BOY PERISHES IN COLD.

The unusually severe weather of
last Monday night, January 8, claimed
as a victim Joe Tessman, 1%0-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. julius Tessman,
who reside on a reservation home
stead, Is miles north Of Poplar.
Mr.. Tessman and the boy came to
Poplar Monday and in the evening
started for home. After getting out
some distance they lost their way
and wandered over the prairie for
several hours. After midnight they
abandoned the sleigh and set out on
horseback. They continued in this
for some time until they came to a
gully about two miles from their
home. By that time the boy was suf-
fering so from the cold that the
father took him from the horse and
endeavored to keep him warm by
walking him up and down in the gulley
out of reach of the cold wind. I'm
able to continue walking, the boy laid
down and the father tried to keep the
blood circulating by rubbing the
limbs of the boy, but his efforts were
useless and about four o'clock the
boy expired. Mr.. Tessman suffered
greatly from the effects of the cold.
His hands and face were badly frozen
and most of his fingers are still
black to the second joint.-Poplar

IOWA WOULD Be MT
VERY HARD BY STRIKE.
More Than 100000 Men in This
State Would be Thrown Out of
Employment by Tie-up.

If the 100000 railroad employees
who voted to strike at the recent ref
erendum held by the various railroad
orders throughout the country,
would finally go on strike Iowa
would suffer greatly and business in
all lines would be seriously affected,
according to estimates made by state
officials at Des Moines.
The records of the railroad COM
mission show that at the present
time there are more than 5000 men
earning their daily bread on Iowa
railroads. In addition there are ap-
proximately $4,000 workmen whose
calling dovetails so closely with the
railroads that their activities must
of necessity cease when the railroads
cease operating, it was said.
In addition to the $4,000 men
credited to Iowa roads there are sew
eral thousand more who constitute a
sort of floating population who would
be thrown out of work by strike.
These men are engaged in interstate
commerce, and while they do not
have their homes in Iowa, the ma
jority spend great portion of their
time within it's borders.
The records of the railroad COM
mission show that Iowa railroad en-
ployes receive in wages $37,11O, O95
annually. Every day that railroad
strike tied up traffic it would cost
the employees in loss of wages ap-
proximately $124,000, it was stated.
The loss to other lines of business
cannot be estimated and no none
tary value can be put on the suffer
ing and discomfort that would be
caused in many sections, it was as
serted.
Comparatively few men in the
state capital would be effected by a
strike. Des Moines is not railroad

be experienced would be among 9TH
err classes of workmen At Valley
Junction, however, in the neighbor-
hood of 200 engineers would be
thrown out of work by a strike.
These men are employed on the So
called Iowa and Omaha divisions OF
the Chfchs6, ROCK Island and Pacific
railway, running respectively be-
tween Rock Island, ILL.,, and Des
Moines, and Des Moines and Omaha.
Railroad officials and the men
themselves estimate that an equal
number of conductors would be af-
fected, slightly greater number OF
firemen/ than either, and two and
one-half times as many brakemen.
In addition to these men engineers
