of the Delegates Elected Saturday
425 Vet 20 he Chosen.
Congressman Case Broderick will be
renominated as the candidate of the Re-
publicans of the First congressional dis
trict at Leavenworth next Monday.
The primary elections held Saturday
resulted in a complete route of the forces
of DIR. w. ]. Bailey of Baileyville, Cy Le-
lands candidate to succeed Broderick.
Mr. Broderick carried Leavenworth
county by an overwhelming vote which
with the solid delegation from jackson.
Jefferson, Pottawatomie counties makes
his nomination sure. Most of the dele
gates elected in Atchison county are for
Rroderick and it is now doubtful if Mr.
Bailey's friends will make any attempt
to go into the convention to run things.
The result of Saturdays primaries
shows that the people of the First district
are satisfied with Mr.. Broderick.
In Leavenworth county Frederick car
ried almost every precinct, but the city
precincts were all carried by Cy Leland
for national committeeman.
d. r. Anthony charges that Leland's
workers captured the primaries by vot-

1T PAYS TO CARRY BAGGAGE.
The Santa Fa Makes Profit, There Is So
Much Excess.

The Santa Fe Makes a Profit, There Is So
Much Excess.
Few people are aware of the enormous
amount of baggage which is transported
over every large railroad system in the
course of year In fact the travelling pub
lie bestows but little of their attention on
the baggage question in any form. Their
baggage ia checked at the starting point
consigned to the tender mercies of the
baggage smasher, and entirely forgotten
until their destination point is reached
This accommodation is not a costly one
to the railroad companies On the con-
trary it is'some times a profitable one.
As an illustration of this the Santa he
may be cited as fair example. During
the year 1895, S25. 1885 pieces of baggage
were ransported over the entire system.
Allowing 100 pounds to each piece, which
would be a fair average weight, this bag
gage would amount to II, 297 tons.
On these s25,935 pieces of baggage the
Santa Fe road collected $101, 306.44 in
excess charges. This amount would
allow collection of over IL cents on
each piece, and undoubtedly covered the
cost Of the operation of the baggage cars.

OLDEST DOME CLIMBER.

a Man Eighty Years Old Gets to the
Top.
John H. Clark. of Fancy Creek, Clay
county, Kansas, is probably the oldest
person who ever made the entire ascent
to the top of the state house dome.
He is SO years of age and did it IN
aided Saturday morning, walking all the
way.
Mr.. Clark ia the father in-Iaw of F. G.
Adams, secretary of the state historical
society, and of Frank Root, formerly edi-
tor of the Mail. He and his wife have
been visiting Mr.. Adams aud Mr. Root
here this winter and were to return to
Clay county soon.
81 should like to make trip to the top
of the state house dome before I CO."
said Mr.. Clark and the family looked at
him in establishment.
He was bound to do il, however, and he
did.
The dome is about 300 feet high and
necessitates something like two thousand
steps, most of them up steep stairways,
through dark passages and in places
where a misstep would hurI a man to g
floor SO far below that he would be dead
before he reached it and would be sim
ply crushed e at when he did. The trip
is trial for most young people.
Mr. Clark was not very much fatigued.
