THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT MURDER William Mead tim, Wax on the Subject Advanced, .\ the Co e t wpanion of the Vie- Throw Any Light Substance of Theorle William Meade, tho man who was withR. F. McNamara at tho time he fell from the Milwaukee freight train and was killed, arrived from Perry yesterday morning in charge of an ofticer and was taken before tho coroner’s jury 1 tell what bo knew of the caso. It was learned that he had mnot changed his name from Minor to Meade, as was supposed when it was first heard that McNamara's partner, named Mende, had arrived at Perry. Thero were four tramp cigarmakers in the company on Wednesday, their names being McNamara, Meade, Minor and Pierson. During the afternoon they heard of two jobs that were open at Perry, and playea a game of cards to decide which of them should go. McNamara and Meade beat, and consequently departed that night for their new home. Meade told the jury the circumatances of the case in & way that convinced them that he was telling the truth, He stated that he and McNamara started out in the evening ana boarded a flat cac after dodgifig the yard: volicemen. He curled up in a corner of tho car with his coat thrown over his head, while McNamara paced back and forth, refusing to lie down for fear of catching cold. Meade went to sleep, and when he awoke the train was stanaing stili at a station and McNamara. had disappeared. Ho looked about for him, but could not find him, and after a time went back and lay down. He got oft at Ports- mouth and resumed his journey Thursday night, This storv was arparently true, or at least the jurymen could not tangle him up by cross-examining bim, and the sensation that it was thought would be brougnt out by his testimony failed to materialize. When the jury went to the scone of the ac- cident Thursday afternoon McNamara's hat, shoe, and & pool of blood were found together a quarter of a mile from where his body was picked up. It was hard to account for this state of things by the theory thut McNamara had been killed by the fuil from a freight train, and it wus believed that evidence would bo secured to show that be had been murdered. The fact that Meade had been with him alone at the time . he foll from the train led the jury to think that pos- sibly he could throw some light on the suh. joct, but all their questions were of no avail, and he bad to be discharged after giving his testimony. The mystery is bow bis clothing should be s0 far from his body, and in the absence of anything to show conclusively that he was murdered, it is supposod that he wandered avout from the place where he rirst fell from the tram and at last fell down the trestle to the nlace where ho was finally found. Meade left vesterday for Perry. The funeral exer- cises of McNamara will occur tomorrow. Pay your water rent today. BOSTO ORE., Council Bluffs, Ta.

For that reason, if for no other, the paper recently read by President Adams of Cornell university, before the American Historical society, at the session in Washington, would bo of general interest. The theory pre pounded by President Adams is prac cally to the effect thut Herr Cronan’s discoveries in the West Indies prove almost boyond a doubt that the remains of Columbus still rest at San Domingo, and that the first landing of the Spaniards was at Graham’s Harbor, in Watling’s islond. The latter conclusion may be correct. While both Irving and Humboldt maintained that Guahahani, the San Salvador of Columbus, is to be found at Cat’s island, their conclusions are not perfectly reconcilable with all the facts known to modern history. As long ago as 1798 Munoz insisted that Watling’s island was the land sighted by Rodrigo de Triana, from the Nina. Since that time corroberative evidence has been discovered by Beecher, Pes- chel and Major. Vurnhagn describes Mayaguerrs a8 the island in question, but his conclusions hive never. been accepted as indisputable. The weight of evidence seems to bear so strongly on the side of Munoz that there is no gen- eral disposition to quarrel with the Watling’s island theory. The statement that the remains of Columbus were not disinterred at His- pantola and taken to Havana to reposo in the cathedral in the latter city, is not entirely a new one, but before it is widely accepted there must be stronger testimony than a mere legend and tho discovery of an ancient tomb. It is well known that the discoverer died May 20, 1506, and was buried at Valladolid, whence his body was taken to Las Cuevas to lie with that of his son Diego. Later on the bones of both father and son were taken by the Spaniards to the present island of San Domingo. Again, unless history is at fault, on the cession of San Domingo to the French, the bones were again removed, and were deposited with much state and ceremony in the grand cathedral of Hayana. President. Adams malntains, and those who believe as he does will probably accept his conclusions, that the entire ceremony was a fraud upon the Cuban people and that the remains of the great explorer still rest at San Domingo. If this supposition be correct, it seems remarkably strange that the Spanish authorities could have heen duped so easily. The tomb of Coiumbus haa long been an object of veneration to the Spaniards and was one of the most notable objects of interest