porlant Matters Arc to Be
Considered.
According to the call of President A. L.
Urlck, the convention of the Iowa State
Federation of Labor, to be held In this
city, beginning- May 9, promises to be the
most important gathering in the history
of the organisation. The convention, which
will be the thirteenth annual meeting of
the state federation, is expected to be a
record breaker also in the point of attend
ance and representative union men from
all parts of the state wilt be here.
In his call President Urlck calls attention
to the fact that the trade union movement
In Iowa is at present in a position to make
the most material growth In Its history
and he urges local organisations to send
their most able men as delegates in order
that the present favorable opportunities
may be taken advantage of. It is under
stood that whatever plans the federation
deelrea to formulate along legislative lines
will be discussed and outlined at this meet
ing. This explains the reason why Presi
dent Urlck Is anxious that the local or-
ganlxatlons represented In the state body
send their most able men to the conven
tion.

Doyle-Barns Case Is Monotonous t'n

The trial of the Doyle-Bums suit in the
district court yesterday waa lacking of In
terest, as the entire day wan occupied In
the reading of evidence from the transcript
of the former trial and there waa not even
a motion or other Interruption to break the
monotony. The dullness of having to listen
hour after hour to the reading from the
transcript told on the members of the Jury
and several had a hard time keeping from
falling aaleep.
The testimony of six witnesses was read
complete and part of that of the seventh

witnesses whose former evidence was read
were J. E. Crispin, Charles Bovard, Grant
Allsbury, E. I. Jones, O. O. Henderson, R.
L. Wash, W. B. Osborn.
J. E. Crispin testified as follows:
I lived In a canln about no feet from that
of Burns and Doyle. One day In June,

of the claims now In controversy, the Tidal

the former owner had not done the full as
sessment work, sinking the shaft ten fept,
and they asked us to assist In measuring
the depth of that shsft. . They had brokon
ground for a new shaft, and there was a
new stake there. On the stake I saw the
words, "Tidal Wave, James Burns and
James Doyre." .
His testimony waa corroborated by Alls
bury. Charles Bovard's testimony was to the
effect that he saw the names of both Doyle
and Burns on the Tidal Wave claim stake.

For Anti-Pass Bill.
Governor Cummins will use his Influence
to secure an anti-puss bill at the next
general assembly in addition to a state
wide primary election law. Since his re
turn from Washington he has stated that
he believed the two measures to be the
most important In the state. At past ses
sions of the general assembly Senator John
Hughes of Williamsburg haa presented
anti-pass bills which have been taken In
not a very serious way. The measure will,
however, be presented as one of the most
important measures at the session of the
seneral assembly in 1606.
Peaches Are Injured,
There will be very few peaches In Iowa
this year as a result of the severe winter
that the state has gone through and very
few plums. Reports have been coming In
from over the state to the state horticul
turist Indicating that the apple and berry
crop will be all right. The strawberries
and raspberries were covered with snow
und protected and are In good shape. The
peach trees were not Injured, but the buds
to a large extent have been killed. '

Blames Hull nnd Shaw.
Governor Cummins on his return from
Wattiington today stated that the secretary
of the treasury and Congressman Hull were
tesponsible for the appointment of George
L, Dobson as consul to Nottingham, Eng
land. The appointment, which seemed to
be a surprise to Senator Allison and otfiers
of the Iowa delegation, has caused con
siderable discussion over the state and does
not meet with favor with the Cummins
men of the state.

PRAYERS FROM SLOT MACHINE
Bemnrknhle Curiosity Discovered nt
Thibetan Shrine by a
Soldier.
A British soldier connected with the re
cent punttlve expedition to Lhassa dis
covered before a shrine In that sacred city
of the Buddhists a singular devlde, which
he exultantly exhibited to his comrades
as a proof of Solomon's assertion that there
Is nothing new under the sun, a concrete
refutation of the boast that the "drop a
penny In the slot and get any old thing"
machine la not the modern invention it is
generally supposed to be.
The device he found ' In operation waa
nothing less than a prayer wheel with a
crude automatlo attachment which enabled
a person to put a small coin In an ap
pointed place and the wheel would deliver
a special prayer from the Deity, a slip
of paper of guaranteed efficacy In secur
ing the Intercession of the god In his
mundane troubles If the buyer offered It
up In tha usuaTmanner and In proper hu
mility. The soldier's companions would
not accept the automatic drop a coin in
the slot prayer wheel as proof of his
assertion, claiming that Wis Idea might
have been obtained from India by some
Thibetan monk, who perchance had strayed
thus far afield.
The soldier investigated as to the possible
origin of the queer prayer wheel, but
could get little Information, save that such
things had been In use for many centuries,
so many that history did not tell of their
beginning. There the soldier rested his
case, but the facts he brought back with
him make another historical truth doubly
interesting.
The modern idea embodied In automatic
devices Is not modern In its fundamental
basic principle at all, a Greek, Hero of
Alexandria, having Invented a similar ma
chine about the year 90 B. C. It was not
used for commercial purposes, however, but
was employed In the temples to enable
devotees to secure small quantities of a
certain wine used In the sacrifices. Theve
not, royal librarian' to Louis XIV of
France, discovered an account of this con
trivance in some ancient Greek works In
his master's library Snd published a trans
lation of It.
According to this the machine contained
a vase within a vase, the Inner receptacle
rilled with wine.- A small rod swinging
on an axle attached to the Inner side of
the large vase closed an orifice In the
wine receptacle with a flat disk. A slot
In the top of the outer vase waa pro
vided for the coins of a specific weight
and these were carried directly to the rod
by a narrow metal chamber.
The weight of the coin on the rod re
leased the disk, permitting a small quan
tity of the wine to escape in the waiting
cup beneath until the coin fell from Its
uneasy balance, when the disk swung
back Into place. The Interesting connec
tion between this and the automatic prayer
wheel In Lhassa Is that the latter Is con
trolled by a mechanical device exactly
similar In every respect to the Greek In
vention of Hero, save that It discharges
a paper prayer instead of wine. St. Louis

