PASSENGER GETS OFFENDED.
Iowan Thought Brakeman Was Trying ts
Guy Him.


Guy Him.
An amusing story is told of a
man who was the innocent victim of
al order recently issued to its train
men by the Rock Island company.
Frequently passengers have been an
noyed by leaving packages on trains
in the hurry incident to disem bark
ing at destinations. With a view to
curing these oversights the company
about one month ago directed pas
senger train brakemen when calling
out the names of stations to give
warning to passengers not to over
look packages.
One day last week a mau was seen
to hurriedJy emerge from the station
at Grinnell, Iowa, and make for the
train on the dead run as it was NOV
ing off. Once or twice he was seen
To falter for an instant, as though
hesitating whether TO pursue the train
or skurry back to the depot, but his
iudecision was only for a moment.
Seeing the train getting rapidly under
way, he Bonded his energies to a
supreme effort, and by the merest
fraction of an inch, managed to seize
the railing and swing himself upon
the rear platform.
Conductor Andy McLees. of this
city, passing through the train took
up his ticket, which was for Des
Moines, and went back to the smoker.
At Newton the man went into the
smoker as the train was getting under
way. and looking about, caught sight
Of McLees. He strobe hurriedly up
the aisle until opposite the seat where
ANDY was sitting. Coming to an alb
rupt halt, he glued an angry gaze
upon the conductor and exclaimed:
Say. mister, don't you think you'd
better call that niger off?"
ITO whom do you reter?" inquired
Andy.
Why. to that niger brakeman O.
your'n. He's been tryin' to make a
monkey o. me ever since we left Grin
nell and eff you don't call him off
thereIl be dead niger on this train.
You hear me?"
The indignation betrayed by the
man excited the apprehension of Andy,
and seeing be was in dead earnest, he
asked him to explain the nature of his
grievance.
We'll. you see," he replied, in a
slightly modified tone, II overlooked
couple of packages in the depot at
Grinnell in my hurry to catch the
train. We hadn't been out of the
station five minutes until that niger
comes through the coach yelling out:
The next station at which this train
Stops Is Newton. aud lookin' square
At me and kind o. GRIMM he sings
out, AN don't forget your packages.
I thought he was pretty brash on
short acouaintsuce, but when he
sings It out again comm into Kel-
logg. felt Like handin' him one on
the Jaw. but I keeps my temper and
walks over into the next car ahead,
thinking that I'd get away from him.
What's he do Jest now. but come into

We left Badoc (that is B. & l. and
16 pack mules with rations, at o.
clock Saturday morning, Oct 6, for the
mountains. The night was dark, and
we did not reach the mountains till
daylight. We were to take strong
hold Of the insurgents. We marched
all that day until about 3 o'clock.
There was the stronghold ahead Of us,
Il high mountain, and we could see a
sentry walking post. 1t was then too
late to take the hill as all the men
were played out, so Major Kingsbury
said we would wait till tomorrow, in

expected to have hard fight, but not
one lnsurgent was to be seen. They
fell back during the night into anoth-
er stronghold in the second range Of
mountains. We burned their quar-
ters, destroyed everything and were
only out three days. Friday, Oct 18th,

days rations for the second strong
hold. We Travelled steady til. the next
hold. We travelled steady till the next
morning at 10 o'clock. 1t was the
hardest march we ever. had. The
horses held out first rate. Climbing
over those mountains is fierce. We
followed stream till we came to the
hills. and 10 other men were guard
over the pack train. We lost two
mules. The mules certainly have it
hard in this country. When we ar
rived at the second stronghold, she
was like the other one The insurgents
heard us coming, so they went back
to their home. Along the road you
can see the natives working in the rice
fields. Everyone of them are (Goo-
goes0 insurgents can't tell them apart.
The only way to have peace in this
country Is to have an army go through
and kill them off; If not, this will con-
tue for years. While on the hills we
came across tribe Of lgeratte. They
are friendly to the Americans. They
let their hair grow long, both men and
women. and are better looking people
than the Filipinos. When this trouble
first started. one of the Philippine
leaders got these people on their side
by saying the American guns shot
cotton and were harmless. A large
body of them started out to capture
town few miles from Manila; and they
run up against some light artillery
and a rapid firing gun, and only two
lived to tell the tale. After this the
Igerottes had no use Tor the Filipinos.

And Was Forced to Give Details of
His Trick.

At the Elks' fair last fall one of the
star attractions was Prof, James
Smith, advertised as the only man on
the face or the earth who could ex-
ist six days and nights under ground.
He was buried alive in n regulation
casket.
In the hearing of motion for a
new trial in the Ruthven murder case
at Cleveland, Friday, Prof. Smith,
whose every day name Is plain John
Kaehn, was forced to tell something
relative to the manner in which he
accomplished this trick. The Plain
Dealer says:
The examination Of Kaehn proved
to be very amusing. On the cross
examination Prosecutor keeler de-
manded to know the business of the
witness The witness said that he
lived at No 325 Lake St., and was
known as Professor James Sr,ith, and
that his speciality was being buried
alive for exhibition purposes. He de-
six days and six nights. He averred
that he was ready at any time to be
buried for $500 per week, providing
that there was proper and an unmis-
takabiy trustworthy committee to
play the role of resurrection angels
should they be needed to save his
life
He was rather reluctant about tip
ping off his act" as he expressed It,,
but Judge Neff became interested and
wanted to hear all about 1t. kaehn
declared that he has been placed In n
coffin which had been properly uphol-
stored, and that 1t has been lowered
into grave six feet and four inches
deep, An air shaft is constructed and
the grave closed.
| "What is the air shaft for?" asked
I the Prosecutor.
For air." replied Kaehn, "and for
sending down the beer, water, and
grub"
Then you always had to have air,
did you?' continued the Prosecutor.
"Oh, no. Sometimes l was complete
ly buried for twenty-four hours, In
a case Of that kind bucket of water
was placed In the coffin and several
sponges saturated with water. The
water evaporated, and that furnished
all the oxygen | needed to live on"
