NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the Recent
Motor Accident ,
STRANGE CONDUCT OF THE CORONER
Illi Actloni Crltlnlted l > j the Cltlzoru-
llotorman I'urr nnd Buprrlnteiulcnt
Stone Held to the Urautl Jury
Wharo the Illume ItoiU.
The coroner's Inquest over the death of B.
F. Holmes , who was killed In the Main
street motor accident , was completed yester
day afternoon , Instead of In the evening , as
was announced at the close of list Friday's
cession. What happened Is not known in
detail save to the coroner , the Jurymen and
the witnesses , for the coroner Issued an
order excluding all outsiders from the pro
ceedings. Hoportcrs and representatives of
the dead man's estate wcro nliKo under the
ban , and the only record that is kept of the
proceedings nro the very Imperfect notes
kept by the coroner himself , the short hand
reporters who took notes of all the preced
ing days' sessions having been Included In
the order of exclusion.
.T. K. lllxby , J. W. Hoyman , Herman Parr ,
the motor mail , George llurke , the conductor ,
and AIIss Maud Hryant wcro the witnesses
examined. Mis * Bryant stated that Just be
fore the accident the motor stopped and then
started up again suddenly , convoying the
Impression to her that the conductor saw the
train and was trying to pass ahead of it.
Dl'nvr stated that at the s\vltch > [ n short
distance east of the crossing ho received a
severe shock from the brake , nnd ran the
rest of the dlstnnco intervening between
the switch and the crossing without his
hand on the brake , so as to avoid any moro
shocks. When ho saw the train ho put his
hand back on the brake , but sustained an
other shock that almost paralyzed his arm
nnd covered his eyes with a sort of film that
prevented him from realizing Just what was
going on about him.
The conductor , Burke , when asked why
he old not pull the trolley from the wlro
when ho saw the danger Impending , stated
that ho thought the niotorman was trying to
reverse his current , nnd saw that for him to
pull oft the trolley would bo to frustrate the
motornmn's plans.
After the evidence had been heard the
Jurymen retired nnd soon after returned a
verdict in which they held that the motor
company was partly responsible for the
accident and recommended that the case be
turned over to the grand Jury at Its next
session. It nlso directed that both Supcrln
tendent A. 1C. Stone and the motorman
Herman Parr , bo held , the former because
he revoked the old rulu requiring conductors
to Hag the trains , and the latter because ho
attempted to cross in front of tno freight
train.
Much criticism has been oxpreiscd on the
action of Coroner Seybert In this case. It
has been evident from the start that ho was
opposed to giving the case the sifting It deserved
served , and during the last day or two it has
been Just as evident that ho desired to pre
vent the public , and even the friends of the
dead man , who had a right to be Interested
from Icaining the facts that might \
brought out during tlio inquest. The end o
the matter has not yet been reached by any
means , however , and tlio information thai
the friends nnd family of this deceased have
been deprived of will come out in nr.othc
way.

A lot of city record * that wcro taken to
the court hoilso a number ot years ngo for
safekeeping nnd hnro there accumulated
must and duit , were moved to their now
resting plnco In the city building yesterday
morning. E. J , Abbott wns superintending
the Job of moving them nnd putting them
nwaya In the city's archives. Several men
who wcro doing the soclnlblllty act In the
city clerk's ofllco wcro surprised by the sud
den appearance nt the door , of Abbott , wltn
blanched fnco nnd chattering teeth.
"W-w-w-hat d'yo snpposo this Isl" said ho ,
ai ho hold n long , dark object out to the view
of the spectators. It looked as though it
might bo n piece of gas ulpo , and there was
a mysterious look about it that Instantly
brought the word "dynamite" to the llpt of
someone. There was a scattcrntlon , and no
ono seemed anxious to relieve Abbott of bin
umvclcomo burden. Gradually , however , Jho
crowd gathered around and began to specu
late as to what the bomb might contain , nnd
what object anyone could have In trying to
blow up the court house or the city building.
"Lot's have It. " Ilnally exclaimed City
Clerk Xurmuchlon , waving u screw driver In
the nlr , nnd as ho spoke a determination to
die for his country If necessary spread over
his fnco nnd made his careworn features
almost beautiful. The crowd gathered about
him at n respectful distance and watched him
pry away on tbo scaling nt tlio end of the
pipe , fully expecting to sco his head nnd
his heels part company nnd start out to sco
tbo world In opposite directions. Hut they
wcro woefully disappointed. There was not
the slightest sign of a sensation of that
kind , and when nt last the scaling wns
broken nnd n dirty , whitish cake of powdery
stull fell out there was a look of disgust
upon the features of tbo people who had
been fully expecting annihilation a few min
utes before. .Tho "bomb" was ignomlnl-
ously chucked out Into the street nnd fell
with a d , s t that proclaimed It
entirely harmless. It wns a sample cake of
cement , a reminiscence of public improve
ments of by-gone years.

