WOMAN IS FOUND
DEAD IN YARDS
Evidently Crushed to Death Under
Wheels OF Train Several Hours
Earlier in Day.
HAD BEEN PICKING COAL
Mrs. julius Houyse is Victim of Acct
dent on Rock Island Tracks Near
Freight House.

Mrs, julius. Huuyse. 21301a Fourth
avenue, was struck and killed this
morning in the switch yards of th1
Rock Island road at the foot OF
Twenty-hrst street near the end vi
the Rock Island freight house. The
woman, who was about 30 or 40 yeas
sold, was in the yards gathering coal
and in some way she must have been
struck by a moving car and thrown
onto the track. The car which struck
her evidently passed over her right
shoulder as it was crushed and all
but severed from the body. There
were also a number of bruises showing
that she had been struck by the car
as well as run over.
MOI Found for Hours.
The accident happened some time ill
the morning and there were no wit
nsses to it AS far as is known. 1t was
about 2:f5 before the dead body was
discovered on the tracks and an I'M
dertaker was sent for at once and
the coroner was notified. The remains
were taken TO the Wheelan undertake
ing rooms, where the inquest will be
held.
The discovery of the body was made
by several of the men who are EN-
ployed in the yards. They reported
the matter to the police. From them
il was learned that the accident must
have occurred between 8 and 10 O'Clock
this morning, as car had been run
down on the track where she was
found about that time and none after
wards until the discovery was made.
The woman was missed at the place
where she made her home with her
husband and two children, and her
Disappearance was reported to the po'
lice, but little fears for her safety
were felt.

HORSEFELL; WOULDN'T GET UP
Animal Became Stubborn, But FINALLY
Got Over Its Spell.

A horse which pulls one of the de,
livery wagons of the Schroeder Bros
meat market, fell down ON Twentieth
street between Fifth and Sixth ave.
nues this morning and considerable
difficulty was experienced in getting
it on it's feet again. A loose shoe
caused it to fall. The animal refused
to attempt to get up and had to be
dragged out of the way of the cars
which were passing. After time
when persuasion and force had failed
to get it on its feet, it suddenly got
over its stubborn spell and got up
without any difficulty.

Postal Saving Banks.

1t is to be hoped that the dem
ocrats IN the senate and house will
assist in the passage of the meas
ure providing for the postal savings
bank. The democratic platform
gave a conditional endorsement to
this plan, declaring for it if the
guaranteed bank could not be Sc
cured, and as it is the only measure
that can possibly pass during the
next four years, the people ought
to be given the benefit of it. The
democrats ought endeavor to per-
feet the republican measure by such
amendments as NAV remove its OBJ
jectionable features. The deposit
limit, for instance, ought to be
raised so that larger number of
persons can take advantage of the
saving bank, and deposit larger
sums, and the community ought to
be protected by a provision COM
pelling the government to loan the
money to the banks nearest to the
place of deposit. No discrimina-
ton should be permitted as to
banks. The security ought to be
fixed and then all local banks, state
and national, be given their share
of deposits, proportioned accord
ing to capital stock.-Commoner.

SRlArT Grab.

The United States Senate has
passed bill increasing the presi-
dents salary from 100000 to
500, 10000 per year, and also
raising the salaries of vice presi.
dent and justices of the supreme
court. There seems to be some
doubt about the houses concurring
but it would be no surprise if it
should.
The increase of the presidents
salary, especially, is an outrage
on the American people. His sal
airy and perquisites now amounts
to about $2oo,oo per year, and he
has every comfort and luxury to be
desired. But it seems that the re-
publican party is determined to
maintain its record for increasing
public expenses and the public
debt.
One hundred thousand dollars
and living expenses per annum
is too much to pay any one man.
