committee on credentials time to unravel
tangles. AT the evening meeting, at
about 10 O'Clock E. W. Hoch was nomi-
mated for Governor by acclamation. The

Kansas Liar Still in Lead.

EDITOR GLOBE REPUBLICAN,;
lnotice in McClnre's magazine, March
number, that there is a German railroad
on which trains make 1872 miles.
This recalls the Kansas traveller story
of seyeral years ago, and by this story We
are still far in advance Of Germany lol
speed.
An Englishman was Dragging of the
speed on English railroads to onr traveller
Said the Englishmau when we are ap-
preaching town our engineers begin
ringing the he'll ten miles before the trait
comes to a station, or the train would run
by before the bell coNld be heard. Won.
delful isn't it.
Why yes, replied our Kansas tourist
we've goi bells but can't use them on oul
railroads; we run so fast that the train
keeps ahead Of the sound. The sound
never reaches the station till after the
train has passed.
Indeed, exclaimed the Englishman.
Fact, said our Kansau, we had to give
|up bells. We tried steam whistles and
they wouldn't answer. was on a loco
motive when the whistle was tried; we
were going at tremendous rate; hurri-
canes we're nowhere, We saw a two
horse wagon crossing the track five miles
ahead, and the cnglneerlet on tue whistle
blowing like trooper. 1t was'ntno use.
The next thing knew | was picking
myself oui of pond by the roadside,
amid the fragments OF the locomotive,
dead horses, broken wagon and dead en-.
glneer lay beside me. Just then the
whistle came along mixed up with some
frightful oats that | heard the engineer
use, when be first saw tile horses. Poor
fellow,>he was dead before his voice got
to him. After that we tried electric
lights supposing they would travel faster
than sound. We got one 80 powerful
that the chickens woke up all along the
road when we came by supposing It was
morning. But tlletrain kept ahead Of the
light still aud was In darkness with the
light close on behind It. Finally we had
to station telegraphs along the road with
signal men to telegraph when the train
was in sight. And have heard reliable
railroad men say that some of the fast
trains would beat The lightning fifteen
minutes, every forty miles. But | can't
say as that Is so; but the rest know to
be so. - B, D.J,
