ened car famine Neither Of the roads
have experienced any inconvenience in
meeting the demand for cars caused
by the large shipment Of grain
RAILROAD people in a general way do
not object to car famines, for they are
always brought about by a heavy rush
Of business and the roads enjoy such
things
On the Herington division Of the Rock
Island on Monday the company had a
surplus Of 215 cars. Yesterday there
was a demand for 80 more freight cars
than could be furnished. The company
however, had the cars, but they were not
on that division. There are plenty of
cars on the eastern division of the road
and in the yards at Kansas City. Ar
rangements were made yesterday for
the removal Of these to the Harrington
division.
The Santa Fe car service officers say
that they have great demand for cars.
but so far have been able to furnish all
needed. The Santa Fe company has
a large number of cars stored both IN
Topeka and Argentine and at other
points along the line which could soon
be put into service.
All the roads are enjoying this grain
rush and each is getting its share OF
the business. The Rock Island and
Santa Fe are handling most of the grain
to the Gulf. The Frisco is handling the
St Louis business from southern Kan
sas. The majority of the northern Kan
sas grain IS being taken to Chicago and
st Louis via Kansas City"

A fast track, poor lights, a good race
and good attendance were the features
at the Gentleman's Driving park last

ished last night. John Surgeons Wick

looked like rain for several hours with
thunder and lightning in the northwest.
In fact every time the club has adver-
tised to give races 1t has reined. Mat

ais to Water That Came Not From
Heaven or Earth"
Yesterday Judge Ed Marchant Of
Stafford county. who is spending a few
days in Wichita, received letter from
his brother-in-law at Cleo Springs. Ok
iahoma, that unfolds an interesting and
strange story.
Miss Frances Perkins, formerly OF St.
JOIN. Stafford county. was one of the
brightest young women in that settle
ment. Last Sunday she was with a
party Of friends and while out walking
they found some egg shaped rocks.
Before going farther. however. 1t IS
well to say something about Cleo
Springs. II is a regular fairy land and
there are many things there that seem
altogether out OF place in this world.
The egg shaped rocks are some of them.
They are about the size and shape Of a
loaf of rye bread. but are hollow in the
center, and in the cavity is contained
about pint OF clear water with crys-
tails around the side. The party broke
one OF the rocks and saw what it was
but the water was spilled Miss Per-
kins took a notion that nature may have
endowed the water with some great vir-
tue and she determined to drink it. She
held another of the egg shaped rocks
nx-f~,
all the water. This she put into glass
and speaking to her friends in a happy
mood gave toast OF death. Her,"
she said, lis to the water that came not
from heaven or from EARTH" and quaff
ed it. In fifteen minutes afterwards
she was dead. The draught she toasted
was fatal.
This was not the strangest part OF
the story. Frances was popular and all
her friends were filed with great sor-
row. The body was taken TO her home.
stiff and rigid, and in due time the burial
garments were secured. Her sister went
to dress her and as she did so her finger
ring came in contact with the body,
causing a sound as If IL touched marble.
Miss Perkins had turned into stone. and
that, too. within few hours after her
death. Then the sordid element of hu-
mainly began to assert itself and IL was
suggested TO her brother that he could
make a fortune by exhibiting the body
suggestion that he scorned. The
young lady was buried Monday.
A reporter for the Eagle saw the let
ter last night after Mr.. Marchant had
received it and fits contents were as
above stated. Ed. Marchant knew the
young lady well and all the parties who
were concerned in the strange event.
He says the writer Of the letter Is a man
of absolute reliability and not a man IL
able to be deceived. Miss Perkins was
about eighteen years Of age.
The egg shaped rocks are some times
called stone cocoanuts and while they
are very scarce. they are numerous IN
that section They were always Sup
posed TO be cut by the Indians as wea-
pOns of war, but IL is not known wheth-
er they have been known to be filled
with water heretofore or not This is
the first time that Judge Marchant has
heard OF that fact.
