Death Dae to Heart Kallnre.

In Indian creek Sunday morning, the Jury
brought In a verlct to the effect that
death resulted from heart failure Induced
by exposure. James Q. Bradley, D. Maltby
and W. J. Berrlnger comprised the Jury.
Tho principal witness was E. S. Fegley,
who so for as is known was the last
person to see Stelnbaugh alive. He testi
fied to being with Stelnbaugh Saturday
night and that he left him at Broadway
and Eighth street, where the witness took
a car for home. -Stelnbaugh, according to
Fegley, was somewhat under the Influence
of liquor, but : was not what could ba
termed drunk. Before parting they took
a drink together from a bottle which the
witness had. Stelnbaugh drew $16.25 pay

see him spend any of It, although only $12
was found on Stelnbaugh.
Dr. M. A. Tlnley testified as to making
a post mortem examination of the remains
and finding no traces of violence. He
gave It as his opinion that death was due

ulants and exposure.

Grain for More Than Value of .
W hat Was In the Elevator
t the Time.
All that remained yesterday morning of
the large Union elevator at the fnlon
Pacific transfer was a mass of smouldering
ruins and regular mountains of burning
grain. No. 1 company of the city fire de
partment remained on duty all of yes
terday and, assisted by a number of the
rallroud employes, kept water pouring on
the burning grain. It Is expected that
the grain will continue to smoulder for
several dors.
Insurance men who visited the scene of
the fire yesterday expressed the opinion
that there would be considerable sulvago
from the grain. The building was In
sured for $W,500, the risk being divided
among forty-nine companies. The Horn
of New York and the L'nlon of London
carried each $5,000, while two other com
panies carried $3,500 euch, the remainder
being divided in amounts of $l,(JO0.
The total Insurance on the grain was
$270,000 this being an over Insurance of
$30,000, as considerable grain had been
shipped out In the lust few days, and It
was Intended to have cancelled policies to
this amount yesterday. Including the $30,
ooo 'over Insurance, It Is estimated there
will be a salvage of about 20 per cent.
The elovator was built In 1881 by the
Union Elevator company, Incorporated the
preceding year and composed of the Bur
lington, the Rock Island, the Milwaukee,
the Northwestern, the Wabash and the
Union Pacific Railroad companies. It was
constructed by J. A. Murphy of Council
Bluffs, under the supervision of George
F. Wright, who for several years had
charge of the elevator. Its' original cost
was $200,000. It Is said that It will not be
rebuilt, as It has never paid satisfactory
dividends on tho Investment.
Last year about $30,000 was expended in
remodelling the Interior of. the elevator
and new machinery was Installed.

Lady Attendant If Desired,
WILL NOT ENFORCE HEALTH ORDER
Bonrd of Education Declines to Ex
clude Pupils from School.
It Is now up to the Board of Health to
enforce It order requiring all teachers
and pupils of the public schools who have
not been effectively vaccinated within the
lost seven years to be vaccinated or de
barred from school. The Board of Edu
cation at a special' meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, after a prolonged discussion, de
cided that It would not assume the re
sponsibility of carrying out the Board of
Health's order and debar from attending
school such pupils as have, not been vac
cinated. The board disposed of the question for
the time being by adopting the following
resolution:
That It Is the sense of this board that
It has not the authority to require vac
cination as a prerequisite to attendance
at school and it declines to enforce an
order debarring pupils not vaccinated from
attending the publlo schools of this city.
The meeting was called at the request
of Superintendent Clifford, who asked that
Instructions be given as to what direc
tions he should Issue' to the principals
of the several school buildings In the mat
teras the time set by the Board of Health
In which children had to be vaccinated
expired ou Friday.
Member Tlnley suggested that the board
ought to take hold of one or the other
horns of the dilemma, although he was
of the opinion personally that the Board of
Health had acted somewhat hastily In pro
mulgating such an order as it had, as he
did not believe the smallpox conditions
warranted it. To get an expression from
the other members, he Introduced a reso
lution to the effect that the principals be
directed to require a certificate of vao
clnatlon from each pupil and that such
pupils aa failed to present the required
certificate be debarred from , attending;
school.
To this Member Shugart at once objected
and he stated that he would not vote for
keeping any pupil from school.. "1 cannot
see the use of paying a truant officer $40
a month for hunting up children who keep
away from school and making them at
tend and then for us to pass another rule
keeping them out of school," he said.
President Hess said he was prepared to
vote for the Tlnley resolution provided the
last clause relating to debarring such chil
dren as had not been vaccinated from at
tending school be cut off. Member Weater
dahl suggested that about the best course,
In bis opinion, for the board to pursue
Would be to quietly Ignore the order from
the Board of Health and allow that body
to enforce It if It should see fit to do so.
The discussion developed the fact that
yery few children; proportionately, had
complied with the order and that there
were several teachers who had also re
fused to be vaccinated. It was asserted
that there was evidently more fear of
vaccination than there was of smallpox.
Tlnley'a resolution, on being put to vote,
was lost, three of the members, Tlnley,
Hess and Cooper, voting for It and Wester
dahl, Shugart and Gorman against It.
The resolution declining to assume any
responsibility in enforcing the Board of
Health's order then was adopted by the
unanimous vote of the six members. .

