her the second section would arrive
there before we left.
1.-THE story that the porter on the sec

had the jolliest kind of a time. With
several others he smoked and played
cards all night Laughed and joked
and between times read the kilograms
and sent answers.

night of card playing and smoking he
looked rather worn and when the wife
met him at Albuquerque she threw her
self in his arms and cried. He looked
over her shoulder and winked at

EAGLE ATTACKS A DOG.
Gets His Claws Tangled in the Dogs
Wool and is Captured.

Wichita, Jan. GA fine specimen of
golden eagle may be seen at the Sum-
init, on North Main street. The golden
eagle is rare in this country. This
specimen is one year old and measures
feet 8 inches from tip to tip.
Mr.. Belrose tells this story of the
capture of this eagle. Last Monday he
obtained the eagle from a farmer liv-
ing south of Kiowa and brought it to
Wichita yesterday. The farmer said:
ION Saturday I noticed the eagle fly
ing low and thought that it intended
to attack my sheep. My dog was with
the flock, and the eagle swooped down
and attacked the dog. There was a fight
and the eagle stuck his talons into the
dog. The dog and eagle mixed upon
the ground, and it was difficult to tell
what was going to be the outcome.
Il took a blanket and went to the
rescue Of the dog. The eagle did not
see me, or else his claws were fastened
to the flesh of my shepherd dog. At any
rate I came up to them, threw the
blanket over them and captured the
eagle. He is a good specimen of golden
eagle, about a year DID,"
The eagle appears to be in good con-
dition, and yesterday ate his dinner of
jack rabbit and investigated his cage,
making frequent efforts to escape. Mr..
Wolfe paid $40 for the beautiful bird.

FROM MANILA
Streets Narrow, Muddy and No Sewer
age System, Writes an lola Soldier.


lola, Jan. 6-The Record has received
the following letter from an lola boy
who sailed to Manila:
We arrived in harbor safe on the
morning of December 1, we are still on
board the Indiana We cannot land I'M
til we can find camping ground.
The rainy season is not over yet and
the city is nothing but mud. There are
some wonderful sights here. so the Of
fcers say who have been ashore. Dew
ey's fleet is about five miles from us.
We can see all his ships plainly. There
are no docks here and we lie in the
bay about three miles from the city.
The health of the regiment is good; we
did not lose a single man on our trip.
1t is not as unhealthy here as you
are led to believe. The death rate here
has been a hundred per cent lower than
in any camp. Those who have been here
some time say they have gained in
weight and have better health. The
troops that are here now are in bar
racks or buildings and are faring first
class.
There are no Americans here except
ing soldiers. No horses or mules here;
they use little ponies and what they
call water buffalo to do their trans
porting. Their carriages are two wheel
ed carts.
Aguinaldo is camped about three
quarters of a mile from the American
camp and their sentries are in sight of
one another. They seem to be getting
ready for business, both armies being
intrenched. There is no sewer system
in the city and no garbage wagons.
The streets are little narrow, muddy
things.

BRIDAL COUPLE SEPARATED.
A Pullman Conductor Relates the
Woes of Bride and Groom.

speaking about newly married
couples on their wedding journey" said
a Pullman conductor who runs from
Chicago to Los Angeles on the Santa
Fe, II can tell some funny stories, but
the best one know of is about the
couple that got separated at Kansas
City" The conductor laughed as he
thought of the affair.
1T was when the California Express
was running out of Kansas City in two
sections. The train from Chicago ran
into Kansas City in one section but
there, extra Pullmans were taken on
and it went out in two sections about
80 minutes apart.
1.-THE honeymoon couple got on at Chi
cago and were in my car They had
regular cooling match all the way to
Kansas City. When we got into the
union depot there, hubby got Off for
minute and while he was gone the first
section with the bride pulled out. Mrs,
whatever her name was, was frantic
when she found hubby was not on the
train. When we reached. Lawrence she
telegraphed back to catch him on the
train and when she got to Topeka she
walked the platform, nearly tearing
her hair. The tears were streaming
down her face and she was the most
helpless looking individual you ever
saw. She was sure poor Henry would
be so lonely without her but the mes
sage said he was on the second section.
:" When do we meet the second sec
tion,' she asked me and when 1 said
tomorrow she fell into seat and the
pOIl6E anu HdQ TO revive n0T. ne Sec
ond section was just 80 minutes behind
us all the way to Albuquerque and she
kept the wires hot telegra phing to her
husband who got the messages on the
train and she received the most touch
ing and heartbroken replies from him
that you ever heard Of 1 thought the
poor man was about to commit suicide
from the tone of his messages.
AT every station she got off and sent
a telegram and received one from him.
During the night she made me wake
her at the stations so she could tele-
graph. At midnight she got the follow
ing telegram: L can't stand it any

