WHY INGALLS, DON'T WANT It
Some Rather Interesting Facts Re-
garding the Kansas
SenatOrshlp.
Chapter Of Incidents ThatIWill Furnish
Food For the Super
stitiOus.

New YORK, Oct. ia dispatch to
the World from Topeka says: John J,
Ingalls, would instantly become the lead.
ing republican candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Senator Martin
whose term will expire March 3 next
would he accept, but he continues to
say he is not candidate-"not now.'
1t is said there is a vein of superstition
in Ingalls, and he considers the senator
ship in which the next vacancy occurs
unlucky. 1t is believed that he will be
candidate for the other senatorship,
now held by Senator PETER, whose term
will expire March 3. 1897.
Mr.. ingalls, alleged belief finds some
corroboration in the history of the sena-
torship. First there was Jim Lane. He
shot himself. Edmund G. Ross was ap-
pointed to succeed him. Misfortune has
followed Ross ever since and he has now
lost his last possession, little weekly
newspaper at Deming, N. M.
hicAouOCI SdluWcl WAS tl6CIeu 10 6uC-
ceed Ross, but was compelled to resign
under charges Of bribery. Robert Cro-
zier was appointed to succeed Caldwell,
but the next legislature repudiated him
and chose James Harvey. He was not
a success and died last July.
OPreston B. Plumb, who succeeded
Harvey, was the only successful senator
in the line of succession, and his sudden
death in the zenith of his coreer came
like tragedy to Kansas.
Bishop W. Perkins was appointed to
the vacancy, and was turned out by the
legislature for the present senator,
John Martin, the only democrat in the
line. Popullsts helped elect him, and
they are now opposed to him for sup
porting Cleveland. Mr.. Martins favorite
son has just died, and he is heart
broken.
Perhaps after all ex-senator Ingalls,
is right in considering this senatorship
a "hoodoo,"

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. IA special to

WASH says: A dust explosion occurred

dead and ten are severely burned, two

The EquinOxes,


Tho Dist of March and the 2lst OF
September are days known by the spec
ial appellatioE Of the Equinoxes. This
is because the relative position of the
earth and sun are such that the great
luminary on those days crosses the
celestial equator, which is a great circle
in the heavens (of course imaginary cor
responding to the equator upon the
earth. At the vernal equinox (March)
the sun passes from south to north, and
at the autumnal equinox in the opposite
direction. 1t is widely spread popular
notion that at these periods the most
severe storms occur. The fact is that
during a period Of fourteen years obser-
vation in England, but of forty.five
severe storms in March, not one occurred
on the 2lst, and out Of eighteen storms
in September only one occurred on the
2lst. Popular opinion, however, on
many subjects is more reliable than in
this case, and especially do people know
whereof they affirm when they speak of
the railroads on which they prefer to
travel. The continued popular favor
long extended to The Burlington Route,
parti :ularly during the past year, when
it took five million people to the Worlds
Fair, is not based on fancy, but ON the
solid facts of extensive mileage, superb
equipment, safety of operation, and
courtesy to travellers. For tickets, maps,

Operator, Dies of His Wounds
at Poplar.
After Six Weeks of Suffering he
Becomes the Victim Of an
Assassin.

At Poplar River Indian agency,
August 26, Fred Butler, night telegraph
operator, was shot by Whit Wright, a

that have finally caused his death. A
dance was in progress in a hall at the

Gus and quarrelsome. Wright, about l
o'clock in the morning, started to leave
the hall. He claims that Butler fol-
lowed him with drawn knife. Wright
drew his revolver and fred twice, the
second time striking Butler in the back
of the neck. Other witnesses to
the affair claim that Wright, who cher
ished bitter enmity for Butler, sneaked
up behind Butler and fred. Wright
was examined before an United States
commissioner and was held to await the
action Of the federal grand jury ON a
charge Of assault with deadly weapon.
He was taken to the provisional capital
and confined in the county jail.
Sunday Butler died. An important
witness was wanted by the government
and the fact Of the death was kept quiet
until the witness who. it was feared,
would be reluctant to appear, was &C.
cured.
Mr.. Butler was % years Of age and had
been at the agency for the last two years,
where he was very popular with all who
knew him. He has no relatives in the
state.

How 1t Was Done.

WASHINGTON, Oct 13--Seven mer
composed the gang that held up the
north bound express train on the Rich.
mond, Fredericksburg &Potomac railroad
at Qpantico last night. Their demand
for the way bill when the express mes.
senger declared the safe was empty, and
the caution they gave the fireman about
disconnecting the air brake tubes when
he uncoupled the engine on their de-
mand show that some members of the
gang were railroad hands. Besides, after
the engine was uncoupled it was boarded
by the robbers and run by them to a
point near Whitewater station, q short
distance from the scene Of the hold
up, where they abandoned and sent
it ahead, running wild. Express
Messenger Crutchfield thinks the booty
secured S150,000 or more. He gave this
account Of the robbery: "But one rob-
Der entered the car. He was heavy built
and dressed like farmer, although he
seemed to thoroughly understand the
express business. He had red hand
kerchief over the lower part of his face.
When the train was stopped opened
the door of my car. The robber fred at

yelled. Then he threw stick of dyna-
