The Co-EmpIoye Bill.

The assembly settled the Co-employe
bill question Friday morning by adopting
the substitute bill recommended BY the
Railroad committee. The terms OF the
bill are such as to entitle employees to
damages when they are injured by the
contributory negligence of those employed
in the departments that may correctly be
called hazardous. This, in the Judgment
of the committee, was drawing the line in
spirit Of justice to both sides. The sub
stitute was adopted and ordered to third
reading by vote of rs to 3. The bill
reads as follows:
every railroad corporation doing bust
ness in this state shall be liable for dam
ages sustained by any employe thereof
within this state without contributory
negligence on bis part, when such dam
age is caused by the negligence of any
train dispatcher, telegraph operator, sup
erintendent, yardmaster. conductor or
engineer, or any other employe who has
charge or control of any stationary, signal,
target point, block or switch.

The Pond Bill.


The following letter appears in The Sen
tinel of March 80:
To the Editor of The Sentinel:
WATERFOWL, March 25.-In your paper
of the 25th inst. | find letter of Senator
Pond referring to his bill, and likewise
sone other letters referring to the same
su biect AS Lutherans mainly oppose this
bill and as their position in this matter
evidently is not understood correctly by
many, allow me to state in a few words
their position in regard to the public
schools and to the Pond bill
Latherans believe that our public
schools are necessity, and that therefore
every loyal citizen should gladly pay his
taxas to maintain and improve theM.
Lutherans believe also that money col
lected bv taxes should never be paid to
denominotional schools, not only because
that would be against the constitution,
but also because it would be unjust. We
do not wish to be taxed to support the in
situations of other denominations and
therefore do not wish others to be taxed
to support ours.
Lutherans do not wish that religious in
structiou of any kind should be introduced
into the public schools. We believe the
Bible TO he the most precious book, but
we would think it oppressive to force this
book or its doctrines on such of our fell
low-citizens az do not want it.
Lutherans believe that the state is SUI,
preme in all matters temporal and would
never try to bring it under the control or
influence OF the church. But we believe
that the state never should try to inter-
fere with things spiritual, as that does net
concern it and would of necessity become
tyrannical,
We, therefore, oppose any state inter
ference in our parochial schools, which
are part of our church system. We are
not opposed to giving the state all the
statistics it wants. But we wish any Law
providing them to be framed in such a
manner as to discontinue any interference
OF the state with eur private affairs.
We would not have opposed the Pond
bill if it had not transgressed these limits
but the original bill put our parochlal
schools under the supervision of the city
and county superintendent, some OF
whom are open enemies of our schools.
And the second amendment brings in al
entirely different matter, viz: the inter-
pretati. of the law of 1879. which has
nothing to do with general statistics. This
is the position of the Lutnerans on this
question, and this position we are going
to maintain, by explaining and showing
the fairness and justice thereof, II that is
sufficient, or if tia: does not work, ey dc
Tending our rights at the polls.

Sad Death of a Young Man.

Last Wednesday afternoon John Koh-
latt, employed on the farm of John How
ard, in Emmett, was run over by Mr.
Towards team and received injuries
that resulted fatally. Mr. Howard
and Kehlatt each came to town with
a team loaded with barley, and while
unloading the grain at the Pritzlatf
elevator, near the Northwestern depot,
both teams became frightened and ran
away. Kohlatt started to catch the team
he had driven, and getting in front of
the horses, was knocked down and the
wagon passed over him. When picked
up he was not supposed to be badly in
jared, only slight wound on his head
being visible, although bleeding at the
nose quite freely He was taken to a
house close by, where he lay until next
day, when he was removed to his home in
the Fifth ward and received medical at
tention from DR.. F. O. Werner. Friday
evening he commenced sinking, paralys
having set in, and he continued to grew
worse until death came to his relief sSat-
urday morning. The case is a very sad one
and calls for general sympathy, Kohlatt
being the only son and chief support Of q
widow ed mother. He was young man
of excellent habits, and Mr.. Howard
speaks of him as most industrious and
trustworthy. His age was % years.
