KANSAS CITY, Dec. 14.-East bound
Santa Fe passenger train No. ., which
left Kanas City at $3.50 a. M, went
through bridge between Camden and
Floyd, forty miles east of here. The
baggage car and one coach went through

are reported badly hurt. 1t is expected
that the baggageman was killed out

account of the storm it is impossible to
get the details of the wreck. The

officials here admit there was serious
wreck, but claim no one was killed out
right. Superintendent Mcclellan has
gone to the scene Of the wreck and
the wounded will doubtless be brought

They Are Forming for the Purpose Of
Beating the Dalton's Record.
LAwRENCEvILLE, Kan, Dec. a.
For some weeks past a new gang Of
desperadoes has been forming in the
Indian Territory. The gang has for its
object the equalling if not the excelling
of the record made by the Dalton gang.
Prominent among the members of these
new seekers for desperate fame are
Henry Star, Cherokee half breed, Ed
Newcombe, Delaware, and two white
men named Jackson and Crickmore.
Numerous cases of horse thieving, three
bold robberies and one killing comprise
their record up to date. The last affair
occurred at l p. M. when Deputy United
States Floyd Wilson was killed while
trying 10 arrest Star. The murder oc-
CURED about sixteen miles southwest of
this city on Wolf creek. Wilson and a
pacific Express detective, w. G. Dickey,
started out to arrest Star. They came
upon him in an opening and Star when
called upon to throw up his hands an
swered by discharging his Winchester
at the officers. Wilson only shot once
as his gun would not work and he fell
dead from the fire of Star who shot
seventeen times and escaped without a
scratch. What Dickey was doing dur
ing this time cannot be ascertained yet.
Dickey took Wilson's body to Lenaph.
Wilson was from st. Louis, and was
counted one of the bravest deputies
in the territory. Deputy Marshal
Bruner, who led the attack when the
notorious Ned Christie was wiped out is
after the Star gang.

Will Abdicate the Throne.

VIENNA, Dec. l4.-The report that
King Charles, of Roumania, will abdi-
cate shortly in favor of crown Prince
Ferdinand is reiterated here with great
positiveness. The king is said to have
decided to renounce his crown immedi-
ately after the marriage of the crown
prince with the Princess Marie, of
Edinburgh. He has been moved to this
decision by the unpleasantness caused
between him and his ministers by his
unstable attitude at the time when
Queen Elizabeth was trying to marry
Prince Ferdinand to Mile. Vacaresco.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.

Why Mon Dislike to Purchase Goods &C
Big Dry-Goods Stores.
If ever a man so far forgets himself
as to make a purchase in great dry
goods store he makes a resolution on
the spot which ever leads him to pat
ronize little stores where he pays twice
as much for an article but has it handed
to him straight over the counter when
he has bought it and is able to go dis
rectly out with it.
Here is a little sample experience
in u big dry-goods store, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Yesterday man,
having lost button off his coat, went
into store which lay on his way to buy
another button to replace It. A sylph-
like young lady of seventeen summers
waited on him, somewhat absent-mind
edly, but produced presently the right
button. The price Of it was Ave cents.
The man took nickel from his pocket
and handed it to the young lady.
Think You that the transaction hav-
ing thus been completed, the man could
take the button which he had paid for,
slip it into his waistcoat pocket and go
his way? Certainly not. The young
k.dy must first make duplicate record
of the transaction upon certain COM
plicatcd blanks. One of these records,
together with the button, goes to
another young lady not far away, who
does them up in little parcel; but the
other record, with the nickel, must
make long journey through pncu-
matte tube or leash railway" to q
distant cashiers desk, and the parcel
maker may not on peril of her life de-
liver the button to the purchaser until
the cashier has duly inspected the nickel
and sent back through the same inter-
minable pneumatic tube stamped
record showing that the nickel has been
received.
Now yesterday, in the case Under
consideration, this interesting hum-a-
diddlc occupied exactly ten minutes by
tho watch, during all Of which time the
man, who had paid exactly the right
change for his button, writhed vainly
on his stool. All this, of course, was
for the supposed benefit of tho house,
and wholly ut the loss of the customer,
not less than twenty certs' worth Of
whose time was sacrificed to this beau.
