Sixteen Head Of Steers Are
Burned Up.
En- Route to Market Santa Fe
Stock Car Catches Afire.
FAST RUN FOR WATER
Accident Happened Near Waka-
rusa Last Night.
Train III, Santa Fe, Makes a
Fast Run Near Newton.

Sixteen head of cattle were roasted
alive in a Santa F'e cattle car at w aka
rusa station about 10 O'Clock last nlght
The believing of the tortured beasts
could be heard for miles, and had the
effect of attracting the entire inhabl-
tants of the surrounding country to the
scene.
The cattle were the propeHky of Mr.
Price of Reading, and had been loaded
at that station in a car in the middle OF
stock express No. &c, which is due in this
down the grade two miles south of Wa
karusa, the bedding of the car was dis
covered to be on fire by one of the
brakemen, who at once notified the en-
gineer. All possible speed was made to
reach the water tank at WakaruSa sta
ton, but by the time the train stopped
at the tank the flames were beyond
control in one car, while the fire had
spread to the stock cars on either side.
AS quickly as possible the burning
car was uncOupled from the rest of the
train and the efforts of the trainmen
and farmers living near the station di-
rected to saving the other two cars and
their animal contents. Inc cars We're
broken open and the cattle allowed to
escape, while water was carried from
the water tank in buckets to extin-
guish the flames.
The light of the burning car and the
believing of the roasting cattle aroused
the inha bitants of the surrounding ter
ritOry, and in a few minutes after the
train reached the station men, women
and children, some on foot, and others
driving and riding commenced to gath
er at the scene OF the fire. For almost
an hour scores of spectators stood and
watched the 16 head of cattle slowly
roasted to death, unable to do anything
toward extinguishing the fire or putting
the unfortunate animals out of their
misery. The SrOanS of the roasting
beasts We're horrible to hear.
The entire woodwork OF the car was
wholly consumed, and every one of the
16 steers was burned to a blackened
mass. The incident caused the great
est excitement at Wakarusa station
since the Santa Fe wreck at that point
several years ago.
One of the steers liberated from the
rear of the car consumed attempted to
cross the bridge spanning the Waka-
rusa creek, and fell with his four feet
through the trestles. The animal had
to be pulled from his predicament by
the engine of westbOund passenger
train No. Z.
The wrecking crew from Topeka
cleared away the debris of the burned
car. and train No.7 was the only train de-
layed by the accident. The Is cattle
burned were being shipped to the Chi
cagO market.

OBERLIN FIGHT OVER

IeaveuwOrth. Nov. Ex-senator Ba-
ker, wife and daughter Will leave To-Day
for Washington where he will enter up
on his legislative duties. senator ID
ker haSarented a residence and ms Iai1l-
lily Will remain with him until the ao-
journment of congress.
The past week has been q DuSy one
for Senator Baker. His office has been
invaded by a continuous stream OF OF
flee seekers and persons having busl-
ness in various departments at WASH
ington in which they hoped to secure
Senator Bakers assistance.
The first delegation to arrive Satur-
day included State Senator w. E.
Sterne of Topeka, and Capt. A A. Row
ley.
Following a protraeted conference
Mr. Sterne in speaking of his mission
to the city said:
= have no fear but that I viii re-
ceiVe the appointment which senator
Baker has recommended There IS
nothing in the reports about my having
been frightened and if L was ever so
badly scared I would not show it. 1
have received endorsements from every
county in the state and many of them
came voluntarily which has been very
gratifying"
Ex-State Senator Frank LOckard of
Norton county had talk with Senator
Baker during the forenoon in reference
TO pOStOffice appointments. Afterwards
Mr.. LOckard stated that Lewis Dean
had been agreed upon for postmaster
at Edmond, and Ed MuSker for the
pOStmastership at LenOra. Both of
these selections had received the pre-
vi0us endorsement of Judge A. H. Ellis
of Beloit, candidate for congressman
last fail.
Senator Lockard stated that the long
and bitter fight for the appointment of
the postmaster at Oberlin had been set
tied by the recommendation of Henry
Leid for the appointment and that MI
Leid viii receive his commission in the
near future.
Columbus Borin of the Oberlin Eye,
a n "a
ion, were heavy candidates for the ap-
pointment. and between these two it
was deemed best to name Mr.. Leid as
a compromise candidate.
Paul r. Brooks, cashier of Watkins
National bank, was in the city anxious
to discuss his chance of drawing the
$2,7C0 salary attached to the Lawrence
pCstoffice. He was chaperOned by J. J.
Cox of Lawrence, one of the leading
lights in Douglas county political cir
cles. Mr. Cox processes no interest in
the postoffice fight, but his numerous
trips to LeayenWOrth in thee past two
weeks gives strength to the rumOr that
he is to have a deputy marshalship un-
der Sterne when the latter lands the
coveted appointment.

