Engines Thrown Into Ditches by Missouri Pacific IN A VAIN EFFORT To Stop the Band of Train Stealers. They Bnild Around the Obstruc tions and Move On. SIX ENGINES DITCHED In Different Places All to So Aviil. Balie Wasrarener Leaves Atchi son on a Special. Pueblo, Col., May 9. At 6:30 last evening as an engine of the Rio Grande was . taking coal here it was suddenly surrounded by fifteen of the common weal army under Gen. Sanders of Cripple Creek. They took the engineer and ran the locomotive down to the Missouri Pa cific yards, where were six coal cars that had been left there a short time before. The whole band boarded these cars, and attaching a Iiio Grande engine started for the east at a lively gait. The superintendent immediately had an engine anc a freight car overturned at Olney in a cut. News was received this morning that the Coxey industrials had succeeded in gottiug around the obstruction near Olney and hud 'resumed their journey eastward about 3:30 a. m. Superintendent Derby, when notified by wire that the train seizers were again in motion, ordered four engines wiiiclt had been awaiting developments at Ar lington, -75 miles from here, to go east rapidly. He also ordered another loco motive to be ditched near Haskell which is beyond Arlington. Not a traiu except the stolen one is now running on tne Missouri Pacific in Colorado. The tank at Ordway, ten miles beyond Olney, has been emptied and the water, for the locomotive can be secured only from wells. It is thought likely that the engine will run dry before the new ob struction is reached. No little anxiety was felt when it was learned that the track around the engine was completed, lest the industrials should cut the tele graph wires, but the train went through without any molestations of the wires. It will be almost impossible to pursue the army from this direction, since to build their track around the ditched en gine they have taken up 300 or 400 feet of rails and ties. United States Marshal Jones in Den ver has been advised of the interference with the movement of the mail and coun sel for the Missouri Pacific in Denver has been instructed to apply to the fed eral court for an injunction to prevent further interference by Sanders and his men with the operation of the road. l)i:ched More Engine. The Coxeyites' stolen train encountered another obstacle near Arlington, eighty miles east of this city, where four en gines were ditched by order of Superin tendent Derby. The industrials are now laying track around this obstruction. I Sheriff Moses has been trying all the morning to raise a posse to capture San ders and his army, but so far has not been able to secure more than forty men. The railroad authorities here are in com munication with Judge Hallett at Den ver in regard to securing federal aid. A telegram was received here this afternoon saying that the industrials are stalled at Haswell, twelve miles east of Arlington by four engines ditched in a cut. At latest accounts they were tearing up and relaying track. At Ordway the water in their engine gave out and they obtained a supply from a well, carrying it in their dinner pails and coffee cups. 2 p. m. Sanders' industrials have got beyond the Haswell wreck and are now going east. Another engine has been ditched at Diston, 119 miles from Pueblo. 3 p. m. Sanders' traiu is reported to have reached Eads, the last station west of Diston where another engine has been ditched. Diston is 30 miles west of the state line. Engines were ditched at Olney, Arlington, Haswell- and Diston. Making; Haste Slowly. Denver, May 9. The Missouri Pacific railroad company applied to United States Marshal Jones today to capture the Coxeyites, who seized a train at Pfceblo. The marshal was in doubt as to whether he had any right to act and asked Judge Hall to advise him. The judge has taken the matter under con sideration. Will Take No Action. Destib, May a Judge Hallett this afternoon advised Marshal Jones to take no action in regard to the stolen train. WkSi" Leaves Atchison. Atchison, Kas., May 9. B. P. Wag goner, general attorney Missouri Pacific, left here by special train this afternoon to meet the Colorado branch of the com monweal army with the stolen train. He expects United State Marshal Neely and 200 deputies to accompany him from Topeka. Waggener has instructions from the general manager to arrest every man in the commonweal army. The writer of the above appears to have been in ignorance of the fact that Marshal Neely is at Ft. Scott and all other officers of the court. No deputy marshals left here today. .WHAT THE GOTEBXOE SAID. Which Wasn't Mucll of Anything- Except - "Let Them Come. Governor Lewelling said "Let them iCome," when he was informed today of the approach of General Sanders and his commonweal army to the Kansas line on the Missouri Pacific The- governor did not say what he would do, but said he supposed the Mis souri Pacific officials waut the United States marshals to arrest the men for trespass. Attorney General Little said he did not understand how the commonwealers can be arrested by the United States, as the Missouri Pacific is not in the hands of a f eceiver and as the company is ditching ts own engines, the men can hardly be aia io oe responsible for tne delay of nitea States mails. A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE. lly's Armada Sails From Dei Moines in Etis Flat bouts. I Des Moines, May 9. The Kelly army float got under way today and at noon l)id good-bye to Des Moines, the boats saluting altogether during the good-bye cheers. .

