summon a doctor to attend the sick
wife of a rancher
Before that he had been decorated for
bravery. Churchill's father and his
fOrefathers had been seamen. When 13
years old he was on his fathers steam
ers running between Hartford and New
York. He shipped as cabin boy on the
Black Star ship John Bright from BoS-
ton to San Francisco, to Antwerp and
back to New York. Then he became
chief officer of a sound steamer and
then a Long Island sound pilot. He
passed the examination and became a
Boston harbor pilot.
1t was for rescuing Cora Mcfarland
from the waters of Boston harbor that
the Boston Humane society awarded
him a silver medal. Before that he had
pulled a boy from the water. During
a terrific gale three fishing schooners
We're wrecked off the coast near Glou-
cester. They sent up signals of distress
but no one dared attempt the rescue.
Captain Churchill ran his tug to the
sinking schooners and rescued allhandS
when the feat seemed impossible.
It was between his service as cabin
boy on the John Bright and his service
as pilot of Boston harbor that he came
to Kansas and made the memorable
ride in the blizzard. He returned to
Kansas in 1890 to look after the affairs
of his friend, T. G. Zimmerman, of
Dodge City, after his death. Captain
Churchill married the charming Miss
Zimmerman and continued the Zin-
norman ranch.

CREW TAKEN ASHORE.
After Being Imprisoned 35 Hours on
a Wrecked Steamer.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 30.-After being i'm

for 36 hours, Captain Wilder and his crew
of q men were taken ashore by the crews
of Kinnakeet, Creeds Hill and Hatteras
life saving stations.
The big steamer is pounding on Dia-
mond shoals under a terrific sea and the
crew say she will be a total loss.
In bewildering fog Tuesday night the

graveyard of shipping before her crew
realized what had happened.
This was at II O'Clock and before the
Day had come the gale that swept over

over the helpless vessel incessantly. The
force of the wind and tide threw her on
her port beam and the flood of water ex-
tlngutshed her fires before her inflamma-
bic cargo could become fgnited- Had this
not been the case the % men aboard the
Northeastern would have met a horrible
fate

UP the alfalfa doctrine. At the Chi
cago Worlds fair Churchill won a
bronze medal on the alfalfa he ex-
hibited.
The gospel OF alfalfa did not sweep
like wild fire over the state. The
farmers were slow to be convinced,
but gradually they were converted.
The advice of the young farmer to
raise alfalfa" took root here and

Then other agriculturists took up the
missionary work of spreading the doc
trine of alfalfa Many came to the
support of the short grass farmer who
preached alfalfa. In a short time his
disciples were many.

CARRIED INTO THEROOM
Cunningham Couldn't Walk-Prelimi-
nary Hearing Is Continued.

In the city court this morning the
preliminary hearings of Nate Ferrand
alias w. B. Cunningham, and Vashti
Cunningham, charged with stealing
Chester Woodward's automobile, were
continued until January 6.
Major A. NJ. Harvey appeared as
attorney for the defendants. He an
nounced to Judge McCabe that ais he
was not called into the case as an at
torney until yesterday he was not pre-
pared to go on with the hearing and
asked for a postponement until he
could prepare for the hearing. County
Attorney Hungate did not object to
the continuance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham were
taken to the court room separately
and were not allowed to communicate
with each other. Mrs. Cunningham
was cool and although she trembled
as she held up her hand to be sworn
to the application for a continuance,
she did not seem at all agitated.
Cunningham was carried into the
court room. He trembled and shook
with what seemed almost conVulsions.
He carried his right leg and right arm
like a paralytic, the same as when he
was taken to the court room ten days
ago to have his preliminary hearing
set.
A large crowd assembled in the
court room to be present at the hear
ing. The proceedings in the court
room lasted ten minutes.

ODELL CONFIRMS 1T.
The Governor Says Depew Will Sue
ceed Himself in the Senate.

