Ycntcrilur *
The meeting of the Staio Board of Trans
portation at 10 o'clock yesterday In the
rooms of the Commercial club waa attended
by a number of Interested citizens. In addi
tion to the rogutor legal talent that has ap
peared In the case heretofore , there were
present M. A. Lowe , general solicitor and at
torney for the Rock Island road , and George
n. Peck of Chicago , general attorney f Jr the
Milwaukee road ,
The morning's session was opened by Win-
field S. Strawn , who la mippoasd to represent
the Hock Island and Milwaukee roads , and
other parties objecting to any action on the
part of the board which shall compel certain
roada to enter the proposed union depot.
John L. Webster staUd that ho had been en
deavoring to discover In whose Interests Mr.
Strawn did appear.
"You haven't succeeded yet , have you ? "
queried the latter.
Mr. Wtbstcr replied that he had not.
Mr. Strawn dwelt nt. pome length on the
facilities that would be furnished by the
construction of the depot at Tenth and Maser
Directs. He raid that Thomas L. Klmbal
knew more about the railroad sltuatlcn thar
any ono elsj present , and he had testified
that the propossd depot , now partially con
structed , would be ample for all the needs cl
the city for many years to come. Omaha was
not the nourishing city that many had ex
pected It to be.
"Tho fact Is , " said Mr. Strawn. "It has
passed through a season of severe financial
depression , and the Tenth and Mason street
depot would prove moro commensurate with
the condition of the city than would tht
proposed union depot at Ninth and Farnam
streets. "
He argued that the contract by which the
Union Pacific Is obliged to build and construct -
struct the depot on the present site for thu
use and accommodation of all rallroadu en
tering the city should not be Impaired. Ont.
story of the new depot had already beci :
constructed , and no obstacle should be
thrown In the way of the companies desiring
a speedy completion of It. The depot facili
ties would bo all that could be desired , the
appointments would be ample and complete
and there would be end approaches to all
trains Just as In the other depot now priv
posed. The platform accommodations would
also bo ample- for the convenience of the
traveling public.
Mr. Strawn clnwd with an appeal o the
members of the board against the Imaplrment
of the contracts , and said that there was. no
Justification for the breaking of the con
tract which called for a depot at Tenth and
Mason streets.
MR. WEBSTER'S ARGUMENT.
John L. Webster followed and spoke sub
stantially as follows :
I mean to contend that sufficient power
Is vested In the State Hoard of Transporta
tion to compel each and singular of the rail
way companies operating railways In the
city of Omaha , for the carrying of passen-
KCT.I , to build and maintain such depots as
public necoFslty and convenience reasonably
require. If , under the circumstances In
Which each of the respective railway com
panies find themselves , It Is impracticable
for all of them to build and maintain such
ti 'depots upon their respective proper-
tie ? , then . .puch railway companies may
be required by the order ; of the
board to run * and operate their railway
' * trains Into such nepot as may be con
structed by any other company , and each
of the railway train ? shall be so operated
'as to take on and let off their passengers
In n depot suitable to the public conven
ience , and reasonably required as a public
necessity.
It is a conceded fact that there arc no
suitable depot facilities at Tenth and Mason
streets and that the structures there ex'st-
Ing1 arc wholly Inadequate for the accom-
4 modatlon of the railway lines at that pnt. !
and are not such an public convenience and
neceralty reasonably require. There Is much
jircof before the board that the Webster
street depot Is likewise Inadequate , and that
It furnishes no protection to passengers In
polnFT to or cownff from trains , and under
the proofs I believe the board must come to
the conclusion that that depot Is not gush
tin pub'.lc convenience and necessity reason
ably require at the hands of the railway
companies.
