OVER A MILE A MINUTE
Union Pacific Fast Mail Makes a Rec
ord Run in Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., May A record run
through Nebraska was made by the
Union Pacific fast mail, which covered
the 153 miles miles between Grand Is
land and Omaha in $50 minutes. The
time was ten minutes under the best
previous score. The speed was made
possible by perfect weather and the
faultless operation of the huge loco
motive. The train left Grand Island
behind time and took a sixty leap
at the outset. West of North Bend the
train was covering seventy miles of
prairie an hour, and this side of that
town reached the eighty-mile mark for
some distance. The mail drew into
Omaha on time at $40 O'Clock, having
made as rapid a long-distance run
as any train ever accomplished in the
West

BAD GIRLS AT BELOIT
Attempt Murder, Robbery and Arson
at the Industrial School

Beloit, Kansas, May 3.-Three in
corrigible girls, Mary Xix, Amanda
Warfield and Corinne Otey, are being
held in dark cell at the state indus
trial school for girls at this place,
charged with laying plot to take
three human lives, to burn the institu-
ton, to rob the officers of the cash on
hand and then to escape.
All three are tough characters.
Some days ago they got together and
formulated the plot. They were to go
into the Office at a certain hour of the
day when nobody was there but Mrs.
II. A. Hanback,, the superintendent,
and kill her with loaded cane. Then
they were to call in Mrs. Baker, the
matron, on the preteXt that the super
intendent had tainted, land kill her
also. The next move was to set fire to
the building and, during the excite
ment, to rob the safe, killing William
Baird, the clerk, if necessary, and
then make their escape. The day that
the deeds were to have been committed
Mrs. Hanback, and the matron went tc
town, leaving the institution in charge
some men. Determined still to do theii
worst, the three girls set fire to the
building, robbed the cash drawer o.
surplus funds on hand and made theii
escape while the employees of the insti-
tuition were putting out the blaze.
The girls stuck together and took to
the bush. a posse was organized ant
they were captured about twenty mile,
from Beloit and brought book. At tn,
time of the capture nothing was know
of the murder plot. a fourth girl
who had been solicited to join it, bu
refused, gave it away. Each of tn,
three girls was then put in the swea
box, and each one confessed to tn
whole thing.

Beaumont, Tex, May 3.-Perry Nc
Fadden sold three acres of land near

last night. This is the only big deal
announced, although several others
are pending.
Land within several miles OF the
gusher field is selling for development
purposes, which is healthy indica-
tion. The Kelly we'll, upon which so
much depends, will not be in for a

ably seventy derricks near the gusher

Beaumont is preparing to become a
city. The city has let contract for
the immediate building of water

miles of water mains. Rails for the
street road are on the way and the

Hutchinson May 4.-George Mon
roe, of Hutchinson, is home from the
Philippines, where he served as a pri-
vate with the Thirty-fourth infantry.
He pays a glowing tribute to General
Funston and says that the privates
who served under Funston rejoice at
the recognition shown him. Monroe
recounts an experience of his own
which shows that Funston had kind
ly solicitude for the private.
SIN February of 1900," Monroe
says, 81 was with Company G, of the
Thirty-fourth, on a search for a trail
across the mountain from the Santos
valley. We had been out five days
and at the last were on very short ra-
tions. One evening a party of twenty
of us, including General Funston, be-
came separated from the rest of the
company. We had been letting the
horses down the side of the mountain

half starved. | was feeling SO badly

Lieutenant Mitchell and Lieutenant
Wolf-and General Funstont took turn
about with those two on guard duty
all night, and not a single private was
disturbed until morning. There were
seventeen privates in that camp next

their lives for that little general
That instance was only one of many

HESS|AN Fly At WORK
Doing Some Damage in
Southwest Kansas
THE WHEAT IS VERY THICK
Will Bear Thinning out and
Still Yield Well
The Acreage is From Five TO Ten per
Cent Heavier than it was
Last Year

Salina Kas., May 3.-Farmers
south of Salina claim that within the
last week the work of the Hessian fly
has developed in a large number of
wheat fields that were sown early. The
last ten days have been the first with
out rainfall this spring, and the
ground has become dry on top. In
some wheat fields the leaves and stalk
have turned yellow near the ground,
and this is what is looked upon as the
work of the fly. Other farmers claim
that this is not an indication of the
fly and will not seriously interfere
with the growth of the wheat.
If the present scare turns out to
be unfounded and nothing else inter-
feres, it is pretty certain that the
wheat crop this year will be consid-
erably larger than that of last year,
which broke all previous records. The
acreage in Central Kansas is from
5 to 10 per cent larger than last year
while in the northern part of the state
it is still larger. The stand is unusu
ally thick and the growth has beer
exceedingly rank. In fact, it is sc
thick that George K. Warren, man.
ager of the See-W arren Milling com
pany here, declared a few weeks age
that it would be blessing if some
thing would happen to thin out the
wheat if it could be done evenly.
"When theIwheat is as thick as it i
at present." said Mr.. Warren, 18th,
heads will not be as long nor tn,
grains as plump as if the stand wer
not so thick. In other words, ther
would be just as much wheat and i
would be Of better quality. Tn
plumper the berry is the more valua
