CRUEL FLAMES

Two Women and Five Children Burned to
Desth-TerribIe Devastation Wrought.
/ WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 5.-The prairie
fires which ragged all over the country
Saturday, being famed and driven by
gale of wind, died out during the
night and Sunday mornings sun
dawned upon a terrible scene of death
and devastation, farm houses, nipple
ments, crops ana live stock everywhere
being consumed and many farmers lost
their all. A most lamentable story
comes from Beausejour, 40 miles east
of this city, where two women and five
children named Moreski were burned
to death. Fire came upon their house,
which was in the woods, from two di-
rections simultaneously and shut off
all means of escape. Only a few
charred remains were found yesterday
morning. There were many narrow
escapes, carcasses of horses, cattle and
sheep are lying all over the district
and a number of families of foreigners
homeless and utterly destitute.

Nebraska Equal SufTragIsts Strongly Urged
to Boycott the Church.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 5.-A feature OF
the state wOman's suffrage convention,
which closed Saturday. was the adj
dress of Mrs. Caroline NJ. Woodward,
president of the Nebraska Woman S
Christian Temperance union. Mrs.
Woodward is a Methodist, and she
urged women of that denomination to
withdraw from active church work
until the general conference recog-
nized them as delegates, by refusing
to become Sunday school superintend-
ents or otherwise participating. She
thought the men would be brought to
their senses. She believed the bishops
had settled the question, so there was
no hope in 1900, but she thought if an
organized effort were made and the
fact that they intended to refuse to do
any further church work were i'm
pressed upon the conference they
might receive recognition in 1904.
Her remarks were applauded.

He VIII Undertake to Build 10 Miles of a
Railroad in Tennessee.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Railroad building
has been selected by Eugene V. Debs
as the first great industrial project to
be undertaken by the Social Democra-
CIV of America. He has sought for the
privilege of constructing a railroad in
Tennessee, and if his preliminary plans
meet with favor the work will be
launched next month. The city of
Nashville will receive a formal prop
osition from the social democracy
TO build 75-mile road from Nashville
to Lebanon, which will be turned over
to the city of Nashville for a nominal
consideration. Labor for the building
and operating of the railroad will be
furnished by the social democracy, and
1t is intended that the road be main
tanned under the methods set forth by
the advocates of public ownership of
railroads.

All Over the West and Southwest the
Drought Is Serious.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Oct. All over
the west there is a cry for rain. Fields
are drying up. orchards are dropping
their fruit, the woods are as brown as
in November; grass is dying at the
roots; from every road, street and alley
dust arises in clouds; small streams,
ponds and wells are dry, and unless
there is rain within a very few days
the cattle that are being fed in Mis-
souri, and Kansas will suffer beyond
relief But while Missouri, Kansas,
Texas and the southwest already
feel the need of rain, there
is still greater solicitude in In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky.
The same cry comes from southern
Missouri. from northern Missouri, from
eastern Kansas and from western Kan
sas. In some parts of Texas and the
extreme southwest there has been no
rain for % months

THE WORK OF BANDITS.
Rock Island Passenger Train Held ~
Near Chickasha. l. Z.

a Rock Island Passenger Train Held Up
Near ChickaSha. /. I.
WICHITA, Kan. Oct. ,. -One of the
boldest train robberies in the history
of the Indian territory occurred yes
terday forenoon at 1880 on the Rock
Island just this side of Chickasha. /. r.
The general superstition is that it was
the work of Al Jennings and his gang.
There were five men in the party, and
they all wore masks. They rode over
on horses from the east, and compelled
some section men to flag the south
bound passenger train. The robbers
hid in the brush and had the workmen
covered with their rifles. When the
train stopped one of the robbers
stepped into the cab and covered the
engineer and fireman, while the other
four made for the express car, where
they tried to blow open the through
safe with dynamite. The safe resisted
the dynamite, but the express car was
blown to atoms. The robbers next
lined up all the passengers on the out
side of the cars and went through
them, securing about $500 in money
and many watches and diamonds.
The mail bags were rifled and all reg
istered packages taken.

