In Cleveland. O., the other night a
man suffering with rheumatism was held
up by footpad. Up to that time the suf-
ferer had walked only with the greatest
difficulty and pain; but when the footpad
commanded him to hold up his hands he
took to his heels and ran like a deer. And
since then, the man declares. he has
never once felt twinge of the rheuma-
sism; his cure is complete. If a hold-up
is good for the disease, Chicago ought to
he a good resort for rheumatics.

gers" and Damages Are Asked.
Sioux City, Aug. 13.-Because the
owners of the Henrietta refused to allow
him to ride on the, boat, j. w. Hughes.
colored of Texas. has filed suit in the
district court for $500 damages. 1t is
claimed that the boat managers diso
eliminated against Hughes because of
his color and that the humiliation he
experienced in this way was worth the
sum asked.
The right to receiver damages is based
upon the provision of the statutes that
no citizen can be denied the right to
ride in public conveyances of any kind.
The Iowa code makes discrimination
against citizen Of any kind an indict-
able offense, and Hughes believes that
If his rights are so thoroughly recog-
nized by the legal authorities, any in
fringement upon them is worthy of
damages. He could have had the pro-
prietors of the boat arrested, accord
ing to the statute, but preferred the
balm Of the cash recompense.
Hughes came a few days ago from
Texas, and he is typical southern ne
gro. His skin is coffee-colored, his whole
bearing is that of an African of the
south. He was on his way to Chicago
when he arrived in Sioux City. In the

Ing the official information that Judge

his resignation as Judge Of the district

generally anticipated on account of his
poor health. The letter itself contains
no direct reason for the resignation, but
1t has been matter of current report in

The district includes the counties Of

Carl Stoner. young man of Lincoln,
Neb. Stoner, under the assumed name
of Roy Turner, rented bathing suit at
the Kursaal between 5 and o'clock
Saturday evening. He failed to return
to the Kursaal for his clothing and val
uables Saturday night, but the attend
ants at the beach did not believe that
he had been drowned until about 2
o'clock yesterday morning, when his
continued absence caused alarm and a
search was at once inaugurated for the
missing man.
Last evening about 6 o'clock his body
was discovered in about eight feet of
water, about thirty feet outside the dan
ger line at Manhattan Beach. So far az
known, Stoner was alone, and no one
has been found who saw him sink from

An interesting legal point will arise

covered that a collision was inevitable
Greene lost his reason and became
violently insane, being prevented from

him.
He is now under the influence of

permanently impaired. Greene re-
ceived orders to let gravel train go,
to pass the freight at TT. Dodge, but
later orders notified him that they
would pass at Ohio. By mistake he
gave the first orders to the gravel
train. which had gone too far to be re-
called before he noticed the blunder.
He wired Ft. Dodge, but the freight
had already left. Then his mind
snapped under the strain. The trains
came together on heavy grade, but
the crews jumped and escaped injury.
The engines were badly smashed. but
aside from this the damage was slight.
