WHY THEY CAME TO TOPEKA.
The Woman's Silence and the Mans
Sulkiness Cause of an Aged
Couples Trip.

1t was an odd looking couple that got
on the train at Kansas City. The man
was tall, with long hair tinged with
white and throat latch whiskers He
carried AIRED bandana tied round dozen
apples and his old white SLOUGH hat was
pulled tightly down over his eyes. The
woman wore a plaid shawl and was
short and fat and it was a tug for her
to climb the steps to the car. The man
never said a word as he helped the wO-
man on and motiOned her to a seat
The woman took the seat and she, too
said not a word and the man seated
himself beside her and still said moth

man paid the fare of the two to Wilder
and the woman all this time paid no
attention and never said a word.
When Wilder was reached the couple
still stayed on the train and again the
conductor collected fare, this time for
Lawrence.
Lawrence was passed and still the
and again the conductor collected fare,
this time for LecOmptOn and at Lee
compton he received the fare for the
two to Topeka.
Where are you going, Thomas?" de-

Topeka and take the next train back

cause she would not speak.

Any lady reader of this paper can
have trial package of a remedy that is
today the standard for female diseases.
1t makes no difference whether she is a
subscriber or not she will receive a full
size sample package prepaid by mail,
simply by sending her name and ad-
dress to the Hazeline Company, South
Bend, Ind. It is worth her while to
send for this free sample. In AIcFher-
son, Kansas, it cured a lady who suf-
fered constantly over 10 years from
various female troubles and after being
treated by u different doctors who fail
ed to relieve her. A lady living in
Toto, Starke Co, Ind, writes that this
famous remedy cured her daughter who
was so sick periodically that she was in
bed most of the time. From Sacra-
mentO, Gala lady writes that this rem
edy does away with surgical operations
and was saved the danger and torture
of the knife by being cured by Hazeline.
A lady in Silver City, New Mexico, says
that when she began using the remedy
five months ago her suffering was so
intense that she nearly went insane,
but the timely arrival of Hazeline saw

now healthy and happy. Miss Anna 3.

Sherman, Ky, March 10-The break
ing of an axle on freight train No. 80,
OF the Southern railroad, northbound
caused the demolition of eight cars near

Two of the cars rolled down a 2O-foot

a frame cottage near by, destroying the
building, splitting open the car and
starting several of the molasses bar

next six months. The other car that
rolled over the embankment landed in
a mud puddle, and its cargo of sugar

Santa Fe Sued For $4,000
Damages in COwley County.
Suit Grows Out of Pay Roll
Discharge Check.
CASE is COMPLICATED.
Alexander Shields Arrested as
"StraW Man,"
Afterwards Tried and Cleared
Now Brings Suit.

Winfield Courier: Alexander Shields
mas filed suit in the district court for
$4,000 damages against the Santa Fe
hallway company, alleging false i'm
prlSonment and malicious prosecution.
Ihls is a case of more than usual i'm
portance on account of the issues in
Volved, and it is going to be a mighty
hard fought case.
+ This suit grows out OF the old trou-
bic in which ROadmaster Mckenzie of
Arkansas City was the central figure
The history of that trouble is we'll
known.
Mr.. Mckenzie wrote the section man
at Perry to issue a discharge check to
one William Shields for Is days work
as the pay roll that month was light
and the next month would be heavy, his
ostensible purpose being to even up the
pay roll. This was done and the check
was endorsed by Mckenzie. Later the
section man at Perry was discharged.
he thought at the inStigatiOn of Nc
kinzie, and to get even he told about
this Shields check. The check was is
sued June IS, 1894, and was stamped
paid July 5, but it is said to have been
cashed June 80.
The detectives learned that Alexan-
der Shields who was then employed
with the Alexander Milling company of
this city was the only Shields who had
ever been on the pay roll on this diVis-
ion and case was worked up on the
theory that he was the straw man.
and cashed the check. He was arrested
at Arkansas City without a warrant
and consented to go to Perry without a
requisitiOn. There were three indict-
ments against him but he was eXOnera-
ted on every charge and this suit is the
result.
The check was issued and paid while
the road was in the hands of a receiV-
er, but the prosecution of Shields was
by the new organization.
Some of the best legal talent in the
west will represent Shields and Ofcourse
the Santa Fe will be equally well rep
resented. Shields attorneys are Wa
tiers & Waters of Topeka, A. R. MueseI-
Ter of Perry and Clarkson &, Clarkson
of this city. The case will not come to
court.

FRUIT FROM CALIFORNIA.
Three and Four Extra Trains 3 Day
Yet Many Idle Santa Fe Crews.

The fruit shipments from California
have been increasing steadily during
the last six weeks and now there are
three and four trains a day of fruit
bound for eastern markets over the
Santa Fe. The trains are handled over
the cut off to Kansas City.
AS yet the extra trains have not
caused the increase in business to be
felt by the train crews as the number
of crews now in service falls far below
the number in service last fall during
the rush.

GRAIN GOING SOUTH.
n. a. & B. Hauls SO Car Loads Out of

The Manhattan, Alma & Burlingame
is doing a good grain business.
Within the last two days so cars loads
of grain have been shipped from Man
haitian to the Gulf via the M. A. & B.
The grain was brought into Manhattan
over the Union Pacific from Omaha and
transferred to the Santa F'e.
The transportation of grain over this
line has been going on steadily for some
time, and this week has been as much
as the regular trains could handle. 1t
looks as if it would keep up for some
time.

TEXAS STOCK RUSH.
Almost Causes a Famine in Santa Fe
Cattle Cars.

There has been a steady call for stock
cars, to be used by the Santa Fe for
transporting stock from Texas to points
in Oklahoma. Every available stock car
on the road has been called into service
and has been ordered to Purcell and
from there over the G.. G. & S. f.
The transfer of stock has been going
steadily on and has kept the road busy
furnishing cars. AS yet the supply of
cars has met the demand, but if the
supposed rush comes, it will be likely to
cause a car famine.

HIS PAST RECORD GOOD.
Conductor McCambridge Reinstated
by the Santa Fe.

Conductor J. McCambridge has been
reinstated.
Some time ago McCambridge had or
ders for Usage City. He was called for
Emporla, and when the train pulled on
to the siding at Usage City, it waited for
a train to pass.
When the train had passed Mccain
bridge failed to report at the office for
release, and gave the signal to pull
out for EmpOria. The engineer also
forgot the fact that he should receive a
release, and the train was running with
out any orders.
The past record of McCambridge has
always been good, and this was conSid-
cred when he was reinstated.
