Bturecks Brings Out Little Oonoerning Acoident. TRAINMEN DENY KICKING HIM OFF Brakeman Who Was Present Said He Simply Told Him to Get Of, and in Doing So Sturecks Fell on the Rail. The inquest Tuesday afternoon over M. J. Sturecks of Columbus, Neb., who claimed to bave been thrown from a Rock Island freight train near Minden, Ia., Satu recelving injuries which ended in his death, resulted in the coroner's jury returning this verdict: ‘“Deceased came to his death by reason of an accident recefved on the Rock Island traln known as No. 66, the cause of which this jury canmot determine.” H. Baird, B. A. Bonham and T. A. Eaton comprised the jury. G. W. Taylor, conductor of freight train No. 56, was the first witness examined. He testified that before leaving Minden he gave orders to the crew to put off all the bums found on the train. When the acci- dent occurred the train was passing over a plece of track being repaired and wi running not to exceed three miles an hour. He saw the brakeman on the top of the train and knew that he did not go down to kick Bturecks off the position he was oc- cupying on the bumpers. The other brake- man, he said, was in the caboose with him. Willlam Miller, the brakeman whom Sturecks alleged had kicked him off the train testified that before leaving Minden he had helped put the “bume” off the train and that he stood by them in order to prevent them climbing on again until the signal to go was given. He climbed on the car next the caboose and started forward to ascertain if any of the tramps had suc- ceeded in jumping the train. Hé came across one fellow five cars ahead of the caboose, whom he ordered off and the fel- low at once complied. The train at this time was running not to exceed three miles an hour, the witn afd, and a man could have walked as fast as it was going. Seven cars from the caboose he found & man who proved to be Sturecks sitting on the bump- ers. The witness said he told him that It he stayed there he would surely get hurt and told him to jump off,’ as they could Dot carry him. Miller said the fellow got off In & most awkward manner, as if he was somewhat under the influence of liquor. Sturecks, he sald, stumbled and extended, one belng partially on the rail and the wheels of at least two cars went over it. Miller said he at once signaled the engineer to stop and the train was pulled up in a car's length atter the engineer got the signal. Made No Complaint, The witness then testified to Sturecks® being taken back to Minden and at that time he made no complaint of being thrown from the train. He was taken to the office of & _local doctor, who declined to amputate the arm, and Dr. Doyle, the company's surgeon at Neol sent for. Dr. Doyle on arrival dresded the injured arm tem- porarily and ordered Sturecks sent to Coun- el Blufts. Fred Willlams and George Caskey, two other members of the train crew, did not witness the accident, but helped take Sturecks back to Minden. They testified that he made no complaint about being throwd from the train. Thomas Thomsen, keeper of a boarding car, with whom Sturecks had boarded for two weeks, testified he was in the doctor's ofice when Sturecks was broyght la. sald Sturecks asked him as a friend to see that they did not cut off his arm. Sturecks, he sald, made a statement to the doctor, but everyone was ordered out of the office while he was making it. The witness, how- ever, sald he heard part of it and that Sturecks sald a brakeman had told him to get off the train or he would kick him off and that he had jumped off to keep from belng kicked off. Odie Parmley, a lad employed to carry water for a section gang, witnessed the ac- cident and saw Sturecks roll out from un- der the train. He testified that he heard Sturecks say that a brakeman had kicked him off. On cross-examination young Parm- ley testified that he had later heard Stur- ecks say that & brakeman had told him to get off or he would kick him off. Clyde Pitman, who was ridiog on a flat- car in the train, testified that he did not witness the accident, but saw Sturecks roll out trom between the cars and a: taking him back to Minden. He Sturecks stated that a brakeman had or- dered him to jump off, otherwise he would be kicked off. The statement made by Sturécks to the doctor at Minden was not introduced in evidence. Sturecks shortly before his death in the Woman's Christian Assoclation hos- pital in this city made a statement to his brother in which he charged that he had been thrown from the train.

Baughn of Harlan from moving a house off his property near Mos- quito creek. Napier sets forth in his peti- tion that the Great Western rallroad is pre- paring to build a trestle right through his property and that the defendants are pre- paring to remove the house to the west side of the trestle and that if permitted to do #0 he would be unable to move it back to its original site. He asks for mandatory injunction, The Great Western brought condemnation proceedings agalust Napler, who was comstructing a large residence on his property and the rift's jury awarded him $3,100, which included the value of the house. The Great Western, it is said, sold the house to Baughn, who contracted with Hollenbeck Bros. to move it to a lot on Harrison street in this city. The railroad appealed to the distriot court from the sherif’s jury award and Napler takes the position that he is still owner of the house until that matter of damages is settled. Davis sells palot.

