DEATH OF EDWARD IvERSON.
Passed Away Last Night After an Ill.
ness of Only One Week.

Edward Iverson, a young mar be-
tween 10 and 20 years Of age, died last
night about II O'Clock of an intestinal
obstruction, after about a weeks sick
ness from p~eritonitis. The intestinal
trouble, which is called a telescope
condition of the bowels, arose yester-
day and it was found necessary to per-
form an operation, this being the only
chance of preserving life. The opera
ton was performed by Dr.. Hyrup-Ped-
orsen, and the trouble relieved, but
the shock proved too severe for the pa
TENTS weak condition and death en-
sued.
Mr.. Iverson was a sober, industrious
young man, an employe of the Laramie
rolling mill and the sole support of his
widowed mother, his father having died
several years ago. He was insured for
$1,000 in the local lodge of the Frater-
nal Union of America, of which he has
been a member only one year.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence on South Cedar street,
West Side, tomorrow afternoon, at 2:3O
O'Clock, Rev. F. T. Kruger of the Meth
odist Episcopal church officiating.

NEWS Of THE RAIL
ROUTE OF THE NEW ROAD OVER
THE HILL NOT DEFINITE
LY FIXED.
Route by Way of Buford Is Not En-
tirely Satisfactory - Advantages
and Disadvantages of the Different
Plans-Twenty New Compound
Engines for the Sixth District.

During the past two or three weeks
the Cheyenne papers have been letting
the contract for the construction of
the new line between here and the CAPT
tai almost every day. They still have
another guess. 1t is not probable that
the contract will be let for the con-
struction OF the line before the route
is definitely fixed.
Mr.. Stradley, a civil engineer who
has been upon this work for some time
past, has again been called to Omaha
to consult with the management in re-
lation to the matter. The route by the
way of Buford is not entirely s~atisfac-
tory and an effort has been made to
make the connection with the old line
at a point near Granite Canon. There
are many reasons why this would be
preferable. In the first place it would
save a large amount in the operation
of the pusher system, as the round
trip mileage for the pushers would be
fourteen miles less. Again it would cut
down the time to some extent. The
principal objection to the Granite Canon
route lies in the fact that a longer tun-
mel would be required. If the Buford
route is used, a fill of about 10 feet
will be required at Dale creek. All of
the work will be of the heaviest nature.
There is no dirt near at hand to make

complete the question of ballast will
not cut much figure.
1t is not probable that the pusher sys-
TEN will be operated from Cheyenne,
but from Corlett, about six miles this
side. A 40 foot grade can be Sc
cured from Cheyenne tc this station
and it is more desirable and convent
ent to operate the pushers from a sta
ton other than the division point.
This has been demonstrated at Red
Buttes and at other points on the sys-
EN- If it should he decided to make
the double track to Buford instead OF
to Granite. then the mileage for the
pushers would be about forty miles for
a round trip.

The delivery of the new compounds
which will be operated on the Sixth
district will begin about the first of
May. They are being made at the Taun-

size between the 15OOs and 170Os. The

gas was conveyed by pipe to the stoves in
the dwelling on the farm, whore it am
swered the triple purpose of cooking, bak-
ing and lighting, to the surprise of the
astonished people. In the meantime Il
company was formed here who got an
option on the farm for six months. The

Since then drillers have been at work.

There is a pressure of 20 pounds, which is

here and use it for lighting, heating and
burning lime. This is the first instance
in Wisconsin that natural gas has been
put to domestic and mechanical uses.

The average county poorhouse is an
other pathetic and disheartening illustra-
ton of the hardness of popular knoWl
edge and belated legal reform, says
Charles Richmond Henderson in the At
Iantic. If ordinary citizens knew what
almshouses in most regions of the cOun-
try actually are, in construction and adj
ministration, they would demand q
change. Stories of abuses come from all
quarters There is absence of classified
ton. On poor farms men, women and
children herd together, and sometimes
sleep in the same dormitory, without even
curtains between their beds. In remote
places the demented insane are neglected
and treated like animals. Hon
est old people who have served their
country in the army of productive in
dustry fer half century are shut iii,
during long winters, as intimate compan-
ions of WORKOUT criminals. Real work
ing people have Il right to protest with
bitterness against this unjust confusion
of misfortune and crime. If counties are
TOO penuriOus to provide separate homes
for the aged and helpless poor, the COM
monweaith should interfere.

WANTS HIS WEDDING FEE
Rev. Harry Thompson Causes
Sensation at Kenosha.
GROOMS FORGOT TO PAY
Minister Sent Bill Which Made the
Young Men Indienant-Win
Fight Case.

Kenosha, Wis, Feb. 81 Special. L
Rev. Harry Thompson, rector of ST.
Matthew's Episcopal church in this city,
announced last evening, to two newspa-
per men that he would in the near future
bring a suit against two well-known
young men of the city to collect fees due
him for performing the ceremonies at
their weddings. The suits have not as
yet been filed, but the minister says that
they will be in the next few days.
The announcement of the minister ere
ated a great deal Of fun In the city as
the men who are likely to be the defend
ants in the suits, are among the best
known men in the city and are well con-
nected with high society Of Kenosha.
The suit will be the result of con-
troversy between the minister and the
men. The weddings occurred some time
ago and were both social events. One
OF them was celebrated in the church.
During the rush at the wedding both men
forgot to hand the minister the usual fee.
Mr.. Thompson waited a reasonable time
for the boys to pay up, but when pay
ment failed he sent them little re-
minder in the way Of bill. At this the
men became indignant and refused to pay
the bill.
Since that time a wordy controversy
has been on between the minister and the
men and the contest for the fees has been
the talk Of the town.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson stated, in connec
ton with the case. that he did not care
for the money concerned in the transac
ton, but that he would bring the suit in
order to establish precedent for the
benefit Of other ministers in Wisconsin.
The young men are treating the matter
as huge joke and both have declared
their intention of fighting the case in the
courts. Both are connected with wealthy
parents and it is expected that tho suit
will be the most unique fight ever seen
