FATAL ACCIDENT AT DIES MONIES
w. D. Burkhart Run Down and Killed
by Rock Island Train.

Des MONIES, Jan. 10.-W. De We're
Burkhardt of 1902 East Capitol avenue,
aged 90 years. was killed by train
on the Rock Island road at o'clock
last evening, his body being dragged
under the wheels for more than a block
and was found mangled and unrecog-
nizable just west of Seventh street.
The CHASTITY find was made by an
employe of E. M. Ellingson & Co.. who
discovered the torn and shapeless form
lying just west of the Seventh street
crossing at Vine street as he left the
packing house on his way TO his home.
He ran back to the office for assistance
and telephoned the police, who arrived
shortly and took charge of the corpse.
In the early dusk at which the acct
dent occurred, and in the nearly empty
streets in that section of the city, no
one saw the accident which resulted in
death, and only the traces of the body
In the snow and the bits of torn cloth
ing and flesh found strewn along the
tracks for more than a block give the
basis for a surmise as to- how the
young man met his death.

before the finding of the body. and the
one which evidently caused his death.
was west -ibound freight which passed
through the Rock Island depot without
stopping, just at o'clock. The freight
was a heavy one. and undoubtedly
Burkhardt was struck by it at Sixth
street or at point a few feet west
of Sixth street.

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Demand has not
improved, altho dealers expect
broader general inquiry here in the
next few days and for this reason they
have been endeavoring to gather in
a. pretty good stock of desirable steers.
but are not anxious to get hold of any
which lack fairly good breeding. The
small call for light stockers and plain
feeding cattle, in the past week still
continues, and while supplies of these
have been small of late they are still
sufficiently plentiful to fill all require
ments of the trade. General prices are
not much different from the closing
range last week. A few good steers
sold at $4.00D4.15, but there were not
many above $500 and most fairly good
500 to $50 pound lots brought $4,000
3.S5. while the plain light weights
ranged down to $40. Bulk of common
to fair stoclers sold at $2.65M3.10. with
a few smooth stockers at 1925 $3.50,
while some very poor kinds ranged I'M
der $3.50.

WILL MOVE PRISON
Question Of Removal Of tho Fort
Madison Penitentiary to More Con-
venient Location Likely to Come Be.

fore the Legislature.
Des Moines, Jan. 1O.-It is not un-
likely that he legislature will be con-
fronted with proposition for the re-
moval of the state penitentiacy at Fort
Madison to a better location.
The committee Of the assembly nam
proposal to investigate reformatory
and adopt the ndeterminate senta lce
system for Iowa, is now considering the
question of how far it should make
recommendations in this regard. There
is no special disagreement among the
members of the commission, as the
situation is understood. But whether
it should pass the matter without rec
onlmendation, or recommend that
new site within Fort Madison be Sc
cured for the prison, or urge the re-
moval of the institution to more CEN
trail and better adapted location with
ing the state, are inquiries with which
the commission is now spending it's
spare time.
Commissioners are Senator Saunders
and Representatives Temple and Jones.
1t is understood that Senator Saund-
ers is not inclined to recommend re-
moval and that Representative Jones
rather favors such a recommendation.
1t is possible that a compromise may
be reached, suggesting to the legisla-
ture the ACCESSIBILITY of making ex-
tended appropriations for an institution
to be used as penitentiary, the leg
is allure to act then with the views,
merely, of the commissioners, as indi-
viduals before it instead of their rec
concentrations as agents of the assem-
bly,.
Reformatory Depends.
The commission is we'll agreed upon
the main points Of the subject which 1t
has considered. 1t favors the estab-
lishment of reformatory as soon as
sufficient prison cells Of a suitable
character are provided for the convicts
and the adoption of the indeterminate
sentence with all of the equipment and
machinery to make it effective-a board
OF parole or pardons etc.
To make reformatory in the future
possible, it is essential that sufficient
prison room be provided for the con-
Wet population, the reformatory being
only for the men under 80 who are
committed thereto. To provide this
room it has been proposed that Fort
Madison be made modern peniten-
tary. AT present it is a disgrace to
Iowa. The management of Warden
Jones is commended in the highest
terms by the commissioners, but the
prison equipment itself is a half CEN
fury behind the times and really is
relic of the days of barbarism. To
equip it properly a new cell house
should be erected to accommodate
about 500 convicts.