at San Domingo during the last century, It is almost absurd to imagine that not one of the Spaunish offi- cials knew the exact whereabouts of a tomb which had for nearly 250 years been so famous. It is far easier to believe that the Dominicans, regretful of departing honors,were more than credulous of any legend which would again flatter local pride and the temptation to coin such astory may have been irresistible to the local im- provisatores wno have coined 80 many curious romances, fanciful legends of other days. Not long ago The Adver- tiser noted the manner in which a similiar impulse had induced many cities to claim for themselves the honor of having been the birthplace of Columbus, Surely it is not unreasonable then to re- gard the Dominican legend with much more suspicion than President Adams has exercised toward it. e LU Horse Sense, It is well known that horses can hear decp sounds which we cannot. For days revious to the earthquake in tho tiviera, the horses there showed every symptom of abject fear, which continued without any change of character till the fury of the convulsion broke forth, But not till a few seconds before the earth began to quake did human beings hear any sounds, while it is extremely probable that the horses heard the sub- terranean noises for two or three days previously. Prelim! Dis- ——— A Syndicater Called Down. A bright, energetic young newspaper man in a city not a thousand miles from Chicago, says the Mail, recently was en- gaged in preparing articles for publica- tion by a syndicate of newspapers. It oceurred to this young man that it would make interesting reading to pre- seut the views of a number of America’s leading journalists on **What the News- paper Will Be Fifty years Hence.” The young man decided to let u few bright minds air their views and adveriise , themselves to the extent of 200 words ! each. Among the men whom he con- cluded to permit to contribute to the great guess-work symposium wos Murat Halstead. A note was addressed to Mr. Halstead and the. following answer was promptly returned him: “Your letter askiag for 200 words on ‘What the Newspaper Will Be Fifty Years Hence' is at hand. In replying T may as well confess that I do not know exactly what the newspayer will be a half-century from now, but unless things change very materially Ido not be- lieve that the self-respecting paper of that time will have anything to do with a newspaper man who will send a writ- ten request for such matter as you de- sire without inclosing a check for the same. Oakland's Plastic Water. An Oakland man was in the act of bathing in the plastic substance which the water company, thoughtfully pro- vides. says the Sag Francisco Examiner, when quite unexpectedly he experienced the severest misfortune of his life and became his own remains. A physician was called in, and, shrewdly observing that the decedent’s heart had ceased to execute its customary prank, declared that death was citised by that organs failure, *‘I had to say something of the sort,” he remarked to a friend, as they left the late residénce of the deceused by way of the late front door: *I amin the service of the water company.” **Was the man really drowned?” in- quived the friend. That - conscientious physician. was pained. He'whus wounded in his finest sensibilitiés and feankly indignant. “Sir,” he said, with austere scerbity “‘our water does not drown. The man wus smothered.”’ o He Was Used to It. Detroit Free Press: ‘‘Pshaw,” he said, ‘‘there’s a great lot of foolish talk about. that crank blowing up Russell Sage because he didn’t give him a million dollars.” **You wouldn’t like that sort of thing pretty much, would you?” inquired the man next to him. . “*Like it? Of course not,” he re- plied, “*but I wouldn’t be raising such a row aboutit. My wife blows me up every time I refuso to give her a dollar. I'm used to it.” Queer Cats, Tt is said that in China there is a cat that has drooping ears. The Mombas cat of the west const of Africa is covered with suiff, bristly hair. A Paraguay cat is only one-quarter as big as the or- dinary cat of this part of the world. It has along body and short shiny hair. In South America there isa race of cats which do not know how to miauow. B EAST AND WEST. How the Agitators Want the Blg Sixth Ward Divided, There was & well attended meeting of the Sixth Ward Republican club in a halt at Twenty-Sixth and Lake streets last evening. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of dividing the ward. Aftor o short discussion the assombly ro- sulved itself into a citizens' meeting and lis- tened to the re!)orv. of the committee ap- imnted to decide upon ward boundaries. The report recommended that the division be made commencing at Twentieth and Spencer streets and run west to Thirty-first street; south on Thirty-first to Maple and west to the city limits, dividing the ward by a line running nearly east and west. Some of thoso present protested against the adoption of the report and wanted the dividing line to run north and south on Thirty-third street. After considerablo talk the report of the committee was adopted and it was agreed to appoint committees to con- fer with other improvement clubs in the ward and hold a general meeting on Eeb- ruary 12, at which time the question will be fully discussed. e HE WAS BOISTEROUS.
