Passes Peacefully Away While Bleeping in

A. It. Harnard was found dead In his bed
at the Ogdcn house shortly after 7 o'clock
yesterday morning. Death wan due to heart
disease , nnd came without nny premonitions.
Mr. tlarnard was a brother of J. F. Uarnard ,
receiver of the Omaha & St. Louis railway.
He has been a rtaldent ot this city for the
past ycnr and a half , assisting with the work
In the olllce ot his brother. He was a fine
looking man and apparently rugged for one
of his advanced age , and for many years had
not known n day of sickness. He has been
making tils liomc at the Ogdcn house during
the absence of his wife and eon In Chicago.
On Tuesday evening he visited hla brother
nt hla home on Washington avenue and re
mained chatting pleasantly until after 10
o'clock. Juat before starting he complained
of feeling a slight depression from what he
believed to be Indigestion. His brother gave
him a peppermint lozenge , anil after eating It
he remarked that It had helped him nnd an
nounced his Intention of getting some more
of them. At the hotel he stopped In the ro
tunda and smoked a cigar. When he started
to take the elevator he remarked to the night
clerk , Mr. Hpperoon , that he hoped he would
not be obliged to suffer as he did on the
previous night from Indigestion. The clerk
made some light remark about hoping that
they would not have to carry him out as
they had several other men who died owl-
dcnly nt the hotel. This was the last time
he was scon alive. No sound came from hl3
room duilng the night that attracted the at
tention ot tl-o people about the hotel. When
It wab found that he was sleeping later than
usual a bell boy was sent to call him. The
door was lacked and no response was made
to raps and the bell boy reported the facts to
the onice. Itlgor mortis had net In when the
body was found. Death hac ! apparently come
fihoftly after he retired. When found he was
dresfcd In his night robes and was apparently
Bleeping peacefully. The body was removed
to Kstep's undertaking rooms after an ex
amination had been made by physicians anj
the fact cHtabllshed beyond doubt that death
had resulted from heart failure.
Mr. Harnard was 71 years oP age. He was
born In Massachusetts , and spent the early
years of his manhood In the Implement busi
ness In the cast. He entered the railroad
business many years ago after his brother
became Identified with railway managements.
Twenty yeara ago ho was located In Council
muffs as general agent of the Kansas City ,
St. Joe and Council Itluffo railway , which was
then controlled and largely owned by his
brother. After J. F. Ilaruard severed his
connection with tbe road nnd took a place In
the managemert of the Ohio & Mississippi
road. A. n. Harnard took the position of
general claim agent ot the company with
headquarters at Cincinnati. He rtmaliicd with
this road until his brother left to take the
position of receiver for the Omaha & St.
Louis road and then shortly afterward came
here.
During hlfl lite In Council niuffe Mr.
Harnard made many warm friends. Ills tem
per was as sunny as a July day , nnd ho
was held In the greatest esteem by those
thrown Into closest contact with him , es
pecially the employes about the olllce.
.Mr. Barnard leaves a wife and son , Charles ,
who are both In Chicago. Arrangements were
made last evening for the funeral. The body
will be taken to Worcester , MEGS. , for burial.
The wife nnd son will meet the train at
Cleveland , Mr. Barnard's mother Is still
living in Worcester and is strong and bright
nt the ago of 90 years. The body will betaken

.School HIIJ-H Urn * an Ordinance.
The efforts of the police to enforce the provisions -
visions of the now bill poster's ordinance led
to a whole lot of trouble yesterday after
noon , and gave the olllcers a chance to sample - '
plo the energy and determination of the
average American schorl boy. The High
school cadets started out with several thou
sand handbills advertising their field day
sports. They were posting them on the bill
boards and scattering them on the streets
when complaint was made by eomo of the
licensed bill posters that the bills were being
distributed by unlicensed labor , and the po-
llco were ordered to enforce the ordinance. A
number of young men were taken Into cus
tody and compelled to walk a block with a
policeman while ho expounded the law to
them. It was not long until every ofllcer on
the day force was engaged In discharging
this duty , while 200 of the other 400 High
fchool boys were busily engaged In scatter
ing the tabooed literature. Before they could
all bo caught and tlu > new law expounded to
them l'-ii work of distribution had been completed -
pletod , and the policemen found themselves
each with a small boy on his handa , who
was willing to tell him that a conspiracy had
been hatched In the High school to beat the
ordinance , and that It had worked like a
charm.

