends
