Mist0ok the Signal.

A wELL-KNowN engineer on the U. P,
who has q slight impeachment in his
speech, had an interview q few days
since with his Division Superintendent,
the nature of which gradually leaked
out and became source of considers
BILE fun for the boys. The story goes
that on q recent run his engine had q
collision with q COW, resulting disas-
trously to the animal in question. By
rule of the railroad company such acct
dents must be reported by the engineer
and conductor in writing, and for some
reason the engineer forgot his duty on
this occasion, until he was summoned
before the railroad magnate for private
investigation.
"Mr. -" said the Superintendent,
" how is it that you failed to report the
datep''
81 d-d-d-d-don't remember any
su-s-s-s-such accident" replied the
knight of the foot-board, scratching his
head thoughtfully.
We'll, you certainly must have killed
. COW on that run, for it was reported in
due form by the CONDUCTOR" insisted
the Superintendent:
"N.n-n-no, d.d-d-didn't,'' said the
engineer.
"Now Just think q moment and see If
you can't remember it, said the per-
,istent interrogator.
"No, 1 -can'tremember ki-ki-kill-

GENERAL STATE NEWS.

Governor Crawford, State Agent for
the prosecution of claims at Washington,
has informed Auditor Bonebrake that the
held in the Indian reservation, amounting to
$l9l 900, and the first installment of our
military claims, amounting to $4,000, were
included in the General Appropriation bill
signed by President Hayes. The warrant
will be sent to the State Treasurer as soon
as it can be reached in the course of busi-
ness. The allowance of the Sc, 900 is a guar
antee Of the allowance of the balance of our
military claims, amounting to $3.50, 900.
This will be welcome news in Kansas, as
the military claims have lain in the vault of
the Auditors Office Of the State for the last
twenty years, and their final payment with
in the next two years Is assured.
The appropriations made by the Leg
islature will necessitate levy for general
revenue purposes for the year 1882 of four
mills, and for the year 1888 of three and one
half mills. This is a reduction of One-h
mill for 1882 and one mill for 1888 compared
with 1881. And the one half mill for State
house extension and one-half mill for inter-
est and sinking fund make . total levy of
five mills for 1882 and four and one-half
mills for 1883. Thus there is a total reduc-
ton Of one mill over the levy Of last year.

opened for the purpose of shooting the
snow into the sewers. Help was quick
ly procured, and several firemen anil
workmen descended, on the hopeless
errand of endeavoring to save the poor
child. The flooded state of the sew.

BILE, and as yet the bereaved parents
have not even had the sad satisfaction
of seeing the body recovered.
