CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 14.-The third Sec
ton Of freight train on the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad broke in
two between Kent and Tallmadge, o. The
front end of the freight was put on the
side track and fagman was left at Tall
madge to flag the east bound passenger

from his engine to return to the train
and did not perform the duty required
of him. The engines came together with
fatal results to eight people and injuries
to six others. Those reported killed are:
Engineer Huntington, Fireman Walters,
Brakeman Rashford, Express Messenger
Landy, Mary Lyon, little six-year-old
girl of Cherry Tree, NY, and three China
men. The names Of the injured are not
yet learned. The collision took place at

madge. The tracks on both sides
were bound by a heavy growth of trees
and the country in the vicinity is but
sparsely Inhabited. A few minutes after
the accident occurred flames began to
shoot out of the baggage car and smoker.
The passengers and train people immedi-
ately began the work of rescuing the in
jured and dead from the wreck. The
coach in the rear of the smoker was badly
dana ged and the end of the baggage car
had crushed far into the smoker.

70 Q civilization at once unique and In advance
Of great wealth among our people. OF its own
kind, It boasts not Of a splendid state
where wealth saccumulates. and men de-
cay" but Of happy state. where laws
restrain cupidityA and greed; . civilization
that breeds neither barons nor beg
gars. nor luxury. nor destitution; whose
prime factors are the railroads the school
house, the Church and the press; liberty within
the law; wherein happy homes, contented Ore
sides. intelligent. independent, honest men and
women are the chief end and glory of the State.
For, after all, tho state of which we speak and
are 50 proud is not the soil we tread upon nor
the air we breathe. but the people as they 20
about their daily walk and assemble nightly In
their homes by the sacred hearth-stone, the
pillars OF society, the affairs OF the Republic.
It is to this Kansas, Of whose early influences
have briefly spoken, that millions have been
population at once heterogeneous and homo
geneous, through the alchemy of free, compul-
sorry education, the assimilating power OF the
railroad, the telegraph and the press, and the
influence OF our early settlement. OF immigra-
ton Kansas gets generous share and the best,
due somewhat to our location on the highway
to the other sea; to the fnducemeut Of
cheap homes, congenial climate = and
productive soil. but in larger
degree to the generous sunshine of freedom
that brightens every page OF her history-the
love OF liberty and the magnetism of liberty
loving people. These are the influences which,
more than any others, have inspired the sturdy
Briton the mercurial Frenchman, the thrifty
sons of Germany, Switzerland, Norway and
Sweden. and the somber-visaged Russian Of
the frozen North, and the best young men
and women of our sister States to
como. These various elements here
blended, and out of them all has come a
homogeneous people, without prejudice or pro-
vincialism, yet strong in traditions and history,
and all that goes to make State great in arts,
in literature in peace, in war; So it is not the
Kansas Of geography which men so much ad-
mire, but the Kansas OF history. Az another
has said: 1.-The charm of Kansas is the people
OF Kansas"
To successfully administer the laws of such a
people is task calling for the largest capacity
in the affairs OF State, in industry. in . con-
scientious regard for the rights OF all, IN dis
eliminating Judgment and in the courage OF
ones convictions. Not vain enough to nope
to fill the standard here set up,
can but pledge my best endeavor, and,
with your good will. can not altogether
fail The past is gratifying; the future en-.
couraging. Kansas is rich In retrospection and
opulent in hope. Knowing what this brave
people have done in the past, anticipating some-
| thing OF what they may do in the future. bow
reverently to the execution of their sovereign
will.

MANKATo CAN HAVE 1T.

Gen. j. Fl. Baker was in town Monday
and informed us of the action taken last
week by the executive committee of the
State Dairymen's Association, of which
he is president, regarding the location
of the next annual meeting The COM
mittee decided for Mankato. Waseca be-
ing strongly favored by several mem
bers, who, however, were brought
around TO our favor by Gen. Baker The
selection of Mankato is conditional upon
the guarantee by this city of hall for
holding the sessions and 800 cash winch
will be offered in premiums by the asso-
citation. OF course there is no question
about Mankato's willingness to give
these Inducements TO secure the conven-
ton, but the board of trade should take
the matter in hand and officially notify
Gen. Baker of its acceptance. Vase
Gu has already rendered the money, be-
sides several other special premiums, so
that the action of this city should be
prompt
| Gen. Baker says that the convention
will be more largely attended than ever
before, as the interest in dairy matters
has largely increased recently. 1t will
bring to our city several thousands of the
most desirable class Of visitors, and there
should be all appropriate moves made
In the way of welcoming them.

Some Fine Lands for Sale.

Mr.. d. c. Evans has tract of 122 acres
of land which he is Offering for sale that
will prove valuable prize for the pur,
chaser either as an investment or fol
farming purposes. 1t IL located in Sec
ton Is, adjoining the village of South
Bend, and is just three-fourtbs of a mile
from the end of the Mankato street cal
line, and quarter of mile from Pond
Bros Riverside Addition. The land is
now occupied as dairy farm, and is well
supplied with timber. 1t lies on the
south bank of the Minnesota river, in,
deed, nearly one half of it bordering on
that stream, which fact secures for it nj
all seasons an abundance of water. Mr..
Evans is desiring to sell the tract as a
whole, and is offering IT upon most rea-
sonable terms. Lying as it does nearly
adjacent to the city limits, it is destined
at no late day to become exceedingly
valuable property. The trend of the
city's growth Is westward, and with ev-
cry development in that part of the city
this land increases in value. We know
of no other tract of such extent so favor
ably located and having SO many differ
ent things to recommend it. Anybody
thinking of buying land for farming pur-
poses or for investment, can not afford
to lose this opportunity, and should see
Mr.. Evans at once. A chart showing
the location of the tract can be seen al

line of the Chicago d Northwestern road,
which goes to New Ulm, Tracy and plac

run through the city and up the Mime

teen miles. A resolution has been pre-
pared and will be presented at the next

question has been dis cussed
for years and the Northwestern is I'M
derstood to be ready to make the move
on very short notice, even having the
temporary bridges ready to be erected.
1t is now believed that if united and
prompt action is taken there is a good
prospect of the extension being made.
1t is believed that the time has come TO

this resolution, and also one thanking

He occupied the entire session of the

about his observations of missionary
work abroad, the object of his trip being
to personally inspect the workings of
foreign missions. In speaking of the
law prohibiting the Chinese from com.

thing that America ever did, and" he
said, with slow emphasis which was
very impressive, sit will be paid for

Ankeny's rejoiner is that the person is
no longer in the office, having gone to

course, does not effect the charge that
the appointment was illegal. As regards
several other cases, MIR. Ankeny claims
that the Democratic postmaster general,

authorization to the civil service COM

There is no doubt but that Post.

A CORPSE IN THE CHIMNEY.

The Body of Mrs. May Kenney, Who Dis
appeared Ten Days Ago, Found in 9
Strange Place.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The body Of
Mrs. May Kenney, who has been missing
ten days, was found in chimney of the
house No. l73 Cherry street, where the
woman boarded before her disappear
ance. Her husband, a patrolman, died
recently, and Mrs. Kenney's mind seemed
affected by her grief. She attempted to
commit suicide by jumping from a win.
dow, but was prevented. She then dis
appeared, and evidently descended into
the chimney, and allowed herself to be
suffocated by the smoke. The body was
discovered by a chimney sweep, who had
been sent for because the occupants of the
house complained that the draught of the
chimney was defective and they could
not make their fires burn well. The
clothing had been burned up, and the
body was charred and decayed so that it
weighed only forty pounds, though Mrs.
Kenney had in life weight about 1875
pounds.
