CHANGES ON THE RAIL. New Time Cards on Both
 Roads. Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
 Flyers" Getting Ready for Winter Business on the Great Trunk
 Lines.

Changes all around are imminent in the time cards of the railroads that do carry unto Phoenix the people from afar. The pleasure of the people here. of course, has not been consulted by the time-card mechanics of the great trsnscontinental lines, and the local roads will meet the changes as best they may.
 The changes on the Southern Pacific have been already announced to the railway men. No. 20, on the main line, the westbound express, will havo prac tically the same time as at present, arriv. ing at Maricopa at 10 D. n. No. 19, eastbound, will arrive at Maricopa at 6:03 a. m.
 To meet these changes, Manager Hon. shell of the Maricopa & Phoenix Is ar- ranging a temporary time card. Sunday next the southbound train, leaving Phoenix as before at 8 p. m., will lay over at Maricopa until 6:l0, arriving at Phnnix few minutes before o'clock.
 A change in this arrangement will be made, however, early in November October 31 from New Orleans and Mo- vember 2 from San Francisco will be inaugurated the seml-weekiy flyer ser vice of the Southern Pacific, giving four fast through trains week into Maricopa. Then, in order to furnish all necessary and rapid service, MT. Honshell expects to run two trains each night to Maricopa and return, the regular returning about Il 80, making the thirty five miles in about an hour. The second will leave about 4 a. m., connecting with the westbound train and returning after the passage of the regular express and of the flyer from the west. which will reach Maricopa at 3:54 8. m.
 On the Santa Fe equally elaborate changes are being made, to take effect in about ten days. Past Ash Fork will also go semi-weekly through flyer. Magnificent vestibuled trains are now being fitted up at Pullman for the ser vice. The trip from Chicago to Los Angeles will then be made in less than three days.
 No definite idea as to the changes on the Atlantic X Pacific can be gained. It is understood among the Phoenix repre- sentatives of the Santa Fe that the passenger train now arriving at 1920 and leaving at 8 :30-mountain time will, under the new system, arrive at 12 noon and depart at 2 30 D. m., giving a daylight journey to and from Prescott. The accommodation train will proba ably be changed over to night run.

USED A RAZOR.
Peter Lund Commits Suicide by
Cutting His Throat.

Peter Lund, farmer residing two
miles southeast of Franklin, in Rem
vile county, committed suicide about
five o'clock last Wednesday afternoon.
The instrument of death was "a zor.
He drew it over his throat three differ
ent times, and died within few min
utes after the last stroke had been
made. His head was nearly severed
from his body.
Lund was about 40 years of age.
He has been married seven years and
was the father of six children. Some
of his neighbors think that there was
vacant room to let in his upper story.
He has been having hard time
during the last few months, the crop
on the farm on which he was living
and which he was renting from his
father-in-law, being very poor and in
asmuch as he was hard pressed for
money, he became respondent while
thinking of his destitute condition. On
Wednesday he was cutting this poor
crop and something happened to his
binder which necessitated him going
to town. Instead of going to town for
an extra he walked to his house and
assembled to the second floor. He
took razor he used for shaving and
while standing up he drew the instru-
ment across his throat in the manner
indicated above.
Lund fell to the floor and the
noise attracted his wife. She went up
stairs and found her husband laying
in pool of blood. He breathed his
last few seconds after Mrs. Lund's
appearance. Deputy Coroner Stod-
dard was notified and upon examine
ton declared an inquest unnecessary.
Lund owned farm in another
portion of Renville county. It was
rented but the crop was poor and lit

THEIR STORY.
The Reform School Girls Tell a D1f-
ferent Tale.

