tory Negligence.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora. June 2S.-The case of Pow
ers VS.. the Iowa Central railway. which
was recently reversed by the supreme
court, was originally tried in this
county. George Powers, the Plaintiff,
was driving a team across the COM
pany's tracks at Liscomb and was
leading another horse behind the
Wagon, when one of thu compan%'s
trains ian into the outfit. inJurinS
Powers to such an extent that he
claimed he was utterly unable to
perform manual labor, and sui, was
brought to recover damages.
The company set up in the lower
court the plea of contributory negl-
gence on the part of Powers because
he knew of the time of the trains ap-
proach and should have used every
precaution to avoid accident to himself
and things under his care. The jury
under Judge Lee found verdict for
the plaintiff, and now the supreme
court reverses this view and the case Is
renanded back for retrial.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON WOMAN.
Mrs. Isabelle Early, Of New Hartford,
Victim Of Two Brutes.

New Hartford, June 2s.-Mrs. lSa-
belle Early. % years old, was criminal
~ assaulted at $50 yesterday morning
in the yard at the farm nome
OF her parents, Ny. and Mrs ;
w. Griffith, two miles southwest OF
here. Being i'll, Mrs. Early left the
house and was Immediately seized by
two men. one short and heavy set and
the other tall and slender. One of her
assailants held his hands over her
mouth so that she could utter no out
CRY. She then was taken towards the
orchard, where one of the men forced
beer down her throat. The criminal
assault was committed afterwards.
1t is supposed that the strangers
were chicken thieves and happened TO
be near the house when Mrs. Early
emerged from the door.
The parents were asleep and did not
learn of the attack until after the
daughter returned to the house and
awakened them.
The sheriff was notified as soon as
possible, and hurried to the scene OF
the crime 1t is reported that one sus-
pect has been arrested. The officers
are working hard on the clews at hand
and hope to have the guilty parties

"Peaee of Mind" on Trains.


Peace of mind is one Of the most i'm
portant desiderata in traveling-as. in
deed, it is in working, studying Or any
serious occupation; and Mr. Slifer gen
eral manager Of the Chicago Great
Western, did the railway world
unique service when he put those words
in italics in the circular to employees
which he issued the other day and
which we reprinted in our last issue
(page 1850. We are all too ready to
rest in the assumption that, as some
people are bound to be worried or
foolish in any event, there is no use In
doing much to aid any one into bet
ter state Of mind. That is a mistake.
Merely TO offer to do something for a
passenger, regardless Of whether the
offer succeeds or the passenger appreci-
ates, greatly improves the social at
mosphere on a train Gf we may be
pardoned so scientific a term.) Every
body admires the brakeman who offers
to assist passengers, whether to seat
or drink of water or information not

quently to be too free with his advice
and to make other mistakes. We other
employees would do we'll to much often
| er initiate that kind of man-avoiding
his faults. of course. The other inn
portant feature Of Mr.. Slifer's circular
is the emphasis on the duty to help all
passengers and not alone those whom
1t is pleasant to deal with. One OF our
most luxurious trains is advertised as
! one which will promote peace OF mind
by the certainty that the passenger In
the sleeper will have a good nights
rest Another is put forth as rival Of
the best notes.-the Aston. the Savoy
and all the others rolled into one-in
its capacity to cater to every possible
want. But these trains. with their
extra fare, are only for the few. Who
will follow the c. G. W. IN making this
same attempt to please on all trains:
We do not mean that the c. G. w. is
! the only road now doing this: but its
! circular suggests that not all of the
ways Of stimulating alert courtesy have
yet been put into practice. The tnjunc-
! ton to despatchers, conductors and
agents to work together is point In
| the circular worthy Of particular at
tention. Why should not the different
classes be trained to stimulate each
| other? And the habit of being helpful
| to passengers can be exercised in many
situations without waiting for an oc-
casion when a train is behind time;
as. for example, when, because Of rain,
it is necessary to go thru some unusual
door or by some unusual path to get on
or off a train without getting wet; or
when. by showing passengers the right
place on the station platform from
which to board train, they can be
saved the annoyance Of going thru
three or four cars to find seats

Mr. Kimbark then notified the rail-

The freight handlers demanded on

Places Left Vacant Were Filled.
When the men walked out on May 4
their places were filled by men brought
from other cities. AS there was no in

strikers finally deemed it advisable to
return on the old basis rather than
continue to stay out. Many Of the men
were eligible for pensions. which they
will lose. All the railroads will adopt
