work, having been built for just such
work. I have renamed her the Amer

with her machinery aft so that the
stem can have play in the ice. In ad-
dition to this her screw is in a well, so
that it can be lifted when the ice in

not limited the time to one year.

Snow Storm Has Delayed Traf-
flc on the Railroads
Santa Fe Applies Double Header
System to Passenger Trains.
COMPLETELY TIED UP.
That Was the Condition Yester-
day on the Central Branch.
Rock Island and Union Pacific
Experience Delays.

The snow Of Saturday and Sunday
caused considerable interruption Of rail-
road business. The Santa Fe trains
were mostly delayed a short time. but
none enough to cause them to be
annulled- No. left Topeka about an
hour late. and No. s. due here at ABS p.
M, did not arrive until 5 o'clock
The round-house people were put to
much trouble, however, it being neces-
sary to supply all the Sunday trains
with two engines. This was done prin-
cipally for the reason that the rails COW
cred with snow were very slippery and
two engines. could overcome this more
easily than one. The St Joseph pass
enger was pulled by two engines in or
der that snoWdrifts more likely to &C.
cur along that line might be attacked
more successfully.
By 6 o'clock last evening the main line
between Topeka and Kansas City was
well broken, and no further delay was
apprehended.
The Rock Island trains ran pretty well
on time, except No. 2. from Denver,
which was lost for a good while yester-
day. It was due at $3.50 D. ms but did
not arrive in Topeka until about 8
o'clock this morning. The West-bOund
train last evening was laid out an hour
on account of the late arrival of the St
Joseph passenger. The Rock Island has
a large number Of cuts along the line
west Of Harrington, and these, of course,
heavy fall of snow.
The Union Pacific east-bound pass
enger yesterday afternoon bore evil
dences of having encountered much
snow; on the engine the snow was piled
as high as the smokestack and along the
sides of the coaches were signs indicaf-
ing that the drifts were very deep. 1t is
reported that the Santa. Fe line between
Leavenworth and Topeka was blockaded
by several cuts being filled with snow
From Atchison is reported the worst
storm in several years. Three hundred
miles Of the Central Branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific were tied up Sunday and
not a. train reached Atchison over that
line. Passenger trains are snoWbound at
CaWker City. Greenleaf and Whiting,
and several freights are stuck at differ
ent places. The drifts along the Central
Branch are said to be six feet deep in
many places.
Railroads in Kansas experience at
times difficulty with snow, because they
are not prepared for 1t so well as in
mountainous regions. Here ordinary
stationary snow-plows are all that are
used in attacking drifts, while in the
mountains large rotary plows are used
with which an engine can make its way
though drifts fifteen feet deep
Engine men say there is compare
lively little danger in 'sbucking' dry
drifts. but should the snow be wet and
packed the chances are that the loco
motive will become badly disabled or
leave the track

About John nrarahaiIL

Interest in the John Marshall celebra-
ton appears in The Worlds Work for
February by some characteristic incl
dents in the life of the great chief JUS
tice besides which there are q Marshall
portrait a silhouette and pictures of a
number Of Marshall landmarks. Here IS
one of the Incidents:
One day, Judge Marshall, ,engrossed in
his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads OF North Carolina on his
way to Raleigh in a stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sull1y ran over a sapling and was Tilted
so as to arouse the Judge Whsn he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty
My old naarster," he asked, what fer
you don't back your hQFse2
That's true said the judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking MS de1iv-
erer heartily. he felt IN his pocket for
some change. but he did not have any.
Never mind old man. he said. Il
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord
The old negro was not impressed with
the stranger, but he called at abe taV-
ern, and asked the keeper IL an old gem
tleman had left anything there for him.
ssOh, yes" said the landlord. he left
silver dollar for you What do you
think of that old gentleman
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said:
s'He was q gem'man. for sho': but
patting his forehead-sshe didn't have
much in here"
