J I in my Smith Dies Without
ItcKiilultiK Consciousness,
The Inquest conducted yesterday by Coro
ner Treynor over Isaac Smith, Joseph Coff
man and little Jimmy Smith, tho three vlc
tlmo of tho accident Tuesday afternoon nt
tho Northwestern crossing on Elaventh
street nnd Avenue E, resulted In tho jury
exonerating tho railroad company. Tho Jury,
consisting of II. S. Terwllllger, G. C. Tay
lor and J. W. Clntterbuck, brought In a ver
dict to the effect that tho deceased wcro
struck and killed by passenger train No. 3
on tho Chicago & Northwestern railroad
track on Avenue E and that In Its Judgment
tho railroad ccmpany was In no way to
blamo for their death. To the vordlct was
attached a rider recommending that tho
city nt onco cnuso to bo removed tho wil
lows and all trocs which obstruct tho view
of tho track nt the point whero tho acci
dent occurred. In addition to tho mombera
of tho train crew numerous witnesses were
examined, and after tho evidence had all
been taken tho Jury proceeded to the scene
of the accident and looked the ground over
beforo arriving nt tho verdict.
Tho first witness examined was M. O'Don
noll, engineer of No. 3, Ho estimated that
tho train was running twelve to fifteen miles
an hour. Tho bell, ho said, had been set
to ring automatically, as was the custom
when entering tho yards, und the whlstlo
wns blown for the station nnd again for
tho Urondwny crossing.
Frank McDermott, fireman on No, 3, said
tint when his train was about 125 foot from
tho crossing ho noticed n team of horses
with a wagon coming west on the avenue.
Tho team seemed to bo fifty feet from tho
crossing and was apparently trotting. Ho
called to tho -engineer to whlstlo and then
realizing that thu occupants of tho wagon
did not appear to not'eo the train called to
him to stop quick. The engineer whistled
and then applied tho air. Tho witness Bald
that ho saw a collision was" Inevitable and
Jumped from hla Beat. As tho wagon
reached tho culler of tho track tho occu
pants seemed to rcallzo their danger and
stood up, but did not mnko any attempt
to Jump. Tho horses reared backward and
then plunged ahead Just as tho engine
struck tho wngon. The witnoss testified
further thnt thu engineer hnd shut off Bteam
at tho switch tower at tho northern end
of tho yards and that tho bell had been set
ringing opposite tho roundhouso and was
ringing nt tho tlmo of tho collision. The
whlstlo had been blown last a quarter of a
tulle back. His testimony also wns that
tho train was on time and that there was
no need for running at more than tho usual
speed.
W. H. Davis, tho renr brakeman, tcstl-
11 ed to hearing tho whlstlo Just as the train
Wat, passing, the ToitmllioUee, and that
shortly after ho felt lUo nlr applied. He
did not sco thu engine strike tho wagon,
but noticed tho horses running on tho west
stda of thu track. Ho got off the train as
soon us It stopped and saw the body of a
mun lying by tho track. Tho dining car,
tho fifth car In tho train, was standing on
the crossing when tho train was brought to
a stop.
Miiii'n CIothliiK on Fire.
Tho testimony of Charles Van Gordor,
conductor of No. 3, showed that ho was una
aro of thu accident until niter It had
happened and tho train had been brought
to a standstill. When ho alighted from
tho train ho snw thu body of a man lying
by tho track and noticed that tho man's
clothing was on lire, supposedly from
matches In the pockuts. Ho extinguished
tho Are with snow und whllo doing so his
attention was culled to tho fact that two
others hnd been hurt. Ho had tho two
Injured placed In tho bnggago car and taken
to thu local depot. Tho witness estimated
that the train wus running at about four
teen miles u u hour.
Harry Snyder, a switchman, ono of the
crew of nn engine waiting nt Avcnuo 0
crossing to tnko tho dining car from No.
3 when It should reach tho depot, said he
heard No. 3 whlstlo for the gates at tne
Uroadway crossing and saw thu train when
It was about ut Avcnuo G, Ho noticed tho
team nnd wagon approaching tho crossing
nt Avenue E. Tho horses wero trotting
and went onto tho track directly In front of
tho approaching train. Tho witness snw
tho man who wnB driving attempt to pull
tho team back, but us ho did so tho engine
truck tho wngon. Tho witness said ho
ran us fust as ho could to tho scene nnd
ronched thcro Just as tho train canio to u
stop. Ho snw tho bodies of a man and n
boy on tho pilot ot tho engine, together
with a wagon seat. Hoth bodies were lying
In tho open spaco under tho front part of
tho boiler, their hends together and tho
seat of tho wagon nt their feet. Ho climbed
on the pilot nnd helped removo tho bodies.
Ho further testified that as ho Jumped on
tho pilot to removo tho bodies the bell on
tho englno was still ringing.
Other witnesses examined wero It. Illpley,
front hrukomnn of No. 3; W. Allstrand,
Bectlon foreman; Charles Johnson, section
laborer; W. Nicholson, llreman, and J. C.
Malone, engineer of the switch englno.
Their testimony wns mainly relatlvo to the
whlstlo being blown and tho bell rung on
No. 3.
Little Jimmy Smith, the 8-year-old
grandson of Isaac Smith, who was removed
to St. Ilernard's hospital Tuesday evening,
died yestordny morning without having re
gained consciousness. The operation of
trepanning tho skull was performed, but at
no time was there much hope for his sur
viving his terrible Injuries.
Tho funernls of tho threo victims of the
accident will ho this nfternoon. Hurlnl will

