THE SECRET is OUT.
Why Soldier Creek Became So Un-
ruly Last Week.

The reason for Soldier creek going
on such a rampage as it did last week
is easily explained by the report re-
ceived today by Director Jennings
from Holton.
The report shows that in five days
1874 inches of rain were recorded at
Holton, and that one rain amounted
to 5A inches. The rains recorded at
Holton were as follows: July 8, .65
inches; July 5, 5.25 inches; July g.,
122 inches; July z, ST inches; July 8,
rs inches On the night that Topeka
received a rainfall of two inches and
over, HoIton received a rainfall of
over five inches. Soldier creek and

Lake. rise in jackson county where

The Steam Fire Engines,

The two long expected steam fire
engines have arrived in Topeka. One
of the engines is d second-class
steamer, entirely new. The other is
an old steamer which the city has
owned for several years and which
was sent to the factory to be remod-
eled and practically rebuilt. Both
steamers were tested on July and s.
and show fine capabilities. On July
the steamers were stationed at a
hydrant with domestic water pressure
of 40 pounds in the mains. On July 5
they were stationed at hydrants with
fire pressure of go pounds in the
mains. They were also tried at the
public cisterns.

The returns from this state indicate

In general, the situation is chiefly
interesting because of the fact that the
tickets in many of the states were cut.
President Roosevelt ran ahead of his
ticket in many localities, notably in
Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality of $4,000, while the Republi-

election of Democratic governor is

by Judge Parker and William J. Bryan.
In his statement Mr.. Bryan said. re
ferring to Judge Parker:
tHe did as well as he could under
the circumstances; he was the victim
of unfavorable conditions and of a
mistaken party policy. The result was
due to the fact that the Democratic
party attempted to be conservative in

KILLED BY EXPRESS TRAIN

Mary H., widow of the late Senator
Caleb C. Pancoast, of Woodbury. Heights,
met violent death last Monday evening
by being struck by the Cape May Express
that passes through Woodbury. at 5.4S p.
M, and her mangled remains lay beside
the tracks all through the night while de-
voted sons in Woodbury. and in the Heights
believed her to be at the home of the other.
With her son Bert she resided at Wood
bury Heights, but frequently visited her
son William on HeIroyd Place, this city,s
sometimes she spent the evening or night
in Woodbury., hence no uneasiness was
felt at the Heights home when she did not
return Monday evening.
She spent last Monday afternoon in
Woodbury. and started for home soon after
five o'clock When no errand called her
into the centre OF the city, it was her habit
to take the railroad track home. This she
did Monday evening Early Tuesday
morning an uneasiness came over Bert and
uO SAdAuooh ~
house to see if his mother was there.
The feelings of both sons may be imag-
ined when they learned that their mother
had started home the evening before The
alarm was given and when a searching
party was being organized, the news came
about o'clock that the body had been
found along the tracks.
In going up and down the boys had no.
ticed an object beside the tracks covered
with white FROST but never thought to ex
anime it until it was impressed upon them
by finding her glasses, that she bad been
stuck by train The unacceptable mass
was the remains of their mother, recogniz-
able only by the clothing.
When the express arrived in Camden, a
ladies bonnet was found on the cow-catcher
and the railroad authorities were making
search when the body was found.
Mrs. Pancoast was in her 61st year The
funeral will be from her late home on Fri
day, the 11th inst. at 1890 a. m. Inter
ment at Colestown.
Coroner Wilson held an inquest on We'd
nesday and the jury exonerated the train
crew but censured the railroad company
for delaying search for the body of the
owner of the hat, until next day. Follow
ing is the verdict
VERDICT OF THE CoRoNER's JURY.
We, the jury empanelIed to inquire into
the cause of the death of Mary II. Pam
coast, find that she came to her death on
Monday evening, November 7th, about
40, by being struck by the engine of
train No. 20, Cape May express, of the
West Jersey and Sea Shore Railroad, and
believe that the crew of said train are free
from blame for her death.
We further find that after the railroad
officials in Camden had been notified at
607 by the train crew that they had reason
to believe that an accident had occurred,
by the finding of woman's hat, stained
with blood, on the pilot Of the engine,
bhat no proper measures we're taken 70
discover the nature and seriousness of the
accident.
