Missouri Gateway Lines out.

CHICAGO. March l0.-The report OF IS
rate from ST. Paul 10 Seattle, made by
the Canadian Pacific and connections, Is
denied In the most explicit terms by the
officials OF the Soo-Pacific road. They say,
moreover. that they have no intention or
making such a rate. The Western roads
were greatly disturbed over the matter, as
IL would have been impossible for them to
make a rate of S.. All the lines using the
Missouri river gateways would have been
compelled to route their business through
Portland In order TO reach Seattle, and
between Portland and Seattle there is an
arbitrary rate OF $3.50, which is demanded
by the Northern Pacific. and as it is the
only line between the two cities, the Mis-
souri, river lines are not able to reach
Seattle in any other way.

HUTCHINSON, KANSAS THURSDAY. MARCH 81, 1898.

Many persons had mysteriously dis
appeared from Galena. leaving no
clue behind them. Among these was
Frank Galbreath, mining man.
Two weeks after Galbreaths disup-
pearance, last July, his body was
seen floating in an old abandoned
mining shaft, near the roadside, about
200 yards from the Statfleback house.
Pending an investigation Charles Will
son left for parts unknown Suspic-
ion pointed to the Staitleback family
and old Mrs Staffleback and two Of
her sons were arrested. At the trial,
Cora Staffleback and other inmates
of the house told the most horrible
stories of how the StafIebacks had
murdered and robbed people and
thrown their bodies into old mining
shafts. They were convicted of Gal
breath's murder and sent to the peni-
Tertiary for life. Wilson is implicat-
ed in this murder Galbreath had
been enticed to the house by Mrs.
Staifleback's daughter and at 2
O'Clock at night, was attacked by
Wilson and the Stafflebacks. He was
shot several times and then his throat
was cut. His body was then robbed
and thrown into the old shaft. This
was the last of the many Staffleback
murders. which exceeded in number
the crimes of the notorious Bender
family.

"Well. john" he said, what are

"An exhorter, you mean"
"Yass. sir; a 'zorter-dat's it."
II thought you were a preacher.
What's the difference between a
preacher and an exhorter?
Difference 'twixt er 'zorter an er
