Emporia, Kan, Nov. 5.-Ten of the
high school boys were expelled Monday
for an alleged offense against the peace
and dignity of the school in general and
of the principal. Prof. Allen, in particu-

team-and good one-of which the
students are justly proud. The team
has wished to play games with outside
schools but this has been forbidden by
the principal and feeling arose

named Casey at point within about a

the man was a section hand on the VOL

Of bad track, having taken out poor
rail and before it was in place heard an
approaching freight train. He hurried
at once to flag it, but did not get far
enough away from the place to give the
train time to stop and as consequence
the engine went into the ditch. Engineer
Ed Allison was pulling the freight and
was utterly unable to stop the train in
the short distance.
The freight was east bound and was
followed by No. g. The man as soon as
he could do so,went back and tagged No.

stop train No. S, which was west bound.
No one will probably ever know what
occurred after he had gone up the track

OUT ON A STRIKE.
Members of the Switchmen's Un'
ion All Over the Denver &
Rio Grandc System Or
dered to Quit Work.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
switchmen Of this city at the union sta
tion and at every other station on the
Denver & Rio Grande system. went out
on strike, in obedience to orders issued
by the officers OF the Switchmen's union.
For some time past the switch men
have been working under the schedule
OF the Brotherhood CT Railway Train
men, and the present strike is called for
the purpose OF gaining recognition from
the railway company as an independent
organization, under the Switchmen 9
Union of North America.
Heretofore the officials have recog-
nized nothing coming from the Switch
mems union, unless it came through the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen and
Order of Railway Conductors.
The B. OF r. T. and o. r. G. are work
ing under contract schedule with the
company. and are practically obliged to
live up to it. Unless they decide to
stand by the switchmen in their de-
mands, the latter cannot hope to win
anything from their strike.
Meetings are being held by the train
men and conductors all oyer the system
today and the result OF their conferences
will decide the strike of the switchmen.
Tho yards in Pueblo. Leadville and
number Of other points along the line
are blocked In this city, however, ev-
erything is moving right along and there
is no evidence Of any trouble. Nine
switchmen were employed in the yards
at the union depot OF this city and they
all quit work at o'clock yesterday, leav-
ing only the yardmasters to see to the
making up of all trains since then.
J. 8. Sorrells, night yardmaster, and
]. w. DAILY, the day man, have been as
sisted by Joint Agent w. P. Dale, and
every train has been made up and sent
out almost on schedule time, and no par
tcular Inconvenience has been felt on
account OF the strike.
1t is thought that the trouble will not
last but very short time. and that the
present difficulty will not result in a
general tie-up.

men, Ii was commanding figure

With the great intellect he possess

that his country must reject

On the other hand, and many
statesmen have believed it, Ii has
been accused of being sordid and
even hopeful that the minds of his
people might remain enslaved, so
long as it contributed to his wonder
full wealth and so long as he could
be the central figure at court, to
which people bowed in the ut
most submission.
He not only impressed General
Grant with the idea that he was act
uated with the highest motives for
his countrymen, but he made the
ablest diplomacy Of Europe believe
the same.
He lived from before the time
when his country acknowledged
any outside domination to a time
when he saw it humiliated by
foreign foe, who overrode all
the traditions of the sacredness OF
the imperial city and humbled in
the dust ruler whose fiat for life
and de- tn was irrevocable.
Let US, for the evident pretense
at least which Ii made to elevate
his country, through his foreign
connections and his great knowl-
edge, grant that he hoped much for
his country and his people, whether
such was his intention or not.