said:

war against the United States l may possibly
have an opportunity of seeing that. OF some

teriaL
What have seen does not indicate that the
millennium is at hand. when swords will be
beaten into plOwshares" There never was
another time in the history Of the world when
such energy ingenuity and wealth have been
devoted to war purposes. The resources and
industries of many peoples are largely devoted
to maintaining large standing armies and for

that they are walled in by two great oceans,
yet this fact would not warrant them in any
policy other than keeping Il reasonable percen-
tage of the population fully equipped and in
structed in modern appliances and methods of
war.
To the question as to whether the
United States, under its present mill
tary policy, would be able to cope with
a European power, Gen. Miles replied:
In any population. it is estimated one man
out of five is capable of bearing arms. That
would give army of l., 900 600 Our people
are strong physically and generally intelligent
and well informed. Besides that each citizen is
"A sovereign and personally interested in

ice by military despotism. We have
many thousands of men still living
who have seen more war. participated in
more battles than any man in Europe. But
it is another thing to equip an army with modern
appliances for the defense of a coast where we
would have to use high power guns and modern

Yellow Fever Plague Not Under Control

New ORLEANS, Oct. 5.-Itis generally

prominence affected, will lose, Dr.

The STATE WINS.
Kansas City Stock Yards Case Decided
by Federal Judge Foster.
The Corporation Held to Be Subject Go
State ContrOI-Judge Foster Says the
New Schedule Is Reasonable and
Rates Must Be Enforced.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct. 5.-After the most
bitterly contested legal battle Kansas
has ever known, the stock yards case
was settled yesterday. Judge Cassius
G. Foster. in the federal court, ruled
that the big corporation at the Kaw's
mouth must obey the law passed by
the last legislature, making radical re-
auctions in the charges for handling
live stock. In "a clear and vigorous
opinion Judge Foster overrules every
principal contention advanced by the
plaintiff. He declares that the new
law was legally passed by the legisla-
ture; that the charges fixed by it would
enable the company to earn a reasona-
BILE return on the capital invested. and
that the business of the stock yards
company was not interstate commerce
These were the three principal points
involved in the case. Attorneys for
the stock yards company have signi-
fed their intention of appealing the
case.
Cost Falls on the Company.
Nj. Getting, as will appear from the
title of the case, asked for the niunc-
ton, and Mr.. Boyle and the stock
yards company were made defendants.
While this was the case the stock yards
company was in reality the plaintiff
and Mr.. Boyle the defendant Mr..
Getting, being a stakeholder and a
nonresident of the state, was used
simply by the company in order to get
the case into the United States court.
The attorneys for the stock yards COM
pany, instead of assisting Mr.. Boyle as
co-defendant, aided and assisted the
attorneys for Mr.. Getting, and the
stock yards company will not only paw
those attorneys, but must pay the costs
that have accrued in the case.
The Restraining Order.
Judge Foster read the decision slowly,
and whenever he got through with the
stronger points he looked over his
spectacles by way of emphasis at the
particular attorney whom he thought
it would most interest. At the conclu-
sion Judge Horton arose and gave no
tice of an appeal. He also asked Judge
Foster to grant bond to continue the
restraining order pending further liti-
cation. Judge Foster declined on the
suggestion of Mr.. Boyle and clearly
stated his reasons for doing so The
question of practice then arose, and in
order to dispose of that he promised
not to revoke the restraining order
until Saturday, at which time the
question of practice will come up for
hearing.
Case Will BE Appealed.
The attorneys for Mr. Getting will
take the case on appeal to the circuit
court of appeals and will probably ask
Judge SanbOrn to continue the re-
straining order in effect until a de-
cisiOn is reached. If this is the case
Mr.. Boyle will ask Judge Sanborn to
require the stock yards company to
make a bond in the sum of at least
$500, 600, protecting the patrons of the
stock yards from overcharges that may
be made pending the final decision of
the case
