Conductor Fred Schroeder of Mel
rose, is in the city, but is rather lame,
the result of an accident which he met
on Tuesday of this week. About 1870
that morning, No, ID backed out OF
Melrose to take a run for the hill be-
yond Melrose. Conductor Schroeder
and Brakemen Wheatley and Sheehan
were in their caboose which was at
tached to the train as they were to
''dead head" it to GAINESVILLE. When
the rear of No. Is reached the frog,
where the lead from the yard joins the
main track, No. so, bound for St. Paul,
was just pulling out and the locomo-
tive struck the two cabooses, >upsetting
them both. Conductor Schroeder and
the two brakemen were in bed at the
time, but were thrown out. They
climbed out of the window of the ca
boose in their night clothes in a hurry.
When the car upset Schroeder was
thrown against the stove and his leg
and ankel we're severely burned. -

A ST. Cloud dispatch of recent date
has sensation, as follows: Several
days ago an old veteran named Chas.
Perkins. who lives near Alexandria,
came to ST. Cloud to look for his thir-
teen-year-old son. Two years ago
Perkins wife deserted him, taking
their son along. He found his wife
living with negro in this city. She
refused to give up the boy, and the
father applied to the courts. None of
the judges of the district court hap
pened to be in the city, and this morn
ing Perkins, who had been lurking
about the neighborhood, caught the
boy when he went out to play. The
lad evidently did not like to be carried
off, for it is reported that he struggled
desperately, but the old man succeed
ed in carrying him away. The mother
told her story to the police, but the
man is now in hiding somewhere with
the boy. He did not leave the city on
any of the trains.

The Passing Of the Cayuse.

Fossil collections gathered in old lake
beds of eastern Oregon demonstrate that
the broad plains between the Rocky and
Cascade mountains were the original
habitat of the prehistoric horse, fleet
little animal no larger than fox which
in the long ago scampered over the
lonely land. After the lapse of ages the
modern horse is now to degenerate upon
the stamping ground Of his ancestors.
The oayuse has become so valueless by
the invasion of the electric car and the
bicycle and the disappearance of the
stagecoaoh and the wagon train that
the halter has been taken from his neck
and he has been turned loose to struggle
with nature for his own subsistence.

| Canadian and Italian asbestus will
find serious competitor In the blue as
bestus recently discovered in the Cape
Colony, since the South African product
is less than half as heavy and furnishes
fibers considerably finer and longer than
any other. The South African fiber has
been worked into webs, which are but
little inferior to those made of vegetable
fiber and are absolutely fireproof. Irvine,
cord and rope made of this blue asbestus
will not only resist fire, but also most
of the known chemicals, corrosive yapors
and atmospheric influences. These quail
tiles will open a new field for the en-
ployment of asbestus fabrics in chemical
laboratories and for the calking Of
chemical apparatus.
In order to test the resistance of the
new material blue asbestus rome of
about three-fourths of an inch in diam
eter was weighted at one end with 22O
pounds and exposed to a constant flame
from large gas jet, so that the rope for
a considerable length was surrounded
by fire. The cord only broke after %
hours. Still it was trifle lighter than
rope of the same diameter made Of
Russian hemp. Compared with a new
hemp rope. the asbestus rope has two
thirds Of its strength, but as the ropes
get older the proportion is altered in
favor Of asbestus ropes, since they suffer
but very little from the influences of
the atmosphere.
Another novel application of this ma
terial is the working of blue asbestus
fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those made either of ami
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, and no YER
min can live in this mattress. Expert
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for firemen's ap-
parel. OF course the long fiber of blue
asbestus can also be employed for all
the uses to which white asbestus has
been put heretofore. While trife more
expensive. its superior qualities made it
well worth the difference. -Philadel-

Kansas In Open Rebellion Against An
Order of "a United States Court

Order of United States Court.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 10.-The long
threatened clash between the United
the state Of Kansas came yesterday
when Attorney General Boyle, acting
upon the advice and with the concur
renee Of the state administration, took
action in the state courts in open de-
fance Of the federal authorities. This
action is the outcome Of an injunction
Issued on July 29 last by United States
District Judge John a. Williams, of
Arkansas, at Colorado Springs, Colo,
by which he positively enjoined State
Insurance Commissioner Webb McNeal
and Attorney General Boyle, of Kansas,
from bringing any proceedings what
ever under the state laws to prevent the
Mutual Life Insurance company from
doing business in Kansas. The injunc-
tion of Judge Williams was sweeping in
its effect, and amounted, according to
Governor Leedy. Attorney General
Boyle and Commissioner McNeal, to a
practical annulment of a criminal law
Of Kansas under which the insurance
company involved has been barred from
transacting business in Kansas.
Not only this, but the Kansas au-
thorities maintained that the injunction
Of Judge Williams was in violation of
the constitution of the United States in
that 1t prevented the state from enact
ing and carrying out it's own laws, and
also In contravention Of decisions of
the United States supreme court. Act
ing upon this belief Attorney General
Boyle yesterday went before the state
supreme court, bringing proceedings in
quo warranto against the Mutual Life
Insurance company to compel that COR
poration to appear before the state SUI
preme court and show by what authority
1t is transacting business in the state
Of Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle having done
precisely what the injunction Of Judge
Williams forbade him doing the pre-
sumption is that the federal judge will
cause his arrest and imprisonment for
contempt. In this event application for
writ of habeas corpus will be made
at once to the United States supreme
court, and in such a proceeding Tire at
torney general would have the support
OF the entire state administration. Gov
ernor Leedy has declared that the issue
has been made and that the matter must
be fought to a termination
