Mrs. Saunders arose during the night to

plained of feeling 111. Coloaet Saunders
was awakened and attempted to follow his
wife to (be children's room, but fell. Feel
ing the air close and stifling, he struggled
to the kitchen door and succeeded In open
ing It, but collapsed again and fell on the
floor. He remembered nothing more until
ho found himself on the lounge In the sitting

DOYLE GAINS MORE POINTS
Scores Attain In the- Ilnllng of Court
on ills Celebrated MinltiK
Case,
Jimmy Doyle, as ho Is familiarly known
all over the state of Colorado, came out
on top In a number nt rounds yesterday
In his famous mining suit against James
F. Burns, president of the Portland Gold
Mining company.
In the first place, he filed an amendment
to bis original petition to conform to tho
proof, and this the defense moved to strike
out, but was overruled by Judge Macy.
This was victory No. I for Uoylo.
Then the defense moved to transfer tho
cose to the equity docket, on the grounds
that the amendment changed the cause of
action and made It one of equity Instead
of law. This the court also overruled and
Doyle scored victory' No. 3.
Then tho defense .filed a motion for n
continuance, contending that It was un
prepared to meet at this time the now
Issues alleged to be set up In the amend
ment. Plaintiff's counsel asked for time
to make a showing In resistance to tho
motion for continuance. This was grunted
and Judge Macy at 4 olclock adjourned
court until this morning at f o'clock when
the plaintiff will be given an oppojtunlt)
to ranko his showing In resistance lo a
continuance of the caso. The Jury wax
ex:used until 9:30 o'clock this morning,
No evidence was taken yesterday and tho'
entire day was consumed In the arguments
on the several motions.
The proceedings during tho afternoon
wore enlivened by a tilt between Senator
Tattcrson and John N. Baldwin, which
brought forth a sharp rebuke from Jadgij
Mary. It occurred when Senator Patter
son opened his nrgument In support of the
motion to strike out the amendment. Mr.
Baldwin having Just closed his argument.
The Bcnator from Colorado accused Mr.
Baldwin of hurling anathemas against
counsel on the other side and the de
fondant and of being lacking In thai
courtesy due from one attorney to an
other. Mr. Baldwin replied to tho accusation
and referred Mr. Patterson to a. certain
remark ho had mada In the morning. This
made the senator wroth and, bringing his
fist down with considerable forco on the
table, he told Mr. Baldwin that he could
not bulldoze him and (hat he (Mr. Baldwin)
might as well realize that now as later on.
At this point Judge Macy Interfered In the
tilt.
"Stop, now, Mr.- Patterson, I cannot per
mit this. There will be two attorneys
less In connection with this case If you
gentlemen do not atop right now. Senator
Patterson, you .will be accorded fair, .treat
ment, nnd this case -will be conducted Im
partially by me, but when I call you gen
tlemen to order you must understand that
I menn what I say. We will now proceed
with the 'case, without any more of these
scenes, please."
The warning of the court had Its effect
and the rest of the afternoon was free
from any trouble between the two eminent
attorneys.
On the convening of court counsel for
Doyle filed an amendment to their original
petition without waiting o lake any fur
ther evidence. Tho defense claimed that
the action of the plaintiff came as a sur
prise and asked for time to meet the new
allegations In thn amendment and Judgo
Macy adjourned court until the afternoon
In compliance with the request.
The amendment alleged that the agree
ment between the plaintiff and Burns was
made solely for tho purpose of prospecting
for, locating and developing mining claims
upon the public domain in the Crlpplo
Creek mining district, then situated In El
Paso and Fremont counties, for their Joint
benefit and that it provided solely for the
discovery and location and completion of
mining claims nnd the acquisition
of Interests therein as the result of
labor and expenditures of the plaintiff and
defendant, In and upon claims the location
of which had been initiated, but not com
pleted; that none of the mining claims
referred to were at the time of the agree
ment perfected or completed lode mining
claim locations, but that' each and every
one thereof was perfected under this agree
ment by the labor and expenditures of both
the plaintiff and the defendant; that In
accordance with this agreement the plain
tiff performed labor, rendered services and
furnished supplies and money for and upon
every one of the claims referred to and
Cut Prices
on Millinery
PENNELL MILLINERY,
w Ml BrMtlwar, Council Blu4a
that by their Joint efforts and expenditures
for their Joint Interests perfected tho title
thereto; that plaintiff and defendant ceased
to prospect and to make locations of
claims after September 6, 1892, but contin
ued tho development and Improvement of
these claims until the same were patented
and conveyed to tho Portland Gold Mining
company.
The amendment as explained by counsel
restricted the agreement or contract be
tween Doyle and Burns so far as It re
lated only to the Bobtail No. 2, Tidal Wave
and Devil's Own claims.
Counsel for Burns moved to strike out
the amendment on the grounds that It
created a new cnuse of action, that It set
forth whet was In fact a grubstake con
tract, that It changed the Issues nnd that
tho plaintiff should not now be permitted
to set forth another alleged agreement, but
should be compelled to stand or fall by
the agreement as originally set forth In
bis petition.
This motion was overruled by JudEO
Macy after several hours had been con
sumed In arguments. The defense then j
moved to have the case transferred from
the law to the equity docket on the
grounds that the cause of action had been
changed by the amendment and that tho
proper procedure for the plaintiff was to
apply for an accounting between Burns and
him, which would belong to n court of
equity. This motion was nlso overruled
by Judgo Macy and then the defenso filed
a motion for a contlnuanco on the grounds
that the averments of tho nmendmcnt had
taken Burns by surprise and he had In no
manner beforo coming to Council Bluffs
for tho trial of this caso taken adequate
or any steps to dlsputo these avermcn
At this point Judgo Macy ndjourneil
court until this morning, to give counsel
for the plaintiff tlmo to make a showing In
reslstcnco to the motion for a continu
ance. Tho contention of counsel for Doyle was 1
that tho amendment did not change tho
character of the agreement as originally
relied upon, but simply restricted tho terri
tory. FALLS FROMJDAR TO DEATH

