The warning was unheeded , and Brakenjan
Ton Bates turned away his head that he
mlpht not witness the hornble scene which
he Instinctively knew could not be averted
There was a slight jar followed by a grind
ing noise as the merciless wneels crushed
human bones like egR shells , and the terrible
I casualty was over.
Two lives had been suddenly brought to a
dose , and two shockingly torn ana mangled
bodies lay motionless beside the rails await
ing the official order of the coroner tsd the
friendly scivice of tVio undertaker.
" It was 0 o'tlock yesterday morning , and a
"Dnion Pacific switch ci.tfne was backinca
dozen ftfifjht cars down to the coal yards
from South Omaha. When between Sheolcv
station and Twentj-fourth street , Brakeman
Z > atcswho was on the front car , noticed tro
men wallune down the truck in front of the
train. A Milwaukee passcaper train wa ap-
proachlnn on the west bound track , and the
men tr > apparently watchinp it , alike t.n-
consdou , of the danger they \vere in , and of
the other train coming up behind them. He
'shouted rci > eatedy ] to warn them of
their peril , but finding tbat they paid no
attention to him as the sound of his voice was
apparently drowned in the rumble of the
other tram , he pave tbeticmal to down brales
and twisted his wheel as vigorously as possi
ble for a man under the ciicumstances
The train was on a down prade and it wcs
only poasiUe to slacken the speed to about
lour triles an hour , when the unsuspecting
pedestrians were overtaken and thrown
under tbe wheels.
The train was stopped and the mutilated
boaies carcmiljUUjtn Iroin under tbe cars ,
but there was no sign of life in cither. Death
had been instantaneous
The corpses presented a most reroltlnp
spectacle. The bead of one was literally
pround to pieces and cut off at the u.iseo'f
the skull , and the trunk was uls > o terribly
manplod The other v\-as not BO badly dK-
flcured The bead bad received a violent
blow , frac tunng the sltull in several places
and dislocating the Jaw , and the limbs bad
bocn ulruo-it amputated by the -uhoels
The clothing was almost all torn from the
bodies , bat enouph of : t could be Been to
show that tbe unfortunate men bad "belonpcd
to the labeling- class A patty knife uas
Ibunrt near one ot the bodies , also a gold
watchwhich had stopped at tt\o minutes
after 0 o'cljck. One bodv was tbat of a man
nearly six feet tall , and tbe other was coa-
slderablj shorter.
A bunch of keys found near the bed of the
taller man lure the followinc inscription on a
small metal tap : "B. F.Voilguardsen , jiainter ,
.Kearney , Neb "
The renums were taken to Heafey &
Heafey's ciorjrue , where an itiquost was "held
at 10 : ! W by Coroner Harripm. The evidence
Introduced substantially as stated above.
Two laborers testified to socln the men then
they -vverc struck and that they thoupht tbe
attention of the deceased was so entirely
taken up with the passenper train that they
did not know what was poinjr on about them
In nccordinfe with these facts the jury re
turned a verdict to the effect that the de
ceased came to their deaths bv being run
ever by a Union Pacific freiRnt train , and
that their deaths were due to their own care
lessness.
Neither of the bodies have yet been Iden
tified. It is believed that the larger man was
a painter from Kearney , as Indicated by the
keys and putty knife found near his body ,
but Itvill be impossible for anv one to identify -
tify the remains except by the clotiiinp : . The
other man was smoothly shaven , with black
hair and brown ees. .
Both bodies will bo held at the morgne for
identification. _

THli. SADDLERS' LOCK-OUT.
What tbo Employers Say
the Caimeof it. *
The strike among the employes at Marks
Bros' , saddlery establishment is still in
progress. A little over ball of the force of
fifty men participated in tno walk-out. The
collar-makers hA : e not left their benches , but
the harness and saddle-makers are all out.
A member of the firm stated that tbe cause
of the strike was the refusal by the house to
reinstate a discharged workman who was let
out last Saturday. The man , he claimed , was
not discharged for participatinR in the laoor
parade on Monday , as has b-jea asserted , but
for alleged carel'easneSs and unsatisfactory
work.
A committee of the strikers , who , by the
vrav , are union men , waited upon the firm
ilondav afternoon after the parade , and
nitdo their demands , which tbe nrm declined
to aooede. The men then failed to po toork
Tucsdav morning. At another conference
Wednesday afternoon , Mr. Marks stated that
the men could not go -uorkasain this
week , but that they could all po to work
again Monday morning , provided each would
iilgn a certain contractproT"jdinp thatthemen ;
hould not quit work without two weeks'
BOtU-e , and shojld deposit a fi'j guaranty to
tbat effect This ncreement , howe\er , the
firm beia should not applv to new ana incom
petent workmen , w ho might be discharged
without siitb notice. The lira : also agreed
pot to discharge a good man without two
i t > eiis1 notice.
Mr. MurLs statoil that tbe firm vras not In-
beiurcnicacod by tbe strike , as it has a larpo
StocV of manufactured poods on hand , and
elaimod that it could pet all the men it
V anted in case the strikers refused to fo back
lo work. In the event of their refuMnp to
ilgn the contract they will be allovrpd to
yet urn simply and complete their unfinished
trork.
Tboflrn denies tbat it is maliinc a fig-ht
apainst orpanized labor , but will insist on
their right to employ union or non-union tnen
or both , and their emplojes must apreetoit.

COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.

and Repainting the Cor
porations.
Hos. William Larrabee , ci-jrovcraor of
Iowa , writes the following paper In the New
York Independent :
No community has ever been more liberal
or more reasonable in dealing with railroad
corporitions tiaa Iowa , none has suffcred
greater Impositions froa them , and cone has
Lad more cause for insisting upon lejal regu
lation of the transportation business. But
\rronc has cen now beea Inflicted upon
these corporations. rCono hjs been bank
rupt or crippled and stockholders continue
to receive their dividends from lotva com
panies as reiralarly a t > ef ore.
Con Uennc the rapidity ivithwhich the
uc\vsstein of transpartatioii has grown in
this country , it is not strange that ereat
abases have grows up with it. In tboir
c.icerae is to obtain railroad facilities , the
p ° ople submitted for many years to all the
evils winch had developed under the new
system of transportation. It was from the
first the policy of lo'.va to encourage railroad
construftioa Foraftle Innd grants , sub
sidy taxes and liberal donations , all lon-
tntmted to make this state an Kl Dot ado for
railroad builders More than tifty million
dollars in value tuia donated to all lathe

Mate have those \ \ ho own the railroad's paid
u btnaller proportion of the cost of their con
struction than hero. This , however , seexod
to tune but little weieht with railroad mana
gers. lov\a has no great city interest to pro
tect her shippers acaiust their mnacity and
tie chedacriiultar.il ! interests ha\e always
k-en singled out bv them for the recoapn-c of
losses sustained by perilous competition in
larprebii-.ii.ess centers Our fanners , miners ,
manufao-turers aud lobosrwere alike nade
the victimof a vtupendojs system of dis
crimination In man- portions of the itate
the freifht to Chicago ou cram and cuttle

When , as goeruor of the slate , 1 collc-d upon
one of the principal railroad companies to
correct a disci.mii-a.uoti in c-oal ratua against
a state institution , its president replied that
no reason existed for chausrms the rate , inas
much as it enableJ consumers to buy coal
much below ivhat It cost -without the rail
road
Thtsa are only a few of the innumerable
spuoes of peueral discrimination prattuul
here bv railroad managers They"chai pod
not only what the traffic -would tK-ar , bat
etezi crashed whole industries , often causing
nnspoainiUe hardship Thus flouring mills
depredated within a Jew years from 50 to r >
per cent. Jobbers were forced to uriaudoii
their business or transfer it to mow favored
points beyond our borders Farms and town
property dcprenatod and many energetic
men T\ ere forced to Icuve thi > state.
It must not b ? presumed , however , that all
business lanjrulsut.'d or that all lonaus were
discriminated against alike. On the con
trary , railroad manairers tned to regulate
commerce here as elsewhere by various de
vices of local and personal di-cnmmatioa ,
such as spacia ! rajjs , r boiacr lra > ni ,
commodity tanSs etc They had in Iowa , us

Similar comnitrcial monopollus were fos
tered bytbe railroad managers in nearlj
every city and town. All the business nt
camfetitKe ; > oiuts was noajed ; and the
poollnR was lutter maintained in Iowa than
aav other state , no "break' ha-ing occurred

