THIRTY DISCHARGED
Intoxieation Rules Of the Rock Island
Road Risidly Enforced and Employees
Who Disobey Lose Jobs.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa Falls, Nov. 27.-An example Of
the stringency Of the rule of the Rock
Island road relative to drinking by its
employees, has just been furnished in
the discharge Of thirty men in the
train service Of the Iowa division. The
superintendent, while in this city, was
asked relative to the matter, and stated
that the roads intoxication rules we're
the most stringent of all, and enforced
more rigidly than any other rule Of
the company 1.-The operation OF a
railroad demands strict temperance On
the part of all employees, and we can
not afford to take any chances with
men who drink. Whenever it comes to
the knowledge of my office that an
employe is drinking, he Is summarily
discharged. The rules do not require
that we have absolute evidence that
a man is drinking-the fact that he
frequents places where liquor is sold,
is sufficient grounds for his dismissal"

clusion that the deceased came to his
death by some means unknown. No
foul play of any kind is suspected.

CAUGHT IN BURNING cAsk.
Two Dubuque Men Almost Roasted t.
Death.

Dubuque, Nov. 27.-Anton Gloden, of
White street, and John Schwartz, of
Jackson street, employed at the Du-
buque Brewing Il Mailing company's
plant. were seriously burned when a
large cask in which they were at work
making repairs took fire and caught
them like rats in trap, with only a
small manhole thru which to crawl to
safety. Both men were so badly burned
that it was necessary to call physi-
clan to dress their injuries.
From what can be learned of the
accident the two men were at work
on the inside of the cask. They were
preparing it to be vanished and were
using one of those small lamps used
by painters in burning paint off. The
varnish which the men We're using
was warranted not to burn, it is said,
and for this reason they felt perfectly
safe in peeling it off with the lamp.
They had been working on the cask
for the entire afternoon and it was
lite when the accident happened.
