DIDN'T CATCH THE TRAIN,
A Chapman Mans Experience With
the Rear Coach.


Henry Howe, a solidly built young
man Of Chapman, knows more about
getting on trains than he did last
evening. He realizes better the i'm
portance Of not trying to get aboard
after the train is in motion He in
tended going home last night and was
at the Continental hotel. The mid
night train came in but he did not
get down to the depot until 1t had
started. Making run, he endeavored
to catch the rear coach at the rear
platform. He partly did 1t but in the
darkness slipped cog somewhere
and took a tumble which made him
think he was a combined subsoil pillow
and 40-tooth harrow. When he
gathered the fragments Of himself he
found that half dozen gashes on
head and face, sprained and bruised
shoulder and about 20Oblack and blue
spots on his body made up the inven-
tory Of injuries. He was fixed up by
means Of expert medical skill and was
able to 60 home atnoon today, though
looking like u walking hospital. He
will need few days to recuperate.

HOLDING THEIR CORN.
Many Spectators Put Money in Corn
Cribs.

VrlDs.
Probably less corn will be shipped
from Kansas this year than In long
time owing to the large amount being
held by farmers and spectators for
higher prices. One Of the reasons
is the unfair rate made on freight by
which Texas and other southern
points cannot proftably be reached.
A leading grain dealer says: "Think
Of fine corn being sold at Is and IS
cents bushel, and farmers and feed
ers in Texas and southern points are
compelled TO pay at the rate Of 50
cents per bushel. In other words,
the man who owns the land, team,
pays taxes, works for nothing and
boards himself, receives ID and IS
cents bushel for bis corn, while the
railroad receives twice as much per
bushel for less than three days work.
Again, you can ship your product to
Kansas City, then have it rebilled,
making 800 miles farther and save
money instead Of sending it direct
south. While we are forced to COM
pete with cribbers for every bushel we
secure, yet | am glad to see the sys-
TEN Of cribbing adopted by Kansas
men. 1t will rebound to the benefit
Of the country"