The situation is thnt all of the railway
companies nro using depots which are In
adequate and not sufllclent to answer the
public necessities , and this condition hn
so long- continued as to require same radical
notion at the hands of the State Board of
Transportation. To this end the board Is
Krantea ample power. Artlo'e 17 of the acl
defining the duties of the State Board of
TranFportatlon , provides , among othei
things :
"It shall carefully Investigate , upon
proper complaint , any lack of the facilities
ana accommodations * for the com
fort , convenience and accommodation of In-
dlvlduils and the public nnd when
ever. In the judgment of said board , anv
repiirs nro necessary uoon any such
depots and station houses or addi
tions to or any changes In * * depots
nnd elation houses are , necessary. In
order to secure the comforts. * accommoda
tion nnd convenience of the public
It shall make findings of facts nnd an order
requiring1 such railway corporations to make
such repairs. Improvement1) ) or additions to
eurh stations , depots , etc. "
Such order of the board the courts wl'.l
enforce , even to the hulldlncr of now demts.

47G.
47G.The language of this section goes to the
point that the board Is empowered to ray
that a depot fhall bo such as shall bo sult-
nblo lo the "convenience and accommoda
tion" of the publ'c. ' nnd the board Is em
powered to say that such depots' shall bo so
built nnd constructed ns to secure four
things , to-wlt : Safety , comfort , accommo
dation nnd convenience of the public. We
draw attention to the point , that the con
venience comfort nnd 'accommodation
spoken of In the law Is not such con
venience , comfort and accommodation aa
shall plcare Iho rallwav companies , but It
Is the convenience nnd accommodation of
the publ'c ' that Is ppokcn at in the1 section.
It Is the common contention of thn mil-
way companies that they are veiled with
discretion under the common law , or under
their chartered rights , that If thev have a
depot \vhlth thev think Is adequate for
their UPCH , the public luis no rlitht tn coin-
plain , I do not stop In this d'sciiFslon ' testate
state what the cimmon law may be , be
cause the law of Nebraska Is distinct upon
that point , and fixed by statute , nnd It Is
the convenience nnd accommodation of the
puhl'a ' thai arn to be consulted nnd looked to
uy the State Board of Trannportntlon.
MAY ORDER NEW DEPOTS.
It may bo Bald by the railway companies
that the law quoted relates only to addi
tions and changes in existing depots , and
that therefore the board Is powerless to
older too construction of n now depot. The
answer to that Is two-fold :
All of the railway companies say thnt
they have depot nccnmmodatlons either In
their own rlphtH or under leasehold con
tract. That Is to say , that the railroads en
tering the south side of thu city at Tenth
and Mason pticcts have a structure , and
the railroads entering the north part of the
city have the Webster street Etructure. This
remission lay * the foundation for the power
of the board to order these re p ° cllva
depots lo bo so enlarged by additions and
changes us to answer the convenience and
accommodation of the public.
The power of the board , however , Is not
BO limited , The law presupposes thai every
railway company has bome kind of a depot ,
and If not , ut common law It was required
to construct and maintain a depot. Such
was the policy of this state announced In
the case of Rfato ttunlnst 11 , , V. & R , Co. ,
17 Neb. . CI7 , decided In 1S& . This was re
affirmed In Rlato airainst R V. & It. Co ,
K Neb. . M2. decided In 1SSO. Under these
decisions railway companies can he com.
pellcd to build and maintain depots at each
point Where the road paarea to accommoJa'c
the , public ut said point. Then camn the
net conferring additional power upon Uio
State Board of Transportation , fflvlny KII *
pervlsory control over such depots , with
power to make appropriate orders.
It Is Idle to eayl thai the act Is not broad
er.cutfh to give the board power to compel
the construction of depots , or that these
supervisory powers are limited to etructure ?
already existing , because , If so , any rail
way company could defeat the power of
thn board and make the law Inoperative by
refusing- build depots In the flrst Instance
or by destroying depots already exlstlnr ,
The logical result Is that thn paw-
era of the board are millldentlv
comprehensive to compel th rail
way companies to construct and maln <
tain euch depots as are necrouurv for the
convenience and accommodation of the pub.
ll < 5. This power of the board In not limited
to compelling a railway company to build
nnd maintain n depot upon Its own property ,
The law Oocs not ray that. To K.VO the
law such n. narrow construction would de
stroy its efficacy and utility.
Railroads arc required to have depots. If
they have not ground of their own upon
which to build they must acquire the
Kfnmd , or they must run Into and utilize
a depot furnished by * omo other company.
