SUMMONS COMES AT fOUR IN MORNING

Abo, Mr. Sah garprtae All by
Remarkable Vitality Dl
played Against Death.
Edward V. Nash, president of the Amer
ican Smeltinc and Refining company,' one
of the most prominent citizen of Nebraska
nnd the west and an Important factor In
national commercial centers, died nt 4:10
Saturday morning at the Nash residence.
I it Burt street, after so Illness of two
I months, during which time ha made a gal-
lnt fight against the malady With which
l he waa stricken on the evening of May 22.
J while at a dinner party given at the home
of Herman Kountae. Forest Hill.
While the various physicians, both of
Omaha and Chicago, who were called In
attendance on the distinguished patient,
offered little hope of ultimate recovery dur
ing any time of the Illness. Mr. Nash pos
sessing a wonderful vitality, appeared to
rally at times, and thus Inspired the hopes
of relatives and friends. The real collapse
of the patient began Saturday morning,
from which time until death dissolution
was in progress. Death came while
the patient was In a calm and peaceful
condition for an hour.
All of the Immediate relatives of the fam
ily were present when the final summons
came. Dr. Victor H. Cffman had called a
few hours before, as much as an old friend
of the family as a physician and to bo at
hand for tiny emergency. Soon after he left
the final change euine over the patient.
Those at the Deathbed.
Those who gathered around the bedside
A the lust hour of life were: Mrs. Nash,
the wife; F. A. Nash, brother; Mrs. L. F.
Crofoot, Mrs. George Myers and Misses
Esther and Frances Nash, daughters;
Louis Charles Nash, son; L. F. Crofoot and
Harry Cartan. Mrs. Myers, whose home is
In Dubuque, has been here on and off
during the Illness of her father. Mr. Cartan
returned from California lust Thursday
evening. Mrs. J. I. Woodward, sister of
Mrs. Nash, and her husband also were ut
the deathbed.
Mr. Nash was stricken with paralysis
Monday evening. May 22. The stroke was
the result of cerebral hemorrhage. From
the very first his condition Was
considered grave. Drs. Crummer, Al -llson
and Bridges of this city
were first called and they at once pro
nounced the case a serious one. Dr. Hugh
Patrick cf Chicago was summoned and he
arrived on a special train the evening after
Mr. Nash was stricken. Dr. Patrick ot
tered little hope of recovery, the affliction
being a, usually Incurable one. Dr. Patrick
made several trips to the Nash home with
the hope that constant attendance might
restore the patient. Dr. Frank Billings
of Chicago, a celebrated specialist, also
was called, but he, too, could offer but
little hope for Mr. Nanli. The best that
the medical profession could do was to as
sist the patient In his fight for life and
delay the final hour. One and all say the
patient held up with remarkable bravery,
his great vitality standing him In good
stead during his last Illness.
Home bat a Short Time.
Mr. Nash came to Omaha from New York
City a few weeks before he was taken
sick to enjoy a season of rest. The death
of his daughter, Mrs. Harry Cartan, and
son, Fred Nash, 2d., together with the great
business responsibilities on him, were be
ginning to tell on his health.
During the two months' of Mr. Nash's
sickness he had been conscious most of the
time, particularly up to two weeks ago.
Up to last Monday he was able to recog
nize his devoted wife. Mrs. Nash has been
at the side of her husband faithfully.
Members of the bereaved family say she
I has been the prop and mainstay of the
household during the trying ordeal. Never
once has she given up hope and not until
the eyelids of her husband were closed In
death Saturday morning would she
acknowledge the Inevitable was near. -
Many telegrams were sent from the Nash
residence Saturday morning to close friends
and associates all over the United States
and to Canadx. Mexico and Chill. Besides,
the officials of the local offices of th Union
Pacific and Milwaukee roads are sending
messages over their lines. A telegram at
once waa sent to Daniel Guggenheim, chair
man of the executive committee of the
American Smelting and Refining company;
ex-Governor J. B. Grant of Denver, an old
associate of Mr. Nash; all of the executive
officers of the American Smelting and Re
fining company; Edward Cudahy, now at
Mackinaw island; Mrs. A. R. Graves,
mother of Bishop Graves of Kearney and
step-mother of E. W. Nash, and many
others. Mr. George Myers of Dubuque,
on-ln-law, is expected In the city at onde.
Shook to the Community.
The news of Mr. Naab's death was a
topic of conversation in Omaha Saturday.
While his death was not altogether unex
pected, when It did come In was no less a
shock 4o the community as well as to many
living In different parts of the country.
Mr. Naah having close acquaintances In
most of the large cities of the country.
Many inquiries and callers have, been re
ceived at the Nosh residence during the
the last two months, the patient's condl
tlon and progress being a subject of keen

tal strength and remarkable vitality have
been frequently remarked on, which char
acurlatics many believed might carry him
through.

