POPULISTS
ARE IN BAD FIX

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 2.-The populist
leaders of Kansas are confronted by a
serious problem. Both branches of the
legislature have passed a railroad bill
which railroad attorneys declare is not
worth the paper it is written on. 1t was
announced today that Gov. Leedy had
signed the bill, but it turns out that
he went to his home at Lawrence without
doing so ard that his failure to approve
it is prompted with a desire to confer
with the steering committee with a view
to changes in the bill and its ~re-enact-
ment under a suspension of the rules.
The constitution gives the governor wv
er to assemble the Legislature in extraor-
binary session when a grave emergency
demands it. THE emergency" set forth
in Gov. Leedy's call was the necessity Of
railroad legislation. Now the legislature
has passed a bill which does not meet
this emergency until the first Monday
in April next and one month after a reg
ulad session of the legislature shall
have adjourned.
The railroads intend to go into the
courts and fight the new law on this
ground and have announced that they
will carry the matter to the supreme
court of the United States. They will
contend that no emergency exists and
h if it did exist the new law should

FAMILY WIPED OUT
BY FATALITIES

Webster City, Iowa, Jan. 2.-The mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of Mrs. Priscilla En-
erson. aged 60, widow of the late Levi EN-
erson, a banker of Stratford, has been
solved by finding her body frozen stiff in
her home. She had been dead, it was
learned, since a few lays before Christmas.
An autopsy will be held today to determine
the cause of her death. Thursday night
before Christmas a nephew from Dayton
took Mrs. Emerson two barrels of apples
as a Christmas gift. He was at the house
last night and said everything about the
place is just as he.left it when he returned
home. Sums of money were known to have
been kept in the house, but how much it
was has not been ascertained. 1t is not
believed that the house has been robbed.
A strange fatality seems to have followed
the fortunes of the EmersonS. Levi Emer-
son is said to have committed suicide. He
died suddenly and no examination was
made of his body. Lloyd Emerson, a son.
doing a banking business at Rising City.
Neb., went to Colorado Springs for his
health. and while taking a bath he burst
a blood vessel and death ensued. May En-
erson, the only daughter, while handling a
razor accidentally cut herself. Blood
poisoning followed and caused her death
nine months ago. The whole family has
been wiped out by fatalities.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 2.-Advices brought

merchants wired to Shanghai desiring that
all shipments of goods into that province
cease. The Yellow river floods have de-
stroyed the crops and famine has resulted.
Thousands of natives are starving. Thous-
ands Of other hungry and ragged refugees
are moving down the river in boats, only to
find the walls of the cities lowered down,
closed against the starving hordes. The
government appropriated 30o,G taels for
their relief. less than one-tifth has been dis
tributed. 1t is claimed officials have stolen
the rest. Rev. b.. Craig Patterson lf the
Chan King mission, appeals to American
friends for aid.
A panic prevails throughout Use Chuen
province caused by the rehoisting of the
black flag of rebellion by the notorious out
law Yumantze. After Offering to refrain
from further depredations and receiving a
compensation from the Chinese authorities.
Yumantze has resumed his followers and
started a fresh anti-Catholic crusade. His
reward included 100. Geo taels in silver, i'm
munity from punishment and d captaincy
in the Chinese army. The French mission
airy, FIeury, remains in Yumantze's hands
and hopes of saving him have been aban-

TRAIN MAKES
GREAT Time
One Of the Best Records Made
in the West
FROM OMAHA TO CHICAGO
The Time Has Been Greatly Reduced
THERE'S a Very Large Mail
Contract in View.
FROM OMAHA TO CHICAGO

Chicago, Jan. 92.-The new fast mail train
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road,
which pulled out Of Omaha at 3:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, rolled into the Union
depot in Chicago at 2:14 this morning, 10
hours and 20 minutes from Omaha. a dis
lance of SOP miles. The train was in charge
of Conductor Frank Columbine and En-
gineer Frank Billiard, who holds the record
for the fast run on the road, was at the
throttle of Engine $50, called 1.-THE grey
hound Of the Burlington" The cars were
mail cars Nos. 94 and 9l5, and storage car
No. 931. The new train is designed to be
one Of the links in the Oriental mail SER
vice. which is to cut down the time of cross
ing the continent Is hours. The mail was
rushed eastward at once. The new fast
schedule of the trans-continental mail
really began at Cheyenne, Wyo., when the
mail was detached from the regular over
land limited and sent ahead. A gain of one
hour and a half was made between Green
river and Council Bluffs. The squirt made
was the fastest railroading ever done in
the west. The train was in charge Of En-
gineer Mathis, and he insisted that the time
could be cut down materially. One of the
brakemen of the new train declared at
times he feared they would leave the track
and go into the ditch. If the Burlington
succeeds in keeping down the schedule it
will be a great factor in it's favor in the
strong competition with the Rock Island
and Northwestern railroads for the great
mail contract. This competition begins on
January 8. The amount involved in the
total contract. from ocean to ocean, is $780,
COO. The schedule instituted last night
beats the former fast mail by one hour
and fifteen minutes. The fastest time was
made just west of Aurora, where 80 miles
an hour was attained. The average speed
for the whole distance, including stops, is
1851 miles an hour. 1t is unquestionably
tine fastest regular train ever put on the
time card west of Chicago. The average
time is said to be even better than that OF
the fast mails OF the eastern roads.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. Mrs. Lucretia
Kent, a widow, met her death in a manner
horrible in the extreme. Her fate was re-
vealed when a friend, entering the house,
found her dead body. One hand was pin
toned inextricably under. a heavy folding
bed. The body was d~ecomposed, showing
that death had occurred several days ago.
When found, the woman'S broken hand
was still clasped in the bed as in a black
smiths vice. How the accident happened
will never be known definitely. The wo-
man lived alone in the house and that &C.
counts for the tardy discovery of the
body.
