'DIES AFTER HOURS OF INTENSE SUFFERING
Infant Danghte of H. areenknrc
th Victim of; Accldeitt and
' Parcuta Are Proatrated
with Grief.
Eva Fanny Oreenberg, lS-months-old baby
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Oreenberg, 1306
Capitol avenue, died Friday morning from
phosphorus poUonlng caused by swallowing
the heads of parlor matches.
The parents did not seem to realise the
, necessity for k physician at. first, but gave
bome remedies to produce vomiting, al
though the matches were eaten before 4.30
In the afternoon, Dr. Sher was not called
until almost 9 o'clock. When he arrived
the poison had already gone through the
whole system. The baby died at 1:30 In the
morning.
The mother was prostrated with grief this
morning and unable to talk, but the father
told the story.
"I was away yesterday at my work at
Sherman & Cohen's meat market, and Mrs.
Oreenberg and the three little ones were
nt home. Ueslile the baby, we have two
boys, 8 and 6 yiars old. My wife has not
been feeling well lately and about the
middle of the 'afternoon she laid down
upon a bed With the baby in her arms.
She was awakened about 4:30 by the
child's crying and found It lying on the
foor in much pain. Near by her were
novel al moist heads of matches. A drawer
of the bureau was open and the child had
discovered a box of matches there.
"It was awful for the mother. While
the baby was crying in pain, the boys were
outside playing and laughing. . She con
trolled herself sufficiently to send one of
them for me, and then she collapsed. Dr.
Sher did all he could, but could not save
the" baby."
Coroner Bralley was .notified, but as the
death was plainly an accident, an Inquest
was rot thought necessary. The funeral
was held tills afternoon.
NO MORE SCOTLAND FOR HIM

W. B. McQueen of Hay Springs, Neb.,
was a guest at the Merchants hotel Fri
day, on his return from a visit of two or
three months at his old home in Scotland.
MrMcQueen was not particularly enthu
siastic over the present conditions in Scot
land. "I wouldn't go back there to live if they
Would deed me the whole island," he said.
"Nebraska Is good enough for me. The
people are too slow back there. They are
goon and honest enough, but they lack
In enterprise, spirit and push, and seem
content to let things go and come as they
will and accept them as Inevitable without
the slightest effort to Improve their sur
roundings or take advantage of modern im
provements. Of course It Is different In
the cities. But In the country districts
the easy, slow-going nature of the people
would kill a Nebraakan In a week."

Social Hoar Whlled Away with Music,
After Which the Feast and the
Speechea Delight Members
and Gueata,
The sixteenth annual reception and ban
quet of the Ohio association was given last
night at the Millard hotel, and was In all
respects an enjoyable and notable event.
The banquet was preceded with a social
hour in the Millard parlors, followed with
a musical program. The musical numbers
rendered were first a piano solo by Elmer
Umsted, followed with a vocal rendition,
"Sleep, My Baby, Sleep," by Mrs. A. O.
Edwards, with Mrs. Wilbur as piano accom
panist. Mrs. Edwards was most enthusi
astically applauded and kindly responded
with an .encore. Mr. Umsted tbe,n gave
another piano selection, after which the
association and friends adjourned to the
large dining room on the second floor, where
a banquet was served. Ths taA) es were ar
ranged In the form of a horr.e shoe, and
were prettily decorated witb. potted plants,
palms, etc. The proceeding were opened
with an Invocation by J.v. W. H. Rey
nolds Following the d!scusr40n of the material
feast, Charles D. Thompson, president of
the society, as toatmaster, delivered a
brief address of grating, in which he paid
a tribute to the greatness of Ohio men and
women. "Tet a -Btate," he said, "I not
greater than its -common people. Such an
association as that is good for men and
women. It is sall for us to recall the days
of the past w'i.n the world was full of bios
som and llf'a -was a summer's dream, as In
our old 0140 days."
Cf4ftaln Palmer on Ohio.
In thv absence of Judge Sears, Captain
Henry E. Palmer was called upon to re
spond, to the toast. "Ohio," which he did In
a vtfy eloauent manner. He annka nt th
daja of the "Underground Railway," and
f William Lloyd Garrison. Joshua R. Old
Ongs and Benjamin F. Wade, as .the prime
actors in the system, so called because
of the methods adopted In Ohio to assist
the slaves to escape to freedom. A feature
of Captain Palmer's address was a fl8h
story. It was In effect that when the cap
tain was a boy he assisted In Ashing from
Madison wharf near his boyhood home In
northern Ohio on Lake Erie, where they
used to flsh with seines a thousand feet Ions.
"We made a big haul one day," said the
captain, "and among tho other fish was a
very large one that seemed determined to
break through the net, so I jumped into
the lake and made for him. I caught him
by one of the gills, and fearful of losing my
hold grabbed him by the other gill with
the other hand, and by this means I was
brought astride the big fish. The old fel
low was mad and cut through the seine
with me on his back and made a dive for
the bottom. I held on, and soon learned
that I could guide the flsh by pulling on
one or the other of the gills, and when we
came to the surface again I just guided
him ashore, where we took him In." He
told further of Ohio's work In the war. and
how It was the mother of flva presidents
of the United States.
Som Farther Toasts.
Colonel N. M. Howard .the veteran of the
association, who halls from the beautiful
Maumee In Lucas county, gave a very Inter
esting story of the days of Oho of sixty or
more years ago. He related a number of
Incidents In which the two famous Ohio
characters. General Joe Gelger and Hon.
Sam Galloway, ths two most notoriously
ugly men of the United Stater figured. Gsl-
lowsy and Gelger were each Jealous ef tbe
other's ugliness, while both of them were
men of towering genius and wit.
Colonel Howard was followed by Miss C.
C. Tennant Clary of South Omaha, who rer
sponded to the toast, "Ohio Women," In a
brief address. "The glory of the Ohio
women," she said, "Is the glory of the
Ohio ' men."
Rev. J. E. Hummon spoke briefly of the
early struggles of the older pioneers of
Ohio, and the later struggles of Its younger
sons.
Judge Slabaugh directed his remarks to
the peculiar products of Portage county of
which he Is a native and as to how the
county got its name.
Ohio Knox Of Council Bluffs gave a short
story of the famous Holmes county rebel
lion during the civil war, and Charles A.
Goss of Omaha, another Portage county
man, told of the days of McKlnley and
Garfield. Rev. Snyder of Council Bluffs
gave a number of interesting reminiscences
of the early days of the Buckeye state.
Covers were laid for 128 men and women
and withal the banquet and reception were
the most successful and largely attended
of any yet given by the society.

