SUDDEN DEATH.
Thomas Golden, Near Pekay, Expires
at the Supper Table.

Thos. Golden, an aged miner resid-
ing at Pekay and working in the mines
at that place expired very suddenly
Saturday evening. The old man was
boarding at the home Of James Car
ter. He was seemingly in the best of
spirits and in his usual state of health.
He had seated himself at the supper
table for the evening meal. There
had been no complaint of any kind.
He had commenced eating and had
talked some with the members Of the
household. He gave a sudden gasp as
though choking and fell to the side.
Assistance was given Immediately, but
he was quite dead when raised up. 1t
was thought at first that he had chok-
ed to death, but it was quite clear that
death vas due to heart failure.
The deceased was a native of Ire
land but had been in this country en-
gagged inmining for years. He was 70
years and 3 months old. So far as known
he had no living relatives. The fun
eral was held at the Carter residence
a. 10 o'clock this morning and inter
ment made in Eddyville cemetery.

A GIGANTIC SWINDLE.
Big Real Estate Fraud Unearthed
at Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, Ia, March 9.--W. e.
McAlpine, a real estate dealer of Whit
temore, Iowa. was arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal G.. f. Gustafson
CT this city, charged with being impli-
Gated in what is alleged to be one of
the most unique land swindIes on rec
ORD. McAlpine was taken to Clarion
for a hearing before Commissioner
Rogers at that place, but the hearing
was postponed until March II, in or
der that witnesses might be brought
to Clarion to give their testimony. Nc
Alpine asserts his innocence.
1t is alleged that McAlpine and his
associates have been using the United
States mails to carry on fraudulent
land transactions, relating to disposal
Of lands from the Sanders grant in
Tennessee. The postoffice depart
ment has been investigating the mat
ter for several months, and the arrest
OF McAlpine was made on a warrant
issued as a result of these researches.
1t is alleged that $4,000 acres of
Ian nave been sold out of this tract,
which at most contained no more than
s 600 or 10000 acres. 1t is claimed
that deeds, usually for 1000 acres Of
land, purporting to be signed by Mr..
Sanders, who has been dead for a
number Of years, were sent to the
bank at Whittemore and were issued
to McAlpine on payment of $40. AT
ter that MCAlpine was free to dispose
Of the deeds on any terms which he
might desire, making a profit on all
that he got from them over and above
the $40 which he paid for each deed
in the first place.
1t is said that the swindle has been
worked very extensively, and wit
from Tennessee, Chicago and
st. Louis will be present at the hear
ing.

CHILD LABOR IN IOWA.
Miners Take Action Looking To-
ward a Reform.

Des Moines, March 9.-The United
Mine Workers convention assembled
again this morning after a recess from
saturday afternoon. The convention
gave an hour to the discussion of the
report Of the special committee which
was appointed to draft a bill govern
ing child labor. The bill presented is
a draft of the child labor law of the
state of Massachusetts and vas adopt
ed with one amendment. The amend
ment provides that the state shall pro-
vide a fund to care for INDECENT chill
dren.
After the adoption Of the report of
the committee the scale committee re-
ported that it was ready to report and
the representatives of the press were
then excluded from the room. The
entire day was given over to the de-
bate on the report Of the committee
and the debate was one of the hottest
ever INDUCED in by an Iowa conven-
ton. There were many resolutions
presented to the scale committee and
all Of them asked for a considerable
raise in the present scale; much more
indeed than was granted the miners
of the Illinois-Indiana districts. A
great many of the delegates have de-
clared that they viii not agree to a
raise of 1917 per cent and insist that
nothing but the increase demanded in
their resolutions will be permitted.
What Operators Want.
The position which will undoubtedly
be assumed by the operators will be
a liberal one, but there are a few
things which they will insist on hav-
ing included in their contract this
year. The most important feature
they will demand is that the union
shall guarantee to the mine owners
tnat it will furnish sufficient men at
all times to keep the mines running to
their capacity. This has been n Of
the greatest objections of the opera
during the past two or three
They declare they are fire.
quently compelled to run the full en-
CINE and hosting force of the mines
while so short of miners that the out
put is not enough to pay the expenses.
To illustrate: A mine is running 800
men. At starting time in the morning
$50 men show up for work, the rest
of them being off to go to a show, or
to observe some holiday. 1t takes just
as many men at the engines and hoist
ing and other necessary labor to lift
the output of the small force of men
as it does if the full force is at work.
This is the point on which the opera
tors will demand protection. And it
Is even alleged that the operators will
demand that there be a clause in the
contract this year guaranteeing them
indemnity from loss SO incurred. These
two features are apt to aus a bitter
clash before they are disposed of.

CURE FOR HICCOUGHS.

Is not attended with fatal results and
that in most cases it attacks otherwise
healthy persons. still. it is one of the

and when you are full these muscles
