There is not a. town in the west that is
SO universally dishgured as Wichita is
with telephone. telegraph and electric rail-
way posts, with signs and pastors tackled
and pasted. About once a week some
travelling bill-poster comes along, hires a
lot of boys, and proceeds to paint the
town poles some color or other with tin
or waterproof advertisements One of the
worst features of II is, in addition to the
Disagreement of resident property, these

are scattered along the curbing and side

he gave orders for the engineer to hitch
on TO every car in the yards and yank
them down to Wichita The veteran en-
gine-driver only smiled scornfully at this,
muttering something about the nerve and
inexperience of the agent. The orders,
nevertheless. were imperative, and the task
was commenced. When, after hours Of
persistent efforts of the yard force, the
long train stood on the main track in
front of the depot TO receive final running
orders. To the dis1nay of the agent, he
beheld 1o4 cars stretching away into the
suburbs of the city. No conductor OF crew
could be induced TO go out with the
retinue so Mr.. Pierce sent the engineer
alone. He wired for q, clear track to
Wichita, and the procession commenced
one Saturday night. He waited patiently
for word from Wichita saying the train
had arrived, but in vain. Midnight came
and went, and the hours dragged painfully
along till daylight, and still no response
from here, the outfit had not arrived or
been heard from. Regular trains of i'm
portance, including express and mail
trains, had to De held at both Newton and
Wichita. and confusion and dire distrac-
ton held sway. But the nervy agent had
obeyed orders explicitly, and he only
grimly smiled, even though the smile was
haggard and wan. At last, a little after
noon on Sunday. the caravan pulled slowly
and solemlly into this station and with
the help Of two more local yard engines
was scattered over the yards, and for once
the Newton sdings were free from unused
cars. The superintendent had been obeyed.

RELATED TO WILLIAM


| Pat Mckinley, one Of the oldest shippers
to the Union Stock Yards was on the mar
/ ket one day last week, and to 2 group Of
! the yards officials confessed that he was
| really relative of the illustrious presi-
| dent of United States. It must be so. for
| Pat, among many other admirable and
| praiseworthy traits. is an Irishman and a
| Republican, a combination supposed to be
| impossible. In fact Pat has no little pride
! in this unusual situation. He tells with
great gusto of a time when he lived in
| Ohio, when in his neighborhood were for
| ty-two of his countrymen, all Democrats
but he No threat or entreaty would pre-
vail, and he once told a mob who had
come to his house to whitecap him during
| the Cleveland and Blaine campaign, q
would rather be scourged the length and
breadth of ould Ireland than to vote for
spalpleen, Grover Cleveland" Like many
of his people, he cordially hates Ireland
and the English, and he justly reasons
that Democracy and free trade help and
enhance English interests. But as to his
| high born kindred. Without any cheap
claims of distinction or unseemiy boast
ing, he tells the simple tale which ex-
plains his relationship to the president.
| Three generations, the presidents ances-
tors and Pats were of one kin, and all
devoutly attached to their country and her
independence from English rule. So great
was their zeal, so bitter their hatred, and
active their operations, that the charge
of high treason was finally laid to them.
The grandfather of Pat found it convent
ent to take long journey for his health,
never to return. Three brothers of the
presidents family were placed under ar
rest. One of them was hung, the other
two, James and William affecting their
escape. The president is the great grand
son of the William Mckinley who was
one of the brothers who made their safe
getaway, and whose name he bears. Both
families came from the town of Darvock
in County Antrim, about forty miles from
Belfast. Pat came to this country in 1873,
and for twelve years has lived in Kansas,
a successful farmer and stock grower
He is a character, possessing the native
wit of his race, and good natured to a
degree.
