DRAGGED TO HIS DEATH
JIMMY WEIGH TIED THE FAMILY
cows ROPE TO HIS WRIST.
Cow Ran and Jumped u Fence-Lad's
Father Also Met Sudden Death
Two Years Ago.

Jimmy WEIGH, the eight-year-od son of
Margaret Welch, was killed last night near
his home, No. 516 (old number) Shelby
street. About $50 o'clock he went to
neighboring common to fetch the COW to be
MIXED. AS he had done frequently before,
he tied the rope attached to the cows
horns about his own wrist. When near
home the COW became frightened and ran,
dragging the boy behind her The COW ran
nearly half a mile east on La Grand ave-
nue. to the ground owned by j. G. Adams
and used as a brickyard. Here the COW
jumped a fence and relieved herself of her
burden, the rope breaking when the boy
struck the fence.
Several persons saw the boy dragged to
death, and made frantic efforts to save
him, but they could do nothing. They fol-
lowed, painting, after the animal, and were
close behind her when she left her burden
lying unconscious in the fence corner. They
picked the child up and carried him to his
home, and summoned DIR. G.. S. Bilman.
he arrived and at once saw that there was
no hope. The child had suffered a bad frac-
ture OF the skull and a concession of the
brain. No bones were broken, but the
little body was horrobly bruised and man
gled. At $3.50 o'clock last night death came
to relieve the boy of his suTferings.
TWO years ago the boys father met
tragic death. He was employed by the
Big Four Company in the yards southeast
of the city, and walked every morning out
Prospect street to the railroad and out
the railroad Prospect street is about tWen-
ty feet lower than the grade of the track,
and passes through an arch under the
track. Leading from the street to the track
is a rough stairway of eighteen-inch stone,
used to support the arch. Mr.. WEIGH stum-
bied as he reached the top of the crude
stairs AND fe If to the street nj re is sqsaped
a short time after his injury was received.

their Investments first of all, security The
rate of interest is subordinate to the prime
requisite of safety.
"A more extended market is opened for
the above named securities. Communities
Offering sound, stable and therefore insur-
cial conditions, little difficulty in making
such credit available. while those suffering
unworthy or low credits, hence uninsurable
will be met by serious, and perhaps insur-
mountable obstacles. The line of distinc-
ton between the good and the bad will be
ogniZed than heretofore. Counties, towns,
etc, will avail of our insurance, and in adj
dition to the revenue to the company
theIefrom, further income will be derived
from investors, for the reason that insured
bonds will command premium over un-
good names upon q promissory note are
better than one. Prudent trustees OF saw
ings banks and insurance companies, whose
holdings Of this class of securities are very
large, will doubtless avail themselves of
the additional security offered by the guar
antee of this company.
The company hopes To achieve an honor
able distinction as a conservative force in
the financial world, but like all organized
corporal tons, it is established primarily for
gain. 1t expects and believes that 1t Will
be able to earn reasonable premiums on the
business it undertakes and divide Its
profits among its shareholders.
THE directors of this company have de-
termined that a share capital OF $l,00OOW
and a surplus subscribed, at the time OF
issuing stock, of 100000 will be adequate,
so the effective capital and surplus of the
company will be 81 100000.
THE directors entertain the belief that

PECULIAR POISONS
Generated In the Human Body
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of disease
and death Called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the results of imperfect diges-
ton of food; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process OF decay,
poisoning the blood. making it thin, weak,
ard lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the
brain, causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart causing
ralpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion posons the kidneys, caus-
ing Brghts disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal and weak diges-
ton shows itself not only in loss of APP
petite and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great EngllSh scientist, huSley, sdlu
the best start i'm life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail TO digest food prop
erly. because they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids Qacttc and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy in all cases Of indigestion, is to
take after each meal one or two of Stuart s
DVSpepsia Tablets because they supply in
a pleasant harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves. d bright eye and clear COM
piexion, because all these result only from
Wholesome food well dgested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
or by mail by enclosing price TO Stuart Co,
Marshall, Mich, but ask your druggist
first.

a CITY OF FAST TRAINS
FACILITIES INDIANAPOLIS LINES Of
FER NOT APPRECIATED.
Mr.. 5. VI. FELTON, Gets Another Good
Job-The Baltimore q Ohio Prom
Uses to Maintain Rates.