This argument may not only bo enforced ,
but demonstrated by existing- facts :
The Rock Island cacc. The Rock Island
Railroad company nppenrs neforc Ihe board
and says lhal II Is nol subjecl to the Juris
diction of the board because It does not
own a railroad In the city of Omahn ,
neither docs It own any property upon
which to construct a depot. It Is even bold
enough to say thnt It doc ? not operate n
railway within the clly of Omaha. It Is
nn admitted fact , however , that the Rock
Island company runs Its trains Into and
within the city of Omaha with regularity.
11 takes on nnd discharges passengers In
the city of Omaha. It Is ns such a rnl'.way
company nnd exercises the powers of n
cc mmon carrier within the city of Omaha ,
ns docs the Union Pacific company or the
Burlington company.
If the Rock Island company desires to
escape Its obligation to the public in the
city of Omaha , lei II take off Its trains ,
close Its t'ckcl olllce nnd depart from our
midst , or otherwise let II willingly acknowl
edge Its ol > : iKaton ! to the public by seeing to
It that Its trains run Inlo nnd depart from
n depot suitable to the accommodation of
the public. The same Is true of the Sill-
wntikoc Hallway company.
II IB no answer for these inllway com
panies to eay that they have no right of
way nor depot ground' , and that therefore
they rhnuld not be required to maintain a
depot. The mere statement refutes Itself.
If such a poritlon can bo true , then every
rnllrd company that runs Into a town
upon the tracks of another company could
discharge Its passengers nt any point it
pleased with Impunity , defying Ihe rights
of the public to have it perform Us duties
as a pub'Io carrier. ,
The Webster strccl dcpol furnishes nn-
olhcr Illustration. This depot and the
ground upon which It stands Is owned by
one company. The two other companies
whose trains run Into th's depot , do nol
own the depot , nnd do nol own ground upon
which to build ono. But that Is no answer
to their obligation to build and maintain a
depot such ns thU board shall decide to be
necessary to serve the safety , ' convenience
nnd accommodation of the public.
What we have said leads Irresistibly to
the conclusion that If any railway company
has not the property upon which to build
a depot , and Is so situated thai II cnnnol
acquire such property convenient to Its ex-
'stlng right of way and main line , It may
be required to go elsewhere , to a point that
they may answer Iho convenience nnd ac
commodation of the public , and to acquire
nrcperty nnd build n depot , or If tlio ex
igencies of the cape require It , to run Inlo
the depot of como other company that offers'
proper facilities.
SITUATION AS IT IS.
Having1 laid down th'.s general proposi
tion , let us deal with the existing situation.
The Tenth street depot cannot be made
to answer the convenience nnd accommo
dation of the public for the following rea
sons :
This depot , If constructed , would be sur
rounded on nil sides by railway track" , so
thai every approach to it would be cut oft
or seriously Interfcrred with , except the approach
preach by way of the viaduct.
The elevation from the tracks to the
level of the viaduct Is twenty-six feet , an
elevation equal to the roof of a two-story
building. Any location that would require
the public to travel up mid down stairways
to such an elevation Is nol one thnt answers
the convenience or accommodation of the
public. This ends this case , wlthoul discus
sion. Men , women and children cnnnol
climb stairways , laden with hdnil baggage
nnd traveling phnrnnhcrnalla without suf
fering the greatest inconvenience.
It Is suld lhal this depol Is lo have ele
vators. Admit thai facl and Ihe charnclcr
of the Iravellns public Is such lhal a score
of policemen would not be EiUIlclent to force
a crowd of people Into these e'.evalors. Ele-
tors are repulsive to the masses of people
who are not familiar with them.
In any event , elevators arc subject to ac
cident. The crowds of psople arriving : on
any public occasion overcrowding of ele
vators would almost certainly cause a
panic nnd lors of life in case of accident.
Elevators under such circumstances would
be practically useless.
A dfpot at that point places not only the
railway companies but the traveling public
nt the mercy of possible accidents on the
viaduct produced by blockade of slreel
car lines , passing ; processions , and olhcr llkft
Inconveniences.
