Killed By the Cars. Early this morning the man­

gled and frozen remains of a farm­er by the name of O'Banion were found alongside the N-W. right of way, about three-quarters of a mile east of Logan. The remains were taken to Woodbine, where the coroner held an inquest over the body today. At the inquest, parties testified that O'Banion, who resided on a farm a short dis­tance northwest of Woodbine, was called to Logan yesterday to rec­tify a bill he had before the board of supervisors. He finished his business in tbe afternoon and from about 6 unt:l 7:30 p. m. he was seen to be frequenting a sa­loon in Logan. Shortly after 7.30 he disappeared and nothing was heard of him until his remains were identified this morning.

It is the supposition that he started home early in the evening, walking along the N. W. tracks, and owing to his temulent condi­tion he went to sleep on the tracks and, owing to his stupor was un­able to get out of harmB way when the train approached, and he was ground under the wheels of the train, horribly mangling one of his legs. When found this morn­ing the body was frozen stiff, therefore it is thought he was in­jured by a passing freight train early laBt night, but whether he was killed by the train or was frozen to death afterwards, will remain an unsolved mystery.

He was a brother of C. O'Banion of this city.

ROUND TRIP TO MANILA.

What It Costs and tho Quick­est Way to Go There.

"I want to go to Minila," said the tall man with the gray beard "I want to go first class and by the quickest route. How much will the trip cost me?" The tourist agent grabbed up a handful of papers, run them over quickly, and after a minute or BO said:

"The only way to get to Manila is by way of Hongkong. The fare to Hongkong from New York in $303.50 in American money. From Hongkong to Manila, a journey of three days or a little more, the cost of transportation is $75 iD Mexican money. You have the choice of half a dozen railway routes across the continent to Pacific coast, and this journey can be made in five days if necessary. From the west coast there is -choice of two routes to Honek-jnS

Northwestern Starts Seventy Minutes Behind the Bur­

lington. CHICAGO, 111., JaD. 3.—Added

interest in the second night's run from Chicago to Omaha results this evening from the Lake Shore fast mail from the east arriving at 10 o'clock, one hour and thirty minutes late. The Burlington mail departed on time at 9:30, not waiting for the belated eastern mail, but the Northwestern waited until 10:40 p. m. before it depart ud thus securing all the mail from the Lake Shore train.

Northwestern oiaeuils declui-f^ tlieir train will reach Omaha at 8:15 a. m., its schedule time rnak-iug up the forty minutes delay necessitated at this end. If ifc does so, the results will be of the re­cord-breaking variety.

Every fast mail record, in elud­ing the New York'Central's record for a mile in thirty-two seconds, or at the rate of 112.5 miles per hour, made in 1S93, was broken on the trip of the Northwestern.— World Herald.

The sanguine expectations of the Northwestern officials were shattered when their three yellow cars hauled by.engine number 593 with engineer Lou Shell at the throttle dashed into the Couucil Bluffs depot at S:lo this morning, thirty eight minutes belli ud tho scheduled time. Tho train made a record smashing run on tho west division, but on the eastern divi­sion the fatal minutoB piled up against the company owing to the engine pulling the train failing to steam readily. Several precious minutes were lost between Clin­ton and Boone, but after the belat­ed cars were given into the hands of the west end crews theu they flew across western Iowa at an unprecedented speed.

The total mileage between Car­roll and this city is a fraction over seventy miles; this stretch in­cludes a complete stop at Arion crossing which alone consumed four minutes, was made iu sixty-eight minutes, the train arriving here at 8:28, making the transfer • >f all express and mail matter in the pbenominal time of two min­utes, : pulling out for Council Bluffs at exactly 8:30, making tho run to Honey Creek a distance (.f nine miles in eight minutes and covering the distance between this city and the U. P. transfer in Council Bluffs, which is at least twenty three miles, iu eighteen minutes.
