KANSAS RAILRoADING.

The Santa Fe has had large part
of the business with the shipments of
the horses coming to the Topeka race
meeting.
Emporia Republican: The ticket agent
at the Santa Fe was kept busy all day
selling tickets to all parts of the state,
to the Adventists who have been in the
city for ten days attending the camp
meeting.
The petitions from a number of men
at Emporia asking to be reinstated
have been returned to them by the Santa
Fe officials, declining to take any ac-
tion in the matter. The men went out
on the strike.
Topeka Journal: Twenty-Five new
men were put on at the Santa Fe shops
last week. It is understood that they
are all or nearly all old employees, and
that many of them are members of the
A. r. o., but nothing was said about
that.
AS consequence of the many appli-
cations to the management, two ma
chinists who went out on the recent
strike at Argentine have been placed at
work. The men who went out there are
feeling very jubilant, and think this is
valuable concession on the part of the
company.
The Santa Fe land department has
received from E. J. Pyle at Garden City,
who is the local agent of the department
there, box containing the products of
Finney county, raised under irrigation.
This collection, which is composed of
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, corn, cab
bage, beets. etc, will be prepared in the
shape of an exhibit, and in addition to-
the box Of fine fruits will be sent to the
Food and Health exposition at Boston,
which will be in session October to %.
When the Kansas City and North
western road was built the company
proposed to run trains between Kansas
City and Leavenworth every two hours.
Upon those representations the company
received a right of way through several
farms in Leayenworth county without
condemnation proceedings. After the
road was built the company operated but
one train day over the line and is now
running freight train only. Petitions
are being circulated along the road and
are being very generally signed by all the
residents, requesting the railroad COM
missioners to compel the company to
reinstate the trains.

Santa Fe Train Robbers.

MEMPHIS, Mo, September 2l.-The two
captured train robbers. Lincoln Overfield
and Charles Abrams. are in jall here await
ing the action of the grand jury. Overfield.
beyond admitting that he was present at the
scene of the attempted robbery. refuses to
talk. He lies IN his bed with his head COW
cred and crying most of the time.
Charles Abrams the wounded robber
talks more freely, and his statement places
Informer Mcdaniel in an unenviable light,
if true. He says that Mcdaniel was the one
TO plan the robbery and coaXed the others
into it.
He says the first proposition came from
Mcdaniel, who had to use considerable per-
sussion to get the Others into the enterprise.
Abrams is no better and there is no hope of
his recovery.

Liable on His Bond.

WICHITA, KAN, Septem Der 22.-In this
United States circuit court here Judge Will
Iiams gave judgment for 5000 against D.
NJ. Holiday. ex-sherif of Harper county,
and his bondsmen for failure to levy on
property against which an execution had
been issued. The plaintiffs in the case took
out an execution, but the defendants were
brothers of the sheriff, and the latter de-
clared his inability to find any property to
levy on, and as a consequence of his negli-
gence the plaintiffs lost the opportunity to
secure the amount of their claim, which, to-
gether with costs, the ex-sherlff and his
bondsmen will now have to make good.

South Carolina Democrats.

The South Carolina democratic state con-
vention named a full Tillmauite ticket.
The platform adopted indorses the Ocala
platform, as we'll as the Chicago one; de-
mands the free coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1. and indorses the dispensary law
as the best solution of the dispensary ques-
tion. One section of the platform, as at
first drawn. which denounced President
Cleveland for failing to carry out the
pledges of the party and for prostituting
congress by patrc mage to carry out his pol
icy, was finally killed and no mention of the
president or the national administration
was made.
The Charleston delegation tried hard to
get the convention to come out squarely on
the democratic platform and denounce pop
ulism, but their efforts were defeated by an
overwhel ming vote.

W. S. Hebron, ex-postmaster at Kinsley,
was sentenced in the United States court at
Wichita to eighteen months in the peniten-
tiary and to pay fine of $500. for bez-
sZling government funds.
The sentence previously given had been
suspended to give him chance to REIN burse
the government. and he told the court he
had been trying to do this by making
speeches on tla silver question. Judge Will
liams told him making political speeches
was a poor way to earn money.

