ROBBING THE COMPANY. Four Leavenworth. Electric Car Con ductors ".Laid Of" Leavenworth, Aug. 13. There was a shaking up of the conductors of the electric line Tuesday morning and four of them were laid off. Those given the "mit" were the Fifth avenue line col lectors.

They broke out a little piece of glass in the front and when they had a good run they would use a nail to turn the numbers back. For instance, if they had taken in 90 fares it was no trouble to turn it back to 70. It is said that this game has been in progress for some time and that it was first found out by one of the young men boasting that he made $9 on the Fourth of July. FIRE AT BTJRLINGAME.

A Lake Shore Train Dashes Into a Hole Killing Engineer and Fireman. Otis, Ind., Aug. 13. A bad wreck oc curred on the Lake Shore road at 4 o'clock this morning, one-half mile east of this point. The east bound special mail train from Chicago, consisting of an engine, two postal cars, baggage car, one day coach and a Wagner sleeper, ran into a washout 70 feet long and 30 feet deep and the entire train with the exception of the day coach and sleeper plunged into the big hols, and Engineer James Griffin and Fireman Michael Roache were almost instantly killed. The day coach partially toppled over into the abyss, but one end remaining on the track and being held by the coupling to the sleeper, which did not leave the rails. The passengers in the day coach es caped by simply going through the sleeper and none of them received in juries. The mail clerks and trainmen also escaped injury. A cloudburst and immense flood of water caused the washout and scooped out the great hole in the earth at a cul vert directly beneath the tracks. En gineer Griffin evidently had no warn ing of the washout whatever, as he in quired a few moments before he died what caused the wreck. Both of the engineer's legs were completely sever ed from his body. All Lake Shore trains are being sent via Michigan City and Chesterton and thence over the Michigan Central tracks so that the delay to traffic will not be great. The Monon road has an 80 foot wash out a mile south of this place and a milldam on the north side of the road has Just burst and it looks as if the Monon bridge on the north side will go down.

Taking a course of Ayer's Pills the system is set in good working order and a man begins to feel that life is worth living. He who has become the gradual prey of constipation, does not realize the friction under which he labors, until the burden is lifted from him. Then his mountains sink into mole hills, his moroseness gives place to jollity, he is a happy man again. If life does not seem worth living to you, you may take a very different view of it after taking Avar's Cathartic Pills. AT LOUISVILLE. Have Had Days of Touring Now Come Races.

The following address which states the object and purposes of the organ ization was issued: "To the surviving soldiers and sailors in Kansas who served in the union ar my and navy during the war of the re bellion: Comrades, your country is again in peril. Dangerous combina tions again threaten the integrity of the government. Misguided and un scrupulous men conspire to bring dis honor and ruin upon this nation once saved by your valor. The men who once answered the call to put down re bellion and save the union have lost none of their love for the country and the devotion for the flag they fought to uphold, and they see in the present situation an attempt to tarnish the good name of the republic and break down its most cherished institutions. The stars and stripes symbolize, to those who offered their lives in its de fense, a country united and powerful, respected at home, honored the world over for its power, its Justice and still more for integrity, honesty and fair dealing. "Comrades, you believe in liberty un der the law, in public order, in the maintenance of our courts of justice, and in national honor and in good faith. You are unalterably opposed to the red flag of anarchy and mob rule. We believe that you resent with earn estness all attacks upon the executive and judicial departments of our gov ernment and commend all measures which vindicate the supremacy of the law and restore public order whenever endangered. "Many of our great comrades have been mustered out. Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, Logan, McClellan, Hancock, Biirnside, Meade, Garfield, Butler, McPherson, Slocum, Farragut and Porter, and with them more than one million of enlisted men, through whose valor, privation and he roic devotion to duty the final victory was made possible, have answered the 1st roll call upon earth and are at rj.st. "Were all these living they would be united with us in this crisis as they were in the days of that holy struggle for the nation's life and its sacred homes. It remains for us, their com rades, to guard the good work they up held while living and to preserve all they helped us gain for our country. "We feel that the country is again in the presence of a great danger and that it is the duty of the men who saved it before to rally to its defense now. Therefore, we urge you to form your selves into an association to be known as 'The Union Veterans' Patriotic Lea gue ot Kansas,' and do all in your pow er as individuals and members of the league to secure the triumph of th right. Plans for organization will be furnished from this office. We ask you to unite without reference to your past party affiliations and come together in non-partisan associations as you did in those other days. The sons of the fath ers who followed the flag from 1SC1 to 1865 should defend the blessings secured to them by the services, the sufferings and the valor of their sires. Therefore, we invite all Sons of Veteran sires to unite with us in this campaign against national dishonor. "Organizations similar to this are be ing formed throughout the states of the union, and there is a general movement among our comrades everywhere to once more touch elbow to elbow in a battle by the ballot for what was at such a great sacrifice won by the sword. A. W. Smith, president; O. H. Ooulter, secretary. The next regular meeting of this lea gue will be held in Topeka, Septem ber 28. PAY PREMIUMS ON GOLD.
