Brutality of County Employees.
fo11 <o1,
Kansas City:
The horribly bruised body of Stuart c..
Palmer. once well-todo publisher of this city,
has been brought to KANSAS City from the poor
farm graveyard, where it had been buried
without the knowledge of the dead mans fami-
ly. The body is in shockingly bruised condi-
| ton. There is scarcely spot as large as a
mans hand which has not had scar 4
bruiSe Directly over the heart there is long
narrow discoloration, which might have been
caused by blow from heavy piece OF board.
The right hip is terribly multilated and on the
forehead there is an ugly confusion. and all
| the flesh is torn from one knee. Ex-Humane
Oflcer NJ. c. Milan says that he has secured
evidence Of shocking cruelties having been
practiced on the inmates. and that Palmer s
death was the result Of injuries inflicted by the
poor farm attendants. An investigation is be-
ing made.
Will Abolish Through Grain Rates.
A move which promises to make a
grain center of st. Joseph has been in
augurated by the Grand Island Rail
| way Co.
This was by the abolition of all through rates
on grain to ST. Louis. Chicago and common
points and the raising of the local rates from
all points on the Grand Island system from five
cents to ten cents. The change is hailed with
delight by some of the grain men of St. Joseph
and is the realization of a long-cherished hope
on their part. The grain merchants con.
tend that If the Grand Island road can
make and maintain q local rate schedule the
Burlington & Missouri River road will do the
same thing, and this will give the shippers the
advantage of being able to make rates on all
grain delivered to st. Joseph. whereas before
they could only name prices on grain delivered
to ST. Louis or Chicago on prices based on the
St. Louis or Chicago rates.
