BURIED UNDER HOT CL|NKER
Negro Workman M Cement Plant
Narrowly Escapes Terrible Fate
Covered to the Knees

People with vivid imaginations have
often thought ofIbeing caught in ma
chine kiln at smelter and dragged
200 feet through u blazing oven, or
rolled the 100 feet through white-hot
rotary at the cement plant, but neither
fate has befallen any one. One man
did lose his life by falling into pit
of red hot roasted oreiand last Friday
man nearly met his death beneath II
heap of hot clinker at the cement
plant.
His name is John Brown, and he is
colored man who came here last
week from Ash Grove, Missouri. He
was standing near the foot Of the
mountains of clinker at the cement
plant when u slide C ccurred and the
red hot clinker buried him to above
the knees and held him fast. Had he
fallen over he probably would have
met his death, but he managed to
stand erect in spite ST the excruciating
pain and his fellow workmen quickly
shoveled the clinker away. His flesh
was burned and blistered and he will
be laid up for some time, but he was
rescued in time TO escape dangerous
injury.
The clinker is the mixed clay and
rock and shale which has been ground
TO powder, wet and then run through
one of the white hot rotaries. 1t
comes out hard as steel and in the
form of gravel. From the twenty one
huge rotaries continuous streams fall

clinker to the top of the building and
then let it fall in huge heaps in a
large stone and iron chamber. 1t was
a Landslide" on the side of one of
these heaps that caught Brown, and
he may consider himself lucky that he
wasn't buried.
To add to the bad luck story some
one stole Browns new coat, Stetson

the boarding house in Cement town
that night and he suspects a strange
colored fellow named w. II. Hub

lola IS LEFT OUT AGAIN
Ft Scott MOnlt0rTakes the New Rail-
road Away from Here and Builds
1t from Moran to Chanute.

|
That something is up in railroad
circles regarding the new Fort Scott
lola & Western road is almost posi-
tive fact and it is rumored that the
road is contemplating decided change
in the route. lola is fighting the road
and behind this there is something
that has not been made public.
it is known that the Fort Scott. lola
" Western officials are negotiating
, with the st. Louis, Kansas City &
Colorado road which owns right-of-
way and depot grounds in this city
and which recently held directory
meeting here and issued $40, 600, 600
worth Of bonds to extend the line, and
it is not improbable that the new lines
will connect this city. John iScul-
lion, the st. Louis street car magnate.
and Ex-Governor Francis of the same
place, are behind the Colorado line
and it is now being built into Kansas
City.
The fact that the Fort Scott IL lola
company is contemplating a change is
significant.
One of the officials saidto reporter
for the Monitor today:
"We are negotiating with Scullion
and Francis and if we connect with the
Colorado road it will be in this city.
Then liue will be built from here to
Moran and over to Chanute, leaving
out lola and connecting with the
Santa Fe. This is the scheme. The
ST. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado
line will be extended from Versailles,
Mo-, to this point if the scheme is
carried out"
The foregoing story appeared in
Friday evenings issue and was tele-
graphed to the city papers. In Satur-
day evenings paper appeared this
story, which conflicts somewhat. The
first one says the road will scornfully
leave lola; the second tells why the
road is being built and how anXiou,,
above all else, it is to reach lola.
The last chapter reads as follows;
The new Fort Scott, lola & Western
line which Is now in course of con-
struction from Moran to Piqua, prom
ises to take very prominent part as
a much sought property by the west
ern railroads, which are trying to
reach the vast volume Of business
which comes from the gas belt. While
the line is a short one the promoters
feel that it will prove valuable and
that u handsome price can be obtained
for it when completed There are but
lew people who realize that this short
line is the connecting line for three
big railroad systems, which would en-
able either to reach the gas belt, and
the road will ultimately become the
property of one of these systems. 1t
would be a valuable acquisition for
either the NJ. X. g. T., the Frisco or
the st. Louis, Kansas City ~ Colo
RADIO road which is headed this
way. 1t would not be surprising If
either of these three companies would
purchase this line.

is completed this business can be
thrown to any one of the three lines
mentioned. One brick plant alone at

not what happened. Nothing was

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Sine
then the monkeys have received
tegular doses and the keepers
teport very few deaths from
consumption. OF course its
iheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
