Mrs. Sadie Duncan, of Anamosa.
Iowa, succumbed to 4 sudden attack
of neuralgia of the heart at the Rock
Island house at O'Clock last night.
ii. W. GUY, who came to the hotel
with the deceased Monday and regis
tered as her husband. states that they
were to have been married Thursday.
Mrs. Duncan was 81 years old
She had been complaining of pain
in the heart for the past week. but
her condition was not such as to
occasion anxiety either on the part of
her or her companion, according to
his story, until about noon Yesterday,
when she was taken desperately ill.
Drs. L. NJ. Sala and j. X. Hollowbush
were summoned and did what they
could for the woman, but all hopes of
saving her seemed futile. for she sank
rapidly until the end came. The
body was taken to Undertaken Wheel
ans parlors. The attending physi-

tiGcate, Guy, to remove any suspicion
that might arise, and to satisfy him
self as TO the cause of Mrs. Duncan S
unexpected demise, ordered post
mortem examination, which was
made today by Drs. Z. NJ. Sala. C.. C..
Carter, W. Fl. Ludewig and J. K.
Hollowbush. They found that death
was due to the ailment above stated.
and so reported to jury empanelled
by Coroner Eckhart to hold an inquest
over the remains.
Guys story
The sensational incident of the sad
affair was produced when Guy, with
a noticeable degree of reticence, took
the stand To testify before the jury.
1t was generally understood that
the deceased was his wife, and had
been recorded as such on the inquisi-
tion papers, but the correction was
made after Guy had given his state
ment. He said that her name was
Sadie Duncan, that she was widow,
and had brothers and sisters at Ana
mosa, her parents being dead. He
stated that he was formerly n man
ager for the Eclipse Installment COM

The jury, w. H. Cline. S. r. Wright,

u verdict ia accordance with the evil
dence of the physicians.
Dr. Sala. while not satisfied as to all
the circumstances of the case from
the first, and refusing on that account
to issue death certificate until after

up to that time he had

that there is a strange mystery. about
the case that he would like to see ex-
planned.
The body was shipped to Columbus

SNOW IN THE EAST.
Ten Inches in Northern New York and
Six Inches in New Jersey.

NEW YORK, Nov. M.-Thanksgiving day
began with rain, which turned into sleet and
then snow, and wound up with fairly clear
skies, but with much dampness in the air.
For a while it looked as if the predicted
blizzard had struck New York. The fall
of snow is an inch and a half the fall of the
thermometer so degrees. Two below freez-
ing point was registered at D. m, and the
mercury showed no inclination after that to
rise. Real inconvenience was caused by the
storm throughout the outlying districts.
In northern New Jersey the change from
rain to snow came about noon, and for hours
thereafter it showed heavily, with no sign
of abatement. Fully six inches of snow had
fallen by o'clock tonight, and it was form
ing heavy drifts under the action of a strong
northwest wind. Blockade threatened all the
trolley lines running to Bound Brook, Plain
field and New Brunswick.
Reports from the extreme north of the
State were that not within the memory of
living men had the snowfall been so heavy
for the time of the year. Ten inches of
snow was reported at Lake Hopatcong, and
the lake was frozen over.
There were high winds and gales along the
New Jersey and Long island coasts, but in
the evening the storm passed off toward
Block island and Nantucket, heading for
Nova Scotia.

DEBAR THE PoLYGAMIsT.
Member of Congress Who Should Not
Be Allowed to Take His Seat.

There will rest upon the FHfty-sixth ma
tlona House of Representatives one duty
concerning its own membership which, dis
agreeable though it may be, cannot and
must not be evaded This is the unseating
OF Brigham Fl. Roberts, who has been
elected as the member from Utah.
Roberts has been chosen by d majority
of the electors of Utah as a confessed and
professed polygamist. The issue was dis
tinctly made that he lives with three wives
as part of the profession of his religion
He was fought the hustings ana at the
polls upon that issue, and Utah has chosen
TO declare this man its representative But
the contest must not end there. BY fedora
statute and by the state constitution under
which Utah was admitted to the TTnion
polygamy is explicitly forbidden Religions
liberty is guaranteed in the United States
but practices that can only tend to the de-
generation Of the human race are prohibited
under whatever disguise Of fanaticism thew
may be yelled.
Polygamy cannot be permitted to mas
querade as plety; The foundation of the
American Republic is the home Whatever
tends tc degrade and divide the sacred rela-
tons of the family must be eradicated from
our pohtlcs; Otah, by electing this man upon
this aVoWed issue to Congress- has confessed
that its people crept into statehood unon
false pretenses. Utah posed as a repentant
sinner, longing to be admitted into the
precious privilege of admission inro the
Union. BY a protested reputation Of poIvg-
amy and an alleged separation of Mormon
ism from its territorial government Utah
claimed TO have purified itself into WORTH
ness TO become one of the SiSterhOOd of
States. But now Utah openly and hagrantly
denies this agreement and defes the rest Of
the Nation by sending to Congress man
who openly proclaims that plurality Of wives
IS an essential article of mis- religious creed
The admission of Utah to statehood was
accompanied by not few misgivings, even
among the friends of the development Of
that territory The warming. was repeated
time after time in the Mail and Express

avowed and prohibited practices of polyg-

denunciation Of the renewal Of this abomina-
ton as publicly prevalent In Utah, and