Own Way.
Edward W. Nash was bom In 184 at
Akron. O. He was educated In the public
. hool. and at an early age went to Can
ada, where his father was engaged In
gold mining. About the close of the civil
war he went to New Orleans and Galveston
and workei tor a time as bookkeeper for
firm of cotton broker In the latter city.
Ing for two year, marrying Miss Cath
erine Barheeu of St. Marie, Quebec. He
brought his bride to Omaha In 17, land
ing here with only ISO In Ms pocket, and
no Job or arrangements for any. He soon
found work aa freight trucker for the
Union Pacific, but his native ability was
Soon perceived and he was called to the
railway headquarters and given a place In
the auditing department. Two year or ee
later, some of the men with whom Mr.
Nash came In contact, became Interested
In the new Omaha Smelting company. He
went to this concern aa head bookkeeper
and remained with It, gradually rising t
secretary and accountant, and then a a
stockholder.
Keep rare with rm pa ar

and a every successive evolution of the
smelter as the Omaha Smelting and Refin
ing company ai.d Omaha and Grant Smelt
ing company, which took In a similar plant
at Denver. In later years his official connec
tion was secretary and stockholder, but his
real prestige was much greater than these
terms generally Imply. When the Ameri
can Smelting and Refining comfiany, com
bining most of the Industries of the kind
In the country, was organised In 1KH, Mr.
Nash was made president, an office he re
tained when the corporation became the
American Smelter's Exploration company
less than a year ago.
The Omaha smelter, of which Mr. Nash
was largely responsible for the develop
ment, hi the largest output In point ct
value of any smelter or refinery In the
world.
Besides actively managing the affair of
tho smelting trust, which Is capitalised at

business Institutions and real estate.
Lever of Hone Life.
Mr Nash was a member of the Lawyers'
club of Denver, but was not a club man,
In the meaning of the term, having strong
preferences for a quiet, domestic life. He
was a man of unoatentatlon, charm and
geniality of manner, and he unconsciously
made friends, even of business opponents.
The home of the family Is a large dwelling