tain lines of business wth any prospect of
success -oithout the uermis.siou of the rail-
roadautiioutiesand this 0110 could not obuiiu
w ithout the obligation of serving them in one
way or another
Leading papers of both political pi'ties
were either owned or subsidized by railway
managers , and corporate javorj were even
exteudod to publishers of cross-road papsrs
who were disposed to fritlclvs exUtitit ;
abuses. Annual pisses wro piven t all
state and coanU oSctrs t xecati\e , Ittisla-
live , and Judicial , to all pro = ninent politicians
and in some instani.es even to township as
sessori and jurynitm. Kai'road power made
itself felt everywhere e ery shipner realized
it. Men of cutrcry and self reliance would
fail in business , while railroad favorites
accumulated fortune in a few years. The
rules i\hich hid always controlled trade
seemed to bo inverted.
But evcrv e\il pi-odaces its own remedy
These abuses Increased until they became in
tolerable , and a poneral demand arose thai
thej should cease. Both of the pnat politi
cal pirties incorporated the pnnciple of state
contrcl of railivnysinto their platforms , and
the lesrislaturo of l -3 wus chieflj elected
upon that issue While that bsdy \ \ as deter
mined to pivetbe poojlc such relief as nas in
it . iKiwer.it
Its railroad committees listening' for weeks to
the at foments that were made by railroad
men upon the proposed meisures So eml
nently just were the provisions of the bill
which was finally adopted that not a sinplo
vote was cast apainst it in either house of the
general assembly
The law combines the best features of the
railroad statutes of other states andtbe
inter-state commerce act. it provides tlint
charpes for transportation shall be Just and
reasonable , defines and prohibits discrimina
tion , demands equal futilities for interchange
of tniCiclx-'tMeaii dlTwnt lines , forbids a
prcater < h.irte for a short than a lonsr haul on
the lines of the same t-ompan } , makes pools
and combinations unlawful , requires public
ity of rates , and imposes UIKW the board of
railroad commissioners the duty to inquire
into the business of all common camera , and
to make for eath railroad corporation in the
stata a schedule of prima facie reasonable
maximum rates The act contains no novel
or unreasonable features , in fact , it is in sub-
staaco only a reiteration of the principles of
the common law with provislson for itseffi-
cient enforcement
yo section of the law has b cn assallod as
furiously by railroad managers as that \ \ hich
requires the railroad commissioners to tate
the initiative In the liiinR of rates They
contend that railroad companies should w
permitted to charge such rates as they please ,
and then leave it to the public to avail it-elf
of the service and rates that are offered , or
to have recourse to such transportation facil
ities as were accessible to it before the ad
vent of railroads. This i certainly a rather
despotical view of the situation
Iowa yields more prodoca per capiti than
any other state in the union , uud by far the
trroater portion of her freights pay for the
long haul to or from the eastern states , or
even the seaboard. The earnlnprs of the
railways within the statevJone are J37K)0OOJ ( )
or about three times the amount of all the
eitj rvwiTitr find anhnnl taxes rolloct&d bv
authority of tbe commonwealth. Every pos
sible safeiruard is thrown around tbe < ndiid -
ual citizen to protect htm both airainst , an
ecessi\e assessment and eiccsshe taiation.
Railroad charges are a tax upon commerce ,
the payment of which rene can escape
Ther are blphway tolls , which a few rail

and th.at they are null und void if the pomp >

The power to fix rates has been oonfenvd
upon the railroad ootnaustioners in nlneotlur
states. This provision of our law is , there
fore , by no means an asnmaly Nor does the
railroad policy of Iowa as a whole materially
differ from that of California , Goorda , Illi
nois Minnesota or M1 ourL except that in
the two first named state * the commission t-rs
are vested Arith eteu , more authority than
here.
here.Tho property of the railroad companies
has during this period kept pace with that of
the people. Their gross * -arninps were over
a million , and their net oarninps ever * > fX ) , ( 0
more in li > S9 than during the year previous.

revenue of the railroads of Iowa is almost
one-third of their assessed value , Xo other
property in this state brings such large re
turns.
Great reforms , as far as the stats traffic is
concerned , hae been nctompli .hed , but some
of the former abuses are still practiced ,
much as this t tement conflicts with the as
surances which an eastern railroad manager
with marked presidential aspirations has re
cently seen fit to give to tbe readers of the
North American Itevlew Discriminations
still exist in our interstate tramc , servile
journalists are still subsidized , attorneys are
still retained to render political rather than
professional service * , and a fiw state officers
under various pretexts still acoept passes for
themsehcs and their political friends , which
favors they are expected to , and usually do ,
return.
The action of our people lias had its influ
ence upon public opinion cl.evlitre. . Com
missioners in other states have already re-
siKmdod to the demands of their constituents
and revised Iheir tariffs , and in some states
it is now even proposed to adopt the Iowa
tariff as a whole
Excrj step in the direction of government
control is alw ays i icorously oppo-ed by rail

to manipulate tbo stockholders' prop rty to

Prof Fred. G Plummer , a civil engi

pia ( Wash. ) Tribune a saying : "I lia e
br n all o-ver tin- country , and have the
best collection of the flora to be found
anyhere. . What do you think of tree
( n'j feet highV They are to be found
that high in the un urteyed townships
near the foot of Mount Tacoma , and
what is more , I huve seen them and
made an instrumental mea-urement of n
number iith that ri ult. There are lots
of trees near tbe ba e of Mount Tacotna
whot.0 foliage i M > far abo\ the ground
thatit is irnposs-ible to tell to what
familj thej belong except by tbe bark.
Very'few people- know or dieamof the
immensity ol our forest growth. I wish
that tome of our larpro trees could be
sent to the world's fair at Chicago. We
could send a flag pole , for instance , 800
or400fettlong. "

gives \voman a happy face ,
you can i\ear it two or three
