a serious manner. Some voters
never pay much attention TO the

GOT SMALL HAUL
Robbers Who Wrecked the Chicago
Great Western Depot, at Frederieks-
bura, Secured Only $1.ss in Cash,
and Other Small Plumber.
spec,al to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Fredericksburg. Feb. 6.-The robbers
who broke into the Chicago Great
Western depot here Saturday night
and blew open the safe with nitro
glycerine, got only a small reward for
their efforts. Only $1.3s, all in pennies
was found in cash and besides this
amount, the plunder included some
gum chocolates, the contents of a pen-
ny-in- -the-slot machine, and some 9TH
er junk.
The loss to the railroad company,
however, will amount to quite a sum
in the replacement of the safe and
the repairs to the depot, which was
wrecked by the explosion.
Although the intonatioon resulting
from the discharge Of the nitro-glycer-
inc must have been very loud, no one
in the town was awakened. The de-
pot is situated fully a block from the
nearest residence. Following the
breaking of the safe, the robbers broke
into the tool house of the G. G. w.
section in this city and took therefrom
a hand car upon which they made
good their escape. Sheriff c. W..
Schnurr of New Hampton was noti-
fed as soon as the robbery was dis
covered. He has discovered that two
fellows bought tickets from Sumner to
Oelwein and inclines to the belief that
thew went from the latter city to Wa
terloo. Sheriff Schnurr is doing every
thing in his power to apprehend the
robbers.

Agreement Reached Today to
Conclude Debate on Measure
at a O'clock Wednesday
GILLESPIE ATTACKS THE ROADS
Introduces Resolution Demanding an
Investigation Of the Pennsylvania
and Allied Lines and Declares the
Report of the President an Insult
Work of Congress.

Washington, Feb. 6.-An agreement
was reached in the house today to close
the debate on the railroad rate bill at
4:30 tomorrow afternoon.
Gillespie, of Texas, author of the
resolution regarding the alleged Penn
sylvania railroad combination, an
swered yesterday by the president de-
clared today the answer was an in
suit; that with the great machinery
at hand complete investigation of ac-
tual conditions should have been made,
He said such an investigation would
show: That the railroads carrying
bituminous coal to Atlantic ports are
Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Norfolk and Western and Read
ing. He asserted an investigation
would show there had been an allot-
ment to each coal carrying road Of
certain territory to prevent COMPETE
ton in the markets by means of rate
adjustments, agreements and combina-
tions Also that the Pennsylvania and
New York Central, by means Of their
stock ownership arrangements have
prevented coal from the territory Of
the Norfolk & Western and Chesa-
peake & Ohio being offered anywhere
above Virginia capes; also that the
Pennsylvania Company has the power
to curtail shipments from the territory
served by the Baltimore & Ohio and
Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk &
Western; also that the Baltimore &
Ohio declines to allot fair proportion
of cars to independent shippers or to
allow Independent companies to open
up new mines and become shippers on
the line of the Baltimore & Ohio. Gill
lespie has prepared resolution which
he will introduce requesting the pres
ident to direct the interstate commerce
commission to make an immediate in
vestigation Of all these charges.
The investigation provided for in the
Gillespie resolution consists of eight
queries to be made by the interstate
commerce commission. First, wheth-
er the roads carrying coal have any
ownership or interest in mines; sec
ond, whether the officers of these
roads are interested personally in
mines; third whether there is any
contract between the mines and roads,
amounting to restraint of trade, or
creating monopoly in bituminous
coal; fourth, if such above facts are
found to exist, then the commission is
required to report the details of re-
lationship and set forth the agreements
on terms of monopoly or ownership
interests; fifth, the commission to re-
port as to the system of coal car dis
tribution; sixth, it is to suggest a
remedy; seventh, to report facts and
conclusions it may deem pertinent;
eighth, to make an investigation at it's
earliest opportunity.

YATES MAN SUICIDES
Rev. George H. Simmons, Of Peoria,
ILL.,, Found Dead in Bed This Morn
ina--Grave Charges Made Against
Him by States Attorney, Two
Bank. and Hi. Congregation.

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb. 6.-Rev. George II. .
Simmons, pastor of the First Baptist
church, president of the Interstate
Savings Bank, and Peoples Savings
Bank, and recently appointed manager
Of the Yates senatorial campaign, In
Peoria county, was found dead in bed
this morning. He has been an object
of investigation at the hands of the
states attorney, two banks, and his
congregation, on the gravest charges,
and it is presumed that it is case
OF suicide.
The body was found by his wife
when she called Simmons to breakfast.
The letter found beside him showed
death had been premeditated. He said
this was his last night on earth and he
wanted to leave a message of undying
love to all. In part, it said:
'Also no blame must attach to ex-
Governor Yates nor his associates. He
simply gave me an opportunity, which
his opponents and my enemies have
prevented my using"
The last line, '-That time fails me
should I attempt to write a personal
message" indicates he was dying as
he brought this letter to close. Three
physicians who were hastily summon
ed, are of the opinion his death was
caused by cyanide potassium. Coro-
ner Baker has taken charge Of the re-
mains, The Peoples Savings Bank, Of
which Simmons was president in the
workingmen's quarter Of the city, did
not open it's doors this morning. Cash
Ter Look said it would remain closed
until some future action was deter
mined ON. There was run on the
bank yesterday and this morning q
large crowd surrounded the building,
clamoring for their money.
The Interstate Savings Bank, Of
which Simmons was president up to
yesterday, when his resignation was
accepted, and e. C. Heidrich elected in
his stead, was also the object of runs
yesterday and today. Early this morn
ing the bank building was crowded
with depositors demanding their mon
ey. Cashier Anicker said they would
be able to stand the drain.
Simmons came to the First Baptist
church five years ago from Terre
Haute, Ind, and had been remarkably
successful He secured national pub
licity two years ago, by advocating a
dramatization of the life of Christ.
He became local manager Of the
senatorial campaign Of former Cover
nor Yates a week ago, and shortly af-
ter stories affecting his morals were
circulated. States Attorney Scholes
undertook an investigation yesterday
and secured some sensational confess
sions from boys Of his congregation

leaves widow.
