a WICHITA MAN KILLED,
William Riley Fatally Injured While Trying
to Board Train.

Last night William Riley, who lived
many years in this city and who recently
made his home temporary at Red Rock,
Indian Territory, died yesterday morning
from injuries received the previous even
ing while making an effort to board a
train at Arkansas City. Mr.. Riley was
| section foreman of the Missouri Pacific
railway here until recently when he
moved to Red Rock to take the section
there. He was good man and was liked
by everybody who knew him. The Arkan-
sas City Traveller gives the details of the
accident as follows:
Yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Riley, of Red Rock, were in the city
They intended to return on No. 497, the
1870 morning passenger train, but were
prevented by bad accident which befell
Mr.. Riley. Mrs. Riley was on the train,
and, as it was starting up, her husband
attempted to get aboard from the east side
of the track. His foot slipped and he fell
under the coach. The wheels passed over
his right leg below the knee, severing" the
from the leg The train was stopped
and Mrs. Riley got off and went
TO the assistance of her husband,
who was carried into the freight depot.
DR. Dunning was called to attend Riley,
the summons he was at the injured mans
side. He found him in a very bad condi-
tion and he commenced to administer
stimuleuts TO arouse him but they did not
have any effect He gradually grew worse
and at $40 p. m, died. The arrangements
for the funeral had not been made last
evening but it was his request to be buried
in Catholic cemetery. Duff g. Oldroyd
took charge of the body and prepared it
for burial The deceased was about 80
years of age and was Santa Fe section
foreman at Red Rock.
A lady clerk in one of the Santa Fe
offices witnessed the accident. She saw
Riley attempt to step on the moving train
and then slip and fall. He rolled over
from the track and then rolled back, his
right leg falling beneath the wheels
The accident occurred just in front of
the train dispatcher's Office. 1t is reported
that Riley was drinking, which was proba-
bly, the cause of the accident.

From the Lawrence Journal.
A note is made of the fact that man
was held up'' in Wichita in broad day

not state whether it was policeman or a
lamp post that held him up.
From the Atchison Globe.
Down in Wichita they never sand store

From the Kansas City Star
The Wichita Democrats will present
Mrs. Grover Cleveland with $500 chair.
Mrs. Cleveland will no doubt be very
grateful, but it is probable that she could
get along with less chair and have some of
the money invested in several bolts OF
thick cotton goods.
From the Emporia Republican.
The Methodists of Kansas have been al

this state. 1t is suspected that move

From the Kansas CITY Times.
Hutchinson sent TO Wichita for q voter
and paid his fare both ways. Such extray-

for fat money. Economy IS the crying
need of Kansas.
From the Lawrence Journal
Two women who reside in Kansas City
have written play in which Mrs. Lease,
the Alliance, Jerry Simpon, Wichita and

it isn't roaring farce it will not be the

AT THE ME1HoDIsT CHURCH.

The 7:15 meeting of the Epworth League
last nighG ut the First NJ E church was
large, and the interest great. The testi-
mony indicated a substantial growth as a
result of recent meetings
At 7:45 the regular meeting was begun
by song service led by Mr.. Shaver. The
power of song has been wonderfully dis
played during the past few days.
At the conclusion of the special service
of song, Mr.. Shawhan began his sermon.
He took his text from Esther, and the de-
velopment of his theme involved the
narration of the remarkable story of Queen
Esther and her iuterposition between the
king and the slaughter of the Jews.
Applying the story of the queens will
ingness to risk tall for the deiverance of
the doomed people, the minister warmed
to his purpose and grew eloquent in his
appeals to the queens of today to save the
people from sin; to take firm hold of the
heart-strings committed to their care and
fasten them to the throne of God. A
wonderful and stirring appeal was made
to fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, TO
rest not till their loved ones were safe.
The words of the preacher had their
effect. When the altar service commenced,
many came forward for prayers; and there
was earnest work done by the laymen of
the church among the audience. No more
helpful and spiritual meeting has been
held
Today from s to o'clock services viii
be held at the church, and at 7;l5 the pre-
hminary meeting of the Epworth League.

BAPTIST REVIVAL CLOSED.

The series of revival meetings which
have been going on at the West Side
Baptist church for the past month, closed
last night and to say that the meetings
were fine success would be ina6equately
expressing it. 1t was a remarkably sue
cessful revival, considering the fact that
Rev. Mr. Sheppard had no other minister
to help him in the great work which he so
courageously undertook and carried to a
successful termination. There were thirty
additions made to the church during the
month, and besides this the course of SER
mons, handled as they were in a mastery
manner, had a very strengthening effect
on the members and made them better
satisfied than ever that they were accom-
plishing the Masters work in the Baptist
faith

ExILEs FROM RUSSIA.

Three families OF Hebrews. who were
compelled to leave Russia because of the
persecution of the government of the czar
passed south yesterday over the Santa Fe

where they will locate on farms among
their own people, who organized colony
in that section of the country five years
ago and who are pursuing the art OF
agriculture with success. They could not
speak word of English, but carried with
them credentials showing where they de-
sired to go and such other information as
is usually needed by travellers. The party
consisted of thirteen persons. Thirteen is
said to be an unlucky number, but the
poor, unfortunate aud downtrodden exiles
from their unhospitable native land didn't
seem to have any superstitious fears. The

WICHITA BEFORE THE RAILWAY CON-
MISSIONERS.
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital
The board of railroad commissioners
was engaged in hearing the complaint of
the Wichita Union stock yards against the
railroads centering there yesterday fore
noon. The complainants were represented
by Judge James Humphrey and j. E.
Howard; the railroads by Attorneys Hurd
of the Santa Fe aud Low of the Rock
Island and General Freight Agent Lincoln
of the Missouri Pacific.
The substance of the complaint is that
the railroad companies in recent adjust
ment raised the rate out of Kansas City
for distance of eighty miles and lined up
the Wichita rate to the same basis for the
same distance, but left intact the rates to
Kansas City from Wichita's natural terri
tory.
The complainants claim it was done TO
discriminate against Wichita, the respond
ents that it was equalizing on mileage
basis rates that had been out of line. Both
sides will file briefs.
The complaint of f. Bean of Wichita
against the Missouri Pacific was heard at
the same time.
This also involves another point in the
wholesale lumber dealer who moved to
Wichita Immediately after the decision in
order to take advantage of the rates as
distributing point
A car of lumber was shipped from his
mill in Arkansas over the Frisco road, and
from q point where the Missouri Pacific
had no through rates, consigned to COM
plainant at Wichita. and rebilled by him
to point on the Missouri Pacific. The
railroad company would not grant jobbers'
rates unless the lumber was unloaded and
then reloaded.
This again involves that very interesting
question Of interstate rates. which is an
ever-present excuse for the railroad COM
panies in answering complaints TO the
Kansas board. This point is involved in
the sugar case, and it is conceded that the
Kansas board will express their views on
this point in this decision,
