long in use in France, of providing
small farms for it's employees. Lands
belonging to the corporation. and other
lands to be acquired, are to be used
for the purpose. They will be parceled
out among the employees having fami-
lies, giving profitable employment for
the latter in many cases. In France
the Northern Railway has located
5000 employees on farms. the Southern
Railway $500. the Eastern $500 and
the Orleans 5000. These companies are
in position to finance advantage
ously the purchase and free distribu-
ton of small tracts suitable for home
makers. Their scheme is considered a
great success, since it tends to con-
vert the employe into a conservative,
steady citizen and at the same time
increase the traffic of the railways.
Uncle Sam is quite a large employer
of labor. A government bulletin re-
Gently issued shows that during the
past year there were 271, 1913 persons
on the government payrolls. excepting
those holding elective offices. These
government employees include those
connected with the army, navy. dip
lomatic and consular services and the
courts as well as those in the ordinary
civil service in the various depart
ments. OF this number about $4,000,
or about one-half have obtained their
appointments under competitive condi-
tions. About $4,000 are excepted from
the competitive condition, being chiefly
the soldiers and sailors, and $4,000
more are outside the classified service,
being chiefly those holding appoint
ments in the small postoff1ces. The di-
rect appointments by the President
number about 5000.

CUT HIS THROAT
Was Discovered in Time Is Save
ELS sAif.;.

A man by the name of q. P.
Myers, who says his home is in
Quincy, Ill.,, attempted to end
his earthly career last night in
the city jail by cutting his
throat with a jack knife, but
was discovered in time to save
his life. For the past three
nights the man has been sleep
ing in the Jail, as he had no
money to pay for a bed. 1t
has been noticed that the man
wasn't just right in his head.
He went to the jail last night
about half past seven to 90 to
bed for the night, and was let
in by Night Marshal Wagon
er. About eight o'clock it was
discovered that he had cut a
cash in his throat about four
inches long, cutting the wind
pipe half in two. He was
bleeding like a stuck pig when
he was discovered. DR.. Tam
isiea was called and had the
man taken to mis- office, where
the wound was sewed up, and
the man was taken to DR.. Gas
sons hospital. When asked
why he did such a rash deed,
he said that he was to be hung
this morning and he wanted to
fool the fellows that were going
to hang him. He is a tall man,
rather medium build, and had
about three weeks growth of
beard on his face. He was
evidently a laborer as he was
dressed in common work day
clothes. Nothing could be
found on him to identify him
and all that is known of him is
what he told the Doctor, that
his name was Myers and his
home was in Quincy, Illinois.
He is getting along all right
this morning. The knife he
attempted to cut his throat
with was as dull as a saw, and
made a very rough cash in his
neck. When he was being fixed
up he told the doctor that if
the knife had been sharp he
would have saved him all that
trouble.

Important Ruling Is Made by the
Supreme Court.
Daily Capital.
] When the husband meets
death through the fault of an
other and damages are recov-
cred, the entire sum goes to the
widow and nona to the children,
according to a ruling of the SUI
prenle court handed down to-
day in a case appealed from
Council Bluffs, involving the es-
tate of Lucien Cook. Cook was
employed on a railroad and was
killed through the negligence
of the company. Settlement
was subsequently effected with
the widow, who was executor
of his will, by the terms of
which the company paid $4,000.
They had two children who
claimed that they were each en-
titled to one,third of the sum
recovered, the same as if it were
real property constituting a part
of the estate, and that the wild
ow was entitled to- but one
third.
The supreme court reversed
the trial court and holds that
the fact that Cook left a will in
which his personal property was
bequeathed to the wife leaves
no room to doubt that she was
entitled to all. 1t also intimates
very strongly that even in the
absence of such will, the DANA
ges accruing from ones death
become portion of his person
al assets and, as such, pass to
the widow and that children are
not entitled to the distributive
portion that is accorded them
in the case Of an ordinary es-
tate.

empts damages recovered for

the debts of tie deceased.

comforts, but held on to the
mince meat and got away with
it.
