WRECK ON THE BURLINGTON
BtfS(r. Mall and Passenger Cars
Piled I'P, bat Ro Oae
Seriously JnJured.
ST. MICHAEL. .Neb.. April S.-West-bound
train No. 41 of the Burlington, with
two engines, was wrecked three miles wept
of St. Michael at 7: this morning while
going at the rate of about forty-five mllei
an hour and making - up lost time. The
train was made up of three express end
mall oars and eleven coaches. It was well
filled with passengers. Two baggage and
express cars were completely overturned
and one da. coach and six chair cars de
railed and badly wrecked, but only four
people were slightly Injured:
v H. D. Holway, bruised -In aide; refused
aid, being of Christian Science faith.
C. M. Osborne, from central Missouri,
ankle sprained In getting out of car.
Express Messenger James Tipton of Lin
coln, bruised In ch.at and shoulder from
being thrown against side of car.
Another passenger received sprained
ankle and several received slight cuts from
crashing glass.
The escape of such tralnload of passen
gers with so little Injury Is regarded by
the train crew as perhaps- beyond all pre
vious records. Some of the coaches are all
rlghsen,Tra$: war thrown- thirty feet
from the track. ,' '
The gas tank in one of the cbalr cars
caught fire, but 'was thrown out of the
coach before it -exploded. - The explosion
set fire to the car, but the fire was quickly
extinguished by use of buckets and water
in adjacent ditches.
The wreck was caused by spreading rails,
but the engine remained on the track and
ran ahead. The engineer, on looking back
and seeing the piled up coaches, was con
fident there were scores of Injured, and
without taking time to Inquire rushed to
Ravenna for a relief train. Four physl
lans from Aurora and Ave from Grand
Island were sent to the scene and attended
the few slightly Injured. The conductor
of the train was J. B. Austin, the engineer
C. E. Finch. Traffic will be delayed at
least twelve hours. A wrecking crew has

Surprise at North Plaft.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., April 5. (Spe
cial.) The city election of North Platte,
which to all appearances was beiry carried
on quietly, came to some very d-jctded and
somewhat unanticipated results. In every
Instance where petition candidates ran,
they were elected almost by an over
whelming majority over the republican
nominees; an occurrence the like of which
has never been to the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the con
trary. In the affairs of the thrifty metrop
olis of the western half of Nebraska. For
mayor there were two candidates, the re
publican, C. . M. Newton, who was badly
beaten because of the machine which sup
posted him, and Dr. N. C. McCabe, who
was elected by a majority of 177 votes.
The vote on councilman in the second
ward resulted la a victory for Frank
Tracy, petition candidate, as against
Claude Welngand, republican nominee, the
vote giving Tracy a majority of SI votes.
On the other officers elected there were no
opposing candidates on the ticket and the
following were elected practically unani
mously: Members of school board, F. K.

other bonds recently. The history of these

ttie manner In which they curried, by a vote
of 2Vi to 1, is also believed to be strongly
In their favor.

resident of this vicinity. Blie claimed they
were msrried in Germany and that he left
her In Denver, Colo., many years ago. An
examination of the court records effectually
punctured the claim, as they showed that
Kuchs hud obtained a divorce from his first
wife for a very sufficient cause something
like twenty years before he married the
one who survived him.

