Engineer P. McDermott 1 Just finished making up the train, which was to be sent out in a short time, and he took it to the yardmaster's office in the south part of the city. On the way two tramps tried to get on board at a point about 300 yards south of the Milwaukee road. One of them, whose name Is Fred Kyle, felt the car he was on give a sudden jolt just after they had both boarded it, and looking down he saw his companion beneath the wheels. Eleven cars passed over the unfortunate man's waist before the traln was finally stopped. He was dead when picked up. No one knows the dead man's name, as there are no papers in his Mocket by wiic he can be identified. On his left arm were tattooed the initials, “I. R.” and a cross, while on the right was an India Ink repre- sentation of a human leg. He was about 22 years of age, medium height, and had blue eyes and a smooth face. His left arm had been broken at the wrist recently, and he wore it in a plaster of parls cast. Kyle, his companion, was unable to say very much bout him, excepting that he thought he ived In St. Louis. Coroner Jennings sum- moned a jury, consisting of C. S. Hubbard, G. H. Baker and C.

For some time past there has been consid- erable rivalry between Colonel F. C. Reed of the Grand Plaza and the Manhattan Beach Improvement company in regard to a certain tract of land on Lake Manawa belonging to the Casady estate, and adjoining the prop- erty owned by the Manhattan Beach com- pany to the east, but Colonel Reed succeeded in stealing a march on the Manhattan people and yesterday signed papers closing the deal by which he becomes the possessor of the property in question, some eighty acres in extent. This gives him an immense ex- panse of water front on the other side of Lake Manawa, and a splendid natural beach about 700 feet in length. Colonel Reed is already making arrange- ments for improving the property for next season and erecting a pavilion similar to the one at Grand Plaza and scveral other attractive features. When the season opens next spring the colonel expects to have a line of electric launches to transport pas- sengers between Grand Plaza and his new resort on the other side of the lake. The consideration paid for the property is said to have been $5,900. Battle Flag Day At Des Moines August 10. The rate from points in lowa are one fare for the round trip.

Vice President Greentree of the Chamber of Commerce received a communication from Receiver E. Ellery Anderson in response to the inquiry concerning the resumption of work in the shops at this place. Anders said that it would be impossible unde present condition of affairs for the receivers to re-employ the full force of men at work at the beginning of the strike.

BUFFALO, Wyo., Aug. 7.—(Special to The Bee.)—The republican delegates from Johnson county have just returued from Casper well satisfied with the ticket. It is conceded by demoerats here that the ticket is a strong one. The four northern counties, Johnson, Sheridan, Weston and Crook, were united in the convention. Mondell, who was slated for governor, gave way to A. Richards, and accepted nomination for congress in the in- terests of harmony. All the delegates from this county were present. Democratic _delegates to Cheyenne left Sheridan and Buffalo Saturday. Johnson is solid for nonfusion. The populist deloga tion from Sheridan and Johnson countie who left by road for Casper today, are also opposed to fusion. Populists Loycott Rallronds.

They are out on a combined geological and pleasure tri —r Liked Fight rg from Afar. Colonel Blowblow belonged to that class of soldiers of which “few die and. none re- sign.”” In winter quarters and in camp he was conspicuous and active; when the fight- ing began he always managed to have his field officers in front, says the Confederate War Journal. One day, in the absence of the general, he took command of the brigade, by virtue of seniority. It is quite possible that in point of seniority he was the rank- ing colonel of the confederacy. As com- mander of the brigade he approached the enemy as if the fate of the day depended upon his life, selecting commanding points whence he could contemplate them through his field glass. Snyder, one of the head- quarter couriers who accompanied him, was asked how he liked the new general. “Wouldn't want a_softer thing than courier- ing for him,” said he, with the smile of a man who looked forward to a long life. “Why, sir, I feel just as safe with him as if 1 was a-sittin’ ‘at home in my father's parlor. e Chas d by an Angry Wife.

He was a_member of the terri- torial legislature of Nebraska, and after- wards a county commissioner of Lancaster county, where he resided since coming to the state until seven years ago, when he had a stroke of paralysis, from which he never entirely recovered, and which was the cause of his death.

