ittfe Martha Uphaus Swallowed Four Tablets and Some Hours Afterward Died In Convulsions.
WAS THE DAUGHTER OF. BENJ. UPHAUS.
Medicine Had Been Given the Child's Mother and Was Taken by the Child Through Curiosity. Little Martha Uphaus is dead at the liome of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. lienj. Uphaus, 1M Pearl street, as the result of taking four patent medicine cough tablets, each containing a quarter grain of morphine, Sunday evening about 7 o'clock. The baby was only two and a half years old and the pet of the neighborhood. Mrs. Uphaus has been suffering from a severe cough tb.3 past few days and Sunday the attending physician gave her some cougii
tablets. After taking one Mrs. Uphaus put the other tablets on a dresser in her bed room. Little Martha was extremely fond of taking medicine and Sunday evening while her mother was in another room the child entered the bedroom, pulled a chair tip to the dresser, which she climbed upon. Seeing the tablets she immediately swallowed
four of them and then walked to the i
living room where Mrs. Uphaus was talking to some neighbors. "Use eat some medicine," liyed thi child, then walked to a couch to lie down; It was noticed" that the child looked ill and the mother immediately took little Martha in her arms. "Whv, she is very sick," remarked Mrs. Uphaus "to her friends, and then almost immediately Mrs. Uphaus groaned, "Oa my baby is dying." Died in Convulsions. Dr. S. Edgar Bond, who lives near the Uphaus home, was immediately summoned, but before his arrival neighbors had placed little Martha in hot water and forced her to drink milk. When Dr. Bond arrived he found the child unconscious. Heroic treatment was given the baby in the hope of staving off the effects of the deadly dings, but about midnight th2 child died in convulsions. j

by the wabbles of the visitors. Eight runs trickled in and Mr. Plummer had the distinction of making two hits in
one inning. in tne iniru. two niTs,
two errors and two bases on balls netted four more runs for the locals. Mr. Burgess, the Muncie slant server, tight

Quakers down in a commendable manlier. He pitched a most erratic gamy. The beating he received the first inning was primarily due to the rain as he had no control over the slippery

Miss Sands is the second contestant to cross the 100,000 mark, her total vote having gone to 102,095, in Monday's voting. The voting has started off fairly heavy for the first of the week and doubtless before the end of the week another record will have been established. This is the next to last week of the contest and not very much time is now left for the con
testants to get votes although a little hustle will still do wonders. Several other contestants have moved up to within striking distance of the coveted 100,000 mark and will cross it before the week is out. Next week the contestants enter ou the "home stretch" week and it is going to be nip and tuck as to who will win.

Thirteen plumbers of Richmond, h11 of wham have been connected with three of the largest plunibins houses in the city, nameiy Charles Johannlng, H. H. Meerhoff and the Craighead Plumbing company, are out on a strike on account of wage troubles, anfl state that they will not go back until their demands have been met by; the master plumbers affected. In the meantime the few men remaining at the different establishments wli! b rushed to keep tip with the work now contracted for. The whole trouble originated, it seems, with an attempt on the part of the plumbers of the city to organize a union. Through this union the plumbers are asking a substantial increase in wages, and in order not t
! recognize the union and keep their
shops open, the master plumbers hava refused to grant the Increase. Two Attempts for Increase. The union of plumbers has mada two attempts to secure an Increase. It was decided sometime ago among them, that wages from $1.75 to $3.00 per day, on a straight ten-hour schedule was not enough, as they had to purchase their own tools, kits of w-hich costs all the way from $75 to $123, and 'they felt that they were not' drawing enough money for their work and capital invested. It was decided then to form a union among the Richmond plumbers, and ask for an increase in wages. After this was done petitions were printed and sent" to all the master plumbers of the city. WilliarM Waking and Noah Johnson recognized the. union, and signed the contracts calling for a ninf-hour work day with ten hour pay. As the union is new it was decided l3 the men not to make any new ncale of wages but simply ask for a nine-hour day, with an extra hour pay, letting the present Ecale stand as it Is at the present time. The present average for plumbers in Richmond is 25 cents an hour while the local employes claim that plumbers in other cities average considerably more than this, maintaining that, Richmond p'urnbers are the lowest paid in this section of the eountrj'. Settlement Not in Sight. At present it looks as though there would be no immediate sell lenient of the trouble, as both the employers and. employes state that they will maintain
a 'stiff upper Hp." The employes ttato
that they will not go back till tho wage increase contracts are signed while the employers maintain that under no circumstances will they sign
the contracts thereby recognizing t ho union, all desiring to kep their shops open. One master plumber has stated that he will grant the men the rinehour day schedule, but under no circumstances will he sign the contract. The two other plumbing houses refuse to recognize' the contracts or demands at the present time in any Ebape or form. - Exhibit Determination. One of the strikers said that tTie thirteen men now out would go to work on the streets before they would resume work with unsigned contracts, while one of the master plumbers stated that he was rather old but at the same time be would don overalls and
go to work himself on the different jobs, unless the men did not come back of their own accord. Neither of the affected houses is willing to state just what will be done in regard to importing of men. The strikers say that If the plumbers are willing to 'come here and work for the money they have been getting they are welcome to the jobs. As local plumbing establishments have several very large contracts on at present the outcome of the trouble will be watched with interesL -
