ATLANTA, GA, July 21.--In his Peo-
pies party paper OF this week, out to-
night, Thomas Watson calls on Senator
Butler to res. gn the National chairman
ship of the Peoples party. He says:
with Butler q. the head of our host,
the host is not going to march. We have
had enough of Butler and Butlerism. he
has deceived us and is deceiving US now.
He is in collusion with our foes, just as

in trying 1t.

Limbs THAT
AWAIT BURIAL
Peculiar Difficulty That the
Hospital Steward
May Meet.
Victims of Accidents Some
times Ask That Their Lost
Limbs Be Put Straight.
Why the Coroner Is Not in a Hurry
to Take Them to the Cemetery
for Interment.
OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
oOS Broadway july 21

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO GALL
908 Broadway, July 81.
There are two limbs al the Receiving
Hospital that NOBODY is anxious to take
away. They were amputated from the
unfortunate victim of railroad accident,
and owing 10 very peculiar circumstances
neither Steward Taber nor Coroner Bald
win desires the responsibility of burying
them.
On three distinct occasions people who
have suffered amputations at the hospital
have professed to suffer because their
limbs were not inferred properly. They
have complained of cramp and would not
be pacifed until the limbs were disin-
tered and laid straight.
The last case was that OF a man whose
arm was taken off. He declared that his
fingers were not straight and that they
panied him. The limb had been buried,
and Steward Tobin told the man he would
attend to it, thinking that the delusion
would wear Off. This was not the case,
aud after Tobin had lost couple of
nights sleep he decided that there must
be some hing in the mans complaint, so
he went out to the cemetery, exhumed
the arm and found that the fingers were
in cramped position. He straightened
them out and his patient never bothered
him any more.
AS a rule the Coroner takes the mem-
bers from the hospital and buIies them at
the cemetery, but be does not wish 10 do
so if he should have to go out there and
attend to them later. The steward does
not want to undertake the responsibility
of burying them so that they will cause
their late owner no more trouble, but
nevertheIess theV will be- inferred to- NJ or
row.
In one case that occurred in this city, a
Mrs. Caters who was accidentally shot,
causing her to lose member, complained
for six months that the position of her
limb was causing her pain, and after it
was changed she professed 10 be free Of
any feeling of cramps.

establish an institution which it IS believed
will be of the greatest benefit in mill
town where the street is the natural home
OF so many boys. To this end he had an
examination made of similar institutions
in all parts Of the country, and when this
was completed the project took practical
form, first in the office of an architect and
later In the erection of the building which
it to be the Boys Club Of Fail River. The
building is now nearing completion and
is receiving its inside finish. When it is
opened the event will be made nota bic

reaching significance. There is already a
boys club in Fail River, started few
years ago, and now occupying temporary
home near the site of the new clubhouse.

BADLY Decomposed Body of Man
Found Under n Sidewalk.
NEW YORK, N. Y. July 21.-The Jour
na's Chicago advices say that nnder a
wooden sidewalk at Grand and Kedsie
avenues in the weeds and rubbish, the
decomposed body of man was discov-
cred by William Berthius, young ped
dIer, tonight. Almost covering the body
and loosely wrapped about the lower
limbs, was a rusted baIbed wire. The po-
lice are inclined to accept the theory oI
murder, the presence of the barbed wire
being evidence that the man was foully
dealt with. The only clew 10 his identity
is laundry slip.
The body is that OF large man about 4C
years OF age. He was dressed in good
suit of brown clothes, and his underwear
was of good quality. The vicinity where
the body was found is desolate, small
saloon half block away being the only
building within half mile. The pedder
has been passing the corner daily for some
time, and had his attention drawn by the
sickening odor. Tonight he decided to
investigate. When the body was found
the police were i'm mediately notified.
