Yesterday , Just before the dawn of a
perfect spring day , Samuel Thcodoro dlcl In
his room at the Ogdcn house from the effects
of an overdose of morphia , administered by
his own hand.
Mr. Thcodoro was a highly respected and
well known resident of Council muffs , the
pioneer rll dealer of western Iowa and for
the past eight years manager of the Standard
OH company's plant In this city. Mr Theo
dore had been suffering from 111 health for
more than a year , and hod rccsntly arranged
Ms business to enable him to take a > ear off
In the hope of regaining his health. Ills
trouble has been Insomnia , and for many
months ho had assured his friends that ho
had not slept an average of two hours a
night. Lately ho had resorted to the use of
morphia , and had been taking the drug In
constantly Increasing doses In the shape of
quarter-grain capsules. Friday night he pur
chased a quantity of the capsules at DC
Haven's drug store , and chatted with the
clerk about the danger of taKIng an over
dose. The early part of Sunday evening he
spent with friends and acquaintances and re
turned to the hotel about 11 o'clock. Several
hours vvcro sucnt In chatting with late ar
rivals and frequenters In the rotunda of the
hotel. He complained of severe pains In his
head and the torturing agony of sleepless
ness. He remained In the corridor until 3
o'clock jestorday morning , and then picking
up The Sunday Ileo ho repaired to his room
with the remark that he would endeavor to
read himself to sleep.
This was the last seen of him until 1 30
o'clock yesterday afternoon , when the bell
boy went to his room to see why ho had not
appeared for dinner The door was locked ,
and , climbing up to the transom , the boy
observed the rigid , silent body on the bed
and reported to the office that something
was wrong. The door was locked on the in-
sldo and the hotel people lifted a bell boy
over the transom. The first glance at the
pallid face Indicated that the man had been
dead for several hours ,
EVIDENTLY ACCIDENTAL.
The coroner was notified and took charge of
the remains and the effects In the room.
Several small boxes were found on his bu
reau bearing morphine labelb One of them
contained a few quarter-grain capsules.
Thcro was very little to indicate whether
the overdose of the drug that had caused
death had been taken by accident or design ,
although the universal opinion of his friends
and acquaintances , who were thoroughly fa
miliar with his habits and condition , Is
that It was unquestionably accidental. It
was evident that the overdobc had b3cn taken
shortly after retiring to his room. At 1
o'clock Mrs. Hentlcy , wife of one of the pro
prietors of the hotel , whose rooms are near
that occupied by Mr. Theodore , was awak
ened by hearing groans. When s > he became
full > aroused she located the bounds as com
ing from the unfortunate man's room. Her
husband , John Ilentley , was suffering from
an attack of sick headache , and she wa
loth to awoken him. She was on the point
of doing so , however , when the sounds cease 1
and she droppe.l asleep again. Coroner Jen
nings made a thorough Investigation of the
room , but found nothing to throw any more
light on the manner of death than the empty
morphine boxes and the unmistakable signs
of morphine poisoning indicated. He deter
mined , however , to hold an Inquest this
morning.
Mr , Theodore was fi2 years old and han
been a resident of Council llluffs for nearly
twenty years. Ho established here the first
wholesale oil house In the western part of
the state , long before the Standard entered
the field , and after making a financial suc
cess of It old out to the Standard company.
There arc few men In the city who have had
a brighter or better business record than he.
Ho was married and leaves a wife and one
child , a little girl 8 years old. Last fall
Mrs. Theodoie went south for her health
and has spent the winter In New Orleans.
She and her husbind had made arrange
ments to take a trip to Europe and were to
have started May 1. She has been com
municated with by wire and will reach the
city at the earliest possible moment.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
been completed , but It Is likely that the
body will bo burled here. In conversations
with his friends Thcodoro frequently In
dicated a dread that ho might sometime
accldontly take an overdose of morphine ,
and a short time ago ho told the Jewish
pastor , Mr. Ilrarls , that If anything should
over happen to him ho desired to bo burled
In the Jewish cemetery.
Mr. J. W. Smith , from the Standard com
pany's main office In Omaha , came over
yesterday afternoon and took charge of the
office and will continue to be the local
manager. Ho says Mr. Theodore's business
was In the best of shape.

