HOTEL YESTERDAY
Burlington Youth Went to Fort Mad.
ison and Blew Out His
Grains in Bed

Coroner Korschgen went to Fort
Madison this afternoon to hold an in.
quest over the remains OF young
man from Burlington who came down
to that place, took room at a hotel
and ended his life by shooting him
self in the temple with revolver.
The Burlington Hawk-Eye gives the
following particulars of the suicide:
telephone message from Fort
Madison at an early hour last evening
brought the sad news that Irwin Tim
hermann had been found dead in bed
at hotel there. The family were no
titled, and the father left for Fort
Madison on the next train to take
charge of the remains. The young
man arrived at the Waverly hotel at
Fort Madison about o'clock Friday
morning. There was nothing unusual
in his appearance He was well-dressed
and perfectly sober. He was given a
room and retired Immediately. Moth
ing was seen or heard of him until
1880 O'Clock last evening, when the
room was opened by an employe of
the hotel. The young man was found
dead and his body cold There was a
bullet hole behind the right ear. and
the revolver was found in the bed On
the dresser he had left note askin.y
that his father, William Zimmerman
OF No. 1006 South Central avenue

Irwin Zimmerman was born In this
city nineteen years ago, and had lived
here all his life. He was employed by
Petit & Brown, and was well-liked BY
his employers, who had quite recently

ing to do more for him in the near
future. He had many friends in the
city, who will be grieyed and shocked
by the, sad news. He was living with
his sister. Mrs. Hunger. on South
Thirteenth street. and had been at
home Thursday evening as usual
Nothing strange in his actions was
noted at the time. He changed clothes
and went away, and that was the last
that was seen of him there. 1t is
deemed quite likely that love affair
was the cause Of his unhappy deed.
Deceased is the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Zimmerman. The
father has long been engaged in the
butcher business on South Hill. and
is widely known. There are two
brothers and five sisters living who

Don't You Mind.


Trouble-don't you mind it, and don't
you mind the care.
Push EN- all behind you and dream
Of heavens fair.
The sorrows that, like shadows, come
falling cross the way
Will fade before the sunbeams anu
poisoning of May.
Don't you mind the thunder and SKIES
that threaten low;
Don't you mind the wind signs tha'
keep awaiting so; :,
For every sigh we hear, dear, there u
come a lifting tune
For every bit of trouble therell come
the smiles of June.
Don't you mind the grieving-grie'
must play its part;
Tears must blind the sigit, dear CIV
joy creeps in the heart. !,
Don't you mind the thistles that Wounu
the weary feet
We must know the bitter that we ina'

DENVER. COL. Nov. iS.-Almost
the entire time OF both sessions OF
the convention OF the American
Federation Of Labor today was de-
voted to listening TO the report OF
the committee OF adjustments. A
score OF jurisdic,!onai disputes were
considered, and IN most cases the
disputes were referred to the execu-
tive council or to the contending un-
iCns.
Several sections of the report were
discussed at length. but in each case
the recommendations Of the commit
tee were adopted In the case OF the
dispute between the brewery workers
and the steam engineers the commit
tee reported that an agreement had
been reached between the two I'M
tons.
The discussion OF the contest be-
tween the brewery workers and the
teamsters union. caused ono CT the
most extended debates of the day.
The committee recommended that the
brewery workers have sole jurisdic-
ton over transfers working in brew
cries.

dation.: and declared in effect that the
teamsters would withdraw from the