SUPREME COURT REVERSES MURDER CASE
St. Louis Fair Commission Ai'tltr
Small Attendance at Carnlvnl
Tcmiiernnce Women
Elect.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 9. (Special.) The
recommendation of the state labor commls
sloner of Iowa, In his biennial report filed
today, that the law prohibiting child labor
In mines be extended to all factories and
that tho limit bo raised from 12 to 14
years, discloses the fact that Iowa Is far
behind tho majority of states In this re
spect. Employment of children under 12 Is for
bidden In mines In Iowa, but manufacturers
last year voluntarily reported to the labor
commissioner the employment of 403 chil
dren under 14 years of age, nud Investiga
tion showed 604 In fact, while the actual
number Is doubtless much larger. There
Is no Inw against It In Iowa. Commissioner
Wennestrum, In his ninth biennial report
of the bureau, recommends that the legisla
ture give this matter attention. In view of
tho growing numbers of factories In Iowa.
There are. In fact, 14,819 manufacturing
establishments tn Iowa cities and towns,
with 68,553 persons employed. The cap'.
Hal employed amounts to $102,773,103, the
wages paid In 1899 were $23,931,680, and the
products turned out last year wero worth
$164,617,877. Tho commissioner, or his as
sistant, inspected 328 factories to determine
their condition.
Aside from the disclosure of the employ
ment of child labor In the factories, It waa
found that very many aro In bad condl
tlon. Fire escapes were found on only
twenty factories of 290 that were more
than one story high. Dangerous machinery
was found in many. Tho sanitary condi
tion of the factories was found to be, on
the whole, satisfactory, but In mnny It
was dangerous and In sevcrnl positively
Intolerable.
The commissioner recommends that a
system of factory Inspection be established
for tho stato. which ought not to be ob
jected to by the owners, becauRo factory
inspection decreases damage suits for per
sonal Injury. In regard to heating and
ventilation, the largo factories are better
than the small ones.
Statistics regarding strikes and labor
unions arc given; also statistics regarding
several now Industries, such as flax tow
making for upholstering nnd beet sugar
culture. Tho report Includes nlso several
valuablo papers read nt tho last national
meeting of iabor commissioners, an article
by Mrs. Shambaugh of Iowa City on the
social and economic phases of tho Amann
society In Iowa, an article on free employ
ment agencies In tho United States by Miss
Kate B. Miller of Indlanola and an artlclo
on the Icarlan society, now, extinct.
The commissioner recommends larger ap