FROM BULL RUNS FIELD.
Winfield Man Receives Two Bushels
of Chestnuts From Colored
Friend.
WINFIELD Courier.l

while riding along one day last sum-
mer on the Bull Run battlefield John
Maus ran across an old cOlored man
named Andrew J. Redmond, who owns
and occupies farm near the center of
the hardest fighting in the three days
battle. Mr.. Maus stopped and had
long talk with the old gentleman and
his wife, both of whom proved to be
typical warm hearted southern negroes.
After entertaining Mr.. Maus in a most
hospitable manner they gave him a
number of relics picked up from the
battlefield and wished him Godspeed on
his way.
The woods in that country are cover
ed with chestnut trees and no finer or
sweeter chestnuts grow than those pro-
duced there without care. When he
started away Mr.. Maus asked Mr.. Red
mond if in the fall he would send his adj
dress if the old gentleman would send
him box of chestnuts and the promise
was gladly given. After Mr.. Maus re-
turned home he thought of his old color
ed friends and of the luscious chestnuts
which were ripening in the woods on
the banks of the Potomac and he sent
the old gentleman his card. The an
swer was received yesterday.
The old gentleman sent him a two
bushel box filled with chestnuts and
relics of various kinds which from the
standpoint of a relic hunter are of in
estimable value. They include bullets
of all kinds, canteens, bayonets, bomb
shells, grape, canister, etc.

THE SHORTEST RAILROAD.
The Toluca 6 Eastern Out of Rutland
Ill. is Less Than Six Miles Long.

Probably the shortest railroad in the
world is the Toluca & Eastern running
from Toluca, Ill, to Rutland. distance
of five and one-half miles.
The rolling stock of the road consists
of one engine and one combination
coach and baggage car. One other car,
a dump car, might possibly enter the
list of rolling stock but it's a small af-
fair and is not listed in the tax report
of rolling stock.
The Toluca & Elsewhere, it is
sometimes called, has a record that the
largest railroad in the world might be
proud Of The train dispatchers have
never been known to lap an order and
head end collision has never been
known.
Two reasons. First, when a train
leaves one station for another it is GER
tain to be the only train on the road.
There is no other engine to have a col
lision with and secondly, the train runs
on it's own hook and receives orders
from no one except that when it leaves
one station for the other, the train crew
receives orders to go right along and
not stop by the way.
The passenger rates on the road are
never exorbitant. The fare is 1914 cents
each way or 80 cents for the round trip.
Cut rates are not known. The road con-
meets the Mt. Carmel Coal Co.'s mines
at Toluca with the Illinois Central at
Rutland.

As that is the block which connects with
the Topeka avenue pavement, If a sue
cessful remonstrance could be secured it
would kill the pavement west of Tyler be-
cause there would be no outlet.
But up to this time the efforts of the OPP
ponents of the paving have been unSuc
cessful. Mr.. Benedict says that he has
at least Is of the 26 lots liable, for the
paving tax the petition for the pave
ment, and he has no fears of the result,
because there must be majority of the
property represented on the remonStrance.
There will probably be a fight for every
block, because there are always enough
people opposed to public improvement to
make trouble.
