CONDUCTOR KILLED
Falls From Train and Fractures
His Skull

Fatally injured by falling off a
freight car at Kenyon, Mimi, yester-
day morning. Chauncey w. Stivers, a
conductor employed by the Chicago
Great Western was placed on spe-
cial train and hurried to st. Paul by
orders from headquarters, but he died
before he reached this city. When the
train arrived at the West side depot
physician went on board to attend
him, but found that death had won
the race.
Stiyers, according to reports from the
railroad employees. was on top of a box
car being pulled into coal shed when
the coupling burst and the car sud-
denly started down an incline, throw
ing him from his feet. He fell to the
ground. striking upon his head. His
skull was, fractured and he suffered
other injuries.
He was given attention by a local
physician. who ordered him removed
to hospital. He was then placed on
a special train and it was given orders
to run with all speed to st. Paul. He
grew worse as the train approached
st. Paul, however, and when it reached
the city he was dead.
Deputy Coroner Whitcomb viewed
the body and it was removed to the
undertaking rooms of Hurley & Tier
ney, South Robert street. Stivers was
married and had one child. He was
twenty-six years old, and lived with
his family at 229 East Robie street.

DRAINAGE ENGINEER
FILES HIS REPORT
Tells of Work and Expense of
Construction During the
Past Year

Practically 100000. has been ex-
pended by the state drainage board
since it's creation in 1900 in contracts
for state bitches, engineering expenses
and other work. The annual report of
George A. Ralph, Crookston, state
drainage engineer, filed with the gov
ernor yesterday, shows $81, ,546.03 ex-
pended in drainage contracts for the
years 1901, 1902, 1908 and 1904.
During the year 1904 the commission
paid in contracts $21,561.29. The Grand
MaraiS, Metz, Shotley Brook, Bemidji
and Gun Lake bitches were completed
during the year, with extensions to the
Morken ditch, the New Solum second
extension and the Wild Rice river cut
off almost completed.
Abandons One Ditch
The Tamarac ditch was abandoned
when partially built, being found not
feasible, and the contractor was paid
$125 for his work. There Is a balance
at the disposal of the commission of
$7,276.S4.
The engineering expenses of the
commissioner are shown to be less than
9 per cent of the whole expenditure by
the commission. The bitches, the re-
to 100 miles from the nearest railroad
point, and the cost of engineering, SUI
perintendency and final inspection. is
proportionately larger than other work
closer to civilization.
Itjs admitted that the price paid for
excavation is higher than paid by the
Red River Valley Drainage commits
sion, which the state drainage COM
mission succeeded, but it is pointed out
that the old commission gave its con-
tracts during a time of financial de-
preston and low wages.
1t is contended that the prices for
excavation recently paid are as low or
lower than paid for similar work by
county or local authorities. The drain
age commission consists of the gov
ernor, state treasurer and secretary Of
state

Absolutely Free
A Dollar Heart. Remedy

The heart itself has no more self con-
troll than common sponge. 1t is made to
beat by a tender nerve so tiny that it is
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Yet
ten thousand times day this delicate
nerve must cause the heart to expand and
contract.
The heart is about the size of your
clenched fist. Open and close your fist a
dozen times, even, and you will see the
monstrous labor this little nerve must do.
The heart nerve is only one of the
branches of the great sympathetic ner-
Vous system. Each branch of this sys-
tenn is so closely allied with the others
that weakness or irregularity at any point
is apt to spread. Heart trouble frequent
ly arises from Stomach trouble through
sympathy and Kidney trouble may also
follow. For each of these organs is op-
Grated by q branch of these same SYM
pathetic nerYeS-the inside nerves.
The bond of sympathy between the
nerves that operate the vital organs has
a useful purpose, as well. For what will
cure weakness in one branch will surely
cure weakness in every bFanch-What will
restore one center, will surely restore
them all.
There is nothing new about this
nothing any physician would dispute.
But it remained for DR.. Shoop to apply
this knowledge-to put it to practical use
Dr. Shoop's Restorative is the result of a
quarter century of endeavor along this
very line. 1t does not dose the organ or
deaden the pain-but it does go at once
TO the nerve-the inside nerve-the power
nerve-and builds it up, and strengthens
il and makes it well.

OHACE HOT AFTER
O'BRIEN ORDINANCE
Health Commissioner Deter
mined to Kill Amendment
to Smoke Law

Health Commissioners Ohage is max
ing an active crusade against the pas
sage by the board of aldermen of As
semblyman O'Brien's amendment to
the smoke ordinance, and he believes
that he will be successful at the Tues
day session of the aldermen.
MY statement before the assembly
that I will discharge the smoke in
spector and cease all prosecutions If
the O'Brien amendment is passed, was
no idle boast" said DR.. Ohage. 1T
would be useless to attempt the en-
forcement of the ordinance with the
O'Brien amendment attached. All the
agitation in favor of cleanly and
healthy city would come to naught,
and the chimneys and smokestacks
could smoke from morning until night
without molestation.
"Mr. O'Brien says that his amend
ment would not kill the smoke ordi-
nance. / know that 1t would do SO,
no matter what is Mr.. O'Brien's belief
It is. difficult to secure convictions un-
der the ordinance as it stands, when
the emission of dense smoke at any
time is a violation of the ordinance.
What would 1t be if the chimney must
smoke for half an hour continuously
before a complaint can be filed? 1t
would always be question of just how
long dense smoke was emitted contin-
uously. Convictions would be rare in
deed.
'Tt is the contention of Mr.. O'Brien
that he desires to amend the ordinance
so that business men will not be ar
rested for making smoke while starting
their fires in the morning and re-
kindling them during the day. No ar
rest has ever been made for violation
of the ordinance during the hours when
fires are started, and / defy Mr..
O'Brien to show one instance where
such was the case. Only chronic Of
tenders are arrested, and they are
warned before a warrant is taken out.
There is nothing unreasonable
about the present ordinance. The
freedom of the city from black, sooty
smoke is one of st. Paul,s best adj
vertisements. Instead of driving per-
sons away it encourages those who are
looking for a clean and healthy city
to locate here. I have received many
letters from persons living in other
cities asking if it would be possible for
them to make a living. in ST. Paul.
"If the O'Brien amendment to the
smoke ordinance is passed st. Paul will
be compelled to bid goodby to its rep
utation of being the healthieSt city in
the world. And is all this to be sac
rificed in the interest of about thirty
persons who allow their chimneys to
smoke? do not believe that the people
will indorse such a plan, having rea-
son to expect that they will uphold the
crusade have made against the smoke
nuisance"

LOCHREN ORDERS A
VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT
United States Judge Rejects the cava-
naugh Damage Suit

verdict for the defendant was di-
rected yesterday afternoon by Judge
Loehren of the United States circuit
court in the case of Michael Cava-
naugh, as administrator of Thomas
Cavanaugh, against the Chicago Great
Western Railway company.
The testimony was finished yesterday
morning and the verdict was ordered
when court reeonvened.
Michael Cavanaugh sued to recover
$4,000 for the death of Thomas Cava-
naugh, who was killed in collision at
Deyersville, Iowa, Feb. 25, 1904, while
riding in a Chicago Great Western
caboose.
The court held that, in the circum-
stances, Thomas Cavanaugh was not
legally passenger and that his death,
through collision, did not impose the
same liability upon the railway COM
pany as the death of a passenger
might perhaps have imposed.
