The people of Council Dluffs were shocked
yesterday afternoon at the circulation of
the report that Dr. C. H. Plnncy was among
those who met death In the Rock Island
wreck near Lincoln , an account of which
appeared In yesterday's Dec. A. T. Elwell
of the Rock Island local olllce received a
telegram stating that the remains of Dr.
Plnncy wcro found In the wreck and Iden
tified by means cf papers In one of the
pockets.
The news was at first kept carefully from
Mrs. Plnnoy , for It was not believed pos
sible that the report was correct. He left
for Claytona , Neb. , twenty-two miles west
of Lincoln , Thursday noon , and did not ex
pect to return home until Friday afternoon.
Ho had some personal and profcslonal busi
ness to transact there whlrh ho thought
would take about twenty-four hours. Ap
parently something caused him to change hla
plan , and he boarded the accommodation
train at Claytona which met such a horrible
rible end a few miles further on.
When It became thoroughly established
that It was Indeed Dr. Plnncy , the news
was br ken to his wife as gently as pos-
slblo by her father , W. II. M. Pusey , but
gently as It was , the poor woman was al
most crazed w.th grief. N. M. Pusey , J.
E. F. McGee and W. C. Estcp left for Lin
coln on the afternoon train to get the re
mains and bring them back to this city.
Dr. Pinney was cue of the best known
medical practitioners In the city. He had
been here for a great many ye.irs , and at
the time of his death was connected with
the Council muffs Medical college. He was
ul.S3 largely Interested In the stock business.
He was a son-in-law of ex-Congressman
W. II. M. Puspy. About a month ago he
received a visit from ex-Congressman Herr
of Michigan , whose wife Is a sister of Dr.
Plnncy. At the end cf the visit Mr. Herr
left for the east , taking Miss Lucille Pln
ncy , the daughter of Dr. Pinney , w.th him
for a visit at the seashore. Miss Pinney
was notified of the sad accident yesterday
by telegram , but her mother Is so pros
trated with grief that she can hardly bear
the thought of her coming home.
Dr. Plnncy'8 mother , a very aged lady ,
lives In Michigan , and it Is feared the shock
will k II her.
Last evening a telegram was received
from Mr. Pusey stating that he had Identi
fied the remains beyond any possibility of a
doubt , and they would probably be brought
home on the midnight train.
During the afternoon a report was cir
culated to the effect that T. C. Jarvls of the
Jarvls Wine company was one of the pas
sengers on the Ill-fated train. The people
at the company's headquarters placed little
confidence In the report , however. According
to their story , Mr. Jarvls was at Hastings
on the 8 h , and had to make a selling trip
along the road to lieatrice. They were sure
It would have been Impossible for him to
complete his work and get to Deatrlce In
time -to catch the wrecked train. All last
evening , however , they were trying to locate
him by telegram , but were unable to do so.
After telegraphing back and forth Mrs.
Jarvls finally became very nervous , and said
she feared very much that her husband
was on the train. Her fear was strength
ened by the fact that he had not telegraphed
her to let her know of his safety , notwith
standing ho must have known of her uneasi
ness from reading the papers.
Mrs. Depew , wife of the engineer who

must have peace ; It we do not , this Is no
longer a free country. I consider the time
ripe for a call for the mllltla , and I am
glad they are here. I believe In giving pro
tection to the men who want to work.
A. C. Raymer The mllltla should have
been called here at the very start. This
means that there will bo no more disgrace
ful rioting upon our public thoroughfares , and
It wilt give protection to the men who want
to work.
Dave Anderson I was opposed to calling
out state troops , but now that they are here ,
I am perfectly satisfied. My Idea of keeping
order was to do so by swearing In citizens
as special police , but the troops will pre
serve order and protect property. That Is
what we want.
A number of other citizens spoke favora
bly of the order calling on the troops , but did
not care to bo quoted In the p.iuer.
John Smith and Fred Spauldlng- sent a
communication to the executive committee of
the strikers yesterday stating that they had
been Induced to conic here from DCS Molnes
by misrepresentation. That they had gone
to work , but had now quit , and would not
return. Smith and Spauldlng arc beef
butchers. The strikers say they have had
several similar casts within the last week.