CINCINNATI, Nov 24.-The game be-
tween the University of Cincinnati and In
diana University. of Bloomington, to-day
was one Of the closest football contests ever
played on a Cincinnati gridiron. The In
diana men showed unexpected strength on
the offensive and their close formations and
mass plays on tackle netted them big gains.
Both teams seemed able to gain at will.
Cincinnati had a shade the better of it in
the kicking department. but the visitors
defensive work more than made up for this
advantage. Cincinnati scored its first touch
down on a tumble made by Indiana when
on its own ten-yard line. The Cincinnati
men say that the Bloomington boys have
the strongest team that has played in Gin
cinnau this year, not even excepting Ober-
lin. Each team made two touchdowns and
missed goal once, making the score IL to IL.
This is the second tie these universities
have played this year, the other game hav-

RAILWAY TRAFFIC..
A Problem for the High Joint Conn
mission.

Washington Special in Chicago Post
About the knottiest problem before the
Canadian nigh joint commission is that pre-
sented by the cut-throat competition for
traffic between American ana Canadian
railways. The Canadian and English meme
berS OF the commission are q unit for pro-
tecting their railroads. one of which is a
military road subsidized for at least $200, 000,-

William Van Horne some time ago. The
American members are greatly divided as
to what should be done. As matters now
stand the American roads and the American
people are taxed heavily TO maintain the
Dominion systems. The American lines

Great Northern are not pressing for re-
adjustment Of conditions for the reason
that what they lose on through Eastern
traffic is made up, in part, at least, in BUSH
ness obtained in Canadian Pacific territory
by their many feeders and for the audi-
tional reason that they have or late years
been able to divide through business with

The Atchisou, Topeka q Santa F'e and
Union Pacific would appear TO be the worst
sufferers. and the managers of these prop
critics have not taken an aggressive stand
for the protection Of their interests, so far
as can be learned.
One thing which has been called to the
attention of the American commissioners
by experts is the fact that the Grand Trunk
and not the Canadian Pacific Is the largest
beneficiary from the existing conditions
which permit the manipulation of rates by
roads not entirely within the jurisdiction
of the United States interstate commerce
law. The latitude given the Grand Trunk
permits IL TO reach out and gather In an
enormous aggregate traffic originating in
the territory in the west and southwest Of

Pacific also would be hurt but not TO the
extent that it's rival Canadian system would
be- Heretofore the Grand Trunk has hard
ly been mentioned when the question has
been up protecting American railroads
against Canadian comps tition. and the
statement that it would be the chief suffer-
er from the enforcement of law or treaty
regulation for the prevention of rate ma
nipulation will be in the nature of sur
prise to even the generality of railroad
men.

BEATEN BY GIRLS.
Miss Nora Bitner's Hair Pulled and
Her Skull Fractured by Kicks.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 24.-Miss Nora Bitner,
a respected young lady of Allegheny, was
beaten so badly this afternoon by three
girls (none of whom are over fifteen years
of age) that she will probably die. Her
assailants, Mamie Wright, Sophia Mickle
and Maria Bennett are in Jail. The cause
Of the assault is rather mysterious. 1t
seems that Miss Bitner, with a young lady
companion, was walking along East Ohio
street, and in passing a group of young
girls at play. she made some Jocular remark
concerning the party, whereupon one of
the youngsters grabbed her by the hair
and pulled her to the ground. While pros
trate Miss Bitner was kicked on the head
and beaten into insensibility. Her compan-
ion was unable to protect her and a rescue
was only effected when two men came on
the scene. The physicians attending Miss
Bitner say her skull is fractured and
blood clot has formed on her brain. Her
recovery is doubtful.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 24.-The sensa-

stirred the legal profession in this city to
it's foundation. Ex-Judge Blandin, who so
severely arraigned the members of the
county bench is receiving congratulatory
kilograms from all over the State for his
fearless stand in the matter. The Common
Pleas judges are greatly wrought up They
will undoubtedly take some action in refer
ence to the matter, but whether to resent it
by bringing Judge Blandin up for contempt
or to make a statement through the press
has not yet been decided. Many attorneys,
however, believe that Judge Blandin will be
cited to appear for contempt of court. 1t is
said that Judge Ong may take the initia-
