that We shall put all our refuse and

Frank Krejcei, laborer employed at the
Cudahy plant, was run over in the railroad
yards about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and killed. The accident occurred at point
a few yards west OF the Armour cattle via
duct. Two refrigerator cars were standing
on the middle track at this point when four
loaded refrigerators were turned loose at
the puzzle switch above and allowed to drop
down to the two stationary cars. The i'm
pact moved the cars a short distance down
the track and Krejcei was knocked down
and run over. 1t is not known whether
Krejcei was standing on the track at the
time or whether he was walking between
the rails with his back to the train. The
body was horribly mangled and brrssed, the
left arm being nearly severed at the shoul-
der, while the wheels passed over the abdo-
men, making a CHASTITY wound. Although
unconscious from the time OF the first shock,
life was not extinct for some fifteen min
utes after the body had been removed from
under the cars. Krejcei was married
man but his family still resides in Bohemia.
He boarded with a sister at Twelfth and
Center streets, Omaha. On account of Cor
oner Swanson having made arrangements
to leave the city today the inquest was held
at Heafey's undertaking rooms last night
and a verdict in accordance with the facts
was rendered.

Yesterday the last Of the assessors books
were turned in to the city clerk and the
totals Of the four wards show valuation of
s1,75l,152 This amount is exclusive OF the
assessment made on railways, telegraphs
and palace car companies by the state
Board of Equalization. Taking past years
as a basis the sum of SOFAS should be
added to the valuation returned by the
county assessors for railways, telegraphs,
etc, thus making a total valuation of Sl,S2l,-
800. This valuation is lower than 1t was a
year ago by s25,7OO. The figures by wards
follow

7 SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

A short time ago the commission men and
others doing business at the stock yards
signed a petition to the Omaha Street Rail-
way company asking for better street car
service on the South Omaha line and also
requesting that all main fine trains be run
west ON n street to Twenty sixth, thence
south to Q, east to Twenty fourth and north
to N, making loop. . Yesterday reply
was received from W. A. Smith, general
manager Of the street railway company
saying that the plan of building the loop
spoken of was all arranged for at one time
but the same trouble arose that does so
frequently in our endeavors to do some good
thing for the South Omaha district" Con-
tinuing Mr.. Smith writes: What suits the
Stock exchange and those connected there
frequently does not seem to fit the of
the eastsiders, who in this case were very
bitter in their opposition. l am sure our
people will be glad to consider any reasona-
BILE proposition at anytime that will meet
the wants Of the city generally."s.
While there is not as much encourage
ment in the reply of Manager Smith as was
hoped for, he certainly stated facts when
fhe said that the loop was all arranged for
at cne time. This was when vestibuled
motors first came into service and the old
switch south of N street had to be abane
time to build the loop, but men on n street,
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty sixth,
objected on the ground that prospective
patrons would ride directly past their doors
instead of walking, as they are now COM
PEELED to do. 1t was in Difference to the
wishes of these business that the loop
was abandoned and the at o street was
built
1t would certainly be great convenience
| to those having business at the stock yards
! If the street cars were run around loop, as
has been suggested, but if this cannot be
| accomplished without tco much opposition
! the old plan of having the Hanscom park
| line extended from Sheely to the stock
| yards may be taken up. The distance from
| Sheely. the present terminus OF the line, to
| the north entrance to the stock yards is
! only about a mile and half. By making
! this extension South Omaha would be given
| two lines to Omaha and thus greatly tighten
! the traffic on the Twenty fourth street line
| 1t is possible that the commission men may
take up this project with view to ascer-
tanning what the street car company feels
| inclined to do in the matter.

the principles OF evolution indeed, 1t is the
only reasonable course, All scientists ac-

that belief they are not more designated
