BREAKING THE SAD NEWS.
Railroad Men on Special Duty to
Notify Bereaved Wives When
Accidents Occur.

employees to inform wives that their
husbands had been killed." said a rail-
road boss, but now regular men do 1t
men who know how to break the sad
news to widows and orphans at home.
l did it myself for 13 years. The COM
pany chose me because l was fatherly
looking, and l stuck to the job as long
as could, but it's wearing work. To
go into home and hear the wife sing
ing about her work and be compelled
to tell her that her Jacks just been
killed down in the freight yard takes
nerve.
"Of course, l had different ways of
breaking the news. Sometimes L
asked what time Jim would be home,
or where he was going that night, any
thing to get started, especially if never
knew the woman. Strange to say when
ever [ came near to the fact, saying I'd
heard that Jim was hurt, the women
would scream out they were sure he
was killed. Then l let them cry awhile,
until they'd get ready to ask further
about it. 1t was not so hard after that
1 often thought that the women saw
so much sorrow in my face from my
long serving in the business that they
knew what came for. 1 tried to look
cheerful, but there was a weight in my
heart that l couldn't throw off.

killed at a bridge that morning. When
she opened the door and looked at me

GEN. JIMINEZ ARRESTED.
Just rs We Was About Sail From Clen-
fugo' Capt. Stamp Al prt hended
Him-Says it l. AN Ont age.

HAVANA, Aug. 19.-in view of the
fact that EOi. Bacallao. chief of the
secret police, persisted in his declara-
ton that Gen. Juan Isidor Jiminez, the
aspirant to the presidency OF SantO
Domingo, was in Havana. either not
having left or having returned the
military authorities telegraphed 20
CienfuegCs irstructing Capi. Stamper,
collector of customs there, 10 ascertain
whether Jiminez was on the Menendez
steamer and to take him under arrest
if that should lie the ease.
just as the steaIrS r was about leav-
ing CienfuegO,, Capt. Stamper located
Jiminez and arrested him. J!minez
denounced the arrest as an outrage.
He said he had broken no law and
would not yield except to force. Capt.
Stamper replied that he was ready to
use force if nee ,ssary and Jiminez then
yielded, remariling that he did so only
because he could not help himself.
Senior Frias, mayor of Cienfuegos, re-
fused to make the arrest, claiming that
Gen. Jiminez was an old personal
friend, whom he had known in Intimately
for years. When Jiminez was taken
| into custody, Senior Frias was found
with police -nspector in close CONVEX
sation with Jiminez and the latter's
secretary; it is believed the mayor was
urging him to leave the steamer, to
conceal himself and to wait for a bet
ter opportunity. Capt. Stamper in
| formed Jiminez that he woul make him
as comfortable as possible. and after
Jiminez and his secretary had packed
their trunks they were driven, accom-
panied by the chief Of police and Capt.
| Stamper, to the Union hotel, where
two bedrooms and diningroom were
placed at their disposal
Gen. Jiminez will be kept under po-
lice charge until further advices are
received from the governor general.
| There is much excitement among the
people of Cienfugos over the affair.
The sentiment is generally expressed
that the authorities had no right tc
arrest Jiminez, an unarmed citizen,
going apparently to Santiago de Cuba,
and the point is even made that if he
were going to San Domingo, he would
only be returning to his native country,
Senior Aybor, a representative CT
Jiminez, left Cienfuegos for Santiago
de Cuba last Tuesday, after remaining
at the former place ten days. 1t is be-
lieved he tried to fit out an expedition
as a small schooner was found lying
outside the harbor, supposed to bt
awaiting a cargo of ammunition
Aybor had taken out clearance papers
for Key West several days before.

"GoING TO BUY A BUGGY"
A Mortgage Gotten Cut of the Way
Typical story of u Nebraska
Farmer's Experience.

A few years ago hard times made
the Western farmer deny himself
everything save the barest necessities
of life. Then came the great crop
year of 1897 and with it a story.
a Nebraska farmer carried a mort
gage OF $4,000 on his property, and it
was Il burden hard TO contend with.
The wheat crop - 81 was enormous
and prices were high. He appeared
at the bank shortly after harvest,
pulled out $4,000 and asked for a loan
of $500 to enable him to cancel the
mortgage note. The banker, who he'd
the note, urged him not TO bother about
it, but go and buy cattle with his
$4,000, feed his corn crop and in that
way get the maximum for his product.
NO, sir" replied the farmer, Il want

You back that 5000 | just borrowed.
and then do you know what I'm going
to do?" and his honest face beamed all
over with pleasure. I'm going TO buy
a buggy!" This little incident tells the
story of thousands of others out in
Nebraska. and the fact that during the
past siN months one concern in Chicago
shipped 20 one firm in Omaha alone one
hundred and thirty carloads OF buggics
and carriages. averaging about p to the
car. makes it very evident that prosper

The dispute grew warm, and the first

So saying, the latter dealt box on
