IAS ONE RISEN FROM DEAD Man Supposed t Have Died Walks in and Surprises Hit Family, ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR FUNERAL AH the ton f anion tomes from t't Men Having; the Same Name and Letter Flelnsr Delivered ta Wrong Man. When E. W. Miller, a lineman in the em ploy of the Western Union Telegraph com pany, went to visit his family in Sac City Sunday, he was greeted as one arisen from the dead. He found the family in mourn ing and sadly awaiting the arrival of his supposed dead body from Council Bluffs. Preparations for his funeral had proceeded to the extent that the grave had been dug and other arrangements made. A letter from Miss Maggie Miller to her brother, the lineman, addressed to Council Bluffs, which had been wrongly delivered to E. W. Miller, a patient at the Woman's Christian Association hospital, who died at that institution a few days ago, was respon sible for the mistake. The E. W. Miller who died, had been a, resident of Council Bluffs for nearly twenty years, during which time ho was employed In the Burlington freight office. Nothing, however, was known about his relatives, but among hia effects was found this letter from Miss Maggie Miller of Sac City. Word was sent to Sac City and Miss Miller, supposing that It was her- brother who had died, ordered the body sent there, and the lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, to which Lineman Miller belonged, forwarded $50 to defray the ex pense of shipping the . remains to Sac City, It happened that there was some delay in forwarding the body and this alone prevented the Miller family In San City from receiving the corpse of a stranger. E. W. Miller, the lineman, had been working for two or three weeks in Council Bluffs, and while here stopped at the Metropolitan hotel on Broadway. About a week ago he went to Wall Lake without notifying his family, and they were con sequently unaware that he had left here. Sunday he decided to aurprise hia folks and rode to Sac City on his bicycle. Miller lost no time in hastening to Coun cil Bluffs and the undertaker's, where the body of E. W. Miller, the man who was really dead lay. But for his return the body would have been shipped to Sae City early yesterday morning. Aa It Is, It will now be Interred in Walnut Hill cemetery this afternoon in a grave purchased by the nifirnhflri of the First Congregational church. PROTEST IS SIDETRACKED Council Decides to Go Ahead with Fixing- Up Lldsett Property - for Pest Honao. The protest against the city using the Lld gett property, which It recently purchased, for a pest house or Isolation hospital, was presented at the meeting of the city coun cil last night and as had been -expected the aldermen declined to take any notice of It beyond ordering that the communication be Died away In the municipal archives. The protest was signed by about twenty resi dents and property owners of that part of the city who in the same' communication served notice that- if the city authorities tall to heed the protest, suit will be brought to enjoin it from using the premises tor a pest house or similar purpose. At a meet ing of the Board of Health following the city council session City Physician Hough ton was authorised to secure the services of a man and his wife, both to be smallpox lmmuncs, who will live in the house and assist in the care of whatever patients may be sent there. The city physician was also instructed to have the necessary furniture placed in the house at once, as until the premises are occupied the city cannot ob tain any Insurance on the building. It waa decided to maintain the present watchman until such time as the city physician secures the services of a man and his wife. The Qroneweg aV Schoentgen company asked permission to pave a strip nineteen feet wide in front of its warehouse on South Ninth street, between Broadway and First avenue, with granite block In place of brick, as provided tor in the contract with Wlckham. The company desired this change of material on account of the heavy hauling at this particular point from and to their warehouse platform. As there was some question as to whether a change at this time In the manner of paving the street might not Invalidate the contract and pos sibly nullify the assessment of the im provement against the other property own ers the matter was laid over for the opin ion of the city attorney. The strip which the Oroneweg ft Schoentgen company de sired paved with granite block Is ninety feet In length. Alexander Wood and W. M. Piper, owners of twenty-one acres lying east of South First street, which they claim are used solely for agricultural and horticultural purposes and consequently exempt from taxation for city purposes, asked that they be refunded all city taxes which they had paid on this property lor the years 189ft, 1900 and 1901, and that the tract be exempt from the taxes of 1903 and all following years. The request was referred to the city solicitor. A committee consisting of the mayor and Aldermen Tlnley and Casper, wss appointed to confer with the attorneys of Henry Locke and ascertain for how much the latter's personal Injury claim could be settled for, The former city council at a private con-. ference with Attorney John Llndt, in' atructed the city attorney to confess judg ment In the sum of 12,000, but Mayor Jen' nlngs vetoed the resolution and a motion to set aside the Judgment was filed In the district court, where It has never been pasted upon. In the matter of the personal Injury suit of Miss Lena Woods, the city solicitor wss instructed to confess Judgment for $260, In full settlement. Miss Woods asked $2,000 damages for injuries received while cross ing the Fifth avenue bridge before it waa repaired. C. E. H. Campbell was awarded the con tract tor repairing the North First street bridge over Indian creek on his bid of $845. Specification for a new steel combination bridge, with a forty-two-foot span over Indian creek at Twenty-third avenue were approved, and the city clerk Instructed to advertise for bids. Alderman McDonald called the attention of the aldermen to the immediate neces slty tor repairing the paving on South f ourcn street, out wss met with a cry of no money." Alderman Casper sug geated that nothing be done until spring, but as a compromise It was decided to taks the brick with which the city had re paired the old cedar block paving on Har rlson from that street and use it to patch up the holes on Fourth street with. It wss suggested that the people on Harrison street might object to this proposition, but the council decided to run the risk. When former Street Supervisor Taylor's bill for his last month's salary was brought up as usual, Alderman Tlnley suggested that It be paid, and that If It was found that he was Indebted to the city, his bonds men could be held liable. Alderman Cas per, however, objected, and on his motion it was decided to ascertain the amount which It was claimed Taylor was Indebted to the city and offset that against hia claim for salary. Alderman Fleming railed attention to the delay of Contractor Wlckham in carrying out his sidewalk contract, and urged that the council take some action to compel Wlckham to do the work. Wlckham as sured the council he was only too willing to do the work, but that ha had been un able to secure sufficient men. The council took no action. Gravel roofing. A. H. Reld. 641 Broadway.

