KILLING OF Cash AN ACCIDENT
COroner's Jury AbsOlves Railway
Employees from All
Blame.

The inquest held yesterday morning BY
Justice Carson, acting in the absence of
Coroner TTeynor, over the body of John u.
Cash, killed by a Rock Island passenger
train Sunday morning near the Union Pa
cihc Transfer depot. resulted in the jury
bringing In a verdict to the effect that
Cash's death was purely accidental. H.
J. Palmer, P. H. Petersen and T. A. Eaton
comprised the jury.
p. J. Cullitan and @. e. Davis, engineer
and fireman respectively of the train which
struck Cash, were the principal witnesses.
Their testimony showed that Cash was not
walking on the track, as first stated. but
in the pathway used by employees on the
north side Of the north track, with his
back to the train. Both the engineer and
nreman noticed him, but the engineers
view was shut off when the train was
about thirty-three feet from Cash. Fireman
Davis testified that at first he thought
Cash was far enough away from the track
to be out Of danger, but when the train
got closer to him he saw that the engine
would be likely to strike him and he at
once signaled the engineer to stop, and he
also shouted to Cash. The emergency
brake was applied, but It was too late.
A second before the engine struck him

him on the shoulder and threw him about

that the mans injuries consisted OF a
fracture Of the base Of the brain and q

Palm OIL Gives Color.

1.-THE oleo people are mighty clever"
said one Of the, officials of the internal
revenue ONCE, "and are taking advantage
OF every weakness In the bill by which
they can carry a point. They are con-
stantly reaching out for more and more,
and appear never to be satisfied. They
have found that palm oil, a product from
the southern islands, will give a fine, rich
color to cleo, and are trying to get us to
say that oleo SO colored is not subject 10
a tax. They argue that 1t should be ez-
empt because palm oil is a vegetable prod
uct, Just as cottonseed oil Is. The latter
is a constituent part Of butter, however,
and is hardly In the same class with palm
oil. We have not decided this point yet,
but will probably hold that oleo in which
palm oil is introduced will be taxed 10
cents, on the ground that It is used solely
for coloring purposes.
Another scheme that is being tried by
armour of Chicago permits the Individual
purchasers to color oleo so that It will de-
ceive the sharpest expert. With each pack
age Of the white product they furnish a
small capsule filled with a vegetable mat
ter. This is mixed thoroughly with the
oleo and turns it to the deep, rich golden
hue that distinguishes the pure farm pro-
uuCI- 1ne law peTmltS dTlluCdl cOloTallon
Of this kind, but when 1t is practiced by
any one for the purpose Of supplying other
than his family the usual tax must be paid.
This bars hotel proprietors from resorting
to the scheme. which is said to be practiced
by many families. The cleo law is one
of the most dificult to administer that has
come before this once for many years. 1t
is not clear on many points. and is open
to all sorts Of contradictions"
The internal revenue officials say that
there is a big supply OF oleomargarine
stored at the different warehouses Of the
principal manufacturers. All of this stun
was put up before July 1, when the law
went into effect, and accordingly escaped
the 10 cent tax. 1t is estimated that this
reserve stock will hold out for two or three
months yet, and by the time It is exhausted
the oleo makers will probably have hit
upon some scheme that will permit them
to continue the product on sale without
increasing the cost to the consumers.

May Run short Line Into Des Moines

IOWA FALLS, Ia. July 21.-(Special.)-
The Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern
road may be paralleled by an independent
line from Cambridge on the Chicago, Min
neapolis & st, Paul into Des Moines. This
project is the outgrowth Of some differ
ences between the above road and the
WhitebreAst Fuel company. which owns
some large coal properties in Polk county.
The trouble Is the outgrowth Of the terms
for right-of-way over the coal company's
land and the charges the railroad COM
pany would make for hauling and switch
ing the fuel ~company's products. The
newly-projected line, IL built, Will be
eighteen miles long and will be operated
merely as a coal road, not handling regu-
lar trafic.

was any foundation for the report. He had
not heard that the company contemplated
any such thing. as the Communication books
had proved a large source of revenue for
