Passengers From the Land Of Flowers
Buried in Snowdrifts.

The Santa Fe east bound trains,
which We're delayed by the terrific
snow storm in Colorado and New Mex
leo. passed through Topeka this morn
ing. Three trains from Los Angeles
arrived as q consolidated train at u. As.
Passengers on the delayed trains re-
port the storm to have been unusually
severe. Persons who are acquainted
with New Mexico say that it was by
far the most severe storm experienced
in that territory since the Santa re
road was built in 1879. A heavy fall
of wet snow, accompanied by a wind
blowing at a velocity Of 20 miles an
hour produced storm which it was
dangerous to venture out in.
Traffic was entirely blocked east Of
Ration, and two of the limited trains
and one No. . was stalled at that sta
ton. During the storm Saturday night
and all day Sunday the Pullman pas
sengers of the limited trains remained
in the cars and took their meals on the
dining car Chair car and coach pas
sengers removed to the hotels The
snow banked on the tops of the cars
and on the steps. and made it almost
impossible to open the car doors
Early Monday morning, after the
abatement of the storm, one large rO-
tary ploW and four wedge ploWs were
started over the line to clear the
tracks. The rotary pillow was used on
the track over the Ration mountains
between Trinidad. Col, and Ration, N
NJ In the deep cuts snow was banked
places had to be shoveled to a consid-
cradle debth before the pillow could be
used. In clearing out the cuts the snow
was shOVeled off in the form of steps,
the men on the lower step throwing it
en- the step above him and so on When
the rotary pillow, propelled by several
engines, struck a snow bank, the snow
would be thrown to a considerable dis
lance and to a height of from 20 to 40
feet Among the passengers on the
trains was Howell J ones of Topeka.
Geo r1-~ 20 rrTT nHnrf4
We're entirely cleared, and traffic was
resumed. Today the weather in that
portion Of the country is clear and
pleasant and the snow is disappearing
rapidly.

PENIS OLD ELM.
Gov. Hastings Plants a Shoot From a
Famous Old Tree.

Philadelphia. ADrn 14-Governor
Hastings planted on the campus Of the
University Of Pennsylvania today
shoot from the old elm tree under
which William Penn made q treaty
with the Indians. The planting was
part Of the ArbOr day programme.
The old elm stood on the banks of
the Delaware river in this city until
1910. when it was blown down. Later
the ground on which the tree had stood
came into possession of the ancestors
Of General Paul "a. oliver of Wilkes
barre Here they found a shoot which
had sprung up where the old tree stood
and this they removed to farm at
Bay Ridge, n. Y, where it grew for
so years.
Oliver then removed the elm to his
place on the Wilkesbarre mountain.
and it was 2 shoot from this tree that
Governor Hastings planted today.

Holton Tribune: The question con-
fronting the voters of Kansas is not
one Of the advisabiity or wisdom of the
resubmission of thep prohibition question
but one of broader and deeper inter
est to society. 1t is one of good govern
ment. Shall the rising generation be
taught respect and obedience to law, or
shall the spirit Of anarchy be engen-
dered by fragrant examples of dis
obedience, yes. even defiance Of gov
ernmental authority2 These are the
questions before US. It IS time the peo-
pie who want to see society protected
against vice and crime were entering
an emphatic protest against the laxity
Of the execution of the law. Every
man who holds a position Of trust un-
der the laws Of the state should be
made to feel that unless he carries out
the obligations of his oath. he viii be
supplanted at the first opportunity. Of
fee holding is becoming too much of
reward for chicanery and duplicity,
while it should be regarded as a sacred
trust and violations of that trust
should be visited with retributive jus
tice

1t is being urged in some quarters
that Topeka is evincing a spirit of in
gratitude toward Governor Morrill, in
supporting Mr.. Troutman for the nomi-
nation for governor. It is said that
Governor Morrill, helped to make To-
peka the capital Of the state; that the
capitol building is his PRIDE that he
favored every appropriation for its con
struction; that he is personally super
vising its completion and the beauti-
flying of the grounds and in SO doing
is employing a large number of Topeka
workmen- Hence. it is said, Topeka
owes a debt of gratitude to the gov
ernor. Supposing all this to be true.
does not Governor Morrill, owe some
thing to Topeka for giving him a larger
majority than any other county in the
state2But all this is neither here nor
there. A man is elected governor for
the whole state Of Kansas and not for
its capital alone. If he is not the right
sort of a governor. no personal or pri-
vate obligations on the part of any in
dividual or community should prevent
his displacement by man better
suited to the requirements Of the whole
people. Governor AIorrilTs claims on
the support of Topeka people should be
based on stronger grounds than those
outlined above.

A Plea for a Confederate Home

II Il lea LOT Il CO0I6OeraUc f1Oue.
To the Editor of the Herald.
There is striking contrast between
the condition of the disabled veterans,
who wore the blue, and those who
wore the gray. The one cared for by
the gratitude of great nation, the
other dependent upon the love of an
impoverished people.
The supreme nobility of Southern
women, those who sent fathers, bro
theirs, husbands, and lovers into battle
for that which they believed to be for
truths sake. is yet watchful of the
veteran whose step has become feeble,
and whose lot has fallen in bard
places.
AS the women of the South have
reared stately monuments of costly
marble in the Confederate Cemetery,
in Winchester, so the daughters of the
Confederacy, of West Virginia, are
striving to build home for the poor
and disabled veterans.
The Daughters of the Confederacy,
in Martinsburg and Berkeley County,
are making great arrangements to
effect this result.
About June 3, they will organize a
grand rally which will be held on the
lawn of Senator Faulkner's beautiful
and historic home, Boydville. There
will be dinner served during the day,
and Fete Champetre at night.
The lawn will be dotted with tents.
One in which play will be produced,
another will contain museum of
Confederate relics, at another, beauti-
full maidens will tell the fortunes to
the anxious swain Bands of music
and numerous lanterns will beautify
and enliven the scene.
A magnificent supper will be served
and it is anticipated that as a gather
ing of beauty and chivalry, the occas-
ion will he unsurpassed.
Gallant and faithful Jefferson will
send her quota for the sake of the
cause she loved SO we'll, and Battle
Scared Winchester will come in force
with the same devotion which swelled
her heart when her streets resounded
to the tramp of armed men.
There the old generation will meet
thenew and veterans will greet the sons
and daughters of the Confederacy-a
younger people, but people in whose
heart the pride of a heroic ancestry
reigns supreme, and together all will
testify by their presence and by their
contributions their appreciation of the
noble cause for which the occasion is
had.
Every Southern veteran of Berke-
ley, and adjoining counties is expect
ed and many will be there.

fot theoccasion. The Bedington school
exhibition can boast of a few fea-
