DEAD NEAR THE TRACKS
TWO MEN KILLED BY PASSENGER
TRAIN NEAR, JACKSON CITY.
No Eyewitnesses, and Definite Par
ticulars Not Obtained-One Man
Resided in Washington.

John Newcomb. Familiarity known as
Keno Jack, a resident of ST. Elmo, AL
exandria county, Va, and James Sullivan
ST., residing at No. 1857 street northwest,
Washington. were struck and instantly
killed on the Pennsylvania railway tracks
shortly before Il o'clock last night, about
200 yards south of Jackson City, by a rap
Idly moving passenger train. Both bodies
were horribly mangled.
There We're no eye-witnesses to the TRACE
dy and definite particulars are not obtaina-
bic. 1t is supposed that the men were walk
ing together away from Jackson City and
did not notice the approach Of the train.
Their bodies were hurled several yards
from the track. So far as can be learned
the train did not stop and the remains Of
the two unfortunate men were discovered
soon after by the trackwalker, who made a
report to Constable William Winston. The
bodies were placed on the side Of the pub
lie thoroughfare and covered, where they
remained until this morning.
About 8 o'clock this morning Magistrate
stevenson summoned a coroner's jury and
viewed the remains. The jury was COM
posed of William Wright, John Richardson
special officer: Mr.. Veitch, Isaac Green,
Mr.. Vaughn, and Gustavus Smith But
little was done, as 1t appeared TO be hard
to find any one who could give any informa-
ton about the accident Coroner Stevenson
finally decided to convene the jury again
tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. when it is
expected that additional information can
be secured.

Somewhat Mysterious.

Just how the men happened to be to-
gether on the track at that hour could not
be determined. Neither was employed
anywhere near the place, but they had
evidently had some business In Jackson
City earlier in the evening
Newcomb was about sixty-f1ve years old
His wife and two sons-George, who is en-
ployed in Washington, and William, now
In the Philippines-survive him. For years
Mr.. Newcomb had been employed as a boss
OF laboring gang at the quartermaster' s
station at st. Asaph. His remains were
called for this morning about II o'clock
and conveyed to the undertaking rooms of
Wheatley & Son in Alexandria.
The body of Sullivan was given into the
care of his son, James Sullivan, jr., this
morning. Undertaken Lee took charge of
the remains and removed them to the late
home of the deceased, 1857 c street south
west. The funeral will take place Thurs
day morning. A son of Sullivan was en-
ployed as switchman on the road not far
from the scene of the fatal accident

from Anacostia, but no one could be found
who knew anything about 1t.

tor. our large corps of special cores

Mothers Getting Old.
[Lanark Ull0 Gazette.l

A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said: Il want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you have noticed a careworn look
upon her face lately. or course it
has not been brought there by any act
of yours, still it is your duty to chase
it away 1 want you to get up tomor-
row morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins
to express her surprise, 20 right up to
her and kiss her on the mouth. You
can't imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides, you owe her a
kiss or two. Away back when you
were little girl she kissed you when
no one else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face. You
now, and through those years of child
ish sunshine and shadow she was al
ways ready to cure, by the magic of a
mothers kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they were injured in
those skirmishes with the rough old
world. And then the midnight kisses
with which she routed so many bad
dreams, as she leaned above your pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years. or course she is not
SO pretty and kissable as you are,
but if you had done your share of
the work during the past years
the contrast would not be SO marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet, If you were sick, that
face would appear far more beautiful
than an angels as it lowered over you,
watching every opportunity to minis
ter to your comfort, and every one of
those wrinkles would seem bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each
other over the dear old face. She
will leave one of these days. These
burdens, if not lifted from her shou,-
ders, will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands that have done so
many necessary things for you, will
be crossed upon her lifeless breast.
Those neglected lips that gave YOU
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed, and those SAD, tired eyes will
have opened in eternity, and then
you will appreciate your mother. But
it will be too late.''

paper, he has this to say OF the Pop
ulist conference to be held in Topeka
on the 21st inst:
"a pop funeral will he held at To-
peka February Dist The grand old
reformer has hreathed his last. He
was horn in Kansas, where all the
great men and grand ideas are born,
in 1899. His mother, the alliance, was
a noble woman, but nobility was
wanting in the father. His father
was sore-head, a disappointed poll
tician who was thirsty for office The
mother believed the stories of this
young man and was made to believe
that great things might be accom-
plished for the dear people IL she
would only marry him and go into
politics. They were married and
went into the reforming business.
''For a time they prospered; at
least they made the people believe
that they would accomplish great
good if they were only placed in
power.
s'In their greed for power. like the
Israelites. they followed strange gods
and uni ted with their former enemy,
the Democratic party, and from that
day to the present the old pop party
has been losing power.
1.-The 2lst day of February will be a
sad day to the old wheelhOrSes who
started out to build up d great ma
tional political party.
1.-The old-tIme enthusiasm has long
since died out. For several years the
office grabbers have been running the
party"

There are great many people in
every small town who crack pale and
emaciated jokes about their home
papers. says an exchange. They like
to ridicule it and laugh at it and hold
it up for facetious comparison with
the metropolitan newspapers. They
expect their home paper to lie for
them, laugh for them. and weep for
them, and the only time it really is
ridiculous is when it does this. If
these same people lived in city, the
only way they could get their names
i'm one of the big papers would be to
go out and lie down i'm front of a
street car or jump off the roof of a
high building. They could become
fathers a dozen and one times, or they
could preside as chief mourners until
they had crepe enough around their
hats to lasso d horse, and vet they
wouldn't get any consolation out of
their boosted city paper but few
misspelled names among the vital
statistics.

An exchange says that 'se'' is the
most unfortunate letter in the Eng
lish alphabet, because it is never in
cash but always in debt and never out
of danger. Our exchange forgets that
the aforesaid letter is never in war
but always in peace. 1t is the Begin
ming of existence, the commencement
of ease and the end of trouble. With
out it, there would be no meat, no
no bread, no life, no gospel. no Jesus,
no heaven.-Cawker Ledger.

Here is a once great theoretical
party in Kansas right square up
against condition. 1t must either
fish or cut bait. Only few short
years ago it had the democratic party
by the ears. Now the democrats have
it by the ears and are forcing it to
take some OF it's own medicine. We
refer to the populist party. The once
dominant party must dance to demo-
cratic music or stay ont. 1t must eat
what the democrats hand out to it in
the future or chew shucks. Great is
''theory" but greater is condition"
