Simms, the Huntington (W. Va.) stock
dealer who dropped dead holding a
royal flush in poker game, was the
victim of excessive emotion over good
luck.
That royal flush killed him." said
Mr.. Sheedy. ut is the most logical
thing In the world to those who know
what it is to win or lose large amounts
of money. I know by experience.
Poker, however, never excited me. A
horse race does. So will a prize fight
today. 1 have felt the hair rise on my
head at great racing finish, where l
had much money on the winning horse.
The elation, at times, was almost
painful, and for a minute my heart
did three times as much work as 1t
was made to do. Loss does not affect
the heart action as does a great gain.
The hearts action slows up under loss
and disappointment. The result is
great lassitude. On the contrary, when
the normal man makes a great gain,
he Will experience buoyancy of spirit
for hours.
IF his heart is not normal that same
big winning may make him ill.
ut may kill him, as it did Col Simms
and as it did another man down south
only last week, who drew to three aces
and got the fourth. These men un-
doubtedly did not have normal hearts,
but under the ordinary incidents of
daily business life they would probably
have lived many years.
THE excitement was too much for
them.
i've watched the emotions of men
under the stress Of gambling excite
ment in all the countries in the world
for over thirty years, and 1 know
what I'm talking about when 1 say
that great winnings will sometimes
kill. but a great loss never. The first
overtaxes the heart action, the second
practically decreases it's work."

The burglars smoked and chatted
while at their work. They tried four
times to blow open the strong box in

OBITUARY.
BURKE.


Miss Mary Mahoney was born in
Hinchenbrook county, Canada, July
9, 1928. She lived there until her mar.
riage to Edmund Burke, on April 2,
1857. The young welded couple came
Immediately to Mitchell county Iowa,
and settled on the homestead of 100
acres, which is now the beautiful
Wapsie Valley Stock Farm where
their son, Thomas Burke resides.
A family of six children was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Burke, all of whom are
now living here, except one daughter,
Kate, who died at the age of IL years.
The children are John, Thomas, and
Will Burke, Mrs. Mary Richmond and
Miss Nellie Burke.
In 1883 Mr.. and Mrs. Burke moved
from the farm to Riceville, and Mr..
Burke died June 8, 1889.
Mrs. Burke had been feeling real
well of late and her sudden death at
her home in Riceville last Friday
evening, Jan. 20, 1905, came as a
shock to her children and many
friends.
Rev. Father O'Brien conducted the
services, holding solemn high mass at
the CATHOLIC church, Monday morning
at half past ten. A large gathering
of people were present from all over
the country, showing the high esteem
in which Mrs. Burke was held. The
floral offerings were beautiful.
The whole community joins the
children In sympathy over the loss of
this good mother Riceville Recorder.
