BLAME FOR A GIRL'S ' DEATH
Faith Healers An Held Responsible for tht
Fate of Ethel Yateg.
PATIENT WAS WELL ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
ijNli'lnn Wan DlNclmrKccl , IIoMvcr ,
li > the Order nf tltc Molltrr unit
the Victim Mel Her Dentil
from I'erltonltlN.
Coroner Trejnor jcaterday morning com
pleted thu inquest over Kthel Yates , the
joung woman from Tabor , la , who died
In this city last Friday night , the
victim of ITcr patent's belief In faith
healing. The jury returned a verdict
to the effect that In Us opinion the death
of nthel Yntes was due to neglect , nnd that
the "IJrothcr" Jamca mentioned In the ev
idence nnd Mrs. P. 11 Yntcs , the mother of
the girl , ant responsible for her fate.
The witnesses examined yesterday were
Dr. Donald Macrae , Jr. , nnd Dr. J. M. Bel
linger. Dr. Macrae , who held the autopsy
on the remains of the young woman , testified
that he found her suffering from appendi
citis , with rupture of the sac , which had
caused general peritonitis. The pelvic cavl-
tlis were Illlod with pus. He elated that In
his judgment there would have been every
chance to have saved thu girl's life had she
been properly treated.
Dr. UelllngT testified that ho was called
to attend Miss Yntcs on Christmas day and
continued to treat her up to January 1 ,
when ho was discharged from the case by
the mother of the young woman. He testi
fied that when ho left her she was Improv
ing and was qulto bright and cheerful. Ho
considered that at that time her condition
was most favorable for recovery nnd ho ex
pected that she would recover. In answer
to a question from ono of the jurors Dr.
Bellinger said that he considered absolute
rest and quiet essential In sickness of the
character from which Miss Yates was suf
fering and that the reverto would bo most
harmful.
At the close of the Inquest Coroner Trcy-
nor decided not to issue warrants for the
arrest of "Healer" James and Mrs. Yates ,
but referred the case to the county attorney ,
ns the grand jury will bo in session today.
DcfeiiMc of blliiN JntiiPN.
"Rev. " Silas J. James of South Omaha ,
the healer referred to In the llndlng of the
jury , called at The Bee office yesterday to
make a statement ns to his connection with
the case of the unfortunate girl. Ho ex
plained lhat ho Is a leader of the Church of
Christ , a sect which accepts divine healing
on the authority of the scriptures , that "tho
prayer of faith shall heal the sick. "
"I was first called to attend the sick girl
on New Year's eve , " said Mr. James , "when
I. was conducting a watch meeting in Coun
cil Bluffs. I only knew her mother slightly
and had prevloualy called at the house only
n fewtimes. . I did not advise Mrs. Yntes
to discharge the phjslclan , ns in my opin
ion the principle of divine , healing should
never bo thrust on anyone , but only offered
au a privilege.
"Mrs. Yates wished mo to sit up with her
daughter , which I did during two nights.
She also asked mo to pray with the flick
girl , which I did. I was misrepresented ,
however , In the statement that I forced Miss
Yntes to listen to my prayers. I did not
oven pray in her presence , but retired to
another room. While I was with her the
girl slept well and was apparently improv
ing. I did not hear her nsk for a doctor
and did not advlso against one being called.
I was simply there ns a minister of the
gospel and took no responsibility in the
cnso whatever. If Mrs. Yates discharged
the physician and did not yield to her
daughter's pleading , that was done on her
own responsibility. "