That William Ilrown is not chasing the
Jabber\vock and the bandersnatch In the
happy limiting.grounds at this moment Is
not duo to any neglect on hlb part , but to
the fact of his pobbcsslng a digestion that Is
proof against pounded window glass. Wil
liam has been In jail for six months for
shooting n colored man named Harvey
Washington , and a couple of weeks ago ho
hud his trial before Judge Smith and was
found guilty. With a term of perhaps ten
years In the penitentiary staring him In the
face ho determined that life was not worth
living and ho courted death.
All Sunday afternoon the prisoners at the
county jail were uncommonly noisy and
Sheriff Huzcn suspected that something was
In the wind About S o'clock In the evening
ho heard so" < ral hard thumps from the
Interior of tlu jail and ran outskle the jail
and looked In nt one of the wlndans to ECO
what was the cause. Some of the prl oncrt >
who had been stationed at the windows to
watch RIIVO the alarm to their comrades and
the thumping stopped. An Investigation
fallowed that Ilrown , Wilson , "tho overcoat
thief , and Kldd , the llcno buiglar , had
broken In pieces a heavy wooden bench anil
wcro using the two-Inch plank which had
formed the seat , as a battering' ram. They
had already broken out two of the heavy
chilled steel bars separating the cells from
tin- rear corridor , and worn at work when
dlsr-nvcied trying to break the bars over the
ouUldo window. A fo" minutes mure ami
tlioy would have accomplished their purpose
and a part , If not all , the prisoners would
have been nt liberty.
As soon as it was discovered the prisoners
wnro nil hustled Into their colls. Ilrown being
put In with n man named Scott. Some tlmo
during the night Drown , having obtained
possession of a ra or used by the prisoners ,
gave himself a slash across the left wrist ,
penetrating the flesh to the bone. Ho evi
dently Intended to hit the main artery , but
he missed It about halt an Inch and the
wound stopped bleeding after a time of Its
own'accord. His cell matu found out what
ho had done early yesterday morning ami
told the jailer. After Drown found that ho
was still on earth ho picked up a handful
of pounded window glass and swallowed It
as ho would u handful of sugar
City Physician Macrae was called and ho
gave him some medicine which was Intended
to prevent the window glass from gnawing
holes In the Interior of his anatomy When
Drown took the first dose of the medicine he
ventured the remark tlmt ho wished It was
so muc.li strychnine. "I'd rather go to h 1
than to the pen for ten jeuru , " ho remarked
The opinions of physicians who have been
consulted IH that the dose of powdered glass
will very likely bo the means of closing up
the bomewlmt remarkable career of Drown ,
that the Irritation produced by the partlclen
of b'lusa In their passage through the
stomach and Intcstlnex will produce a fatal
Inflammation despite anything that the medi
cal profession can do to prevent It. l ist
night he was not apparently suffering very
much , but the doctors think hla condition
will bo serious within n few hours , contin
gent , of "oiiree , upon the amount of glass

