Mp. BRIDGE BURNED OUT
ALI Traffic by Way of Logan
Stopped for a Few Days.
WILL GO VIA GARRISON
The Bridge Was Between Pipestone and
Whitehall and Was About 100 Feet
Long and 70 Feet High-Pas-
sengers Transferred.

A large bridge on the Northern Pa
eific between Pipestone and Whitehall
burned out last evening and stopped all
trains on the Logan branch and created
a great deal of trouble for the passen-
ger trains. No. 1, from the East, did not
learn of the burning bridge until it
reached Whitehall, and was then COM
PEELED to switch back and return to
Logan and proceed west on the main
line via Helena. A special was made
up in Butte and sent to Garrison to
meet the train there to bring back the
passengers for this city and Anaconda.
No. 2, from Portland, the through
train for the East, arrived in Butte
nearly on time, at $40 p. M, and was
Immediately turned around and sent
back to Garrison to the main line, by
which it is compelled Ito run over 100
miles extra. On the train were a num-
Der of Elks from San Francisco, Port
land, Seattle and Spokane on their way
to ST Louis to attend convention. A
number of Butte Elks who had heard of
their coming met them at the depot
with a lot of the proper kind of refresh
ments to cheer them on their way.
AS the bridge which was DESTROYED by
nre was 100 feet long and about 10 feet
nigh, it will require three or four DAYS
to rebuild, and in the meantime pas
sengers for the East will be sent to Car
r1son to meet the through train there.

Characteristic Story of Flower.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The following story, characteristic of
Governor Flower, appears in the Phila-
delphia Budget-Monitor:
Mr.. Fowler was on the train COM
ing home from Syracuse one day, when
a sickly-looking man and little girl
occupied the opposite seat The train
had not gone far when he motioned to
the little girl to come and sit with him,
which she did. Soon, in his tactful way,
he had her telling all about herself and
papa. BY skilful questions, Mr.. Flower
cleaned the information that her mann
ma had just died, that her papa was
q mechanic, sick, and they had been
obliged to sell their household furniture
to get money to make a trip to St. Law
renee county relatives, looking for
health and work. In fact, the little g.
year-old and the governor had a real
sociable visit. Just before arriving at
WATERFOWL, Mr.. Flower fumbled around
in his grip and his pockets, getting

breathing, but he died as we took him
out and heaven preserve you from ever
seeing a human creature so manned
and mangled! He was tramp, it
seemed, who had been stealing a ride,
and when the train had passed over d
heavy upcurve the car sagged down far
enough to smash him like an egg shell.
Well, the strange part of the affair of
course, was how our fellow passenger
came to give the alarm, and when we
resumed our places in the smoker he
told us that he had heard the poor dew
lis Shrek You see, he had been
railroad man for years, and his ears
were so attuned to the ordinary crash
and clatter of the train that they had
grown incredibly sensitive to the least
unusual noise. That wall of mortal
agony, which to the rest of us was
wholly inaudible, had for him, pierced
the uproar like the note of bugle,
and he surmised instantly and correct
ly just what had occurred"

HUM EP HELD UP.
The Highwayman Takes His 81 in Cash.
His Diamond Ring and Pin.

The Highwayman Takes His $s1 in Cash,
His Diamond Ring and Pin.
The first hold-up reported to the police
in several months occurred last night
shortly before II o'clock. Hum ED. one
of the proprietors of the Hong Kong
restaurant in West Park street, was held
up by a masked highwayman at the cor
ner of Colorado and Galena streets and
robbed of ST. in cash. a diamond ring
worth about $40 and a scarf pin with
sapphire setting. Ep informed the police
that he was just leaving the Chinese mis-
sion, which is located at the corner of
Colorado and Galena streets, and as he
stepped out of the door he ran into big
gun in the hands of a man who told him
to throw up his hands. He complied and
the fellow went through him in fifty.
In his haste he did not stop to remove
the scarf pin, but tore off the Chinaman's
tie, pin and all. After finishing the job
he disappeared down Colorado street Ep
is of the opinion that the highwayman
must have been some one who knew him
pretty well from the fact that he seemed
to know exactly where to look for his
money, which he carried in the inside
pocket of his vest. The police are in
clined to think the hold-up was another
Chinaman.

