to Dr. Kdward VVomorsloy was the next wit
ness. Ho stated that ha bad iniulo the post
mortem examination yesterday , assisted by
Dr. Kulpli. They found a small ' .vouiul over
the bridge of the nose , which had evidently
been imulo by a shnru Instrument. In nildi *
tlon to this there wcro nine wounds made by
some projectile. The llrst was on the right

tipper chest were necessarily fatal. The fatal
wound was in the lo.vor chest , passing
r ) throuuh the diaphrugm and the liver , and
fractured the lumbar rartcbric , lodging in
the ubdomlnal cavity.
This witness also testified to having been
called to HOO the man soon after
tbo Hhootlng occurred , and found him
conscious but apparently under the in-
lluenco of liquor. Sometimes it seemed
that the man realized lib condition , but the
greater part of the ilmo his talk was ram
bling. Ulio immediate cause of death was
homorrhago. This was caused by the bullet
wounds. The bull which hud dropped from
the dead man's clothes was Idontillcd.
Howard Green , n hotel waiter , testified
that he was in the saloon both before and
( luring the sbootluir , and witnessed most of
it. The llrst ho smv of the trouble was when

as though to strike Bowman , Ho had a
loniMiladH knife if. his left hand , being a
Icft-handcu man. Tlio hlado was about tureo
or four Inches long , was slender und sharp
ened on both sides. It was u pocket. It info
but had a blade like n dirk. When Kiunoy
made this move at How man , 'Inn stepped
back out of reach , but Klnney kept lunging
ut him nnd making moves as thouch to
jump over tno bar , and 13owman
Kriiuhud a pistol and fired at him.
Uowmun jumped down from the bar
nnd ran around | the screen to got at
ttowman , who llred nt him < ignln. The
witness did not rotnomb.-r how many times
liowman shot at Kinnoy. Hn also stated
that lie had seen the knife In Kinnoy's hand
before the shooting , and boforn he asked for
tba dollar. It wiis closed tl. n , but whoa ho
jumped upon the bnr it was open.
John Wright , liowman's partner , was
called. Ha lostiflPd that Bowman had asked
him a'mnnbcr of times to order Klnney to
stav away from the suloou , as ho was afraid
ot him. Klnney hud n reputation of being a
ouarrolsomo man , who was always in
trouble. Ho had had several quarrels in
their Hiiloon , but had never bad a light there.
His evidence concerning tbo shooting was
substantially..the name ns the previous
witnesses ? . Tnn shot five times and ran
iiround the bar and kicked Kinney several
times , alter which ho took him by the log

THAT HOSI'lTAIj FUND.
Tlic Hmploycn Oppose lt Incranso
nnd AInko Grnvo Insinuations.
The intention of the Union I'aclfla com-
> any to Increase the monthly nsscssn-cnt of
U employes for the hospital fund , an nocount
of which was published In Tun BUB of Mon
day , has aroused considerable feeling among
the men. Considerable ) opposition bos al
ready boon developed. A largo number of the
imploycs were soon yesterday , and In every
tut an co the increase was regarded an un
warranted. The opinion prevails that the
company has used more or less of Its hospi
tal fund to apply on payments of damages In
cases of personal Injuries. Ono of tlio men
said : "It docs not seem at all probahlo or
tussiblo , that , with nt least fl.OOU pouring
nto the fund monthly , a ahortugo , to the ox-
.cnt which the otllclnls state , could
iiivo resulted. There must bo
some underhand work going on ,
Wo number about 17,000 men. Our nssess-
mont aggregates 3l,2oO per month. If , with
this amount thcro bo an insufficiency , then I
must confess that I Know but little ns
regards the cost of malntalng a department
of this kind. Yes , all tbo employes to a
man are opposed to It nnd I think that
bcforo they will submit to the increase the
company will have to produce figures to
show that the finances have not been
misused. "
Ono of the officials , with reference to the
matter .said : "No , tlio company has not used
a dollar of the hospital fund for uuy purpose
other than for which it Is created , No
damages for personal injuries have been paid
> ut of this fund , nnd , when an employe was
njurcd In away Unit his wages wcro allowed
M accumulate during bis dllability , tbo
alter have been paid by the company , and
.ho money was nut taken out of the hospital
Fund for that purpose. It requires
considerable money to keep this depart
ment up. We have nil hospital
of our own at Ogdcn and nt Denser and luwo
contracts with hospitals at Omaha , Kansas
City and I.nrnmio. Since the Institution \vns
organized , wo have Increased its benefits.
Of course , the salary of the railway sur-
rcons Is taken out of tlio hospital fund. I
lave no doubt but that the company or the
officials In charge of the fund will bo willing
to furnish any statement regarding the dis
position of the sumo that may bo desired. * '
It U stated that the disposition of the fund
s entrusted to General Manager Klmbull ,
Auditor Young nnd O. J. IMolffor , chief sur
geon of the company , whoso headquarters
ire in Denver , i'li'o latter Is the principal of
the three , inasmuch as ho authorizes the
expenditures.