In case of a strike of railway employes ,
which might result in riot , taking possession
of the vladucl would absolutely cut off the
facilities for railway travel. Many other
UHiRtrntlcns crowd the mind , and show thai
a depot located where the 'traveling public
would be subjected to so many possible
inconveniences nnd uncertainties Is abso-
.utely hazardous.
The depot company has not a legal title
to any of th ° ground coveted by Ihe build
ing and has no prospccl of gelling n lllle.
The foreclosure of the morlgnge upon Ihe
Union Pnclllc lines would wipe any lltle
lo the properly out of existence.
In any event , this depot would not be
built by any of the railway companies. II
Is not contended by any ono thai Ihls board
can order the depot company to build a
depot , but Ihe order which the board shall
make shall be directed against the railway
companies. To order Iho railway compa
nies lo build n depol at Tenth and Mason
streets does not , therefore , mean the
construction of a depot by the Union Depot
company , nnd no such order con be mnd ; .
If Ihe Union Depot company should , of Us
own accord , build a depol al Tenlh nnd
Mason streets , then It may be thai Ihe
Railway Depot company would be glad to
have the board make such nn.order , nnd in-
slfl Ihat the board hns power lo do so.
It logically follows thnt If the board can
order Ihe Union Pnclllc company and Ihe
B. & M. company lo use the depot nt Tenth
and Farnam htrcots1 , It can likewise order
these companies lo use any other depots
which furnlBh llko or equal facilities , and
equal , If not greater accommodations lo Ihe
public.
The depot company which proposes to
build the Fnrnnm street depot nppcars before -
fore th ! board In the position of being ready
to conptruct a depot , to furnish trackage
and other facilities for each nnd nil of
the railroads enterlnir lha cltv of Omaha ,
and offers these facilities to the respective
railway , companies. This IB a plan Ihat
Insures the convsnlence of the public , and I ?
the only plan that docs so Insure It.
If Ihe board shall Ilnd as a matter of
fact thai Iho Farnnm street depot plan IP
the only onn which Is comprehensive enough
to answer the consenlenc nnd accommoda
tion of the public within the meaning of Ihe
law , then the board neccfFarlly hns eufll-
cient power to compel the railway com
panies to avail themselves of the facilities
so offered to them ,
This docd not mean thai Ihe board can
order Ihe respsctlve railway companies to
accept such n form of contract as may be
tendered to them by the depot company , for
the depot company by the nature of Us
organization IH n public corpoiatlon , subject
lo state control , and when It shall have
furnlHhed trackage nnd other facilities for
the respective railway companies , It can
be compelhd to allow tuch railway compa
nies to use such facilities for n reacomblp
compensation , and like any public carrier. It
can bo compelled to nllow the railway com
panies to use Its tracks nnd Itn depots , nnd
what Pha'.l bo considered a reasonabl ! com
pensation Iherefor Is n matter which the
courts have power to decide where the par-
tics shall fall to agree upon term ? .
ROCK ISLAND BEGS OFF.
At the opening of Iho afternoon session
Mr. Wcibster eald that as representatives
of the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads
wlsted to bo heard nnd were compelled lo
leave Iho city very ehorlly he would give
way to them. Ho reserved the right to
finish his argument later.
General Atlorney Lowe appeared for Ihe
Reck Island road. Ho said that his road
had no Una In Omaha ; that they were simply
by agreenmit using the Union Pacific tracks.
Ho said that the law did not provlJe for the
construction of depots on hU line when they
were subject to the Union Pacific road. The
latter road had guaranteed Ihe Rock Island
mltquato railroad facilities and Ihe public
should look lo the Union Pacific , and not
to the Rock Island. Why should the board
make an order which could not be- sustained ?
The peopla would only be kept waiting many
months lunger nnd deprived for a longer
tlmo of dcpct facilities , which they have a
perfect right to demand. In answer to a
question by Attorney General Churchill Mr.
Lcwo said that he thought It would bo practi
cable for the board to Issue an order com
pelling tha Union Pacific road to furnlali
proper depot facilities for the Rock Island
read.