The Mother of the Woman Suf frasre Movement At tho Home of Mr. John R. Mill vane. LONG TALK WITH HER. Full of Hope For Equal Suffrage in Kansas. Wants a Plank in Both Party Platforms. Susan B. Anthony, the leader of the woman suffrage movement, arrived ia Topeka this afternoon. A Journal re porter saw her just after she had finish ed dinner at the home of Mrs. John li. Mulvane, where she is an honored guest. She is just as enthusiastic as she was when she startled the country with her other strange doctrice . Sho ia!ks of woman suffrage and of that only. , &.,, tm .- -r " SUSAN B. ANTHONY. Speaking of an interviewer in St. Louis, who said "her eyes are just as bright as ever," she said: "Pshaw, that is all nonsense, they never were bright;" but, never ttieless, ALiss Anthony's in tellectual face is illuminated by expres sive orbs which brighten constantly as she talks. She still wears her hair brushed neatly back from her forehead and gathered iu rolls behind her ears in the fashion of twenty years ago. Her voice is strong but pleas. lnii and she speaks with emphasis, using ner hands Jfiicly Tor gesturing oven in common con versation. "The sole aim of the woman suffrag ists is to obtain the constitutional rignt to vote. They are not Democrats, lie publicans, Populists or Prohobitiouists." This is the fundamental principle of the present woman's suffrage i campaign iu Kansas as enunciated by Susan B. An thony this afternoon to a State Journal reporter. "The ' best interests of woman suf frage demand that they should work not as Kepublicans or Democrats or Popu lists, but as suffragists. "Paul said "I know nothing but Christ and him crucified' and it must be the same with woman, she must know only woraan suffrage. "Many party leaders have said let us submit the question at the ballot box but preserve a silence in our platforms. Now that is just what we don't want. Don't you see that if . neither party has a plank - in their platform that will silence their stump speakers on the question. We don't expect any thing from the Democrats, they have al ways fought us, but we will look after the leaders in the two dominant parties in Kansas Republicans and Populists. Want the Bask and File. "We do not get the rank and file of the voters out to our meetings. They think women are sentimental, that their opin ions don't count and that they waste their time when they listen to the women. The most intellectual men and women do attend our meet ings we have stirred up the cream so to speak, . but now we want to get to the common voter and we cannot reach him unless there are planks in the party platforms. Such a plank will silence our enemies and loosen the tongues of our friends. Our enemies will not dare to oppose the measure if it is a part of their' platform and our friends will be given full rein in our support. "That is what I am here for," continued Miss Anthony, "and the adoption of such planks is what I hope to accomplish. We will hold a hundred meet ings in the state and next week we begin with the five to be held in the northern part of the state. I have just come from Leavenworth where we held two mass meetings and I have never seen the peo ple of Leavenworth so stirred. The meetings were remarkable for the large noted of intelligent men who attended them. "The prospect of the emancipation of woman was never aa bright as today," said Misa Anthony. "Primarily, I want to say that he object of our movement is not a reversal of the relations existing between the sexes, but only a radical re vision of them," she continued. "I want to elevate the home by making the wife a full partner in the establishment in stead of the slave and vassal that she now is. Under the present conditions women marry for a livelihood. The man who gets a wife because the poor thing needs somebody to support her certainly ought not to feel that he has any of the element of a Don Juan in his composi tion. But literate woman, give her the same opportunity as man to have her opinion counted, and see how quick the law of natural selection will assert itself and the divorce mills will go out of busi ness. , - Malt Combat Prejudice. "I have had to combat the strongest prejudice of our civilization in my wo man suffrage crusade. Once I got put into jail while battling for it in 2s ew York, and was fined $100 and costs by a justice of the United States supreme court. My friend Mrs. Minor had a sim ilar experience in St Louis. During those days people who did not know me thought I was a witch with horns. That has all passed now and I am accorded nearly the same privileges as men in my country. The first quarter century of my career was a stormy one so tempes tuous, in fact, that I have often asked myself how I have managed to retain that equable