Democrats Make I'p Slate.
The statement was made yesterday by a
well known member of the party that a
slate had been fixed up for the democratic
school convention to be. held Thursday
night, and Indications were that it met
with general favor and would be pulled
through, probably without opposition. The
slate is the nomination of Harry A. Searle,
secretary and treasurer of the Monarch
Manufacturing company; Charles A. Beno
of the firm of John Beno A Co., and W.
Ia Butler, local freight agent of the Mil
waukee railroad. It is stated, however,
that some of the rank and file object to a
alate being made up In advance of the con
vention and that other candidates will be
brought before the meeting Thursday night.
Friends of Dr. C. II. Bower are urging his
nomination and residents "of the eastern
part of the city are Insisting that they be
given repreaentatton on the ticket.

Tranafer Terminal stock.
It Is reported on excellent authority,
though confirmation Is lacking because
of the absence of F. M Hubbell In Texas,
that the Chicago, Milwaukee 4k St. Paul
road has acquired a large block of the
stock of the Den Moines Union railroad
and that this holding, while considerably
less than a majority, is the second largest
holding In the corporation, that of Mr.
Hub'iell being the. largest.
The purchase of this stock by the Mil
waukee road Is assigned as a reason for
11 dropping utgolUUuna for acreage prop
erty In Des Moines upon which to build
a terminal to supplement Its Des Moines
Union service.

AN UNKNOWN MAN.
Holllngsworth was blown out of the
building Into the street by an explosion.
It is fear&d that several others lost
their lives, but this Is not definitely known.
A man who was seen at a window fell back
Into the flames.
The fire started from spontaneous com
bustion and spread so rapidly that the
firemen were powerless. Several explosions
followed each other In rapid succession,
throwing sparks all over the city and
threatening other property.
At 10:15 the fire was still raging fiercely
and there were fears that It would spread
across an eighty-foot street to the two
blocks of frame structures, beyond which
lies the business part of the town. The
firemen, with assistance from a number
of smaller towns, worked with might and
main to confine the fire to tho cereal plant.
Tho plant is built in a triangle at the base
of which is the group of elevator buildings
and boiler houses. At the apex is the group
of mill buildings and more boiler houses.
A street Intersects this trinngle and di
vides the two groups of buildings.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The fire started in the hull grinding
room of one of the elevators and a sheet
of flame enveloped that structure. In ten
minutes more the flames had orossed the
avenue to the mill group of buildings and
the firemen were powerless to prevent the
spread of the flames In cither direction.
The fire burned northward against tho
wind slowly in the mill group nnd south
ward with the wind in the elevator group
with fearful rapidity. Five-story brick
walls crumbled and fell with a roar heard
for many blocks. Clouds of embers were
driven by a strong wind over an area six
blocks -square, and a largo number of men
with small hose and buckets were drench
ing the roofs of these buildings, while in
the vicinity of the fire there was an exo
dus of families from dozens of houses.
Telegrams for help were sent to the river
cities and smaller towns, but only the
latter have as yet responded. The cereal
mill employs In the neighborhood of 800
people.
At midnight the flames were under con
trol. A portion of the mill group of build
ings was saved and tho fire was confined
to the cereul plant. The surrounding
buildings were on fire several times, but
the Are was extinguished.
WRECK ON ELEVATED ROAD
Narrow Escape from Frla;btful Acci
dent In Chicago Reaulta In
One Fatality.
CHICAGO, March 7. Overturning high In
the air, on the Lake street elevated rail
road today, a passenger coach with eighty
persons aboard escaped being dashed to the
granite pavement below. One women was
pinioned ou the tracks within a few Inches
of the deadly electric third rail and though
Anally extricated alive. Is fatally Injured.
Forty other passengers were injured, but
not seriously. ,
The upset was caused by the car missing
a switch. The car was part of an accom
modation train which runs from the Canal
street station of the elevated road to
Madison street and Market. At Market and
Lake streets the train consisting of two
coaches was turning south and the first
car had passed over the switch safely. The
trucks of the second car missed and
kept going foreward in Lake street The
power was on the first car. Not until the
screams of passengers and the crash of
glass were heard did the motorman know
of the accident. Instantly the power was
shut oft and the results were confined to
the overturning of the second car which
fell on Its side across the tracks.
Miss Judith Strom of Austin, Ills., fell
out of a window and rolled under the heavy
trucks of the second cor which held her
shoulders to the truck close by the full
charged third rail. The screams of the un
fortunate woman could be heard for more
than a block. A crowd of hundreds of
people gathered horror stricken while the
train crew and police worked to rescue
Miss Strom nnd the other passengers.
The police were at times forced to use
their clubs In forcing the spectators back.
Pieces of glass and debris were continually
falling from the structure and the police
feared those In the crowd might be injured.
One passenger nnmed J. P. Henry had a
particularly narrow escape from death.
Henry was standing on the front platform
of the second coach. When the car was
turning he was pitched out. His body
struck the elevated structure and he was
rolling off into the street below when he
grasped a rail and clung suspended above
the street until a fireman raised a ladder
and carried htm down.
