This list includes al the committees
appointed. There seems to be but one
discrepancy, and that can only be az
counted for by the fact that this Is pro-
hibition state. We refer to the appoint
ment of committee on water" in a
kentucky mass meeting.
The association adopted a suitable
code of bylaws and a constitution
founded on the "unsearchabie truths
by which they will be governed In the
society. They then adjourned to meet
next Wednesday evening at the same
time and place and select a place for
their first picnic and fix the date Of the
same.
An experience SIS terrifying as many
which have wrecked minds and turned
mems hair white fell to the lot Of Gus
Zimmerman, a section laborer In the
employ Of the Santa Fee at Topeka
Tuesday. For several minutes he was
helpless with a fractured leg astride
one Of the Trestles on a bridge on the
main line of the Santa Fe with the
sound Of an oncoming train, each mo-
ment becoming more distinct in his ears.
Frantically he cried for help and attempt
ed 10 drag himself from his fearful posi-
ton, only TO fall back after each effort
in more exhausted condition. At last !
two farmers, attracted by his cries, res |
cued him from the bridge just in time 10 |
save him from a horrible death under |
the wheels Of the train.
The committee, composed of Probate
Judge Doubleday, Hon E T. Hackney
and Henry s Carter, designated to eX-
anime the books Of the county treasurer,
as prescribed by law, finished their work
this morning and fled their report with
the county clerk. It shows s54.S49-72 of
the county's funds 10 be accounted for.
or this amount there was s1,s75-91 in the
treasurerer's vaults and amounts on de-
posit as follows: Wellington National
bank, s31. 30z %; Security State bank.
s12. $3.50. and Farmers bank s9.oTs.97,
a total Of S54,s59.72. The treas
urer's books will always be found in the
very best OF shape so long as Billy Mad
iy is treasurer.