of Isaac Smith was tnken last evening to hit

PlruNiirc Si'i'ker- llriicefortli Are nt
tlic .Mercy of -Motor Company.
Unless yesterday's action of the Hoard
of County Supervisors Is reversed by tho
courts tho public will no longer bo nble
to secure access to Lako Manawa, excopt
through the motor compnny's property r.nd
by paytug It toll. Desplto tho protests riled
and made by Interested property fMvners
the board on convening yesterday utorn'ng
announced that It had decided to grent the
request of tho motor company that practic
ally all of tho public thoroughfares leading
to and In nnd about Lake Manawa bo va
cated. Tho thoroughfares thus vacated by
order of tho board are' Tho L. S. Wright
road along tho lake front to the west line
of Third street In Manawn park; that part
of tho strcot In tho town of Manawn park
known ns Portland avenuo, lying west of
Third strcot; nil that part of the street In
Mannwn park known ns South Fourth
street, lying south ot Park avenue; all that
part of the street In tho town of Itegatta
place known as Ilcgatta avenue, lying west
of the street In tho town of Manawa Park
known as Main street.
Considerable surprise was manlfesteO
when tho action of the county supervisors
beenmo known, pnd tho attorneys who rep
resented protesting property owners beforo
the board stated that an appeal would at
onco bo taken to the district court. One
nttorney, who represented several property
owners, said the action ot the board was
an outrage, as It would render the holdings
of his clients practically worthless,
Charles It. Itannnn ot tho First National
bonk, who owns a lot within tho grounds
enclosed by the motor company, said: "Tho
only way I havo now of reaching my prop
erty Is either to tako n big Jump ovor bov
eral Intervening lots, or clso drop down on
It from a balloon, but then I supposo tho
motor company would object to me oven
using a balloon, as they probably feel that
they own tho sky ns well ns the ground
beneath."
Tho motor company, on tho other hand,
clnlms that there nrc two sides to the ques
tion, and says It hns no fear but that the
court will uphold tho action of tho county
board. With tho exception of ono road run
ning directly through the resort at the lake
all tho streets wero vacated nt tho time the
town of Manawa wbb abandoned, Tho com
pnny nlso contends that tho opposition to
tho vacation of tho streets was not In good
spirit, but simply to harass and nnnoy the
company and to prevent It from carrying
out Its contemplated improvements nt tho
lake resort.

The supervisors yesterday ordered the
authorities ot LAyton township to send H.
J. Tosh, a pauper, back to Marlon county,
his legnl residence. This enso showed tho
hoard the necessity of taking some step
to prevent tho Influx of paupers Into this
county. Tho low provides that a person
coming from nnother stato nnd not having
becomo n citizen of nor having a settlement
In tho state applying for relief may bo sent
back to tho stato whonco ho catno ut tho

tho district court or Judge. It further pro
vides that persons who nro coming Into tho
stato or going from ono county to another
who nre county charges or nre likely to be
come such may bo prevented from ncqulr
Ing n settlement by the authorities of the
county or township In which such persons
nro found, warning them to depart there
from. After such a wurnlng had been given
such person cannot acquire n scttcmcnt pro
vided notices nro served annually.
A resolution was adopted calling tho at
tention of township authorities throughout
the country to the law In tho matter and
directing that samo bo observed rigidly
and tho proper notices filed with the county
auditor.
The board effected Its settlement with
County Recorder Smith and agreed to allow
him J000 for a llrst assistant and $350 tor a
second nsslstant for this year, provided that
the fees of his ofllco wero nutTlclcnt to pay
these salatlcs as well as thoso of himself
and doputy. To cover nil these salaries tho
fees will have to nmount to J3,Gf0.