STRIKERS HOLD A MEETING.
A meeting of the men who are out was
held In the big hall at Twentieth and Q
streets yesterday afternoon. Several hundred
of the men were present. The meeting was
behind closed doors , from 2 until 4 o'clock ,
when an open mass meeting was held.
There were several local speakers and some
from Omaha. The principal object of the
meeting was to keep the men off the streets.
Many express the belief that the packing
house strlko nt South Omaha has been
broken by the Influence of the statetroops. .
There arc those who Insist that the strike
Is neither settled nor lost ; but these men
evidently assume that the strikers are as
determined as ever , that their ranks are
still full and tint they arc practically unani
mous In favor of continuing the contest with
the packers.
Messrs. S. P. Drlgham and James Car
roll , appointed by the citizens' committee to
confer with the packers In an effort to end
the strike , held a final consultation with
Manager Cudahy yesterday afternoon. The
conference was fruitless , for Mr. Cudahy , en
behalf of all the packing house men , de
clared that they had nothing to arbitrate ,
and that they would neither compromise
nor concede.
The general opinion Is that the presence
of the state troops has effectually quelled
the tuibulcnt spirits which have openly
defied the local authorities. Any demon
stration on the part of the few of the
strikers who have heretofre caused the
trouble will be fraught with serious consequences
quences , or else the Nebraska National
Guards and their officers fall to appreciate
the real cause of their presence In South
Omaha.
SALOON MEN ARE ANGRY.
The saloon keepers at their meeting In the
afternoon turned the session Into a sort of
roasting feast. There were about twenty-five
of them present , which Is only one-third of
the whole number. Jim Lowrey , Pat Rowley
and Tom Rock waited on Mayor Jonhston
early In the day and Inquired where the
order came from to close. They harried that
It came from Acting Governor Majors , who
Instructed Chief Drennan to servo the no
tices. The mayor said that If the men kept
good order and there was no boisterous con
duct ho would maka an effort to allow them
to open In the morning. This was satis
factory to Messrs. Lowrey , Rowley and Rock ,
and they did not attend the meeting. The
element that was on hand at the meeting
seemed to be red hot to get after the man
who hud caused them to lose a day's bust-
ness. Some of them boldly questioned the
authority of the governor to close their
houses.
John Van Wle , ex-captain of the police ,
who was recently removed by the mayor , was
chosen as president of the meeting. Von Wle
did not overlook any opportunity to shy a
left-handed slap at Adjutant General Gage
and Mayor Johnston. He" said he had been
to Omaha , where an attorney told htm that
no officer had the right to order his place
closed without submitting a proclamation
written In black and white. John said he
told Mr. Gage to go to h 1 when he ordered
him to close , but that tl e man en me there w.th
twenty-five soldiers and closed the house.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Grotmak
and Koutsky were sent cut to bring the
mayor to the meeting and have him explain
"why we are closed today. " The com-
mlttco was gone a half hour and reported
that the mayor would probably allow the
men to opan In the morning provided every
thing was quiet last night. The governor
was the pcrsDn , the mayor said , who had
Issued the original order and It would have
to stand for a day at least.
Mlko Hart made a lively speech In favor
of the saloon men suing the city , county
or any ono who was responsible for their
loss of a day's business. He accused all
the packers of being unfair and scored
Sheriff Drexell for sending down a "gang
of rapcrs , penitentiary birds and loafers"
as deputies. The specials , ho said , were
made up of the rubbish of the community ,
and he wound up by giving the mllltla a
roasting. Grotmak defended the mayor In
the matter. Van Wle made the sugges
tion that all the saloon keapers march from
the hall to tlielr respective saloons and throw
their doors open at once. One man made
a second to this proposition , but Hart In
sisted that some action bo taken to collect
what few dollars they had lost by being
closed for the day.
Drlcf speeches were made by others , and
before any action could be taken en any
proposition John Kalian came Into the meet
ing and taking the floor made a speech thirty
minutes long , In which ho roasted the
mayor , governor , "scsbs" and spec'als , as
well as the mllltla. He dented the authority
of the governor to close the saloons and
ha Id the packers and stock yards managers
wora anarchists. Ho appealed to his small
audience to reform all such matters through
the ballot.
