COLUMBIAN STAMP COLLECTORS
BUSY.

That blessings brighten as they
take their flight is one OF the estab-
lished truths OF the universe and 1t is
exempli6ed by the increasing aztec
ton shown for the long-abused Co.
lumbar stamp, since it is announc-
ed that the supply is running out.
To be sure there are still lew car
loads of different varieties IN the
vaults OF the Postoffice Department,
but the supply will probably be ex-
hausted by Jan. 1, so the collectors
are getting in their work and secur-
ing specimens before it is too late;
The other day a collector walked
into the city postofhce and asked tor
a FIVE, three, and two-dollar CO.
lumbar stamp, remarking that he
wanted them to complete the set he
was getting together. Then ne
wanted to know if the stamp clerk
at the window would not cancel
them for him before he left, as they
were more valuable when cancelled
The clerk politely assured the pur-
chaser that it was against the law
to cancel the stamps before they
passed through the Office, but SAID
if he would address an envelope to
himself and put the stamps on 1t
they would go through the regular
course of handling and be cancelled
So the collector addressed an enve
lone to himself at his hotel and put
ting his $40 worth of stamps on II
dropped it in the slot Washington

CoAsTING ACCIDENTS.
A Number of Limbs Fractured on Four
tcenth street Last Night.

A Number of Limbs Fractured on Four
tcenth street Last Night.
Fourte enth street Is an admirable
place for coasting, and last night from
frequent use of the street by sleds the
surface was,,as smooth as glass. Coasting
is certainly healthful and celebrating
sport, but that it is attended with danger
was demonstrated by the number OF
accidents which happened last night. II
the weather keeps up few days longer
Fourteenth street will furnish plenty OF
business for the physicians and drug
gists, and judging by the recklessness
of some of the people on the track, for
the undertakers as well. There were
several hundred people out last night,
and every conceivable style and size OF
sled was pressed into service TO carry
the boys and girls over the smooth sur
face.
About nine o'clock Owen Sullivan
started down the grade on big "bob'
sled with four other young men. The
sled gained quite a speed and became
unmanageable, finally throwing all the
occupants off in a heap. All OF them
were more or less bruised and scratched
up. Sullivan was carried TO the office
OF DR.. Reed Baird, and afterward re-
moved to his home at 1920 Jacob street,
where DR.. j. II. Pipes rendered the
necessary surgical aid. Both bones In
his left leg below the knee were badly
fractured, and the skin lascerated. 1t
IS also reported that two others on the
sled sustained fractures Of bones in
their legs, but this could not be veri-
fed.
Some time during the evening a young
man named Henry Gruber while coast
ing on the street, had one OF his legs
fractured, and had to be removed to mis-
home.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock, Ed. Bond, a
young man living on the Island, came
down Fourteenth street to Market, and
struck lamp-post. He was thrown
violently from the sled, and sustained
severe injuries to his left leg. He was
carried into Schnepf's drug store, and
DR.. Ridgeway dressed his wounds. No
bones were broken, but his limb was
b ably bruised and cut.
Some time during the evening lady
named Mrs. Patrick Connan, who lives
in the East End, while walking down
Fourteenth street, on her way to
church, slipped on the icy surface Of
the street and fell, sustaining bad
fracture of one Of her arms. She was
taken to her home, where DR.. Robert
Reed reduced the fracture.
The above were the only serious &C
cidents reported on Fourteenth street
last night, but there were many other
minor mishaps. One young lady, whose
name could not be learned, had her
hand run over by sled and the fingers
badly mashed, and there were score
of collisions and narrow escapes.

Business Men Trying to Bring About .

PIrTsBCRG, Kan, July SO.-At meet
ing of business men here last night a
committee of five was appointed to meet
the operators and miners and attempt
to secure a settlement of the strike.
ing the operators in building stockades
and importing the blacks from the
south, but were tabled pending the re-
suit of the committees efforts.
The committee decided to carry on in
secret its efforts to bring miners and
operators together. Operators will
listen to a proposition to settle if the
miners will not insist ,upOn acting
through their executive board and on
this point there will probably be a dis
agreement, as the miners want t. 3
together. The members of the COM
mittee are among the strongest bust
ness men in the city, Sam Barrett. 7.
P. Waskey, u. T. Boaz. H. c. Willard
and Robert Rabyn.
Several of the small operators have
notified the striking miners that they
will meet with them Monday with a
view to resuming work. = is the gen
eral belief that the miners will gladly
consider any proposition which seems
to offer fair solution of the present
troubles.
The miners who have returned to
work have not been molested and it is
claimed that many more will go to
work next week.
The talk of bringing proceedings in
the courts to get the negroes out of the
stockades has been given up, though G.
C. Clemens, the Topeka agitator. is
planning legal proceedings to bring the
companies into conrt.
The strikers are preparing to hold a
big rally near the Keith & Perry stock
ade. They say they will have 1000
men here from Scammon, Pittsburg
and the surrounding country. To-mor-
row the Pittsburg miners will hold a
camp meeting on the prairies near the
Litchfield stockade. Both meetings
will be preceded by parades with brass
bands and runaway negroes in the
leads

THE HORN FLY.
Farmers Complain of . New Cattle Pest
with Beastly Habits.

Farmers Complain of New Cattle Pest
with Beastly Habits.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 2S.-Kansas
farmers are complaining of a new pest
known as the horn fly, SO called from
its habit of resting on the horns of cat
tie, from whence it moves to various
parts of the body, piercing the skin
with its serrate proboscis and sucking
the animals blood. Its habits are not
only annoying but exceedingly harm
full. The pest was unknown here a
year ago, but is now one of the most
abundant and hurtful of the fly species.
Prof. Kellogg, of the State university,
says it is native of Europe,
and was probably introduced into
America with a shipment of cattle from
France. 1t was first observed in New
Jersey in September, 1887: in October,
1883, it was in Maryland: in 1889 it had
travelled south and west over Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia, and in 1890 it
was wonderfully active, appearing in
Kentucky. BY the end of 1891 it got as
far north as New York and west tc
Ohio, south to Florida and Mississippi.
In 1892 it was noticed in Illinois, and is
now found in Kansas and other west
ern states. An effort will be made to
prevent further spread of the pest by
the same process now used in eXter-
chinch bugs.

WORLDS FAIR RATE.
The Round Trip Put Down to S13 from
the Missouri River.

The Round Trip Put Down to Sl3 from
the Missouri River.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2S.-After a
meeting of innumerable days, which
has given all the general passenger
agents abundant time to see how
worlds fair business was progress
ing, likewise the worlds fair. an
agreement on rates has at last been
reached. OF course it is different
from what was expected, and of course
it is not quite as low: and of course,
also, without any reflections, it leaves
a chance for the broker to make some
thing, until it is decided which road
will be especially patronized by this
alert fraternity, after which the one
way rate will be made just half the
round fare trip.
In brief. the rate made for Kansas
City was one fare for the round trip
plus 4 5O-cent arbitrary, thus making
the round trip s13, and one way rate
of 1926 on a $3.50. which will give the
brokers the same chance to handle the
business as it did when on S17.5O round
trip basis the one way rate was $3.50