MIAIIA CIIARTER IS VALID
Supreme Conrt Decides that Act is in
Accordance with Constitution.
COUNTY TREASURER MAY SERVE CITY
Law Providing- for the Exteaslen of
.Terns ef County Commis
sioners Is field to
Be lavalld.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 6. (Bpecial.) Th su
preme court today handed down a decision
In the case wherein John T. Cathers sought
to enjoin the city treasurer of Omaha from
turning over his office to the county treas
urer as provided in the new city charter,
and the decision holds the charter Is valid
and constitutional. Commissioner Ames not
only holds the charter good, but takes
occasion to hold with the district court
of Douglas county that Cathers did not
have sufficient Interest to maintain the suit
and therefore only the main points of the
charter are held good, while the minor
points will be passed upon when a party
really Interested brings them to the atten
tion of the court.
In bis opinion Commissioner Ames said:
The sole object of this action is to assail
the constitutionality of the new charter. It
Is first contended that the title Is not
broad enough to cover all the subjects of
legislation contained In the act, but this
objection surely cannot be upheld. Tho
title is more, rather than less, compre
hensive than that which was upheld In
State against Palmer, 10 Neb.. 203, and
which has served as a model for titles of
acts providing for the Incorporation and
government of municipalities In this state
for more than twenty-five years. It Is
snalogous to a title to "provide a system
of revenue" or to "provide a criminal
code."
The Plaintiff contended that the designa
tion of the county treasurer as city treas
urer is practically an appointment to the
latter office by the legislature. This argu
ment appears to us to be far fetched. It
Is rather a designation of the territorial
qualifications of electors who shall be en
titled to choose a city treasurer of Omaha.
Similar statutes have been In force In this
state from the beginning, as for example
the school law, which provides that city
and village treasurers shall be ex-offlclo
treasurers of school districts composed in
whole or in part of the same conteminous
territory as the city or village in which
they are situated.
If this objection Is valid it applies with
at least equal force to the provisions of
this and the last preceding charter of the
city of Omaha providing for the appoint
ment by the governor of a board of fire
and police commissioners of that city, which
perhaps might be contended by counsel to
be also a subject not embraced in the title
of the act
It is further contended that the act at
tempts to confer new powers and duties
upon a county officer In violation of the
principles announced In Wheeler against
the Slate ex rel. 102 N. W. R., 773, and
Haverly against the State ex rel., 63 Neb.,
S3. The objection applies with at least
equal force to the clause Just mentioned,
with reference to the appointment of a
board of fire and police commissioners. But
in reality the principles of the decisions
cited are not Involved In this controversy.
The court holds the contention that the
consolidation of the two treasuries leaves
the school board without a treasury be
cause the city treasurer Is the ex-offlcto
school treasurer Is not well taken, but
that the office is not vacated, but merely
a change has been made In the manner of
filling it
In his syllabus Commissioner Ames says:
1. It la competent to embrace In one act
every detail of legislation connected with
or having direct reference to the subject
expressed In the title.
In an act Incorporated a certain class of
cities and prescribing and regulating their
duties, powers and government it is com
petent to enact that the treasurer of the
county In which the only city of that class
Is situated shall be ex -officio treasurer of
the city. ..- ,n -
The supreme court no decided that a
witness who falls to attend before a notary
public In obedience to a, subpoena may be
punished as for a contempt, but the punish
ment cannot exceed a fine of $50 and the
notary Is not authorised by a statute to
commit the witness to a county Jail.
Last ef Biennial Election Law.
The last of the biennial election laws,
passed by the legislature of IMS, an act de
fining the terms of office of county com
missioners has been declared invalid by
the supreme court. The Judgment of the
district court of Douglas county Is affirmed
In the case of William O. Ure and Emmet
G. Solomon against the county clerk and
county treasurer of Douglas county.
In reversing the Judgment of the district
court of Douglas county with directions
to dismiss plaintiff's petition in the case of
the United States Fidelity and Guaranty
company against Henry Rleck the court
holds that a surety on a waste bond given
to supersede an order of confirmation of
sale In a foreclosure proceedings Is not
liable to the mortgagee nor to the pur
chaser at these sales, for the taxes as
sessed against the property pending the
final confirmation of the sale in the su
preme court.
Injunction Improper .Method.
The supreme court has refused now to try
title to an office by injunction proceedings.
The case came up from Phelps county,
where they are having all manner of
trouble over the office of treasurer and
moderator of school district No. 77. Frank
Hornbeck and Joe Doe were elected school
JOE'S LUCK
Drew m Prise la Matrimonial Lottery.
"Before we were married my husband
was a coffee drinker and subject to severe
attacks of sick headache, which Interfered
with his duties as superintendent of a large
factory," writes a young Massachusettea
matron.
" I tytd made up my mind that Coffee
was at least partly to blame, and that I
could cure him after marriage by the use
of Postum Food Coffee.
"When I told my younger sister about it,
she laughed and said: "Just wait and see.
After you are married you'll find out that
Joe will have his coffee anyway."
"I proceeded gradually, first eliminating
by degrees the pastry and sweets from the
dally menu, and as his meals were always
served-daintily and appetising he began to
have faith in his wife's ability as a cook.
"Meantime bis headaches became less
frequent, but did not cease altogether.
When the time was ripe and I proposed
to use Postum Food Coffee he consented
upon the promise that he should have
the old kind of coffee at his Sundav
breakfast. He grew fond of the new food
drink, however, and noted that after
drinking the old coffee on Sundays he suf
fered from unsteady nerves and a dull
heavy feeling that he never had on the
days when he drank Postum. The result
was that at last he said: 'I would rather
have the Postum Food Coffee Sunday
morning, too, if you don't mind, my dear.
The old kind makes me feel like a fool
all day.' You may Imagine how ready I
was to fall In with this suggestion. The
old kind of coffee has been banished from
our table for more than two years now;
Joe's headaches are only a memory and he
always has steady nerves and a clear
brain to meet the exacting demands of
his business. On hot summer days he rel
ishes a glass of clear, cold Postum with a
squeese of lemon, at noon, finding It most
refreshing.
"In the winter I make up a pot of Pos
tum Coffee In the evening, boiling It fifteen
minutes, and let it set, on the back of
the range till morning, when it la heated
and ready to serve In a few minutes."