temperameut and sweet disposition with which God bus endowed womanhood. I did it through philosophy. When I started on this career 1 realized that the task 1 had assumed was a stupendous one, and I trained my mind to cool, philosophical reflection. I have been a profound stu dent of sociology, and what I have ac complished has been done by patient and persistent effort which few men could sustain. "I have had but one object before mo all my life. As noon as my mind began to unfold I saw the injustice of the sys tem which deprives woman of lho nat ural rights of the human btiug. I did not shrink from this like other women. I consecrated myself f Hie work of re forming this system. I have lived to sen what few reformers have been spared ti enjoy a realization in lare part of the) retormation which I inaugurated. I ex pect to live to see astill fuller lealiza tion. By tlio Itallot Only. "Of course, the ballot .i the only meiiii"? by which woman can hope to acquire her full rights. Give tier Uiis weapon and she will tight her own battle.-i. And tlm won't bo u tyrant, either. I know tho two stock arguments of tho enemy against my reform is the tyranuicui and emotional nature of women. 2s'o gieaier Slander was ever uttered. ij ;lu mother a tyrant? Does the widow, u i denly bereft and left with uhoiisetiil of children, without means of support, give way to her tears and let her offspring starve? There is no use to discus., ihe.e eccentricities attributed to womanhood. They are slanders, and that's all thore is to them." "But won't the ballot have a tendency to uusex woman?" the reporter venture I to inquire. "Nonsense!" exclaimed M?i Anthony. 'That's another stock argument of the en&my. It will only intensify the in stinct of sex. Every vvon.au has her ideal man one whom she loves for love's sake. As now oppressed, few wo men can afford to wait to meet their ideal, or their approximate. They are forced into marriage by the necessity of getting somebody to support them. Lib erate them, make them feel independent and self-respecting, and they will marry only the men they love. Ah to ISrecklnridaro. "What do you think of the Pollard Breckinridge verdict?" "Glorious!" cried Mis3 Anthony. "I had never hoped for anything better than u .hung jury. Ihe -result- or that trial shows the drift of public thought more clearly than has been shown "-y any occurrence of- the century. Even ten years ago such a verdict would have been impossible. It illustrates tho prog ress made by our crusade in the past decade. Here is the spectac.e of a rep resentative American jury giving a ver dict to a woman who had reached the age of consent, and when, at the time of submission, she knew perfectly well that the man could not right the wrong by marrying her, because he had a wife. It speaks plainer than any words I might utter. It means that we are fast coming to one standard of conduct alike for men and women. It means that the chastity of the male must be as unquestioned ai the chastity of the female. The press of the country reflected public opinion during the progress of that trial as it never did before. Not a newspaper in all this broad land tried to defend Breck inridge by quoting that trite and h ick neyed old excuse, 'The woman tempted him.'" "What sort of a wife does the woman suffragist make?" the reporter inquired, in an effort to change the discussion to another phase of the topic. "The finest in the world," came tho answer quick and positive. "Take for instance, the wife of Senator Warren of Wyoming. She is one of the most charm ing women at Washington, is a leader in society at the capital, and is acknowl edged by everybody as one of the in-Jdt wifely wives imaginable. And yet, but for the fact that her husband is in tho senate, Mrs. Warren would have accept ed the nomination for governor of Wyo ming at the last election." Four new cases of measles were re ported to the city health department th'. morning. DEATII OF J. WARD. He Passes Away After Buffering- From Ji 1 ooil Pulaonlng. Mr. J. Ward, one of the oldest settlers of Topeka, died at his home south of tho city at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon of blood poisoning. Mr. Ward for several years had a very badly diseased leg, but for a long timo refused to take the advice of his physi cians to have the leg amputated. About six weeks ago however,' he con sented to have the amputation perform ed, and went to Christ hospital, where his leg was amputated. The stump healed up all right, and he went home, but he had absorbed so much of the pus that blood poisoning set in, from which he died today. He has a family of grown up children, and one of his daughters married a sou of Senator Peffer. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made.