CAR FAMINE AT ST. LOUIS.
Large Accumulation of Grain Cam
not be Moved.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-Shippers all over
this section of the country, particularly
here in St. Louis, are complaining Dit
terly of the scarcity of freight cars
They have not been able to move their
shipments with any degree Of certainty
for more than two weeks past. and the
shortage has now reached the proper
tons of a car famine.
Within a little more than two weeks
freight rates to the Gulf coast viii be
advanced and shippers, especially grain
men, are trying to get all the grain
they can possibly buy to the southern
ports, ready for export, in order to take
advantage of the present low tariffs
Ihe demand for cars has, largely oA
this account. become the heaviest e2-
perienced for several years past on
any of the western roads, and many of
them are utterly unable to I'LL their or
ders.
In the case of the rates of the Cuff
coast, the increase out of Kansas City
viii be cents per 100 pounds over the
tariffs now in effect, or nearly cents
per bushel on wheat. Shippers are
anxious to get as much wheat as pos
sible into New Orleans and Galveston
before December g, when the new rate
goes into effect in order to take ad-
vantage of the increase, but the short
age of cars has materially interfered
with their plans.
The extraordinary demand for cars
is not alone responsible for the famine
Cotton is beginning to move freely
from all over the south. This not only
wheat country, but, as the rates paid
for handling cotton are more remuner-
satiVe to the railroads. wheat shippers
are not given the same consideration
when they apply for cars to move their
freight.
AS fast as cars can be secured. the
St Louis exporters are sending their
grain in New Orleans, to BE stored
there until they are ready to send it 90
Europe. Even if it has to be held in
the eIeva tors of that city for a month.
the exporters will have a saving of 1per
cent buShel on every bushel they are
able to get into New Orleans before
December G. The J cent represents
carrying charges and the amount saved
in the freight.
It has been discovered that nearly all
of the western roads are short Of
fre1ght-car equipments, owing to the
TACT Ihat they have just passed through
q long period OF business and financial
depression, during which they have al
lowed their equipment to fall off con-
Sldera bly,. The present rush OF freight,
and, in fact, the constant increasing bus
mess that has been thrust upon them
for several months past found them
short of cars, and they have not been
able to supply the equipment necessary
to properly care for all the business Of
fered.
Could all the cars necessary to handle
the wheat destined for export from The
Kansas and Nebraska fields through
the st. Louis exporters, be sent into
New Orleans before the proposed in
crease in rates becomes effective IL
would net a profit of many thousand
dollars for the interested parties For
months number of them have been
buying wheat freely in the west and
shipping 1t direct south. Most of il is
hard wheat and has been taken in EU-
rope in preference to the high-priced
red wheat

RAILROADS MUsT PAY.
County Commissioners Can Fix Local
Assessments According to
This Decision.

Junction City, Nov. 22.-Judge Moore
has just handed down decision in the
long fought railroad taxation cases
brought by the M, K. & t. r. r. Co.
against Geary and Morris counties in
the district court.
He holds that the state board of as
SCISSORS, sitting as a board of equaliza-
tiOn, has no right to change assess
ments or valuation so far as taxation
for county. township, municipal or
school district purposes is concerned.
The board raised the valuation 80 per
cent in these two countless but the
county commissioners did not make
any change on local taxation. They
did adjust the railroads taxes in re-
gard to state taxation, however, but
the road brought suit to restrain the
collection of about $1,000 in this county
and 81, 700 in Morris On the ground that
the railroad property was paying one
third more taxes than it should, be
cause the valuation of the property of
the county as a whole was not raised
80 per cent in accordance with the
state boards orders.
The decision is in favor of the cOun-
ties and the additional taxes will be
collected
The decision holds that the board of
commissioners has full power in the
matter of local assessments, and that
so far as taxes for local purposes are
concerned, the state board Of equaliza-
ton has no power whatever, but can
only raise and lower valuation for the
collection of state taxes 1t is an i'm
portant decision, and affects many
counties of the state.

