STRANDED FAR FROM PORT.
Sailor Of the Bennington En- Route to
New York Detained in GOOdland
by the Bad Weather.

David T. Evans, a sailor in the
United States navy, spent several days
in Goodland this week. He is on his
way from San Francisco to New York
and was delayed here owing to the
storm that blocked traffic. Evans is
without money and is tramping his
way.
Evans was lately furloughed for 60
days from the United States gun boat,
Bennington, and ordered to report at
naval headquarters in New York He
was formerly firstelass fireman on the
Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's flag ship,
and was in the battle off Santiago, July
3, 1898. He was transferred from the
Brooklyn to the Farragut and then to
the Bennington. His home is in Scran-
ton, Pa, and he left that place nine
years ago for life on the ocean wave.

Ameriean Decorations.

Douglas Story, a BrItisher who is
visiting America for the first time,
says that, despite our constant express
sions of contempt for foreign titles, he
has found more class distinction here
than in Britain and pride in pedigree
which is rapidly becoming a passion.
Referring to the recent Vanderbilt
French wedding, he says: "AlI around
me found an adulation of the happy
pair no self respecting Briton, German
or Frenchman would yeiId the noblest
of his nation. There was a wider prac-
teal gulf between those who pOred
over the details of the trOusseau in the
newspapers and the bridal pair than
between a Highland cOttager and the
queen, or an Inverary miIk-maid and
the Duke of Argyll. The law calls all
Americans equal, but greenbacks and
the exigencies of society have long
since set the classes on terraces as
definite and as accurately ranged as in
the oldest peerage of mOnarchical
Europe. Here in Washington there is
constant battle of precedence, and in
the few days I have rested here more
than one important engagement has
been fought and won. There are more
titles here than in a German statthal-
ter's suite. In every button hole is a
button Indicative of the wearer's right
TO be called a Son of the Revolution,
an officers of the Legion of Honor, a
Knight of Pythias, and heaven knows
what besides. Last year, on the South
African veldt, 1 ran across one or
two American correspondents whose
! breasts we're barred with ribbons. I
looked and marveled, and my sstonish-
ment was not Iessened when l learned
| these denoted that the CORES Ondents'
ancestors had fought IN the Civil War
or in the War of the Revolutionary
democratic contreres wearing the
badge of a hereditary nobility! For
what are our patents of nobility but
the indication that in the more distant
past a Douglas or a Campbell or a
| Churchill fought YaliantIy for king
and country? Scotsman though 1 am,
find more careful genealogies pre-
served here in America than in my
native land. To the stranger the
American affects to despise these
things, but among his own people be
yields nothing of the privileges of his
position, be it derived from money
from family history, or from accidental
prominence. I find my quarter is as
efficient to tone down the blaf camara-
derie of the servant class here as my
shilling was at home. There can be
no great lasting power about an equal
ity that yields so readily to the soft per
suasion of a coin"

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad company has asked its COM
petitOrs in the Western and South
western Passenger associations to agree
to a series of cheap excursions to and
from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo for the approaching season on
the following basis:
Tickets to be sold from Chicago and
all territory up to the Missouri river
on June Is and %, July 16, . and 80,
August 6, Is. 20 and q, at rate of one
fare plus 3. for the round trip. On
July aud 8, September 3 and 10, a
rate of SO is to be made from Chicago
aud SO from Missouri river points for
the round "trip, intermediate territory
to carry prOportionate rates and
tickets to be sold from Missouri river
points one day later than the dates
given above. PrOportionate rates will
be made to and from Glenwood Springs,
Salt Lake aud Ogden
A series Of eastbound excursions is
also proposed, tickets to be sold from
Colorado common points every Thurs
day commencing with June %, mp to
and including September j, at rate
of one fare plus 3, for the round trip.
All tickets to be limited for return
passage to October 81.
These rates viii be rendered connect
ing lines for basing purposes, which
will probably insure very low basis of
rates throughout the United States for
these excursions. The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific will make these rates
aud arrangements effective, regardless
Of the action OF its competitors and
viii run special trains on the dates
named.

UureIiabIlity of the Ground Hog.

Perhaps it may be due to profession
al jealousy. but it is a fact neverthe-
less that the records of the weather
bureau in the city of Washington
show the ground hog to be utterly IN
reliable and a rank humbug, so far as
predictions of future weather are con-
cerned. Everybody knows, observes
the Chicago Tribune, that according to
common report the ground hog, who
is an exceedingly stupid animal during
all the rest of the year, makes it his
habit to come out of his hole on the Sec
ond day of February. If he strikes a
nice, sUnshiny day. he is supposed to
become frightened at his own shadow
and forthwith he scurries back into
his hole. Thereupon six weeks of
stormy weather, with rain and snow,
are expected by all believers in natural
science. On the other hand, if on
ground hog day the little animal is not
frightened by his shadow, because of
overhangiug clouds, he stays out and
the weather kindly accommodates it
self to the ground hog and becomes
mild, with the result of an early spring
Goose bones, flights of ducks and other
things are not susceptible of being re-
duced to figures, but ground hog day
is g fixed event, and it is easy to ,ascer
tain just what the weather has been or
that day and for the following month
Whatever may be thought of the fore
casts of the weather bureau, there are
few who will question its accuracy re
garding past events in the weather
line. Records for the last ten wears
secured from the weather bureau es
pecially for the Tribune completely
disgraeed the unfortunate ground hog
and show automatically that in the
last ten years his predictions have
been verifyed in only two instances
According to the doctrine of chances
any man could cut deck of cards and
strike better average of weather than
the ground hog did in the last decade
of the nineteenth century. Putting
the condition of the weather on Feb
ruary 2 in one column and then com
pairing it with the precipitation for the
month, with the number of clear, part
" cloudy, and cloudy days, a deadly
parallel is instituted which results in 8
disastrous manner to to the ground
hog as weather prophet.

