The engineer saw the body ly ing on the track and stopped the train and backed up to the depot to notify the authorities. The section men were ssnt out to watch the body and at 7$) Coroner John Sattler arrived and impaneled a jury composed of Dr. W. II. SchildKneeht, V. D. Jones, Peter Hansen, Ike Dunn, F. Taylor acd W. A. Lowis. After making a careful examination of the body the jury returned a verdict that the man, to the jury unknown, had come to his death by being run over by a train, but could not determine how the acci dent happened.- - v Itnily C ut In Two The man'd body was cut entity in two, the left leg and left arm were crushed and the entrails were scat tiered about,making a sickening sight. From tho appearance of the body and tbo marks along tho track it was as certained that he was killed by a 60Utb bound train, and it is supposed that he was stealing a ride on the freight which passes through this city shortly after midnight, following pas senger No. 2. There were no marks on the body except where the wheels struck him, and it is the opinion of the railroad men that he was riding the bumpers and fell between the cars. Passenger train No. 1, which passes here at 4:50 a. m., also passed over the body without the train men having seen it, but it is not believed that the body sustained any further mutilation. Could Not Be Identified. The man was about thirty years of age, five feet seven inches tall, and weighed about 160 pounds. lis was fairly well dressed in a blue-black suit Of clothes ar.d a black shirt. The big toe of his loft foot had been cut off at some timo. In his pockets was found $1.25 In change and also $1.25 in one sock. He did not present the appear ance of an ordinary tramp, having a clean shave and recent hair cut and was a nice looking man. There were no letters or anything found in the pockets by which the dead man could be identified. After finishing the ir quest Coroner Satt'.er camo down town and got a coffin and tho body of tho unfortunate man was buried in Oak Hill ceme tery.

The train was late, and in order to make up time a special train was run from Omaha to connect with the train at Lincoln, the main train was brought straight through by way of Louisville Tho dislrance from Pacific Junction over the old line is sixty miles, and this distasco was covered by engine 307, carrying six cars behind it,in the remarkable time of ono bur and twenty-four minutes, including three stops for stations and one for a rail road crossing. The stops were esti mated to consume at least fourteen minutes of the train's time, making the actual running time for the sixty miles in seventy minutes. Engineer Slattery of Creston, la., was in charge. Faster time has been made over this this piece of track, but never better time with so heavy a train. The train left Pacific Junction at 5:15 p.m. and arrived ut Lincoln at 6 39. Lin coln Journal. D. S.

Information Regarding the Young Man Killed on the M. P. Two of Ula Comrades From South Omaha Visit Plattsmouth and Say the Ie ncriptlon la That of Long Has Rel atives at Kansas City and Washington, D. C. From Thursday's Daily. There is little doubt now that the man who was kiiled on the Missouri Pacific track north of the depot in this city Tuesday night was a former employe of a South Omaha packing house, whose name was Will Long. A couple of young men by the name of William Meridith and Ed Nugent came down from South Omaha last night to investigate the matter. They had heard of the accident, and uoon being given a description of the man who was killed they said that there was no doubt tut that it was Long. He had been employed for sorao time in a packing house and left South Omaha Tuesday evening to go to Kansas City, where he has a brother and sister and where ho has lived for several years. Ho also has a brother in Washington, 1). C, where he used to live and where his parents died. One of tho young men s:id he had lived in the family with Long and said he was a fine young man of good habits. The relatives at Kansas City were notified and are expected to come to this city and will probably tako up the body and remove it to the family burying ground. INTERESTING lOUMY CIXLINKS.

From the Detroit Journal: P. H. Studer. the Swain avenue boat builder, has just completed the hull of a most extraordinary gasoline launch for the United States government. Though only twenty-six feet In length over all, it is constructed In exact imitation of one of Uncle Sam's men o' war. The boat Is designed for use by United States lighthouse officials at the "Soo." It was the unique idea of Lieut. C. C. Churchill of the "Soo" hydrographic office, under whose direction the launch was built, that she should be given the lines of a battleship. He pre pared the plans and made the model, a counterpart of the Massachusetts. Now she Is ready for the water ram and all. She will be placed on a flat car and transported by rail to the Soo, to be used in patrolling the Sv Mary's river and In tending husys rtnd other channel marks. The moulded epth is 4 feet and her oeam 6 feet. She will draw three feet of water. At the Soo she will be fitted with a twelve horse rower gasoline engine, which is being bnilt by the Lake Shore Iron works of Marquette. She will have a propeller wheel 24 inches in diameter. Her speed. It Is expected, will be about eleven miles an hour. The total cost will be $1,900. Have a Chance.

Something of a stir has been made by Mrs. Stanford's stipulation with the trustees of Stanford university that no more than 500 girls s'mI'i be admitted to the school, no matter how great the number of boys. The only reason that she seemed willing to give was that the institution was designed for the educa tion of young men, not young women. and that the large proportion of girls In attendance threatens to turn the school eventually into a girls' school. We suspect that the kind-hearted wom an has reasons that she thinks might just as well not be stated, says. The Argonaut. It may be of some interest to speculate on them. Perhaps she re gards men as the prime factor in the concerns of life with which an educa tion has most to do. Possibly she imagines that the good, old way of giv ing a girl a seminary or high scnool education Is sufficient for the needs of womankind, and of humanity, indi rectly. We imagine that she found the life of a girl in a great in.stitttion like Stanford, where there arc hardly any restrictions upon girls except their own sense of right (which experience may not always guarantee to be the best), not calculated to refine and build her girlhood into strong, dainty, sweet womanhood. Perhaps she had an inkling, of some of the things that girls have to endure, s-orr.e of the temp tations to which they are exposed, in institutions managed almost exclusive ly by men. Likely she heard stories of girls becoming infatuated with sleek and unctuous professors. Perhaps she has taken into account the extreme susceptibility of young irls, their proneness to hero-wor.-hip, their ro mantic ideals, and the other beautiful weaknesses that give thein a special charm and make them easy prpy. like ly she desired to limit the number of girls thus exposed, and that fhe ho;Pu there would come through the ordeal a sufficient number of that number to make good and useful women. Or, pns Elbly, she did not wish to increase the growing competition between men and women In the world's work. Perhaps she thinks it is risht for men to Lie the bread winners and for womtn to be protected and provided for. There is a chance that she may have looked for ward to the time when the present movement the "woman's movement" would have so changed and strained the mutual relations of the sexes as to make the progress of civilization more difficult. Maybe she imagined that men and women should be partners, not rivals; that the strong should bear the heavy burdens of life, the weak the fine burdens; that as men and women are created with different attributes. Qualities and capabilities of body, mind and spirit, each should keep within his or her proper bounds each do tae things that nature ha3 set to be dene. HatleHA Spaniaril.
