MISTAKE; IS DEAD
Riyerton Farmer Dies Shortly A.
ter Drinking Poison, Think
ing it Medicine.

Council Bluffs, Jan. 29.-Martin
Gardner, a well-to-do farmer living
near Riverton, died from poisoning
resulting from swallowing large
dose of carbolic acid by mistake.
Gardner suffered from occasional at
lacks of neuralgia of the stomach
and had a bottle of medicine which
he resorted to whenever he felt
these attacks coming on.
This bottle had been placed in
the medicine chest by the side Of
the bottle of acid and in the early
morning light, when Gardner went
to the bath room to get dose of
his medicine he was sure he would
not make any mistake and did not
turn on the light. He got the
wrong bottle and took two good
swallows of the acid before he dis
covered his error when he fastened
to his wife and told her of what
happened.
Mrs. Gardner secured jug Of

Fort Madison, Ia, Jan. 80
William F. PEBBLES, serving five
year sentence from Woodbury. coun-
ty for arson, made peculiar and
unsuccessful attempt to escape from
the penitentiary yesterday. He sue
ceeded in getting two blocks away
before he was apprehended.
His attempt was in some ways
amusing. He is ordinarily employed
about the old cell house, which is
near the front gates. Watching his
chance, he followed a wagon out
the big iron doors, depositing with
the tower guard pass which he
had written and which read:
Deputy. PEBBLES, 1037S, wants
to bid Mrs. Sanders goodby and to
get an armful of straw at the barn
to pack his things. He goes home
on parole tonight. Armstrong,

The tower guard caught the for

perhaps a hundred yards away be-
fore he had hoisted and read the
note. Luckily two guards happened

New York, Jan. 30.-The policies
and purposes of the $100,000,000
Rockefeller foundation and the re-
cent utterances on the witness
stand of John D.. Rockefeller, Jr.,
were vigorously assailed yesterday
by John r. Lawson, member OF

which includes Colorado, when he
appeared as a representative of the
coal miners at the hearing being
conducted by the federal commits

Among other things Lawson as
serted "a skillful attempt is being
made to substitute philanthropy for
Justice"
To the philanthropy Of the Rock
efellers, Lawson referred as follows:
Health for China, a refuge for
birds, food for the Belgians, PEN

sity training for the elect-and new

WHO'S GETTING THE MONEY?
Rage for Speculation Has Drawn in
All Glasses Coterie of
Plungers Ahead of Game.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Wheat sold for
more than $3.50 bushel yesterday.
Not since Joseph Letters famous
attempted corner sent it up to $1.S5.
16 years ago, has such a price been
quoted. Not since civil war times
have such prices prevailed on the
grain market at this time of the
year.
More money than ever before IN
the history of the middle west is
being poured into the grain belt In
payment for crops, presaging a stim-
ulation of business and trade in ev-
cry line. Every one connected with
the grain trade is asking the ques-
ton:
who is getting the money!"
The usual answer is that every
one who has handled wheat during
the last few months, from the farm
er to the exporter and European
grain speculator, has filled his pock7
cts. But among the dealers there
are rumors of killings" uneQualed
since the heydays of B. P. Hutchin-
son or Joseph Letter. And oddly
enough, the most persistent rumor
has to do with Joe" Letter himself.
Has Letter come back?"
1t is common talk on the Board
of Trade that he has. 1t is said
that Letter foresaw the sudden up
turn of the market on account of the
European war, and jumped in and
bought heavily while wheat was sell
ling around SIPS. His. profits alone
are estimated in Board of Trade talk
at close to 100000.
And there are lots of other re-
ported killings" Men, who usual
ly dabble in other investments, have
returned to the wheat market. Ev-
en- the farmers who have sold their
crop, it is said, are buying up the
crops of Others for speculative pull
poses.
c. B. Livermore, New York
stock trader, who is credited with
having made several fortunes in
stocks, has been heavy trader in
wheat and has made big winnings
on the longside of the market. c..
w. Partridge, the State street
merchant, also is said to have peck
eted a good sized fortune, and A.
J. Lichstern is said to have taken
down large profits from time to
time John Barrett, of Chicago, is
another trader who sold big line
of long wheat.
Individual winnings running from
$4,000 to 100000 are credited to
a coterie of Omaha traders who are
said to have made millions in the
aggregate.
Nor has wheat been the only
grain to bring tidy profits. May
corn touched the high price of the
year during the day at S2Ac and
May oats reached 59Bc. In the re-
cent advance of oats John Scoville,
a local trader, Is credited with max
ing a cleanup as a result of his op-
erations.
One of the leading elevator men
of Chicago, who says farmers hold
the key to the situation, asserts
May wheat will sell at $1.75 a bush
ell. And the farmer is refusing to
sell; at least this is the tendency.

Manus, Miss Eva j. Stevens, principal
of Wells school. Truant Officer Glas-
coff, and several other parties con-
cerned, it was decided that instead
OF sending young Wilson to the reform
school, that his adenoids and tonsils
should be cut out.
1t is believed that the adenoidal

been the cause of much of young Will

England seeking investment in other

the socalled lack of enterprise on the
part OF English manufacturers in not
extending or undermining their plants
more extensively.
Every concession asked of labor by
the British government in this war
has been viewed with suspicion by the
laboring men, for it is suspected that
it will be difficult to restore former
conditions when the war is over Many
concessions to the urgent need of the
hour have been made by British labor
and many. more will have to be made
These will be brought about all the
more readily now that the government
Is taxing war profits" fifty per cent
At the close of the war this same
class of British employers who have
brought about the present state Of
antagonism between capital and labor
will be 10th to give up the advantage
the war has given them. 1t Is be-
lieved by many therefor that the in
dustrial situation in England after the
war will be serious because OF the
foundations now being laid for future
disagreements.
The organization Of industry in
England made necessary by this war
has brought out a lot of information
as to the relations of the skilled
workman to his job which was I'M
known or at least the Importance Of
which was not realized by the average
Englishman and 1t has, generally
speaking, come as an unpleasant sur
prise to the British public. Restric-
tion of output has become such an
integral part of the British working
mans creed that he gives 1t up with
reluctance and difficulty even when
he knows that the safety of his coun-
try depends upon his doing all he can
regardless of such union rules as were
established in times when the only
war was between the employer and
the employed. conflict which never
ends in the British industrial world.
This antagonism has it's foundations
in the class distinctions which have
held for SO many generations and it
must be regarded as symtomatic of
the rise Of democracy rather than as a
fault of the British labOrer no matter
how crude the manifestation or incon-
.venient the effect. 1t is blind and

rights Of man the real meaning of
