ance joined with the Citizens Alliance to
nominate-a county ticket. The nomina-
tions were made by central committee
At the meeting OF the committee the Citi-
zens's Alliance had a majority OF the
members and dictated all the nominations

members. When these names were sent
out, the farmers rose in rebellion. declar
ing that it was job and trick. and that
the farmers We're being Cheated out of
their rights. A kickers' convention was
held recently, Mt which some of the high

RAIl wAX EMPI ONEC

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE supreme coun-
Gil OF the Federation Of Railway Employees
adjourned the annual meeting TODAY. to
meet sometime next week at Terre Haute.
Ind. This was made necessary by the
Northwestern controversy unexpectedly
overshadowing all other matters. All
business is postponed pending its settle
ment. The matter took the form of
chases made against the brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen of conspiracy with the
officials of the Northwestern railroad
against the switchmen during the recent
lookout, and some of the supporters of
the switchmen go so far as to assert that
any action adverse to them may result in
the withdrawal from the federation of
more than one order, that would join with
the switchmen in forming rival organi-
zation. The council itself took no action
in the matter, turning it over at once to a
committee which will report at the Terre
Haute meeting.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, June 7-There
was cloud burst near Corning, Ia, today
Plum creek, near that place, is usually
nothing but Il small stream, but today it
is "A roaring torrent About 5 O'Clock this
morning a dark cloud approached from the
west. 1t was very low and descended as it
travelled. When it reached the valley
through which Plum creek runs it burst
A short time afterward the Burlington
passenger train came along, bearing an
unusually large number of passengers A
mile west of Corning it passed over a
bridge which spans Plum creek.
seven minutes later freight train fol-
lowed. The creek in the meantime had
swollen to a torrent and washed away the
bridge. Engineer Powers had but a mo-
ment TO act. Grasping the throttle he re-
versed the engine and called for breaks.
The train slackened speed, but not enough
to prevent a partial wreck, and he was
forced to jump for life. In the twinkling
of an eye he made the leap, just as the big
locomotive and three cars fell with ter
rible crash into the chasm. The rest Of
the train held the track Eugineer Powers
in jumping landed in twelve feet of water,
but after thrilling struggle escaped.

KANSAS CITY, June 17-What is virtu-
ally battle between two states will be
waged in Kansas City during the next few
days. The state of Kansas, through its
salt interests, is the aggressor, and the
state of Michigan, through the railroads.
is the defendant. The strength of the two
parties will be measured before the inter
state commerce commission. The COM
mission arrived last night from Topeka.
This was the day set by the commission
for the hearing of the complaint Of the
Kansas city grain dealers against the
through lines of railroads; but. owing to
its withdrawal by the complainants. the
commissioners will proceed directly to the
hearing of the complaints of the salt pro-
ducerS of Kansas against the railroads
for maintaining unjust and unreasonable
rates
The salt dealers have strong case. All
the evidence on both sides will be heard
here by the commission and the case will
be taken under advisement The decision
will probably be rendered in a couple of
months. If the Kansans get the adjust
ment Of rates they ask for. Kansas will
control the salt industry of America. Rep
of the salt dealers arrived in
this city this morning, and are qHartered
at the Coates Representatives OF all the
defendant railroad companies are also in
the city The output of salt for Kansas
last year was ], ,0O0,000 barrels. The capac-
ity is double that amount. The salt men
have five complaints, Hutchinson has
three-one against the Rock Island, one
against the Santa Fe and one against the
Union Pacific. Anthony has two cases
one against the Missouri Pacific and one
against the Frisco
The injustice of the rates by the printed
tariffs is quite apparent. From Hutchin-
son, Kan, to Fort Worth, Texas, a dist
ance of 437 miles, the rate on salt is 3719
cents per 100 pounds in car load lots, or
is mills per ton per mile. The rate on
salt from Fort Madison, Iowa, to Fort
Worth, distance of $50 miles, is 3515
cents per 100 pounds, or s mills per ton
per mile. The rate on salt from Bay City,
Mich, to Fort Worth, a distance of 1,0d7
miles, is Al = cents per 100 pounds, or z
mills per ton per milo The Union Stock
Yards company. of Wichita, has a COM
plaint filed, alleging that AS much is
charged to bring Texas cattle to that city
as is charged to bring them to Kansas
City from the same point

When Andrew Young went to bis ranch
on Young's river, Oregon, to dig his pota-
toes he noticed several bushels already
gathered. He looked around the patch,
but saw no sign Of any one having dis
turbed the ground, and, to solve tho mys-
terry, watched behind a tree. He was soon
rewarded by seeing flock of blue jays
alight on the tree, and each bird had pO-
tato in its bill, which was dropped into an
opening in a limb and passed on down TO
the ground. He procured sacks, aud as
fast as Que was filled another was put at
the place, and in this way the birds har-
vested fifty bushels Of potatoes for him
from various patches around the country.

HIPP0I VIE SHOT.


New YORK, June 17.-First Mate Bishop,
Of the steamship Alvo which arrived
from Hsytian ports today, states that on
June 6, a vessel, which had been at Port
| au Prince during the insurection of June
3 and 4. reached Navassa and reported
that President Hippolyte had been shot
and killed by one of the insurgents. This
news was heard at Jacmel and was printed
IN newspaper there. The rumor could
not be confirmed by the people on the
Alvo before she left Jacmel, for owing to
the excitement in town, the passengers
feared to go ashore. The excitement was
caused by an outrageous murder by HIP
polyte's men, which occurred in that city
the day before
Prince was not known at Jacmel until
several days after it occurred When the
news did finally come the people of Jacmel
became frantic with excitement, and
loudly and publicly denounced Hippolyte
and his government There is small
garrison at Jacmel, and six of the crowd
who were the bitterest in denunciation Of
the ruler were arrested and thrown into
prison. The news of the event and the
arrests was Immediately carried to Hippo
lyte. A half dozen OF his soldiers
rode over from Port au Prince, arriving
early the next morning, and reporting at
the garrison. The news was quickly cir
culated that the prisoners were about to
be put to death Within an hour every
man and woman in the city was on the
street and surrounded the Jail The six
prisoners, handcuffed together, were then
led out of the prison, marched to the open
square in the. center of the city, and, in
the presence of friends and relatives, were
mercilessly executed, each soldier firing at
one man. The soldiers then mounted
their horses and returned to Port au
Prince.
After leaving Jacmel the Alvo touched
at Navassa island. There it was learned
that a steamer had touched the day before
and brought the news that the asSassina-
ton of Hippolyte was the result of con-
spiracy, formed Immediately after the kill
ing Of Rigaud, n merchant of Port au
Prince. At Navassa the Alvo met the
man-of-war Kearsarge, of the United
States navy, and it was there understood
that bad news had just been received from
Port au Prince, and that she was about to
start for that place.
Minister Hannibal Price denied this
evening that President Hippolyte had been
shot. At the office of steamship COM
pany it was stated that there was no truth
in the statement OF Hippoiyte's death: that
they had authentic information that Hip
polyte was alive, and had not been shot.
