tied down, and with the men working
like Trojans in the binding smoke the
run for shore commenced AS the
flames burst through the cabin land

The Moreley was bound from MilWau-
see to Chicago without a cargo. Seven
miles off Evanston the explosion Of a.
lantern in the hold started the blaze.
Tho crew was turned into fire brigade,
but the flames, twas soon seen, were
hey ond control and the H. -
Race Between Steam and Fire
was ordered. The bow Of the boat was
pointed toward Evanston under full
head of steam. Meantime the crew
kept up steady stream of water into
the hold. But the fire gained rapidly.
The stokers, almost smothered by
smoke, piled on coal and tied down the
safety valves. Just as the crew were
becoming discouraged with the unequal
battle the keel touched ground. Lite.
savers took of ths almost exhausted
crew. A moment later the flames burst
out OF the cabin and soon destroyed the
upper works Of the vessel. - ..,af
The Moreley was valued at 500, 900;

California Southern Will Not
Abandon National City.
Shipments of Fruit Much

Manager Nevin and C. N. Sterry Have
a Mysterious Scheme for a. & P!
improvements

San Diego, June General Mana
ger Nevin and General Counsel c. N
Sterry of the Southern California rail-
road came down from Los Angeles
yesterday to look after some important
improvements in the city to be made
by the A. & P. The first step will be
a ''Y'' track to cost Sc, 1000.
Speaking of the story of the aban-
donment of National City, which has
been suggested by some misinformed
persons, Mr.. Nevin said last night
''The California Southern has no inten-
tion of abandoning National City. In
deed we would be very foolish to think
of doing so. Aside from our franchises
along the bay, which we consider very
valuable, is the further fact that Ma
tional City is stepping to the front as
one of the most important shipping
stations along the line. I will not deny
that the Southern California has some
plans other than what has already been
made public, but nothing more is at
present ready for publication
Asked for the figures on citrus ship
ments from National City, Agent Nc
Carty said:
Our road has shipped from this sta
ton 126 cars of lemons and oranges
from December 1 to date, against 20
cars for the twelve months previous .

WANTED HIS RIGHTS.
A Massachusetts Legislator WhoHad
Peculiar N otions.

Kansas is not the only state which has
peculiar legislators. The Boston Herald
prints the following about a member of
the Massachusetts legislatures:
"A capital story is circulated among
the employees at the state house. 1t is said
that the day of the assembling of the
legislature, a rural gentleman, carrying a
large black-glazed cloth vaIise of the
style known as "Kennebeckers, on
which was strapped a huge bed-quilt, ap-
peared in the shoeblack's room in the
state house basement. Depositing his
baggage by the side of the shining
chair, he allowed his large boots to be
made presentable. When the extensive
territory was covered with brilliant var
nish the unknown requested the hoy"
to ''Send his valise to his room" To
your committee room?' inquired the boy.
Nav, to my room-bedroom sonny"
Why said the astOnished youth, mem
bers don't sleep at the state house.
Yes, they du," said the new member,
"and be sure to have my quilt laid on the
bed. Wife said that city folks seldom
had clothes enough, and I'm used to
plenty" The boy protested that there
were no bed chambers for members, and at
last the now Indignant member betook
himself with his baggage to the engi-
neers room, where he sat in a chair
watching the revolutions of the big
wheel. and lunched on doughnuts and
cheese, which he extracted from a ca
paciOus paper bag.
after repeated inquiries the new mem
Der found that it was as the shoeshiner
had said-that members did not lodge at
the state house-and he went sadly out
of doors in quest of a cheap boarding
house"

REMEMBERED BY M'KINLEY
How the President Rewarded an An
dersonviIle Hero for a Good Deed.

Columbus, June "A story suggest
ing quality of heart not usually en-
plOyed in the cOld-bIoOded disposition of
place was told of President Mckinley.
Samuel NJ. Taylor, late secretary of
state, is the author and incidentally a
party in interest.
On certain night of a recent cam
paign Mr. Taylor was billed for a camp
fire at Paulding. Mr. Taylor was born
TOO late to shoulder a gun, and could
not therefore add to the collection Of
reminiscences sprung on the audience;
but he was equal to the occasion. He
told Jonathan and David story of two
men from his home town, which is Ur-
bana. The story was that two COM
rades happened to be imprisoned at the
same time in Andersonville One was
little more than skeleton, with health
to ht, and the other was lusty, with
enough meat on his bones to feed the
tissues for many days.
one day the welcome news of pro-
posed exchange came. The healthy
mans name was on the list the name
of the other was not When this dis
cOvery was made the healthy man said:
bill, I can stand this better than Won
When my name is called you answer to
ii. Bill answered, therefore when the
name of Fred HOisingtOn was called
and went out into the Yankee lines
Fred had to remain nine months longer
The story in due time reached Major
Mckinley, and he repeated it at the
laying of the corner stone of Grants
monument He has possibly repeated
1t on other occasions. Last fall, on one
of MIR. TaylOr'S visits to Canton tba
Major asked him what had become of
HoisingtOn. Fred was still at Urbana
living modestly, and Mr.. Taylor advised
the Major accordingly, with a sugges-
ton that Fred might do better if assist
ed in some way. The Major did not for
set. A day or two since Fred Hofsing-
ton was appointed an inspector of
abandoned mineral lands for some
western state, at IS per day and expen-
ses.

