der Locomotive.


der Locomotive.
at 1885 yesterday morning an un-
known man threw himself in front of a
switch engine in the Omaha yards, near
the Payne avenue bridge, and an in
slant later his head was crushed be-
meath the wheels OF the locomotive.
The engineer saw well-dressed man
run toward the track, as if intending to
jump on the foot board Of the engine.
When the engine was within ten feet of
him the man deliberately threw himself
OH the track, placed his head on the
rail. and awaited death. The engineer
reversed the lever, but the distance was
too short in which to stop. and the heavy
uachlne passed over the suicides head.
- A search of the clothing brought to
hight the following note written ON a
small piece torn from blank book:
II "FrOm France. None to claim my
body in the United States. l ain tired
Of thi world. Please bury my body"
There was nothing else by which the
remains could be identified, land Coroner
White Omb, after learning the facts or
dered the body sent to Gutluuz & Rock
Stroh's undertaking rooms. from which
place it will be sent to the cemetery
this morning and buried at the expense

REPRESENTATIVE of all the leading
boards of trade and commercial bodies
in session at Chicago discussed the pro-
posed anticipation bill at length. and con-
cluded that the proper place to fight all
such legislation was in the courts. not in
the lobby of congress. The conclusion
was wise one. No amount of lobby
work will prevent the congressional
cIanks from trying to regulate COM
M cree according to cast-iron rules, but
the courts, happily, are presided over
by men of better average sense than the
members of congress possess. and will
overtlrn any attempt to supersede nat
ural by statutory laws.

its revival this season has been eagerly

1t was originally produced in London,

the greatest melodrama that eminent
author. George r. Sims, ever wrote. W.

attractions under his direction. but the
"ROmany Rye" has proved one of the
best winners, and it goes to show that
he did not make any mistake in his
Judgment as to what the public require.

employed none but artists of repute and
people perfectly qualified to carry out

an actor better fitted to the part.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Members of

interest the action of the senatorial

The ways and means committee
room is again the center of activ-

Gus is pretty fully understood and dis
cussed. The tendency to put the Wilson
Dill under fire is watched for the ulti-
mate effect it will have on re-
vision of the tariff. The statement
made in the caucus that the Wilson
bill had been framed without any
consultation with President Cieve-
land or Secretary Carlisle is denied by
members of the committee. An Asso-