New York, Dec. 30.-Chauncey
Mitchell Depew of New York will sue
ceed himself for a term of six years
as United States senator from the state
of New York, continuing as the col
league of Senator Thos. c. Platt who
has four years to serve.
The formal announcement of this
conclusion was made at the Fifth
Avenue hotel by Governor Odell as
chairman of the Repu blican state
com mmittee and came as the culmina-
ton of series of conferences by
prominent Republicans extending
over several weeks, and continuous
during the past few days. Governor
Odell's formal announcement which is
troversy on the subject gives it his
conclusion that Party harmony will
be best subserved by the reelection of
Senator Depew," comedies that the
sentiment favoring his selection is
very strong throughout the state and
declares that "It would have been the
worst kind of party generalship to
have run counter to the expressed
public opinion"
A letter was given out addressed by
Mr.. Black himself to Senator Depew,
in which the former governor with
draws his name from further cOnSid-
Grafton for the SenatorShip and de-
clareS that in this course his duty as
Republican and his private senti-
ments coincide.
In a graceful letter of reply Senator
Depew thanks Mr.. Black for his
cordial sentiments and declares that
the former governors action places
the party under great obligations to
him.

THEN MELBa BALKED.
Refused to Appear Until Orchestra
Donned Dress Suits.

One of the most ehara eteristic of Melba
stories dates from st. Louis, an oc-
casion when the diva and her company
arrived but a little time before the hour
fixed for the comm cement of her grand
opera season, just in time for the artists
to make preparation before appearing.
Nine. Melba noticed that the musicians
were in morning dress. She promptly sent
for the leader. He protested; remonstrat-
ed. ''They had but a few minutes before
come off train" But she remained firm.
IF the gentlemen of my orchestra do
not appear in evening dress. shall not go
on the stage!' This had the desired eff
feet and many were the press notices COM
plinenting the poprla-. favorite on her
sense of the fitness of things
A Melba story: Madame had been prac-
ticing in her rooms in a New York hotel
and she encountered a strange lady in
whose rooms opened into the same corri-
dor her own. The stranger approached
her aging: Madam, think you would
be touched to know that my little boy
who is lying in bed and getting over an
illness, when you began to sing, lifted his
tiny finger and said: Hist, Mamma,
Birdie'''
a few weeks ago Melba landed in Amer
lea. with Ter company and will be heard
here in grand concert on January q.

SILVER is SCARCE.
The Consumer Now Compelled to Wait
on the Producer.

New York, Dec. 30.-The recent ad-
vance in the price of silver calls atten-
ton to the increasing scarcity or the
floating supply of that metal Bar sill
yer was quoted today at 61A cents an
ounce. While Mexican dollars ranged
from 48 cents to 4S3s cents. These rates,
it is said, were merely nominal and any
great demand for bars would cause an
advance of the price. Conditions in the
silver market are now such that the
consumer waits on the producer.
The war in the far east, the steady
absorption by East India and this
country increasing trade with China
are responsible experts say, for this
complete reversal of conditions.

SEATON DENIES.
Says He Will Not Move Foundry to
Topeka.

Atchison. Kan, Dec. 30.-Captain
John Seaton today denied the report
from Topeka that he contemplated
moving his iron foundry to Topeka,
where it was said he would operate it
as a factory to make car wheels for
the Santa Fe railroad.
When asked in regard to the truth
of the statement, Mr.. Seaton en-
phatically declared there was nothing
to the story and refused to discuss the
subject further.
It has been known that plans have
been under consideration during the
past few years looking to the removal
of the Atchison foundry to Topeka and
the rumors have been revived in To-
peka- Santa F'e officials decline to
either affirm or deny the rumOrS.
The rumor current in Topeka was
to the effect that the plant would cost
$15O,000 and that several hundred
men would be given employment. 1t
was said the foundry would manufac-
ture all the car wheels used by the
Santa Fe railroad and that the car
wheel foundry at Fort Madison will
be closed by the Santa Fe.

IS A TOTAL WRECK.
Steamer DrumeIzier Finally Aban-
dOned by Her Crew.

New York, Dec. 30.-With her sig
nails of distress and her half-masted
ensign still flying. the steamer Drum
eIzier was abandoned as a total wreck
by her captain and a dozen officers
and crew, who were taken off the
craft and landed on Oak island by
the crew of the Fire island and Oak
island life saving station. The rescue
of the men on the Drumelzier was
hazardous in the extreme and was at
tended by many thrilling incidents.
The Drumelzier was a total loss,
although it is believed part of her
cargo can be saved if the weather
holds good, as the hull is firmly i'm
bedded in the sand.
