death Of q farmers wife, whose spouse
had the means, if not the inclination.
for q swell funeral. She finally died
and in came the farmer, but it was
only the handles for the coffin he
wanted. as he had made the casket
himself at odd spells during his wife's
illness out of old pieces of lumber
about the farm. The undertaken inn
proved his only remaining chance by
fixing on four dollars as the price of u

Unconscious From Queer Accident.

For the past fortnight seven-year-
old Harry Smith has been lying in the
hospital, at Tacoma, unconscious. He
was injured last week by a blow on
the back of the neck, his mother find
ing him hanging out of low window
with his head and hands inside, the
sash resting across the back OF his
neck. He was unconscious and has
remained 80 ever since. 1t is believed
he was trying to climb through the
window when it suddenly fell on his
neck. The peculiar feature of the
case puzzling the physicians is that
while unconscious he is not paralyzed.
What little food he has taken has
been forced down his throat through d
tube. A later report says that he
is dead.

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE city has be-
gun its war on the Chicago Union Trac-
tlOu Company TO force it to come to
terms in the settlement of the contested
traction question. Mayor Harrison to
day sent an eviction notice to the trac-
ton company and the Chicago Passen-

streets, for which the Chicago Passen-
ger Railway franchise has expired.
The notice involves about ten miles Of
tracEage. some of ii being terminal lines
in the heart of the business section. En-
forcement of the edict means that sew
eral of the big trunk lines will have to
unload their patrons on the west side
a mile from the shopping center.
Following the issuance of the eviction
edict the mayor signed the council reso-
luton directing him TO advertise for
bids for the installation of a street rail-
way service in the territory of the eX-
pired franchise.
