Fort Scott special: A farmer named
W. H. Young, who is reputed to be
worth $4,000, was arrested charged
with cruelty and brutally beating his
wife with an iron poker. Six weeks ago
Young beat his wife over the head with
an iron poker, breaking her jaw and
causing a confusion on the head and
bruises all over the body. The broken
jaw has become putrid and is slushing
away, the putrid matter entering the
throat. When the fend knocked her
senseless with the poker, and while she
lay on the floor, he rammed the poker
into her mouth and twisted it round
and round. How long the woman re-
NAMED insensible is not known. Her
dying confession is the only evidence
the state is as yet able to obtain. The
brute was released from the county Jail
on a bond of $4,000. Immediately
thereafter, with dire threats, he fastened
to find County Attorney Boyle, and
with fearful oath he swore he would
kill him on sight. Just before he
reached the Office of Attorney Boyle, the
sheriff and trusty deputy, with point.
ed six-shooters, ran him back to the
county jail, where he is now incarcerated
upon the charge Of murder, without
bail. A search was made at his house
by the sheriff and in the cellar were
found forty barrels of cider and keg
Of whisky. Behind the door of his bed
room were found two axes and shot
gun loaded with six inches of powder,
buckshot and nails, together with two
loaded reyOlyers. He is a desperate
man and has lived desperate life.

THE ice-boat, as is well known to
those who have used it, can be made
to travel at a speed almost equal to
that of the fastest locomotive. but it
is dependent entirely upon the wind.
A Poughkeepsie inventor, Mr.. Null
rey, has devised an ice locomotive, or,
ice-boat, which will make it.independ-
ent of the wind. The boat he uses
is of the ordinary ice-boat form, is
provided with small boiler carrying
$50 pounds pressure of steam, and a
small engine working on a pair OF
cOgged drivers. Some experiments
with this vehicle made on the Hud-
son River just before the breaking up
of the ice were fairly successful.

KANSAS RAILROADS

Leavenworth Times: The Missouri
Pacific compromised with the Ringing
circus, paying the company $22, 800 on
account of the accident on the Central
Branch.
Atchison.- Phillip Vennidia, bridge
carpenter on the Central Branch railroad.
whose home was in Atchison, was killed
at Clifton. His head was accidentally
caught between two heavy springers
and crushed in such manner that he
died in fifteen minutes. Vinnedia was
a widower and leaves daughter. His
remains were brought here for burial.
Kansas City Gazette: The Union
Pacific is engaged in very clever
scheme. The head clerk for the master
mechanic of the road received check
for S116.66, being his damages fol-
property he was compelled to abandon
in Brookville when the round house was
removed to Junction City. The re-
moval of the end of the division to
Junction City caused many of the en-
ployes to sacrifice much on their homes
at Brookville< and Wamego, and the
company, in making some allowances.
is doing very handsome thing.
Atchison special: The Kansas freight
rate controversy is on trial in the dis
trict court in Atchison county. 1t il

ary INDUCTION granted by the Atchisor
court restraining the railroad commits
sioners of Kansas from putting into eff.
feet their freight order of March 5, af.
fecting rates on sugar, canned goods
beans and coffee. The case has attracted
more prominent attorneys and business
men of Kansas than any case ever tried
here. In the absence of the attorney
general the railroad commissioners rep
resent themselves. All the interior
wholesale grocers have representatives
and attorneys present. The Missouri
wholesale grocers are present with their
legal representatives, and the Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island railroads are
also represented by attorneys. The case
may last several days.
The Santa Fe road furnished the Kan.
sas delegation and friends for their pill
grimage to Chicago. The train con-
sisted of a baggage, chair and parlo1
cars, six sleepers and dining car, and
General Manager Robinson's private
car, the latter for the delegation, where
they received and entertained friends en-
route. This makes train Of twelve
cars, which was handled by one Of the
1O0-ton compound engines. In fact.
in all appointments it is unequalled
by any train entering Chicago before
or during the national convention,
and to those who are familiar with
the celebrated Golden Gate Special"
operated by the Pennsylvania company.
it can be said that in every detail the
train in question is equal to that of the
latter road. The official train, on q
special schedule, left Wichita and
Hutchinson at II o'clock Saturday
morning, reaching Kansas City at 2
o'clock that evening, and Chicago the
next morniug; all meals being served
while flying across the country. This is

The Sioux City Journal thinks one
result of the recent difficulty in John
son County. Wyoming, will be that
'tbe big ranchmen must CO." It says
they were first on the scene and par.
celed out among themselves immense
ranges, which long occupancy caused
them to feel they owned, though not
undertaking to acquire the owner
ship. Then the small settler came
on the scene, and did so in consider
able numbers. He wanted the farm
which Uncle Sam had provided for
him under the Homestead law. He
picked out precisely the quarter Sec
tiOn which the big raDchman did not
want him to have, the land next to
streams of water, and Immediately
put up wire fence. The ranchman
or his agents undertook to drive him
out. They cut his wires and out.
ragged him in other ways, but he
mas remained ana gained strength.
Where he was not cultivator of the
soil he was the proprietor Of small
herd of cattle, and there again he
came into conflict with the big men.
This may help to explain the SYM
pathy which the settlers and small
cattle-Owners are stated to have with
the thieves, but, as intimated else
where, there may be some mistake
about this. Probably some of the
big ranchmen have been domineering,
but that does not excuse robbery,
still less murder, and it now seems
that a respectable majority of the
residents Of johnson County take
this view of the situation.

THE reported illness of Anna Dick
inson, which, it is intimated, may
terminate in death, is but the melan-
choly outcome of disappointment,
anxiety and, doubtless, slow and liz
sidious brain decay. Miss Dickinson,
having accomplished a phenomenal
success on the platform twenty-five
years ago. could not get over the con-
viction that she might transfer her
triumphs to the stage. Barred by
physical limitations from playing
either juvenile or heroic female
parts, she felt obliged to undertake
romantic male characters from which,
in her crude impersonation, it was
impossible to detach an incongruity
fatal to her ambition. The Republi-
can party, which claimed to have
done all of value in this country since
the war, owed something, in the opin-
ion of Miss Dickinson, to her efforts
in behalf of some of its candidates.
Belief that she was treated with in
gratitude by those to whom she nat
urally looked for help in her declining
days added materially to her detected
mental condition. Two years ago she
charged her sister and friends with
cOnspiring against her interests and
even against her life. No charge
could be more unfounded. Her clos
ing days are being soothed with as
much kindness as it is possible for her
to enjoy.
