Such Was the Fate brakeman CoIlspy
Suffered.

Suffered.
Rich Hill Review 10Th.
Another one OF those awful rail-
road accidents, which is continually
looked for and forever hoped will
not occur, fell to the lot Of a poor
brakeman on Conductor McKiddy's
freight train on the Missouri Pacific
road last night
Mr.. McKiddy and his crew passed
through Rich Hill about dark, bound
north. When the train reached
Pleasant Hill tie rear brakeman, a
young man named Collopy, was
missing It was surmised that he
had met with some accident and the
train was held for an hour or more
wait rg for the brakeman to show
up But when at the expiration Of
this time he failed TO put in an ap-
pearance, the engine was uncoupled
from the train and the trainmen
started back 10 search for the miss
ing man. As they reached q point
near the flag station of Owe, they
were horrifed to fad their late
companion completely chopped up
into small bits. The legs, arms,
feet and hands were scattered broad
cast, the brains were spilled on lhe
ties and the head, the largest piece
OF the body that could be found, had
rolled to one side 1t was a CHASTITY
spectacle and the hardy trainmen
could nicely withstand the sight.
The quivering flesh and splintered
and broken bones were picked up
piece by piece aud placed in box
How the poor man lost his life
will neve, be known, but it is sup
posed that he slipped and fell be
tween the cars to the rails below,
and was either killed outright or
so badly Injured that be could not
drag himself from the track, and |
was ground TO pieces by four other |
freight trains which had passed
down the road in quick succession

GERMAN CONSUL WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR TROUBLE.

RESPONSIBLE FOR TROUBLE.
Auckland, Jan. 19-Further par
tlculars regarding the disturbance g
at Samoa show that Matasfa's fol
lowers numbered about 5000 men,
and that the adherents OF Malietoa
Tatus were only about 1000 in mum
Der. There was two hours fighting
between the rival forces, during
which several Of the warriors were
decapitated.
The American consul issued a
proclamation claiming that the Der.
lin treaty had the same force as a
law of congress, and that an insult
to the supreme court of Samoa is,
therefore, equivalent to an insult to
government at Washington.
London, Jan. ia speeial from
Auckland, New Zealand, says that
the British and American consuls
were compelled to force the doors
of the supreme court at Apia, Samoa,
in which the German consul had es
tablished himself, and to push him
into the streets.
All parties at Apia, the special
dispatch continues, unite in con
demniDg the German consul for the
fighting which has taken place be
tween the rival kings. It is pointed
out that in violation OF all agree
ments, the consul accompanied
Mataafa's forces when the claimant
invaded the town aud encouraged
the opposition to Msliotoa Tanus
When the British and American
consuls were informed as to the sit
ustion they adjourned to the court
and locked the building. The Ger
man consul then demanded the keys
aud they were refused him He
then broke open the doors, removed
the locks and had them replaced
with others. He afterwards brought
the German municipal president into
the chamber and the latter went up
on the balcony and shouted to the
British and American marines as
8 embed on the square:
Il am the supreme courl. l am
the chief justics'
The crowd replied with jeers, and
the British consul demanded the
keys of the building, which were re-
fused
A Scotchman named Mackie there
upon climbed on top of the building
and hoisted the Samoan flag, while
the British and American consuls
and a number of marines invaded |
the building, forced the doors open
aud pushed the German consul into |
the street.
Then the two consuls formally and
legally, according to the special dis
patch, opened the court and issued
a warning against any further inter
ference with its Jurisdiction, threat
aning to arrest aud imprison anyone
attempting to do SO
Matters, the dispatch concludes,
are now quiet, and the German con
sui remains in his consulate

are soma extracts from his speech:

King, wanted the vineyard of Ma

the owner thereof refused to part

false charges were preferred against
Nabosb to furnish an excuse fer

Wars of conquest have their orr
gin in covetouPness and the history
of the human race has been written
in characters of blood, because rulers
have looked with longing eyes upon
the lands of others.
"Covetousness Is prone to seek
the aid of false pretense to carry cut

AN AVOWAL or PURPOSE.
Senator Bacon Urges His Res
oIuti0n.
FILlPlNOS SHOULD BE FREE.