Annual llenort of the Hoard Sub

At the annual meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the public library held yesterday
afternoon President D. C. Bloomer submitted
the annual report of the trustees , which has
by law to bo filed with the city council.
This report was compiled by Mr. Bloomer
nnd In presenting It , ho stated to the board ,
ho said it would In nil probability he the
last ho would be called upon to submit. The
report is exhaustive and shows the condi
tion of the institution and gives n detailed
account of nil moneys received and expenses
nnd other Intel eating data in connection with
the library and Its management. It shows
that with the balance on hand on January
1 , 189D , the total Income of the library for
the last twelve months was $5,762.36 and the
expenditures $4,125.31 , leaving a balance on
hand to start the now jear with of | 1,037.05.
The number of hooks added to the library
during 1899 by donation and purchase was
3C2 , at a cost of $329,50. The following Is
taken from the report-
The llbrno has received 432 volumes and
pamphlets from the general government
and those , with similar donations previ
ously received from the sumo rouice , nro
deposited In a separate room nnd all care
fully arranged In bookcases , but n much
larger room Is greatly needed for convenient
reference nnd access to them. In this col-
loctlon of government books and documents
are Included a eieat number of valuable
maps of land , oceans , rivers and lakes , con
taining a wonderful amount of useful Infor-
The number of books circulated during the
5 ear has been f > 3310 nnd of this number only
four books have been lost The number of
magazines taken from thu library was 5,717
and this largts circulation of magazines has
considerably reduced the number of books
called for The reading loom Is well sup
plied with newspapers and magazines , seven
dallj papers beins Included
The onb expenses Incurred during the
year beyond the ordlunrj charge on the li
brary fund have been for now bookcases for
the 160111 M > t apart for government books
and for an Aldrkh cabinet for the preser
vation of letters and other pupurs of strik
ing Interest and Importance. We should bo
glad to have such luttors and papers left In
the library to be placed In this case where
tlw will at nil t.mrs be open to public In-
upeotlon.
It will bo noticed that a considerable
amount Is paid for the rcblmllnt ? of books
each jear This Is made neccssarv by the
Homouhal careless manner In which books
are. handled and used by thoho taking them
from the llhr.ir * If book takers would uw
the books with a llttln more care it would
cut clou n this Item a good deal In addi
tion to those thus rebound a largo number

the last > enr uud much expense thereby
saved In this work , which has Included
many .hundred volumes wo .ire laruely In

B K Hluck , ono of our assistant librarians
Wo rusrct that the reduced Income of the
library hu to some extent lessoned the Held
of Its uhcfiiliieti.i in somu former > cars this
income amounted to nearly ftS.OOO , but foi
the last jear enl > J4lW S8 was received and
this amount will bu reduced to about $3,40C
In 1SOO Wo have endeavored to cut down
our cxj > ensei , to meet this reduction The
rent of the library room has been lowered
We have reduced the aggregate salaries ot
our librarian and asslbtants to JlOj per

free public llbrnrv In the state They
\otPd for Its creation at the city election
of 1W ) , but It was not until the sprlnc ot
1S ! thnt the library was fully organized
nnd commenced Its enlightening mission
At that dale no other free public library
existed In Iowa , but since then others In
considerable numbers have sprung Into ox-
Istrnco In Its cities nnd towns , nnd the
interest in them has been Increasing from
year to year A state free library asso
ciation ban been formed nnd Its last an
nual meeting , held In November last , was
Attended by a lame number of delegates
from the dlffo nt llbra.rlfs In the state.
In this number were Included our presi
dent and librarian , who each derived much
useful Information from the papers read
nnd discussions which took place In re
lation to llbrnrv management The asso
ciation ndnpted strong resolutions In favor
of the appointment of n stnto library commission -

tendecl with bonellclnl results In the pro

Our library continues to bo located in

the Merrlam block , between Pearl and
Main ntrccts. They are well lighted and
easy of access bj- stairways nnd nn ele

wo regret very much to be compelled to
confess thnt they are rented rooms No
public building- has jet been erected In
our city for the use of Its frco public li
brary , either through prlvnte liberality or
public enterprise. Such buildings have been
erected In other cities by the votes of the
people nnd have therefore become public

cldo yesterday by severing the artery in his

It was believed that Nickrant would re
cover.
Nickrant came to Council Bluffs about a
jear ago from St. Joseph and entered the
employ of Florist Wilcox. In the early part
of last summer he suddenly loft home and
his family feared that ho had done away
with himself , as he had often talked of end
ing his life.
Ho was n heavy drinker nnd frequently

keep from drinking. After he had been away
for about two -weeks ho returned home ,
but gave no account of where he had been.
About a week ago ho lost his position with
Wilcox owing to his drinking habits and ho
has been despondent ever since.
