The Congrcssional Situation

About the only politics of any in
terest in the Second District right now
is the congressional situation. j. ID.
Bowersock, the present congressman,
has asked for denomination. The
busters" are out for some reason,
seeking to defeat him. They claim
widespread dissatisfaction and are
seeking to control delegations to Ft.
Scott.
Wyandotte county after a close
fight seems to have instructed for Nat
Barnes, the Silas Porter faction get
ting 60 votes TO 73 for the Barnes fac
ton. 1t was assuredly claimed that
Johnson county would be against
Bowersock, but the delegation was
instructed for him. So he is admitted
to have Douglas II, Johnson 9, Frank
lin IL Bourbon is supposed to be
for home man. The Kansas City
Journal counts Miami and Linn
against him, gives him two of Ander-
son county's votes and . of Allen
county's 10, total of Al while 5S is
necessary to choice. 'Allen county
will have a divided vote so they
claim" says the Journal. The only
fights made on Bowersock are over
post-ollice nominations and ALLIE n
county is out of that. Yet some one
here claims to speak for the county
and say that it will not support Bow
ersock. Who he is or where he got
his authority to speak, nobody knows

Fire which started from some un-

nearly the entire foundry to the
ground 1t happened about O'Clock
and a prompt alarm was sent to the
fire department but the heavy roads
made progress slow for the depart

Nobody at the foundry seems to

to try and catchup on orders and they

foundry were seen TO be all ailame.
Workmen and people living near hur-

work managed 10 save the pattern
room, which adioins the foundry, but
the rest of the plant was completely
consumed This included the mould

which some valuable machinery was
lost.

the plant may be rebuilt. Owing to
the excellent business done here, or

Second District Politics


The following dispatches to the To-
peka Capital of this morning are of in
terest as showing how the peaceful con-
gressional web in this district is being
tangled by the politicians and the re-
porters:
Kansas City, Kap., Feb. 25.-There
is political turmoil again in Wyan-
dotte county and just what the result
of the congressional fight will be is
still a matter of doubt. Nathaniel
Barnes has been declared the success
full candidate in the congressional con-
| test, the board of canvassers having
voted this unanimously, but despite
this action on the boards part, the
| friends of Silas Porter are dissatisfied
and Porter may name delegation TO
90 to the Fort Scott convention. The
wiserlheads of the party in this coun-
ty are doing all in their power to pre-
vent this, but the dissatisfaction of the
Porter crowd is alarming those Re-
publicans who have been most earnest
ly working for harmony, no matter
what the cost.
1t is alleged-and on good grounds
that Congressman Bowersock is back
of the fight in Wyandotte county. His
close political friend, Judge George
j. Barker of Lawrence, has made fire.
quent visits to Kansas City, both be-
fore the congressional primary cleo
tion and since. The Congressman was
in Kansas City, Mo-, last Monday,
but he did not cross the line. While
BowersocS is sanguine of success, yet
it is declared that he fears the oppo-
sition and he and his friends did all IN
their power to defeat Barnes in the
contest last Saturday. The Enright
machine worked against Barnes and
it is reported that this action on their
part was the result of "a deal whereby
Bowersock promised Enright the
Douglas county delegation in the state
convention in return for his work in
the congressional fight. This story is
strenuously denied by Enright' S
: friends, but on the other hand there is
no good reason offered for the fight
they made on Barnes. Two weeks ago
r they were for him to man.
A union of the Wyandotte and
Bourbon county votes is hoped for by
, Bowersock' s opponents. Each of these
} counties has candidate, but If one
will withdraw and throw his support
to the other, it would give him forty
- one votes. Add to this a division OF
4 Allen county's ten votes, which the
= interests of Congressman Scott would
, necessitate, and division of Miami's
y vote, which, it is figured, Tom Kelly
. would be compelled to grant, and
, Bowersock's opponent would have at
n least fifty-one votes. Anderson coun
= ty has seven delegates and two of these
are for Bowersock. The other five

THIRTY KILLED
MANY INJURED
Horrible Accident on Galveston &
Houston Railroad.
ENTIRE TRAIN WAS BURNED

Ell Paso, Texas, March News
received here this morning states
that the Galveston Huston passen-
ger train due here at 7:l0 o'clock,
was wrecked at a little station by
the name of Maxon, in which
thirty people lost their lives and
forty were seriously injured,
The wreck occurred about $3.50
O'Clock this morning, the wreckage
caught fire and the entire train
was burned.
The agent at Tabor, seven miles
from the accident, saw the light
caused by the burning cars, took
handcar and went to the scene of
the disaster, which he reported the
most horrible he had ever wit
messed.
The passengers from the Pull
man sleeper were rescued, but in
the car next to the smoker, loaded
with emigrants bound for Califor-
mia, not one escaped. The en-
gineer, fireman and express mes
senger all met death
The scene of the disaster is so
far from telegraph station that it
is impossib ible to get correct re-
port of the dead and injured.
The wrecking crew left for the
scene of the disaster at $50 O'Clock
with seven hours run ahead of
them.
A later report received at $50
this morning says that sixteen are
known to be dead with several
missing and many injured The
first car was filled with emigrants
and none of them escaped alive.

GANNON'S CONDITION SERIOUS
Little Hope That the Injured
Limb Can Be Saved.

The Citizen stated yesterday
that the Woodmen and Eagles
would stand the expense of Claude
Cannon at the hospital The Odd
Fellows take exception to this, as
it WAS that fraternal order which
secured attendants from its own
membership, Mr.. D. F. Terrence
representing the subordinate lodge
and Mrs. j. s. Black the Rebekah
lodge. Mr.. Cannon is also a men,
ber of the Eagles lodge, and that
body will be asked to assist the
Odd Fellows in meeting the ex-
pense incurred.
j. f. Terrence returned from
Salida at l:30 this morning and
reported Mr.. Canon resting fairly
well when h. left there at IL
O'Clock last night
An examination had been made
and the wound dressed, but it WAS
thought no operation could be
performed before this afternoon or
tomorrow, owing to the weak con-
dition OF the patient, who had lost
80 much blood since he was in
jured and then the long trip a.
sisted in weaking the patient.
The examination revealed that
the small bone in the leg was
mashed to a pulp and portions
were removed The large bone
did not fare so badly. 1t was
broken in two places but was not
splintered The hospital corps
did not give much hope of saving
the limb, however, it might be
done.
Mr.. Cannon was suffering
great deal and for that reason was
kept under the influence of ether
last night. His friends feel sore
at the railway company that they
did not send him to the hospital
as soon as the accident happened
by special train. He was kept
lying in the depot about five hours
awaiting the arrival of No. 5.
OF course the loss of blood, the
long wait, the tedious journey and
the effects of opiates landed MIN
at the hospital in very weak
condition.