BEMIS TELLS HIS OWN STORY
Former Mayor Gives an Account of
Ilia Career Ip to the Time Ho
"', '. " Waa Hart. ,
Former Mayor George P. Bemla was the
last witness for himself on Friday In the
damage case he Is prosecuting against the
city for a large amount for personal in
juries. Mr. Bemls went on the stand at -
o'clock Friday afternoon and was still on
the stand at adjournment. He told, in an
swer to questions by his attorney, Mr. Con-
nell, how he had started In as clerk in a
New Tork grocery store at the age of IS
then of following other occupations until
the war broke out, when he enlisted from
Boston.
After being honorably discharged he went
abroad and helped to edit a paper in Lon
don. He came to Omaha in 1868 to care for
the private business of his relative, George
Francis Train. He has lived here ever
since, with the exception of short periods
of Vavel ond since 1870 has been In the
real estate business. He told of being
mayor for four years, being first elected in
November, 1891.
Coming along to ths time of his accident,
Mr. Bemis said his ordinary and usual
route home to Twenty-third and Douglas
was via the north side of Farnam street or
up Douglas street. He waa proceeding
along the north side of Farnum Just above
the Davidge block on the early evening of
April 25, 1902, when a signboard blew over
and pinned him down so that several men
were required to lift the board off him. The
injuries received were described and the
fact mentioned that he had been laid up In
bed for a year as a result.
Mr. Hemls. in reply to his attorney's
questions, said he knew nothing of the
character of the construction of the sign
boards at the location mentioned, except
In a genera way, as he saw them from day
to day. He had no thought of danger when
passing them on the day of the accident or
at any other time.
Preceding Mr. Bemls on the stand were
Chief Clerk Reed of the looal weather bu
reau; Captain Mostyn, then acting chief of
police; City Clerk Elbourn and City Engl
neer Rosewater. Their testimony was of a
tecnnicai character largely, regarding
weatner, city ordinances, sidewalk lines,
billboards, policing. H E. Schestedt, a car
penter and builder, also testified concerning
me cnaracter or the billboards.
Occasionally during the testimony of these
witnesses Messrs. Breen and Connell
wouia nave a mtie argument as to the
"Improper, Immaterial, Irrelevant," etc., na
ture of the evidence, but there was nothing
to keep the Jury strung to any very high
pitch.
The case will continue this morning.
JURY QUESTION, TAKES TIME
Judges Spend Many Honra la Forma,
latins; an Opinion on ths
Topic. ' ,
While the four law judges of the district
court had announced a belief that they
could decide the Jury quashing motion on
Friday morning, the whole day passed
without a decixlon being reached. All four
judges held an early morning conference,
but at 10 o'clock Judge Estelle broke out
to go on with the Bemls case. Then the
judges got together at I o'clock again and
conferred until 1,. when Judge Eetelle again
went to his own court room.
Judges Day, Kennedy and Redick stuck
to the consideration of the case ajl after
noon, being anxious to get It decided and
some action under way as soon as possible.
It was after I o'clock when they called In
Judge Day's stenographer, Mr. Heller, to
make notes. At I o'clock they were Mill
engaged on this troublesome problem of
how to get good jurymen, and a decision
ui deferred until Saturday morning.
The long delay In getting to an agree
ment after hearing the argument has
raised all sorts of conjectures iu the minds

rank aside from those on duty as members
of the general staff now on duty In the De

ROOM FOR JUVENILiT COURT
Coaaty Commissioners Wlli 3e Asked
to Provlda On Ootslde the
Coart Hons.
It Is expeo'ed that the county commis
sioners will at their next session receive a
request that a suitable room be provided In
which to hold the sessions of the Juvenile
court. It Is difficult to see Just where this
can be provided In the court house, and ths
final solution may be s room outside, which
would really seem to be (he Ideal thing, un
der the careful terms of the law.
Judge Day said Friday morning that al
ready the merit of the law has been quits
strongly brought out, especially In the cass
of a young girl who had been Inclined to be
headstrong and careless. Without any fuss
or publicity she bad been brought to going
willingly to the House of ths Oood Shep
herd, where she will be given a correct Idea
of the evils she escaped,
broached tha proposition to fit up and use
the attic of the court house, which, has a
high celling, for Jury rooms. IU thinks It
possible. If this is done, to also fit up
juvenile court there. This scheme. In ths
present state of the count's finances
sounds quite distant, and the chances are
that tha attlo will not come Into use for
some time.
Several boys have also been given over to
