were In a precarious condition, but medi
cal attention saved their lives.
The strangers registered at the hotel
Sunday. night about 11 o'clock. There
was no indication of verdure about their
appearance, and it was deemed unneces
sary to warn them about blowing out the
gas. This* however, Anderson said yes
terday, he did do when he and his com
panion retired, explaining that he was
unfamiliar with gas jets.
Fortunately the window of their room
was open or Droud and Anderson would
have been dead before their plight was
discovered. The smell of escaping «as
attracted attention shortly before 7
o'clock and was located in the strangers'
room. The door was forced open and the

DOUBT THE WILL.
Content Over the Testament of the '
Late < harles B. Craw.
In the probate court yesterday Judge
Bazille partially heard the objections of
George R. Craw and Sarah B. Craw,
both of Fort Wayne, Ind., to the probate
of the will of Charles King Craw, under
which all of the estate of the testator,
aggregating $5,000, was left to the wife
of the decedent, Florence Harriet Craw.
The petitioners are half brother and half
sister to the testator.
The objection was on the grounds that
the will is not properly executed, that
the signature is not that of the de
ceased; that the testator was of an un
sound mind at the time of the will; that
the testator and devisee were not legally
married, and that the latter exerted an
undue influence over the testator at the
time of making the will. The will Is
dated April 27, 1899, and the hearing is
continued until June 23.

SO SAYS THE LINCOLN CLUB
ConfgrcMxmun .. Stevens .' Telia the
Faithful What the Next Repub
lican National Platform Will
Contain The ..Great Foe of Trust*
—Talk, of Starting an Evening
Paper in Opposition to Thompson.
The proposition to indorse Oscar Claus
sen, the candidate of Mayor Kiefer for
city engineer, was turned down by the
Lincoln club at a meeting of that organi
zation last evening. There were thirty
of the members present and the fact that
the motion to indorse Mr. Claussen for
the position received but eight votes
would indicate that Mayor Kiefer, while
he may stand deuce high with the club,
is not even a nine-spot. Twenty-one
votes were cast against the indorsement.
This question having been settled, for
mer Mayor Doran handed in a typewrit
ten set of resolutions which were adopted
without dissent. In effect the resolu
tions called upon the four members of
the board of public works to do some
thing in the way of electing a city en
gineer. If the present Incumbent was
not competent or not a good Republican
then the resolutions called upon the
board to choose someone who would fill
the bill, but in any event to settle the
matter at once.
Copies of the resolutions will be mailed
today to each of the four members of
the board, but as one of the club mem
bers stated after the meeting was over,
Messrs. Pottgieser and Ames will not
dare to vote for any one except with the
consent of Mayor Kiefer.
Applications for membership were re
ceived from C. J. Kruger and Armand
Albrecht, and the payment of $11 cash
in dues warmed the enthusiasm of the
members present to the right pitch for
a speech from Congressman Stevens.
Mr. Stevens threw bouquets at the
club by saying that the lofty sentiments
of the Republican party needed organiza
tions like the Lincoln club to keep the
party up. With considerable fervor he
thanked heaven there was not a cam
paign every year, but prophesied that
next year the money question would have
to be fought over again. The great
question of shall we expand or remain
as we are would also be one of the
things which would have to be decided
The Republican party would see to It
that wherever the flag flung its folds
today It would be maintained.
The gigantic evil of the day was the
trusts, and the speaker, with the quali
fying statement that he spoke for himself
only, believed that tho Republican party
would put them down. If the trusts were
to be controlled and suppressed it must
be by the Republican party. Tho Repub
lican party protested against monopoly,
Mr. Stevens said, because .it reduces the
wages of the laboring man and raised the
prices. Ho quoted figures to prove that
more suits had been commenced against
trusts by Republican attorneys general
than by attorneys under Democratic ad
ministrations.
Ho advocated the establishment of a
new department of the, government to be
known as the department of commerce,
which, if established, would do a great
deal to shut out monopolies. His plan was
to have the new department license the
trusts to do Interstate business and In
this way squeeze the water out of the
over-capitalized trust stocks. He explain
ed that he v/as not a Populist, but he far
vored an annual income tax from the
great trusts in order that the great cor
porations of wealth should bear a share
of the burdens of the country. ■
Mr. Stevens was tendered a rising vote
of thanks for his talk, and a resolution
wns passed invitiug J. Adam Bede to ad
dress the club at its next meeting. This
resolution was amended so as to include
the sending of a year's subscription to Mr.
Bede for his paper by the club treasurer.
Among the faithful present were:
PreFidont Blackwell, F. 13. Doran, Tim
othy Reardon, F. S. Bryant, Assembly
man Denny. John T. Duffy, Aid. Knauft,
Charles R. Parker. Stephen J. Picha, W.
R. Johnson, Maj. Espy, J. C. Nelson, J. C
Relchar-it, Dr. A. W. Whitney, Edward
G. Krahmer, S. B. Carter, John Wolter
storff, W. A. Lee and John Lareen.
The evening Republican organ had a
stinging editorial about the club, and be
fore the meeting was called to order there
was some discussion about starting an
evening paper to drive the present ;>aper
out of business. It was decided that this
would cost considerable money, however,
and the club was not In a position to en
ter upon the management of a daily paper
at the present time.