Island cor. Is In trouble again. He was
thought at first to be only Incidentally Im

disposition on the part ot the Hock lulaiul
people to prosecute him. He was not ar
raigned when the other prisoners were , but
his bearing was continued until yesterday.
There was no evidence aealnst him , and ho
was lot go on hla own recognizance , to tp-

mediately taken Into custody at the rcquesl
of the Omaha police department on a charge

people , many of them stretched on their
backs , with arms extended as though ap
pealing for help. Owing to the heat we
were unable to give the remains the attention
which would have permitted their relatives to
identify them.
"Tho space In which we were standing was
speedily Invaded by despairing crowds of
relatives , some of whom had to be forcibly
prevented from leaping Into the flames. "
During the afternoon the bodies of the
Duchcsse d'Alcncon and six others
were Identified. The Duchcsse d'Alcn
con was a sister of the em
press of Austria and sister of the wife
of Prince Ferdinand of France. She was a
duchesso of Bavaria and was born In
1847 and married In 1868. Her daugh
ter , Princess Louise , Is married to
Prince Alphonse of Bavaria and her
son , Prince Pl.llllppe. Is the husband of Prin
cess Henrietta of Belgium. The former
queen of Naples Is one of her sisters. The
duchesso was a woman of great wealth and
one of the most prominent women of France.
The remains of the duchesso were Identified
by her dentist , who examined the teeth of a
charred body which was believed to bo
hers.
Among the last to escape from the burning
building was Baroness do Hciiter , formerly
Miss Barry Potter of Philadelphia.
At 7 o'clock this evening the police xifflclals
announced that ninety-four corpses had been
positively Identified.
Mrs. Porgcs was the only American vic
tim. She was a Miss Wolswellcr. Her
daughter accompanied her to the bazaar and
escaped uninjured. The Porgcs family re
sides In Vienna.
Ono feature which Is generally remarked
of the victims taken to the Palalse de 1'In-
dustrlo 1 % that the head & thrown back and
the arms are uplifted with a peculiarly weird
erfert.
The scene on the Champs Eljsses Is
llko that on ono of the popular fete days.
The throngs are enormous ; from time to time
n solemn hush falls on the crowd and every
head Is bared as the hearse passes by.
Michael Heine , the manager of the Baza.tr ,
admitted last evening that the arrangement
was Illy made , adding : "We ought to have
foreseen that such a disaster as this was
possible , but the stalls were1 Increasing each
year , and wo were very anxious not to lose
an Inch ot ground. "
AN EMPRESS' GRIEF.
VIENNA , May 5. The empress has been
weeping all * day over the loss of her favorite
sister and declines to receive food or nour
ishment. This morning her servants dared
not place a newspaper at her breakfast table.
When she did not nnd It In Its usual place ,
she called for It , and opened It trembling
with anxiety. It was believed that the
Duchess Alcncon was not more than In
jured. After breakfast she went for her
usual walk. Before she returned to her
room she had received a telegram from her
sister the Comtcsse Trlanl , who is In Paris ,
confirming the news of the death of the
duchess. The empress burst Into Bobs and

DES MOINES , la. , Mny D. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The fate of the new revenue I/ill
hangs In the balance tonight and It Is an
even chance whether or not It will be In the
new code. It It Is killed the old law will
take Its place and the state will lose the bene.
( Ha of the careful revision that has been
made. The revision Is believed to assure a
considerable Increase In revenues anil a moro
equitable distribution of the burden of taxes
than was ever before had.
The stumbling block Is the Cheshire amend ,
ment to revolutionize the system of taxing
telegraph , express and Bleeping car coin-
panics. The house has passed the measure as
an amendment to the revenue laws by a
great majority. The senate has defeated It
twice. H Is now In conference. The house
conferees declined to consider any other mat
ters till this was settled. They offered to : e-
cede from practically all the other house
amendments If the eenuto would allow thla
one house amendment to go Into tlio law. The
senate declined to consider the proposition.
Then the senate members prepared a report
for the conference setting forth that It had
failed to agree and asking that new con
ferees bo named. The house members de
clined to agree to disagree they would nut
sign the report and the matter la hung up.
The house threatens openly to kill "he whole
revenue law nnd Is standing behind the con
ferees. Another meeting will bo held to
morrow and the outcome Is absolutely In the
dark.
A bill parsed both hoiiBcs to allow county
supervisors under certain circumstances to
transfer the proceeds of the mulct liquor tax
from the general to the road fund.
The senate cede revision committee hao
prepared a Joint resolution which will como
before the bodies tomorrow and which Is ex
pected to create the largest eensallon ot the
session. II specifies the number , duties and
salaries of employes of state onices who maybe
bo employed at the capital and cuts the num
ber of Janitors and clerks very much. Tl > o
Janitor force of the capltol Is cut In two :
clerks and stenographers are slaughtered
right and left and In all about $20,000 Is to be
saved under the measure. There will be a
fight on It In both houses , but It Is expected
to pasa with some changes.
The printing commlttco in the house 10-
porled a bill this forenoon and It will prob
ably pass. It comes after an Inves'.lgitlon
covering many weeks , which lias been one of
the sensations of the session. It cuts prices
for both the printer and binder about 30 pel-
cent , and will take nearly all the profit out
of the offices. The bill dods not apply to tno
present terms of the printer aild binder , but
an effort will bo made to do am'cnd It that It
will.
will.Tho conference committee oil corporimns
reported on two propositions ariU a now com
mittee was named. The points Nvere the pro
vision to allow street railways to Issue bonds
up to $ IC,000 a mile and to change Incorpora
tion fees for forming farmers' mutual cream
ery coirpjnlea. ' '
The house let down the bars against legal
izing acts and passed a large number ot
them. They will give so imich' ' work for i n-
rollmcnt clerks that adjournment will prob
ably be delayed till next Week.

deal Involving the purchase and remodeling
of the sanitarium building , south of town , and
the establishment of a medical institute , by
Dr. .G. II. Towlo. of Albany , N. Y. , has been
declared off ; nnd thereby hangs a talc. Towle
has boon hero for several days negotiating
with the owners of the property , and every
thing was supposed to have been arranged
satisfactorily to all parties concerned. The
doctor posed us a man financially able to
carry out his intentions , which were freely
given out on an elaborate scale. Mechan
ics wore takin out to the place , estimates
made and plans decided on to Improve and
modernize the buildings. Now the doctor
has disappeared , leaving1 behind an unpaid
board bill. Several men In town regret
having put their hands In their pockets to
accommodate the stranger with various small

CHICAGO , May 5. Some of the western
roads are disturbed over the prospect opened
up before them by the Christian Endeavor
coiucntion In San Francisco and several of
them have declared flatly that If the matter
were to be done again , It would bo done In
a manner vastly different from that In which
It lias been handled. There la no chance of
the roads getting away from the $25 rate
which has already been made by the lines In
the Western Passenger association , for the
reason that some of the roads are tied up
with contracts which will hold them. The
complications of the situation are consider
ably Increased by the prospect of trouble over
the Intermediate rates. A rate of $25 one
way to California will cut all the regular
tariff rates to Intermediate points west of the
eastern line of the state of Colorado , and
with the Intermediate rates to Colorado In a
state of demoralization it will bring about a
troubled condition In the rates to the .Missouri
river. Then the Southern Pacific Insists on
selling castbound tickets at low ratrs at
Intervals up to the middle of Auguat and
that means that low ratco will be in effect
between Denver and Chicago for the months
of July and August.

CHICAGO , May 5. A meeting of the West
ern Passenger association was held In this
city yesterday to formally ratify the action of
the executive committee in regard to the
Christian Endeavor $25 rate to San Francisco
which had been agreed upon.
Although no formal action was taken , thcro
was some discussion over the report oC the
executive committee In regard to the position
of the roads which have not yet signed the
agreement of the reorganized Western Pas
senger association. Only one , the Canadian
Pacific , has positively refused to become a
member , while four roads , the Denver & Rio
Gramlo and Hlo Grande WesternGreat North ,
ern nnd Northern Paclilc Iiavo not signed
agreements. Although the conditions at
tached to the agreements of the northern
roads were not given out there is a well
grounded suspicion for the belief that the
refusal of the Canadian Pacific road U ) Join
the Western Passenger association may re
sult In like action by the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern , which would prevent
a strict maintenance of rates and might lead
to more serious consequences.
Christian Endeavor Itnte * .
CHICAGO , May 5. A general meeting of
the Western Passenger association was held
yesterday for the purpose * of considering the
rates and arrangements for the convention
of the Society of Christian Endeavor , which
Is to bo held In San Francisco. The execu
tive committee of ithc association , which has
had the matter under consideration for the
last week , considered Its report , which has
already been published. The general meet
ing adopted the report of the committee as
far as the lines represented were concerned ,
but there were innny of the lines not repre
sented. It was therefore decided to post
pone definite action until next week , and
Chairman Caldwcll was Instructed to secure
the votes of the lines not represented and