Dr. Salter Which Row tanas In Historical Department. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 24. (Special.) State Auditor Merrlam Is In the east and Is sup posed to have been for the last two weeks engaged In making sundry examinations ot Insurance companies doing business In Iowa and consulting with the Insurance men In regard to their Iowa business. It Is learned that one thing which is causing a great deal ot concern among the insurance companies Is that of the adoption of the new Iowa un iform policy proposed by the state auditor and prepared jointly by htm and by the at torney general to conform to the Iowa stat utes in regard to fire insurance. Only a few of the companies doing business In the state have, signified a willingness to adopt the proposed policy, and even they are holding back until they see what the big companlea will do about it. The time Is fast approach ing when they must decide, for if the in coming state auditor Insists upon following the line of policy laid down by the attorney general and present state auditor they will have to comply before they can continue doing business In Iowa after January 1 next. A circular has just been Issued by the west ern manager for one of the leading eastern lire insurance companies making an attack on the proposed uniform policy and pointing out where it Is alleged the policy would be detrimental to business and where It ap pears to not conform to the Iowa laws as the insurance people interpret them. This Is being freely distributed among Insurance men of the state and country. Another has come out with a circular letter advising the companies to withhold approval of the pol icy until a general convention or confer ence of the managers can be held and an agreement reached as to what line of policy to pursue. The leading men In the com panies which are oomblned on Iowa business are said to favor refusal to accept the Iowa policy, but so many of the smaller com panies have Indicated they would like to comply with it and regard the policy as good that it is as yet uncertain what course will be pursued. The new state auditor, Senator B. F. Carroll, has not aa yet signi fied what policy he will pursue and will not take it up until after he goes Into office. Presenting; Handsome Portrait.

The H O 22 Company RUSSIANS ARE NOT ALARMED Accession of Uncle of Baler Not Regarded as Unpopular. FRENCH MESMERIST CONTROLS THE CZAR Influence, However, Begins to Wane and Evil Effect la Not Longer Fenred by tho Ministers of His Majesty. ST. PETERSBURG!. Nov. 24. It has been learned that the recent summoning of Dr. Merzhievsky, one of the foremost special ists in nervous diseases, to the south of Russia, which gave rise to the report that he was going to' attend the -czar or the czarina or both, their majesties having In turn been alleged to be suffering from melancholia, was to vlBit Balaklava, where Grand Duke Nicholas Konstanlvltch Is de tained as insane. Some observers of the situation do not believe that tha accession ot Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the czar, to the throne In the event of the czar's abdication and the death of his brother. Grand Duke Michael, the heir presumptive, would be unpopular and they do not credit the re ports that the advent to supreme power ot the Vladimir family would materially alter the existing state of affairs, as the masses are ignorant in regard to the czar'a true character and the educated people attach merely subordinate importance thereto. The possible effect of the Draconian sys tem under a sterner ruler or the prospects of a possible revolutionary movement Is regarded as Idle speculation. Mesmerist Controls the Ciar, The latest reports about Phlllpp, the mes merist, who Is said to have the czar com pletely under his influence, are that he is a former French physician, a naturalized American, and that he has been In Russia for about a year, living In the homes of two Montenegrin princes who married Rus sians. It is said that the czar granted Phlllpp the right to practice medicine In Russia and to wear the epaulettea ot a military surgeon of rank of a councillor ot state, which equals that of a general. Finally, It is asserted that the court physician. Dr. Ott, went to Llvadla and succeeded In per suading the czar to forbid Phlllpp to prac tice on the czarina, and the departure of the ministers ot wsr, of the Interior and of finance from Llvadla was Interpreted as a sign that Phllipp's Influence was broken. It is also said that those ministers Jointly presented a report to his majesty discred iting Phlllpp,- that the czar defended Phlllpp and resented what he classed as Interfer ence with his personal affairs, but finally yielded. This Is looked upon In some quarters as evidence that the optimistic statements on WUAL Greatest ss3 the subject of the czar's mental condition require limitation. Numerous persons who have returned from Llvadla within the past three days assert that the czar hai been moody and disgusted because his early hopes of introducing a happier regime In Russia were frustrated by the reactionists, whose intimidation imposed a distasteful role upon him.
