Mangled-News of Interest.

At the railroad crossing, just east
of the village of Pilger, in Stanton
county, Ed Ustic was struck and killed
by a special freight. He had been in
Pilger and was returning home. He
was seen by a number going toward
the railroad in a wagon, his team GO
ing at a smart jog. Ustic had his head
bowed upon his breast, apparently
giving no attention to his team or the
surroundings.
His team slowed to a walk as they
approached the track and just got over
it as the train struck the wagon back
of the fore wheels Ustick was thrown
under the engine and dragged for the
distance of owe a hundred feet. His
death was probably instantaneous.
His intestines, stomach, heart, lungs
and liver were torn out of the body
and lay some thirty feet from it. The
rig ii arm was cut off and there was
hardly a whole bone in the body.
The u%ndisputed evidence showed that
the trainmen made every effort to
avoid the collision as soon as they dis

OF the accident the train YVES running
at a greater rate of speed than permit

of Pilger, within whose limits the ac-
cident happened. A broken jug, which
had contained whisky, was found near
the corpse.
The coroner's jury returned a YER.

came to his death by having been
struck by an engine attached to the
special freight, but neither exonerated
nor condemned the railway employer.
The deceased was a farmer about
fifty years of age. He was married
and has a son some twenty years of
age. He had separated from his wife
and family and for q number of years
had lived alone on a farm which he
had rented east of Pilger in Cunning
county.

NOTES ANSWERED
POWERS APPRISED or UNCLE
SANS POLICY.
GRADUAL WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS
Military Duties In China Regarded a.
Do~ne-Germany Politely Informed
That This Government Refuses
TO Join in Punishment.

The state department has made pub.
Tic the text notes addressed to the gov
ernments of Germany, Russia and
China III answer to inquiries from them
as to the attitude Of the United States
toward various phases of the Chinese
problem. The forecasts of these notes
made in the press appear to have been
accurate, for, although nowhere in the
text is reference made to the with.
drawal of the United States troops
from China, the official statement is
sued by the navy department in adj
vance OF publication of notes bears out
the prediction that the government
finally has decided upon such a ma.
terlal reduction of its military force
as will amount to a withdrawal of the
army as an offenside instrument. This
statement from the navy department,
moreover, is full of significance of a
purpose on the part of the govern
ment to see to it that if there is any
subsequent attempt at territorial ag.
gression on the part OF any OF the
powers; who already have declared
themselves as willing to abide by the
expressed determination of the United
States to refrain from Selling upon
Chinese territory, then the United
States is to lose no right or privilege
which it now enjoys by such action.
Notes Themselves Brief.
The notes themselves are brief. con.
sidering the Importance of the topics
treated. The Russian and Chinese an
swers, begin IN the form of diplomatic
memoranda, are short to a degree rare
ly seen in diplomatic exchange. But
in both cases, being completely D
sive and favorable to the inquirer,
they will escape criticism on that
score.
The answer to the German note is
carefully prepared, so as to soften the
unqualified refusal of the United
States government to make the pun
ishment of Chinese ring-leaders a
condition precedent to negotiations.
Also it is noted that in the express
sion of a purpose to insist upon the
ultimate and proper %punishment of
these offenders, the state department
goes far beyond the German declara-
ton on the subject. The
ment that the department intends i'm
mediately to begin, through Mr.. Con-
ger, conferences with Ching and Ii
Hung Chang, although distinctly mark
Ing the fact that these are only pre-
liminary to final negotiations, will
have the effect to force the powers to
an immediate determination Of their
policies in this matter.

s'CHAFFEE."
The date OF this c%ablegram, Pekin,
september 10, shows that close com.
municotion has been established with
the Chinese capital.
The successful expedition that GEN
eral Chaffee refers to is probably the
one he mentioned in his dispatch of
September 16, received yesterday, in
which he said General Wilson was 60
ing to the westward of Pekin to clear
the country of boxers and open up the
coal fields. His reference to Rockhill
is not clear to officials here. One sug-
gestion is that Rockhill may be the
name OF the British officer who COM
manded the British portion of the ex-
petition, according to cable dispatches
published this morning. Another is
that the cablegram may have been
mangled, General Chaffee intending to
report the arrival at Pekin of Special
Commissioner Rockhill.

The Brazos river is still rising at
Waco, Tex, and an overflow now seems
certain. The river lacked but a few
inches Of leaving its banks at 2 o'clock
p. m. Thursday. Advices from lower
Brazos are to the effect that backwater
has flooded the lower lands, but has
not broken over the banks. The Trim
ity is rising at TT. Worth and Dallas.
A special from the former place says
the bottoms are flooded to a depth Of
three to four feet and the situation has