Must Mark Tickets Right.

LEAvENwoRTH. Kan. September 26.-In
the district court here Judge Myers rendered
his decision in the Bleakley Taylor contest
case, reversing the decision of the special
court of contest, which declared Mr.. Taylor,
democrat, to have been elected county treas
urer.
Judge Myers ground for reversing the de-
cision of the contest court is that the Kan
sas Australian ballot law is almost an exact
copy of the Iowa Australian ballot law. In
other words the court holds that the cross
mark must be placed in the square at the
left of the name of the candidate to be voted
for, and if placed in any other place may
not be counted for anybody.

Fifty Prople Were Killed.

The tornado which visited Iowa on the
night of Septem ber 21 swept not only valua-
BILE property out of existence, but number
of lives approximated at this writing as at
least fifty persons. This is a conservative
figure, when it Is taken into consideration

swath it cut
All telegraph communication was cut off
and the news is tardy in arriving.
The storm seems to have travelled from
the southwest to the northeast. 1t appears
that it gathered its force south of EN- etts-
burg, then crossed the /. d d. division of
the Milwaukee Eastern at Emmettsburg.
1t IS then heard of north of Wesley, then
in Lincoln township, where 1t crossed the l.
& D. division mile north Of Grafton, thence
speeding straight north to Leroy and Spring
Valley. Usage also fearfully felt its terrific
force. At Emmettsburg the amphitheater
at the fair grounds was wrecked, also one
residence dwelling. Several are reported
injured. Four miles north of Wesley great
destruction was wrought.
At Cylinder the whole family of Alexander
Coleman, consisting of himself, wife and
two children, were killed. About ten other
persons were injured. Dwellings were de-
molished, and large number of outbuild-
ings were laid low. Reports say there we're
nine killed in the vicinity of Cylinder and
Emmettsburg. Three miles north of Wes-
ley, J. Bingham's house was overturned and
set on fire. The inmates had narrow es-
cape. The killed in this vicinity are:
M. Caster ana wife, J. W. Bingham, Mrs
Tweed, two children of Thomas Tweed, M.
w. Scheppe and two children, Fred French
and two children, infants of Mr.. and Mrs.

VS.. A. B. Kirk wood, of Crawford county,
which declares the new law governing the
mining and weighing of coal in Kansas un-
constitutional. and dismissed the defendant
This is the first decision of this law and it
was obtained by the Wier Coal company
who openly violated the law in order to test
its constitutionality. The law was an out
growth of the complaints of the great min
ers strike last year.
1t was passed in the interest of the miners
and the decision means much to them. Its
effect was to compel the coal companies to
weigh the coal before screening, and it is

ropeka,s View Court House.

The ceremony of laying the cornerstone
of the new Shawnee county court house was
a gala day in Topeka. A perfect Kansas
day assured tho successful fulfllment of the
plans made for the event by the county com.
mlssloners and the Masonic bodies who had
it in charge.
The procession started from Tenth and
Kansas avenue shortly after the appointed
time, 2:3O O'Clock, and marched directly to
the court house site at Fifth and Van Buren,

the grand marshal. The police force and
Marshalfs band headed the procession, fol-
lowed by all the Masonic bodies in the city

remainder of the procession. The Dispatch
band and Topeka drum corps were in line
The court house has been completed to
the top of the basement floor, which Is twelve
feet above the ground. The entire floor was
planked over for the occasion with heavy
timber, and chairs for 300 people on top
Ropes were stretched about the court house
site to keep the crowd away until after the
arrival of the procession. Then the ropes
we're withdrawn and the crowd was allowed
to close in as tightly as it chose, and some
what tighter. No horses or carriages were
allowed within block of the court house.
The cornerstone was placed at a point
facing both south and east, at the base of
the first story. The stone is a beautiful
block of polished granite.
The box, of which the cornerstone is the
receptacle is a copper one, 8x8x18 inches. 1t
contained the latest copies of every periodi-
cal published in the county, as nearly as
they could be secured.

court house, the Masons and Marshalls band
marched to the First Christian church, on
Topeka avenue between Sixth and Seventh
streets, and laid cornerstone there with
the same rites as those at the court house.