The opening exorcises of the Omaha Med
ical collcgo toolr plnco last nl ht , nnd this
morning ntO o'clock nt least fifty matricu
lants will , with bntnd breath , answer divers
questions regarding their abilities to become
physicians.
The oxcrcUot were of a very Interesting
character , despite the fact that no subjects
were dlisoctcd nnd no Interesting frtn.lt * ot
nature preserved In nlcohol exhibited ,
A largo number of embryo physicians
of both sexes mingled with
score of old practitioners nnd
; miseit Iho time nway gazing nt n skeleton
suspended by n string near Iho doorway of
the faculty room , nnd awaited develop
ments.
At 8 o'clock the portal swung onon on Its
tilngcs , nnd , preceded by Dr. LcUcnrlng ,
Hoy. William J , Ilnrsha und Mayor Droalch ,
n half dozen physicians entered nnd seated
themselves around the lecturer's desk.
Dr. Lelsonrlng , on bolntlf of the faculty ,
extended to nil present n hearty welcome ,
nnd Introduced Hoy. Mr. Harsrm , who of
fered prayer. When ho hnd concluded Mayor
Uroatch made a few remarks regarding too
dulics and nullities of physicians and sur
geons , nnd then the snooker of the evening ,
Dr. Macrae , of Council Bluffs , was Intro
duced.
Dr. Macrae's address was of a very inter
esting character aud is In substance as
follows :
"Ladles nnd Gentlemen I doslro to con
gratulate the faculty of the Omaha Medical
college upon the Interest manifested In its
affairs , which dr.uvs together no largo un
audience upon the evening of Its opening
exorcises. There nro many now things to bo
learned regarding mbdlciuo ; there are now
points , now theories uud now methods. All
require explanation , beeauto all are the re
sult of actual pructlco and huvo been dis
covered only by tbo closest of observation.
Tboy uro tbo result of the keen
foresight of the many thousand
practitioners who ro over on
the ulcrt to diRcovor something new iu tlio
Interest of humanity , and who are glad to
embrace any nnd all valuable Ideas outsldo
the set doctrines of those who rllug to the
policy advanced by their forcfulhcrn with n
persistency that brooks no denial ; that is
unwilling to admit that nothing new is
valuable or serviceable.
"Medical science is progressive ; It will
progress until it ranks alongside Iho other
science * ! . As yet it is in its incipieiicy , nnd
yet it m fur ahead of the century wo have
left uohlml. It has been divorced from
theology und superstition , and to-day the
enlightened portion of earth's ' people
no longer believe in tire claims of a priest
hood who , by mcnntatlnn , sought to cure all
the evils the flesh wnvholr to. Thcro was n
time when disease was bolluved to bu a Di
vine aflliction , and one that could be obvi-
nted by Divine power nlono. The old
Egyptian priests visited the abodes of the
sick , not m the person ' of physicians , but as
wonder workers. 13ut'nt last the two , medi
cine and theology , worq separated. Finally
It was determined that ) health was tho.nor-
nial and disease thQ.jbnorm\l ! condition of
the body , and that ] the latter was the viola
tion of nature's laws in some respect. From
thence medical science has prngresncd , but
yet there Is much to ue'leurned. Some men
still believe that bupplicuuoii will work
wonders , und that faith doctors can work
marvelous cures.
" I3ut the proper use nnd practice of tnod-
icino depends uporl'the careful warning of
the student and tliu careful observation of
tno practitioner. I profess to teach medicine ,
but I cannot describe it thoroughly. lean
unly lay the foundation , the structure must
bo erected by yourselves. You must learn
yourselves at I ho bodsiuo of the sick. "

llrnbik luSulcldo.
Chnrlci Ilrabik. n Bohemian living nt Gib
son , committed suicide yesterday nftcrnoon
about 4 o'clock by Bhootlnjr himself lu the
region of the heart with a shotgun. Coroner
Diexol was at once notified and hastened to
the scene. A jury was empanelled and a
verdict returned of suicide.
It was learned that Ilrabik , who wus
about twenty-three years of age , was Injured
about n yeat ago by falling across n foncu ,
resulting in a stricture of the urothrn.
Ho bud consulted physicians on the subject
and received encouragement , but ho neg
lected treatment. Lately ho hud been ex
periencing considerable trouble from the
injury and hnd announced his intention of
Hilling ) iim clf If ho did not soon recover.
Again he was encouraged to pursue u course
of treatment , but neglected to do so. Yes
terday his young wito came up town to sum
mon u physician , nnd upon her return homo
found tlio door locked. She went
after her mother , nnd wncn they returned
to the liouso the physician was tboro. The
wife pushed the door open and the llrst sight
which met her horrified irazo was the dead
body of nor husband lying on tlio floor with
the shotgun busldo nlin. The physician nt
once locKed the door and bunt for Iho
coroner.
Ilrabik was married about four months
ago , and his wife is a pretty young woman
about no von teen years old. Her grief is
uncontrollable.
Something to ftcmomiior.

wus , if anythinir , moro thoroughly enjoyed
than on Its llrst presentation. The actors
seemed to bo in better spirits , were full
of lifo , carried their respective parts along
with dash and vigor , and gave nt excellent
performance. Ono cannot help fccllnir hot
ter pleased with the play after seeing It a
second time and following each point made
in the dialogue. ltn brightest feature Is the ,
love scone between Mr. Lane , tlio LinstOn
luw.vcr , and Mlns Maud AdiuiiH , who
sustains the part of the minister's
sister , and they play it magnificently.
Taking Into consideration the fact that filio
