him distinguish himself. He
arrived and found his son in the

him in gold eyeglasses and yell

THE House Committee en- In
terstate and Foreign Commerce
has authorized Representative
0'Neill of Missouri, to report
favorably a bill to promote the
safety of railway employees and
passengers. 1t requires locomo-
tises to be equipped with power
breakes sufficient to control q
train. Every new locomotive
after July 1898 must be equipped
and after July 1895 all locoTpo-
tives. After July 1885 all new
cars or old cars sent to the shops
for repairs, must be equipped
with automatic couplers, and af-
ter July 1898 all cars must be so
equipped After July 1895, all
new cars (and after July 1898,
all cars must be provided with
continuous brakes, to be oper-
ated by the locomotive. In
July 1898, every common car
rier shall file with the Inter
state Commerce Commission a
statement stating the automatic
coupler which it prefers. If any
coupler receives 75 per cent of
the votes, it shall be adopted as
the standard automatic coupler.
If no coupler receives this per-
centage the commission shall,
within six months, designate a
standard automatic coupler.

Truth Handled CareIessIy.

"That a free people should
cast a free vote and have it hon
estly recorded and returned is
the dream and determination
OF the Republican party and the
despair and nightmare Of the
Democrat. II is the pride of
the Republican party that il
never yet has committed an
assault upon the freedom Of the
ballot.
Temporary Chairman Fassett
gave utterance, among other
misleading statements, to the
above in his address before the
Minneapolis convention tt is
a plain case of handling 18th
in a very careless mannel Mr..
Fassett knows that his lharge
against the Democratic party
and laudation of the Republi-
can party in this quotation are
false. He cannot be ignorant
of the facb that one of the Re-
publican Presidents oee ipied
that position when the eOple
had declared by their b dots
that he was not entitled to it
He is also aware of the fact that
the Republican party has often
over-ridden the will of the peo-
pie by the power of money and
other dark methods,
The Democratic party believe
that necessity exists for ballot
reform as much as for tariff re-
form, but it don't believe in the
fraudulent kind ofballot reform
known as the Force bill, which
is only a dodge to deceive the
unthinking and augment the
corruption that already exists
in elections.
If Mr.. Fassett were to correct
the closing sentencein the above
clipping from his speech in con-
sonance with the history If the
Republican party, it would be
SO altered that it would be be-
yond recognition.

HUGGED TO HER BREAST
so THE LOVED LITTLE BA6f
WILL LIVE,
But the Mother and Others of the Family
Freeze to Death-Oklahoma Tales
of Destitution.
Special to the Gazette.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. 29.-The report of
one of the most horrible cases of destitu-
ton and suffering on record comes to this
city from the Pottowatomie reservation.
When the lands were opened, r. V. Bur-
nett and family, consisting of his
wife and three children and his brother,
went into the Pottowatomie reserva-
ton from the Chickasaw country, having
come there from Southern Missouri They
received claim, but being poor and with
out food or shelter, they suffered much.
Finally they determined to go to some town,
and started in a wagon. They started, but
being overtaken by the recent biz
zard, took refuge in an old
shed. Here they were all taken with
Ia grippe J and clay without covering or
fire for several days. When passers-by dis
covered them, the father was dead. The
mother and children were taken to a farm
house and everything possible done for
them, but the mother died in a few hours.
The two older children, whose limbs
and vitals were frozen, soon followed.
The baby, whom the mother held to her
breast, and had wrapped in her own clothes,
still lives, but suffers terribly. The brother,
who is man grown, was not SO badly
frozen, and will live, but his reason is gone.
Many other cases of restitution and
suffering. are reported from the new lands,
but none so bad as this.

Want a Dfrsrsntls1.

The lines in the Western passenger asso-
citation are still struggling with the ques-
ton Of differential on Buffalo, and the
difference of opinion as to which is the
weaker lines has not yet been determined,
hence the next rate sheet will still give the
rate from Missouri river gateways to Buff
falo, via either st. Louis or Chicago, at
$3.50.
To illustrate: The rate to Buffalo is
shown by the Missouri river rate sheet to
be S23. so. The regular rate TO Chicago is
$40, and from there to Buffalo $3.50. Now
east of Chicago differentlal is allowed the
Erie and Nickle Plate of $3.50, and the Ca
madam lines, except the Michigan Central,
q difTerential of 81. thus making the lowest
rate to Buffalo from Chicago sic. A pas
senger, therefore, by purchasing a local
ticket from Missouri river points to Chi
cago at $40, and by availing himself Of the
SD rate to Buffalo, can obtain rate clear
through of S22 instead of $3.50, the price
he would have to pay for it in these cities.
AS a consequence most of the ticketing is
being done by way of Chicago and the ST.
Louis lines are getting left A differential
to the weaker lines east of st. Louis would
obviate this, and this is what is asked.
