IT is reported thai the actual work
on the tunnel through Pixies peak was
begun eight miles from the Cripple
Creek gold field. The work is done un-
der contract with the city of Colorado
Springs, Col, and the tunnel is to run
from Beaver Creek canyon to West
Beaver Creek, bringing the water down
the canyon and into the control of the
waterworks at Colorado Springs. The
tunnel is II, 900 feet above the sea level
and is to be over a mile and a half
long. The workmen will drill through
solid granite and tunnel SKI feet will
be built The contract calls for the
completion of the work within two
years. The price to be paid is SIG per
foot. and at this rate it is estimated that
the work will cost $250,0OO. Workmen
have begun operations at both ends
of the proposed tunnel. Owing to the
fact that gold las been found in paying
quantities in so many places near Grip
pie Creek the contractors have great
expectations as to the result of boring
through Pixies peak, and a sufficient
number of claims have been secured to
protect any find that may be made
during the progress of the work.

HARD HITTERS.
Methodist Preachers at the
Wichita Conference
Breathe the Spirit Of Old John
Wesley.
NO MEALY MOUTHED
Utterances About the Behavior
of the Governor.
UphOlding a Moral Issue With
All Their Strength.

KANSAS CITY, March 2S.-A special
to the Star from Wichita says:
The Southwest Methodist Episcopal
conference today adopted resolutions re-
newing their stand for the speedy and
complete annihilation of the accursed
liquor traffic"
"The very moral and political atmos-
phere is so charged with local sentiment
and the resubmisSion theory and doc
trine," say the resolutions, "that unless the
Christian citizenship of the state will
arise en- masse we will ere long be con-
fronted with the open saloon, a calamity
most direful in its results to the state;
and,
Whereas, We discover in the recent
utterances of some of our leading papers
and officials high in Office peril GUS
tendency towards an utter disregard of
law;
''Resolved, That we commend the hon.
est and brave efforts of all public officials
having a proper regard for the oath of
their offices, as evidenced by their per-
sistent efforts to enforce law. and
"Resolved. That it is the sense of this
conference that when the power of the
press and that of politicians is leagued
with that of the rumseller, gambler and
brothel keeper, the issue is not politl-
cal one, but strictly moral one, and that
the support OF the press and officials
thus throwing their influence on the side
of immortality and notification of law is
Incompatible with christian duty and
life.
Resolved, That we deplore the recent
utterances of the chief executive who
says that the 'prohibitory law cannot be
enforced in communities where the pre-
vailing sentiment is against it, We
hold that government is the chief func-
ton of governor.
"Resolved, That since the liquor
traffic cannot be legalized without sin,
neither can those who favor its legaliza-
ton be voted for without sin when it is
an ISSUE"

TO DROP THE FLYERS.

Chicago "Tribune'' Again Announces
That They viii BE TAX en- OF May L.
Some time ago the Chicago Tribune
announced that when the present exist
ing time card on the Santa Fe went into
effect on February 2. the California
trains and would be abandoned This
report proved to be incorrect at the time
but in the issue of yesterday the. Tribune
again announces thac the trains are to be
abandoned May1 and that the failure to
execute the arrangeme Mt February 2 was
but temporary. 1t saws:
The Santa Fe limited will be taken off
on May l, but another train which will
make good time will be substituted there
for. Dining cars, however, will not be
attached to this train, but this will cause
little Inconvenience to the patrons of the
road, except the slight loss in time, as the
dining stations along the lines of the
Santa Fe are admittedly the best in the
world.
The fast limited train of the Santa Fe
was put on in the first place to meet the
active competition of the Southern
Pacific, which had been running
a fast limited train between New
Orleans and Los Angeles for the last few
seasons, and when it put on an addition
al limited train between New Orleans
and the Pacific coast last spring the
Santa Fe in self defense was compelled
to put on last Hmlteo train between
Chicago and Los Angeles, which made
the time between the two cities in thre 9
days. During the fall and winter months
the trains did good business, but Cali
fornia travel is now beginning to fall off
and as there is little California tour
ist business during the summer the fast
train, it is said, will not be needed. But
| while the business of the fast train was
satisfactory the other through trains to
the west, it is said. suffered from the
competition of the fast limited train, and
this, it is said, caused the Withdrawal
about two months ago of the Denver
| train which left here at d. IN.

Hurrying Forward.

