A new, unnamed disease has made
it's appearance and, though cures for
it have been established, it's nature is
not fully understood. 1t exists among
the Germans as well as among the

the German medical men also are

LACK TAKES STORE
OWNED BY WARWICK
Latter Is to Go Into Business at
Waterloo, Iowa, Septem.
Der First

The A. G. Lack Drug company
yesterday closed a deal with w. T.
Warwick, taking over his lease on
the store building adjacent to the
National Citizens bank, the lease
running for seven years, and the new
lessees taking possession last even
ing after six o'clock. The Lack Drug
company is to be congratulated on
securing such an excellent location
in the same block in which it is now
located, and the patrons of the store
will have no difficulty in finding it.
The George E. Brett company, which
owns the building in which the Lack
Drug store is now located, plans on
using the building for store pur-
poses as soon as the present lease
expires, and Mr.. Lack was very glad
to secure building in the same
block in order that his many patrons
could find his place easily. Mr.. Lack
stated at noon that he would continue
the book and art store at the War
wick stand with Miss Hattie Mobiles,
an experienced book and stationery
saleswoman, in charge, and will later
move his drug business to the build
ing and consolidate the two branches
of business.
w. r. Warwick stated this after
noon that he has operated his book
store for the past twenty years, and
was very well satisfied with Mankato.
Nothing but an exceptionally good
opening would have induced him to
oil hn ND hn
with regret. He has secured one OF
the best locations in Waterloo, Ia,
a city of about $4,000 people, and will
|operate high class book, stationery,
and art store. Mr.. Warwick will leave
on purchasing trip to the east the
latter part of this month, and plans
on opening his new store at Water
loo about September 1. His family
will go to Waterloo about that time
to make their home.

Was Working Between Two Cars
When the Locomotive Backed
Into Train
From Saturdays Daily.

Unmindful of the fact that the
switch of the side track where he was
working between two cars was open,
Nels G. Sandquist, car inspector and
repair man of the Omaha railroad,
was struck by one of the cars yes
terday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and
fatally injured. He was taken to the
Emmanuel hospital where he died last
evening ~
This distressing accident happened
near the Omaha round house, few
blocks south of the passenger depot.
Mr.. Sandquist was repairing some
bolts between the two cars. There
was quite train of cars on that side
track, but no engine. Why Mr.. Sand
quist did not observe that the switch
was open and that an engine was like
ly to back into that string of cars at
any moment is hard to understand.
His fellow employees are unanimous
in the belief that he must have been
thinking about something else.
Locomotive Bumped Train.
A locomotive bumped the end of
this train of cars to make coupling.
The next moment a cry from Mr..
Sandquist brought several men to the
spot. These included Ben Page, the
yard master; B. E. Larson, a switch
man, and others. The injured man
was examined and was found to have
a bad cash in the right side. DR.. j. w.
Andrews was called and Mr.. Sand
quist was taken to the Emmanuel hos
pital. He lived but a few hours aft
er his injury. -
Mr. Sandquist has been in the en-
ploy of the railroad company for
many years. He has borne an excel
lent reputation. He was sober, in
dustrious man. He and his wife and
their daughter, aged nine years, re-
side at 1903 North Broad street.
Conscious Almost to Last.
Mr.. Sandquist was conscious and
rational almost to the very last. He
had talk with Attorney Jean A..
Flittie and some say that Mr.. Sand
quist's will was made out, but this is
a mistake. His property consists
mainly of the dwelling and lot at
1903 North Broad street, where his
wife and child live.
Another who saw him shortly be-
fore he died was the pastor of his
church, Rev. o. J. Arthur of the Swed-

Say KohaIa Water Company Re-

Rental

As result of a petition sent to him
by tw"nty.nine homesteaders in the
Puucpa- Kokoih lands, Kohala district
Hawaii, W. II. Beers, county attorney
for the Big Island, is investigating a
charge that the Kohala Ditch Compa ny
refuses to sell water to the homestea
crs at reasonable rental. 1t is alleged
the homesteadcrs need the water for
domestic purposes.
The ditch company, IL is understood
has a fifty year lease from the Terri
tory for all running water in the dis.
trict, for which privilege it pays $4,000
a year. II supplies different planta.
tions, but the homesteaders say it de.

specifically requires it to sell to home.
steaders. at a rate as low as is charged
any other consumer using the water
for agricultural purposes. They alleg.
cd moreover, that the lease requires the
establishment of such rate by the com.
Pany with the approval of the land
commissioner, and that the land com.
misoner has never revised or reviewed
any such homesteaders rates.
Beers, who is in the locality now,
is expected to report his findings to
Land Commissioner Rivenburgh.
