BURNS GETS FOOT CAUCHT IN GUARD RAIL Hafmaa Falls frosa Enslne Wnlle It is nark In fats Roaaahoaee ass Engine Passes Over His Bod 7. Sunday witnessed two fatal accidents In the railroad yards In Council Bluffs. A. Hafman, a colored hostler, was crushed to death beneath a locomotive In the vsrds of the Wabash railroad, and William Burns met death under the wheels of a switch en gine In the Rock Island yards. Burns had gone ahead of the en gine to open a switch, when his foot was caught In the guard rail and he was un able to extricate It before the engine bore down upon him. His left limb was crushed to a pulp and his right arm cut off at the shoulder. He lived twenty minutes and was conscious for part of the time, while fellow employes were releasing the caught foot from the guard rait. Nine spikes had to be drawn before the Imprisoned foot could be released and the dying man con veyed to a nearby switch shanty to await the arrival of the ambulance. Death, how ever, released the unfortunate man from his sufferings before the ambulance reached the scene. The accident occurred at 7:30 o'clock yes terday morning. Just south of the coal chutes on Eighth avenue and Twelfth street and within sight of the home of Burns, who lived at 1120 Eighth avenue. Under directions from Coroner Treynor the body was taken to Cutler's undertaking rooms. William Burns was 82 years of age and came to Council Bluffs about four years ago from Austin, Minn., where his parents reside. On April 3 he was married to Mrs. Katherine Krablel, who, within less than three weeks Is again loft a widow. During the fall of last year Burns served on the police force for about three weeks as a special officer. Besides his parents and widow he Is survived by four sisters and one brother. Of Hafman, the colored engine hostler, who was killed In the Wabash railroad yards, little Is known. He Is said to have been but a short time In Council Bluffs. The accident occurred near the round house. Hafman was on the tender of a locomotive which was backing Into . the roundhouse, when he fell off, and the wheels passed over the middle of his body, killing him Instantly. Hafman's death oc curred at 2:30 In the morning. The body was taken to Cutler's undertaking rooms by order of Coroner Treynor. Hafman's home la said to have been at Hannibal, Mo. Coroner Treynor stated last evening that he did not think It was likely an Inquest would be held In either case. "So-Easy" Monntlnas gave Money.

Captain Jack O'Nell of the police force had an automobile ride yesterday morning and acted as hla own chauffeur, despite the fact that the motive power was sup plied by a wagon and team. Saturday night a party of Omaha sports abandoned the auto on Second avenue and Twenty eighth street. The avenue haa ben recently graded up and the auto slipped In the mud Into the ditch at the side. Footprints showed that the members of ths party, which fncluded two women, had worked hard to get the machine out of the mire, but falling to do so, had abandoned It and made their way back to Omaha either by foot or In a hack. Word was received at police headquarters early yesterday morning that an auto mobile, apparently without an owner, was In the mud on Second avenue and Twenty eighth street. Captain O'Nell was detailed to Investigate. After covering himself with much mud and little glory. Captain O'Nell, with some assistance, succeeded In getting the machine onto terra flrma and engaged a teamster to haul It to town, ths officer occupying the auto and steering it through the mud. The auto waa hauled to the barn on Bryant street opposite the city hall, when the owner put In an appearance. The Joke was on Captain O'Nell when he learned that the owner had watched his herculean efforts In getting the machine out of the mud and steering It back to the city be hind the wagon. The owner was obliged, however, to pay for the wagon and team before he was permitted to regain his machine. ICE CREAM SEASON NOW OPKN. SEND IN TOUR ORDERS; WE ARE READY TO FILL THEM. I.

It Is possible that W. Klersted, the expert employed by the city, will be able to report the schedule of water rates, upon which he haa been working for the last week, at the meeting of the city council tonight. Mr. Klersted had the work nearly completed Saturday night and at that time thought It possible the report might be ready by this evening. The schedule, If accepted, la to be Incorporated In the proposed new franchise for the water works company. It la not considered likely that the city council will take any action this evening on the bond of Charles M. Nicholson, ap pointed chief of the fire department by the newly created Fire and Police commission, seeing that Chief Jones has brought ault to enjoin Nicholson from Interfering with him as head of fie department, and the hearing of the ar ltlon for a temporary restraining order will not be heard by Judge Wheeler until next Saturday. - Business Is extraordinarily good with the Bouriclus Piano house of Council Bluffs, la; not a day. but what they get mora new pianos In or send some out; don't you know why this 1st Easy to understand.

