KILLED BY THE CARS.
Another Fatal Handcar Acct
dent at Lawrence.

Eli Mattocks died very suddenly at his
home in Atchison. He had long been at
ficted with heart and kidney trouble, but
his death was FASTENED by the excessive
heat. The deceased was Il years of age,
and was employed as night Waterman
for the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe
at the Tenth street crossing. He started
from home shortly before O'Clock to as
sumo his duties as Waterman, but col
lapsed in a sort of fainting spell within a
few feet of the door. He was carried
back into the house and physicians sum-
moned, but before they could arrive the
patient expired.
Until he retired from that branch of the
service three years ago, Eli Mattocks was
known as the oldest brakeman in the en-
ploy of the Santa Fe, and, in fact, one
of the Oldest in the country. He began
with the Santa Fe in 1872, when the road
was in its infancy running as brakeman
between Topeka and Burlingame. From
that time until the day of his death he
was in the service of the company, Serv-
ing as brakeman, conductor, switchman
and Waterman He was a man of eX-
cellent habits and was highly esteemed
by the officials of the road.
When his age became barrier to fur
ther service on the road he became a
Waterman at the Tenth street crossing al
increased pay over the amount usually
paid for such service. The deceased leaves
a widow and six children. The funeral
took place TODAY.

Other Folks Troubles
EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE WITH
KIDNEY DISEASE POINTS
A VALUABLE LESSON.
The Discovery of Chemist John Nor
row, Proves of Even Greater
Value Than He at First
Claimed.

Everybody who is gifted with COM
mon sense learns by their own exper-
fence; the exercise of uncommon sense
is displayed when a person learns from
the experience of others. 1t is thus
that medical men gain knowledge Of
the action of new drugs. and it is by
the experience of others that sufferers
from the long list of bodily troubles
due to kidney disorder, are learning the
great value Of MOrrOw's kidOeids.
In a field where scientists had labor
ed for years with but little reward,
John Morrow, the noted chemist OF
Springfield, Ohio, has reaped success,
and time has demonstrated that the
small yellow tablets, the secret OF com
pounding which he discovered, have
more than all the virtues which the dis
coverer claimed for them.
Persons who suffer from kidney trou-
bles or from pains in the back, head
aches, nervousness, pain in urinating or
any other of the symptoms that indi-
cate incipient kidney disease, will do
wisely to read carefully and weigh well
the experiences of others with Nor
rows KidneOids as published in these
columns from time to time.
One of many extraordinary cures eff
fected by this great kidney remedy is
that of Mrs. Sarah Denane, who lives
at las East street, Springfield, Ohio.
She tells the following:
I have been suffering from dropsy,
the result of kidney trouble Have
peen aIIllcIeu Win Kidney oISSaSe AOI
nearly twenty years. I have under
gone the most distressing pain and
lame back, and had almost come to the
conclusion that my case was incurable.
Had consulted different physicians and
experimental with various patent med
icineS without being benefited in the
least. Having heard such favorable
reports from those who had tested the
use of Morrow's KidneoidS decided to
try a box. After taking them I was
helped so much that 1 felt sure of be
ing cured, and 1 continued the treat
ment until now I am enjoying the best
health I have had for twenty-five years.
Morrow's Kidneoids cured me when
everything else had failed"
MorrOw's Kidneoids are for sale at all
dealers. Price so cents a box, or six
boxes for 50. 50. If not to be had at your
dealers, they will be sent postpaid upon
receipt of price by John Morrow & Co.,

Ohio.

