had developed from a small inhiry to Ills

Is survived by his wife, one daughter and
two sons. The daughter resides at F.verest.
Wash., and the sons are at home In CrcB
ton. They came to this city yesterday In
answer to a telegram and arrived after
the body had been removed to Woodrina's
undertaking establishment. They returned
to Creston with the body last night.
Mr. Kunath's ease of blood poisoning was
caused by getting a splinter In one of his
fingers some time ago. He had been suf
fering several weeks from the effects of
the poison and began to loose the use ot
his limbs. Mr. Kunath was a paint and
paper dealer and it is thought some of
the poisonous matter from the paints he

Severely with Clnba.
James Thompson, who resides at Broad
way and Hunter avenue, in the northeast
ern part of the city, was assaulted by two
of his neighbors and so badly beaten that
It was necessary to call the police am
bulance and take him to Mercy hospital.
The assault occurred at ti:30 last evening.
Thompson Is unmarried and lives alone In
little shack. He was called to his door
by two boys, neither of whom Is over 17
years of age, and viciously attacked. One
used a pitchfork handle and the other a
billy. They beat the man Into a state
Insensibility before they desisted and then
went away and left him. Shortly after
he was found by Robert Budatx, South
Omaha packing house superintendent, on
his way home from business. He notified
the police station and the officers there
sent Dr. Benjamin to care for him. The
physician found him to be so badly In
Jured that he called the ambulance and
sent him to, Mercy hospital. He was not
In a condition to tell Captain Bhafer the
names of his assailants. Many severe cuts
were found about his head and bruises on
his body but the hospital people said last
night that no serious results were feared
The provocation for the assault Is not

the city street cleaning gang for several
years., He . Is known to be eccentric and
the possessor of a very bad temper, which

Harry C. Irvine died at Mercy hospital
at an early hour yesterday as the result
of Injuries received three hours' previous
while In the discharge of his duties as
switchman In the local yards of the Rock
Island railroad. Irvine was found by the
side of the tracks at one of the coal chutes
crushed and unconscious. No one saw the
accident and the Injured man never re
gained consciousness sufficiently to make
a' statement. One arm and one leg were
crushed and Injuries Inflicted upon his
chest that were fatal. H Is believed that
he fell between the cars by a mistake.
Mr. Irvine, was 27 years old and resided
with his young wife at 1312 Beventh avenue
He bad been in the employ of the company
for a long time and was one of Its most
faithful and competent men. Besides his
wife he Is survived by his mother, Mrs.
H. Hubbard, who resides In Kansas City,
his Ister, Mrs. Mamie Kugle, living at
Llnwood, Kan. ,and bis brother who lives
In Council Bluffs. The body was taken
to Cutler's to be prepared for the funeral,

With the three republican candidates for

or a caucus has been started agmn. ana
Is being urged by the friends of Ftlnk. As
et no definite plans have been laid, but
utslde pressure Is being brought" to effect
an agreement of some kind.
Tax Ferret Hill Favored.
it Is now regarded as practically certain
that a bill will pass the legislature repeal
ing the law entire as to tax ferrets, such
bill has been favorably recommended to
he house and will be adopted. The senti
ment In the state is strong against per
mitting tax ferrets to further harass the
owners of large amounts of personal prop-
rty, because there Is a belief that this
Is one reason why the state Is being de
populated. Bills to abolish taxes on mon-
ys and credits will have harder sledding,
hough If the latter was adopted the for
mer would be unnecessary.
llorirakoe I, lens Not Legalised.
The senate today refused to consider fur
ther the bill of Uarnett to give the black
smith a lien on a horse for the shoes he has
placed on the animal. The bill woufd also
give a lien on a wagon or other Implement
or vehicle for repairs. The bill was post
poned.
Board of Health Change.
Although two years ago there was great
agitation for the passage of a bill to ef
fect a complete change In the state board
of health, and to aubstltute a commis
sion of three on salary for the large board
on a per delm basis, yet this year the
same measure Is opposed by persons who
were formerly for It. The senate com
mittee undertook to have a hearing on the
bill, which Is being urged by at least one
member of the state board of health, but
failed to reach any agreement.
Stands by New Orleans.
The house stood firm In Its admiration
for New Orleans as the proper place for
the canal exposition and refused by a vote
of 66 to 35 to agree to the change made
by the senate substituting San Francisco.
This will end the matter as there will
probably be no further effort to Instruct I
the Iowa delegation.. - .
The house passed a bill by (xtunsberry to
straighten out the law In regard to collec
tion ef fees by county clerks. The senate
passed four bills of minor Importance. One
will permit courts to send boys to Jail In
stead of the penitentiary for uttering
forged Instruments. Another legalises the I
instruments transferring titles to land
where made by a corporation and the seal
has been left off. Another legalised certain
acts of the Ottumwa town council. The
other requires that ball forfeiture money
go to the county in which the Indictment
was found.