trustees at a meeting of electors and the
vote was viva voce. They selected a treas
urer and then elected Jennlo Cowgill
teacher. Two months later a half dosen
clttxens met and elected one Hottenstetn
moderator and one Fugua treasurer. The
latter then brought an injunction suit to
stop Jennie Cowgill from acting as teacher
and the other two directors from acting
in that capacity, alleging they had not been
elected by ballot as provided by law. The
Injunction was dissolved by the district
court and the supreme court affirmed that
decision and held It would not try title to
office in an Injunction proceeding. It held
the contract made with the teacher was
legal because the two defendants were de
facto officers, If not the legally elected di
rectors. City can Relevy Taxes.
The dismissal of the Injunction suit of
the 8. D. Mercer company to prevent the
Omaha city council from relevylng a spe
cial assessment upon certain property of
the plaintiff In the sewer district is af
firmed. The court holds that the Omana
charter of 1897 contains sufficient authority
for the relevy of a special assessment
which was attempted rfo be levied under a
former act, but failed because of irregu
larity In procedure.
Ruling On Assessment.
The supreme court has held it makes no
difference what adjoining property has
been valued at for assessment purposes
when a party appealing from the decision
of the County Board of Equalisation proves
his property has been assessed at a figure
In excess of Its true value.
This Is held in the case wherein Jennie
E. Brown of Lincoln appealed from the
assessment of her property by the county
assessor. The assessor valued the property
at 31,850; this valuation was reduced by
the County board to $25,000 while the dis
trict court valued the property at J30.000,
the sum the plaintiff claimed It was
worth, and which she proved was the cor
rect value of the property.
The supreme court today granted a writ
Of mandamus to the city of Red Cloud to
compel the auditor to register a series of
lectrlc light bonds to the amount of (5,000.
The county of Lancaster has again won
In the supreme court Its suit for money
which was paid to the state after the fail
ure of the Capital National bank. This
money had been collected by the county
and deposited In this bank. Some of the
money belonged to the state and the county
treasurer paid to the state that amount
which It lost In the bank. The county held
the treasurer had no right to pay out this
money and suit was brought. To this suit
the state filed a demurrer. The court holds
the loss must fall upon the state and that
the county has the right to recover the
amount paid In.
Harrowing Tale ta Conrt.
In the divorce court of Judge Frost Mrs.
Valetta A. Grlbbln told a story today which
rivals the most soul stirring efforts of th
yellow-back novelists. She told the tale
under oath and solemnly averred that It
was true In every detail. She was formerly
the wife of J. W. H'ardcastle, a United
States customs officer In New York. They
were married at Orange, N. J., and after
ward .went to Capetown, South Africa. In
the latter place her husband died. While
she was suffering from the delirium of
fever she was married to Grlbbln. She
charges him with being a thief and a
scoundrel and a companion of murderers.
After Indescribable sufferings, her husband
being sentenced to prison, she made her
way to America and finally came to Lin
coln. She wishes a divorce and th cus
tody of her son.
Minor Matters at Capital.
Fire this afternoon caught In the Curtis
ft Bartlett factory at Sixth and K streets.
Prompt work by the fire departmsnt
stopped th flames and kept the loss be
tween (3,000 and 17,000. How the Are orig