going on the road To give them the
required rest under the present sys-
tenn means increasing the number of
crews and locomotives in service, con-
sequently increasing the cost of hand
ling.
Engineers at present are responsible
for certain repairs being made to their
engines, and while it is not desirable to
make any change which might cause
the engine to cease to be her to the
engineer, it is considered advisable to
relieve the engineers of certain respOn-
s1bIlity in the matter of repairs; there
fore, under the system of pooling, in
addition to the usual inspection of an
engine by the engineer, the engine Will
be again inspected by an engine in
spector appointed for that purpose, and
the rOundhOuse foreman held strictly
responsible for the condition of power
turned out for service. The duties of
enginemen are clearly defined A fire
man viii be assigned with each engi-
neer on the regular list. A sufficient
number of engineers will be kept on
the extra list to fill the places Of men
who may lay off
With these conditions it is expected
to do away with the question of over
work and its attendant liability of ac-
cldents; provide a more equitable diviS-
ion of the work among the men as a
whole, thereby creating harmony among
them; develop the greatest efficiency in
regard of locomotives, and give the
travelling public comfort, safety and
dispatch.

SPRINGFIELD ALL RIGHT.
Ordnance officers are Indignant at
Statements Questioning It's
Merits.

Washington, July 1.-THE ordnance Of
ficers of the army are indignant a the
statements that have appeared in the
press. some of them attributable to high
army officers, questioning the merits of
the Springfield rife, with which a large
proportion of the United States army is
armed. These statements, they say, are
calculated to do infinite harm among the
volunteer forces. though the regulars
know and like the old Springfield too well
to distrust it now. The principal argu-
critics is that it's short range enables the
Mauser-armed Spanish to pick off our men
long before they get within the range of
the SDringfields This is said to be based
upon error. The Springfield has a range
of thirty-four hundred yards, which is
only a few hundred yards short of the
Nauser. and the formers big 500 grain
bullet is said to have greater killing power
at the long ranges. The opinion of some
good pra ctical soldiers as to the respective
merits of the Springfield and the modern
small bore is shown by the fact that such
able soldiers as Colonel Ray and Colonel
Schuyler of New York. who, are organic
ing independent regiments, have specially
requested the war department to supply
them the former. A great deal has been
said also as to the great superiority of
smOkeleSs powder used in the small bore
over the black powder of the Springfield,
but one of the best ordnance experts in
the war department has declared that
there are merits in both powders. In
open fighting the smoke made by the
Springfield often serves to obscure the
markSman from return fire While the
man armed with the SmOkeless weapon is
exposed to aimed fire

KLONDIKERS IN TREES
Driven There by the Flood in the
Yukon River

San Francisco, July 11-Twenty
miners from the Yukon pIacers at
Manool1, Circle City and Dawson ar
rived here on the schooner Hattie I.
Phillips from st. Michael The return
ing prospectors, who bring about S7O,-
coo with them, have been in Alaska
from one to twenty-five years. Half of
the party will return to work their
claims.
These Yukon miners include: J. H
ELS, Chicago; F. E. Halter. Detroit; w.
F. Pinkham, Boston; Joseph Bird, BaIti-
more, and P. Hardie, WilIiamsport, Pa.
The passengers from Dawson are con-
hdent that the output of Dawson will
run over $25, 0OU, 900. Manook win pro-
duce not less than $500, 600. Circle City
will also contribute in no small degree
to the total product from the Alaska
placers.
The Yukon is said to be higher than
has been known for years, and over
flowed its banks at ManOok, where
number of miners were washed away
by the f1OOu. One of the passengers
from Manook, Ernest CIaxton, of San
Francisco, reported that word had
reached ManOok that the little river
totally wrecked at Kuskequem, and her
passengers had st ali of their pro-
visions and outfits in the disaster. For
thirty-Six hours after the boat was
wrecked the passengers were compelled
to remain in the trees lining the river
banks until the flood subsidized enough
to allow them to reach a place of safety.
At the time the Hattie 1. Phillips sailed
four schOOners were lying about St.
Michael ready to receive the OutcOm-
ing miners and loaded with other gold
seekers who were ready to take their
places in the river camps.
The Hattie L. Phillips brought the
news of the death on the AIanOOk trail
of Victor E. MaIunOf, of New York, who
was United States consul to Annaburg,
Saxony, during the first administration
of President Cleveland. MaidhOf at
tempted to cross the portage from
Unalaklik to KaItag, bound for ManOOk,
in company with H. M. Morgan, CORE
spOndent of the Associated Press.
Deserted by their guide, they lost their
way in a binding snow storm. Their
provisions were exhausted, their hands
and feet frozen, and after subs sting on
dog meat for several days MaidhOf
died and was burieD in a snow drift.
His companion, Morgan, became snow
bound and was found by a party of
Indians. After he had lain four days
in his sleeping bag at the point of
death. Morgan was resuscitated at the
Unalaklill mission, although some of
his toes had to be amputated.
The Phillips also brings word of the
drowning in a hole in the ice, while
crossing the bay at st. Michael of Geo.
Clark. of Glasgow, Scotland, and more
recently from Victoria, 3. c.

