William MessmOre, CarterviIle, Mo.

While Gilbert was engaged in the

ploded and the concussion blew up a
box of dynamite which stood nearby.
The big concentrating plant was de-
molished and the five men at work
there were blown to bits. Portions of
their bodies were found hundreds of
feet from where they had been work
ing. The shock of the explosion was
felt at Oronogo. three miles away. The

NEW SANTA FE COACHES.
The Chair Cars Being Built at the To-
peka Shops, Models of Beauty

The five new chair cars which are be-
ing built at the Santa Fe shops, are
nearing completion. When these cars
are finished. they will be beauties and
will compare favorably with those of
the Pullman company. Two of these
cars are now in the trimming and paint
shop and will be completed in two or
three weeks, while the other three cars
are in various stages of completion but
will be ready for the trimmers as soon
as the first two are finished and out Of
the way.
The finishing of these cars is occu-
pying much time and is being done
with care and artistic effect. Four of
them will be finished in quarter sawed
oak. and one in birch, while all of them
will be trimmed in old gold plush. In
the lighting, electric lights will be used
entirely and the seats will be arranged
two on either side of the main aisle.
Toilet rooms at each end of the cars,
and a smoking apartment, complete
the makeup OF five of the neatest cars
that ever rode on six wheeled trucks.

COL. TAYLOR's FLOP.
A Prominent Emporia Republican
Becomes a Democrat.

The action of Colonel David Taylor of
Emporia, in leaving the Republican
party to become a Democrat has set
the political tongues to wagging. The
Emporia Republican gives the follow
ing account of his flop"
Col. David Taylor of Emporia, an
old Republican, has severed his cOnnec-
tiOn with the Republican party and
Joined the new Democracy. He was
chosen chairman of the Democratic
county convention Saturday and made
a rOusing speech defining his position.
He claimed that he had not left the
Republican party, but that the party
had left him-that the Republican par
ty no longer represented the masses.
but the classes-that it was no longer
the party Of the poor and lowly, but the
party of the proud and haughty-that
it was for trusts and corporations, and
against the people.
He stated that he was from Ohio
that he was we'll acquainted with Nc
kinley, had served on the Republican
state central committee with him, that
Mckinley was slow and undecided, that
he had got credit for much that was
due to others, but that mainly on the
financial policy of the country he diff
fered with him, and in the future be-
HeVing that the new national democ-
racys standing on the Chicago platform

party represented the people in their
highest and nObleSt aspirations The
cOlonels speech abOunded III bursts of
elOquence which drew forth the heart
lest applause.
Col. Taylor. some years ago, was
mentioned over the state as a promi-
nent candidate before the Republican
state convention for governor. His
course in leaving the Republican party
will have its influence in the coming
election. When such men as Col. Tay-
Tor leave the party it looks as if the
dry rot disintegration had set in and
that he could stand the stencil of its
purifying remains no longer. The colo
neIs olfactories, we confess. are a lit
tie more sensitive than ours, but it is
as much as we can do to follow the
hearse to its political grave.
1t is all the more sad to think that
its death was caused by an overdose
administered by the hands of its sup
posed friends. We will linger about the
grave solitary and alone, hoping for
an ultimate resurrection, when this
corruption shall put on interruption
and the publication by fire shall have
done its work"

MR.. HELLER'S PLAY.
Topeka Author Outlines the Plot of
aZebedee."

Abdingdon. Ill, Aug. 25.-Robley Eugene
Heller, whose religious drama, 'Zebedee, -
has been accepted by the F'rohmans, is a
retired lawyer. He has spent the greater
part of the last two years in gathering
material for and writing dramas Thesuc-

Trent he has received in his literary
work.

His character. The play has no love story

CUT RATES FOR soLDIRRs.A
Roads From the West Coast Have
Entered Into a Deal With Scalpers.

Roads From the West Coast Have
Entered Into Deal With Scalpers-
Chicago, Aug. 25.-Passenger officials
of the western roads today received
notification from the Southern Pacific
to the effect that that line had found
it impossible to carry out the plan for
an equitable distribution of the east
bound soldier traffic from San Fran
cisco. In its notification the Southern
Pacific exploded a bomb by saying
that several of the lines which had en-
tered into the agreement to have the
business satisfactorily and fairly dis
tributed were operating with scalpers
in San Francisco, Omaha and Kansas
City, and giving the Philippine cam
pafgners opportunity to secure rates
considerably less than originally agreed
upon by all the lines. The agreement
now is regarded as a dead letter and
many and serious complications are ex-
pected to arise as a result of the viola
tion of it.
The lines drew up a government
sanctioned agreement which fixed a
soldiers rate of $3.50 from the Golden
Gate to Omaha or Kansas City. 1t
was agreed that the regular rate from
the Missouri river points to this city
should be maintained. Soon after the
soldiers began to return from the Phil
ippines, it is said the offending lines
began to collaborate with the brokers
in San Francisco and the Missouri river
points. Arrangements were made
whereby the rate from Omaha was cut
fully One-third.

THE DEWEY CUP.
As Tall as the Admiral Himself and OF
Exhibition at Caldweils.

j. E. Caldwell! & Co. are now
exhibiting for short time, in the
window Of their establishment, 902
Cheshut street, the massive cup
presented to the victorious Ad.
mlral, made by the Gorbam Manu-
featuring Company, of New York,
and paid for by 10000 dime sub
scriptions, received by the New
York Journal.
The tremendous silver trophy is
so far as known the largest loving
cup ever made. The cup, exclu.
sive Of the base on which it rests,
is of the same height as the Ad.
miral himself, five feet seven and
one halflnches. The base meas
ures two feet four inches, so that
the height complete is practically
eight feet, while the capacity is
twelve gallons, or nearly half a
barrel.
Its general effect is symbolical
of fame and of the sea. Its pan
els show in relief etchings the
three principal events in the life OF
the formost American of his time
his birthplace at Montpelier, VI.
the battle of Manila Bay, and the
reception to the conqueror at
Grants tomb, on River side Drive,
NewYork. OF a height unparal-
led in a silver cup, it is graceful,
Symmetrical and beautifully pro
portioned.
The cup is ovoid, or urn shape,
with three handles, and rests on a
pedestal triangular in form, with
base ending in three dolphin heads,
The pedestal, an after thought,
made possible by the receipt OF
dimes not expected, is capstan
shape, making fitting termina,
tion to the whole design. Through.
out cup the sentimental interest
attaching to the dime contribute
ons is brought forward by the use
of overlapping dimes in the broder
of the removable cover, at the
bottom of the cup itself, and foi
the scales of the dolphin on the
base.
The cup was design ed by W. G.
Goldman, head of the designing de
b
partment of the Gorham company