CURIOUS ROOT OF KANSAS.
It Is Formed Like q Man and Grows
Apundantly in the Rich River
Fsotfoma.

One time John J. Ingalls, was in this
town for campaign purposes, and put
in considerable of his time while wait
ing for the night meeting to begin at
the Herald Office, says the Gaylord
Kan Herald. A short time before
this Ben Curtis had left at this Office
a curious looking root, which compe-
tent judges said was manroot, from
its resemblance to the body Of man.
The head, neck, body, legs and arms of
a man we're all sufficiently indicated
by the different parts Of the root TO
make the resemblance very striking.
ingalls, noticed it standing in the corner
and asked what it was. He was told
that If was as near as we could find out
a manroot. He looked at it a moment
in his peculiar way. "ManroOt," he
drawled. Scan it voter" and without
waiting for reply continued: 81 have
talked to whole rooms full of those
things. Are there many here?" On
being informed that they were ex-
tremely rare in these parts he seemed
greatly relieved aud graciously handed
US up a cigar which he had purchased
for this special occasion.
This incident was brought to my
mind by seeing a specimen of this kind
of a root which was dug up near town
by Logan Ryan the other day aud put
on exhibition at Loyd's hardware store.
II Is known to be the root of a wild
gourd and grows abUndantly along the
streams all over western Kansas. They
grow to enormous size, some measur-
ing three feet around and-six feet high,
and invariably showing some resem-
blance to a man.

BIG SNOW STORMS
March Closes With An Unusually
Heavy Fail Of Wet Snow.
Trains stuck In the Snow for Thirty-Six
HOUrs-Stoek Losses RePOrted-A
Later Fail Of Snow Makes
Crop Prospect Good.

Sherman county is sweating under
vet blanket which means crops and
crops, means money in the farmers
pockets. Two big storms, with an aver
age snowfall greater than has visited
this section of country in many years,
occurred within the present week.
Last Saturday morning a light mist
began falling which later in the day
turned to wet snow and continued I'M
til nightfalI As the evening advanced
the weather grew colder and the wind,
which had been in the north, veered to
the northwest and all Saturday night
the storm continued. By Sunday
morning it had assumed the proper
tons of blizzard which ragged all day
Sunday and did not let up until Mon
day morning.
The amount of snow which fell is
hard to estimate as the velocity of the
wind piled it into large drifts in some
places ten feet deep, and filled stubble
fields with a foot and a half of snow
The plain places on the open prairie
we're swept nearly clean and hollOws
and railroad cuts were filled.
The STORM prevented the running of
trains for nearly SO hours. The first
train TO get stuck was No. 9-the Colo
RADIO Flyer-due in GoOdland at 90 in
the morning. The train was pulled by
two engines and the rail was unob-
structed until mile and a half west
Of Brewster. This train was stuck at
this point from Sunday morning until
Monday at noon. Snow plOws were
out, but Sunday night even a systematic
attempt at track clearing had to be
temporarily abandoned.
No. 10, eastbound passenger, layed
/ in GOOdland from Sunday night until
Monday afternoon, when the line was
cleared as far as Colby. No. 6, also
eastbound, went east over Union
Pacific rails from LImOn. The rotary
snow pillow broke down while bucking
snow near Brewster Monday and was
brought back TO Goodland for repairs
It was sent out again early IN the even
ing and cleared the road east of Colby
and by Tuesday all the passenger
trains were moving on time.
The storm was worse in Cheyenne
county than here and serious stock
losses are reported, both in Cheyenne
and Sherman counties. Tuesday was
a clear warm day and the snow melted
fast, but in the evening a heavy bank
of clouds doomed up In the west. Tues
! day night more snow fell, but it came
down gently, the wind being from the
east. The storm continued all day
Wednesday, but the snow did not drift
and nearly foot Of damp snow cover
ed the ground. Wednesday evening
the storm ceased and absence of wind
left the snow where it fell.
Thursday the weather was still and
the sky cloudy until about noon when
it began to clear off. In the previous
storm the snow was left in drifts, but
the later fall Of wet snow makes the
prospect for early pasture and
spring grain very promising. The bust
ness men Of Goodland and the farmers
of the county are hopeful for q good
season.
