Railroad Commissioners Cannot Force
Telegraph Facilities.

The board of railroad commissioners has
refused to order the NJ. K & t railroad
to establish telegraph facilities at Strawn,
Coffey county.
In the opinion made public today the
board says that it is grave question
whether the board has any authority to
compel a railroad company to esta blish
telegraph facilities because the telegraph
company and the railroad company are
entirely different organiza tons and oper-
ated for different purposes. Without de-
Gliding that question point blank. the board
says that the business at Strawn does not
justify the establishment of a telegraph
station.

A Victim of Typhoid Contracted In
Cubn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Captain

the artillery branch OF the service hav-
ing been an honor graduate OF the ar
tillery school in 1873, and was regarded
as an authority on artillery tactics.

Il, and his battery did notably fine work
in the battle OF Santiago. During the
first days fight before the city Captain
Capron's son, Captain Allyn X Capron
of the Rough Riders, was killed. The
death OF his son preyed upon the ia
theirs mind, but he never swerved for
an instant from his duty during the
terrible days that followed. The seeds
Of disease were sown in his system
during the Cuban campaign, and he re-
turned to his home at Fort Meyer neal

typhoid fever

cadet In 1868. After graduation he was
made a second lieutenant of the frs
artillery on the nth Of June, 1867, m.

tain on the 4th OF December, 1883.
It is probable that Captain Caproi
will be buried in Arlington Nationa
cemetery. but no definite arrangement
for his funeral have yet been made.

cover. During the past week especially
was her condition considered favorable,
and IL was thought that her removal
from the hotel would be possible in a
few days. as the hotel had closed for
the season. leaving the patient and at