CAPETowN, March 28.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Buluwayo today an
nounce that Frederick c. Celous, the ex-
the head of a strong detachment of vol
unteers has met and engaged the enemy,
killing large number. Five troopers
were killed. The prompt action of the
authorities has had a good effect upon
the rebeIIious Matabeles who did not ex-
pect to be attacked for some time to
come.
The Matabeles set fire to big store
about four miles from Buluwayo and ex-
ecuted a medicine dance aronnd the
flames. The transport riders are absn-
doning their wagons in all directions and
are hurrying into the towns.
Fears are entertained for a party of
1000 settlers, mainly women and chill
dren, who are in lager corral of wagons)
in the vicinity of which a strong force of
atabeles has been reported. The set
tiers have only sufficient provisions to
last them short time. Captain Spreckels
on Thursday, it is announced, met and
repulsed a strong body of Matabeles and
inflicted great loss upon them.
One of the gravest features of the up
rising is that it is now admitted that the
native police have been induced not only
to take part in the rebellion, but to in
duce the various tribes they were sup
posed to take back tn control, to take up
arms against the whites. 1t is estimated
in this manner 700 we'll trained fighting
men armed with modern rifles and well
supplied with ammunition have gone
over to the enemy
The military and civil authorities of
the town of Salisbury, which is capable
of sustaining a long siege are taking
every measure of precaution. A maxim
battery has been placed on a command.
ing position and ammunition has been
served out to the volunteers.
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes is expected to arrive
| at Buluwayo today. He will assume the
direction of the repressIve measures.
Later advices from Buluwayo an
nounce that the sou of King Lobengula
who was banished from Matabeleland
last year had returned and placed him
self at the head of the insurgenI Mata-
beles.

Women in Politics.

That woman in politics means purity
in politics one Kansas woman has
started out to demonstrate in an inter-
esting way. Mrs. D. P. Leslie was
elected county clerk in Brown county
at the last election. She, of course.
nledeed herself to appoint only de-
serving persons to Offices in her control.
She has begun by making her daughter
chief deputy. She knows the char
acter of this appointee thoroughly and
is satisfied of her fitness and integrity.
Now the workers are wondering how
far her faith in her own family goes.

OXFORD CREW WINS.
The Great English Boat Race Triumph
for the Ozark Blue

for the Ozark Blue"
PUTNEY, England, March 2S.-The
Oxford crew, to the surprise of almost
every body ashore and aaoat, today won
the fifty-third boat race between the
universities of Oxford and Cambridge
by about third of length after most
exciting finish.
The time was 20:o4 and the course was
the usual one from Putney bridge to the
winning post above the Ship inn at
Mortlake, distance of about ~ miles.
The morning opened cold and cheer
less and with prospects of poor attend
ance. In the early hours heavy down
pour of rain drenched the gathering
sight seers and caused thousands to re-
main at home.
Cam bridge was a hot favorite at six to
four and few takers at that.
Cambridge embarked first, won the toss
aud chose the Surrey side of the river
The crews embarked at 1858 p. m. and
at the pistol shot at 1902 both boats got
36 to Oxford's slightly more powerful
sweep of 81.
Cambridge at Thornv Crofts, had a
lead of about three quarters of a length,
| and both crews were bending down to
work in the grandest manner possible
From there 10 the three mile post, about
| half way between Chiswick church and
Barnes brlQ8e, the race was most pun
| ishing both from the pace set and the
iumpy water Cam bridge succeeded in
holding a slight lead and shot under the
bridge ahead of Oxford They could
not however throw off their rivals who
clung to them fercely and then
| began to overhaul them steadily, slowly
| but surely. Frantic excitement reigned
on both banks of the river. For time,
| off Mortlake church, Cambridge seem
| ed to be likely 10 hold her lead across
the finish line. But this was not to be
the case. As the church was passed,
| Oxford put on its final effort and there
was squirt from the dark blues
which will be recorded in the
history of rowing. 1t was
| simply magnificent. The men pulled as
| If they had just started in the race, and
there was no resisting it.
For moment it was nose and nose,
with the winning post in sight, and
then putting still more steam into
their stroke the dark blues passed the
Cambridge boat, and finished winners by
a short three quarters of q length in
| 20:04

Clock Needed winding.

A ieweler of Tuscola, Mich, says that
during the last year one clock has been
brought to him seven times for repair
and each time all that was wrong with
it was that it needed winding Each
time he explained the cause to the
owner but after a few weeks, or some
times months, the clock, being neglect
ed, would stop, the owner would shake
it, blow in it and then take it to the
ieweler, who would astonish him by
winding it and handing it baek.-Ex-

Much of the outcry against candy is
the result of wrong methods of use. Il
can often be safely taken at meal time
with good results. Scientists say that
the food value of sugar is very great.
A pound of sugar contains much more
energy and power to support animal
life than a pound of meat. II candy
is taken under such conditions that it
will not disarrange the digestive ap-
paratus it is perfectly wise and rational
to be a candy eater

SUIT AGAINST p. H. CONEY.
Brought by County Attorney Stafford,
in Gold Brick Gordon Case.

County Attorney Stafford this afternoon
filed an action, on behalf of the state, in
the district court, against P. Ii. Coney. to
recover the $500 which Coney owes th 9
county on Gold Brick Gordon's bond.
Gordon is also made joint defendant.
Gordon was convicted of swindling a
Holton farmer, and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. He appealed
the case to the supreme court gave a
cash bond of $1,5OO, and was released.
Later, however, his lawyers got the court
to take down the cash bond and accept
the signature of P. H. Coney for the
money instead. 1t was thought at the
time that there was some careless work,
and the county attorney evidently means
it to become public whose fault it was.