There Is a place In tlio western part of the
ciy { which demands the Immediate attention
of the city authorities. It is the Indian
creek bridge on Seventh avenue , The south
foul-path connects with the road on the cast
end , but on the west there is a Jumping off
plnco which would drop a man three or four
feet. Luckily It is the north side of the
bridge which is used almost entirely , so that
accident have so far been avoided. There
is nothing in the world , however , to prevent
the south side from being used
as well , excepting tbo fact that there
4s no- sidewalk on thnt side of the
street. Any one unacquainted with tlio lay
of the land passing nlonit on a dark night
would very likely bo hurled over the end of
the bridge nnd a big damage suit against the
city would bo the inevitable result. It Is n
pure matter of luck that such n thing has
not happened already. The city authorities ,
who lost the city jy.tlOO a week or so ngo by
their recklessness in allowing the Interstate
Street Hallway company to keep Korth
Eighth street obstructed with Us pieces of
track , have learned a lesson. It is to bo
hoped , and will doubtless do something to
prevent more expensive litigation.

bo had found all the bad places. Ho stated
that about 300 foot of sidewalk had been
washed away in Albright and considerable
of It was lost. In hundreds of places the
sidewalks Jiad been moved and dropped

To Tax tno Poles ami Wire * .
Bulla reported ! that his committee had
waited on the manager of the street rail
way company to ask them to complete their
line across the Viaduct , but was told that
ono of the directors was sick and could not
attend to the matter at onco. Mr. Smith
said ho would being the matter before bis
company. This commjttco has been at work
on this ono errand foc.about a month and has
been unable to get any satisfaction.
After Bulla had made his report Mayor
Walker suggested that if the council put a
tax on the street car cfimpany's coles and
wires in the city it would do some good to
wards getting them to nc.t. Conlcy thought
tills should not bo done until after the com
pany officials had said what they intend to
do. There the matter rested.
Mr. Mnhoncy , owner of the building at
Twenty-fifth nnd N streets , reported a
nulsanco al this place. Every time there is
a heavy rain his basement acts as a catch
basin for all the lllth and garbage above
him , The grade of the lot next to him Is
the cause of the nuisance , and Mr. Mahoney

munication was placed on file.

directors on last Friday night und fjlvcn
short notice to leave the country. His term
would not expire for tbrco weeks yet ,
but the reports that reached the parents of
some of the pupils were enough to cause his
immediate dismissal. Lytlo is n married
man nnd has thrco children. His family
lives nt Pacific Junction.
It is lucky that Lytlo got away when ho
did , " said the father of ono of his scholars tea
a HEB reporter last evening , "or ho might
have met with a tar and feather reception.
Thrco of the scholars toll of his fiendish con
duct toward them , nnd their words cannot
bo doubted under the circumstances. While
ho may not have accomplished his hellish
designs ho went far enough to make the
blood boil in the reins of n parent , who hud
entrusted their children to his euro , "

James Harris , an Octogenarian ,

The Brilliant Saylnp of T , G. Appleton ,
Boiton'a Grtnt WiU
. Not everybody knows that the bril
liant ' saying , "la llfo worth livlnc'rThnt
depends on the liver. " originated with
the late Thomns G. Appleton ot Boston ,
Thero'a enough wisdom in the pun to
Bet upti college ot physicians.
The liver , indeed , inakos ono sco
things through rose-colored glasses , or
through the smoky trlass of disease.
Intno weakness of shutting one's eyes
to the beginning of liver troubles because -
cause they are s in nil ones , misfortunes
ronlly lies.
The man who neglects plain signs of
loming illness , or who docs not know
, vhat to do when sickness overtakes him
euch n man is culpably ignorant.
As ho elves sv double bonolH who gives
Illicitly , so n man on the verge ot'fall
ing into dyspepsia , nervous prostration ,
3i' kidney trouble does himself a double
bo no lit who quickly attends to disagree
able sonMitioiiH in btomuch , liver or head.
It mnv bo nothing , it may bo serious.
'Iho ritkis largo. Pulno'a celery com
pound Is now PO easily obtainable
every druggist of any standing has it
and Ptuno's celery compound so quickly
nnd permanently relieves sufferers from
'
their ills , that t'horo is no excuse for a
: nnn or woman saying , "It is too lato. "
Jiiinos Ilnrris of Townnilu , I'enn , , is
81 years old. Ho has boon court crier
'
tor'thirty-eight yours , ivtul is in this way
known in every part of his county , llo
s a man very much respected by all who
.TAJIKS 1IAIUMS.
know him. Ho has been In poor health
for a long time , und his improved condi
tion is the fctibject of general remark.
Clarence T. Kirb.y is a druggist in
Towanda. and ho says that when Harris
wont to htm for two bottles oi Pa i no's
celery compound last May , before ho
started for a visit to his daughter in
Orwoll. ho was in very baa shape , and
ho would not have been surprised if Mr.
Harris had never como back to court
again. Lot Mr. Harris toll his story :
Ho says : ' ! huvo been troubled for
years with what the doctors call Briglit's
disease , and my right kidney has both
ered mo terribly ; my knees pained mo
so that I could hardly bend over at all.
1 had dizziness in my head , although I
never was much troubled with head
ache. I have been sodix/.y us to full oft
my chair and had to bo helped up by
others. In thesa di'//y spells I would
apparently see specks Hying in the air ,
and 1 was troubled very frequently in
this manner , both on the slroot and in
the house. I had cramps nights so terribly -
ribly that I could not tret to sleep until
3 o'clock in the morning. I first read of
Pnino's celery compound about a year
ago. Having tried nearly all tlio medi
cines and consulted bevcral physicians
without getting relief , I had little confi
dence in any thing , but I spoke to Drug
gist Clarence T. Kirby about it. and ho
said ho was having n great demand for
it , and 1 concluded to try it. I pur
chased two bottles and took it to Orwell
witli mo ana used it according to direc
tions. I began to fool better at once.
When two bottles were gone I coultl got
no moro at Orwell and discontinued its
use until I caino back to Townnda. But
I certainly hail loss pain in my kidneys ,
had no cramps , and could Bleep and rest
nearly all n-ght. When I wont into the
court house on my return. Judge Peck
and till the court ofllcora congratulated
mo on my improved appearance and told
mo I WHS getting young again. And I
certainly feel younger now. lam taking
third bottle of Palno's
my celery com
pound , and shall continue its uso. It has
tlono mo moro good than all the other
medicine I ever took , and to it 1 ewe ray
present improved condition of health. "
