WOULD KILL HERSELF.

A Co1ored Girl at the City Prison
Charged With Larceny Threatens Suicide.
A colored girl giving her name as
Frances Bons has been arrested by the
police charged with stealing a purse
containing $3.50 from Mrs. Mccormick,
g dressmsker living on East Eighth
street. The colored girl was having a
dress made at Mrs. Mccormick, and
had been at her rooms having it fitted.
Shortly after the Bons woman left Mrs.
McCormick discovered the loss of her
purse and suspected the colored girl.
When she was arrested the girl had only
a little small change, but had just pur-
chased a new pair of shoes. The case
against her is wholly circumstantial
The girl has been employed in the fami-
ly of a Topeka newspaper man. She is
declared by the police to be of unsound
mind Jailer Disbrow says he took a
pair of scissors away from her because
she threatened to kill herself with them.

Why NOT TEN HOURS TO CHICA cor
What the Santa Fe Could Do il it Wanted


The Argentine (Kan) Republic con-
tains an article on passenger rate agree
ments that is so much to the point that
the STATE JOURNAL reproduces it. The
Republic says:
Railway managers are considered
about the shrewdest business men in
the country, yet the Republic fails to
discover anything pertaining to business
in the usual agreements between COM
peting lines. There are four railway
lines between Kansas City and Chicago;
yet, strange as it may seem, patrons of
those roads are compelled to ride fifteen
and a half hours instead of ten On &C
count OF the competition. 1t is 458 miles
from Kansas City to Chicago, via the
Santa Fe, and thirty miles the shorte st
route; yet, on account of the COMPETE
| ton OF the other lines, she must continue
to run slow" and get there the same
time as the other lines. To COM
pei business men and the travelling
public to ride five and a half houls extra
and patrOnize all the dining cars and
lunch counters on the road on account of
| competition, is stop backward in this
age of reform.
"If the Santa Fe would put on a flyer
between Kansas City and Chicago she
would carry the passengers. and it would
only require an extra jointer on each sec
ton. killing time for fear of retaliation
in cut rates is a species of cowardice that
would never be tolerated in any kind of
! business, and will eventually work its
own destruction.
CAT the present time those nice little
agreements of railway managers con-
| cocted between the walnuts and the wine
are more honoTed in the breach than the

the committee is after the scalp of Con.

Her nance was an expert swimmer, but had not been in bathing in salt water for over twenty years until yesterday.

Newspaper Changes.

Concerning the reports in various of
 the papers Saturday regarding the New
 Haven Register, MT. John D. Jackson of
 that paper writes to the Hartford
 Times as follows:
 With the exception of the statement of the retirement of MT. Rodman, the city editor, and the choosing of his suc-
 cessor MT. Day, there is not a single material statement in the article all luded to that is not wholly false. What is less creditable, no effort was made to see either Colonel Osborn or myself to verify the statements made before publication.
 To deny, categorically: First, it is
 stated that Colonel Osborn is to retire from the editorial management of the Register and be succeeded by MT. s. AL bert York, jr., on September 1. MT. York will not succeed Colonel Osborn
 on September 1, or at any other time, and no editorial change is in contem- plation.
 It is also stated that Colonel Osborn has sold his stock. Colonel Osborn has never, personally, owned any stock in the Register, and was only interested | as one of eight heirs to an estate which controlled the majority of stock in the paper.
 It is further stated that when I ''took | hold of the paper two years ago, I be-
 gan to make perpendicular cuts in salaries, and decreased the force,
 among others crowding out Lewis S. | Welch, formerly city editor of the | Courant," and "that Colonel Osborn
 strongly protested against this sum-
 mary way of doing business, but was l powerless to prevent it.'
 The facts are that I have been con-
 nected with the paper but seven months, that not single cut has been made
 in the salary of any regular employe of
 the paper, but, on the contrary, several l have been raised; and that Colonel Osborn first suggested, and was en- | tirely responsible for the severance of
 MT. Welch's rela tions with the paper.
 He has made every change in the edi- | torial department on his own motion
 after consultation with me, and our re- lations have been perfectly harmoni-
 ous.
 The other changes in the force sug-
 gested or stated" have not been con- | templated. Incidentally, in showing the apparent animus of the article, it should be stated that every individual
 suggested as interested in the Register
 property at present is either adorned
 with a new name, or initials, or has had | his name misspelled.
