EPISODE at a Rnilwn, Crossing.

(FTOm the Topeka State J0urn1l-)
There's a romantic story in several
chapters being carried on near the main
line of the Santa Fe. between Topeka and
Emporia. and if all the facts were known
some people would be surprised. There's
a certain engineer whom we will call
Brown for convenience, his engine viii be
No. a for the same purpose. Brown has
been in the habit of making a visit when
he stopped to whistle for certain rail-
road crossing. He would stop. pull the
whistle. jump to the ground and a roman
tic young girl would appear from the
shadow of the tree and allow herself TO
be gathered in her future protector arms
while a shower of kisses would be rain
Sd upon her upturned face, II would all
take but a minute and Brown would
Chamber back into his engine cab and pull
out.
This has been going on for some time
and the fireman had become so accustom-
ed to 1t that he would reach over open
the throttle and get the engine started as
the engineer would climb back upon the
seat in the cab. One night Engineer
Brown was absent from the run and an
other engineer took his place. When the
crossing was reached the new engineer
stopped and whistled and saw woman
emerge from the shadow of the tree.
Whats that?" he asked the fireman.
why it's Browns girl waiting to be
kissed" replied the fireman and he ex-
planned to the engineer all about It.
"Well.' said the new man on the run
II guess I can kiss her as well as
Brown" and he climbed down out of the
cab and after the fireman had heard ev-
eral loud explosions from the outside~Jhe
engineer came clambering back into the
cab chuckling 10 himself
Engineer Brown was absent from the
run for several days and when the girl
asked him how it came that he had a
mustache one night and none the next
night and then a mustache again the story
came out and now Engineer Brown is
trying to figure out how many of the en-
sineerS on the line have been kissing his
sweetheart.

factory. Gunner Michael w. Gilmar-
tin, now on duty at the New York navy
yard, fired this gun more than a hun
dred times at the Indian Head proving
grounds. That was some years ago
before the gun was mounted aboard
ship. Since it was first shipped 10 the
testing ground this gun has been fired
more than 200 times, and il is Just as
Mt for service today as the day il left
the factory. No gun abroad can show
such a record.
The Miantonomoh's guns. it must be
remembered, were among our early
guns. In strength and stability they
are inferior TO the newer ones. The war
with Spain may result in data from
which may be determined the average
life Of the 12-inch and 13-inch guns, but
ordnance officers say the war will have
to be a long one TO put any Of our
heavy guns out of action. That all of
the new guns will be serviceable after
as many as 800 firings is the opinion of
many of the experts, and some place
the figure much higher. Abroad the
gunmakers doubt that their big hoop
ed" guns would live through a single
heavy engagement. American experts
believe that American guns will out
live their usefulness-be serviceable
when their places are usurped by guns
of still finer construction.
While none of our big guns has been
long enough in service to indicate how
many more times il may be safely fired,
the fact That none of the Washington
guns has ever burst in service goes a
long way toward proving the superior
ity of American guns over those of
foreign make. Down at Indian Head
the other day a gun was destroyed by
the explosion of high-explosive shell
in the breech, during an experiment
Fortunately no one was injured. But
abroad gun accidents under service con-
ditions are OF not infrequent occur
renee. Reports from our naval at
taches show that these accidents are
seldom reported in the newspapers, ex-
cepting where there is loss of life. Es-
pecially is this true in Germany where
a number Of big Krupps have burst.
The good behavior of American big
guns is only another illustration of the
ability of the Yankee to outstrip the
foreigner.

Gaming I'm Favor.

Bowling is gaining very strong hold
, on Calumet people this season and IS be-
coming quite a fayorite sport. At the
several local bowling alleys il is INDUCED
10 by large numbers and although there
is not as much rivalry among the vari-
GUS local clubs as there used to be and
hot match games are not as common as
they we're last season, still all it needs is
a little spark to kindle the flame aud
there will surely follow challenges galore.
The local clubs have been recruiting
their membership with some very good
material and there are at least three or
four good local teams. In Laurium the
team has not been doing much this sea-
son, but the one alley there is largely
patronized. The travelling men say that
IN down the road towns bowling is the
iavorite indoor sport this winter and is
played a great deal in all the cities.
TIE Y. M. G. A. bowling alley ia always
being used and IN the evening there are
AeReral good match games in progress.

several clubs will be formed among the

Talking Wheels Already.

The mild weather OF late has caused a

il the soft weather would only keep up
Tor few weeks, the bicycle riders would
not have to wait long to again ride their

every indication points to an early spring

mess ever known in Calumet, They are

Wires Down All Over
the City Last Ev-
ening.
The Sleet And Snow Storm
The Cause or the Lights being Out
Numerous Telephones Also Out
or order.

The city was in darkness last night, a,
least that part OF it that depended onelec
tricity for lisht, and business in Red
Jacket and Laurium was almost at a
standstill after o'clock on that account
The peculiar atmospheric conditions
which prevailed all day yesterday were
responsible for the trouble. Wires
were broken all over the city and the
electric light service was not the only
= one to suffer, for many OF the telephones
were out of order on account OF the bro
ken wires.
The rain which fell during the greater
part OF the afternoon and the humidity
OF the air formed circles OF ice about the
wires which proved to be very heavy
weight on them. The wires did not
/ begin to give way until the strong wind
sprung up about 6 o'clock. then they
began to break and it was decided to
shut off the circuit from the plant at
Lake Linden as most OF the broken wires
we're on the lines between that city and
Calumet. A force OF linemen set to work |
at once repairing the wires and they |
% worked until late at night, but all the |
broken wires were not fixed this morning |
and Supt. Hosking was about the bust
est man in town for the greater part OF
the day.
1t is expected that everything will be in
running order by this evening, although
the weather today is not apt to help the
men at work any and lie more apt to
make things worse A well known elec-
trician in speaking OF the ice on the wires
stated that the weight held up by one
OF the telephone poles on Fifth street
would amount to tons. When it is fig
ured that the ice on each wire was over
an inch in diameter and that there are
over 200 wires on the line, each with
span of a hundred feet, it can easily be
imagined what the total weight on one
OF the poles amounts to.
The absence OF the light last night in
terfered more or less with everything.
Meetings and things OF that kind had to
ne postponed or the halls were dimly
lighted by means OF the old lamps that !
had been stored away for year or more.
Some peculiar things happened on &C.
count OF the going out of the lights.