CHARAtTER SKETCH BY BARTOX
Splendid Tribute from Old Friend and
Bnnlne Anaoelatn.
Few, successful men were more highly
esteemed by their friends and close ac
quaintances than E. W. Nash. In life or
death they spoke of him with remarkable
affection. Of the men Intimately associated
with him for the last twenty-five years
none was closer than Guy C. Barton, whose
financial aid put the local smelting works
on Its feet In the early '70s.
"The character of Mr. Nash, said Mr.
Barton, "can be expressed briefly and
truthfully by the mere statement that he
waa one of the nicest men who ever lived
In Omaha. In many respects his character
was admirable and as a business man ho
was brilliant.
"It was the -enterprise of Mr. Naah that
really made the Omaha . smelting works.
He got Into It when It was a very orude
affair and, seeming to grasp the needs of
the situation, started but to satisfy them.
He Induced me to buy a controlling Interest
In the stock and thus obtained the financial
assistance that the smelter had to have. I
had no experience In the smelting business
up to that time and he came out to North
Platte to my ranch and presented the case.
Logically I was elected president of the
company, although I knew nothing what
ever about the smelting business. Mr. Nash
taught me all I know about It and was par
ticularly kind and patient and fine In doing
It. His ability to understand the early sit
uation and his knowledge of the Ins and
outs of the smoltlng business was what
gave him his right to be one of the big men
of the company and later In the consolida
tions that were made.
Canto Hero Poor.
"As Is well known Mr. Nash cam to
Omaha a poor young man and got a Job
wheeling freight. He was one of the best
accountants I have ever seen, however, and
It was not long before he was a bookkeeper
In the office of the auditor of the Union
Pacific. From this position he went with
the group of men who were struggling to
make the smelter a success. It was not
very long before he became virtually their
leader. '
"He was a man who never took a vaca
tion. Recreation seemed to be an Impossi
bility to him. He had no fads or hobbles.
Many times I tried to get him Interested In
things outside his work, but" his nature
seemed Incapable of relaxation or applica
tion to anything ebw. During th Jong
years mat ne served as secretary and treas
urer of the smelting companies he was at
his desk Incessantly during business hours.
When he became president of the American
Smelting and Refining company In New
York It was the same thing. Always work
ing, working, working. Outings and ex
cursions did not appeal to him, and almost
with tears In my eye I urged him timo
and time again to take his family and go
some place where business cares could not
reach him and take a good long rest. His
death at the age of 59, stricken down sud
denly and going to pieces all at once. Is
the result of nis intense absorption in busi
ness. There Is no other reason for It, as
Mr. Nash was always a temperate man and
had a strong and-rugged constitution.
Hath tor tho Plaeo.
"When the consolidation of all the smelt
ing companies waa made our company was
entitled to the presidency by reason of Its
being the largest. I Immediately named Mr.
Nash and he Immediately proposed me.
This Illustrate his character a well a
anything ele entlally generous and
willing to step back Into second place with
out a thought. I Insisted, however, upon
hi assuming th head of th big com
pany, for which he was by all manner and
mean fitted. Several month dragged by
before he consented to become president,
and only then at the solicitation of Mrs.
Nash, who wished to go to New York for
superior educational advantages for thei
children.
"Mr. Nash waa a man of quick Judgment
and his opinion waa so nearly often the
correct one that be might be aald to have
been always right on such matter. Con
stantly immersed In commercial affair he
never puxtled over a new condition, but
net It qMckly, squarely and fflclentljr.
When he came out here from New York
he wa restless and discontented, although
tn a measure still at his work. Turn him
loose In the town and he would wander
from place to place, chatting a few minute
bare and there, and thea drifting back to
g desk again to mull over bualn mat
tor. He attended tbe) theater frequently.
tut more to please his family than any
thing eWe, as he liked to do anything to
make them harpy- u he cared little or
nothing for the drama.
The business world sustains a heavy
loss In Mr. Nash. Personally I cannot de
scribe my sorrow over his untimely end.
But. srnrt from commercial circles, there
will be many who will miss him. I learned
accidentally of the number of poor per
sons that-he and his wife were caring for,
or at leat, something of the number. He
did a great deal of good In this way,
never letting his left hand know of th
acta of the right unostentatiously, quietly,
never speaking of it even to his closest
friend. ,
"He was a typical Amertran gentleman
of business, one of the Indomitable work
ers of the west."
BARTOS IEWELL AT TUB HEAD
Vice Pre.ldeat of fUmeltlns; (onM'r
Temporarily In Control.
Guy C. Barton, director and stockholder
In the smelting trust, said:
"Since Mr. Nash was stricken Mr. Bar
ton Sewell, vice president of the com
pany, has been directing Its affairs. Mr.
Sewell will continue to do so until the
annual meeting of, the directors In Sep
tember. I do not care to discuss the prob
abilities as to who will succeed Mr. Nash
as president."
DENTAL EXAMINERS ORGANIZE
Board Provided for by Hew Law I
Now Regalnting- Practice of
Dentistry.
The new Board of Dental Secretaries met
In Linen) n. last week and perfected an
organization, with these officers: Dr. D.
A. Meese, Auburn, president; Dr. C. F.
Ladd, Lincoln, secretary; Dr. J. Herman
Wallace, Omaha, vice president and treas
urer. The other members are Dr. W. T.
Smith of Geneva and Dr. C. 8. Parker of
Norfolk.
The law regulating the practice of dentis
try In this state, passed by the last legis
lature, went into effect July 1, and by a
ruling of the board all dentists now prac
ticing In the state who have not registered
with the board can have te privilege of
doing so until September 1 without taking
an examination. After September 1 all
dentists desiring to practice will be re
quired to take an examination before the
board.
The board will meet In regular session
at the capltol building during the months
of May and November of each year, at
such times as they may designate, and
will meet at such other times and places
In special session as they may deem advis
able. Applicants for permanent license to prac
tice dentistry will be examined only dur
ing regular meetings. After September 1
all applicants must pass an examination
before a license will be Issued to them to
practice. This license must be recorded
with the county clerk In the county In
which the applicant desired to practice
within six months from date of Issue or
It Is forfeited.
A great many dentists In the state do
not understand that they must record
their license with the county clerk In the
county In which they practice, but this Is
necessary In order to be a legal practi
tioner. Any who have not complied with
this provision of tho dental law must do
so at once.
Under the new law the applicant for
license must be a graduate of a reputable
dental college or have served an appren
ticeship of five years In the office of a legal
practitioner, having previously irroduated
from a high school or similar Institution of
learning. No temporary permits will be
granted, except to those who are eligible
to permanent license. When the dental
secretaries are not In regular semi-annual
session any one of the secretaries may
examine an applicant nnd on his recom
mendation the board may furnish him a
temporary license to practice until the next
regular meeting of the dental secretaries,
at which time the temporary license will
expire and the holder thereof must appear
and take an examination for permanent
license.
No dentist who wo a legal practitioner In
this state before July 1 wil'. be affected by
the new law, but there are some'who have
not compiledwith the provisions of the
old law and are therefore not legal prac
titioners and theses must comply with the
new law. r

