oBITUARY

Edward Ladwig was born in Surkow.
Pomerania, Germany, September 11th,
1856. When he grew to manhood he
was drafted into the army, and entered
that service as teamster. In 1881 he
was united in marriage with Ernestine
Jamrow, who survives him. This union
was blessed with eight children, six sons
and two daughters, of whom three pre-
ceded their father to The Better Land.
He and his family came to America in
1891, and made his home at once on the
farm where the family still resides.
His story is like that of most immi-
grants. BY grim determination and
hard work he made living, and in a
comparatively short time he was the
possessor Of farm.
About five years ago his health be-
gan to fail. At intervals his mind also
seemed to be clouded. He grew worse.
and last September it was thought bsst
70 take him to the state hospital at
Independence. December 22 Of last
year, he was dismissed; clear Of mind
but ,. a helpless, paralyzed invalid. He
died July 22.
Deceased had lived a consistent life
as q member Of the German Lutheran
church. He was good neighber, a
faithful husband, a kind father an
honest man. Cut down in his prime.
his loss will be felt by his family and

that ever assembled at the state

Let ne write the record together
and see how it will look. You in
troduced in the senate a bill provid-

when you introduced it in the senate
touching the powers and duties of the
commission:
The powers and duties of such
commission shall include the regula-
ton OF rates, service and general con-
troll of common carriers as the legis-
lature shall provide by law,
This bill passed the senate and was
sent to the house. You say the house
took the same position am now taxi
ing and insisted that the powers of
the commission shauld be defined in
the amendment itself and therefore
amended your bill to read as follows.
And the commissioners shall have
power, in the absence of specific leeis-
latlon, to establish, modify and en-
force reasonable rates of charges for
the transportation of persons and
freight on the different railroads with
in the state, and prevent discrimina-
lions and abuses, and adjust and de-
termine controversies in respect to
transportation facilities, charges and
determinations. The legislature shall
provide by law the methods of en-.
forcing the findings of the state rail.

HER SKIRTS SAVED HER LIFE
A Girl Fell From Train, but Her
Dress Caught on a Brake Rod

Chicago-George Moe, Is years old.
was killed and Minnie Gurshke. II
years old, was severely injured in
an accident on the Atchison, Topeka
a. Santa Fe railroad at McCook. Ill.
Sunday night. When the train was
passing through McCook a break in
an air brake tube caused the separa-
ton OF the rear car from the main
body of the train Moe and Miss
Gurschke, who were standing on the
rear platform, were thrown to the
ground by the sudden lurch of the
train Moe was ground to pieces by
the wheels of the rear car and Miss
Gurschke was saved from death only
by her skirts catching on brake
beam. She was dragged for nearly
100 yards before the car could be
stopped.
The picnickers on the train said
that the train crew was responsible
for the accident and it was with much
difficulty they escaped the mob when
the train stopped at the station.
