A MAN SCALDED TO DEATH
And Three Others Injured, One Of Them

CAUSED BY STEAM PIPE BURSTING
One Victim Parboiled From

CAUSES THAT Leu TO THE ACCIDENT

Four employees of the Diamond State
Steel Go. were scalded, one of whom
died, shortly after / O'Clock Tuesday
morning at what is known as No. 2
boiler at the Old Ferry Mills.
Ths accident was caused by the
bursting of o circular steam pipe,
which had Eeen In use less than q
year and which had been thoroughly
tested by the Hartford Boiler Insurance
Co. short time ago.
According to the testimony Of the
employees about the place as ID the test
of and condition of the boiler and pipes,
IL appears that the accident was one Of
those unavoidable affairs that COCA
sionally happen. A thorough investi-
cation of the accident is being made

Jacob Richardson, colored, of Ninth

of this department., and was also in the

The last two men were on top of the
hoilers, and when the explosion occurred
they were unable to find their way to

the crown of his head to the soles Of

died at IL o clock.
The officers of the firm had issued a

FOR A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
Kansas State Union to Move Against th

Kansas State Union to Move Against the
Illegal Sale of Liquor.
Topeka, KAN, Feb II. Secretary
Stephens of the State Temperance
UDicn has issued the following mani
festo:
lie officers and executive COM
mittee of the State Temperance Union
hereby recommend and urge immediate,
energetic and persistent law enforce
ment action in every part of the State,
following the example of the citizens
10 Topeka. Holton and other cities.
"Tbe hour for action has come. Let
it be at once and in the most orderly
and determined manner, without riot,
bloodshed or destruction of property.
Modification has defiantly trampled the
laws of the State under foot until
patience has ceased to be virtue. If,
under existing conditions, the people
now act. not rashly, but vigorously and
simultaneously. every joint and ques-
tionable resort can be banished from
Kansas.
'Let ministerial alliances or local
temperance committees take the initia
tive. Organize. Send out recruiting
agents. Enlist the written support of
every man and woman possible in
the community. Call massmeetines.
Unitedly demand of tie officers the
immediate, the absolute, the uuoom-
promising enforcement of the Probibi-
tory law. Notify lawbreakers that all
violations must Immediately cease and
that their Illicit fixtures and goods must
be removed from the State forthwith.
Assure them positively that unless
these entirely lawful demands are COM
piled with faithfully and promptly, the
officers will be assisted to the fullest
extent that an outraged public can give
assistance.
Perpetuate these organizations, pre-
pare for the primaries. Look we'll to
ihe election of trustworthy officials,
both municipal and county.
"Do not delay. Begin action now
and cease not until every law breaking
institution has been driven forever
from tine State.
1.-THE principal work of the State
Temperance Union is educational,
through pulpit, press and platform. but
the logical elimination of this work is
better enforcement of the laws. The
two. should proceed hand IN hand until
prohibition absolutely prohibits. y

FRENzIED HUNT FOR $4,000
Bank Officials Thought 1t Had
Been Stolen.
$4,000 HAD BEEN EXPRESSED
But the Package Was $25, 900
Short.
Finally, 1t Was Learned That This Package
Was for Bank at St. Louis, and That the
$4,000 Package Had Been Sent to the
st. Louis Concern. "a z

Chicago, ILL.,, Fob. 12.-The Chroni-
Gle says: For several hours yesterday
bank officials in Chicago aud New York
were in frenzy of excitement over
the disappearance and supposed rob-
tery of S25, 600 from a package of cur
rency in transit to this city from the
eastern metropolis. The money package
had been ordersd by Chicago bank
from bankinghouse in New York, the
shipment being made through an ex-
press company.
When the package reached its destil
nation here, lit was found to contain not
the $50, 200 ordered and the invoice
letter credited as having been sent,
but only s25,
There was no sign that the sealing
wax on the package had been tampered
with, while the mail advioes that ar
rived in the morning made it plain
that $50, 600 had been sent.
The officials of the Chicago bank
refused to receipt for the package, in
formed the express company of the
shortage and notified the 6ank ia New
York.
After lively interchange of tele-
graphic and telephone messages be-
tween this city and New York, q tele-
gram was received by the cashier of
the Chicago bank, advising him to
reship the S25, 900 to bank in st.
Louis. This message was at once taken
as affording an explanation of the
mystery, it being taken for granted
that the $40, 600 ordered by the Chicago
bank had been sent to the ST. Louis
concern, and that the S25, 900 he received
was intended for the St. Louis bank.
