ALMOST FROZEN TO DEATH.
Beating His Way From ST.
Louis to Kansas City

Henry Smith. a young man about q
years of age, was taken from a box car
yesterday morning in the Missouri Pacific
yards in a pitiful condition. Both of his
feet were frozen, and MS ears and nose
were also frostbitten. The police ambu-
lance was summoned and the unfortunate
man was taken to Bethany hospital, where
he now lies in a critical condition.
After receiving some nourishment Smith
was sufficiently restored to relate the story
of his painful experience Saturday night.
He boarded a freight train Saturday after
noon at st. Louis bound for this city where
he expected to go to work at the Armour
packing house this morning. He had a let
ter in his pocket from a foreman at Ar
mour's. in which he was promised posi-
tion.
Smith claims that when the train left the
yards at st. Louis the weather was very
mild and he anticipated no suffering during
the nights ride. However, the sudden and
radical change in the weather Saturday
night caught him in a helpless position.
He says he realized that he was in danger
OF freezing TO death and kept running to
and fro in the icar and beating himself TO
keen his blood in circulation. AT about
o'clock I'm the morning he became exhaust
ed and fell in heap in one corner of the
car where he remained until yesterday
morning. when he was taken out more
dead than alive. AS the train stopped in
the yards in this city he shouted for help.
and, fortunately for him, his feeble cries
attracted the attention of one of the train
crew, who Immediately went 10 his res
cue The police ambulance was sum-
moned and the half frozen man removed
to "a hospital. The attending physicians
state that amputation of Smiths feet may
be necessary.

OUR oyERHEATED ROOMS:
American Houses Are Kept ut Too
High a Temperature.

From the Boston Advertiser.
1t has long been a subject of complaint
on the part of some Europeans that
American houses are overheated. 1t is
also claimed that one result of this over
heating is that Americans are more sub
Ject to lung and throat diseases than they
would be if their houses We're kept at
lower temperature during the winter. This
IS probably true up 20 certain point, but
there are some ways in which the danger
can be avoided eVen where the tempera-
ture of residences is not low.
1t seems to be the general idea that the
person who passes from an overheated
room into the cold air of the streets is in
serious danger of catching cold. Conse-
wintertime. because they do not like to run
the risk of catching cold by going out. In
this they often make a decided mistake,
because the majority of colds not
caught by going from Il warm tempera
ture into cold temperature. provided the
person making the change INDUCES in rea-
sonable exercise and does not remain out
doors too long. The real danger of CATCH
ing cold comes upon the return into Il
warm room.
As matter of fact. many physicians hold
to the belief that the stimulation of thD
circulation and nerves caused by warm
room often prevents u person from catch
ing cold when going into II temperature
that is in the neighborhood of zero. The
danger rather comes in the sudden rush
of a person, chilled by intense cold. into
an excessively warm room. If veStibule
or waiting room were maintained in most
houses at a temperature of about 60 or 65
deg, and a pause were made there after
coming in from Il walk in the winter air,
colds would not be so frequent in this
country. The suggestion is worth needing.

TROUBLE FOR LEEDY.
LOCAL POPS AND DEMOCRATS IN
OPEN REBELLION.
AT WAR OVER POLICE SYSTEM.
SOME OLD ROCKS ON WHICH MANY
SHIPS ARE WRECKED.
Friends of Jack Doyle, the Disap-
pointed Aspirnnt for Chief of
Police, Are Stirring Up n

Frozen in a Car.
AT WAR OVER POLICE SYSTEM

The Metropolitan police system in Kan
sas City, Kas., has been "hoodoo' TO
every governor OF the state since its estab-
lishment, about ten years ago, and from
present indications Governor Leedy's eX-
perience will be no exception. His trou-
bles have already commenced from this
source. and each day they are assuming
larger proportions. The appointments of
Messrs. Horton, McCambridge and Jenkins
as members of the local police board. which
were his first appointments in this city,
have proven unsatisfactory to some of the
aspirants for the positions, and large
sized rebellion is now on in the Populist
and Democratic camps.
The fight is being made by Jack Doyle
and his friends. Doyle was a candidate for
chief of police, and as the new board is
known TO be a Quarles board, he and his
friends propose to block the confirmation
of the new commissioners when their
names are submitted to the senate by the
governor. The big kick is centered in the
Sixth ward, the home of Doyle.
The dissatisfied are agitating the remon-
STRANGE movement, and they hope to ere
ate big contention before the senate con-
firms the appointment of the new commits
sioners. An Indignation meeting has been
billed for tonight, when an effort will be
made to secure the passage of bitter reso-
The meeting will be held at Mclean &
McAnany's hall, corner Fifth street and
Kansas avenue. 1t was rumored about
last night that the legion of friends of the
new commissioners would pack" the
meeting and turn it into a ratification
meeting instead of remonstrance.,
The general public is well pleased with
the new board and If the demonstrators
get to agitating things too much the Tax
payers League threatens to take a hand
in the matter. However, II is stated upon
the best of authority, that should the SEN
ate fail to confirm the new board. the gov
ernor will refuse to make other appoint
ments and abolish the board. Those in a
position to speak intelligently on the mat
ter say that there is no possibility of the
senate failing TO confirm the appointments.
Friends of the governor advised him to
abolish the board before he made any ap-
pointments. but the many pie hunters in
this city persuaded him to appoint Il new
board II is predicted by many that he
will wish he had kept his hands off of the
police board before his term of Office eX-
pireS.

