Popular P. N. Corsets.

The ever increasing popularity of P.
n. corsets is due to the fact that their
many good qualities appeal to ladies.
In the first place, all the steels used in
their manufacture are guaranteed
against rust, which absolutely prevents
the soiling of garments from rust.
They are made in all up to date styles
and of the best material and workman
ship, of the latest dip and with the
stocking supporter attachment, and at
popular prices. From the fact that
they give the figure the form so much
to be desired, they are APPLY termed
Figure Builders. =" Ladies who desire
a corset at popular prices and who like
the military figure. would do well to
try them. Hit

Winner of Christmas Handicap Killed
in q Wreck.

Keithville, La, Jan. 1.-TWO lives
were lost, one person seriously injured
and the race horse George Arnold, for
which $4,000 had been refused, was
killed in disastrous collision between
a Texas Pacific fast freight train and
a Houston, East & West Texas freight
train on the siding at this place. The
dead:
w. J. DANIELS, Houston, fireman
JAMES KANE, stable attendant.
The injured:
Bob Edwards, a negro fireman, both
legs broken and severe internal injuries.
Twelve cars of the Houston, East and
West Texas train were burned to the
trucks. w. ]. Daniels, the fireman who
was killed, was either crushed or burned
to death under the wreckage. Bob Ed
wards, another fireman, sustained his
injuries by jumping from his caboose.
The engineer Of the Houston, East and
West Texas train, who is said to have
been Newt Denton, disappeared ir1fne
diately after the accident
One car contained four race horses
belonging to J. W. Fuller, of Wills
Point, Tex, which were en- route from
the winter meeting at New Orleans
George Arnold, the only one killed, won

GIVEN SEVERE PUNISHMENT.
Plotting Convicts Compelled to Daily
Stand IN One Position.

Leavenworth, Jan. 2.-Solitary con-
finement to stand at the door of their
cells during working hours with one
hours intermission at noon for light
meal, to continue until such time as
they will tell how and where they OBJ
tanned a file last Saturday, is the pun
ishment melted out to Mullins and
Baze, two convicts at the United States
penitentiary.
Before being sent to their cells they
were thoroughly searched, as was their
cells, to find any other eontraband ar
ticleS, but the file was the only article
discovered. Before being placed in cells
to stand with their faces at the bars
Warden McClaughry told them they
should remain there and undergo that
punishment until they sent for him and
told the entire truth. This will be car
ried out even though it takes month,
or more, to subdue the stubborn pris-
onerS.
So far they have shown no signs of
weakening, nor has a ASingle request
gone from them to the warden. 1t is
believed, however, that they will give in
and make a clean breast of it soon. as
but few men can undergo the severe
physical strain of standing in one posi-
ton for an entire day, let alone a series
of such days.

not depend on the plot of the play alone
to carry it to success. There is an
abundance of good songs, of imperSona-

give variety as well as comicality to
the performance. The piece is clean
in construction and situation, and
sparkles with spontaneous humor. Miss
Laura Evans, a Topeka actress, takes
prominent part in the comedy.
The Lumbermen's quartette, which is
one of the features with THAI & Ken

FREEDMAN AFTER BURKETT.
New Yorker Tries to Tempt Crack
Fielder From Am erican League.

Boston Mass Jan 2-Secretary
Knowles of the New York club Aas solic-
tied Jesse Burkett to manage. captain
and play with New York next season.
with a big salary. This is Freedman 5
slap at Ban Johnson for sticking to A. C.
Spalding in the presidential fight of the
National league.
Just what the money proposition was
neither Burkett nor Knowles would give
out. But that New York would like to
gather in Burkett there is no doubt.
Knowles made Jesse an offer that nearly
took the latter'S breath away for a mo-
ment- 1t is understood it was made on
a two year basis.
The offer would have been considerably
better than $10.00o for that is the size of
Burkett's contract with the St. Louis
American league team Jesse will not sa V
what he will do. 1t is believed Jesse will
remain with Ban Johnson.
