A LUCKY DOG INDEED.

Abrahms, a prominent business man or Omaha, who, with his wife and mother, was on his way to visit relatives Tn thls city.
 The family were bringing out with them & valuable hunting dog, that was taken care of en route in the baggage car. When the accident occurred the family left the sleeper as soon as possi- ble and hurried to the front part or the train, which was merely mass Of splin- tered and twisted debris, the baggage-car in particular being nothing more than a heap of broken lumber and scrap iron.
 Mrs. Abrahms, who was in advance of the rest, had gone forward, carrying a few samples of medicines she happened to have with her, in the hope of being able to do something for some of the suf- ferers. When she arrived on the scene she found the place patrolled by armed guards to prevent any possible attempt at robbery, and on inquiry learned that everything possible had already been done for the unfortunate victims.
 She accordingly turned to go back to her sleeper. when something moving amid the wreckage attracted her attention. Ap- preaching closer she saw the family dog still chained to a twisted post, calmly viewing the surrounding chaos with the same unconcern that will one day char acterize Macaulay's New Zealander when he sits on that broken arch of London bridge and Contemplates the surround ing desolation.
 The dog was the only living thing fir the baggage-car that was not seriously injured.

HIS SIN FOUND HIM OUT.

 sons does not wish to be quoted by name. This gentleman Is fond of all sorts of amusements, but the pastime that Is particularly pleasing to him Is the one in which a full hand Is reported to beat three of kind, and to the perfecting of his knowledge of the various intricacies of this game he has heretofore been wont to devote most of his spare time and incidentally some of his spare change, meeting the objections of his wife with the argument that there could hardly be anything wrong in what he was doing, as the leading men of the na- ton were sent to Washington by their admirers and paid s5oO0 a year to do ex- actly the same thing. His wife, who is patient little woman, rested satisfied with this explanation, contenting herself with sending the bellboy to round up her recalcitrant spouse whenever the hour became too late. A few days ago the wifes parents. who are prominently con- nected with church work in the East and imagine that their son-in-law Is the very incarnation of virtue, came out on a visit During the first evening that the old people spent with their children the son-in-law rang for icewater. He waited and waited. but no boy came to answer the call. Finally. after the button had been pressed number of times, the door
 
 were electrified to hear the following "Oh, Mrs. x, think your husband must be running up against some outside game. I have hunted for him in every saloon and clubroom for two blocks around, but can't find him." That pan ticular bellboy will get no tip this month c. Hedemann and F.

anything save our complete independ-

never been stronger among the Cuban
people than at present. Our feeling in
this respect is mistaken and the cOun-

plebiscite were taken today I believe
95 per cent Of the people of Cuba would
vote for independence.
''At the same time we recognize that
annexation to the United States is inc

WHAT FOR FRANK BROWN.
A Variance of Opinions as to What
He Will Receive.

The politicians have a new lead in the
direction of Frank L. Brown, who planned,
in large measure, the details of the Re
publican campaign which was explained IN
Yesterdays State Journal, and now he is
talked of for clerk of the supreme court
or insurance commissioner.
It is said that the place in the supreme
court is already pledged to F.. P. Coch-
rane of Cottonwood Falls. If this be
true Mr.. Brown viii be pushed for insur-
ance commissioner, according to another
rumor which is now in circulation. 1t
was said soon after the election that Mr..
Brown would be clerk of the federal court
in the event a new judge was appointed
under the provisions of the bill which
Charlie Curtis is pushing in congress.
Later it was said that Brown was to be
clerk of the state board of railroad com
rnissioners. Out of this array, politicians
which one he is after is not known be-
cause he has kept his own counsel in the

TO BUILD A NEW FACE.
Doctors Will Help Out the Victim of
a Gun Accident

New York, Nov. 25-The surgeons with
st. GATHERINGS hospital in the borough
of Brooklyn, have in prospect a task
which is likely to attract world wide
attention. John Wagenblast, a few
days ago while carelessly handling p
shotgun, blew off the front and left
side of his face. The doctors are plan
ming to build him an artificial face by
what is known as plastic surgery. The
work will be in charge of Dr. J. c.
Kennedy, visiting surgeon at the hos
pital, and Dr.James SSlavin, the house
surgeon.
Surgeon Slavin says: 1.-THE first step
will be to replace the nose by one Of
rubber or cellulOid. We shall draw up
the skin on either side of the nose 50
that it will slightly overlap the edges.
1.-The cheek bone and the bone over
the eye will be replaced by plates of sill
yer or platinum. We hope to be able to
use the old roof of the mouth without
any plates and to save the teeth. When
once we get the nose and plate in place
and the process of healing his adVanc-
ed we will begin grating skin on the
bare surface. This skin we will take
from the mans thighs. 1t will require
a long time and much patience on the
part of the suffering man, but we hope
to make a respectable job of him be-
fore we are through. The last. step will
be to replace the lost eye with one of
glass;

future of Cuba would inevitably be an

said was the natural outcome of recent
events. but he denied that Cuban lead
ers have that aspiration Independence
which so long animated the CUBAN peo-
pie is to be temporarily satisfied. They
wish for a short period at least to see
their own flag waving over free

They recognize that annexation would
come and that shortly and by the I'M

themselves, but they desire to see the
cause for which they had fought crown

CABLING STOPPED.
BY Order of General Wood at Santiago
de Cuba.

New York, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Santiago says:
General Wood has issued an order
prohibiting gambling in any form I'M
Santiago with a penalty of 81, 900 for
the infractiOn of the law. Up to the
card games of every kind have been
played publicly in the clubs and sa-
looms and in camps. The San Carlos
club was the resort of Cubans and
Americans, who spent their evenings
gambling at the baccarat table. Amons
the Cubans were seen American officers
and betting was carried on everywhere.
Under the Spanish regime gaming was
anational institution and as the fascina-
ton of the play caused considerable
embarra ssment to the American sol
diers, Gen. Wood took the action. Gu
bans heard the order with establishment
and protested, but a strict observance
Of it has been enforced.

Will Occupy Chinese Territory in the
Spring.

New York. Nov. 25-A special to the
World from London says:
The Russian garrisons in China are to
be largely increased next spring, accord
ing to dispatch from odessa based up
on authoritative military information.
The military establishment at Port Ar
thur, the strongly fortified post at the
entrance of the Gulf of Pechili, which
China has virtually ceded to Russia, will
be raised to 5O,00O troops of all arms. Here
IS to be one terminus of the tranSsiberian
railway, where there will be an open port
the year round.
The force. to be sent to Ta1ien Wan may
pc inferred from the fact that barrack
room IS to be provided there for - 900
men, This is the point on the Liza Tang
peninsula of Manchuria not far from Port
Arthur, which Great Britain insisted must
not fan into foreign hands.
The dispute over it threatened at one
time to lead to war, as il is a vital point
Tor British trade throughout Manchuria.
Such movements of troops will amount
TO virtual occupation by Russia of Man
