Dangern or Travel.

If one wants to get q lively sense
of what it means to rush through
space at fifty or sixty miles an hour
he must get on locomotive. Then
only does he begin to realize what
trifies stand between him and de-
struction. A few weeks ago lady
sat an hour in the cab of Iocomo-
tive hauling a fast express train
over a mountain road. She saw the
marrow bright line of the rails and
the slender points of the switches.
She heard the thunder of the bridges,
and saw the track shut in by rocky
bluffs and new perils suddenly re-
vsaled as the engine swept around
sharp curves. The experience was
to her magnificent, but the sense of
danger was most appalling. To
have made her experience complete
she should have taken one engine
ride on a dark and rainy night
In a daylight ride on locomo-
tive we come to.realike how slender
is the rail and how fragile it's fast
eDings compared with the ponder
GUS machines which they carry.
We see what trifiing movement of
switch makes, the difference be-
tween life and death. We learn
how short the look ahead must often
be and how close danger sits on
either hand. But it is only in a
night ride we learn how dependent
the engineer must be, after all, upon
the faithful vigilance of others.
The head light reveals a few yards
of glistening rail and gnostly tele-
graph poles and switch targets.
We're switch open, rail taken up,
or pile of ties on the track, we
could not possibly see the danger in
time to stop.--H. G. Prout in Scrib.

pick raisins. The next boy is both
truthful and posted. He answers
the bakers question with bar from
the classical McGinty overture, and
is immediately introduced to the
room within where with score of
others he is to find engagement.
When all the boys who have passed
the examination satisfactory are in
their places the baker brings in the
bags of raisins and curranfs. Each
boy is given portion and told to
whistle. The wisdom of the bakers
scheme is that as long as there is

hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,

chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual

vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is

Martin, a laborer residing at the corner
of Myrtle and Central streets in West
port, was destroyed by fire, Mr.. Mar.
tins youngest child, a boy of -four
months, perishing in the flames.
Mrs. Martin left her three
children in the house while she went
across the street, and while the
little ones were playing the stovepipe
set fire to the oiled paper on Il walls.
The two elder children escaped, while
it was impossible to rescue the babe,
its body being frightfully burned. A
purse of 500 was made up for the un-
fortunate family.
Katie Burns, the five-year-old daugh-
ter of w. ]. Burns, contractor living
at 3201 Main street, was burned to
death at her fathers home Tuesday
night. Mrs. Burns had left the hous
for the purpose of milking the COW,
first cautioning the child to keep away
from the fire. A few moments later
she was Mortified to see the little one
rush screaming from the house, her
clothes all ablaze. The mother extin-

THE LIBERTY TRAGEDY.

A Silly Young Wife's Improper Relattoni
with the Attorney the Cause OF HeI
Husband's Tragic Death.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-The terrible
tragedy of Tuesday night resulting in
the death of John Lewton mot Luy
ton, as previously spelled, was the di'
rect outgrowth of the illicit love OF the
young, dark-haired and pretty girl
wife and ex-Prosecuting Attorney
James L. Sheetz, his slayer.
From reliable sources it has been
learned that Sheetz and Mrs. LewtOr
came to this city Christmas day and
spent the afte noon together at lodg
ing house. The news of his wife's sin
was carried to John LewtOn; he sought
her betrayer and met his death.
Lewton was unarmed, and the pre-
sumption from the evidence before
the coroner is that he went to the Office
of Sheetz for the purpose of having 9
verbal understanding with the lawyer,
or to punish him for what he called
in speaking to well known citizen be
fore the killing-the breaking up of his
home.
Lewton more than once since his re-
turn from California before Christmas
complained of an alleged over-friendli
ness having existed between Sheet;
and Mrs. Lewton. He threatened tt
whip him for coming to Kansas City
on New Years day in company with
Mrs. Lewton, and in another converse
ton he said he intended shaping the
face off, Sheetz for breaking up his
home. 1t isquite evident that he went
to the Office of Sheetz for the purpose
of having this understanding" He
was unarmed, and of cou' Sc it must be
inferred that his idea was to give
Sheetz punishment with his fists or s
flashing with his tongue.
The scene that was enacted in the
law Office Tuesday night may never be
portrayed for the public gaze. Sheet1
and Lewton saw every thing that hap
pened, one can not and the other may
not tell the story.