Last Meeting of the Season.
The Franklin School union met last
evening at the school and elected Rev.
Mr. Stilwell president, Mrs. A. O. Powell,

the Women's Civic league in promoting
public playgrounds, which she said re
quired Immediate attention, in view of
the nearness of the summer closing of
the schools.
Mrs. Conde Hamlin, president of the
Women's Civic league, told of the incep
tion of the playground plan and of the
plan as carried out in New York city
and Denver, where it has been especial
ly successful. Following Mrs. Hamlin'B
address there was a general discussion of
the playground question, in which Super,
intendent of Schools Smith took part.
Mrs. Deacon, on behalf of the union
expressed regret that the retiring press
tdent, Mrs. Barclay, is about to move out
of the district, and a resolution of thanks
for her faithful service was unanimously
passed.
After another selection by the chorus
the meeting adjourned and refreshments
were served by the ladies of the district

working several days on the" store and
were regarded as careful workmen. The
men stopped painting' when the 6 o'clock
whistles blew and ' were preparing to
pull up the staging to the top floor. They
were about middle way- between the sec
ond and third floors. Johnson stood
bending over one end of the staging,
while Deehene was upright at the other
end, looking to the ground, where part
of the tackle was. in a tangle. Dechene.
according to Johnson, placed one foot
against a sign across the front of the
building and pushed, the staging out a
short distance to-disentangle the lower
hanging ropes. Suddenly. Johnson says,
Dechene's end of, : the staging dropped
several feet. This-,,pulled the end of the
staging upon, whlcfo Johnson was stand-
Ing from the "stirtfup."-' Johnson grasped
one of the ropes with a cry of warning.
His end of the staging: crashed to the
pavement, while 1 tjie end where Dechena
was standing remained, fast at the second
story. -As Johnson half fell, half slid
down the incline thus::formed ! he saw
Dechene tumbled Byer" backward to the

unable to grrfsp any pf the taut ropes

nor did he move after striking j the walk.
His skull was shivered at the base of

rectly under the paging when it :fell,
though the street :. In!'; the vicinity was
crowded with people going home from
work. The two girls on bicycles were
passing close to the curb and were cov
ered with red paint from the cans, but
were not injured. They hurried away

Tomorrow he will leave for Chicago.
"I went over to Minneapolis this after

special attention to the mailing division,
which Congressman Fletcher and tho
postmaster had brought to my attention
on account of the cramped quarters. I
believe, however, that an appropriation
has been made for an addition to the
rear of the building, which will give con
siderably more room.
"If the street car mall service between

would be a great convenience to the resi

', y Gray and Powers Renppolnted on
the Board of Equalization.
A spirit of opposition to the mayor de
veloped yesterday at the meeting of the
board of county commissioners and the
session was in consequence the warmest
for a long time. The commissioners
present were Commissioners Gray, Quehl,
Hardick. Wright, Powers and Mayor
Klefer.
Gen. Moses Clapp and Edward Tanish,
representing the bondsmen of the de
funct Allemannia bank, were present
and urged that the county definitely ac
cept the proposition of the bank for a
settlement of the county's claims for
$7,000. The original claim was $21,000,
and it was urged that the city had ac
cepted a proposition a little less favor
able than the proposed 33 1-3 per cent
basis. The county attorney presented
an opinion to the effect that the matter
was entirely in the hands of the commis
sioners, but requesting time to consider
the form of the resolution. This was
ignored by the commissioners, all of

market site, which was brought up by
H. S. Fairchild, who asked that it be con
sidered under a suspension of rules and
also that no sites, not heretofore consid
ered by the city council, receive any at
tention. But nevertheless George Benz
presented plans for a market site on an
Irregular plat of ground fronting on West
Third street, running back to Eagle
street," and bounded east , and west, re
spectively, by Franklin and Exchange
streets. Mr. Benz proposes that a brick
retaining wall be built within seventy
five or one hundred feet of the street
line, using the earth taken in the ex
cavation to fill and level up the enclosed
space. Back of the wall and running
to Eagle street, the ground will be re
duced to the level of the last named
street. Then the . Intention is to erect
suitable iron pillars to a height level with
the wall, which will serve as a support
for the market platform. An estimate
for this bridge work Is being made at the

which was adopted:
