COURT VS.. COMMISSION.
Kansas Railroad Commissioners
Get a Black Eve,

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 5.-The supreme
court this morning handed down an
opinion in the case of the state against
the Kansas Central and Union Pacific
Railroad companies. This was the
mandamus proceedings brought by
the attorney general to compel the
Kansas Central road to relay or
prepare its tracks. The court held
that it could not make decree or en-
ter a judgment until complete hearing
of all the issues in the case could be
had. The decision in measure gives
the board of railroad commissions a
black eye, as 1t holds that the board has
only an advisory power aud that the
supreme court alone can compel the en-
forcement of its DEGREES. The decision
will probably result in the legislature
comforting on the board of railroad COM
missioners the power to enforce its de-
crees without the delays consequent
upon bringing legal process through the
supreme court.

Pioneer RaiIroader Dead.

F. 3. Whitney, one of the oldest and
most popular railroad men in the North
west, died yesterday morning at Omaha,
Neb. Death resulted from an operation
for liberation of the bowels. Mr.. Whit
ney was pioneer in the railroads of
this section. He began life as clerk
in the offices of the old ST. Paul q
Sioux City about twenty-five years ago.
He was regarded then as bright young
man, and was soon promoted as travel
ing auditor of the Omaha road, after
the consolidation of their lines. He
then entered the freight Office as chief
clerk, until he was appointed general
agent at Omaha. Resigning this place,
he acce pied the position of assistant
general freight agent of the Union Pa
cfic, in which capacity he served with
much credit until his death. Mr.. Whit
ney is well known in st. Paul and
comes of an old and distinguished
family. He is u brother-in-law OF Presi-
dent Upham, of the First National
bank. His many friends here deeply
regret their loss. and much sympathy is
expressed for his family. Tie remains
will be brought here for burial.

bees didn't seem to like the proceeding

they were unable to fly. They deter

Then, all at once, they began to get in
their work on the jayhawker. Down

to dawn upon his mind that he was
cutting quite figure. Then he con-
cluded to dance o jig, kicking up the
mud at q lively rate for about five min

hundred spectators, somebody sneaked
around and stole the hive of honey. It

the bees out of his clothes. 1t is well

Healthfulness Of Honey.

P1iny, the Roman historian, speaks of
Rumilius Polio, who possessed marvel
GUS health and strength, at over 100
years Of age. Upon being presented to
the Emperor Augustus, who inquired
the secret of his iveliness of spirits and
strength of body ct so great an age, he
answered: "I1eterats melle; eete,'2ls
oleo"-Internally through honey; ex-
ternally through oil.
Pure honey should be used unspar-
ingly by every family. It is no longer
luxury to be enjoyed only by few,
but it is sufficiently cheap to be within
the reach of all. It has properties
which make it valuable food. 1t differs
from alcoholic stimulants, which dull
the intellect-on the contrary it pro-
duces a bright intellect as we'll as a
healthy body. Children are very fond
OF honey, and one pound of it goes fur
ther than a pound of butter. It has
the popularity Of keeping good while
butter often becomes rancid, and iniu.
rious to health.
The bees gather the honey from the
juices of healthy plants, shrubs and
trees, and the nectar SO gathered is,
therefore, the pure sweet, as it comes
from the hand of the Creator. We,
therefore, strongly advise every family
in the land to place honey on the table
for daily use; make cakes, cookies,
ginger bread, popcorn balls, etc., with
it, and give it to the children, impart-
ing to them health of body and strength
of mind, instead of using the unhealthy,
adulterated syrups which now so com
monty deal out death to the "little
ones" desolating almost every house
hold and hanging the black pail of
mourning over the world.-Anlerica7a

There were enough men there, but
there was deficiency of ammunition,

The only road was the smooth sand
beach along the bay, and the distance
between the two points about mile

Battery Wagner's guns covered all the
way to the sand hills, behind which
was the Federal camp.
am describing the incident as it
appeared from the shipping in the bay;
and what called attention to it was the
sudden waking up Of every gun on the
southeast angle of Sumter.
Looking to see the cause of the furi.
Gus cannonading, everybody was sur
prised to see mule tearing up the
beach in the direction of the new work.
Inc driver was laying the lash on, and
'that mule had its ears laid straight
back, and was making its legs go.
Occasionally shell would, touch the
beach, bound up and explode, and the
mule would then hesitate and try to
turn back. But the driver would lay
the cowhide on with renewed vigor:
then the mule put on another squirt,
until at last it became entirely demon
allied by the explosion of a ten-inch
shell under its belly.
The driver got off his seat, took the
animal by the head, whirled it around
once or twice, and started it up the
beach once more.
Fort Sumter flashed and famed,
Battery Wagner belched and thun-
dered, and still that daring driver
urged his mule along, though the wav
was swept by at least thirty guns.
At last he reached his destination,
but he could not stay there, and in q
moment he was turned around and ex-
horting that animal to do its level
best. The mule did not need to. be
told to step out, for in its rear there
were roar and racket, and about its
ears were flying sand and scrap-iron,
which seemed to stimulate its fleet
ness.
Down that hard beach few the
mule, the light cart bobbing up and
swaying, and the drivers arm rising
and falling as he dealt out lash after
lash. At last they near the friendly
shelter of the sand-hills.
In another minute they will be safe,
but just as they neared the place to
turn aside, she'll came screaming
from Sumter. Everybody could sec
the huge mass of iron as it reared
through the air. It struck the beach
directly in the rear of the mule, and
with bound it overlook it and ex-
ploded with terrific violence.
When the she'll exploded q circle Of
smoke hid the mule for moment; but
when the smoke cleared Mr.. Mule had
his ears laid back. and, with head
down and legs lashing wildly out, he
was making kindling wood of the cart,
which had been badly demoralized by
fragment of the shell.
Presently the driver is seen imping
to the mule; in a second the mule is
free from the cart. and, with the driver
on his back and farewell whisk of his
tail, disappears behind the cover of the
hills.
The thousands of boys in blue unite
in long and hearty hurrah: the sail
ors wave their hats and shout them
selves hoarse, and, bark the Southern
soldiers have caught the infection and
are cheering, too!
