KILLED UNDER THE CARS
Cyurs D. Wilbern. Met Instant Death

Cyrus D. Wilbern one of the most
and highly respected CIT
liens Of Sibley met instant death
yesterday afternoon ut two o'clock
under. the wheels of a Rock Island
freight car. he had left the office.
Of the Harris Elevator 60. and start
ed up the side track toward the
Rock Island depot. About the time
he reached the wagon crossing an
engine and freight train came up
behind him. Hearing the. noise from
behind he stepped out of the way.
of this train and got over on the
main track just as second train
headed west was backing up. The
train Jon the main track had "kick-
ed" a car to run it in side track and
as he stepped inside the rails the
loose car struck him from behind,
two wheels passing over him just
below the groin. BE was showed
along distance of thirty or forty
feet and both legs we're frightfu)ly
mangled. The accidentt was witness
sed by Will Redmond and a brake.
man, who pulled him from under
the car after it had stopped. He
made two or three inarticulate cries,
gasped and died.
+ just how he came to be caught in
such a terrible manner is difficult to
explain, but it is presumed that he
was not aware of u second train be-
ing close. and the, noise Of the
engine on the side track covered the
stealthy approach OF the loose car on
the main line. Mr.. Wilbern was
the last person one would suspect OF
being the victim of such an acct.
dent. OF q careful, methodicat dis
position, and extreme alertness OF
body, the only conclusion is that he
was caught in q veritable trap,
formed by q most unfortunate COM
blnation of circumstances.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at. two O'Clock ut the
house, and the remains will be inter-
red in the Sibley cemerery. All
business houses will be closed from
80 to 8 100 o'clock.

THE HOSPITAL
lend Your Aid and One Will Be
Erected.

According to call, meeting was
held in G. A. R. Hall, Monday even
ing to promote the plan of erecting
a hospital. James Mackay was
elected chairman and Ned Jones
secretary and treasurer. Nearly all
the physicians we're present and ex-
pressed themse YES as being favora-
BILE to the project. Others present
expressed a desire to see a hospital
located in Worthington. A. COM
mittee of ten was appointed to inter
view the business men and others
to enduce them to attend a meeting
to be called ut a future date, or get
an expression from as many as pos
sible as to their attitude toward a
hospital.
The first question asked Is what
benefit will a hospital be to me or
to my business. No one feels the
necessity of a hospital until the
time comes when it will be con-
drcive to. their individual welfare
or that of near relative. No one
can clearly and definitely point out
the course a dollar will take when
taken from the pocket put into a
hospital increased to two and re-
turned to the same individuals
pocket. The dollar may pass thru
the pockets of q few people before
it returns to the one from whence
it came, but it will return ultimate
" in some increased form. TO have
a hospital here would mean that
people, to quite an extent, would
visit this town to see patients and
a person that visits town and does
not spend a nickel, figures pretty
close. With all Of our phyicians u.s.
ing the institution for such patients
az necessary, it would necessarily
bring quite q number Of visitors to
this place. AS it now We arr send
ing patients to other towns and
money with them, the town and
physicians getting the benefit while
Worthington and her phyicians
are the losers. A patient going to
another town is obliged to bear an
increased expense. If their case is
attended here their expense is less
and they are near friends. If pat
tents come here from q distance,
our phyician get the business, their
capital is increased and our town is
advertised and every citizen re-
ceives q benefit from some source.
No plan has besn outlined for:
erecting hospital, but 10 desired

Residents of Dayisville Or

Varied Interests of Y0lO
Special Dispatch to The Call

DAVISVILLE, April 1.-Davisville
is awakened along lines promotional
as she has never been before. Her
citizens are awake to the fact that a
great agricultural institution is to be
established in California, to be known
and designated as the University
Farm and for the use of the College
of Agriculture of the State of Califor-
MIA. They believe that Yolo is the fa-
vored county of this State so far as
location, soil and facilities are con-
cerned and they are also convinced
that of all of Yola County no section
can surpass Davisville.
With the idea of promoting the well
fare of Davisville and vicinity masst
meeting was held Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was called to or
der by B. b. Tuttle and the
purposes set forth. j. E. La
Rue of Davissille was selected chair
man and A. J. Blunt of Davisviiie sec
retary.
discussion of the feasibility of of
fering site for the agricultural farm
followed and M. v Sparks, wealthy
id1Q-nOiQer, OHeFeQ site ION the
farm.
A motion that committee of seven
be\ appointed to serve as a committee
on location of the agricultural farm
was unanimously adopted and the fol-
lowing named were appointed: c. w.
Pierce, chairman, with B. B. Tuttle,
G. K. Swingle, o. B. Wilbur, DR.. w.
E. Bates and the chairman and secre-
tary. A finance committee, as follows.
was next appointed: P. P. Smith, NJ.
V. Sparks and ]. w. Anderson.
A committee of five was also ap-
pointed to study and report on the
feasibility of the forming at Davis
vile of a permanent organization that
should have for its purpose the con-
tinual promotion of the welfare of
the town, possibly Board of Trade
or Chamber of Commerce. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that Davisville
was not organizing for the pur-
pose of fighting any other Sec
ton or sections of the coun-
ty, but on the contrary it was hoped
that all would be in accord for Yolo
County and that each section offer it's
site and that all sites be submitted to
the committee.

