The village of Benton, Neb., has de-
cided to move. This does not mean the
Inhabitants alone. The buildings,
houses and stores, besides all the per-
sonal effects, will float down the Platte
river for three miles. Benton was
built on it's present site many years
ago with the expectation that when
railroad came that way it would pass
through the town. Finally, when a
railroad did come it was found inn
practicable to go nearer than three
miles. and as compensation the
officials of the Union PACING ROAD
offered inducements to the people OF
Benton to move. This was accepted.

CHILD'S LIFE EBBS AWAY
INFANT IN FAMILY OF H A. KNOOP
HAD NO MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Parents Informed Deputy Coroner
Gels that They Are Christian Sci.
entists and Believe I'm Prayer.

In investigating the report of a death In
the family of III. A. Knoop, at 52S Downey
street, Deputy Coroner Gels came across
startling state of affairs which. IL the
investigation substantiates statements
made to the deputy coroner, will be made
the basis for prosecution by the proper au-
thorities
DR.. Gels was informed that a child had
died in the Knoop family yesterday after
noon. The doctor visited the house to ex-
anime the body and found a two-weeks-old
infant newly dead. In the house was a
crowd of friends of the family who made
no secret of the fact that the child had re-
ceived medical attention.
I'VE are Christian scientists" one of the
friends OF the family told DIR. Gels. 1--WE
did not think there was any necessity for
calling in a physician, and we deemed
upon our prayers to save the child's life
DR.. Gels questioned the father and the
mother who are young people both under
thirty and apparently in well-to-do circum-
stances. He says that both acknowledged
that no doctor had been called and that
little had been done to save the child's life
except to depend upon the efficacy of
prayer.
The deputy coroner did not learn the ma
ture of the illness that caused the DEATH
He will order an investigation to be made
to-day. IF the facts brought out justify
my suspicious and the statements that have
been made TO me-" he said. II am going to
have these people into court Ii is out
rageous that babe should be permitted to
breath out its life for want of proper
medical attention" The doctor saws he will
put the case at once into the hands of
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus.

CALL To THE LEGISLATURE
ASKED TO GRANT CITY AUTHORITY
FOR GRADE-CROssING RELIEF.
Commercial Club Directors Unani-
rnousIy Adopt a ResoIution-The
south Sides View.

The subject OF track elevation was before
the Commercial Club directors at the regu-
lar meeting yesterday, and, after hearing
statements by William Fortune and others
regarding the status of the matter. the fol-
lowing resolution was presented and unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved. That 1T Is the sense of this
board that the Legislature be urged TO
grant to the city OF Indianapolis ample au-
thority necessary to secure relief from evils
or railroads at grade.
When Mr.. Fortune concluded his remarks
about track elevation Mr.. Schaf asked IL
the commission had In any way considered
the proposition that the Chicago division Of
the Big Four road use the canal bed for
its tracks and dispense with the present
surface tracks. Mr.. Schaf said he under
stood the scheme to be TO depress the canal
bed several feet and convert ii into a road
bed for the Big -Four Company to be used
Tor freight trains. The road could then
easily be bridged at all crossings. Mr.. For
tune replied that he had heard of the
scheme, but that the commission had not
considered Ii, as IL was said the depressed
tracks would be used for freight, while
there would have TO be elevated tracks for
passenger trains.
