The bill Of particulars in the civil
suit in the justice court wherein L. S
Hargraves makes suit against c. E
Swarts to secure the payment Of $50
for labor performed was fled with
Justice Calvert Monday There viii be
a hearing Of the case to day at ten
o'clock.
1t seems that Swarts hired R. A.
CrandalI, a member of the firm Of Har-
graves & Crandall, to do some work
with a team at the cemetery. Four
loads Of sod we're hauled from and IL
loads of earth to a lot in the cemetery,
and a charge Of so cents a load was
made, making a total Of $50. The
charge was thought to be excessive by
Swarts and only s. was paid for the
labor to CrandaII. Hence, Mr.. Har-
graves, who performed some Of the
work and not being renumerated, has
taken recourse in the justice court to
obtain the balance claimed.

Dies Of Organic Heart Disease IN Middle
Life-Lsaves Wife and Three
Young Children.

Two and One-half miles south Of Rule
ton on farm is the home of Mrs. Otis
s. Flower and her three children, the
husband and father of whom died Of
complicated heart trouble on Friday,
April .. Interment was made Sun
day, in the Goodland cemetery. Mr..
Flower was only Al years Of age and
died after a lingering illness of several
months
He was for some time the Ruleton
correspondent Of The Republic, until
about four months ago, when he was
forced to give up all activities and
direct all energies Of body and mind to
fight malay that seriously threaten
ed his life. Long before the end came
his doctor told him there was no hope
Of recovery, but he bore up with a for
titude that was really heroic. He was
q man Of good education and when the
neighbors would come to visit him, his
strong mental faculties would so urge
him 70 engage in conversation that at
times he would almost forget his pre-
cariOus condition of body, which, of
course, was followed by exhaustion.
Some years ago he was afflicted with
infammatOry rheumatism which cal
loused the valves in the large arteries
rendering them slow in action, thus
permitting the blood to return to the
heart, which also became deranged and
the circulation greatly impaired eaus-
ing the disease Of which he died.

John and Fred Book are now on their

Of about seventeen years. They first
settled at Beatrice, Neb., where they
have an uncle, Fred working at the har-

timing and hardware business. John
came to Goodland in about 1888 and for
a long time was in the employ Of
George Hess, our pioneer hardware
merchant. When, some seven or eight
years ago, he started in the hardware
business, Fred came on from Nebraska
and since has been associated with
his brother. By diligence, economy
and good business methods they have
prOspered and now have a fine store, a
snug bank account, and a fine bunch
Of cattle. Fred left on Monday April

viii meet on the way and will sail from
New York on the same vessel. The

Improving Their Passenger Coaches.
Instructions have been issued by the
mechanical department Of the Rock
Island that all passenger coaches on
the road must be equipped with steel
platforms. Already many have been
so equipped and as fast as the coaches
can be spared from the daily service
they are run into the shops and the old
platforms taken of and replaced with
new steel ones.
This move on the part of the Rock
Island is in the interest Of safety, as
well as the superiority of the steel
platforms over the old style wooden
ones. George F. Wilson, superintend-
ent Of motive power and equipment Of
the Rock Island, says in regard to the
new steel platforms: st is the great
est improvement to passenger equip
ment of recent date, and in conjunction
with the present wide Yestibultng of
our coaches and trains, in point Of
solidity and strength, is the nearest
approach to perfection yet attained"
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with this change Of wooden to
steel platforms A short time ago
there was an accident in the yards Of
one Of the roads centeTing in Chicago
which proved a great object lesson A
/ passenger coach standing on a side
track was run into with considerable
force by a switch engine. The accident
] proved disastrous to the engine, as it
