STORM EXPERIENCES.
Mixed Train Two Days Going From
Topeka to Leavenworth.


During the recent snow storm the reg
ular crew on the mixed train from To-
peka- to LeayenWorth over the l. I. d
S. w. branch passed through some ex-
citing experiences.
1t required the greater part of two days
to make the trip. The largest snow drift
was encountered between McLouth and
Oskaloosa, which was 240 feet long and
seven feet nine inches in depth A long
run was made and the engine went plow-
ing its way into the drift and became
stalled Nothing but the top of the
smokestack and cab could be seen pro-
truding from the snow.
Twenty-three farmers with shovels were
around the monster engine, the time nee
essary for this task being over two
hours.
At another place the train was cut in
two for the engine to go on and take
water After taking water it was found
that the locomotive could not get back
to the rest of the train. Here another
hour was spent in shoveling. The trip
was finally accomplished at the end of
two dayS.

He talked differently from other

We're drawn from a deeper well. He
was original without being notionai,
but never sarcastic without being
slightly severe. A scholar had rather

remark that his mates could never for

gresham Springer and his quotation
from Henry CIay-'Id rather be right

of his tongue that made government in

Speaker Reeds relation to his as

An elderly lady, still living in Bunga-
nuc, once told me that the unpardon-
able sinner, in Mr.. Reeds opinion, was
a liar. Her daughter ran away from
his school one day to sleigh-ride with
a young man. When asked the cause
of her absence, she frankly and re-
spectfully told him, adding that she
liked the fellow. Go again, "

other, never afterward got the floor
with his consent. Liars" he has often
been heard to say, ARE properly dis

twenty-fi first chapter of Revelation"
Perhaps this accounts for his failure as
an ideal politician. On this line he had
his limitations.
At the age of so Mr. Reed had fame
honor, and his Portland home. With OPP
portunities for making hundreds of
thousands of dollars. he left congress
at the end of 20 years in about the same
condition finacially that he entered it
A London friend once sent Dwight L.
Moody a check for Ell 900 sterling to
use in his work without an accounting,
but no one believes, much less suggests,
that a penny of it stuck to his fingers.
Mr.. Reed belongs to this class of men.
No one can now blame him for leaving
congress and making ready to meet the
needs of "a rainy day" Honest, truth
full, sincere, pure, his great ability is en-
thrOned amidst such virtues that one
can easily believe that God made man
in his own image, after his own like

the state Democratic committee what

held in April or the first week in May
When Martin had concluded his re-

Monday morning while small herd of stray cattle were being driven across the line from Sonora. one of the herd, vicious old COW, started out on rampage. She kept every body in the vicinity on the jump looking for high places, and would have prob ably killed or hurt someone had not her wild career been cut short by a load of buckshOt. Among the first with whom the COW disputed the right of way was Mayor Oyerton. Poor animal, she did not know what she was up against.

Before they could rope her, the COW seeing her enemy, the mayor, charged at him with head down. MT. Overton waited until the COW was in twenty feet of him, when he fired, killing her instantly. It is reported that a woman and boy were hooked, but not badly hurt, by this same COW, earlier in the morning.