+, Sergt. Morcraft of the Third U. S.
Infantry, arrested with other soldiers
for assisting in the escape OF Winnie
johnson and Bessie Batty from the
Red Wing reform school, has been
fined SIS AID costs, amounting in all
to S3O6s, by Justice Diepenbrock OF
Red Wing. 1t appears that Morcratt
had criminal relations with the Batty
girl and the fine imposed was intend
ed as punishment for the same. The
opinion seems to be that he will not
be punished any more.
The principal testimony in the case
was that of the two girls. According
to their story they escaped from the
reform school without aid, and that
after escaping they went to the camp
where they met the soldiers on night
duty. According to the story of the
girls about 2 o'clock am. on the night
of June %, they made their escape
from dormitory window with the as
sistance of two sheets tied together at
the corner. Winnie was the first one
to reach the ground, and was followed
in about ten minutes by her compani-
on, Bessie, who fell by reason of the
sheets coming united, and hurt her
back in the fall. She recovered in
short time and together the girls
made their way to the soldiers camp,
a distance of several blocks, dressed
only in their night robes. Reaching
there they approached the guard tent,
which was the only one in which there
was light, and attracted the atten-
ton of the inmates by rapping on the
outside.
The defendant, G Morcraft, then
on duty as sergeant of the guard, was
the first to speak with them, and to
him they told where they were from;
that they we're running away and
asked for assistance. They were at
first advised by the sergeant to return
to the school, but were allowed to en-
ter the tent in which there were three
or four of the soldiery. They were
there about ten minutes, and upon
leaving Miss Bessie was accompanied
by Morcraft and Miss Winnie by Mr..
Blanchard blanchard could not ap-
pear at the trial as he is now under
military arrest awaiting court martial
for having deserted his post of duty
at the time the civil authorities made
their appearance in the military camp.
According to the testimony of both
girls they, with their companions, went
but short distance from the guard
tent, and we're together about twenty
minutes, during which time it is
claimed that Morcraft committed the
crime. Following this they left the
camp and proceeded toward Front

four hours every afternoon for month or SO,

methods Of teaching and excellence of school work, over all other cities tn the land This Is a victory, the value Of which can scarcely be over-estimated. But this is only one of the advantages, for there are others equally as great as this. 3he impression made by the Ala bama exhibit is sending visitors and capitalists among us. many of whom will be certain to make investments here in the near future
 Thus is the lesson brought home to our people that enterprise pays. It came with very great burden upon Birmingham to raise what she did for the Alabama building. and many there are among lis who not only doubted the value of this enterprise. but actually refused to aid it. But this city can well feel that already she has beeo partly repaid foc her efforts to make the Alabam exhibit a success. since that exhibit is admittedly such a valuable portion of the exposition itself that it would have been really a great loss not to have had it there.
 All credit is due those patriotic gentle men who labored so faithfully to make this enterprise a success and their labors promise to be crowned with greater re suits than they dreamed of, for all Ala bana is certain to receive many and val uable acquisitions from them.

START THE RAIL.

It will soon be time for aspirants to represent Jefferson county in the state senate and the lower house to come to the front. There is going to be one. if not many more important issues in the campaign in Jefferson county this time The issue we refer to is whether or not the prosperity of Birmingham as a com mercial point shall continue not to come by reason of the commissary system now in vogue and sapping the vitals of thls city. The State Herald is informed that in the past members elected from this county have promised to secure the passage of laws necessary to break up the commissary system. but by some means they have failed to do so.
 The fact that in the past failure has been encountered should in no wise be allowed to discourage anyone. Ere quently effort after effort in the interest of right and justice have failed, but in the end victory crowns the efforts of those striving for a just cause. Right and justice demand that the comnis sary system be abandoned. and 1t must go. True. the six representatives and one senator from Jefferson county have not the power within themselves to en- act laws. but the fact remains that on a fair test the people of Alabama are op- posed to the system of which we com plain and from which Birmingham is sadly suffering, and the delegation from this county in the next legislature of the state. if it does its duty to the people. it will go there to represent, can secure the hearty cooperation of a large ma jority of the Alabama legislature in the enactment of law which will rid this community of the only real drawback 1t has.
 It is time now to get to work, and the State Herald suggests the immediate or ganization of an anti-commissary demo- cratic club here in Birmingham, and then extend the organization throughout the county. Every merchant, business. pro- fessional and laboring man in the county who is a democrat would join such an organization promptly. Such an organi- Zation would not only secure the election to the legislature of men fully commit ted to the striking down of the comnis- sary system, but would be able to make itself felt in making the fight when if shall come up in the legislature. If Bir- mingham is to be what it should be, if prosperity s.to be the portion of the bus mess men and laboring men of this city and district, the commissary system as now operated in these parts must go. And to insure it's going speedily and promptly those in interest must get to work.
 Every progressive state in the union has called halt on that kind of busi- ness, and Alabama should not hesitate to follow in the footsteps of her more pro gressive sister states.
