THE ELK-HoRN TRAIN.

Yesterday afternoon an old man came in
from the west in n wagon decorated al
around and on top with heads and antlers OF
the elk. Some Of the horns were four feet
long. He drove up Douglas avenue and
stopped in front of Lynch's store to make
seme purchases. The sight soon attracted q
large crowd who gathered about the wagon
and examined the strange layout. To an
EAGLE reporter the old gentleman stated
that he had come from Rout county, Colo
RADIO and was on his way to Howard in this
state. He said Colombo was good place
to leave. The old gentleman wore a grand
army badge, and true to his soldier record
he was sound Republican. Somebody
presented him with a "Blaine and Logan
banner WHICH he affixed TO the top of one OF
the immense antlers that surmounted the top
Of his wagon cover, and off he started east
along Douglas avenue. Business men
rushed out of their stores all along the street
as he passed by and cheer upon cheer greet
ed the procession as it passed along.

WRECK ON THE SANTA FE.


Information has been received that Sc
rious wreck attended with fatal results &C.
CURED on the Santa Fe at Newton on Sum-
day. The facts learned by a reporter are as
follows: A freight train from the west was
standing on the track at Newton where
there is u heavy grade. The freight from
the east came in at pretty high speed and
the engine was cut loose from the train
without stopping and run down to the water
tank; the brakemen were unable to hold the
train owing to the grade and it ran into the
other train with great force, causing a bad
smash and throwing sixteen cars of the
track. The same authority says that two
train men were killed. We cannot vouch
for the truth of the whole statement but
there is no doubt that an accident did occur
with what results we cannot state positively.
The freight train due here at 3 p. M, did

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC TOE.
What q Fashionable Professor o.
Dancing and Department says.

what . FashiouabIe Professor Of
Dancing and Department says.
Philadelphia Timesl
There will be no radical changes or de-
partures from the dances of last season.
The german will this winter receive new i'm
petus from several startling and novel figures
to be introduced. Among them may men,
ton the roller-skate figure, which promises
to be very popular. A very light pattern Of
skate has been produced especially for this
purpose and will be used in the dance. Other
figures likely to be much danced are the
four-in-hand and tandem, the peper bag,
jockey, mirror, triangle and dice-throwinx
figures. Favors will be unprecedently costly,
and viii include finger-rings, bracelets,
scarf-pins and $50 gold pieces, on one side
Of which monogram will be engraved. An
almost endless variety of new figures are
contemplated
In waltzing, the fashionable Newport glide
will become the favorite The regular waltz
glide will remain the dance Of a great many
who do not follow the changes Of fashion In
dancing. The racquet will be in better favor
this year among watchful mammas, the step
having been brought down to the trois
temps, which keeps the feet nearer the floor
and robs the dance OF the somewhat indecor-
Gus kick hitherto considered 80 Objectionable.
The ripple, a western step, will be much
danced, while the double glide will have per
haps more admirers than ever The Sara
toga lancers will be one Of the most popular
dances this winter on account Of its having
been so much danced at the seashore during
the summer. The minuet lancers will also be
in favor on account of the easy grace of the
movement
In quadrilles there will be added the CO.
quette and caulifower figures, sometimes
terminating with the new year and Tempete
figures. The Caledonian quadrille, beauti-
fully arranged dance, will be among the
seasons favorites. La Varsoviana, with the
old mazourka waltz step. will be revived
with great deal of enthusiasm by the young
people. The schottische will be danced, with
the addition Of the glide waltz, which, Of
course, will make the step more graceful.
The polka galop, very interesting dance,
without the laborious movement Of the old
polka, will be classed among the favorites,
on account Of its easy grace of movement
The effort made by the Society Of Profess
sors Of Dancing to secure uniformity in dane
ing throughout the country has not met with
the success that was appreciated. The far
inland cities have proved stumbling blocks
with their deep rooted provincialisms and
their unwillingness to make any change in
the prevailing styles. The successful season
at Long Branch, Saratoga and Naragsnsett
Pier. where dancing has been the rage, will
give great impetus to the winters dan. ing in
large cities

FISHERS RAID.

