CLEANLINESS OF GERMAN CARS
Body of Man Hangs for Month in
LRvRtOry before Being
Found.

BERLIN, March 11.-(Special Csblegram
to The Bee. )-Complaints regarding the
dirty and shabby manner I'm which railway
carriages appear on both tho railways in
Germany and Italy have been numerous
during the last year. An extraordinary
discovery just made in a railway coach
which arrived in Berlin as part of a train
from Saxony gives color TO some Of the
charges.
During the journey several people had
tried in vain 20 open the door OF a lavatory
at the end of the coach and before going
of duty the guard had IT forced. All were
startled to find the body OF a man almost
mummified hanging from coat hook.
From papers in the mans pocket 1t was
discovered that the body was that of a
Leipzig hotel keeper. His letters, papers
and railway ticket showed that he had re-
manned in that lavatory ut least a month
from the time that he had committed sui
eide while travelling from Berlin 10 Wit
tenberg. For nearly five weeks the body
had accompanied the coach on its Journeys
between Berlin and Saxony. and this fact
Is said TO speak volumes Tor the manner
in which German railway carriages are
cleaned.

horses stlll living. This gives rise to hope
that some OF the men are still living.
Replying to an inquiry as to whether
hope remained OF the finding Of more men
alive in the mine, engineer who had
been down the shaft said:
1T Is scarcely possible. The state of the
galleries Is such that clearing them will
be dif1cult task, while the flames were
so fierce that many Of tho victims must
have been reduced to ashes
II is thought hardly possible that many
bodies will be rescued tomorrow owing TO
the dlfficulty OF reaching the bottom pits,
the runners on which the cages descend
being broken or bent.
The engineers are endeavoring to devise
some means for locating the dangerous
zone in the mine and aerating the galleries.

ASHLAND PLANS TO CELEBRATE
FIftIeth Anniversary Of Settlement of
salt Creek valley.


Fiftieth Anniversary of Settlement of
salt Creek valley.
ASHLAND, Neb, March l0-(Special)-
movement has been started among the
citizens of Ashland and Saunders county to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary this
spring of the first settlement OF the county
and the immediate Salt Creek valley.
1t was just fifty years ago that the hrst
settler, Reuben warbrtton. accompanied
by his wife came out from Indiana, crossed
the Missouri at Pisttsmouth and pushed
on to Ashland, known then as Saline Ford.
The same summer Joseph Stambaugh, his
wife and three small children, with all their
earthly possessions in farm wagon, came
from Plattsmouth. and a little later John
Aughe came. These three men took claims
and that summer-lS56-broke the first
ground I'm Saunders county, with which
they built sod houses The houses of War
britton and Aughe were ten by twelve feet,
that Of Stambaugh seventeen feet square.
The next settler was Thomas X. Cham
berlin, who came in the spring of 1857. 9th
ers came the same summer among them
Archibald Wiggin, who threw up brush
dam across Salt creek Just above Saline
Ford He remained but "A short time and
his claim and interest fell into the hands
OF Dennis Dean. who came to Ashland In
1853 and built his well known mill the fol-
lowing year. The first business enterprise
was the general store OF Fuller & Moe in
1852 of which firm Mr.. A. h. Fuller still
lives in Ashland, where he has been promi-
nent in business and politics. Other set
tiers came rapidly after this and Salt creek
valley was soon filled with their homes.
number OF these early settlers and
many OF their children are living In this
county today. The local papers have taken
up the movement OF such an anniversary
and have called upon the Commercial club
to organize It and carry It through.