When Mayor Johnson learned that Van
Wle had made the remark that the mayor
did not "dare" to come- Into the meeting he
hurriedly went to Bauer's hall. The meetIng -
Ing had adjourned , but Fallen was still there
and ho opened out on the mayor with his
abuse , when the chief executive of the city
went out of the building rather than have a
quarrel with a man who was In the condi
tion he found Fallon.
Chief Drennan was called Into the meeting
and stated that ho li.id received his orders
to close the saloons from Acting Governor
Majors , but this did not seen to disabuse the
minds of some of the men that It was Mayor
Johnston Just the same.
Mayor Johnston's Idea was to allow the
saloons to open this morning In case there
was no particular disturbance last night ,
GOOD WORK OF POLICE.
The South Omaha police deserve much
credit for the manner In which they have
worked during the trouble. All the men
have been working from eighteen to twenty
hour * a day. and they arj getting pretty
well worn out. The arrival of the troops
will give them a chance to rest up a little.
Tim Lynch , one of the strikers who
created a disturbance at Thirty-first and Q
streets and Interfered with some of the men
who were working , was sentenced to thirty
days In the county jail , The fellow gave
an appeal bnd.
John Rouptzolklke went Into Swift's plant ,
claiming to bo looking for work , He was
offered a job , but walked out. The man was
arrested later , charged with conspiring to do
Injury , but later In the night he was re
leased.
John Danohoe , James Connor and Charles
Swarlnger were arrested for disturbing the
peacj. They are strikers , and are accused
of Intimidating some ot the men who are at
work. All of them gave ball to appear for

000,000 Iowa sent over 70,000 bravo boys for
the defense of the flag.
In the language of an Iowa writer , from
the beginning until the end , the story of
Iowa valor was the same as that of tried
comrades from other s'ates. Not greater ,
for all were brave. But the Iowa soldiers
were conspicuously so , Their fortune kept
them at the front. They were the first
everywhere. These tattered and precious
battle flags floated at the fron In every bat'le '
and were always found where the conflict
was the thickest and the danger greatest.
The flag of this country represents no
personality , but only the will of the people
ple , and It Is therefore a matter of surprise
and regret that there are citizens of this
republic who fall to comprehend the relation
of the citizen to the flag , which stands for
law and order , and that law made by the
people. It Is supremely foolish then to
hurl epithets against the flag or the execu
tive for placing the flag In the front when
the law Is dolled.
In again assuming the care and protec
tion of these precious emblems of liberty ,
let me assure you , veteran heroes , that the
state of Iowa fully realizes and appreciates
their precious value , Here In Iowa's beauti
ful capltol they shall remain forever , forming
a sacred altar around which will gather In
loving remembrance the gra'eful ' hearts of
more than two millions of people. As long
as their faded folds shall hang together , they
will teach the generations that areto follow
the loyalty and bravery of Iowa's soldiers.
And when the hand of time shall have
brushed away the last faded shred of these
precious and priceless emblems , their memory
shall remain forever an Inspiration to deeds
of honor , of heroism , and of glory.

A NEW MAN OF HIM.
What Paine's Celery Compound Did for
Sheriff Sinnott.
While the sun shines the farmer makes hay.
Men and women whoso store of strength
and nervous energy has fallen so low that It
barely keeps them through the day should
fill their veins now with fresh blood full of
red corpuscles , and store the million of tiny
inrvo cills with energy by means of Paine's
celery compound , while It Is summer and the
nun shines.
Thcra are now few drafts upon the strength
of the body no winter colds to resist , or
spring languor to drag OUP back. It Is amaz
ing how rapidly It Is now possible to lay up
nerve force and vigor , over and above the
dully expenditure. Those who suffer from k'd- '
ney troubles , liver or stmach weaknesses ,
and rheumatism find no time so suited as the
present to overcome thete diseases by giving
iheso overworked , poorly fed organs blood
Unit Is rich and puie In quality , nnd sure to
Invigorate.
This IB what Paine's celery compound Is
doing nil over the country while It Is sum
mer and while every one feels that now la
the tlmo to get well.
