the Ties Over q Bridge.

Independence, Kan, Sept. 22.-What
came very hear being a serious catas-
trophe occurred on the Missouri Pa
cifc near here early yesterday morn
Ing. With the apparent intention Of
robbing the southbound express which
left Kansas City Sunday night some
one had removed the fish plates and
twisted out two rails, one on each side
Of the track, a short distance above
the bridge across Elk river about two
miles north of town. This Is In Sc
cluded spot and on a heavy down
grade. The engineer applied the air
brakes, but the train was running at a
good rate and plunged on across the
bridge on the ties. At one place the
coaches loaded with passengers were
within four inches of the edge Of the
bridge. which is 30 feet above the wa
ter. The engine and cars did not turn
over, which is all that prevented the
death of many people. as the train was
heavily loaded. having about three
coaches besides q baggage and express
and q mail car. No clew Of the guilty
parties has been secured.

THE MILLER CASE.
1t Is Causing Much Discussion
Among Organized Labor.
STAND TAKEN BY Mr.. WHIIMORE.


|
Washington, Sept. 22.-The case o.
Assistant Foreman w. A. Miller, Of the
government printing Office, who was
reinstated in his position by order Of
President Roosevelt, after he had been
dismissed because Of his expulsion
from the local Bookbinders' union
came up for informal discussion at the
meeting yesterday of the executive
council of the American Federation Of
Labor. No statement could be obtained
at the conclusion of the days proceed
ings from President Gompers or any
members of the council in regard to
the matter and the usual official state
ment of the days doings given out
after the meeting completely ignored
the subject
A new feature of the case occurred
when President Whitmore, of the
Stereotypers' union, employed at the
government printing office, petitioned
President Gompers in favor of Miller,
urging him not to give the support of
the federation to the petition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking for Miller's re-
moval sent out as memorial from the
Central Labor union, of this city, and
which, 1t is said, President Whitmore
characterized as blunder. President
Whitmore is lifelong republican and
also one of the most prominent union
men of the city. 1t is said that some
other strong union men at the govern
ment printing office will join Mr.. Whit
more In hia stand.
The presidents attitude toward union
labor came up before Columbia Typo
graphical union No. 101 Sunday in the
form Of q resolution criticising his
course in the Miller case. The purport
Of the resolution was very similar to
that adopted and sent throughout the
country by the Central Labor union.
Action on the resolution, however, was
indefinitely postponed following q
statement by q member that a confeE-
ence on the subject was soon to be
held between President Roosevelt and
prominent labor leaders and that any
action In the meantime would be inop-
perfume.
The Central Labor union, of this city,
last night took supplemental action in
the case of w. A. Miller and adopted
strong resolutions which were sent to |
President Roosevelt, urging Miller's
dismissal. The union earnestly re-
quests the president to modify his Or
ders of last July to Secretary Cortel-
you, in which the president says there
shall be no discrimination between
lnion and non-union labor, and they
'urther petition that "W. A. Miller,
foreman In the bindery Of the
government printing Office, be dis
missed to promote the efficiency Of the
ervice on. charges made by the Book
,lnders' union, which prove his unfit
less for a public servant"
The union also adopted resolution
yhich was sent to Its secretary, Charles
v. Winslow, now at the convention Of
he International Association of Bridge
nd Structural Iron Workers at Kansas
ity, Mo-, requesting that the conven-
on pass resolutions in regard to the
rider of the president on open shops"

Horace Plaisted, the Enterprise

second degree and will go to the

Colby, Kan, Sept 22.-Considerable

settlers who persist in committing
depredations on the Dewey ranch in
this county. Three houses have been
burned on the ranch during the past
week. Detectives have been employed
by the Deweys to look into the mat

Berry family by the Deweys last May
there has been much more bad feeling
shown against the Deweys than for