Charles Rockwell. general traffic manager
of the Chicago, indianapolis & Louisville
lines; Frank Reed general passenger
agent and d. c. Edwards, passenger traffic
manager of the Cincinnati Hamilton &
Dayton, spent the greater part of yester-
day at Indianapolis planning improvements
to their outside office and talking over
train service matters. In this connection
Mr.. Rockwell remarked that there was no
railroad center in the United States which
possessed the advantage Indianapolis does
in number of competing fast trains. AT
indianapolis a traveller can every few
hours catch the fastest trains run in the
country for Chicago, for st. Louis for
New York, for Cincinnati, Louisville or
most any other point north, south, east or
west. He did not think the travelling pub
lie of Indianapolis appreciated it's advan-
tages in this direction. As to passenger
business both Mr.. Rockwell and Mr. Ed
wards said their through business was
highly satisfactory in all directions, but
in local business there was disappointment.
Mr.. Rockwell however, thinks local traffic
will soon improve. A few months, he
thought, would greatly improve matters in
this direction, as with each week all classes
of labor is being better employed. Mr.. Ed
wards took much the same view of matters,
although with the c. H. & D. on some
divisions travel had begun to improve al
ready. The main line is now doing a good
business and the Indianapolis division be-
gins TO show an increased revenue. Re-
garding freight traffic, Mr.. Rockwell said
every day made it look brighter. The ship
ment of stone from the Bedford quarries
had set in briskly. The heavy rains of the
spring caused the quarrymen a good deal
of trouble by washing dirt and sand into
the quarries but this had now been
cleared out and good deal of quarrying
was in progress. Some very large contracts
to furnish stone for Eastern States have al
ready been made, and others are pending.
Chicago will use a good deal of the Bed
ford stone this season. Business with the
new Chicago, Indianapolis, Baltimore Con
tinentaD line increased with each week,
and he was satisfied that the establishing
of this fast freight line was a good thing
for the roads interested-the Monon the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and the
Baltimore & Ohio.

mile, half mile, one mile and ffvemile pro-
fessional championship races will be run
at the National l.. A. w. meet at Phila-
delphia Aug. 6 and T. The professional

declared off for the reason that the pro-
moters were unable to get track con-
structed. A date has been given to Wash
ington, d. c., for Sept. "a.
The suspension of Jasper Parrish, of In
dianapols, has been shortened to expire
July %. He was suspended for using pro-
fame language on the Capital City track

offense was as bad as understood by the
racing board and through their representa-
lions his case was reconsidered He will
now be able to take to the track again and
his friends believe he will be in the best
classes before the season has far advanced.
The bulletin makes official announcement
of the transfer of Carl Thome, of the
Outing team, to the professional class. He
entered that class of his own Voltion at
the beginning of the season.

Brought Into Line.

The Joint Traffic Association. through a
committee consisting of President Thorn
son, of the Pennsylvania, and President
Depew, of the New York Central railroads,
has succeeded in bringing sufficient pressure
to bear on the Baltimore & Ohio to stop
the cutting of freight rates and prevent the
threatened dissolution of the association.
The committee held conference with Re-
ceivers Murray and Cowan, of the Balti-
more & Ohio Company, at the offices of
the Joint Traffic Association in New York
last night. The Baltimore q Ohio was
the aggressor in cutting rates, but as the
receivers were not a party to the associa-
ton agreement it difficult to reach
both, because the company, being in the
hands of the court, is not supposed to be
a party 10 a pooling arrangement and be-
cause of the Supreme Court decision hold
ing that all traffic agreements similar to
the Transmissouri Association are illegal.
The b. & O.'s allotted share of west-bound
freight is IA per cent, and the actual tom
mage carried by it during the last three
months is said to have averaged nearly
twice that amount the loss falling chiefly
on the Erie and Pennsylvania roads. The
tonnage remains to be adjusted according
to the amount formerly allotted under the

FOR THE 1893 MEETING
GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTH-
las, WILL RAISE ABOUT 81, 900.
Indications Point to 100000 Visitors
Lodge and Encampment Sessions.

The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
adjourned last evening after one of the
most satisfactory sessions in its history.
The morning session was occupied yester
day in discussing the part the Grand
Lodge should bear in helping to pay the eX
penses of entertaining the Supreme Lodge
and National Encampment of the Uniform
Rank in this city in August, 1898. Two
propositions were made one to assess the
membership 70 per cent. and the other to
make an assessment of 30 per cent. After
long discussion, in the course of which
stirring appeal was made by James Z.
Watson, the 30-per-cent. proposition pre-
vailed and it is estimated that this will
raise about $1,000. 1t will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to entertain the visitors
properly and the rest of the money will be
raised by the citizens of indianapolis. Gen.
Carnahan's correspondence indicates that
there will be at least twenty thousand uni
formed men here and this means about 100,-
900 strangers in the city. All the uniformed
men will be in camp and it will cost about
$20,0 to provide tents for them. An under
standing was reached yesterday that every
lodge in this domain should attend in uni
form. 1t is probable that this uniform will
consist of white duck trousers, blue coat
and white umbrella.
1t was voted to change the time of the
meeting of the Grand Lodge to the first
Tuesday in October and the next meeting
will be held at that time. 1t was also voted
TO increase the expense appropriation of
the grand chancellor from 500 to $125 a
month. and the salary of the keeper of rec
ords and seal was reduced from $1,000 to
81, 400 a year
AT the afternoon session a very pretty
ceremony occurred when the Boonville
Lodge presented a gold knights charm to
the retiring chancellor, Otto Kolb, men,
Der of the Boonvlle lodge. The presenta-
ton speech was made by James +. watson.
The new chancellor, Union B. Hunt, an
nounced the appointment of George w.