Opponents of Itir .1 tilgo ! Working to Ddtrojr
I ho Superior Court ,
The personal fight made at election tlmo
against the retention of Judge McCIco upon
the bench , as all know , resulted rather dis
astrously to those who were most hot as
opponents , and as n result In tlio defeat the
republican candidate , though conceded to be
worthy , was sacrificed The opponents of
Judge McOec have not , however , abindoncd
all Iiopp of separating McGco from the wool-
hack. Not being able to pull him off the
bench , they have decided to try to p"U the
HeTTO ! fro.ll under film. Tt * y hope that If
they ran't get rid of McGte they can get rid
of the court , which would bo tonic satis
faction.
In times past thcro 1ms been some differ
ence of opinion us to the p JUluiblilty of
maintaining n superior court In this city ,
some claiming It was n UsclcLS t-id expensive
luxury , while others have contended that It
was an absolute necessity In older to secure
speedy and Inexpensive set'eiunt of litiga
tion. The discussion has of late died down
Into n general acceptance of the conclusion
that the superior court vvn hero to btay
Now , however , an attempt ! . we le to levlvc
the old dissatisfaction nprf to " int > It to
spread , If possible , th's ' attempt bol ig largely
made by those who have apparently JL'st
discovered that the sjpnrlor court is
needlcbs , this discovery being strangely
concurrent with the discovery that a ma
jority of the voters did not enduiae the fight
made on Judge McGec. Creston has a simi
lar court , and has been for some time dis
satisfied with It , for local reasons , and at
Cedar Haplds some dissatisfaction has also
been aroused. The hope Is that by bunching
up all grumbling which can bo gathered
at these two places , and adding the name of
Council muffs , a measure may bo passed In
the legislature abolishing the superior court
sjstem thrughout the state. Then McGce's
occupation will be gone.
It is said that some of Council muffs' citi
zens , who wore zealous in the oppo
sition to McGee , arc pulling some strong
strings at DOS Molncs , and are working con
jointly with the dissatisfied ones of other
cities where the superior court system Is In
vogue. There are very few attornejs In this
city who are not In favor of the superior
court sv stem , and It seems strange that at
this time , and under the prcbcnt circum
stances , the claim should be raised that
thobc becking Its abolishment aio acting In
the Interests of the public , and from purely
philanthropic motives.

A stranger In the city would have seen
very little to Indicate that yesterday was
an election day. If It had not been for a
small part of the ragged element that always
flocks around the polling places on election
day waiting and asking to be bought , the
people of the city might have overlooked the
fact. Aa It was , a great many of them did
overlook It , and an exceedingly light vote
was the consequence. In none of the wards
was there but little more than half the
rcglsteied vole cast. The polls closed at C
o'clock , and at 11 o'clock the count had
progressed far enough to make It certain that
all of the bond propositions , except piobably
two , were defeated by a smashing majority
The only proposition that stood any show
was the one authorising the Hoard of Educa
tion to carry Its own Insurance. This maybe
bo carried by a small majority. The propo
sition to build now school house nt Cut-OIT ,
Involving $2,500was not so unpopular and It
is barely possible that It will carry. At 1
o'clock the count In all the wards but tbe
Third was completed , showing :

There was no excitement at any of the"
polling places at any time , except nt the
Second ward , where U. N. Whlttelsey ac
cused Constable G. H. Uaker of buying or
offering to buy votes. Later In the afternoon
Whlttelsey swore out an Information In the
superior court and Baker was arrested on
the charge. He was taken to the city jail
and released until 10 o'clock this morning on
his own recognl/ance. Ho vehemently denies
the charga , and claims that there was no

The mall received by County Treasurer
need nt this time of year Is not only ex
tremely heavy , but In some cases extremely
amusing. Many property owners evidently
have a high idea of Mr. need's capabilities ,
for they take It for granted ho can by some
special gift of Intuition dtvlno what Is In
their thoughts , but not on paper. Some
simply Inquire what their taxes are , suppos
ing , of course , that so great and good n man
us Heed knows Just where their property Is
located and of what It consists. Others do
not take the trouble to sign their names
or give their postoffico address , for of course
Heed knows all about It. If not , what Is ho
there for ? So numerous have such omissions
been of late that the envelopes are preserved
with religious care , that at least the
postoffico wheio such a letter was mailed
may bo deciphered from the stamp.
Sometimes even this hint of Identifica
tion is too obscure to bo of avail. It Is
fast becoming a Necessity for a county
treasurer to bo a good clairvoyant.
The peculiarity on the part of the taxpaylng
public of allowing the county treasurer to do
lots of guessing Is not confined to those who
do the letter-writing. Yesterday , for In
stance , a lady stepped up to the counter and
Innocently asked , "What are my taxes ? "
She seemed quite surprised that she was not
Immediately recognUed , and that a clerk had
to aek her name , but when ho asked still
further for a description of tlio property on
which she wanted to pay the taxes she fairly
gasped at the Ignorance of the follow.
"I don't know , " she said ; "you've got It ,
though , on your books here. "
The treasurer and his deputies take the
situation qulto good-naturedly , but In the
busy tlmo of year , when there Is a rush of
those eager to dodge penalties , there Is llttlo
time to devote to such amusement , and there
Is naturally a little Irritation.