con Of Georgia addressed the senate
to-day in support Of his anti-expan
sion joint resolution, introduced G
week ago. His speech was lengthy
one and we'll prepared He said, il
part:
1T is incredible that the liberty
loving people of these United States
will consent that by power of arms
the dominion of the government
shall be inforced upon a people who
have owed US no allegiance, who are
struggling to be free,
There is not civil official of the
government who will admit that he
fayors such au act. There is not a
public man in the country who will
admit that he favors the enslave
ment of people. There is not a
senator who would not repel the
charge if made against him. And
yet there are many who are advo-
eating a course, the inevitable conse
guences of which, if successfully
pursued, is to accomplish the en-
slavement of the people OF the Phil
ippine Islands"
Referring to the statement made
by Senator Foraker last week that
Presiden. McKinley.had no idea of
permanently holding the Philip
pines, MIR Bacon said:
II am glad to know that such is
the position and the view of the sen.
ator from Ohio and Of those who
stand with him on this question. ]
am especially glad to have the as
surance that of his own kno Wedge
his position is the position of the
president. My resolutions agree
substantially with the position thus
announced. What I desire, how
ever, is that there shall be now an
svowal of this position by the law
making powers Of this government
in joint resolution of congress, APP
proved by the president
SHOULD DECLARE OURSELVES
II it is not our purpose to subject
the Philippine Islands to our do
minion, but on the contrary, it is
our purpose az the proper time to
recognize an independent govern
,nent in these islands, then such
purpose ought to be avowed at once
IN the most solemn manner.
What wish TO accemp lish by
these resolutions Is that the United
States shall make substantially the
same declaration relative to the
Philippine Islands that they have |
made relative to Cuba.
1t is not to be hoped that the
Filipinos, who were fighting for |
their freedom before we declared |
war against Spain, will surrender
their country to the United States |
without struggle. 1t would be a
fearful shock for us to realize that a
war undertaken fer the liberation of /
Cuba has been converted into one to |
subjugste the Philippines.
In beariog arms against Spain,
the Filipinos were either engaged in
rightful instruction or were bandits
Ii bandits we have no right to act
in allegiance with them. If right
fully revolving, we are bound, hav
ing accepted their allegiance, to
acknowledge their right to freedom.
II annexed, this territory must
either be in the end admitted as
states and the citizens be entitled
to equal rights with the citizens of |
other states, or the territory must
be held as colonies 1t is impossi-
bio that our people should ever con
sent that these Asiatic communities
should be clothed with the power to
assist in making law for Americans

Tucked in an iron band around a tele-
phone post on Main street, in front of the
Petritz building are the silky, long chest
nut hairs that once were one side of a
mustache. They were taken off by bar
Der. but not through the instrumentality
of a razor; they were yanked out by main
strength and the BARRIERS fingers, and
the owner of them les in the city Jail
nursing sore face.
On the upper lip of Frank Kern the hair
once grew and was trained in the way it
should go. The mustache was the envy
Of the silica quarry and the pride and
joy of it's possessor.
Thursday night Kern, who swears he
formerly worked for Superintendent

saloons on cellar-made whiskey or sheep
dip, or some such chemical compound,
that has tendency to

Anxious to whoop things up"
He whooped them up.
Up and down the snowy pavement of
Main street he did cake walk in his own
peculiar Stone-quarry style, whooping as
he went after the manner of a Blackfoot
Indian off the reserva ton with his hide
bullying out with alcohol ana painkiller.

Kern went up town and sought to APP

feeling he had. He took an overdose of
the remedy and presently he was in the
same condition as he was before. He Wis
tied a Main street saloon in his rambles,
let out one whoop and then the barkeeper
fell upon him. Kern landed in the street.
He gathered himself up. concluded his
face needed to be laundered and his chin
shaved, so fell into a barber shop. There
he was coolly received The desire to yell
came upon him again and he gratitied it.
He howled long and Justify.
A husky barber attempted the bouncer
act but Kern resisted being bounced. He
clinched with the barber, they rolled out
to the sidewalk and in an attempt to
break away the barber grabbed Kern S

the barber pulled and the mustache came

the barber landed an upper cut and Kern
