Err. FEE HONORED.
Chosen Vice President by the Gem
eraI Passenger Agents.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 20.-The Ameri-
can Association of Passenger Agents,
now in session here, with delegates
present representing the principal rail
ways of the United States, Canada and
Mexico, has adopted resolutions calling
attention to the necessity for state and
national legislation against the ticket
scalping evil. State legislatures that
have not already done SO, are urged to
adopt laws confning the sale Of tickets
to the properly authorized agents of
the transportation companies, and at
the same time require, under
suitable penalties, the redemption of
every ticket or part of ticket that may
be not used. Congress is also request
ed to pass the so-called anti-scalping
bills now before that body.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: W. A Turk, of the
Southern road, president; Charles S.
Fee, of the Northern Pacific, vice presi-
dent, and Mr.. Smith, reelected secre-
tary. President Turk announced the
following executive committee for the
next term: Mr. Sebastian, of the Rock
Island, chairman; Messrs. Lee, of
Fhiladelphia; De Haven, of Grand
Rapids; D. 1. Edwards, of Cincinnati;
c. P. Atmore, of Louisville; Kendall, of
Boston; Nicholson, of st. Louis. The
following cities were placed in noni-
nation for the place to hold the next
meeting: Detroit, Halifax, Chicago,
Omaha, Columbus and New York. De-
troit was chosen on the first ballot.

LOSE SKIN OR LIBERTY.
Paul Czyet May Replace CuticIe He
Burned Or Go to Jail.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-whether to risk
being held to the grand jury on a
charge of assault or to part with a
portion of his cuticle so that his vic
tim may benefit by a slin-g grating
operation is the alternative which
faces Paul Czyet, lad of fourteen
years, who two weeks ago threw hot
water on Anton KWitke, scalding him
so severely that an operation is i'm
peratiye. In Justice sabath's court
yesterday the boy was given his
choice of the two evils, and was al
lowed ten days to consider the ques-
ton.
Paul lives at 1872 Forty-eighth
street, and, like his victim, was en-
ployed by the Wing Nickel Plating
company. Two weeks ago the lads
had some difficulty while at work in
the shop, and Paul, in a fit of anger
seized a bucket of boiling water and
threw it upon Anton, scalding the lat
ter so that it was not thought that he
could recover The injured lad was
taken to private hospital at 10
Washington boulevard, where he lin
gered between life and death for three
days and nights However, the boy
finally gained strength, and it was
decided if any person would sacrifice
the skin a grating operation should
be performed.
In the justice court, when the evil
dence was heard. DR.. Prescott sug-
gested as a compromise that Paul be
made a party to the grating, and
thus replace the skin he had burnt
from his companions back and arms.
The prisoner was unable to give an
answer, SO his honor passed the mat
ter, and if the lad consents to the
proposition legal prosecution will be
dropped.

NEGROES WITH A BISHOP.
PREPARING FOR THE FIRST TIME

A SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION MEETING.
Minnesota One of Nine States Repre-
sented by Delegates at the Chi
cagO Gathering.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 20.-The
usual services of prayer and litany pre-
ceded the business of the Episcopal
missionary council today. The Rev. Mr..
Paddock, representing the Church Stu
dents Missionary association, was in
troduced. The Rev. Paddock is a son
of Bishop Paddock, of Washington. He
spoke on the work of the church stu
dents and asked the council for aid to
forward the movement among students.
The Rev. Mr.. Sanford, Of Oklahoma.
spoke with regard to the work of the
church among the Indians in that ter
ritory and in the Indian Territory. He
said there were $4,000 Indians and only
very small and inadequate mission
ary force-one that did not by any
means cover the work to be done. He
asked that the council consider the
great needs of the work and make an
appropriation to help them, and offered
resolution to that effect. The reso-
luton was referred to the committee
on the board of managers.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, spoke
on the resolution of the Rev. Mr.. San
of a large element of intruders among
the Indians, and that the church must
make greater efforts in that direction.
Bishop Whipple called attention to
the Importance of the trip to Nashotah
where the remains of DR.. Breck will
be inferred, and then branched off into
discussion Of Rev. CartenSen's pa
per on the prayer book as a mission
ary work. He spoke in favor of the
effect of the book and gave number
of instances where the inspirations Of
some of the best and ablest workers Of
the church had been derived from it.
The Rev. W. V. Tunnel, a colored
man, read a strong paper on mission
ary work among colored people. The
speaker said it was time the church
adopted a method of conducting this
branch of its missionary work that
would fit and harnaonize with the facts
involved. He scored the present
methods as being out of date and not
doing all that should be done by the
church in behalf of the colored race.
He concluded by saying more scope
should be given to the race and they
longer as slaves.
1t is predicted by we'll posted dele
gates that the Rev. Mr.. Tunnels pa
per will be the cause of a warm con-
troversy before the subject is settled.
There are no colored bishops in the
Episcopal church in America. and it is
evident from the position taken that
the colored church commission have
concluded that the time has come when
they should be recognized. Rev DIR.
J. H. Eccleston delivered a brief ad-
dress on missions in Africa, and Rev.
DR.. w. H. Boone, of Shanghai, told
about the missions in China.