THE WALL STREET VIEW.
Henry Clews Wants sin Gold" Instead
of ssin Coin"

New York, Nov. 22-The Henry Clews
financial review for the past week has the
following on the legislative action desired
from the congress soon to assemble;
In public estimation by far the most
important matter to occupy the attention
of congress is currency reform. AS yet,
however, Wall street has not generally
viewed it as a question bearing very di-
rectly upon the market for securities.
This apparent neglect cannot be due to
oversight of the fact that the quality of
securities depends upon the quality of
the money in which they are payable;
perhaps the explanation is rather that the
exchange fraternity have some doubt
whether any legislation on the question
can be at present accomplished. On this
there is undoubtedly room for differences
of opinion. But two things appear . be
certain; first, that the president and the
secretary of the treasury and apparently
also Speaker Reed will earnestly employ
their influence to secure the adoption of
such legislation; and, second, that if con-
gress should be found Iukewarm on the
subject, members will be subject to
pressure from the business sentiment of
the country calculated to arouse them to
a sense of their duty; for the earnestness
of conservative opinion on the subject is
little less than that which demanded the
repeal of the coinage clauses of the Sher-
man law of 1890. In any case, it cannot
be denied that the present condition of
our currency is attended with grave mis-
givings, especially across the Atlantic, as
to the value of our securities. That, in
deed is the one great obstacle with which
we have to contend in placing our obl-
cations abroad and in keeping them there
If something is not done by the next con-
gress to remedy this distrust, the feeling
will be deepened; if congress passes a law
tending to give assurance that we shall
always be able to pay these obligations
in gold, our foreign credit would be great
ly strengthened and a new source of de-
mand for stocks and bonds would be ere
ated. Whatever may be done in respect
to the currency, a resolution should be
adopted declaring all Obligations of the
United States government payable in
gold not, as at present, in coin,' which
may mean either gold or silver. Also as
a means of putting a quietus on the sill
yer agitation, the treasury notes issued un-
der the act of 1890 should all be with
drawn as rapidly as possible and the sill
yer coin left to circulate in their stead
That would probably make a sufficient
quantity to enable the people to better
understand what silver money really is II
it does not then treat the Bland issue
of silver notes in the same way"

TWO SIDES.
The Blind are Not Wholly Without
Ray of Light.

An old blind man sat on a rickety
camp stool on the corner of Sixth and
Kansas avenue grinding Loves
Dreamland" out of a wheezy hand or
gan that was so badly out of tune
that it told a tale OF many kinds of
weather and years of usage. Close to
the old man sat a boy with his coat
collar turned up, digging his toes into
the corner of the curbstOne and trying
to look cheerful and warm despite the
cold dr1Zzllng rain that swept around
thescOrner and caused the old man to
shiver and draw his threadbare coat
closer around his Wrinkled throat.
A placard hung around the old mans
neck told the pitiful story of his life.
boiler explosion had cost him his
sight and he and the boy, all that were
left of a once happy family, depended
upon the old organ for their support.
An actor and actress on their way
from the matinee to their hotel passed
him by. The actor dropped a quarter
into the waiting cup with the air of a
modern Sir Launfal starting on a pill
grimage. AS the clink Of the coin
mingled with the music, the old man
looked up with his closed eyes and nod
ded his thanks. The boy looked into
the cup, cast a wondering glance at
the donor and resumed his shivering.
A wOrkngman on his way home from
his days labor paused and listened for
a moment. He seemed to be thinking
of his own humble blessings, his low
ing family waiting for his return, and
he looked as if the sight of the old
man poverty CdIleO 10 his Il4IIu SOIlte
event in his life that brought him in
touch with the old mans need for help.
He took from his pocket a faded wallet
and from the scanty hoard he contrib
uted a nickIe to the waiting cup. The
old mans lips moved in an inaudible
thank you" and he wearily kept on
grinding. The workingman replaced
the wallet in the depths of his ragged
coat buttoned his coat closer around
his warm heart and resumed his jour
ney home.
organ across his shoulder The boy
took the camp stool in one hand and
the old mans arm in another and led
him to their humble home. After sup
per the old man and the boy drew their
chairs close to the small stove that did
service to warm the room and to cook
their meals. The cid man reached for
a daily paper and adjusted his glasses.
'Who won de fght?" asked the boy.
Jimmy, de kid" said the old man.
''The paper says it only took two
rounds
