Ola. ths vletiE.

Al about 80 y. M. Saturday the
alarm was given that . boy had got
under the lee and drowned. AcrOWd
soon hurried 10 the river and the re-
port proved to be but too true. A
boy by the name Of Oscar Lundgren.
or years old, aud two youthful
companions, were bantering one aH-
other as TO their ability 20 approach
the edge Of the ice below the dam Of
the c. r. Underwood 4 Cos mill In
the city. At this point the stream
from the mill outlet IL very rapid
and without q covering Of ice. The
Lundgren boy was in advance and
he went down. Mr.. Shinn, EN-
pIoyed At the mill, was the first to
reach the spot. aud by crawling on
the ice bOdy-length he managed to
reach the boy and pull him out
but several minutes had elapsed
Two gasps were made after the body
was brought from the water
but DR.. w. B. Devices did
not till some time later, after al
examination, pronounce life extinct.
The boy was the son Of Charles
Lundgren, who drives the team Of
c. r. Underwood & Co. The body
body was conveyed to his home near
the mill, but all efforts at resuseita-
lion proved unavaiIinR.

Death ofR.-s. ChnmplIn.


With regret we are compelled 10
record the death OF r. 5. Champlln,
which occurred yesterday Jan. ~
al his farm six miles south OF Salina,
Of pneumonia. He was q native OF
Delhi, Delaware county, New York.
He served ia the war as u member
OF Go. C., l44th New York Infantry.
He came 10 Kansas in 1856, aud set
tied upon the farm where he died
He remained y bachelor until 1881,
when he was united in marriage
to Mercy Dent, daughter Of w. ID.
Dent, who lives three miles north OF
Rockville. Four children we're
born Ia them.
He went TO bed Sunday night In
good spirits, apparently ~ well IS
ever. He never Arose from that bed
again. He Was hopeful OF his re-
coveFy until Wednesday, when he
told his wife he believed he was go
ing to die. He had about 60 head Of
cattle, and without help had attend
ed to them. II is believed that over
work and exposure was the cause
OF his sickness. He had weak
lungs aud took cold very easily.
He served IS \ county commissioner
for two successive terms, and was
known IS az attentive, honest Offi-
cial. He was q Democrat in politics,
though quite independent in his
vote and action. He was generally
esteemed throughout the county, be-
ing well known by the Older. citizens.
He resided In Salins some time, en-
gaging in the livery business, and
was one the prOprietOrs Of the stone
barn at the corner of Iron avenue
and Fifth street. Not beingsueeess-
ful in the livery business he return
ed to the farm. He was 81 years old
at the time OF his death mot s. years
Old)-as stated yesterday. One by
one the old settlers are passing away,
and a flood Of thoughts o. the Olden
timetalmOft OverpOwering)OpPresse
the soul as the funeral bell tolls each
departure. The ties which connect
the pioneers who tOiled through the
same labOrs and experienced the
same joys, is almost akin to mason
~. As each veteran" il cut down,
it is like the fall Of a dear conrad in
battle. The death Of no pioneer will
be more sincerely mOurned by his
surviving fellows than that Of the
whole-souled "ChamP"-as he was
familiarity called.

Wild Ponies on the Southern Coast.

On the banks or sand bars that divide the Atlantic Ocean from Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, just inside the light house that marks out to the mariner dreaded Cape Lookout, there is to be found hardy race of ponies known as "bankers." These ponies have lived there as long as the tradition of the old est inhabitant inhabitant dates back. Entirely surrounded by deep water at all seasons, having no communication with the mainland, and being barren of vege- tation save @ scanty growth of seed grass and low shrubs, the banks have re- mained uninhabited except by these ponies, which seem to thrive and multi ply in spite of the hardships to which they are exposed.
 How they first came there, or of what origin, is conjecture, and tradition merely hints the story of some violent storm, with it's attendant shipwreck and loss of all on board save lot of ponies from some European port, which were cast upon the sands, and, surviving the storm, became the progenitors of the race now so numerous. Having to rely on instinct alone, these animals are subject of study to the naturalist, as they are prey not only to the driving sands but to the storms of the cape, that break upon and over the narrow sand bar and change with each recurring hurricane the top ography of the country. The ponies, choosing the protected sides of the hil- locks, burrow deep into the yielding sand and stamp out protected stall, where they take refuge from the storm and, while many are destroyed, their number has increased. d.-Americam Agri- c1ilt,riSt

THE BURLINGTON TROUBLE. Proposing a Board of Control to
 Manage the Railroad.

The Chicago Times prints the following re- garding the answer to the Burlington made by the Rock Island in the suit brought in Judge Gresham's court, charging that the Burling ton conspired to create great West. I'll Rail road Trust, and in pursuance of that policy held down rates for some time after the other roads were willing and anxious to restore them:
 ''There was, without doubt, a movement in favor of creating what was to be known as a Board of Control, which was to have the pow CT to decide all questions arising between the railroads in the West, and to arrange the rates on and control the through and competitive business of the Western lines.
 "At the first conference this plan was sub- mitted, and rejected by a large majority. Just ly or not, the impression prevailed that it was a Burlington plan, and it was common gossip among the officials that the three members of the Board of Control would have been E. P, Ripley, general freight agent of the Burling- ton; J. W. Midgley of the Southwestern; and J. N. Faithorn of the Western and Northwestern freight bureaus.
 ''The officials believed the Board thus con- stituted would have been managed in the in- terests of the Burlington, and from this b lief arose the intense opposition to it. At this same meeting, upon proposition to restore rates, the Burlington representative voted in the negative, it being understood that that con- pany would not acquiesce until permanent agreement between the competing roads had first been arrived at.
 ''Since then the Conference Committee has agreed upon a report to be submitted to the managers which provides for an adjusting Boarl to take up and settle disputed questions, and thus is really a Board of Arbitration, it's power being limited and the right of appeal arranged for Subsequently the Burlington agreed to restore the rates, but for what reason has not been made apparent"