George R. Peck , general attorney and
solicitor of the. Milwaukee read , questioned
the authority of the board to compel his
road lo enter the proposed union depot.
He read the etnto statute rcgnrdlng the
power cf the board , and Bald that It was
grunted the board to Imve jurisdiction only
over roads operating from ono point In Ne
braska to fcotnc- other point In theBIIUJ
state. Ho asserted that the Milwaukee ) road
did not operate a railroad In Nebraska ; that
It was strictly an Interstate railroad.
Granting that the hwrd had jurisdiction
of the mailer , Mr. Peck tsald no courl In
this land , much lets Iho State Board cf
Transportation of Nebraska , can mnko con-
trccts. It might be Ihat the board cguld
compel the erection ot separate passenger
stations by the roads entering Omaha , but
no court or no l > card could force the different
railroads to make n contract for the pur-
) use of entering a union depot. He was
i : hope that Omaha would traon cecure such
x metropolitan depot ai uch a Urge city
ilmrved , but the Milwaukee road could not ,
If It desired , enter Into uch an agreement.
AGAINST FARNAM STREET SCHEME.
Mr. Greene of the n. & M. , for the com-
prny , also questioned the right of the board
to Issue an order In favor of the proposed
depot nt Ninth and Farnam strcels. He
said the whole controversy was between per
sons desiring belter depot facilities , but who
differed In their Ideas for securing these.
The controversy , In his opinion , was not be
tween thoto who did and those who did not
desire a. new union depot. The Farnam
street scheme was brought forward by stock
holders In a company that would bo greatly
enriched by ihe ccmplcllon ot a union depol
at that point. Mr. Webster had proceeded
upon the assumption Ihat Ihls company had
already constructed the depot , had laid the
necessary tracks and provided all the ap-
prcaches. This was not the case. The com
pany had not a rail south of Dodge street
and the lot at Ninth and Farnam streets
was as bare as It was twenty-five years ago.
It was not within Ihe coniract obligations
this company has assumed with the stale
to compel that company to move Its depot
n mile or a half mile simply for the conven
ience of the public. Ho admitted that If
facilities offered were grossly Inadequate II
mlghl b ? well lo make necessary changes.
Iho bc&t way for Omaha to secure a union
depot on the Farnam street location would
be for the company favoring the scheme t > >
proceed with Its erecllon and then endeavor
to secure the entrance of the various rail
roads In the city.
Mr. Greene went on to argue that the only
orders that thy board could Issue was one
to compel the old Union Depot company to
complete Its depot or one to compel each of
Iho roads entering the city to build a stn-
llon of Us own , He held , however , thai the
board was absolutely without authority to
order a depot to be built at the foot of Far
nam street or anywhere else Where the old
Union Depot company or the roads did not
wish.
Atlorney General Churchill asked what Ihe
beard could do In case the Union Depol com
pany claimed lhal It was not financially able
to erect a depot building.
Mr. Greene poohoocd the Idea. He said
that the company was backed by two of the
grealcsl corporations en Ihe face of Ihe
earlh , and Ihat the board could Issue Ihe
order upon lliem as slockholdcrs. He slalcd
that they certainly could not refuse to obey
the order because of lack of financial ability.
If they pleaded such an excuse It was tlmo
for their charter to be forfeited.
DEPOT WANTED ANYHOW.
I. S. Andrews , who appeared for the peti
tioners , remarked thai Ihe people of lha clly
did not care where the depot was located
oo much as they cared for a depot some
where. They did not belldve , however , that
the Union Depot company would do much In
the way of erecting a structure , judging
from the conduct of the past. Ho then went
on to discuss the positions that the- railroads
had taken in the matter. The Rock Island ,
ho asserted , made the claim that no order
could be Issued upon It , because It held
that It came Into ths city over no track thai
belonged lo It. The fact that It enjoyed all
the benefits of any railroad Incorporated
under the laws of the stale did not appear
lo figure largely In its calculations. Its con
tract was with the Union Pacific , It argued ,
and therefore Ihe people musl look to the
latter. It held that It could not be held re
sponsible ; that Its contract was with nn In
solvent corporation , and therefore was nol
responsible for Its lack of judgment In male-
Inn such a contract.
