The place where Eugene Schwartz
was drowned yesterday is known as a

foot of Richmond avenue just below the
outlet of the sewer. For distance of
about fourteen feet the water is shall

there is sudden depth that Is most

Tired and worn out, after a days
sight seeing in the Orchard city, the
employees of John Morrell & Co.,
Ltd, arrived home last evening in
three excursion trains from their
twelfth annual outing. The trains ar
rived about a half hour apart and the
large crowd of picnickers aboard of
each disembarked, all declaring they
had experienced most enjoyable day.
Nothing but words of praise could be
heard on every side among the excur-
sionists, of the treatment the people of
Burlington extended to them while in
that city. What with the many places
Of amusement, the points of interest
to be viewed, and the trips up the Mis-

tended the outing felt it day well

'From wednesdays Dairy.

From Wednesdays Dairy.
Eugene Schwartz, the ten-year-old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Schwartz,
112 North Davis street, was drowned
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the Des Moines river at the foot Of
Richmond avenue, while wading with
party of boys.
It is supposed that in his
eagerness to find clam shells,
Eugene waded beyond his depth and
In an instant he was borne away by
the swift current and drowned. The
other boys ran for assistance and no
titled the men at the South Side fire
station. Fireman c. L. Davis was
among the first to arrive on the scene,
and with the assistance of Fred Nc
Clusky and Ross Steinhoff, he took a
boat and began to drag the river. Their
efforts were rewarded by finding the
body, but when recovered the lad had
been under the water for an hour, and
1t was too late for any hopes Of restor-
ing life. The body was found in eight
feet Of water about 200 feet from
where it had been carried away.

der which was kept while en- route to
and from Burlington, caused all who
were in attendance to feel that 1t was
the finest outing of them all.
A feature of the picnic was the ex-
cellent order throughout the whole
days proceedings at Burlington, and
as far as can be learned not a single
accident happened during the day.
BurIineton's Idea Of It.
The following is a clipping from this
mornings Burlington Hawkeye which
gives the story of the day:
Employees Of the Morrell Packing
Co. of Ottumwa, and their families and
friends, numbering close to two thous-
and people, invaded Burlington yester-
day morning and enjoyed themselves
here during the day 1t was their
twelfth annual outing. Their visit had
long been anticipated by Burlington
people, and all united in extending
them a cordial welcome. From express
sions heard on every side. 1t was evil
dent that they were well pleased with
the city, and appreciated what had
been done to make their visit pleas
ant one.
"Three trains. with thirty-four pas
senger coaches, brought the visitors to
the city. The first, arriving about $3.50,
was crowded The second, coming IN
about half an hour later, did not bring
more than three hundred passengers.
The first two cars belonged to the Nor
rell company and were well loaded
with provisions to feed the crowds dur
ing the dav. About 10 o'clock the
third and last train arrived, bringing
perhaps five hundred people. Upon
their arrival, most Of the people Went
Immediately to Grape park, but later
visited other parts of the city. one
curious feature was the rapidity with
which the people disappeared from the
depot after the arrival of each train.

.eThe celebration plans which had
been made to welcome the visitors
were not carried out Mayor inter
kircher, who was out of town, arrang'
ed for Mayor Pro TEN Burhans to
read his speech Of welcome, but 1t was
impossible to get the people together
at any time and this part of the pro
gram was abandoned. There was
general regret that 7. D. Foster
of Ottumwa, manager of the plant
could not be present.

afternoon and the ice cream and lem
onade stands did good business. A
big tent had been erected south OF the
Coliseum, and proved very welcome
protection against the hot rays OF the
sun, and a very pleasant resting place.
Probably the source of the most
enjoyment to the great majority OF the
crowd were the boat rides. There were
many who had never ridden on
steamer, and they we're given every
opportunity yesterday to enjoy this ex-
perience. The steamer w. w. made
regular trips from the foot of the bluff
at the park to the Jefferson street
landing. Hundreds took the ride dur.
ing the afternoon, and the only CON-
plant was That it was too short. The
management of the boat cleared nice
sum on the days work.
Sights Were New.
'tThe crowd was not as large as was
expected There are a number of rea.
sons for this. 1t was the first time the
Morrell employees had gone so far
from home on an outing, and the ex.
pense was consequently greater One
man said that an employe receiving
only an average salary could not at
i ford to take his family and pay $1.75
for each member. AS result many OF
the employees did not come at all. But
despite the fact that the crowd was
smaller than on former occasions, all
had good time Burlington was a
new city to hundreds of them, and they
took pleasure in seeing it. Moreover
Wherever an excursionist went he was
received with courtesy by Burlington
people, and this made a very favorable
impression upon the visitors.

HE HAD NO CARE.

In an old corner of Boston where many races mingle polite little Jap anese artist has his studio, and paints lamp shades and screens for his mer- chant fellow countrymen. On the Monday of Admiral Togo's victory he was excitedly discussing the event with an American customer when the door opened and red-bearded Rus sian peddler entered with a bulging satchel.
 "Haw exclaimed the intruder, III a big voice. You buy today? Yes? Shoestring? Knife? Shawl?'
 "No! No! No" cried the "Jap," excitedly. You go out. You go out l buy nothing to-day. Togo-he whip take all-capture Russian-I make no trade with you"
 "Ahaw exclaimed the Russian again, his face lighting up with a new inter- est. You Japan" He pointed lean finger accusingly at the Jap. q Rus sian! You no make trade with me make fight with me? YesW
 Yes, make fight with you," agreed the Jap; but before he could do so the Russian had already burst into a gen. ial laugh.
 "Poofw he said, making great sound. Russia! What care I? Rus sia I not care anything come away. In America 1 have gladness that Russia is capture" He held out his pack toward the Jap ingratiatingly. "Now you make trade with me? Yes?'
 The Jap glared at him scornfully then turned to the American with a deprecatory gesture.
 "Such we fightw he exclaimed "No good at all. How can he be any good who has not care for his country?"
 Certainly no one has accused the islanders of lacking that care-but it may be that for a better country, CT rather a better government, Ivan, too, might have developed patriotism.- Youths Companion.

When the Boss Takes It Easy.

Conducting a business is like rolling huge boulder up hill. The moment you cease to push it, the moment you take your shoulder from it and think you will rest and take it easy, the boul- der begins to crowd back upon you, and, if you are not careful, it will either run over and crush you, or get away from you altogether and go to the bottom with a crash. It is neces- sary to be everlastingly pushing, fol- lowing up the boulder, keeping it go- ing, in order to get it to the top of the hill
 One of the greatest dangers of early prosperity in any line is tendency to relax effort. Many man ceases to grow when his salary is raised, or when he is advanced to a higher posi- tion. Many a business man, after he has built up a large business, ceases to exert himself and the moment he pauses in his campaign of pushing and struggling, the moment he begins to relax in giving his close personal at tention, his business ceases to advance, and fatal dry-rot sets in-one of the worst diseases that can seize on any individual or concern.
 The man who attempts to run business, large or small, must keep his finger constantly on its pulse, in >rder to detect any rise or fall of tenn perature, any irregularity, or any jar in the machinery. When the head of a firm is trying to take it easy, there is usually trouble mewhere.-Success Magazine.

Une-Sided View.

When Maggie, a recent arrival from over the sea, had finished cleaning the windows, her mistress was amazed to discover that they had been washed upon the inside only. She inquired the reason for this half-completed task, thinking that, perhaps, the girl was afraid to sit outside the windows. Mag gie's reply was delivered with fine con- cern: e..
 T claned 'em inside so's we could look out, mum; but I lift the dirt on the outside so the people couldn't look in."-Harper's Weekly.

The Empire of Dollars.

Wall Street is the capital of the Elm pire of Dollars. Like all other capi- tals, it has it's intrigues, its favorites, its duels, its cabals, and it's camaril- las; and, like all other capitals, it gives its color to those who spend their lives there. It has even a sort of pa- triotism-"wolf honor"-which brings it's citizens together, at times, in de- fense of the dollar and of property rights.
 The Empire of Dollars is not alto gether a noble spectacle. We are not thrilled at the mere thought of those Venice bankers who financed" the Crusades. We do not like to think of those Wall Street manipulators who tried to corner the gold supply during our Civil War, when the nation needed gold.-Success Magazine.

Fish that Change Color.

Among the curious observations made by students at the Bermuda Bio- logical Station is that some of the in habitants of the water there are able to initiate the color of the rocks and reefs among which they swim. The common fish called the grouper pos sess this power. It's chromatic varia- bility runs through a considerable range of colors. A specimen of the octopus vulgaris, after jerking an oar from the hand of an inquisitive nat uralist, escaped pursuit by it's ability to initiate the exact shade of any brown or gray neck on which it rest ed.

NO CROWDED CARS THERE.
Britons Will Not Tolerate the The cOnveniences So Universal Here.


 American laws have less regard for private rights than the British enact ments, or Englishmen are more dis posed to assert their individual rights when assailed than Americans are. The overcrowding of public convey ances is practiced in this country to an extent that is rarely tolerated abroad. Our railroad and street rail way companies should be obliged t provide accommodations for traffic ac- cording to eXigencies which may be expected. The number of passengers that steamboat may carry within the limits of safety is carefully regu- lated by law, but in land transporta- tion the excessive crowding of pas sengers is common grievance.
 On some of the tramway lines run ming from London to popular subur- ban resorts passengers are kept in line by strong police force, and when a car is comfortably filled it moves off and others are drawn up to receive the overflow. It is a mere matter of a suf1iciency of cars to accommodate the traffic which the company knows will be heavy. In other cases pas sengers are required to purchase tickets admitting them to numbered seat in the tram cars and in this way all passengers secure accommodations These methods would probably be too slow for the American, who desires to "get there" quickly.
 Recently the North London Railway was fined for the false Imprisonment of a passenger who, having declined to surrender his ticket as a protest against overcrowding, was arrested by the cOmpany's officials. The company appealed from the magistrates dec- sion, but afterward abandoned the appeal. London Truth remarks in mo- ticing the incident that cases in which an individual is suing a railway con- pany "are usually fought out to tn bitter end-even to the house of lords as a Encouragement to other poten- tial plaintiffs" The presumption is that passenger who refuses to sur render railway ticket as. protest against overcrowding cannot be irsal- ly detained in England.
 It would be going too far to say that such is the law here. If it were, rail road and street railway companies which pack humans more closely than cattle are herded in stock cars would be overwhelmed with damage suits. if passengers stood on their rights as the Englishman did. The rush to secure not seat, but a precarious foothold on street car at certain hours and certain points in Americans cities is an adventure, an astonishing spectacle, to those who have been accustomed to the more orderly procedure in coun- tries where the comfort and convent ence, possibly the life or limb. of th, passengers are not sacrificed to cor porate mismanagement or greed Philadelphia Ledger.
