RAILROAD NEWS.
The Santa Fe Has a Costly
Wreck Below Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, March 2S.-The
Santa Fe railway has had a very costly
wreck and the officials here are careful not
to give out the facts.
It is learned, however, that an east
bound cattle train with rush orders was
ditched near San Antonio, so miles south
of this city, Saturday. and that half a
dozen or more cars are piled together and
the engine rolled down the embankment.
Most all of the cattle in the cars were
kille$ outright, and those MANNED were
shot to put them out of their sufferings.
For some time the Mexican farmers in
the vicinity of San Antonio have opposed
the railroad company building a ditch and
it is intimated they are the cause of the
wreck. In any event ties were placed
between the ties of a trestle and the cat
tie train, running at a high rate of speed
struck the ties abrOadSide and scattered
the train in every direction.
Special Officer Harris Of the railroad
company, Sheriff BursOm and several dep
uties of SocOrrO county are at the wreck
and it is reported today that they have
fastened the deed upon certain people
living in the neighborhoOd 1t was ru-
mOred here early today that the engineer,
fireman and a brakeman had been killed,
but a gentleman who reached the city
later states that the engineer saved his
life by jumping. The fireman was not
so fortunate and he received injuries that
will prove fatal.

CROWDS POUR IN
Capitol at Washington Sees the
Greatest ThrOng For
Many Years.

Washington, March 28.-Except on the
occasion of the Inauguration of a pres
ident, no such crowds as surged through
the corridors and stormed the galleries
for admission, have been seen in the
capitol in quarter of a century. Pub
lie interest in the findings of the board
of inquiry, appointed to investigate the
disaster which sent one of Uncle Sam S
nOblest vessels to the bottom of Havana
harbOr and sacrificed the lives of 26O
American sailors, was at white heat.
At daylight this morning people were
already seeking entrance to the capitol,
and hours before noon, when both houses
convened, the marble stairways were
choked with pushing, jostling people
pressing toward the galleries Not an
inch of space remained in the public
galleries at 8 o'clock, though long lines
of people, stretching down the stair
ways to the lower corridors, continued
to press forward.
Within a few minutes the reserved
galleries were thrown open; they were
completely filed with the exception of
those reserved for the diplomatic corps
and the families of the president and
cabinet.
Admission to these galleries was
strictly by card. Many distinguished
personages were in the galleries. The
hall buzzed like a bee hive with the
sound of myriad of voices. On the floor
there was almost as much excitement
as in the galleries, although the full

TWO WIRES.

The State Journal has two leased As
sociated Press wires today from Wash
ington to the State Journal office.
This is a stroke of enterprise never
before attempted by a Kansas newspa-
per.
The two wires are manned by expert
telegraph operators and the wires are
used only for news.
The State Journal every day has one
leased Associated Press wire running
into it's own building, but today there
are two.
This paper gives the news from day
to day, despite the criticism of envious
contemporaries.
The findings of the court first official
1y published today confirms the position
taken from the start, although the
Journal has been abused for weeks and
called a yellow paper" lingo paper"
etc, for printing what it believed to be
true.
The greatest care is always used to
publish accurate and reliable news and
readers may depend upon the fact that
the news given in these columns is from
the best and most reliable sources. Some
times items are printed which turn out
to be incorrect, but this is often due to
natural mistakes that people make in
telling news. Some times news must
be published before affidavits and GER
tihcates of it's correctness can be OBJ
tanned. We can'4 always wait for Off

F11Rr1NG WITH INGALLS,.

The Populists are pretending to have
fun out of the proposed nomination of
ex-senator John J. Ingalls, for congress
in the First district, but if there were
the faintest chance that he would ac-
cept such a nomination they would
rush to him with open arms. Mr.. In
gals has been lily treated by the pow
ers that be in the Republican party
Cy Leland and those who follow him,
although he is still a popular idol among
the masses of Republicans in this state,
and always will be. Likewise he is
popular among the Populists. They
like his independence of thought which
has as often armed them with weapons
to carry on their cause as it has the
Republicans. Mr.. ingalls, is not very
good partisan, which accounts for his
frequent arrival at the truth on public
questions. A partisan is like man
with one eye, who can not see what is
on the other side of his nose. Mr.. In
gals has never consented to the re-
mOval OF an eye. His vision is we'll
balanced. For this reason he as quick
ly detects the vagaries of the POpulists
as ne does the mistakes of the Repub-
lcans.
He is not one who acquiesces in the
mental and political infalliblity of gen
tlemen like Cyrus Leland, William Hig-
gins and James Simpson, high up in
the intellectual scale as we all know
them to be.
These high-minded men who now con-
troll or have recently controlled the
destinies Of the Republican party in
Kansas have not been on strictly speak
ing terms with ingalls,. They do not I'M
derstand what he is talking about. 1t
is said that the average man uses only
800 words in his conversation, while
there are some 10000 in the dictionary.
Messrs- Leland, etc, being of an econ
omicaI streak gets along on his allow
ance very well, not counting those
words which are best represented by
blanks. There is always an antipathy
toward a man who talks in phrases that
appeal to a higher intelligence than one
possesses. We naturally resent it, as
a suggestion of our inferiority. One
can't help this feeling. Leland can't
help it.
The Populists have taken advantage
of the breach between ingalls,, the
brightest star in the Republican party,
and Leland, the man who appears to
own it, and have invited him over to
their ranks where he will be apprecia-
ted. OF course ingalls, will not go, but
perhaps the invitation may fiatter him