COSTS TO KEEP WORD TRUST Iowa Corpora titni Art In a Hurry tt Strike Word from Titii. ' FOUR BILLS UNSIGNED BY GOVERNOR Board f Coatrnl Is Bavins; ' Some Dlfflralty Beenrlas; Ssperla tendent for Boys Iadas trial Shool. (From a Stall Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 21. (Special.) A larxe number of Iowa corporations with the word "trust" In their title, have just learned . that If they retain that word "trust" they must submit to an examina tion by the state auditor's office. As a result there is some haste on the part of these corporations to amend their arti cles of Incorporation' by cutting; out the word and ths fees that would accom pany the examination. Iowa has practi cally no laws governing corporations doing a trust business. In the banking laws there Is a provision that any corporation doing a trust business or receiving deposits or having the word "trust" In the name and title of the corporation thus holding out to the public through the name that a trust business Is done, must be examined by the state auditor's office. Just as the state and savings banks are examined. The presence of this provision was not known to the auditor's office till some months ago. Since then there has been an effort to line up the trust companies and make the examinations. Many of these have re sisted the examination, being In Ignorance of the law. The opinion of Attorney Gen eral Mullen was secured Just before his term of office expired and he declared that there was no question aa to the Intent of the la-v. It haa now been put up to the companies to eliminate the trust word and business or else submit to ths exami nation and many of them are eliminating the word "trust" and the trust business. Poar Laws l'Bats;aa. There are four laws in the hands of Governor Cummins today that are unsigned. These are the smoke nuisance bill, the bill limiting the dividends of Insurance com panies, ths bill providing for the sale of state lands made by the accretions of the Des Moines river and Changing Its course, snd the bill providing that district clerk Judges may exercise some discretion In sentencing persons to the inebriate asylum at Knoxville. Governor Cummins met soma of the busi ness men of Des Moines at lunch and gave them to understand that while he thought the smoke nuisance .bill, whloh applies to Des Moines only, was a very bad bill, he considered the smoke nuisance much worse and would likely sign It. 'Hi made .the suggestion to them that If they would go down to the city hall and get the council to pass a good smoke nuisance ordinance that would abate the trouble he would veto ths law. . The Insurance bill has been given a hear ing by ths governor and Is still unde cided. The Inebriate law la one that the Board ARKHUR3T Arrow tlsma Hug tsaira Ha Collar s siavs as) 1 res ss stars asn, suasst ass, assess tsattis of Control haa been recommending to the legislature for some time. Since the law providing for sentencing Inebriates to a place where . their Inebrlacy would be treated aa a physical ailment, such aa In sanity, there Tiaa grown up the custom with the district court Judges and officials of sentencing vagrants and tramps under the Inebriate law. Where Inebrlacy. is duo- to a physical ailment that causes an excessive thirst for liquor It la claimed it can be cured, but where it Is due to a shiftless life It Is claimed that It cannot be cured. But the officials send up vag rants to "get rid of them" and the asylum Is In danger of being filled with these to the exclusion - of persons who might be redeemed to society. The legislature that but recently adjourned, passed a taw pro viding that the district court Judges can exercise their discretion and send only those showing signs of a probable cure. Furthermore, If the court send an unprom ising case the Board of Control can promptly release the same on the recom mendation of the superintendent. This law also remains In the hands of the governor unsigned. Probably all of these laws will be definitely decided upon next week. No More Deep. Wells. For the time being, at least, the state of Iowa seems to have changed its policy as to deep wells. In the appropriations for the Board of Control by the last legisla ture there la an appropriation of $31,000 for the water supply at ths Qlenwood school for" the feeble minded. The state spent thousands of dollars endeavoring to get a water supply for the Olenwood institution by seeking deep wells Two or three were failures. The tM.000 now appropriated, haa the provision that It Is to be spent in get ting water from the gravel beds of the Missouri valley and providing further that before It Is drawn the Board of Control must file with the auditor of state a certi ficate, that It is Impossible to get a suffici ent supply from the deep well and further that the deep well shall not be sunk deeper than !. feet. Iowa has had trouble get ting water at other Institutions. When the sites '' for. many of the institutions were selected scenery and political pulls had more to do with the selection than the water supply, hence the trouble. , Haatlav Successor to Colonel Drake. The State Board of Control is having some difficulty In finding a successor to Col onel Drake aa superintendent of the Indus trial School for Boys at Eldora. There are many politicians seeking the place because it pays tl.HO yax and all expenses ex cept clothing, but the board Is not In poll tics and is not susceptible to political In fluence. Vague stories are In circulation as to the reasons for Colonel Drake's leav ing, but alt are more or less Incorrect. When Colonel Drake was at Bonevllle, Mo.. he built the Institution up from one build ing to eleven, the brick for all of which was manufactured on the ground and the work of erecting waa all done by the boys In the Institution. The institution was com plete In every detail with underground tun nels connecting every building. While there Colonel Drake's wife died and while he was. In one of the tunnels with a workman the tunnel caved in killing the workman and all but killing Colonel Drake. Being a sensitive man he was unable to keep up under the multiplied troubles and suffered a nervous prostration from which he never fuljy recovered. He went from Bonevllle to Eldora at less salary In the hope that a change of scene would benefit his health, but without the realisations of-his ir.opes. All -sorts of political influences la being brought to bear on the hoard to make political selections for the new superintend ent. There are a dosen or more applicants, and a good position awaits a good man when be is found. The board is hunting for a man of large heart and a taste for teashliig boya He must have a mechanical turn for the boys are taught trades. The first requirement that the hoard makes Is that ths man muat be of unquestioned moral character. The board la hunting furthermore for a young man in the hope that he will make the Eldora Institution his life work.

