Burlington, Aug. 9.-Gen. Chafles RI.
Grosvenor of Ohio was in the CITY
last night on his way to Pennington,
where he speaks today at the Chau-
tauoua He was in a very cam anu
peaceful frame of mind in spite OF the
fact that he expected to engage on the
morrow in deadly debate with CHAMP
Clark on the question of party prefer
ence. He said he had just written an
article for the Ohio Magazine on the
subject of third term for president, IN
which, while making no reference 10
present conditions or to Roosevelt, he
argues that the idea of an unwrltten
law against third term Tor president
is all moonshine. His contention IS
that man may be reelected TO the
chief executive office three times or a
dozen times if the people wish 1t, WITH
out interfering with any kind oil raw
real or fancied. In fact, General Gros-
venor is of the opinion that when we
get a good man in the presidential
chair we ought to hang onto him.
What do you think of Roosevelts
position?" was asked.
Il believe he is thoroughly sincere in
his attitude against third term. But
that does not mean that he Will refuse
to accept a second nomination. He
has never said he would refuse NOM
ination. and | don't believe he would.
He couldn't, in fact. There is no man
in the country who has a right to re-
fuse such a demand from the people.
1t would be his duty to accept the bur
den on such an unmistakable popular
demanl.'
General Grosvenor said he did not
expect to engage in the lecture bust

FROM ALL OVER IOWA

Ludwig, the nineteen-year-old son of
James Ludwig, had been found dead
on the highway east Of town near Hen
ry Derner's place. DR.. Jones was sum-
moned and went out to the scene, but
the boy was beyond human aid. An
inquest held developed the startling
fact that he had purchased strychnine
at DR.. Jones' drug store, claiming his
father wanted it to poison rats. He
must have taken the poison right after
he got out of town and at Henry
Derner's place he dropped. He lived
only few minutes after Mr. Derner
reached his side. No cause can be
assigned for the rash act.

Albert, the 5-year-old son of Mr..

burned Sunday, the result of play
ing with matches. About half past
twelve o'clock he was out by the barn
on the premises. He had got hold of
some matches and had put some hay
and rubbish in a tin pail and set fire to
it. The flame caught onto his clothes
and he ran screaming towards the
house. His mother rushed out of doors
and the Adler family next door also
ran to his assistance and the women
quickly smothered the flames with
their aprons and dresses. Sam Adler,
youth of about Is, with great pres
ence of mind, got a bucket of lard and
some flour and applied them on the
burns, pending the arrival of physi-
clan, who was hurriedly summoned.
The boy was badly burned on the
chest and stomach and slightly on his
back and one arm. His condition be-
came much worse on Monday after
noon at half past five and he succumb-
ed about ten o'clock to his injuries,
his heart being too weak to Withstand

NINE COAL IN RIVER
People Near Fort Dodge Taking
Out Tons and Tons of Fuel
From River Bed
COAL OF THE BEST QUALITY
Low Water Enables Them to Get at
the Deposits of Coal Which Comes
to Surface Where Water Has Worn
Away the Land How 1t Is Sc
cured.
,pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Aug. 9.-The people OF
the vicinity of Merrils ford are min
ing coal out of the bottom of the river.
They are not getting a chunk now and
then but are hauling tons and tons OF
it away each day SO far as is known
Fort Dodge is the only town in the
state where miners may dress in bath
ing suits and load coal into boats in
stead of into cars.
While this is not the way they act
ually get the coal out it would be pos
sible for them TO do this. AS matter
of fact they drive their teams out IN
to the shore where they are broken up
and loaded into wagons to be hauled
to the farm homes or brought to town
and sold.
The coal is of the best quality and
crops out in the river bed, where the
people pry up chunks with crowbars
that weigh from two hundred to
seven hundred pounds and putting
a chain about them fasten them to the
rear of the wagon and drive ashore.
1t is no trick at all TO get load n
an hour or so.
The discoveryof the coal was made
about five or six years ago and at
that time a considerable amount of 1T
was taken out. Every season since
that time when the water has been
low enough the people who were wise
to the situation have taken advantage
of it, But the past three years the
river has remained so high the most
of the time there has been little chance
to get at it. For the past week the
river has been away down and the
work in the river bed has been carried
on extensively. For a time there has
not been an hour in the day but there
were teams and drivers at work there
The question as to whom the coal
belongs is one that has so far not
bothered any one. 1t is probable it
belongs to the state, but as long as
the state don't say word the farmers
and others will appropriate it to their
own use. 1t is probable that there will
be no protest and that the digging
each year will be continued as it is
now
