part of certain of our city and county
oficiaIs to refuse to enforce certain
of our laws and accept bribes from
criminals for allowing them the priv

and
whereas, The practice has led to
the widespread violation of law
among our people until it can no
longer be tolerated; therefore, be it

City, Kansas.

C1Iys hdnSaS.
Kansas City, Kan, July 24.-Samuel
NovaSal, a Croatian, % years old, who
had lived in this country six years, was
shot and killed by an unknown man
Sunday while walking on the street
with a friend, Michael Son1in, also a
Croatian. The two men had been at
tending wedding ceremony and had
escorted Miss Mamie Walsh and Miss
Josie Walsh, sisters, from 500 North
James street, where the wedding took
avenue. They had Just left the young
women and walked half a. block east
when the shooting took place. The
shooting is a mystery.
The shooting took place in front Of
the home of George Grubel. 405 Wash
ington avenue, at about o'clock.
When the shot that killed Novasal was
fired Somin ran away. Several per-
sons living in the neighborhood heard
the shot and Mr.. Grubel notified the
police. Soon after the police arrived
Somin returned with Joseph ForbuS of
339 Ann avenue, with whom NovaSal
had been living. He told the police
that he had run away because he was
frightened, and gave them the follow
ing story of the killing:

RAILROAD NEWS.
Fast Time to Be Made Between
Chicago and New York.
Eighteen Hour Trains May Be
Surpassed
BY RAPID TRANSIT.
Ten Hour Schedule a Thing of
Possibility.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

According to Electricity of New York
it may soon be possible to cover the dis
tance between Chicago and New York,
a distance of 1000 miles, in about IL
hours or in other words between the
time for breakfast and dinner. This
rate of speed is proposed to be accom-
plished by means of electric rapid tram
sit.
From New York to Chicago was
once considered serious journey" says
Electricity. In provincial days dangers
beset the traveller on every side. Days
were consumed in covering the distance.
Now it is but a question of hours Shall
it be called the ultimate triumph of
steam or shall we inquire as to what
this ultimate triumph must be? The
distance is roughly 1000 miles between
New York and Chicago. About 20
hours cut down to a. was the customry
limit of time in covering it. A speed
of 40 miles an hour averaged up along
the route. This during the Columbian
exposition, was considered splendid rail-
roading. Since then the locomotive has
undergone great changes. The we'll
fortified roadbed, connecting that city
and ours, invited a higher speed. A so
mile an hour rate then presented the
average. The latest reports show ca
pacity on the part of the PennsyiVanla
and New York Central to regularly op-
crate an 1S-hour train. This means an
average speed of about 55 miles an hour.
Now comes the question again. Is this
the ultimate triumph? We think not
The locomotive can spin along much
faster than this. Speed must be made
subservient to the conditions Of the
road-whether it is clear or not, wheth-
er it can stand the rapid pounding OF
this great engine or whether 1t IS Sa1e
to hurry forward SO impetuously."
Electricity adds that electric trac-
ton has set new standard, and that
the New York Central will use cleo
tric locomotives of 1000 horse power.
THESE have been tested and tried and
are capable of ninety miles an hour.
or even better. On safe roadbed
amply guarded, an electric locomotive
could now make the trip between
Americas two greatest cities in a trifie
over eleven hours. So who can say
that within very few years eleven
hours or even ten hours. may not be
the regular schedule on some road
now using steam locomotives?

to go. There was yet to come the most
impressive incident of the scene. Com
mander Young, of the BENNINGTON
stepped out from the group of officers
at the head of the trench and, raising
his hand commanded instant attention
In q deep, grun voice-the voice of &
typical sailor-he said:
Captain Scott, commander of Fort
Rosecrans, and his successors:
ST commit to your tender care the
bodies of our unfortunate shipmates
and patriotic dead. May their graves
lection. May there rise above this,
their last resting place, marble slabs to
mark the place as sacred to the ma
tion's care and may the morning sun
ever kiss the green sod above their
dust, emblematic of our love and af-
fection."
"I accept the sacred trust of the
honored dead" replied Captain Scott.
There was many a furtive tear
brushed from moistened eyes by this
simple but impressive scene.
Attention." came the command in
sharp tones from the big sergeant in
command of the artillery company.
There was rapid, concerted move
ment along the double file of soldiers
at the head of the grave. Another
command and every gun was pointed
over the long rows of caskets. In
crashed noisily. Out of the ranks
stepped a bugler, and, with impressive
deliberation, the solemn, Quavering
notes of the last bugle call over the
dead sounded far out over the bay,
waking the echoes far down among
the rugged rocks below.
The crowd turned and walked away
The naval reserve boys cast their flow
ers upon the coffins. Thus they buried
the Bennington'S dead.

V. C. Scott O'Connor in his book, The

that It completely fills up the mouth