DCS MOINES , Mnrch 12. ( Special Telegram -
gram to The Dec. ) In tlio senate some
minor amendments to the Carpenter local
option bill uerc adopted , when Senator Hills
( rep ) took the floor In favor of tlio bill. Ho
said : "The prohibitory law lias been n dead
letter In many portions of the state ever
since Its enactment , because the local senti
ment docs not sustain It. For years the
republicans In these sections have come to
the state convention , asking for relief from
tills condition of attain , and our request has
been denied lut ) wo persevered and finally ,
at our last anil grandest convention ever
held by the party , prohibition as n state *
wldo policy was deliberately abandoned , and
It only remains for this legislature to carry
out the expressed will of that convention.
"Tho two propositions contained In that
party pledge arc that prohibition shall bo
maintained where It Is or can bo enforced ,
and other localities given relief from the
unlicensed and unrestricted saloon. It h
now plain that this can only bo done by local
option. In this bill wo have stripped the
saloon of all attractions and allurements ,
and given It the cold , chilling atmosphere
of a prison , and I believe If this measure
becomes a law the number of open saloonn
will be largely reduced , thus promoting the
'cause of temperance and morality '
"Tho sentiment of the people of Iowa ,
Irrespective of party , rails upon us to rise
up In this senate chamber and pass this bill
In the Interests of bobrlety and good gov
ernment. The republican party has never
yet broken Its plighted faith with the people ,
and If that hour has now come when we
must go homo with this pledge unredeemed
the dujs ofrath arc surely upon us and the
people once deceived will trust us no longer. "
Senator Perrln endeavored to bring up a
resubmlsslon resolution , and was supported
by Senator Finn , but Senators Lewis and
Funk objected and said the prohibition reso
lution could not pass until the fate of the
pending bill was decided.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the lower house the morning session
was consumed by a discussion of the Moore
bill requiring all coal operators to pay miners
In full and In lawful money on the Hist
and third Saturday of each month , thus
practically abolishing the "truck stores. "
.Mr. Wyckoff defended the bill. He said
-0,000 miners wcro a unit In demanding
the passage of this measure , and the re
publican party could not afford to disregard
their wishes. Mr. Early offcted an amend
ment making the provisions apply to all
classes of laboring nlen. Mr. Dow oil made
a. strong argument for1 the bill , but pending a
motion to refer It
lo the judiciary com
mittee the hoiiio adjourned.
The committee on appropriations of both
houses have agreed ttl give the State univer
sity $50,000 addltlonal'fo the $84,000 received
under existing lausP' Drills will bo $10,000
more than It was allowed two years ago and
enable the Institution 'to ' 'erect ' a much needed
dormitory for lady stude'nts. '
In the aftsrnoon fceMslon the mulct bill
came up as a special' ' order and three hours
were consumed In iT running debate. Mr.
Ilarrlman offered an amendment making the
payment of a tax compulsory , but not to
operate as a bar to p'rbsecutlon. Speaker
Stone ruled this out' ' 6t order , as the very
Identical proposition lincl already been voted
down. " Mr. Morrls of Clarke offered an
amendment prohibiting saloons within 300
feet of a dwelling house- which prevailed on
a rising vote of' < 34 ' (6 ( 23. Mr. 'Martin of
Adalr moved a reconsideration on the ground
that the effect of'su'jh an amendment would
virtually kill the biltf 'Mr. ' Mitchell of Adams
also favored reconsideration In the interests
of "fair play , " as ho thought the friends of
the bill had the right to perfect It without
objection from its enemies , also that a
"square" vote could bo taken on its merits.
Speeches were made by Ilarrlman , Morris ,
Hell and Van Gilder In opposition to recon

drowned the house with filth

much for me.
"Of course , nftcr the tmtible became

never s.ivv nny thing to compare with
Mecca Compound for burns , nor in fact for
cuts nnd Fiirfaco "wounds of nny kind. One
bad ease of a cut becoming poisoned nnd
putild was permanently cuied by n few ap

bolic Salve , Indian Salve , nnd one of my
own make seemingly had no effect In a
three weeks trial , but was constantly grow
ing worse. I could tell of many wonderful
cures effected by Mecca Compound.