money or other property has been real
lied by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., from
the sale or other disposition Of the as
sets of the railroad company and in
whose possession these proceeds are

that orders of the court may be issued
making persons or corporations which
have received any such asset or prop
erty, or the proceeds thereof, from j.
P. Morgan & Co., and who are now
possessed of any part Of such assets
of property, parties to the suit. Mr..
Hoadley further asks that an account
ing be held to determine the claim
and rights Of the complainants, when
such claims are due, and the amount
of these claims, after giving legal credit
for all assets and property held as Sc
curity therefor, to the extent available
tberefrom as security for the complain
ant. 1t is also asked that final decree
be rendered against the members of
the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and
other defendants, subjecting the as
sets and property of the Union Pacific
Railway company or their proceeds,
which now be in possession of Drexel,
Morgan & Co., or J. P. Morgan & Co,
to the lien of the United States, as Sc
curity for the residue which may be
due the government on such an ac-
counting, because of the issue of sub

SUMMARY VENGEANCE
by Kansas Mob Upon
Murderer.

MANHATTAN, Kan, Oct. 90
Crowds of excited citizens thrOng the
streets here tonight in the vicinity of
the county jail, threatening summary
vengeance upon Ike Warren, the muir
derer of Sheriff S. B. Lard, who was
killed today at LeonardVille, village
twenty miles northwest of Manhattan.
Warren, who had been arrested by the
sheriff, shot the latter, killing him and
attempted to escape. His flight was
stopped by Banker Sparks, of Leonard
vile. who sent bullet into the neck
of the murderer summary lynching
was prevented only by the hurried re-
noval of the prisoner to Manhattan.
News of the crime was telegraphed
here, and when the train bearing the
murderer arrived at $50 o'clock a
crowd of 600 men surrounded the sta
ton. The cry of Lynch him" was i'm
mediately heard, and the crowd gath
cred in upon the prisoner. The six
deputy sheriffs who had Warren in
custody drew their revolvers and
threatened to shoot the first man who
made a hostile move The murderer
who was shaking with fright, was
drawn to an omnibus, the six deputies
Jumped in, the horses were lashed into
a run. and the reins were not drawn
until the county Jail was reached. The
mob followed and soon surrounded the
county iail. demanding the life of the
murderer.
Deputy Sheriff Marsh told them the
murderer would probably die of his
wounds. and this seemed to quiet the
crowd for a time. At II o'clock it is
renorted that several secret meetings
are being held with the intention of
ORGANIZING for a lynching.

BURLINGTON EARNINGS.
For October the Gross Will BE Over
Four Millions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-It is reported
that the gross earnings Of the Burling
ton road for October will be something
over $4,000, 900, or an increase of $500, 900
over the same month of last year.
Never before in the history of the Bur
lington road has it had on hand so
much money from earnings as at the
present time The treasurer of the
road has called for offers of 4 and 5
per cent Iowa dividend bonds, to take
up $228,00 of sinking funds. The call
for per cents met with no response
and that for per cents met with little
result. The replies were far from be-
ing enough to take up the amount set
aside for purchase and cancellation.
Beginning tonight the Chicago &
Northwestern road will resume first
class sleeping car service between Chi
cago and Portland, Oregon, via the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line.
The meeting Of the executive officers
of the Western roads, which was held
for the purpose Of seeing if something
could not be done in the way Of killing
off the unauthorized freight tariffs that
have been in effect on the Western
roads for some time, has been COM
PEELED to give UP the idea for the time
being and the tariffs will remain III
effect as heretofore.

BETTER Seed Wheat Needed.

JAMESTOWN. n. D., Oct 2O-The light
yield and poorer quality of wheat raised in
the state this year are believed to be largely
due to the seed. This has been deterioating
for several years. There is very little No /
hard wheat this year. Most farmers have
paid very little attention OF late to getting
better quality of seed, and homegrown wheat
has been planted year after year Practical
steps are now being taken to secure a Better
quality of seed for the wheat growers il this
part of the state. and similar efforts will
probably be made elsewhere Assurances
from both the big roads that they will handle
such wheat at half rates have been secured.

City Ownership of Street Railways.

SIOUX CITY, TO- Oct. 2O.-Ultimate mu-
nicipal control of street railways was the OBJ
ject of resolution introduced in the council
here last night, providing for the appoint
ment of an investigating committee to as
certain what arrangements be made in
that direction. OF Sioux Cfty's five lines two
pay small profits. The others are burdens on
the stockholders. If the city can obtain con-
maintain them, ii is thought operating ex-
penses can be sufficiently lessened to make
them pay. The resolution will probably be
adopted.

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. pa mining com
many has been organized here recently, but
its existence and the purpose for which 1t is
formed are being kept rather quiet. It's object
is to acquire title leases and control of inde-
pendent iron mines and undeveloped proper
ties on the Mesaba range. Those interested
in the company believe that an independent
railroad will be built to the range, and in
that event the control of the output of in
dependent mines will be very valuable in
making freight contracts:

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, Oct 20.-Royalton
has been paying more for wheat this fall than
Little Falls and the merchants here have lost
the farm trade. They finally formed an asso-
citation. and are now paying full terminal
charges less the actual expenses. They de-
clare further that they will compete with all
points in this vicinity in the wheat market
- otbar localities can afford to handle wheat
at a loss for the sake of getting trade, the
association will do likewise.