NEW G. A. r. HALL.
City Posts Take Formal Possession of
the Third Story of the Court House.

the Third Story of the Court House.
The C. A. R. posts of Topeka have at
last adjusted the matter pertaining to
the lease of the hall in the third story
Of the court house which is known as
&c. A. R. hail. but which has never
been furnished or used to any extent
since the completion of the court house.
The G. A. r. posts of the city have
been content to stay where they are and
for two years the county commissioners
have waited in vain for some one to take
possession of the hall in the name of the
G. A. r. Trustees were appointed by the
various posts some time ago but still
nothing was done.
Late yesterday afternoon three of the
trustees-J. w. Sidwel of Topeka post,
J. S. Weir of Lincoln post and Columbus
North of Fort Pillow post, met with the
county commissioners and completed the
arrangements for taking possession of the
hall.
The G. A. r. posts will pay for the
lighting and heating of the hall but
there will be no other expense to them.
The hall will be furnished and equipped
by the posts and it will then be a model
c.. a. r. room. 1t is not yet known how
many of the posts will use the hall for
a meeting place. That is matter which
will be decided by the various organiza-
tions at their meetings.

Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets have no
equal in cases of nervousness, sleepless-
ness and nervous dyspepsia or for heart
and brain troubles I have now given
them to four persons and in every in
stance they have been of great value to
them. I shall recommend their use for
nervous diseases in the future. Respect
fully,
J. w. CLAUSEN, NJ. D.
DR.. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets
are prepared from a famous prescription
of the late DR.. Jean Martin Charcot, of
the Hospital D DSaltpetriere, Paris, who
was recognized by the medical profession
as the greatest specialist of the century
on nervous diseases. The prescription
has cured thousands of cases that had
developed into the worst chronic stages.
The Tablets are small and tasteless and
as easily taken as a pill They contain
in a condensed form a rare combination
of vegetable drugs, including Kola, that
give new life and vigor, they build up
the blood and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. One large box
of tablets is sufficient for one months
treatment. If you have that rundown
feeling which is the forerunner of nerv-
Gus complications, DR.. Charcot's Kola
Nervine Tablets will make a new man or

The man who occupies the most lone
some position in Shawnee county is NJ. J..
ZoHinger. chief engineer at the pumping
station of the water works. The plant
is situated near the Rock Island railroad
in the woods and there is no human habi-
tation near and the place is on no thor
oughfare. Mr.. Zollinger lives there with
his family and he thinks he is fortunate
if he has one caller week.
To relieve the monotony of his situa-
ton he has laid out the grounds sur
rounding the station in a miniature park.
There are walks and drives and roses in
profusion- The ground is well sOdded
with blue grass and the place has been
made beautiful. The station can be
reached by driving through Auburndale
into the bottom and taking the road
along the Rock Island railroad. Mr.. zol-
Hnger is pleased to receive visitors.

ROCK ISLAND REPORTS.
Earnings of the Stock About Per
Cent. the Past Year.

Chicago, June 2.-It is stated that
the annual report of the Rock Island
railroad will be made public on We'd
nesday, the date of the annual meeting.
1t is understood that the exhibit will
not show very much change in import
ant details from the previous annual
report. Earnings of the stock have
been about 8 per cent.
Officials of the Rock Island railroad
are sanguine of a very large business
for the road this year, for one reason,
on account of the continued very heavy
exports of corn. There is an enormous
amount of cereal stored along the line
of the road, and in spite of the low
price at which it is selling a fair
freight rate is being secured.

Chicago, June 2.-When the Northwest
ern Transcontinental train pulled out of
Chicago last night it carried Prince
Luigi of Savoy, who goes to Alaska to
climb Mount st. Elias, Lieut.. U. Cagni of
the italian navy went with him. The
prince will also have the assistance of
five Alpine guides, who preceded him by
day through Chicago. The party will
go direct to San Francisco and thence by
rail to Tacoma. The journey to Yaputat
bay viii be by boat. The Italians will
drive across country to the foot of Mount
st. Elias. This mountain is supposed to
be $4,000 feet high. It is a volcano and is
occasionally active. It's ascent is deemed
perilous and it's top has never been
reached.
Three unsuccessful attempts have been
made to reach the mountain summit.
The young nobleman said he was bent
upon pleasure and health alone, and pro-
tested that he cared nothing for the
glory of ascending a high mountain.
mo, I cannot say mountain climbing is
passion with me-" he said. "I am fond
of all kinds of out-of-dOor sports, and for
a while was doubtful whether should
spend the summer hunting in the Rockies
or in ascending some mountain peak"
