Abilene's Train. Going Habit.

"Abilene must be desperately afraid
Of the smallpox, says the Lawrence
World in reminiscent way.
"An order has been issued forbid.
ding people congregating at the depot
Only those who have been at Abilene
have any idea what drastic measure
that is. In Abilene every man goes
to the depot when train comes in.
No matter what a man Is doing he
will drop 1t and run when the train
whistles. The story is told that once
upon time traveller alighted and
asked bystander how many popula-
ton the town had. Don't know
exactly was the reply, but you
can count 'em. We are all here
Another time an Englishman was
travelling through Kansas and alighted
at Abilene and pronounced the same
question to an auctioneer there.
We'll, cant say exactly was the
reply, we had 1886 yesterday, but
we had hanging last night and !
have not heard how many they got.
The Englishman went back in the
car as quickly as possible and when
his impressions came ont Kansas
was disposed Of as follows; Kansas
is inhabited by a very lawless popu-
lation. 1t is no uncommon thing for
mobs to hang scores Of men through
the night. So far has this been car
ried that an extensive tour OF the
State reveals the horrible state Of
affairs that the inhabitants do not
know from one day to another how
many have been spared.'"

Concerning a Vision.

REFLECTOR comes back at us In this
fashion: "a junction City woman
has had two visions Of an earthquake
coming to destroy that town II it does
not repent. Now is Ia good time to
hold revival services in Junction. :"
The antidote suggested has been ap-
piled. The Salvation army, with a
big brass band, and several Of our
churches have been holding revival
services for several weeks. 1t is now
believed the danger is averted until
some other crank has q vision.

ANNEKE JAMS NO GOOD.
Dickinson County Heirs May as Well
Give Up Hoping.

The Kansas City Anneke Jams heirs
have given up their chase for money
on Anneke's account and the Dickin-
son claimants may as well cease con-
tributing to the pursuit Of that an.
cient ghost.
Perhaps three-fourths OF the citizens
OF America can trace claim Of hered.
ity back to fortune in the old coun-
try, but the case Of the Anneke JAMS
heirs is more than ordinarily inter-
esting for two reasons: first the
enormous value OF the estate, situated
on Manhattan island and valued at
$3.50, 900, 900 and second the fact that
these heirs really expect that some
time they will be able to get posses
sion Of the property in question.
There are about 5000 people who
have the records tracing their ances-
try back ten generations to the little
Dutch maiden who has at least left
her name as heritage to her dc.
scendants. These 5000 people are
divided into three associations---the
Topeka society being branch Of the
Omaha association.
Anneke JAMS Webber was the
daughter Of the fourth king OF Hel-
land, Before her birth she was
pledged in marriage to Roeleison JAMS
and at the age Of eighteen her mar.
riagc was celebrated.
In her girlhood she lived the life
common to the daughters Of the royal
Dutch families. After her eighteenth
birthday her individuality began to
develop, and at the death Of her hus-
band she married the Rev. Bogardus.
Her death came in 1863
Her will is dated January 20, 1868,
signed in the presence Of Direk Van
Schelluyne, Dutch notary Of the
seventeenth century, and witnessed
by five competent witnesses. With
out doubt the title to the city Of New
York which she had inherited from
her roy al father and which she trans
mitted to her children was good in
Holland at the time but whether or
not the United States will recognize
the validity Of the title is another
question.

COOKE WILL STAY IN.
Herington Man Can Hold His Nice
Comfortable Berth,

HERINGTON, Jan. 20.-A letter has
been received from a Kansas con-
gresham stating that Colonel Sidney
G. Cooke would be reelected as a
member Of the board Of managers Of
the National Soldiers home for an.
other term Of six years. The letter
says that Congressman Hull Of Iowa,
chairman Of the house committee on
military affairs, favors the reelection
Of Colonel Cooke, and that Congress.
man Steele Of Indiana, OF the same
committee and also member of the
board OF National Soldiers home
managers, is strongly for Colonel
Cooke for another term. The COM
mittee on military affairs reports
nominations for the board OF National
Soldiers home managers to the full
house Of representatives and an elec-
tion in compliance with the recom-
mendaton of the committee generally
follows.
Colonel Cooke is a gold Democrat
and he has filled the position with
satisfaction to the veterans OF the
Soldiers home and all concerned.
The board Of managers is supposed to
be non-partlsan. In the past it has
been the custom to have seven Of the
thirteen members Of one party and
six Of the other, the party having a
majority in congress when an election
takes place To have the seventh mem
Der. The board stands at present
seven Republicans and six Democrats
and should Colonel Cooke be dis
placed another Democrat would be
chosen in his stead. As Democrat
he is entirely satisfactory to the Re-
pubicans in the Kansas delegation in
Washington.