WOMAN DRAWS A DARK PICTURE Deplots Condition of Negro in South Pitiful and Statements Are Questioned. Miss Annette Newcomer of Des Molnes, secretary of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, created somewhat of a sensa- tion yesterday morning at the Christian church convention by her radical statements concerning the condition of the negro in the south. She plctured the negro in such abject condition that several members of the convention rose and questioned her thority for s.ch statements. One minister asked where she cecured her Information, and she replied rom books she had read on the subject. The minister then suggested that she had better visit the south, as he had, and see for herselt before making such statements. Miss Newcomer, in her urged that missionaries be sent among thc southern negroes. A discussion as to what the relations of the pastor should be toward the socleties of his church showed that the consensus of opinion was that he should have complete control of the several socleties, even to the appointing of the officers. The program as arranged was carriéd out with one or two minor exceptions. Mrs. Pickett of Omaba was' unable to be present at the evening session and her place on the program was filled by Miss Newcomer, who gave an interesting talk on the mis- slon work in forelgn countries of the church. Miss Florence Mills of Des Moines, who will leave in the fall for India as a missionary, gave a complete and interest- ing description of the condition of the women in that country, where girls are be trothed while mere infants, married as young as 8 years and are mothers before reaching their teens. The attendance s not what had been ex- pected, those present from out of town mot exceeding fifty. This will be the program for today's sessions: Forenoon: !I)—Devetlonul R. 8.

The institution is well endowed and has & full corps of able Instructors, but owing to the close proximity of the great eastern universities its enrollment h: d clined, so that during the present year only fourteen students were enrolled In its clasees. The board of trustees of Iowa college, located at Grinnell, have instructed Presi- dent Bradley to correspond with the New England board and endeayor to induce them to bring the institution to Grinnell. Towa offers an excellent fleld for a theo- logical seminary, being in the center of a group of states, none of which have such an institution. Grinnell, for over fifty years the seat of Iowa college, offers peculiar advantages for the location of such an in- stitution. Colored Women Organize Club.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK OF NEW REPUBLIC Future the Natlon Depends Education and Good Work Began s Must Be | Continued. of on by Americ May 28.-President Palma's message & published here tonight and will be delivered to the Cuban senate tomorrow. The message opens by giving thanks to the Almighty for His jstance In carrying out the work of obtaining Cuban Independence, and asks divine ald In the establishment of a firm and stable goverament “Never did a people fight with more per- severance,” says the message, “and sacri- fice mote for liberty than have the Cubans. No people, therefore, are more entitled to see their just efforts crowned with suc- cess. Together with our own herolsm ls the attitude of the great people impelled by their own love of liberty to put them- selves on our side In our tenacious fight for the independence of the country. Thelr motlive was one of generous sentiment, pure and disinterested in origin. “Impelled by this sentiment, the powerful republic of the nmorth recognizes through its {llustrious president, the republic of Cuba. The promise formally made has been carried out. In this moment, when we feel our right as an Independent natlon, it is impossible to euppress our gratitude to the United States. Recognition of Debt Exalts. “To recognize this debt of gratitude to the great nation is an act which exalts us and which makes us worthy of the con- sideration and respect of the other nations of the world. It is necessary now to dle- tate all the laws laid down in the constl- tution. We are capable of fulfilling all the obligations and compromises which bave been contracted and we should pre- pare the budget with the greatest care.” President Palma recommends the encour- agement of the agricultural industries of the island, the raising of cattle, the estab- lishment of agricultural stations to im- prove the culture of sugar cane and to- bacco and the introduction of varied agri- cultural industries. ““While the question of reciprocity is still pending,” the message goes on, “it is im- possible to state now what measure should be adopted to meet the pending crisis. This crisis is due to the ruinous price of sugar caused by excessive production of beet sugar in Europe. An immediate rem- edy would be the reduction of the America- can tariff on sugar to obtain which the executive will at once devote his efforts and will negotiate a treaty in order to ob- taln benefit for the Cuban sugar producers. Must Increase Rural Guard. “If security of life and property in Cuba 1s to be finally guaranteed, the rural guard must be reorganized and increased, as the present tranquillity in the island Is due to the people themselves and their de- sire to maintain the prestige of thelr coun- try. “We recognize that durtng the American intervention the sanitary conditions of the tsland were greatly improved, but it is necessary to continue this work and make those improved conditions permanent. “The office of judge in Cuba should be permanent and to constitute this principle of immovability should be one of the firet | dutles of congre: President Palma declares 1t 1s the pur- pose of the government to devote its at- tention to education, and especially to pri- mary schools. He says the goverhment of intervention deserves great credit for the educational system it established, but that there 1s a need for still more schools, as the future of the republic depends upon education. More Rallronds Wanted. It will be the duty of the government to encourage the copstruction of rallroads in the island and to protect the capital al- ready invested in rallroad enterprises. The executive says he realizes the obll- gation which the government contracted with the Cuban army and that if means are not now taken to make good this obll- gation it is because of the bad economic situation of the country. President Palma says he does not yet know how the ordi- Dary expenses of government are to be met. “It is very essential to us,” the presi- dent says, ‘“‘that the republic of Cuba has been officially recognized by the United States, Great Britain, France, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo, Ecuador and Paraguay, and we hope that other countries will also recognize our re- public. We must cultivate cordlal rela- tions with all nations and make treaties of commerce favorable to Cuba. We must also take especial care that the relations between Cuba and the United States be most friendly in order that there be no difficulty in arranging the official and po~ litical questions which affect both couns tries. It is also of extreme Iimportance that there should exist uninterrupted ac- cord between all the people of Cuba, and that they should resolve to preserve the Cuban nationality.” WRECK OF MINE COMPLETE Explosion Which Killed Hundred and Fifty Men Moves Tons of Rocks, VANCOUVER, B. C., May 28.—A special trom Fernle, B. C., say: The explosion which kllled 151 men oc- curred in one of the lowest workings, known as Beaver pit. The wreck of the workings is sald to be complete.
