Wood carving is one Of the newest femi-

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor
tation Of passengers or property than it
charges for like and contemDoraneou
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be we'll patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit TO
epumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the test
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to St Louis (by IS niles as
well as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
One Man Escaped. and He Blew His Brains

One Man Escaped. and He Blew His Brains
Out 70 Avoid Capture.
In his lorx service as Indian agent DR.. Nc
Gillicuddy learned from the Sioux many in
teresting facts about the Custer massacre
For years after that terrible affair the par
ticipants in it were very 10th TO talk of it TO
white men, but as tho agent gradually gained
their confidence they told him, little by ittLe.
the whole story Sitting Bull had 5000 var
riors on that occasion That is said to have
been the largest force OF Indians ever eneoun
tered by American troops In a single engage
ment Custer had over 500 cavalry and some
Crow scouts He divided his force about
equally and sent Mai Reno with one body 10
attack the lower end OF the Indian village,
while he charged at the upper end The
Sioux all agree In their statements TO DR.. Nc
Gillicuddy that their surprise was complete
They were engaged IN repeling Reno at oae
end, when the bugles at the other end gav,
them their tirst warming Of CusterN presence
They were disconcerted, and were on the
point Of giving way for general retreat
when Reno, to their astonishment drew OF
This permitted them to turn their whole at
tentisn b Custer, '.the white chief with the
yellow hair
They told how ahey managed 10 make the
massacre complete The ground wns broken
and Custer wns unable 70 handle his men in
cavalry formation He disInounted them
leaving every fourth man to hoad the horses
The Indians threw themselves first on the
men with the horses, shot them down and
stampeded the horses They did this, they
said, because they knew that the bulk Of the
ammunition which the soldiers carried was
ON the horses This done, the rest was easy.
IL wus only tho question o2 few minutes TIL
the cartridges In the beltsof the soldiers gave
out, and then there was no more ammunition.
II see, said DR. McGillicuddy, that every

massacre You can always put hun down a.
an impostor. There was one man who might
have escaped He was a young surgeon
named Lord His body was NOT found unit
long afterwards, and it was at FIRST supposed
he was a captive The Indians told me q
strange story about Lords death. They said
that when he saw how things were going he
started of Several young bucks followed
him, but he had a good horse and kept ahead

the chase and intending TO let Lord escape