G. II. Shirley and Dan Cohec have been
running a saloon at the east end of Douglas
avenue. re,r the bridge, for some time, and
it appears that man named VIM. Fuller
love has been running poker game at the
the same place. The place in question is
outside the city limits and the parties
thought they were safe inasmuch as the po-
lice have no authority to modest them. In
this they were mistaken for last Sunday
Sheriff Fisher swooped down upon them
and captured the whole lot. G. II. Shirley
and Dan Cohee were taken in for keeping
their place open on Sunday and Fullerlove
was pulled for gambling. These men will
find out that they cannot break the law with
IMMUNITY even if they are outside of the
city.

FOR THE FRONT.

Mr.. John Gaffeny, general roadmaster
Mr.. Thomas Gaffeny, his brother, and Mr.
Peter Bogue, the head track-layer of the
Sunfower road, arrived in this city Sunday
night from the east with the track-layine
outfit, boarding train and sixty men. They
proceeded to the front yesterday morning
and track-laying and surfacing will begin al
once and be pushed rapidly to the junction
with the Southern Kansas road. They ex-
pect to average a mile per day. The com
pany have two thousand tons of steel rail:
on hand at present, which will lay about
twenty-five miles of track. The town:
along the route are in high feather over the
bright future in prospect. Argonia is par
ticularly happy at the idea of having direct
line to the great mart of the southwest.

THE MACHINERY OF THE ALPS.
How the Work OF the Ages Goes op
in Europe.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The Alps constitute a vast machine, which
manufactures water out Of snow and sup
plies it to sll Europe. Every year there
falls on the Alps thirty three feet of snow,
most Of it falling between the latitudes
1000 and 5000. This SLOW, light, opaque

bury them three-fifths of a mile deep in the
course OF century, is continually pressed
down. formed into glacial ice, showed
through the valleys, melted into rivers and
distributed to the four quarters of Europe
by the machinery of the Alps A cubic yard
of snow weighs 1877 pounds; when snow is
tbswed and sinks into the glacial form,
cubic yard weighs nearly half ton. When,
it becomes solid ice a cubic yard weighs
nearly ton. From the surface to the bot
tom Of a glacier are to be observed all these
gradations of snow, the light and opaque at
top, the solid at bottom.
Some Of these glaciers are over l 600 feet
deep. The water which melts from them Is
estimated as equal to height of ten feet in
year. Their movement is generally down.
ward, but occasionally they appear to shrink
back and upward, only to renew their down
ward course at subsequent period. In this
way they advance slowly from the heights to
the outlets Of the valleys. sometimes as low
down as >, 600 feet Of altitude; this snail-like
journey often requiring more than a century.
a ladder which Saussure left in l7SS at the
foot of the Aquille Noir, when he assembled
Mount Blanc, was found in 1852 at distance
Of 4,s57 yards below, a descent of eleven
inches a day. A knapsack which fell into
crevasse of the glacier Talefre and was after
wards found below, Travelled at the rate of
fourteen inches day. In 1920 n guide fell
into TIE first crevasse that opened at the foot
Of Mount Blanc; in 1855, his body, recovered
below, was found to havo Travelled at the
rate of eighteen inches day. In 1860, the
aody Of a mountaineer, clad in the fashion of
some former age, was delivered up at tho
loot of the Ahrenthal glacier in Austria.
Tyndall found that the Mer de Glace trav-
eled at the rate Of thirteen inches day in
winter and twcnty-four inches in summer;
Agassiz discovered that the center Of the
glacial stream moved faster than the sides:
Charpentier ascertained that the stream had
its eddies and its whirlpools; Render ascer-
tanned that it is impossible to point out any
phenomenon Of rivers which was not to be
observed in glaciers. Hence their impor-