DENN1S0N TO GO TO TRIAL
Judjrs at Logta Overrules Motions to
Quash Indictments in Cue.
DEFENSE HAS UNTIL APRIL TO PLEAD
At that Time a Motion for
Chan f Venue Will Be
Made by His At
torneys. LOGAN, Ia., March 10.-(Specal.) The
court overruled the motions In the case of
Tom Dennlson this morning and the caso
will come up for trial on Its merits at the
April term of court.
In the hearing of testimony County At
torney Fallon swore that before he sum
moned witnesses In the case outside parties
had placed In his hands money for the
purpose of paying the expenses and that
the case would not have been Investigated
had this not been done.
At the conclusion of argument the judge
held that, admitting the facts as shown,
the Influence upon the grand Jury was not
sufficient to cause the quashing of the In
dictment and overruled the motion of the
defendant.
The defendant was given until the first
day of the April term. April 11. to file
answer to the Indictments. At that time
motion for change of venue will be made.
The case will be carried to the supreme
court In case of the conviction of the de
fendant, as the defense has preserved ex
ceptions to the ruling of the Judge on the
motions.
EXTRAORDINARY POKER HAND
Two Players Held Fours nnd Went
Out to Borrow Money on
Their Hnnds.
A select few of the Brooklynltee who oc
casionally Indulge In a game of poker are
still telling of a remarkable game they
witnessed recently which was the most ex
citing they hal ever Indulged In. The
game as It la told puts some of the tales
told of Mississippi steamboat games In the
hade. Among the players who sat In
this game were two men who are Iron
workers and were employed In erecting the
steel work of the Williamsburg bridge.
They are both known to possess a great
amount of nerve, which they freely ex
hibited when it came .to playing their re
spective hands. The limit was 81 and tha
game proceeded until the stage where the
Incident recorded took place. When the
two Iron workers glanced over their cards
one discovered that His hand contained
four kings, while the othrfr found .four
aces. Another player held a four flush,
while another had two pair. There was an
immediate raise on the part of the first Iron
worker after the mai on his right an
nounced his Intention of playing. When
It reached his friend he gave It another
raise and so it went around the table a
number Of times until two of the players
dropped out. The remaining plnyers each
drew one card after the betting had ceased
before the draw. The man holding the
flush filled, while the man with the two
pair drew a card which gave him a full
hours. Then the betting began and con
tinued until first one man and then the
other dropped out, leaving the two iron
workers betting back and forth and re
fusing to call. They continued to bet until
their laBt dollar was laid on the pile of
chips in the center of the table. Each
allowed the other to go shy and the money
was bet over again and still each refused
to call the other. Both declared their In
tention of holding out, and after a con
ference It was - agreed between them to
suspend the garde until each went out
among friends to borrow as much as pos
sible. The cards on the table were then
gathered together and placed in the paste
board cover and carefully sealed, while
each one of the Iron workers took his hand
and placed It In his pocket. Accompanied
by a friend each went in different direc
tions in Search of funds. Each visited a
saloon keeper where the circumstance was
explained and the cards were exhibited.
Loans were procured and each returned to
proceed with the game, which was brought
to a close by the man with the four aes
calling his opponent with the last of the
860 he hsd borrowed. Brooklyn Eagle.
SOME DIVORCES InTnGLAND
rirnres thnt Shew They Are Quite
as Numerous ns la This
Country. .
Society In England Is notoriously con
servative, and yet the growth of divorce In
this country has been almost alarmingly
progressive. Many of us may not remem
ber the agitation which preceded the legis
lation making divorce no longer an ec
clesiastical matter, but the prophecies of
evil which were launched at the unfortu
nate bill thnt became an operative act in
185S have fallen far short of what haa
proved to he th actual result.
Prweedlngs In the divorce court have
gone up with more than the proverbial leaps
snd bounds, says a writer In the London
Express. In the first five years of the
working of the act the petitions tor the
dissolution of marriage averaged JM 5 a
year; In the last five recorded years they
averaged close upon 800 per annum. That,
of course, Is the tremendous Increase of
300 per cent.
Nor has It been a growth by fits and
starts and the maximum reached by an ex
ceptional series of circumstances. On the
contrary. It has been a steady and con
tinuous upward movement. How steadily
progressive. Indeed, I enn best show, I
think, by setting out the figures In the fol
lowing table:
Annual
Periods of five years. Averape.
1W-fil (four years only)
1IW7-71 IM.O
1ST7-S1 49J
1SS7-9I
1S7-1901 m.t
To carry the figures on to a more recent
date. I may say lhat In 1M1 there were 750
and In 1902 as many as 8K9 petitions for dis
solution of marriage, while In the latter
year the suits for the various remedies and
means of relief provided by the divorce
court totalled up to 1,060.
Nor Is it the divorce court alone which
terminates the marriage relationship In this
country. For the power of decreeing a
judicial separation (which, by the way, has
become rather unpopular In the . divorce
court) has In recent years been extended to
courts of summary Jurisdiction with ex
traordinary results. Since 1R95 a stipendiary
at a police court or any two of the "great
unpaid" magistrates In petty sessions may
make a separation order. The result will
be beet shown by the following figures:
Judicial Sepnrstlona
by Magistrates.
1W3 , 8-'5
lfnio 6.fi''-l
1902 7.477
And close upon 9,000 last year.
Now, if I add to the 9,000 judicial separa
tions by magistrates the number of cases
In the divorce court, I have a total today of
about 10,000 legal dissolutions .or suspen
sions of the marriage tie practically, of
course, 10,000 dissolutions of mrirrlage.
And, further, if I compare these figures
with those which are available from Amer
icadetailed statistics of recent years have
not been taken In the United States I find
thnt we have almost reached their unen
viable level. For during the laat thirty-,
four years there have been no fewer than
700,000 divorces In the United States; and
taking our 10,000 dissolutions and separa
tions for the last year, and allowing for the
fact that our population Is about one-half
of theirs, I arrive at the fact that per lOti of
population our divorce and separation fig
ures are as numerous as theirs. New Yorlt

Exploiting; the Shark.
Economically there are numbers of aiod
things to be said about the shark to bal
ance the reproaches It commonly gets In
such abundance. Its fins make an edible
Jelly which Is a rnre table luxury, espe
cially among the Orientals; Its' liver sup
piles useful oil for machinery; Its skin
can be turned Into leather equnl to that
of the alligator: Its backbone furnishes
fine walking sticks, and from Its teeth and
Jawbones numerous fanciful and useful
articles are fabricated. A company has
been formed to exploit the shark commer
cially, and will probably run Into a shark
trust and grinding monopoly one of these
days, calling for legislative Interference.
New York Tribune.
The Clock Stopped Short.
Until the first week In January the only
railroad reaching Sharpsvllle, Tipton
county, Indiana, was a branch of the Lake
Erie A Western. For a quarter of a cen
tury the 'old clock on the railroad station
wall had been the town timepiece and
never failed in the performance of Its duty.
The electric line from Tipton to Kokomo
wus completed .that week, and the first
electrio car to reach Sharpsvllle arrived at
10:43 a. m. There was a celebration over
the event, the president of the company
announcing that the people of Sharpsvllle
should have an hourly service Instead of
the one train each way a day as given by
the Lake Erie St Western
Even Station Agent Adams of the Lake
Erie & Western waa not able to resist the
genersl contagion, notwithstanding that
the electrio road was a rival of -the steam
road, and he went up to witness the In
coming of the car and remained to hear the
speeches. When he returned to the station
and looked at the clock It registered 10:48.
He busied himself about his duties and
when he began to be hungry he looked up
at the clock again. Tha hands still Indi
cated 10:43. He moved them up at a guess,
went to his dinner 'and when the evening
train pulled . in got the correct time from
the conductor and set the old clock.
When he reached the station the next
morning and looked up at the clock ha was
surprised to find that the bands Indicated
10:43. He gave It a start, setting It by
guess, 1 and along about noon glanced at
It again only to find that It had stopped
again at 10 43.
And beyond this It has not since moved
without the friendly help of the station
keeper. It positively refused to run over
the hour at which Its rival first reached the
town.
"I believe that clock resents the coming
of that electric line," Adams said, "for It
never acted lhat way before. Funny, ain't 1
It?" , i 1