RUN OVER BY YARD ENGINE
Jamei Murphy Iutiotlj Killed and Gnt
Erngnan Loan Arm.
THIRD MEMBER OF PARTY ESCAPES INJURY
Two Were Sleeping on Bnrllngton
Track and tho Other One Waa
Asleep Alongside tho
Rail.
James Murphy, a laborer employed at
the Union Pacific shops, living at 1719
South Tenth street, waa killed at 12:06
o'clock last night by being struck by switch
engine No. 1&.9 of the Burlington road on
the bridge crossing Hickory street, near
Seoond. Murphy was asleep on th tracks
when the accident occurred. Gus Brug
man, 1722 South Eighth street, who was
with Murphy, was also asleep on the tracks
and had his left arm cut off by the engine
and waa otherwise injured. He may die.
Sidney Slaven, who wa ale a companion
of Murphy, was asleep, but was lying on
the side of the track and escaped Injury.
Slaven lives at 17u8 South Tenth -street.
The wheels of the engine missed -him by
alx Inches. ;
Slaven says the three had been downtown
and were returning home a llrtie before
midnight. The trio reached the bridge
from- Hickory street and went up to sit
down to get some fresh air and all three
lay clown beside the track and fell asleep.
The Burlington switch engine was return
ing from Gibson, and the three young men,
being sound sleepers, Hid not hear th ap
proaching engine. Murphy was lying with
his head directly on the rail and the wheel
completely severed his head from his body,
cutting his left arm entirely off and man
gling his body otherwise.
The switch engine and car were In charge
of Foreman Fred Walters and Engineer
J. J. Kurta and Fireman H. S. Kibett.
The crew state they were coming Into
the yards at a moderate rate of speed and
It being extremely dark at the place where
the men were lying were unable to see
the forms lying on the tracks. The cries
of Brugman, who was Injured, attracted
the attention of the crew and the engine
was stopped. Slaven was sleeping so
soundly that he had to be shaken by the
crew for some minutes before he waa
awakened. He was almost frantic when
he learned that his companion had been
kilted.
The police station was notified aa soon
ns possible and the patrol was sent to
the spot with Police Surgeon Langdon, who
administered relief to young Brugman, and
later removed him to the Clarkson hos
pital. Police Surgeon Langdon attended
him at tbe hospital. He may recover.
James Murphy, the young man who was
killed, was about 24 - years old and ha
been living with his mother. He has been
employed In the Union Pacific shops for
some time. Coroner Bralley was notified
and removed the body of young Murphy to
the morgue.
ART OF TOUCH TYPEWRITING
It Ha Been Brouaht Close to Perfec
tion In Omaha Commercial
Schools.
The touch method of typewriting has
been brought to greater perfection In
Omaha than In any other cUy of the coun
try. Padorewskl, the great pianist, had
some writing done by-
a student of an
Omaha school and was amazed'" at the
speed, rapidity and accuracy of the opera
tor. After the completion of the work he
expressed great surprise and said, "That
Is the first time I ever saw a typewriter
operated as If it were a piano."
Piano method would be a very good
name for the touch System, as the operator
writes without looking at the keys. In
sight writing the operator stops the ma
chine to read a few words, a clause or a
short sentence and then writes what he has
read. This causes frequent starting and
stopping and about one-halt of the time is
consumed In reading. By the touch method
there Is no necessity for stopping the ma
chine to read the copy. This enables, a
touch operator to write about twice as
much in a given time as a sight operator.
Omaha has had a very Important part In
developing touch typewriting and placing It
before the world. An Omaha man repre
sented the advantages of the system to the
National Commercial Teachers' association
which met at Chicago In December, 1898,
and made such an exhibition with one of
his students that the system swept the
country like a storm. In a history of touch
typewriting published by the Remington
Typewriter company the statement was
made that Omaha was the "storm center of
touch typewriting." Two Omaha men have
published texts on this subject and one of
them has sold more than 260,000 copies.
Omaha has furnished more expert type
writer operators for exhibiting writing ma
chines at the great expositions than any
Other city In the country. One operator
trained In an Omaha school was sent to
the Paris exposition, where she astonished
all Europe by the grace, ease, rapidity and
accuracy with which she wrote on an un
lettered keyboard In the English and
French languages. Omaha schools fur
nished the best operators at the Pan
American exposition and the Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
THREE BANKS ARE NOW ONE
Formal and Final Proeednre of Con
solidation I Gone Tli rough
With.
Th meeting of the stockholder and
directors of the three bank to be merged
Into the United States National of Omaha
for the purpose of ratifying In due form
the consolidation agreement were held
Saturday afternoon. The meeting of the
United States National bank corporation
simply went through the forms of Increas
ing the capital stock, enlarging the direc
tory and electing the officer and director,
who wert agreed upon for th personnel
of -the consolidated bank.
Stockholders of the Union National bank
met at 1 o'clock with complete representa
tion for all except thlrty-Bv of th 2,600
hare. The resolution to go Into liquida
tion wa adopted unanimously and G. W
Wattles waa appointed liquidating agent.
President Wattles explained the reason
for the cessation of the bank and gave the
term of the merger agreement so far aa It
affected Union National stockholders.
Under these term the United State Na
tional I to acquire the account of the
Union National, allowing 140,000 for Ha
bualneaa and assuming to pay the entire
liabilities to stockholder and depositor at
par, taking enough of the assets additional
at their fare v. .over the same. The lock-
holders will present their certificates Mon
day for Indorsement by the liquidating
agent and receive an Immediate dividend of
luO pef cent. It is expected that when the
bank Is wound up and all the remaining
asset realised on a final dividend approxi
mating 2t per cent will accrue to the stock
holders.