Already the reports of exorbitant charges have caused many who Intended to visit the fair to cancel their arrangements There will undoubtedly be many wealthy people owning their own yachts, who will take parties down to the exposition and entertain them upon their vessels. Intending visitors to Jamestown would do well to wait until June, at least, before making their contumplated trip as It will certainly be the end of May be fore the show will be In full running order. The Navy department Is already well represented and the fleet gathered In Hampton Roads Is a glorious sight and one which gives the American cltlsen an ex cellent idea of what has been done toward building up the sea power of this republic. In 1SV3 there was a somewhat similar display of men-of-war previous to the opening of the World's fair In Chicago. Then later there was a gallant exhibition of American war vessels in the harbor of New York. The dlsplsy of 1907 will prob ably be the feature of the Jamestown cele bration and If only the food purveyors of the Virginia shores will be satisfied with decent profits on their Investments there will undoubtedly be many thousands of visitors from the north and west, but they must change their methods quickly or the anticipated financial harvest will certainly be blighted. Adee and Hie Odd Name. The departure of Mr. Adee recalls a funny telephone story In connection with his name. Some months ago a New Yorker called up the State department on the tele phone and upon being properly connected, he said: "I would like to know the name of the second assistant secretary of state." The voice at the other end replied: "A A. A-dee." What's thatT" Inquired the stranger. "A. A. A-dee," was the answer. "How do you spell It?" 'A. A. A-d ," was as far as the clerk could get, when the inquirer exclaimed: T don't want to hear a primer class re Women Avoid Operations When a woman Buffering from female trouble is told that an oper ation is necessary, It, of course, friffhtena her. The very thought of the hoapltal, the operating- table and ths knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troub le may reach a stage where an ope ration la the only resource, but a great many women have been cured y Lydia E. Piakhama Vegetable Compound after an operation ha been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to maks com from women whs by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native root and herb, have escaped serious operations, aa evidenced by Mia Rose Moore' ease, of J07 W.SethHt.. M.Y. She wntes: Dvar Mr. Pinkham:-"Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and 1 wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two year so that I waa unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. I doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia B. Piakham a Vegetable Compound; it cured me of ths terrible trouble aad I am now in better health than I have been for many years." Thl and other such ease should encourage every woman to try Ly dra E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation. Mr. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakoes are invited to promptly eommo a teats with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mas, from the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the qulokest and surest way of reoovery advised. mar one ribbon: peat alphabet.

"Oh, h -." yelled the gentleman from Gotham, and he hung up the ptione. Test of Submarine Torpedo Boats. The Navy department Is waiting with a great deal of interest the outcome of the tests of submarine torpedo boats which are to be made early in May in the waters of Long Island sound. The appropriation for the next fiscal year for vessels of this character amounts to JS, 000, 000, this sum Is sufficient to pay for the construction of six vessels of tho highest type. The tests to be made ars between boats as to what are known as the Holland and Lake type and whichever one proves to be tho most effective under the water and on the surface will be adopted as the type for the navy In ths future. L'p to the . present time the half dozen or so submarine boats purchased by tho navy have been made on the modified lines of the original Holland boat. But the Lake people claim they have a super lor vessel and the test will demonstrate whether or not their claim Is worthy of consideration. The fight Is between ths octopus of the electric boat company's design and the Lake built by the com pany bearing that name. Each company claims superior navigating abilities for its own production and these claims are to be settled by a board over which Com mander Marlx will preside. When submarine torpedo boats were first added to the navy they were not popular among officers and men, but sines President Roosevelt and Commander "Dick" Walnrlght, of Gloucester fame, tested subsurface navigation personally no difficulty has been experienced In find ing officers and crews to man them. Ths submarine torpedo boat has come to stay and it will undoubtedly prove an effec tive means of coast defense should this country get Into another foreign war.