Mr. Andrews also dented Ihe claim of Ihe
receivers of Iho Union Pacific that they were
responsible only to the Unlled Slates couTt
and lo no oilier court , and Ihat consequently
any order Iraied from another court would
be Invalid. They argued , he said , that out of
the receipts they were compelled to pay the
expenses of tunning the road , and to turn
over the rest to the bondholders for thb
payment of mortgages. Mr. Andrews argued ,
however , that In his opinion the receivers
were Iho agenls of Ihe bondholders , arid as
such were as liable lo an order from Ihe
board as Ihe bondholders themselves. He
asserted Ihat on Ihelr claim the receivers
could refuse an order for the reconstruction
of a dangerous bridge unless they were or
dered to do so by thq United Stales court
As an example of Ihe position in'whlch the
-receivers placed IhemselvTs1 ; Mr. Andrews
cited 'Ihe care of S. H. H. Clark. While
Clark was manager of Ihe road he did nol
deny that the board had power to compel
him to obey such provisions as were em
bodied In the charter , but immediately afler
he became receiver he held that the. board
had no- more control over him. v *
Mr. Andrews also attacked the stand of
Ihe Rock Island and the Milwaukee roads ,
which claimed that no order , compelling ths
building of ths- depot at ( he foot of "Farnam
street could be made , inasmuch as they were
both Inleresled In Ihe old Union Depot com
pany. Mr. Andrews said thai Ihe position
carried but Httla weight , as the two roads
were party plaintiffs In the injunction suit
which brought the work on the depot to a
stop. They simply did not want to go to
the expense of erecting any new struclure ,
as Ihey obtained as much business at less
cost at the shed on Mason street.
John L. Webster made a few more remarks
'n line with thosa he had made previously.
In the course of his argument he atlack'ed
Ihe position of the Rock Isjand , but Attorney
General Ctiurchlll Interrupted him to tttate
that the bsardhsd , decided that''tho Rack
Island came under theprovlfioufl" of the
statutes , which' compelled roado to" conslnlcl
adequate railroad facilities. >
HEADY" FOR THE O
Attorney. Geneai Churchill asked & } r.
Webster whether the board hat ! the power
to order the Omaha Bridge ar.il Terminal
company to , build a depot. In answer Mr.
Webster told that It had } , an'd proceeded 'to '
explain. , Ho stated that..thOj.chartertof the
company fet out that It" was organized to
build rallroidstand depots , not forMtself alone ,
but for other roads. Mr. Webster stated that
moreovei the company wan asking for the
crder and that It could certainly not refuse
to obey It under the clrcumstanMs.
"Suppose tre M soji e r et , d po. Is ordered , "
continued Mr. Webster. "The Union Pacific
and the Buillngton snd iho t erne suth part
of the city would bo accommodated. If , on
the other hand , the Karnam street depot ' 1L-
crdered , all the roadu cm go In , end the
north part of the city would recjlve some
benefit. In the one casj about one-half would
ba accommodated , In the other everybody. "
Sterling of the Northwestern and the Elkhorn -
horn roadu made but a few remarks. He
held that no crilrr should be ferved on the
Northwestern , Iwcaura It did not com ? Into
the city at all. Its cat-tern terminus was
Council Bluffs , only one train running Into
the union depot over the tracks of the * Union
Pacific. There was not oven a leasIn ex
istence , ho raid , between the roads for the
IIEO of the tracks. 'Therefore lif elated that
the only effect an order would have on the
road would be the withdrawal of this train ,
Mr. Sterling aim held that the board had no
pswer to irsue th ? order on the Elkhorn , be-
canso that road already had adequate
facilities at the Webter street depot. "They
.no not luxuriant , " lie added , "but they ar ?
adequate for the needs ot the clly and the
road. " Ho Invited'the board to examine the
depot.
