The selection of Prof. Lymer for
president will be generally commended.
1t will be notting new for him. for he
has had active charge of the college for
some time, during the absence of Presi-
dent Hancher in the interest of the
college. Congratulations all round.

There is cooling off of the angry

that he was forever done with popism

The coming week promises to be a
stormy one. Five hundred bills are
yet to be acted upon and tomorrow will
be the last day of the introduction of
new business. The liquor bill has not
yet been aiken up by the house, and it
is thought several days will be occupied
with it. The appropriations committee
is disposed to cut out all except what is
absolutely necessary, and the suggestion
Of the governor for some method Of in
creasing the state revenues is ignored
In the meantime the populsts are hold

through several bills to investigate the
affairs Of the state and county since the

Of a receiver for the Hot Springs COM
pany will not down says the Star. This
time it bobs up serenely before Judge
Gardner in chambers on a motion by
the defendants fer an appeal 10 the
supreme court. The hearing on the
question of the amount the appeal bond
to be furnished by the defendant was
had Thursday afternoon and the bond

ceived dispatch yesterday from his
father. Fred T. Evans, At Hot springs,
stating that he was again in charge of
the property, having filed supersedeas
bond and an appeal to the supreme
court of the state from the action of
Judge Gardner. Col. Swan, it will be
remembered, took possession of the
property, including the Evans hotel and
bath, the Minnekahta and bath, and the
plunge bath. in November, 1896, under
the terms OF a trust deed that he held,
he having received an order from Judge
Garland Of the federal court TO sell the
property. DR.. Jenning, and Mr.. Dud-
ley, who held an equity interest in the
property, then applied to Judge Gard
ner, of the South Dakota circuit court,
who appointed Fl. &. Curtiss receiver.
Col. Swan refused to abdicate in favor
of Curtiss at first. and the latter, instead
Of appealing TO the court for an order of
election, resorted to the use of arms,
and, aided by local officers. drove Col.
Swan and associates off the premises
and Mr.. Curtiss established himself
thereon The action taken by Mr..
Evans settles the matter for the time
being, and will enable Col. Swan to
carry out the courts order to sell the
improved property. The hotel was
again opened yesterday. after being
closed for short period. and is solicit
ing the patronage of its old friends"

medium of exchange that do the busi-

Breaks the Record.

Denver, Feb. 16.-The special train
from Chicago over the Chicago, Burling
ton 4 Quincy and Burlington & Missouri
River railroads, chartered by Henry ]
Maybam, Denver mining investment
broker, reached this city at 1853 O. m,
today, having run l,026 miles in eigh-
teen hours and hfty-three minutes.
This journey goes into history as the
greatest railway feat ever accomplished
The best previous railroad long distance
record was nineteen hours and fifty
seven minutes for 964 miles over the
New York Central and Lake Shore from
New York to Chicago.
Mr.. Mayham, who left New York Sun
day on the Pennsylvania Limited,
chartered special train in Chicago in
order to reach the bedside Of his dying
son, William B. Mayham, as quickly as
possible. The Burlington officials qua.
ran.eed 10 take him to Denver in twenty
four hours They made good their
guarantee and had Eve hours and seven
minutes to spare.
Froln the moment the train left Chi.
cago until it rolled into the Denver
depot, no hitch of any kind occurred.
1t flew across Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and Colorado like meteor, frequently
attaining a speed of upwards of 20 miles
an hour and averaging over GO miles an
hour for stretches Of hundred miles at
time. The details of the run are as
follows:
Chicago to Pacific Junction. 4s2 miles.
in 545 minutes.
Pacific Junction to Lincoln, GO miles,
in Ga minutes.
Lincoln to Hastings, 81 miles, in 100
minutes.
Hastings to McCook, lS2 miles, in $50
minutes.
McCook to Akron, 143 miles, in Isl
minutes.
Akron to Denver, ll2 miles, in 1913
minutes.
The actual running time, including
stops. was Is hours and SO minutes; an
average speed Of 542 miles an hour. The
actual running time excluding stops was
IL hours and 40 minutes; an average
speed of 81 5 miles an hour.
At Lincoln, Neb., Travelling Engineer
Dixon of the Burlington entered the
cab Of the engine and remained with
each engineer as he came on until the
train reached Denver. No special train
bearing high officials Of the nation ever
attracted more careful attention from
the officers Of the railway Telegrams
from all parts of the United States in-
quired concerning the progress of the
train and the possibility of Mr. Mayham
reaching the side Of his son in time at
least to grasp his hand before he was
beckoned across the dark river. At the
Burlington passenger Office in this city
the representatives were kept busy
answering questions from friends and
we'll wishers of the family But IN spite
of the Burlington's splendid record, Mr.
Mayham arrived in Denver too late to
see his son alive. The young man died
shortly after midnight.
Speaking of this record breaking run
General Manager Brown. of the c., B. &
Q. r. r., said today: 1T is not exactly
correct to suppose that the Burlington
company may not achieve still better
results under more favorable circum
