DROWNED YOUTH IDENTIFIED
Ilody or Cnrl Stimcr In TnKcn Hack n
Home in Lincoln After
Influent.
The young man drowned while bathing
Saturday evening at Manhattan beach, Lake (
Manawa, was Identified yestorday morning
as Carl Stoncr, son of Henry S. Stoner,
a contractor living at 1009 Washington
street:, Lincoln, Ncb by O. J. Wilcox, a
rrlend of tho family. Mr. Wilcox came to
Council niuffs In place of tho father, who
was unable to leave home, and accompanied
the body back to Lincoln last evening.
Coroner Troynor held an Inquest over the
romaius yesterday morning, A. M. non
ham, Charles Armour and J. W. Dell com
prising tho Jury. The evidence of three
witnesses, employes at Lake Mnnawa, was
j taken and tho Jury returned a verdict that
young Stoncr was accidentally drowned
! while bathing. Tho testimony of tho wit
I ncBses Indicated thnt the young man had
evidently been seized with cramps while
swimming,
C. K, Woolman, manager at the Manhat
tan beach bathhouse, testified that he had
seen young Stoner about 6 o'clock Saturday
evening and that he had remarked a pe
culiar expression on his face. He had seen
him later lying on some boards under the
dock. C. R. Martin, another employe at
tho bathhouse, had seen tho young man
lying on a bargo between 7 and 8 o'clock.
Stoner, he said, rode out on tho barge,
which was being hauled across the lake,
nnd swam back and lay down under tho
dock for an hour. Tho young man told
Martin that he had had a cramp In his heel
while swimming In from the barge. He told
Martin ho guessed he would take one moro
dlvo and then go In. This was tho last
Martin saw of him.
Edward T. Wright said hp was sent be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock Saturday evening
to tow tho bargo across tho lake. Stoner
was lying on It and ho rodn out into ths
lake about twenty-two yards or so and
dropped off the stern and began to swim for
tho shoro. When Wright last saw tho
young fellow ha was about 100 feet from tho
shoro.
Young Stoner was only 17 years old, but
unusually large and woll built for that
ago. When tho body was taken out of the
water Sunday evening, covered as It was
with sand, It had tho appearance of that
of u young man nbout 25 years old. It
seems that young Stoncr had a fondness
for running away from homo and had
caused his parents much anxiety and ex
ponse In consequence. Ho left his homo
In Lincoln Thursday and went to Wahoo.
Ho is supposed to havo left Wahoo either
Friday or Saturday.

(From a Staff Correspondent )
DES MOINES, Aug. 12. (Special ) A
meeting of the executive committee of the
Iowa Insurance Educational association
was held In Des Moines today. Those pres
ent at the meeting were: W. M. Black. Des
Moines, president; V, L. West, Cedar Rap
ids, secretary; E. S. Phelps, Burlington, and
A. A. Clark, W. D. Skinner, John Berry
and C. W. Fracltcr of Des Moines. This as
sociation Is for the purpose of looking after
fire Insurance matters for tho Iowa In
surance companies. One particular object
Is to maintain a lobby to work against
any bill like "the valued policy bill," which
was Introduced at tho last session and only
prevented from becoming a law by the veto
of Governor Shaw, The association will
employ a press agent to look after the
newspapers and furnish them with material
favorable to the Insurance companies nnd
will employ and maintain the strongest kind
of a lobby at the legislature next winter.
The meeting today was preliminary to en
gaging In this work In a formal way.
.o Old Soldier' Day.
Inquiries commenced to come In to tho
office of the assistant adjutant general for
Ioa concerning tickets for soldiers for
tho soldiers' day at the State fair, when
tho fact was disclosed that the board has
decided not to havo a soldiers' day at tho
State fair this year. This Is the first time
In many years that the fair management has
not provided for a special day for tho
soldiers and there Is much disappointment
among the old soldiers on this account,
Tho officials of tho fair stnte that last
year, while there was a day for the old
soldiers, they did nothing nnd never called
their meeting to order. Hence they will
try It one year without nn old soldiers'
day. In fact, It has been found almost Im
possible to prevent misuse of the old sol
diers' tickets. In former years they worn
distributed through Grand Army or tho
Republic posts. There was objection to
this method rrom those old soldiers who
aro not members of the grand army.
Commander Mctzgar haB mado protest
against the dropping of tho soldiers' day,
but the program Is made up and cannot
now bo changed.
Track l.nlntc at lotra Fall.
Track laying on the Des Moines, Iowa
Falls & Northern railroad Is reported as
progressing nicely nt Iowa Falls. The
Globo Construction company has the work
In charge and has hired an Illinois Centrat
engine and crew to handle tho business.
This has given rise to tho story thnt tho
road Is In fact an Illinois Central branch,
but this Is denied and the truth will prob
ably not be known until tho line Is turned
over by the contractors for operation. A
large forco Is at work all along the routo
toward Des Moines.
After Grand l.odgre lleniliinnrter.i,
A largo delegation of Knights of Pythias
left Des Moines this morning for Cedar
Knplds, where an effort will be made to
capture the permanent headquarters of the
grand lodge, If this matter Is finally do
termlned at Cedar Rapids Des Moines will
stand a good show of landing the prize.
Polk county has no candidates and will
ask for nothing hut the location, Cedar
Rapids, Waterloo, Des Moines nnd Mar
shalltown are the other candidates.
PronecntliiR Butter Offender.
The State Dairy Commission has
prosecuted a number of offenders
against tho law prohibiting sales of oleo
margarine Two persons, named Peterson
of Ottumwn, wero found to be engaged In
selling tho prohibited article and were ar
rested. They gave bonds, Intending to
permit tho bonds to apply as fines and
this will be done. John Reaves of Agency
was arrested for the same offense. He is
a butcher and the case is clear against
him. Ho was bound over to tho grand
Jury, as he has announced his Intention of
fighting the case.

every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the Ideal
laxative.
In th-s process of manufacturing figs