Once Stevedore, Now He Is an Inde-
pendent Monarch.
From the New Orleans Times-Delno-
crat.
Daniel O'Keefe, who is king Of a
small island in the Philippine group,
was formerly a resident of Savannah,
Ga" said a visitor from that city last
night, land has wife and daughter
still living there who are in regular tCr-
respondence with him. In his younger
years O'keefe was a stevedore at the
Savannah wharves, but became rest
less, shipped on a Pacific-bound boat
and never returned. After great many
vicissitudes he got into the copra trade
and became rich. Most of his copra
came from an island between North
Borneo and Mindanao, at the tall end
of the Philippines, and about six years
ago he purchased it outright from
Spain and set himself up as an inde-
pendent ruler.
He yields tremendous influence
over the natives and is we'll known all
over the South Pacific He has a house
at Hong Kong where he spends part of
each summer and lives in lordly fash
ion. Meanwhile he has kept in constant
communication with his wife, has stead
lily supported her and now sends her a
handsome annual allowance. His daugh-
ter was porn a lew months after his
departure and has never seen her
father, but a handsome and recent
photograph of him hangs in their par
lor.
For over a dozen years O'Keefe has
been intending to come home, but
would put it off from season to sea-
son, as his business interests multiplied
and his presence at the island became
more and more imperative About four
years ago he made all arrangements for
the trip and day was set for his ar
rival, but he failed to appear. The old
timers in Savannah remember Dan
O'Keefe very well, and he is commonly
spoken of as the king of the Cannibal
islands. His Wife's cozy little home is
crowded with curious from the far Pa
cific'

Electric Fish in the Nile,

From the Boston Transcript.
An interesting fish that inhabits the
waters of the lie is the malapteruruts
electricus, which is considered about
the best species of electrical fish, for,
unlike the gymnotus and torpedo, its
electrical organs do not affect its mo-
ton. In paper recently presented to
the Royal institution in London, the
theory is advanced by Professor Gotch
that the seat of the electro motive
force IS the nerve center itself, and not
the collection of plates which have
hitherto been considered the electric
organ of the fish. These plates number
about 100000, and consist of a modi-
ned muscular substance separated bv
an a1buminous composition, while each
is connected by a single nerve fiber TO
the nerVe-center. A measurement of
the electro-motive force of the cells by
a capillary electrometer revealed the
fact that the electro-motive force was
or the same order as that produced by
the contraction of a muscle, and
amounted to about .04 or .05 volt, BE-
tween the excitation of the nerve and
the maximum electro motive force there
is a tme-lag of about 1-1000 of sec
end, and an oscillatory electro-motive
force is generated by a single moment
tary excitation of the nerve At the
lecture before the Royal institution al
ready referred to, the electric current
from two of these live electric fishes
was shown with a telephone, and also
shocks given to many of the audience
Some of these fishes were procured by
the Senff expedition of Columbia uni
yersity while at the Nile last summer,
and are exhibited in the museum of the
department of zoology of that insti-
tuition,

As the train stopped he handed the

that il contained a little present for her

of a Man MangIed on the Trucks.
gray-haired travelling man, who
has seen a deal of life, puffed his cigar
into coal in the Grunewald lobby last
night and spun a weird yarn through
the smoke. One summer evening,
years ago" he said, I CHANGED to be
a passenger on the through train be-
tween Cincinnati and Toledo. The air
was frghtfully close and suftry, and a
little party of us, who had sought
refuge in the smoking compartment,
threw the rear door wide open. 1t WAS
before the days of vestibules, and the
night wind came rushing in, so bur-
dened with the roar of wheels that we
could scarcely hear each other speak.
However, we sat there in our shirt
sleeves, burning tobacco and convers-
ing IN yells, and We're getting along
fairly we'll when all of sudden a big
fellow in the crowd turned pale as
pale as death and leaping to his feet
he grabbed the bellcord and gave it
three violent jerks. The lightninglike
swiftness of the act and the horror

transfixed the rest of US with amaze

gan to feel the cars humping together
under the steady tug of the airbraks.

REPUBLICANS AND TRUSTS.

Jerry Simpson was in Topeka the other day,
and, among other interesting things, he said to
a State Journal reporter:
"The Republican press OF Kansas is making
a fight against trusts, but before the next ma
tional campaign is concluded, think they will
be switched off in this manner of doing things.
The Republican party is managed from Wash
ington by Hanna, Elkins and Plat. They are
all interested in trusts, and they will permit
nothing to occur which will interfere with the
profits of the business in which they are en-
gagged.
"In the Fifty-fourth congress, Doekery, OF
Missouri, presented an amendment to the Ding
ley bill providing that when combination or
trust was formed to raise the price OF product
the president might remove the duty on similar
products coming from other countries. Every
Republican in congress voted against this reso-
luton. When the Republicans begin talking
about antitrust legislation, like to remind
them that trusts are the result of Republican
legislation. The Republican press will preach
antitrust doctrine now, but, like they did on
the money question: will fall into line to continue
fostering the trusts next year."