Nlitutloii, NEW YOKK, Feb. 0. Senntor Vest of
Missouri Is quoted by the Washington cor
respondent ot thu Trlbunu as saying ot the
Cuban situation:
"Undoubtedly wo huvo no moro right or
power to amend tho Cuban constitution by
uct of congress than wo would hnvo to do
so with tho constitution of Kmnco or nny
other foreign country. Wo nre estopped
from this hoth by the Toller resolution and
tho decision of the supreme court In tho
Neely case, declaring Cuba to bo n foreign
country. When. the Cubans ndopt their con
stitution nnd form their government wo nro
solemnly pledged to glvo them absolute nnd
completu Independence. Thcro is no wny of
our getting around this, even If wo wanted
to, oven If tho law directs us what to do.
After wo hnve turned Cuba over to the
Cubans, wo then must become tho protector
of their country. We must sny to all tho
world: 'Hands oft whllo Cuba Is working
out for Itself tho problem of self-government.'
"I confidently believe thnt after tboy
strugglo awhile with the tremendous
problem of self-government they will glvo
It up nnd seek annexation to tho United
States. For years I huvc been convinced
thut this Is tho ultimate destiny of Cubn,
Wo wolcotned tho Spnnlsh war us n means
for hastening this end. 1 ngreo with the
suggestion of Mr. Jefferson, mndo nearly 100
years ago, thnt wo need Cuba to round our
territorial domain."
On tho question of the debt placed upon
tho Cuban revenues lu tho Inst days ot
SpanlBh sovereignty Mr. Vest snld;
"I suppose that debt will have to bo dis
charged nftcr things get settled In Cuba.
Hut probably this can ho done by arbitra
tion. Under no circumstances, however,
should this' country bo held ns security for
that debt."

Too Much
A Prominent New York Spcclalisl
Says Hundreds of People Kill
Themselves by Ovcr-naliiif and
Not Paying Enough Attention
to the Pood They Eat and to
the Condition of Theirnowels.
When Interviewed laBt wrck one of the
New York specialists tnndo the follow Ing
statement:
"Everyone cats too much. Tho habitual
eating of moro wholesome food than the
stomach cnu digest Irritates and excites the
stomach nnd causes many stomach troubles,
such as gastritis, gastric catarrh, dyspep
sia and Indigestion. Of course thrro hto
other causes tor theso diseases, such us tho
use of alcohol, the excessive uso ot tea or
coffee, eating nt Irregular hours, eating too
rapidly und Imperfectly chewing the food.
Ninety per cent of tho population of this
country suffer from stomnch trouble nnd
75 per cent of the ninety suffer from In
digestion, If anyone has thnt uncomfortable
feeling In the stomach, n hradacho or u
feeling ot repression, ho should at onco take
a traspoonful of Cascarlnu, which will move
his bowels and relieve bliu at ouce. If any
one suffers from Indigestion und gas on the
stomach, he should take Caicarlne, the
gentlo and plruslnt Uxatlvc, which I use In
my practice and which Is rrcomnirndrd by
thousands ot peoplo who have lined It, It
you cannot sleep at night, If you nro rest
less nnd have palpatatlon nt the heart, which
usually leads one to believe he hns brart
disease when In reality It Is nothing more
than accumulation ot gas In tho stomach,
you should tako n tenspoonful of Cnscarlno
beforo retiring nnd ntter continuing for u
work you will find you nro troubled no moro
and can sleep well and sound.
It your tonguo Is contrd nnd you find a
bad taste In your mouth your stomach Is
out of order and requires Casrarino to put
It In shape. You must not rnt loo much
nnd you must huvo your meals regular nnd
cnt well-cooked food. There uro many
remedies, dlgestlvo ferments, digestive tnb
lets, inlncrnl waters nnd thousands of other
so-called cures, but all havo to be taken
constantly In order to do any good nnd after
using for a tlmo becomo worthless. Cns
carlno Is Buporlor to all others. It stimu
lates tho liver, moves from the stomnch all
Impurities, nnd acts as n tonic on the wholo
system.
Mothers should bo careful not to uso nny
other lnxatlvo for tho children and tho
houso-wifo who has n bottle close at hand
ready to ubo when necessary will find It
Is tho most economical thing she ever
bought. When you nsk for Cnscarlno nt
your druggist's be suro you get Cnscarlno
(which cornea In bluo and whlto wrappers)
nnd not cheap tablets or pills, Insist on
Cnscarlno nnd If your druggist hasn't It
ask him to get It for you of his Jobber.
