Mr. Zurmuehlen stated that It was his opinion that the membership could be Increased to 400 within a few months. Executive Committee Busy. The report of Secretary McDonald of the executive committee showed that this body had not been Idle since its formation a month ago. It told of the efforts of the committee to Induce the South Omaha pack ing houses to establish cooling or supply stations in this city in place of delivering meat by open wagon from Omaha. But one of the packing houses has agreed to com ply with the wishes of the dealers In this city, the others protesting on the ground of expense.

Shubert brought tho matter of Inde pendent telephone lines before the meeting and suggested that the club take steps to Induce the independent companies In thla section of the state to establish an ex change In this city. Dr. Macrae also spoke on the tame matter, urging the necessity of connection with these independent com panies. A communication was read from the As sociated Charities in which that organiza tion told of its need for a suitable building and suggested that the Commercial club erect such a building and lease It to the association until such time as It can raise the money to pay for It.

The inquest over Eddie Madsen, th 18-year-old boy who waa electrocuted Tuesday afternoon at a result of climbing one of the electric light company's poles, resulted in the Jury bringing In a verdict In which no blame was attached to the company. At the same time the Jury recommended that the Electric Light company place dan ger signals on Its poles carrying heavy voltage wires. It alao discussed a recom mendation that the company be required to place Its wires underground, but as the members were not agreed on this subject it wst not Included In the verdict. Charles Swalne. Ovide Vlen and William Roper comprised the Jury. , Horace Greer, L. Harle, Kenneth Harmon and Earl Hart, the lads who were playing with ddle Madsen at the time of the acci dent, testified. Their stories corroborated the statement made by Greer shortly after the accident. Alderman Israel Lovett, who Is an electrician, testified that he was a', the scene of the accident a few minutes after the death of the boy and made an In vestigation. He found that the pole steps started eight feet from the ground, so that the boy must have climbed on the fence or adjoining shed to have reached the first step. Electricians, he testified, considered any wire with a voltage of 1,000 or more as a live wire regaidless of insulation. E. A. Sweet, electrician of the Citizens' Gas and Electric company, testified that the wires which young Madsen caught bold of carried a current of 2.300 volts. He de scribed the manner In which the two wires were scorched at the points where young Madsen grasped them. The funeral will be held this morning at 11 o'clock from Trinity Methodist church. Burial will be in Falrview cem etery. Rev. A. E. BurlS will conduct the services. Matters In District Coort. In the suit brouht by J. P.

JAMES WALKER GETS LIMIT OF THE LAW Jndaie Given In Passing Sentence Makes Severe Stricture on Both Walker and Harry Levlch, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, March 4. (Special.) The board of directors of tho State Department of Agriculture held a meeting today for regular business, and among other things appointed a committee to confer with the board of trustees of the State college at Ames in regard to the selection of a presi dent for that Institution. The committee appointed consists of ex-Governor Packard, Marshalltown; C. W. Phillips, Maquoketa, and John Lcdgerwood, Leon. It is the sentiment of the State Board of Agricul ture that the president selected should be Prof. 8. F. Curtles of the chair of animal husbandry of the college, and this com mittee was appointed with a view to urging upon the college board the selection ot Prof Curtlss. The trustees have made no progress whatever in the selection of a president of the college to succeed the late Dr. Bearshear. The committee of tho board assigned to investigate has never made any kind of report on the subject, for no person has been found whom tho committee would care to recommend. The name of Prof. Curtlss was suggested at the outset, but at that time It was be lieved he would be more useful In hi present position, where he has given the college a national standing, and he pre ferred to remain there. But the senti ment among the agricultural classes of tho state has been turning toward Prof. Curtlss and it is believed now he will be selected. Walker Keta the Limit. In the district court today Judge Given sentenced James Walker, colored, to eight years In the penitentiary for the murder of Isaac Finkelsteln, on conviction for man- elaurhter. The Judge, In passing sentence. was especially severe on the defendant, declaring his belief that the evidence had shown him to be guilty of entering Into a conspiracy with Harry Levlch to kill Finkelsteln and to have actually done tho deed. The Judge scored Levlch, who has already been acquitted on the same charge, and declared that the evidence in this case showed beyond any doubt that it waa Levlch who employed the colored man to kill Finkelsteln, and the motive for it was found in his unreasoning hatred of tha dead man. These declarations of the court created a sensation, as they were unex pected and somewhat contrary to popular belief, and there are Indications that some effort will be made to prosecute Levlch In some other way for bis part In the crime. Exposition Commission Meets. The Iowa commission of the 8t. Louis exposition met this afternoon and trans acted general business. The commission divided up the money that was left after the contract for the slate building had been approved and made appropriations for the different departments.

GETTING READY FOR WINDUP Both Branches ot Sonth Dakota Leg islature Raahlnc Bills Through. TIERRE. S. D., March 4. (Special Tele gram.) With the closing days of the ses sion at hand the senate Is passing up talk and rushing bills. It, unlike the house, has no measures to resurrect, as It passes everything which comes along and does It without talk, which proceeding has so far cleared that body of the necessity of morn ing sessions. At today's session the senate passed the senate bill to create county and town boards of health; the general appro priation bill; an appropriation for a sewer at the deaf mute school; a deficiency ap propriation for employes of the senate; empowering boards of charities and of re gents of education to expend money for In surance of buildings In course of erection. House bills passed as laws by the senate were the appropriation for the deaf mute school; for the Madison Normal. The Spearfish Normal bill was tangled In some manner yesterday and again taken up today and given first and second readings and made a special order for tomorrow, when It will pass. It also passed the Sprlngflald Normnl; State university; Yankton asylum: the penitentiary, and the St. Louis fair ex hibit. Besides these appropriations house bills were passed carrying deficiencies for Spearfllsh, the penitentiary and other Insti tutions. The Ninth circuit bill was passed after defeating several attempts to amend and that circuit Is row assured, containing the counties of Beadle, Kingsbury, Spink and Miner. The house at Its morning session passed house bills authorizing the Board of Chari ties to purchase certain lands at Red field asylum; appropriating $2,000 for a cottage at the penitentiary; to prevent the unlaw ful appropriation of stock on the free range; fixing terms of court In the Fifth circuit; providing for election of road overseers; ballot law; Incensing the penalties for burglary. At the afternoon session of the bouse, on motion of Allen, the adverse committee report on the taxation of prod ucts of mines was changed to a favorable report. A bill was Introduced by the Irrigation committee granting to the United States government a tract of land In Aurora county for artesian well purposes. Governor Herreld returned a veto on the bill which attempted to amend the liquor law by providing a penalty for buying liquor for a minor or Inebriate, which veto was based on tho ground that by changing words and punctuation the law would be a meaningless Jumble of words and the effect of the present law killed. The veto was sustained by a veto of 75 to 1. ' The bill to appropriate $10,000 for build ings on the State fair grounds at Huron was called up and discussion cut off by the previous question. It failed to pass for lack of two-thirds majority, but reconsid eration was reserved for tomorrow. The house went Into committee of the whole on the general appropriation bill, in which Gross made a fight on several minor provisions, but the bill was adopted as re turned by the committee with the exception of an addition making provisions for the Womsn's Board of Inspection of Charitable and Penal Institutions. Price made a hard fight to secure an Increase in the appropria tion for the Yankton asylum, but failed. The bill passed by 74 to 2. A number of senate bills were presented and given first and second reading and committee reports returned upon them at once.