Attorney 0. R. Webster of fie Terminal
company requested permission to lefnto the
clmrgo that ten or lUte-ni minutes would bo
added to the time of all trains If Iho depot
was removed to Farnam street. He showed
that the distance from the eml of the brldg ?
to tlio present depot Ettp lo 2,300 feet and that
tha distance from the end of the brldgo to
the proposed depot Me Is 3GOO feet , 1,200
feet more , a distance which h ? showed cculd
bs covered In twenty-eight seconds.
Mr. Webster also presented to the board a
petition nlsnd by over 1,000 bankers , busi
ness and professional men of the city , who
urged that the depot at the foot of Farnam
street would bo a great benefit to the city.
This concluded the hearing. Attornsy Gen
eral Churchill announced that Judge Kclloy ,
solicitor of the Union Pacific , would be given
until Situnlay to file a brief , as he was un
able to attend the hearing , and that decision
of tbo boird might be expected within a
week or ten days thereafter. With that the
board adjounmed. _ _

The remains of George E. McCormlck , the
Omaha contractor who died at Colorado
Springs Thursday night , were brought to
this city for Interment last evening. The
remalno were accompanied by his mother
and sister and AV. W. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson was the only one who was at
the ranch where Mr. McCormlck died. Ho
says that there Is no foundaticn for the re
port telegraphed fromColorado Springs to the
effect that the dead man hod been drinking
Intemperately , or that he- had been taking
chloral. On the contrary , the coroner's cer
tificate states that death was duo to heart
disease. Mr. McCormlck had been at Fort
Worth for several weeks previous , and had
Just gone up to Colorado Springs. It Is sup
posed that the eudden change from a low to a
high altitude was the Immediate cause of
death.
The funeral services will take place some
tlmo Monday from his mother's residence on
Thirty-third street and West Douglas.

work , but It Is expected thnt the well will
bo complete ! In time for use next year. The
drill encountered a cottonwood stump at n.
depth of about pevcnty feet , and after drilling
forty feet further , struck n solid boulder or
granite , which could not bo penetrated. Con
sequently , the borluR had to bo begun over
again at a new point. As the city only pays
for the number of fset In tbc completed

To Any One Afflicted With 1'llci.
The Pyramid Pllo Cure , the new , painless
remedy which has been sa remarkably suc
cessful In curing every form of piles and
rectal diseases , has recently been placed on
sale at druggists , and It ls ajfo to say that
when Its extraordinary merit becomes fully-
known there will bo no such thing as surgi
cal operations for the cure ot this obstlualo
and common trouble.
Mra. M. C. Hlnkly of C01 Mississippi street ,
Indianapolis , Ind. , says : 1 had bte.i a tcf-
rlblo sufferer from piles for 15 years and no.
remedies benefited mo until I saw nn adver
tisement of Iho Pyramid Pile Cure ; I gel a
package , also n package of Pyramid Pills ,
and used both according to directions. I was ,
astonished at the Immediate relief obtained
and now honestly believe the Pyramid to bo
the only certain cure for piles.
That you may rcallzo how bad I was , 1
\\llt say that I was confined to my bed and ,
went before the college physicians hero , who-
said my case was a new ono to them and
wanted seven or eight hundred dollars to.
undertake a cure ; the Rreat pain had brought
on a rupture , and I knew an operation would
bo ( teatn to mo on account of blood poisoning.
Nearly every one hero knows of my terrible-
suffering , and I feel that I cannot praise ( he-
Pyramid Pllo Cure enough , and the Pyramid
Plllu. alPO. My husband will join mo In
highly recommending1 the Pyramid , my daugh
ter was cured by one box only. For several
years I weighed but about 90 pounds , now I
weigh 150 and feel In perfect health.
This Booms to ba the universal tesllmony
of every sufferer from piles who have ever
tried thu Pyramid ; It is the safest , most
palnlcM pllo cure yet discovered ; contains
no opiates , morphine , cocalno or any poison
ous Ingredients whatever , has a s ollilng *
healing effect from the first application , and
the moderalo price places It within the reach
of every ono needing treutmcnl. Th Pyra