Chief of Police Cooper this afternoon
received a telegram from Ravenna stating
that his brother-in-law, Abe Hill, was dead.
Hill was a pioneer Nebraska settler and

District Court at Aubara.
AUBURN, Neb., April (. Sioc!a!. The

this city for a number of years, caused
a great deal of excitement in the city at
a late hour last evening by running amuck
through the streets, assaulting everyone
he met and badly wounding several be
fore he was captured. It Is supposed he
was under the Influence of liquor, although
after his capture he seemed to fully re
alize all that was happening.
The affair started about 8 o'clock on the
west side of the square, when two young
fellows were about to settle a controversy
by a resort to blows, and John Johnson,
jr., a young man from Peoria, 111., who Is
visiting his parents here, attempted to step
between them and stop the trouble. At this
juncture Parker, who was looking on and
evidently wanted to see a scrap, stepped
forward and struck Johnson a stunning
blow In the face, and before anyone could
Interfere was on top of the prostrate man
kicking and stamping him. Johnson Is a
man of light build, while his opponent Is
over six feet tall, weighs nearly 200 pounds
and Is of a brawny build. Another by
stander, Len Manning, In an endeavor to
cause Parker to desist from his attacks
upon the unconscious man, was himself
made a victim of an assault, Parker
clinching him and both rolling into the
street, while the Infuriated man clasped
Manning about the throat and sunk his
teeth Into his cheek, cutting the flesh
badly, and also biting the latter's thumb
to the bone. Assistance came, but Parker
managed to elude the authorities and ran
around the south side of the square, meet
ing Tommy James, the 15-year-old son
of T. R. James, who was passing along
the walk. He struck the boy a brutal
blow In the face, knocking him Into the
street, where he lay unconscious until as
sisted to the doctor's ofilce, where he was
found to be suffering only from a badly
discolored eye and cuts and bruises about
the face. Roy Leerh, a grown man, hap
pened to see this assault and running up
found himself In the midst of a scrap also.
A number of blows were exchanged, but
neither parly received much Injury, al
though Leech was unable to detain the
scrapper. About this time Marshal Gra
ham appeared and took charge of Parker,
who was apparently going without resist
ance to the lockup, when he bolted and
ran down the street towards the depot.

Doctors pronounced as in
curable Miss Minnie Gilroy, of
Morrison, Colo., who suffered
agonies from consumption,
hemorrhages, and severe cough
ing spells. She wasted away
to a shadow and had given up
all hope when she decided to
try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
Miss Gilroy began to improve
at once and gained 15 pounds
during the first two months.
She is today happy, well and
strong, and writes the following
letter of thankfulness:
"I suffered for a long time with consump
tion and had terrible attacks of coughing
and hemorrhages. I lost flesh and was all
run down. My breathing became difficult
and painful, and the doctors pronounced
me Incurable.
"I decided at last to try Duffy's Purs
Malt Whiskey and procured a bottle. I
began to Improve at once and gained fif
teen pounds the first two months. My
rough was relieved, the hemorrhages
ceased and I now feel splendid In every
way. I ran sleep soundly and have no
more restless nights.
"I cannot say to much In praise of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, as It has per
manently cured me after doctors" medicine
failed to do any good." MINNIE GILROY,

was down about the station searching In
the mud and rain for the fugitive, who was
finally discovered In a cornfield covered
with mud. and brought back up town,
where he was locked up and a guard sta
tioned over the Jail during the night.
Numerous threats of summary punish
ment were heard, but evidently when the
crowd found that none of the parties as
saulted had been Injured dangerously they
decided to allow the law to take Its course.
The county attorney Is preparing to glvs
the accused a preliminary hearing tomor
row, and it Is thought the nature of th
Injuries Inflicted on Manning will causs
him to receive a term In the penitentiary.
