CHIPS CURE.
The Boys Capture q Doctor with
Telling Results.

Every now and then a horseman,
broad-hatted and be-weaponed, with
jangling Mexican spurs and leather
"chap" leggings, dismounted, tied his
''cayuse" pony to the gnawed rack,
and joined the group of cowboys loung-
ing IN TIE shade of Ashburn's post
Office. With each conner the first ques-
ton was:
"How's Chip?'
"No BETTER" Old Man Ashburn re-
piled each time.
''LOoks TO me like that thar was a
mighty heavy load to put onto a child
like Chip" said Santa Fe, the cowboy
with the gaudy Mexican sash about
his waist. "A load Nv pain an misery
big enough to break man down, an

yuse an got her throwed."
"Nur me-" cried a cowboy chorus.
At the sound of faint call Old Man
Ashburn FASTENED within the building.
Presently he appeared, dragging care
fully behind him a splint-bottomed
rocking-chair, in which reclined the
wasted form of little Chip, Ashburn's
crippled daughter.
At sight of her the impulsive cow
boys waved their broad hats and went
through the motions of shouting lusti-
ly. But very little sound came from
their distended mouths.
Hello. boys!" the little cripple sa-
luted. weakly. Il jest couldn't stay
in there any longer when heard you
all talking. Pa didn't want me to

''She lowed" interrupted Ashburn,
''that she'd come out yere if she'd to

Even the slight exertion attendant
upon the short trip from the little
bedroom to the door seemed almost
too much for Chips enfeebled frame.
Her face grew paler. and she leaned
YEARLY back in the old rocking-chair.

DR.. Bristow had made no idle boast
when he spoke of his professional
skill. AND Ill of that skill was called
into action to preserve unsna2Pcd the
chord that bound poor little suffering
Chip to life. When the operation was
over and the crisis past, the great ply
stefan tottered through the door and
fell fainting into Posy's arms.

opened his eyes.
As if moved by q common impulse,
the cowboys mounted their cayuses
and galloped of across the prairie at
whirlwind speed. Two miles away
they halted. and gave vent to their re-
joicing in yells both long and loud
A month later, when little Chip was
able to hop about quite smartly ON her
crutches, DR.. Bristow asked Of Pesy,
of whom he seemed to stand in dread

will become an enormous system, reaching from

Official figures show that the roads which haul
grain TO 81. Louis and Chicago from Missouri
river points handled g. 1913 less carloads than in
1884. and 10. All less than in 1886. The cause
for this decrease the partial failure of grain

west of the Missouri river.

drawn its guarantees that the Chicago Burng

The All-Night Dance in Which "Ole Virginia

writer in the American Magazine gives a
very felicitous description Of dancing party in

the universal custom.
Old and young join in the dancing which is
only suspended for the hearty supper at mid
night. and the sweet supper as it is called, of
cakes, Jellles and tartS, which is furnished Just
before daybreak.
AS the sun rises the visitors mount their
horses and start their homeward journey,
perhaps of many hours duration. 1t seems like
paying a severe penalty for a few hours enjoy
ment, but these tough. hardy settlers do not
wilt physically as easily as our modern hot
house society plants.
In the log-cabin days of the early settle RS in
the Northern States. the all-night dance a
common feature of social life. and old and young,
for miles around, were participants They

because they found medicine for their simple
ailments in natures remedies, the roots and
herbs of nearby fields and forests. which cured

The people of to-day might be more rugged
and enjoy life better if they would have recourse
TO natures remedies instead of mineral drugs.
With purpose of giving them q chance to try

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Illegally OF Rebates.

CHICAGO, JAM pa very important decision
was rendered yesterday by Judge Gresham N
the Central Iowa railroad foreclosure case. A
year or two ago firm of extensive grain shippers
made contract in Iowa with the Central Iowa
railroad for certain rebates on their shipments.
When the foreclosure proceedings were begun
they had a claim OF some So. 600 for such rebates,
and fled an intervening petition to have the re-
eeiver Of the road directed TO pay 1T out Oh the
proceeds OF sale and as against the mort
gagees. The Judge refused TO allow IL, on the
ground that tine statutes of Illinois proniniteo
discrimination by railroads in this or any otner
way. Though the contract was made IN iowa.
il was to be enforced in Illinois, and was illegal
under the law no matter where made Al
though the case was expressly based on LIMOS
law. yet it seems the principle or TIE hieeaity
of rebates can be sustained under the common
law irrespective of statutory provisions AS
far as known this question has never been de-
eided before
Regarding the statement that the Indiana,
BLOOMINGTON & Western and the Cleveland,
Sandusky e. Cincinnati consolidation scheme is
off, General Manager Henderson says there is
no truth in the report. so far as he knows; yet
he admits that it has this foundation: that the
roads were to be consolidated Jan. 25. and they
have not been, and that some OF the engines
which belonged TO the c., S. e. c. road have
been sent to the shops on that division for re-
pairs. AS stated in the Journal several days
ago. officials of the c., S. & G. road, who were
in the city after the inspection Of the l.. 3. 81
w. system, intimafed that there were some i'm
portaut N alters settle before the consolidation
would be carried out. Those best posted ex-
press the opinion that the l.. b. & w. proper
can do better without the c., 5. a. c. DIVISION
than the latter can without the l., b. 81 w.

Man and Woman Arrested

Charles Stewart. of Sumner town

Clark's husband arrested last Thurs
day and have been in the custody of
Sheriff Mcclure since that time.
They VIII have their preliminary ex-
animation before J.. L. HAYS, j. p,

a wife and one child and Mrs. Clark
has a husband having been married
but few months ago. We have not
learned the exact charge made but
the complaint having been filed by
the WOman's husband against her and
a married man the accusation may be
inferred. Such cases are sad ones
and it is to be hoped the defendants
may be able to establish their limo
cence. No arrests Of that sort. where
the happiness and good name Of limo
cent mothers and children are invOlv-
ed, should be made unless the proof
IS very clear.
