DIES CALLING her DEAD.
Mrs. Hughes Mourns to the
Last for Her Husband,
Buried Saturday.

s'I'll soon be with you, john said the
wife of Patrolman Hughes when his body
was carried from their home at No. 30o
Jefferson street, Hoboken, last Saturday.
Mrs. Hughes died yesterday, her final
breath trying to repeat the name of the
dead one.
Hughes contracted pneumonia three
weeks ago, and sank rapidly. His wife
had been failing with consumption for
more than year.
Hughes died last Wednesday in room
adjoining to where his wife was lying on
her death bed His death was kept from
her until the next day, when she caught
a glimpse of his coffin through the cur
tain which divided the rooms, and de-
manded to be told the truth.
She bore the news of his death calmly,
but sank rapidly afterward, and relatives
delayed the funeral of Hughes until the
last moment thinking both would be bur-
led at the same time.
Saturday morning Mrs. Hughes rallied
I temporarily, and it was decided to not
delay the funeral any longer. At the
last moment, she wept hysterically and
kept wailing that she wanted to JOIN
Hughes. Her friends could do nothing
to calm her.
Yesterday she asked to see her three
children, and told them she would Abe
with their father before night. She then
dismissed them. and called her husband s
name until she died

The chances for Cornell coming into
possession of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady STAN
toms brains are pretty slim after ALL
Mrs. Stanton's daughter refuses to give
up the brains of the family. She would
rather let them rest peacefully in their
grave than allow the grewsome operation
of disinterring them, and while Mrs.
Stanton actually did bequeath her brain,
after it had enlightened the world to Its
full and natural extent, to perpetuate
its usefulness to science. when under or
binary circumstances it should be use
less. However, to the bequest Is added
the clause which proves itinyalid:-
IF my near. relatives by blood or by
marriage object seriously to the fulfil
ment of this bequest it shall be void; but
I earnestly hope that they may interpose
neither objection nor obstacle. l ask
them to notify the proper person prompt-
ly of my death, if possible, even of its
near approach.
The bequest in itself is unique and
Mrs. Stanton evidently had no objection
to her Everlasting peace being broken
into pieces" for she Intellectually be-
queaths her intellect for scientific pur-
poses and for preservation as whole
or in part, as may be thought best"
Mrs. Stanton further states in her
ghastly bequest that she does this
|arecognizing the need of studying the
brains of educated and orderly persons
rather than those of the ignorant, Grim
inal or insane, in order to determine
their weight, form and issural pattern,
the correlations with bodily and mental
powers of various kind and degrees. and
the influences of sex; age and inheri-
lance"

much for propriety.

SUIT GROWS OUT OF STRIKE
E1-sherif Hssen Preparing Case Against
Rock Island in Behalf Of His Sen.
TAKEN TO CHICAGO TO REPLACE STRIKERS
when He Refused 20 work In Place of
Freight Handlers Company Re-
fuses Him TranspOrta-
tiOn Back Home.

John T.. Hazen Of Avoca, former sheriff
Of awattamie county, is having the
papers drawn for a damage suit against
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
road company. This suit arises from the
recent strike Of the freight handlers In
Chicago.
A son Of Mr.. Hazen. who Is a student at
Drake university, secured work for the
summer vacation with the concrete bridge
gang on the Rock Island near Avoca. When
the strike began In Chicago the Rock Is
land as we'll as other railroads affected
sent out acquisitions for men in their en-
ployment at different points to handle
their freight in Chicago. The boss OF the
gang with which young Hazen was work
ing was instructed to send into Chicago as
many men as he could possibly spare.
Young HAGEN and I'VE others were sent
into Chicago. but when they reached there
and learned that they were to take the
place of the striking freight handlers they
refused to work, stating that they were
not scabs.
The railroad, It is alleged. when the men
declined to go to work refused to furnish
them transportation back to Iowa and Hazen
and his six companions we're practically
stranded in the Windy City. Hazen had a
small sum OF money with him, which he
advanced to his FIVE companions as a grub
stake" and they succeeded in beating their
way back home. Young Hazen wrote to
the boss Of his gang at Avoca, asking him
to send him a pass but the bridge boss, al
though willing, was powerless to do so. as
the company refused to issue 1t when 1t
learned who Il was for.
When young Hazen's resources were ex-
hausted he decided to make his way home
as best he could and succeeded in doing so
after being put of several trains on which
he attempted to beat his way.
1t is alleged that Hazen and the other
men with him we're induced to 20 to Chi
gaco on misrepresentation. They allege
that when the bridge gang boss was in
structed to send them into Chicago they
were told they were wanted there on ac-
count OF several washouts on the line and
no intimation given that they were to take
the place Of striking freight handlers. Mr..
Hazen will base his suit for damages on
behalf Of his son. who is a minor, on those
grounds, and also on the grounds that he
was sent to Chicago without his 1.-THE
father's) permission being first obtained.
Mr.. Hazen has placed the suit In the
hands Of his attorney. who is now prepar-
ing the papers, but the amount which will
be sued for has not been stated. The
action, II is expected, will be filed In the
Pottawattamie district court at Avoca.