RARE FILIPINO RELICS.


The big window Of A. b. Rose 4
Co. on Cedar street were crowded all
day with interested spectators look
ing at the magnificent collection Of
Filipino relics there shown. The
articles brought back by Lieut..
Frank J. Frank and is probably the
best and most complete in the coun-
try. There are besides Filipino
articles embroidered work from the
East Indies as well as relics from
China and Japan. 1t is very valu.
able one and worth seeing. 1t will

LACERATRD HIS LEG.
Milton Brenizsr, Jr., Suffers q Painful
Injury.


Saturday afternoon a traction en-
gine run by Milt Brenizer, Of Buck
eye township, crushed through
bridge near Manchester and fell to
the creek below, nearly killing the
engineer. Mr., Brenizer has been
running the Ziegler threshing engine
for sometime, and as they were NOV
ing from one place to another they
came to a bridge near John Watts
place. When the engine was in the
middle Of the bridge, it gave way.
The fireman jumped but Mr.. B. who
was at the throttle knew the engine
should be stopped and shut off steam
and then jumped, but was caught
by the leg between the galvanized
water tank and big traction wheel,
which continued to revolve for a few
minutes. The leg was considerably
torn and bruised. He lay there for
nearly an hour until help was pro-
cured and the tank cut to pieces. He
was taken to Manchester and given
medical treatment and unless com.
plications set in will recover. 1t was
a close call.
The flesh on the front of his thigh
was badly crushed and cut, but no
bones were broken.
The culvert was a l2-foot span six
or eight feet above the bottom Of the
ravine. Mr.. Ziegler had "planked"
it according to law and had crossed
the previous evening and supposed it
safe. On examination the bridge
proved to be Of faulty construction as
it had only five stringers, 2x6 inches,
and these with two oak planks, Sx4
inches, were all broken under the
engine. At the present writing the
engine remains in the ditch. The
culvert belongs to Willowdale and
the township may lose on account Of
the accident. The men on tho en-.
gine are to be congratulated on their
escape alive.

NEW HALL IS READY.
Masons Have Completed a Model
Lodge Room,

The new Masonic hall at the corner
of Cedar and Second over Rose and
Suffers is now completed and the
appointments are among the finest in
the State. There are large ante
rooms, kitchen, property rooms ETC.
while the lodge hall is thing Of
beauty. 1t is in pure Egyptian with
pilasters in black and walls in red and
blue. The walls are ornamented
with lotus flowers and Egyptian EN-.
blems while sphinx will be on each
side Of the masters chair. Stained
glass designs show the lodge emblems.

Flemish while the pictures are chiefly
Copley prints with Flemish frames.
Adjacent to the lodge room and con.
nected with it by large doors is q
beautiful parlor with CRATE, mantel,
consol and rich furniture. The
whole IS lighted with electric lights
and excites the admiration OF every
visitor The decorative work and in
terror finishing Of walls and wood.
work were in charge Of S. Rhoads who
deserves much credit for the artistic
taste shown throughout. He was as
sisted BY +. A, Smith. The Masonic
bodies have reason to be proud Of
their new home.
The first meetings in the new hall
will be next week. When all is in
readiness reception will be given

AN UNLUCKY ENGINE.
No. 287 Has Broken Her Rods
Twice.

Engine 2S7, on which Engineer
Lynch was killed near Graintield
Thursday night, has an unlucky rec
ord. This is the second time she has
broken her rods. The first accident
occurred about year ago in the
western part of the State. At that
time no one was killed, because, as
railroad men say, the rods "broke
back" This time they broke while
making a forward movement. 1t is
thought that Engineer Lynch heard
the noise caused by the breaking,
looked out the window to see what
was wrong, and was struck by one Of
the rods.
