Wind and Sand Storm Impeded Traffic and
Killed Stock.
DENVER, APPS Debated travellers from
the east report that the storm through
Kansas was the worst ever known in that
section. Many of the passenger trains
now more than AZ hours late are bat
thing with snow and sand on the prairie.
Supt Bogard of the Union Pacific
with headquarters at Cheyenne Wells,
has large force of men cleaning the
tracks
In places within so or rs miles of Den
yer the snow was found in cuts from so
to 40 feet deep, being over the
tops of telegraph poles in some
instances. Rock Island experienced
more trouble perhaps, than any
other line The first train from the east
over this road in sixty hours arrived to-
day. The Missouri Pacific, the Kansas
Pacific division of the Union Pacific and
the Santa Fe were also much hampered.
Trains are getting through on all the
roads today. Reports from northern
Colorado and Wyoming are to the effect
that the wind. and sand storm was SO
fierce that the men at work cleaning the
way were obliged to wear coverings for
their faces, the sand cutting even through
the cloth like a knife and decorating the
shovelers in a horrible fashion.
The loss of range stock in some por-
tons of eastern Colorado, it is said, will
amount to 20 per cent of the total Many
cattle drifted into Hugo, Colo, and per-
ished, which had been driven before the
wind, from the north over 100 miles.

by Attorney E D. McKeever to discharge
the receiver for the Walker building,
next door to the National hotel. Mr..
McKeever, on behalf of the owners of

MR.. CHALLENOR'S PULL
A Story That May Throw Light on
His Appointment
PROVIDED THE STORY IS TRUE.

How Two Young People Looked Out
for Their Mutual Friend - Who
WOuId Blame Them7
If the latest political story is true Miss
Grace Morrill, was the power behind the
throne which secured the appointment
of John England Challenor, late subject
of Queen Victoria, to the position of state
accountant.
Mr.. John England Challenor is per-
sonal friend of Mr. Charles Dixon of
Kansas City, Kansas. the young com.
mission merchant to whom Miss Morrill,
is engaged to be married and according
to this latest story, Mr.. Dixon enlisted
Miss MorrilPs influence in behalf of his
friend.
Miss Morrill, is a success as politician
if the story is true, and no one will blame
her for influencing her indulgent papa
in behalf of her friends.
A Topeka woman who formerly lived
in Kansas City, says Mr.. Challenor is a
familiar figure in that city as a horse
man. He rides a dun colored cob with
high top boots to match, and the name
and tail of his roadster are kept trim
med according to the latest London
fashion.

ASSISTANT CITYATTORNEY
Mr.. Bird Appoints L. III. Greenwood to
Succeed Otis Hungate.

The new city attorney, w. a. S. Bird,
has made a good selection in naming L
II Greenwood for his assistant. Mr.
Greenwood assumed his office today by
succeeding Otis Hungate as prosecutor
at the police court
Mr. Greenwood. is a graduate of Wash
burn college and has been practicing
law in Topeka for three years. He did
not seek, the office, but a number of the
young Republicans recommended him
and Mr.. Bird was glad to make the
choice. The only other candidate for
the place was W. L Jamison, the colored
member of the Topeka bar and JUS
tice of the peace. The place pays $50 a
month.

HoUsEHoLDER's STRUGGLE
To Maintain Himself Upon the Board of
Charities.

Senator n. A. Householder, through
his attorney Judge W. c. Webb, applied
this morning to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel Governor
Morrill, to rescind or revoke his order
suspending Senator Householder from
the state board of charities.
In his petition Senator Householder
says first, that he is not guilty, and then
says that this office is a constitutional
one and that the governor has no power
to investigate or suspend him. This
power, he says, rests alone with the leg
islature, through impeachment by the
house and suspension by the senate.
An alternative writ of mandamus was
issued, made returnable April 81, so that
Governor Morrill, will have lots of time
to make up his mind what he wants
tn do

DIR. MENNINGER INELIGIBLE.
One Member of the State Board of
Health Unqualified.


Health Unqualified.
Governor Morrill's attention is to be
called to the fact that DR. F. c. Men
ringer. one of the present members of
the state board of health, is not legally
entitled to seat on that board.
The state law creating the state board
of health, as shown by paragraph 6026
of the General Statutes of 1889, express
ly states that physicians must have been
regularly engaged in the practice of
their profession at least seven years be-
fore being eligible to membership on
this board.
DIR. Menninger did not graduate from
a medical college until 1889 and has only
been practicing physician five years. as
shown by the registration of the physi-
clans of 1he state in the report of the
secretary Of the board of health.
This matter has been talked about in
state house circles and it is likely that
the governor will make an appointment
to succeed DR.. Menninger in few days.
