DAMAGE CASE DECIDED.
Supreme Court sustains Denial OF
Damages For Railroader'a Death.

The supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the Wyandotte county district
court in the case of Caroline Beal
against the Santa Fe railroad. Mrs.
BeaTs husband was a car cleaner, and
was killed at the stock yards in Kan
sas City while crawling under a car.
Mrs. Bea1 sued for damages, but the
lower court decided against her. She
appealed, and was again beaten. The
supreme court, in an opinion by Chief
Justice Doster said:
'tOne who, with knowledge of the
grossly negligent and reckless habit of
another, voluntarily and unnecessarily
places himself in the way of receiving
injuries at his hands, is guilty of con-
tributery negligence, and can not excuse
himself upon the ground that the con-

FLOUR MILLS CLOSE.
Nearly Half of Those in Minneapolis
Quit Until After the Election.

Minneapolis, MINI, Oct. s.-Nearly
one-haIf of the -four mills operating in
Minneapolis closed Saturday night for
an indefinite length of time. The Wash
burn-Crosby and the Pillsbury Milling
companies say that 40 per cent. of their
mills viii close. and it. is also reported
that the Consolidated Milling company
viii discontinue operations, although it
is not learned how many mills will be
affected
The officials report that the decision is
due to the late shortage in demand for
-four. The foreign trade, it is declared,
is practically dead, while the present
stock of the mills will be sufficient to
to come.
It is commended generally that the
coming election and political influence
have to some extent brought about the
sudden decline in demand and it is prob
able that none of the mills will resume
operations until after it is over.

Wallace L. EgsIeston Has His
Hand Badly Torn by a Saw at
Western PIaning Mill.

Wallace L. Eggleston, an emrloye at
tho Western Planning Mill, while work
ing this morning had his right hand
almost completely severed from his
arm.

ice which had been buried in the saw
dust yesterday to keep it from melting,
it being the custom at the mill each day,
to save = piece of ice for the following

all. The tendons we're all torn except
one.

the badly cut hand dressed. The pain
on account OF the jagged nature OF the
wound, was very severe but at 10 o'clock

myself man." was the text chosen.
Rev. Mr.. schwarm quoted expressions
from eminent writer's in clarifying true
manhood. He gave several standpoInts
used to size up man. Some thought
the dude the proper man; some lauded
the military type; others considered
the Intellectual giant man with u
big head, the ideal. The Latin word
for man, said the speaker, was "vir,"
from which is derived virtue. So the
true man should have virtue. He
should also have purity, honor, cour-
age, generosity and love. These at
tributes were typIfed by Christ.
To be man one must exert himself,
said Rev. MIR schwarm. Too many men
went through life Plmlessly, and he
urged his young hearers to initiate
Christ. the Son of Man and the God
man.