WANTED HAY FOR HIS cow.
City Has Trouble in Placing an
Order by Telephone.

He had spent the G5 years of his life on
a farm, with the result that he had ac-
cumulated what he considered enough of
this worlds goods to spend the rest of his
days in ease. The luNuries of life in Il
metropolitan city he considered would be
much TO the liking of both himself and
his hardworking wife. Accordingly, much
against the advice of his less ambitious
neighbors. he purchased small piece of
property out near the eastern city limits
of Kansas City. Like nearly every other
farmer who moves to town. he burdened
himself with the care and expense of keep
ing COW. " cause he'd swan if he'd ever
GT'ink that pale blue stuff peddled in wag>
onS.
But city life presented many perplexng
and oftentimes eNasperating problems.
which he of rural turn of mind tried hard
to solve. He soon came to the conclusion
that the best way to turn what had even
the appearance of a joke at his country
ways was to resent ii in as terse manner
as possible. Among other things which he
did his best TO accustom himself to. in or
der that he might enjoy ali the luxuries
which his new environments afforded, was
the telephone. After several trials he got
the hang of them telephones
A few days ago he was i'll need of some
hay for his COW. the supply which he had
brought from his farm having been eX-
hausted. As was his wont when in need of
information, he went to the proprietor Of Il
nearby drug store and told him of his need
and asked where he should so TO get the
necessary feed. The obliging druggist knew
of a feed store some distance downtown,
so he told his rurigenous friend the name
of the firm. and also that 1t had tele-.
phone Then. as he had done several times
before. he helped the old man md the tel
ephone number.
Then. as the druggist tells the incident.
the old man rang the telephone and awk-
wardly placing the receiver to his ear,
called out the desired number.
Hello. Is this the feed store? he asked.
Wall, l want ye I bring me two bales
of hay. I'm clean out
There was a pause. The old man sudden
ly became greatly agitated and clenchinG
his fist and yelling into the transmitter he
exclaimed: why. ye gol burned fool. Fer
the COW, of course. Dye think I'd eat it,
And with that he banged the receiver into
its place and turned 10 go.
why. what's the matter?' asked the
druggist. for the old mans eyes Were snap

NEW WOMAN WHIPS a BUM.
"DOn't Let Her at Sic" Was Davis
Only Plea in Court.

From the Baltimore Herald.
William Davis. who sometimes goes by
the name of William Stanley, has decided
that the new woman is L trifie too swift
for him. To use a popular phrase. he went
against one Friday night and he bears
marks to show that she knew how TO han
die her fists
Davis himself is not INT subject for pity
because he thought this new woman was
an easy mark and tried to play her for all
1t was worth. But there Is where he made
his mistake.
Davis, who Is one of that class of indi-
viduals known as gentlemen of leisure. "
had failed to stake himself for supper Fri
day night, and when 9 o'clock rolled around
he was feeling hungry. The thought struck
him that il would be good thing 10 eat.
He was in the neighborhood of Arlington
avenue and Lombard street. On the south
eastern corner is y saloon. conducted by
Susanna Lemke, n widow, who attends TO
all details of the business herself.
Davis may or may not have known this
fact; but at the sight OF the saloon he grew
suddenly hopeful. lie went in. and. when
the proprietress appeared. said he wanted
some soup. Mrs. Lea IKE said she had no
soup. 1t was all dist. 'buted to customers
NO soup?'' said Davis. Then give me
some crackers and cheese.
IN do nothing of the sort, and if YOU
don't get out of here I'll have you thrown
out" responded Mrs. Lemke. who had been
somewhat rolled at the way Davis ad-
dressed her.
Davis cowed and sullenly retreated
through the door into Lombard street. Mrs.
Lemke thought she had gotten rid of him
and returned to her household duties. Five
minutes later she heard the mufiled sound
OF footsteps in the store. and. dropping her
work, haStened to the front. When she en-
tered the barrOOm she saw Davis behind
the bar evidently at work on the till.
Now. Mrs. Lemke is woman of action
Her muscles are pretty well developed. The
usual course for one of her sex would have
been to have screamed 'Murderi Police
But Mrs. Lemke did nothing of the kind
She looked at Davis for about the one hum
dredth part of a second. and then she eN-
claimed with whitening scorn:
You dirty villain
There was Il rustic of skirts and the
flash of an angry face behind the bar. and
them bin- bang, bang, bin.
Help, I'm being killed..
Take that, and that. Now. you VIII try
to rob poor woman. Will YOU You VII
lainous ScoUndrel. Don't you attempt to get
away. III punch you again. Come along
here
She grabbed him by the leg and pulled
him from behind the bar, out into the mid
die of the room.
Get up she commanded. Now get out
of here and she enforced the second or
der with n thump that sent Davis sprawl
ing out on the pavement. His hurried and
unceremonious exit was witnessed by Or
ficer Moore. who immediately investigated.
He heard Mrs. Lemkes story and then put
Davis under arrest.
In the morning at the police court. before
Justice Roberts, Mrs. LeInke said she had
examined her cash drawer after she had
thrown Davis out and had found 80 cents
missing. This she charged Davis with TAX