AFTER ROCK ISLAND.
Terrific Rate War Will Last Until


Denver, July 11-BetWeen the pres
ent time and July Is merchants OF
speculative turn of mind will have
ample opportunity to test their prog
nOstic ability, for up to the fifteenth
day of the present month the railroads
handling transcOntinental business pro-
pose to completely demOlish freight
rates. On the date mentioned above
tariff rates must be restored, and in
order to make the best possible use of
their time the roads have determined
to knock the bottom out of the freight
rate situation.
For months it has been known that
some of the roads have been cutting
rates indiscriminately, MAKING unusual
ly substantial reductions for their
large customers, and not refusing to
undersell the tariffs for the smaller
shippers. The principal cause of the
trouble, however, is a fight which is
being Waged between the local freight
representatives of two of the heaviest
handlers of freight into this territory
the Burlington and the Rock Island.
These two roads, it is claimed by the
others, failed to restore rates at the
time of the last settlement of the diff
culties between the water and the all
rail lines. and have been underquOting
these figures every little while since,
with the result that the other lines
have secured very little of the business
which has moved. The Burlington and
the Rock Island. it is claimed, have
paid no attention to the other roads,
but have only watched each others
moves. AS quickly as one would name
a low rate for any movement the other
would attempt to secure that business
by quoting rate still lower and so it
went until now rates of One-half tariff
figures can be secured for almost any
class of goods. AS an illustration it is
shown that both the Rock Island and
the Burlington have contracts for the
shipment of large cOnsignments of can
ned goods from Baltimore and New
York to Denver at the remarlza bly, low
rate of 40 cents a hundred, while the
tariff is IS cents. Other classes of
freight are down in proportion, and the
merchants are ordering large quantities
of goods which will be contracted to be
shipped at the present low figures
Some of the competitive roads have
planned a ten DAYS campaign which
NAV be costly to the two ringleaders.
They have agreed to offer wonderful in
ducements in the matter of rates, to
shippers, knowing that as soon as
either the Burlington or the Rock Is
land gets wind of it that that road will
equal it if it does not quote rate even
lower for the movement of the business.
Freight circles should experience con-
siderable activity during the ensuing
few days.

BEER APPEARED ALONE.
How Government Regulations Work
ed in Indian Territory.

e"The incest piece Of Iegerdemain I
ever saw was in the Indian territory"
said a baggageman who is given to odd
experiences. I was stopping at a lit
tie town called Wausa, and it was a hot
day The natives had taken the shoes
off all the draft horses for the reason
that the ground was so hot that it
warped the iron shoes and two horses
had their legs broken in that way, but
this is another story, not sleight OF
hand.

to give the GrOttO of Diamonds. if had
been Monte Christie, for a bottle of beer.
I sought out a friend and told him my
case. He explained that government
laws were very strict and that beer and
other intOXicants we're not allowed to be
sold in the territory.
What will I dO2' I asked.
''Have you a dOlIar?" he asked
''I have"
HE walked over toward a post and
made few magic movements and said
to me: place your dollar on that post
and follow me- I did as I was told
and followed him on a rounda bout path
to a small shed. He pushed the door
open and we entered There on a rough
counter were two cold bottles of beer
and two glasses. That beat all the
rabbits out of a plug hat that I ever
saw for there was not a person in that
shed
