Man Present Said Death Came In
Few MInute-Body Brought to
City for Autopsy Today and In.
quest by Coroner Tomorrow.

ty Attorney Corlett Downey returned
at 2:80 this afternoon from Harper,
bringing the body Of E. H. Miller, the
16-year-old son Of G. P. Miller, section
foreman at Harper, who died yester-
day afternoon, after having fallen in a
faint about noon. The body was de-
livered to Undertaken Amberg of the
Stryker company and taken to the
morgue, where an autopsy is being
held to determine the cause of death.
Physician Found Him Dead.
AS stated in The Republican yester-
day afternoon. young Miller, who had
been out with his father at work on
the section. stepped from a handcar
as it stopped at Harper, walked 4 few
feet, sat down on the side Of the track
and Immediately lapsed into a faint,
from which he did moi Dr..
McCollum was summoned by telegram
from Rock River, q man having been
sent to that station or purpose, while
the father boarded a train for this
city. returning with the physician.
The latter found the young man dead
when he arrived. he having cied sev-
eral hours before the arrival of DR..
McCollum.
Lived But Few Minutes.
Mr.. Hastings Of the signal service
on the Union Pacific, who a present
when the young man fell over back
wards, says he lived but a few minutes,
having been unconscious and speech
less all the time. He went to the help
of the men with the section foreman,
but young Miller gave a gasp or two
and passed away.
Found Bruises on Back.
DR.. McCollum made a hasty exam
nation Of the body and found some
bruises between the shoulders. 1t was
stated by the section men that the
handle Of the handcar had struck him
in the back Just as he left the car, and
that theory was investigated also by
the county officers today. The au-
topsy is expected to show whatever
injuries were sustained and the In.
quest tomorrow is looked to bring
out the cause Of the injuries. The
father came with the body this after
noon and is now In the city.
Was In Good Health.
DR.. McCollum was able to CLEAN that,
although the young man WAS but is
years Of age, he had been working on
the section for five months and had
met the requirements Of the officials
Of the road. He was in excellent
health during the forenoon, as far as
could be learned, and whatever caused
his death acted In a short space Of
time. The body was considerably
bloated today and the bruises on the
young mans back showed quite dis
tinctly. There was an intimation of
foul play, but the fact that six men
were in the party renders the posi-
bility Of murder somewhat remote.
Inquest Tomorrow.
Dr.. Ballard has summoned q jury and
there will be several witnesses from
the scene Of the accident. The inquest
will probably be held tomorrow fore,
noon The jury consists OF G. 8. Green

A Verdict for $5OOO.OO

Samuel Griffin, attorney for Arthur
Modlin, returned home from Hastings,
Nebraska, on Sunday. The damage
suit resulted in a verdict for $5,00O.OO
for MIR. Modlin. Suit was brought for
$25.O0O.O0.
This is pretty good, but the verdict
was not quite large enough to justify Mr..
Griffin in coming home in an automobile.
MIR. Modlin, as Stated three weeks
ago, was former Barber county boy.
He was working in hardware store at
Hastings and was crippled for life in a
detective and falling elevator. He can
get around with difficulty with the use Of
crutches. The verdict. if extreme in ei-
ther direction, is too low.
The defense has given notice Of an
appeal to the supreme court.
MIR. Griffin says it was an exception
ally hard fought case. The defense was
represented by the oldest and ablest law
firm in that part Of Nebraska and he and
his associate counsel had also the disad-
vantage In having a stranger for client
while the owner Of the elevator has lived
in Hastings twenty-five years.
Mr.. Griffin thinks there is no doubt oI
winning in the higher court.

Burned by Phosphorus

Howard Cain, relative Of the Bar
nett brothers on Cedar Creek 10 miles
west Of this city, was badly burned about
the face and neck while experimenting
with phosphorus and oil Of cinnamon last
Friday. He was brought to town as
quickly as possible and DR.. Coleman
treated his injuries.
MIR. Cain and others were expert
menting on new recipe they had found.
They mixed phosphorus and oil Of Gin
namon in the hope Of securing lumi-
nous substance, but in the. experiment
there was an explosion and the flames
struck Mr.. Cain on the side Of the head,
face and neck. He suffered very intense
ly for several hours but his present con-
dition is favorable for recovery without
sustaining any permanent injury.

Kansas on the hog

Secretary Coburn's discourse on Kan
sas, The Hogs Happy Habitat is one
Of the best Of his numerous documents.
1t is herewith reproduced by special re-
quest:
1t was well said by former cabinet
minister that in the American hog we
have an automatic, combined machine for
reducing bulk in corn and enhancing its
value. That he is a mint, and the corn
Of our common country the bullion he
transmutes into golden coin.
In Kansas he finds the favored zone
his El Dorado-and here he always
makes both ends meat; for Kansas is a
com orchard parked with grasses and
fragrant with the bloom Of alfalfa, the
greatest forage plant vouchsafed by Prov
idence to men; growing here in a pro-
fusion elsewhere unknown. Hence it is
that Kansas possesses more Of these lat
est model seH-lubricating mortgage-remov-
ers than all New England and fifteen
other States and territories added.
Uncle Sam, our foremost connoisseur
Of pork. but with no especial partiaEty
for Kansas. recorded in a report for jan
uary Of this year 1907 that the Kansas
hogs are worth per capiter' 5 per cent
more than the Missouri hog; 36per cent
more than the Kentncky hog; Sc per
cent more than his Virginia compatiot;
81 per cent more than the Arkansas
hog. and ! 46 per cent more than Flor
da's favorites.
There is probably no other territory
OF the same area as kansa. where the
conditions Of climate, soil. food and care
are more consenial to the hogs health
and wholesome development, and he is
nowhere found so developed except
among and by high order Of people.
High-class swine are unknown and i'm
possible among low-class people.
Kansas swine, coinage of Kansas
grass, grain and brain, in the world-arena
at Chicago and then at St. Louis met the
world-beaters and beat them. She has
given Poland China, Chester county,
Berkshire and New Jersey a thousand
years the lead and easily distanced the
namesakes Of all.
The Kansas hog. in his sphere typi-
Tying the good, the true and the beauti-
tul, is JOY even to the Hebrew and
like the state that lends him as a solace
to humanity is in but the morning of his
career. His one passport. everywhere
demanded and always sufficient for enhee
to presidents, potentates or peasant, Is
Kansas on the rind."