TO HIS FACE.
Roosevelt Scores Senator Hanna
in Public Manner.

st. Louis. March 2S.-The Republic
publishes the following Washington
special:
All official Washington is talking of
the challenge which Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Theodore B. Roosevelt last
night gave to the peace party in general
and to Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio in
particular.
Mr.. Roosevelt is enthusiastically in
favor of immediate action. He wants
the Cuban question settled before the
rainy season sets in. He wants the
Spanish f1Otilla stopped before it reach
es Cuba or Porto Rico. He believes that
the administration should act without
further delay and trust to the American
people.
In the presence of Senator Hanna
and others, he said:
Il yield to no man in my loyalty to
the administration, nor in my devotion
to its interests and its fame. But Meth
er do L yield to any citizen in my re-
gard for the good name of my country
men,"
Turning to Senator Hanna and look
ing directly at him, he said that the in
terests of the business world and of
hnancierS might be paramount in the
senate, but they would not be para
mount with the American people, and II
anyone wanted to stand in the way of
the American people outside of the SEN
ate he was welcome to try the expert
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks were so
pointed that Senator Hanna turned red.
A friend of Hanna, attempting to
neutralize the remarks of the assistant
secretary, said, turning to Hanna:

THE VITAL ORGANS.
rHE KIDNEYS ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT ExCREToRY Or
CANS OF THE BODY.
Morrow's Kidn colds are Known to Be
the Most Wonderful Remedy Ever
Discovered for the Cure of All
Known Diseases of the
Kidneys.

A remedy that will cause apparently
dead and worthless organs to bristle
with life, health and energy and to per
form their functions properly, is truly
a remarkable medicine. Owing to the
extraordinary work demanded of the
kidneys and their natural delicacy. no
remedy can be more boon to mankind
than the one that will make the kid
neys do their work thoroughly and
without injury to themselves. That
remedy is Morrow's Kidneoids, prepar-
ed in yellow tablet form.
MOrToW's KidneOids have demon
strated that they are the best and
most effcacious remedy in the whole
world for curing those dreadful dis
eases, produced by overwOrking and
straining those delicate organisms,
known as kidneys.
OF all organs of the body the kidneys
have the most important functions to
perform and therefore. require the
greatest care. Like all machinery they
are able to do little more work than is
their normal portion, but they cannot
stand this necessarily and must not be
imposed upon. They are SO refined and
delicate in their structure that the least
over taxing of any other part of the
human body is apt to produce in them
serious troubles. which, if not attend
ed to at once, will lead to serious COM
plications, resulting soon in death.
Eating too much, drinking too much
irregular habits, lifting heavy weights
exposing ones self to drafts and bad
weather ana a lhouSaHu ana one other
excuses and indiscretiOns affect the
kidneys, making them sick and puny
and thereby spreading throughout the
system poisons, that would in health be
thrown off.
MorrOw's Kidneoids are revelation to
the medical profession and pharma cists
both in the process of making them and
their efficacy in all kidney troubles
which they are guaranteed to cure no
matter of how long standing They
are as much talked about today as
were x-rays a few months ago, but the
sphere of usefulness and importance Of
Kidneoids is more reaching and effect
i've.
You can get Morrow's Kidneoids at
all dealers at so cents per box or $3.50
for six boxes. Sent postpaid by the
Herb Medicine Co, Springfield, O.. up

Rise or J. E. HURLEY.
Present Santa Fe Superintendent of
the New Mexico Division Got His
Start at Cottonwood Falls.

The rise of J. E. Hurley, division su-
perintendent of the New Mexico and
Rio Grande divisions of the Santa Fe,
is an example of how an industrious
and faithful man can rise from the most
humble position on a railroad to one OF
importance and responsibility.
About 10 years ago a man by the
name of Jim Hurley was driving a
hack between Cottonwood Falls and
Strong City. He carried passengers
from the railway station at Strong City
to the Union hotel at Cottonwood Falls
An old and hospitable F'renchman by
the name of A. Ferlet was the propr1e-
tor of the hotel, as he is yet, and was
Hurley's employer.
While waiting for the trains at Strong
City the hack driver would spend his
time inspecting the engines and learn
ing what he could about biography.
After a time he secured place hand
ling baggage at Strong City, and later
he became station agent at Florence,
and he gradually received promotions.
until now, he is a superintendent OF
two large and important divisions on
the Santa Fe. His divisions are pro-
nounced by many to be the best OF any
on the road and his most intimate
friends still call him by the name he
was known by when he was handling a
long whip and Whirling it around the
ears of his roam team-just plain Jim
