WANT A UNION DEPOT.
Kansas City, Kan, Asks Railway
Board For One.

Complaint was filed before the state
board of railroad commissioners late
Monday afternoon by the mayor and
council of Kansas City, Kan, askin g
that the railroad companies entering
that town be required to erect union
passenger depot in Kansas City, kan,
land establish all necessary sidetracks,
tswitches, and terminal facilities for
such union station.
I The complaint is signed by Mayor
ID. E. Cornell, ]. w. West, president of
the council; H. L. Alden, city counsel
lor, and G. F. Hutchings, of counsel.
The railroads against which the
proceeding is directed are the Union
Pacific, Rock Island, Santa Fe, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Kansas City Northwest
ern and Chicago Great Western.
On July %, the city council of Kan
sas City, Kan, passed a resolution in
structing the city counsellor to bring
the action in the name of the city.
The complaint merely sets forth the
identity of the complainants and the
defendants, quotes the resolution
adopted by the city council, and asks
that the board of railroad commits
sioners set the time for a hearing of
the evidence and arguments to be pre-
sented in support of the contention
that the railroad companies should be
required to establish a union depot
for Kansas City, Kan.
This action on the part of Kansas
City, Kan. is due to the fact that the
railroad companies have decided to
locate their Kansas City, Mo-, union
depot at Twenty-second and Grand
avenue, instead of down in the bot
toms. AS long as the union depot was
in the bottoms, it was as close to Kan
sas City. Kan. as 1t was to Kansas
City. Mo-, and the Kansas people had
no objection to going across the line,
and getting along without any depot
on the Kansas side. Now that the
chances are that the depot will be
moved to Twenty-second and Grand,
the Kansas City, Kan, people think
they are entitled to union depot of
their own.

NOTED NEVADA WRITER DEAD
Arthur McEwen Dies from An
Attack of Heart Failure in
the West Indies

Arthur McEwen, one of the best
known and most noted writers connect.
ed with the press of the West and EasI
died suddenly on May 1 at Hamilton
Bermuda, one Of the islands of the
West Indies. Heart failure was the
cause of death. Mr.. McEwen went tc
Bermuda 10 days ago on a trip for his
health.
Deceased came to California in the
early '70's and thence to Nevada.
While he was a contributor to severaI
newspapers in this State after his ar
rival in Sageland, his first editorial
work really began when he assumed
the editorship of the Eureka Republi'
can. a newspaper published here in
1878. The ability he displayed while
conducting that newspaper soon
brought him to the front ranks of jour
nalism in this State. And in those
days there were some able writer's
Joe Goodman, Rollin M. Daggett,
Dennis Mccarthy. Charley Goodwin,
Dan de guile, Fred Hart. George Gas.

Dennis-being among the number.
After leaving Eureka he went to
Virginia City. and in 1879 he entered
the employ of Dennis Mccarthy as
editor. in. chief of the Chronicle of that
o,s- u,a aasoo;atao n that fourual at
that time were Edward Colnon and
Sam Davis.
After leaving there he removed to
San Francisco, where he wrote weekly
letters for several newspapers. He
subsequently, published a newspaper OF
his own in that city, which be named
"McEwen's Letter." A short time
after this journal suspended publica.
ton he became q writer for the San
Francisco Examiner. About 10 years
ago he took up his residence in New
York City and wrote for the Hearst
newspapers. About a year ago he was
offered a salary of $15. 900 a year to
Join the New York American editorial
staff as a free lance, which position he
held at the time Of his death.

O RECOGNIZED
Secretary of States Office Ignores
the State Board Of Publicity

From the following extract taken from
the Carson Appeal it would appear
Secretary OF State Douglass will most
likely be the promoter of a lawsuit. If
the Secretary of State refused to ac-
cede to the demands mentioned in the
following article on legal grounds no
fault can be found with him; but If he
did it simply because he and the
Chairman Of the State Board Of Public
ity are not friendly TO each other, he is
guilty Of gross misconduct and should
be should shown up. 10 order that our
readers may fully understand the situa-
ton regarding the matter in the ques-
ton the statement made by the Appeal
is given in full:
The Chairman Of the State Board of
Publicity applied to the Secretary OF
States Office for a ream of letter head
paper on which to print the letter
heads of the commission. He was in.
formed hat the Secretary Of States
Office did not recognize the State Board
of Publicity. No room has been pro-
vided for the commission by the
Capital Commissioners, probably for
the same reason. This state of affairs
will have to prevail until the end OF
the month when the Chairman will
make a claim for his salary and ex-
penses aud on the refusal of the State
to settle will bring suit and take the
matter to the Supreme Court. Mean
while the work of advertising the
resources of Nevada will 90 on and the
temporary headquarters of the COM
mission will be at the Office of the
Daily Appeal until the Supreme
Courts decision on the subject. as the