Preparing for St. Louis llxtoslllon
The commission Informally appointed by
Governor Shaw to tako preliminary steps
toward having Iowa represented at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis1 met today, these boing present:
Lieutenant Governor J. C. Mllllraan, Logtu;
Senator A. B. Funk, Spirit Lake; Judge Wll
llam Logan, Keokuk; Robert II. Moore, Ot
tumwa; Senator C. J. A. Erlcson. Boono;
L. Young, Dos Moines; Senator William H.
Berry, Indlanola; Jerry Hartenbowor.
mayor of Des Moines; ox-Representatlvo
Davo Brant, Clinton; S, M. Leach. Add:
W. T. Haywood, Des Moines, and S. II.
Evans, Ottumna.
F. J. Skiff of St. Louts, explained the
preliminaries of the exposition and gnve the
commission an outline of what was planned.
The commission has no authority and can
only make recommendations to tho legisla
ture, but It was informally decided that
tho commission would have, plans prepared
for an Iowa building and an Iowa exhibit
and that the legislature should be asked
for on appropriation variously estimated at
from $100,000 to $200,000.
All members expressed themselves heart
ily In favor of Iowa being represented at
St. Louis and In favor of urging the legis
lature to make the appropriation. Tho
belief Is general that the legislature will
bo more liberal than before. When the
appropriation of $55,000 was made for the
Transmlsstsslppl exposition Iowa was al
ready lit debt beyond the constitutional
limit and when the appropriation of $125.
000 was made for the Columbian exposition
at Chicago, the state's funds were very low.
Now that the state treasury Is well filled
and there Is no debt the commission will
formulate plans and undertake to aecure
the appropriation.
Des Moines Man Missing.
J, W. Canney, a tinner, has disappeared.
Fears are entertained that he has been mur
dered. He was known to have had about
$200 on his person.. Canney drove to the city
early last evening to meet his wife and
slater, who were returning1 from a visit at
Oaceola. The trio remained down town' un
til about 9 o'clock. Returning home the
two women went Into the house and Canney
remained at the stable to attend to the
horse. Ho secured a lantern to go to the
haymow and his wife and sister waited a
half hour. As ho failed to appear they wont
to the barn, where thoy saw the lantern In
the stall. They found his hat on the floor
and bis pocketbaok In the alley. A little
way from the barn they found a bunch of
keys that he had carried. Search was con
ttnued all night without avail.

.o Crnvrdn nt Carnival.
Tho feature Jt the Des Moines carnival
this year is that thcro are practically no
crowds from outside the city and that the
chief support of the various eldeshows In
connection with It Is coming from tho resi
dents nt Des Moines, Tho fact that white
thero are a few street shows that are free,
nearly alt tho shows charge an admission
fee and tu the case of the show of horses
the prices nro regarded as exorbitant, has
got out and tho result Is that tho carnival
ns a wholo Is attracting such stnnll crowds
that tho local committee Is already trying
to figure up how much of a deficit It will
havo to face.
Tho wild west show Is on the state fair
grounds, which nro threo tulles east of the
bUHlnere center of tbo city, and the attend
ance has been light. A midway has been
granted use of the river front and there Is
an admission fee Into the corral nnd Into
each of the sideshows separately and one
must pay for a sout aftcrwnrds. The borao
show commenced this evening at the ball
park. An unusually fine lot of horses have
been entered In the various classes and
quite a number of horses havo been brought
hero from other cities. The show will bo
lfeld each evening during the week at the
base bull park.
