The Cuban Relief has been halted
by the refusal of the House Com
mittee to accept the Senate resolu-
ton. The House proposed a new
one, which was not so good as the
old, because it said too much, and put
that ON the wrong grounds. We
hope Congress will extricate itself
from the ridiculous and unsatisfac-
tory position it now occupies ON this
question.

county and into Marshall 1t crossed
the Blue river at the junction of The
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific
railroads and passed near the town of
Axtell.

vator was completely wrecked. Box
cars were lifted from the track and
carried long distance. While several

follows: Seneca, 1000; Sabetha, $50;
Axtell, $50; Baileyville, $50; Frank
fort, 1850; Oneida, 300.
