WHAT wAMEGO FOLKS DID
10 BUILD A FOUNTAIN.

Abilene has long talked about q
fountain In the Union Pacific park
but Is mighty slow about II. Wa
mego seems to have us bested and
has a beautiful fountain in its city
park.
The pride Of the citizens of Wa
mego is their city park. It was one
of the initial improvements begun
some time ago during campaign Of
civic improvement. The park site,
when purchased by the city council
was bare of trees. Blue grass was its
only asset. Now the plot OF twenty
acres is covered with all the varieties
OF shade trees. with shrubs, flower
beds and plants. Threading the
heavy growth of blue grass are Gin
der walks and driveways. An ath-
letic field, an artificial lake, beau
tiful bandstand, and unique cleo
tric fountain dot the square.
Each Improvement has been made
through the interest and labor Of
private citizens cooperating with the
city government. First came the
planting of the trees and shrubs,
then the digging of the lake. Later
the grandstand was erected and the
baseball diamond and football and
basketball fields marked off. Re-
Gently a band stand, one of the
most artistic in that part of the
state, was completed. Only week
ago was 1t dedicated by the Royal
Italian Guards band.
The latest Improvement however,
is the electric fountain. 1t Is esti-
mated the fountain cost $4,000. Pri-
vate donations cut the cost to the
city to about half that amount. The
fountain consists of three basins Of
diminishing size, pyramidically ar
ranged. Each Of the basins Is built
OF rough hewn flint rocks of ancient
volcanic formation, gathered from the
hills surrounding the Kaw valley in
which Wamego rests. The first ba-
sin is twenty-five feet in diameter.
The second is twelve feet in diam
eter and the third six feet.
Rising from the middle Of the
smallest basin Is a column upon
which rests a bronze ola stork, ,Ypt
on the rim of the basin rise four
other columns, all built Of nugget
size colored flint rocks. sHrmount-
ing these is a circular coping. The
fountain is lighted by many small
electric lamps and about each play
small streams of water.

SAVED FIlE FROM
DEATH IN TUNNEL
Automatic Brakes Stopped Train
With Two Engines.
CREW OVERCOME BY GAS FUMES
fireman on Northern Pacific "PusheF'
Proves Himself Hero, and Sue

Tacoma, wash, Aug. 24.-Faint and
dizzy from the fumes OF coal gas IN
the inky blackness Of Stampede tun-
mel. John Denise, fireman on the
Northern Pacific railroad, kept his
head. husbanded his strength and by
sheer grit saved ave lives.
Denise was fireman on "pusher,"
helping shove heavy freight train
through the tunnel. Midway the ail
hose broke, the brakes set automatic-
ally and the train came to staudstill.
Searching for the break, the conductor
and brakeman were stupehed by gas
from the forward end and fell.
None to Help.
Half dead, the brakeman crawled
back to the rear end with word for
Denise. The latter ran 20 car lengths
to where the conductor lay. He was
too weak to carry the conductor, but
he dragged him back to the cab. There
he found his engineer stupefied and
the brakeman helpless.
1t was beyond his strength to iift
the conductor to the cab, so he left
him lying on the floor Of the tunnel,
cut out the "pusher," and, with the en-
gineer and brakeman helpless in the
cab, shot for the west portal Of the
tunnel.
Outside he found four Italian Sec
ton hands with a handcar. They
helped him lift out the engineer and
brakeman, and then he drafted them
for another plunge into the gas filed
tunnel.
Engine Crew Overcome.
On the first trip they brought out
the conductor, still breathing. Back
they went again, reaching the forward
engine, where fireman and engineer
were both overcome. This time
Denise cut out the forward engine and
raced for the eastern portal.
There they met passenger train NO.
&, stalled by the block signals. Con-
ductor O'toole turned his train into an
emergency hospital and brought
Denise and the 1--WE men he had saved
back to the Northern Pacific hospital
in Tacoma, where they arrived early
in the morning. All will recover.
