FACED DEATH AND DUTY.
Section Hand Tagged Train Until It
Hit Him.

That Mike McLane, a section hand, is
alive today is considered remarkable af-
ter one hears the story-the story of an
accident; of a man who did his duty,
even though death stared him in the
face A st. Louis travelling man tells
the story:
1T was on the fast mail train on the
Santa Fe. It was just before dusk one
recent Saturday afternoon, and we were
hitting pretty fast clip When we had
gotten within about 80 miles of Kansas
City a man was sighted on the track
about 800 yards ahead. He was on the
wrong side and the engineer didn't see
him The train got nearer and nearer
and the man waved the red flag in a
frantic manner. The fireman espied him
and yelled to the engineer to stop the
train The man with his flag stood still
in the center of the track The locOmo-
tive was reversed, but it was impossible
to make the stop without traversing 40
yards at least Everyone expected the
man to get off the track, but he didn't
He stayed there until the engine struck
MIN and he was thrown in the air about
so feet. The conductor alighted from
the train and picked the poor fellow W.
He wasn't dead; he didn't seem serious
" injured, even.
8 What's the matter?' was the con-
ductor'S first question.
The Irishman assumed a sitting Dos
ture, rubbed his bruises and made ex-
plantations. He told the trainrnen that
there was gang of 100 italians working
on the track a mile below The section
boss. so he said, had sent him on ahead
to give the fast mail a signal to go slow.
and that's what he was doing
But why in the name Of heaven
didn't you get off the track?' asked one
of the trainmen.
$ He told me to stay on the track and
stop the train replied the Irishnan. I
had to do my duty
The Irishman was put on the fast
mail and taken to the next station.
where he was given medical assistance
one or ms arms was fractured, and he
was badly bruised. The engineer ara
fireman thought the man would be in
stantly killed. and his escape after
standing boldly in front of the fast mail
ana peing thrown so feet in the air by
the force OF the collision is considare1
miraculous by them and everyone else
who saw it, 49,

THE FUTURITY OF 1903.
Will Offer Rich Prize of SIS, 900 For
sheepshead Bay Events

New York. Dec. 1O.-The richest turf
prize ever offered in this country will
probably be the Futurity Of 1903. to be
run at the autumn meeting at Sleeps
head bay. The Coney Island Jockey
club has announced that the estimated
value OF the race was $75, 900. Ever since
the first running Of the Futurity, in
1883, it has been the most valuable race
in a pecuniary sense on the American
turf. and it has always attracted wide
spread interest, not only on account Of
it's money valuation. but owing to bring
ing together some Of the best fieetfOOted
thoroughbreds in this country. 1t is for
two-year- olds, and the distance OF the
race has always been 10 feet less than
six furlongs. The winner Of the first
running of the race was Proctor Knott,
and the value of the struggle for the
honors that year was SAC. 800. In 1889, the
following year. the value Of the race
was s54, $50, and the winner was Chaos.
The race was won a year later by Po-
tomac, and the cash valuation of the
contest was s676T5. The winner of the
race in subsequent years and the value
of the race each year were as follows:
1891. His Highness, value $6l-6155 1882,
NIorello value $40, 500; 1893, Domino,
value s49. $50: 1894. The Butterflies. value

EMMA GOLDMAN ANGRY.
Anarchist Leader Claims Paris Police
Suppressed the Propaganda

New York. Dec. 10.-The Times says:
Emma Goldman, who has been confer
ring with anarchist groups in England
and France, has returned to this coun-
try. She made a hurried tour of the
various anarchist headquarters in this
city last night
She says that the anarchists from va
rious countries had arranged TO hold
an international anarchist congress in
Paris. but just as it was about to con-
vene the police officials swooped down,
broke up the meeting and drove the
leaders out of the city
It was an outrage, she declared, and
showed that even the socialist govern
ment was under the domination Of the
rich. In spite of the Partisan authori-
ties, however, she said. a secret congress
was held and arrangements made for
the propaganda.
Miss Goldman was angry also at the
apathy of the people in England re-
garding the spread of the propaganda
They acted, she said, as if a social rev
olution was never heard of.

meeting Saturday night and canvassed
the returns, declaring Mr.. Belts nom
mated, and fling with the county clerk
the certificate Of nomination
The PopuIistS and Democrats in an
effort to effect fusion in this district
had the customary row and the plan
failed The Populists nominated Frank
Collins a North Topeka commission
merchant. The Democrats held meet
ing to take action on the Populist NOM
nation but some one started the rumor
that Collins is a PrOhibitiOnisr.
This was too much for the Bourbons.
They quarreled for a while and when
the question of a nomination was ready
for disposition Henry Steele arose
solemnIy and said:
Since the Republicans and the Popu-
lists have nominated candidates with
out consulting u.s. the emphasis on the
last word, I move that we adjourn
without action
This upset the dignity Of the meet
ing for a moment but when the Demo
Gratis recovered their self possession the
motion was adopted and Collins and
Belts are the opposing candidates, the
Populist candidate going IN without
Democratic appreciation
This primary election is probably the
first that the Curtis influence has been
defeated in Shawnee county Mr. Hol-
man was a. candidate at the suggestion
of Curtis Mr.. Belts was a candidate
pledged TO J. R. Burton
While this was denied by some of the
friends of Belts, Mr.. Burton himself,
Dave MuIvane, Frank Grimes and John
Dudley. took a hand in the primaries
Saturday The outsiders did not show
their hands but they were behipf the
scenes giving directions and making
