boat then drifted helplessly down the
stream, swollen by rains and snow.
She has not been heard from since. She
is valued at $4,000 and insured. The
cargo is valued at $4,000
Several men chung to the piers of the
bridge and were saved. The fate OF the
rest of the passengers is unknown. 1t

wrecked.
Among those on board were w. G.

Mr.. Hellum, Evansville, representing
the Evansville grain and tie company;

1T DIES, TOO.
AnLI-Puliman Bill Has Expired
Again
As it Does at Every Session of
Legislature
UNDER THE WEIGHTOF
What Senator King Intimates
May Have Been
The Distribution of Pullman
Passes in Certain Quarters.

The bill to reduce Pullman sleeping
car rates in Kansas is dead.
It's death was expected when it was
introduced, because such bills appear
in every session of the legislature and
are never enacted into law.
The measure was referred to the sem
ate railroad committee but this COM
m1ttee has been unable to get a report
of any kind on the bill. Senator King,
chairman of the railroad committee, ia
Nors the passage of the bill, but ma
jority of the committee headed by Sem
ator Stone has succeeded in keeping the
bill suppressed and Senator King thinks
1t Will not be reported.
Other members of the senate railroad
committee are as follows:
l. L. Lewelling, Wichita.
NJ. A. Householder, Columbus.
H. G. Jumper, Usage.
j. C Stone Jr.. Leavenworth.
Jasen Helmick, Chautauqua.
H P. Farrelly, (Dem.) Chanute.
Chas. F. Johnson, (Rep.) OskalooSa-
r. T. Battey, (Rep.) Florence.
Senator King is quoted as saying
yesterday: PASSES may have had
something to do with the failure to re-
port this BILL
Mr.. Kings committee will have a
meeting tonight and he will make an
other effort to report the bill, but does
not expect to succeed. However, the
fight over the bill may be transferred
to the floor of the senate by a motion
TO instruct the committee to recommend
the bill for passage