Sy WENT DOWN'WITH THE TRAIN. Mrs, Wreck on the cago Great Western Cunsed by the Collapsing of u Bridgo. DES MOINES, Augi f.—(Special Telegram fo The Bee.)—A wretk,on the Chicago Great Western last evening at Peru, thirty miles south of this city, was caused by a cinder which dropped from a locomotive ash pan and smouldered in the dry timbers until it weakened one of the main stringers. When the heavy freight train ran upon the bridge the weakened timbers ylelded to the strain and collapsed. The forward part of the train, together with the engine, fell into the ravine below, killing Conductor Haley and very seriously Injuring the engincer and fire- man, who were brought to this eity, but whose names and residence the officials de- clined to make public. The condition of the former is said to cause grave apprehension. Charles King, a coal miner at Riverion, 1L, was cut on the back and shoulder and had his right arm broken. James Muldoon, a miner of the same place, was cut on the face and had his upper lip cut nearly off and right elbow badly sprained. T. W. Ginnis of Lovelake, Mo., also a miner, was cut about the head” and face and had his ankle sprained. It is sup- posed that all three were stealing a ride, as they were in an empty box car which jumped the track and went to the bottom of the trestle. Conductor John Haley lived at st. Joseph. His head and body were so badly crushed that he lived but an hour. General Weaver's hehemes, CRESTON, Ia., Aug. 7.—(Special to The Bee)—The democrats and populists of the Eighth and Ninth districts are becoming very loving of late, and are embracing each other in fond manner. There's something in it, for Weaver and Stuzrt, since this feel- ing of affection. The democrats will go to Corning tomorrow and nominate Frank 0. Stuart of the Chanton Demccrat for con- gressman from the Eighth district, and an effort is being made to have the populists endorse him. As Stuart is about as much of a populist as a democrat this ought not to be a difficult task. Jimmy Weaver of the Ninth is also addiog his influence to the scheme. Weaver wants the democrats to endorse him, and he has a good prospect of their doing s0. A number of the Ninth district delcgates to the democratic con- gressional convention, to be held at the Bluffs, have been instructed to endorse Weaver, and it is learned that a sufficient number of the delegates have been instructed to make Weaver's endorsement by the demo- crats certain. This will make a fusion in the Eighth and Ninth districts, the calamity class thereby hoping to defeat’ Hepburn. Wi r Ry ul Red N CRESTON, Ia., Aug.

Or, Grinnell Recommands Lac- tated Food, Cholera Infantum Is Reaping a Harvest. Lactated Food Is the Surest Preventative, It Has Saved Thousands of In- fant Lives. Every Parent Should Now Supplied with It. “After usng lactated food for cases of children suffering fro five years in 1 cholera infan tum, and in debilitating or wasting diseas during which time it never failed me, T have pleasure in calling the attention of physicians to it, and In recommending its use.” So rinnell, M. D., the the medical faculty of the University of Ver- ays A. P, dean of mont, and the statemoent is published in the Ladies’ The mothers, More than a fifth of all the babies born in Nebraska die before they have lived a year. And two thirds of these die in summer of cholera infantum and kindred diseq High temperature makes it difficult fc by's stomach to digest its usual food. It is then thatunusual precautions must be taken or the weak, sickly babies fall victims to cholera infantum, During hot weather the strength must somehow be kept up, and yet without bur- dening or overturning the delicate digestive organs. It is just here that mothers and physicians find lactated food necessary. The explanation of the great success of this food, in keeping babies strong through the summer is that in its composition nmature’s food for babies has ben the model. It is pleasant to the taste and is taken by babies with relish, and is easily digested and assimilated, It is what physicians term a pre-digested food, and is especially valuable in all weak conditions of the digestive organs, not only for infants, but for invalids and aged persons, Mothers may stop worrying about their ba- bies after they hiave once been put on a diet of lactated food. Tralned nurses keep lactated food on hand cven when baby is fed on mother's milk. In cases of failure of the natural milk, or when ‘weaning or during any possible illness of the mother, lactated food best takes the place of the natural food. Try it. It saves babies' lives.
