repeating it, leaving juries a free hand.
1t is noticeable that as rule much
larger amounts are demanded for other
causes than for death For instance,
we find one New Yorker demanding
S20O,000 for the alienation of his wife's
affections and another contenting
himself with asking the paltry sum OF
500, 600. How can the value of wives
affection be measured in cold cash, ana
how can it be supposed to be worth 80
much more to one man than to an
other? The women agree much better
in their estimate Of the amount ade-
ouate to compensate them for the loss
of husbands affection. We find three
seeking to recover the sum of 100000
each.
One hundred thousand dollars seems
to he a popular sum to ask for. 1t -
a well-sounding and alluring amount.
a naturalized Austrian, who was com
nelied to do military duty when he went
hack to Austria for a visit, wants the
government to collect that amount for
him as damages; two women fix on the
same amount for injuries in street car
accidents. and an actress thinks her
self entitled to at least that for breach
of promise. It is hard to conjecture
what governs juries in such cases. One
widow is given $4,000 for the death OF
her husband, and another $101 ,0O0 the
Same Jury that fixed the latter amount
gave a Young woman $4,000 for the loss
Of her leg. Some of these verdicts
must be very much out OF the way.

manner to excite suspicion that he In
tended to take such a rash step.
Andy Under. jr-, the son. testified
along the same lines as his mother.
E. L. Under, brother-in-law. told
something of Linder's life and habits.
Some years ago he had been a hard
drinker, but lately had given up liquor.
A few weeks ago he had begun
drinking again and for this reason had
been refused admittance to a Swedish
insurance society. Iinder had been in
the habit lately of showing up at the
shops for work and when there was
nothing doing out there he would
spend the day wandering around Gem
trail park and in the fields near by.
When he returned home at hight he
would try to make his family believe
that he had been at work.
1t is all very strange, this death of
Andy Under, the Swedish Santa Fe
shopman. He had lived and worked
here for IT years. He left home Fri
day morning, acting and talking as he
usually did. He must have wandered
around carrying his dinner bucket
with him, all of Friday and Friday
contents of the dinner bucket, which
is very strange. He had only been in
the river a few hours when found
Saturday afternoon. There are no
marks of violence on his person that
would have caused death. He could
not have fallen into the river at the
point where his bucket was found,
nor jumped in with suicidal intent.
The course of the current and the
place where the body was found for
bid this superstition. So far as known
neither robbery or revenge or a quar-
rel have been the cause of his death.
1t is mysterious. The county attorney
is inclined to the belief that Under
met with foul play and he will in
vestigate the matter further in the
hope that some further evidence will
turn up or be discovered.
The funeral of Linder will be
held from the home at 211 Tyler
street, Tuesday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock.

EUROPE GROWS COLDER.
Temperature of the Continent Con-
stantly Becoming Lower.

Some months ago there appeared in
these columns some tables worked up
by Camille Flammarion to show changes
of a meteorological character which
seem to have taken place in Europe.
Writing again, he states that from act
ual figures obtained within the past
few years he has become certain that
the temperature Of Europe has been
falling. France has been suffering for
a long time from an excess of cold
weather the thermometrical readings
at Paris having been degree below the
normal height.
Other readings show even less favor
able results The fall is more noticeable
during the spring than during other
periods of the year. Similar phenomena
are recorded in Great Britain, Belgium.
Spain, Italy, Austria and Germany. In