MOTHER SHOWS LITTLE CARE
Parent of Homeless Children Refuse
to Teat If r In Jovenlle
Court Hearing;.
Judge Redlck disposed of the Juvenile
court business Saturday morning. Ho had
only two cases of delinquency to handle,
one child being concernea in one ana inree
children of a family In the other. A Mrs.
Schrocder, deserted by her husband, has
been somewhat lax in taking care of a
bright little daughter. She pleaded with
the Judge that she Is a hard worker and
does the best she can. This appearing to be
true and the child dosirlng to remain with
her mother, was allowed to do so with the
understanding that she should have more
parental attention in future.
The family affair was that of John Hack,
hla wife and three children. Hack -wa ac
cused of spending his money for drink
and then taking the small earnings of his
14-year-old daughter Mamie and spending
them, too. Hack and his wife separated on
account of his bad habits, each taking two
children. Mrs. Hack sent one child to live
with her relatives in Iowa and the older
child, Mamie, has been working In a South
Omaha boarding house for her board and
small wages. Hack undertook to pay for
the keep of the other daughter, aged 8,
and a boy aged S. He failed to do so.
After hearing th evidence Judge Redlck
committed Mamie, Katie and Loren to the
detention home temporarily, Mamie .being
ent along to care for the two younger
children.
Mrs. Hack wa In court, but took little or
no Interest In the case. She has secured a
position In a family and Is doing well, but
seems to have arrived at the point where
she has lost Interest In her family. No one
of the three children went near her and
she refused to testify. So far aa apoear-
ance went she ha been the least concerned
mother who ha yet appeared in th Ju
venile court

trlet Conrt,
Judge Vlnaonhaler fined Carl Bruner and
Frank Bcnesh tGO and costs for Illegal
fishing.
This was done against the strong pro
test of Attorney Baldrige, who asserted
there Is not one chance in a thousand of
convicting the men In the district court.
He gave notice of appeal.
Defendant offered an alibi, but tho oourt
enld this looked to him so suspicious and
all the circumstances were such that lie
must conclude, a crlmo had been committed.
He would therefore find the defendant
guilty. .... ,
The county court room floor was littered
with n,et and the scat were filled with
friends of the fishermen. Deputy Game
Warden Ptersen was the main witoosa
against Bruner and Frlek. He had found
one closed net full of carp and buffalo and
a larger net set for catching anything thut
might come along. The nets were In a
slough, he said, m.vdo by back water. De
fendants contend the fish In the small net
had been caught In the open river ahd thut
they did not own the large net.
Bruner and Benesh were released on bond
pending an appenl.