BALFOUR HIRES
YANKEE EXPERT
English Premier Follows Ex-
ample of King and Engages
Young American Chauffeur
Special Dispatch to The can

LONDON, April Following King
Edwards example, the Prime Minister,
A. ]. Balfour, has just engaged an
American chauffeur. The latter's
name is Walter Muller and he comes
from Jersey City. Muhler is 25 years
of age. He left the United States about
three months ago to visit his brother
in Berlin. who is in the German En-
peror's service as chauffeur. Learn
ing that Muller was at liberty, Balfour
communicated with him recently and
his engagement followed. Among
motormen here he is regarded as even
more expert driver than Oliver STAN
ton, who pilots the Kings car.
The Prime Minister is quite as much
an enthusiast in motoring as he is in
golfing, so young Muller will have
plenty to do. 1t is said that it was
on the recommendation of the King
that the Prime Minister sought an
American driver. He had tried men
of various nationalities, but found
them all wanting, or at least not up
to the standard of his requirements.

Lord Tredegar Does
Not Want Stone
Memorial.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April LIT is very seldom
of himself erected as a tribute of popu-
lar esteem. BY doing so Lord Tredegar
has acquired a claim to distinction that
is almost unique and has shown a
modesty that is more rare than the
courage he displayed when he rode
Into the jaws of death; into the mouth
of hell with the Six Hundred at
Balaklava.
South Wales takes great pride in
the fine old peer and a little while ago
proposed to present him with a ma
tional testimonial on the occasion Of
the anniversary of the gallant charge
which Tennyson has immortalized. But
when it was suggested that it should
take the form OF his own effigy he
protested He didn't want anything
that savored of self glorifcation.
When as Captain Godfrey Morgan
he returned from the Crimea-and
brought his famous charger Sir
Briggs" home with him as unscathed
as himself-he entered Parliament and
represented Brenock until the title de-
scended to him in 1875, compelling him
to Join the House of Lords. There he
has since represented all Wales.
A fine sportsman a scientific agri-
culturist, the kindliest of landlords
he owns 10000 acres-and a generous
contributor to wise philanthropy, he
has greatly endeared himself TO the
Welsh folk. To the world at large he
is known as the breezIest of charity
bazaar openers, always sprightly and
patriotic. but with perhaps an undue
tendency to regard Welsh as the
tongue of the angels He is "A years
old and despite innumerable tempta-
tions has remained a bachelor.
For the last five years he has been
Lord Lieutenant of Monmouthshire and
his seat in that county Is a fine old
red brick mansion designed by lingo
Jones and approached by magnificent
avenue of chestnut trees. His brother
and -presumptive is 20 and a bene-
dict with sons and grandsons to per-
petuate the Morgan name and cherish
the Morgan pedigree. This, it may be
said, goes back to the dawn of time
when the Morgans were Welsh kings.

COUNTESS OF SUFFOLK
COLLECTS ANTIQUES
Prefers 10 Patronize Small Dealers in
Out-of- the-Way Corners in
London.


LONDON. April l. Since the
Countess of Suffolk started house
keeping at the Earrs country seat. she
has become an enthusiastic collector of
antique furniture and old china. But
with her share of the Letter millions
she also seems TO have inherited a
goodly portion of her fathers shrewd-
ness and does not squander money
recklessly TO crafty her fad. Instead
OF purchasing at West End dealers
who charge exorbitant prices and re-
gard American peeresses as their Iez
gitimate prey provided for them By
bountiful providence, she prefers to
patronize the small fry dealers in
curios and antiques who abound in
London and are usually found hidden
away in narrow streets and alleys
where rents are cheap.
In this way she sees portions Of Lon
don of which most society folk know
as little as they do of the interior Of
Africa. Although she has donned a.
title. she makes it plain that she has
not abdicated the American girls
privilege of doing things in an uncon-
ventional fashion
