II has boen decided by the Rock Is
land operating department, to use its
"l200 series" of monster locomotives in
hauling the Kansas aud Oklahoma q, A,
r. special trains between NIississirp
River points and Chicago, Those To-
comotives have recently been added to
the equipment Of the Rock Island and
are the largest and most perfect locomo-
tives in service, on any railroad in the
United States today. The using Of these
locomotives in hauling the &. A. Il.
specials, not only assures quick, safe
and on time service to the Rock Island
patrons, but also will give the passen-
gers an opportunity to see the working
OF these wonderful locomotives They
equipped with all late safety appliances,
including electric headlights, which
will reveal any object for a distance of
mile ahead of the train.

Lost an Eve.

Quite deplorable affair occurred at
the Santa Fe depot Wednesday night
which shows very we'll the devllIshness
of some boys and young men whose
principal occupation is loafing about
the depots and other similar places.
A couple Of young men from Burton
came in on passenger train NO.6 and
one of them named Beckham had a
bottle Of gin In beer bottle In one of
his pockets, AS he passed among
these loafers one of them grabbed the
bottle from his pocket and dashed off
through the crowd Beckham gave
chase and one Of them struck him a
terrible blow In the eye with the
heavy bottle. 1t was found upon eX-
animation that he was seriously hurt
and that the eye ball had been badly
cut-so badly that 1t was impossible
to save the eye. There was also quite
bad cash on the forehead but that
proved to be nothing serious, The in
jured boy is the son of w, e. Beck
ham, we'll known citizen of Burton.
His brother came here next day to
take care of him. The police immedi-
atty began looking up evidence in the
affair. The gang of boys suspected
have been into various kinds of trouble
before, and it was not very difficult to
the satisfaction of the police that the
blow was struck by Jesse WhItzell,
the boy who was nearly killed by fall
ing from the top Of q passenger train
near Alden several weeks ago About
half II dozed other boys were impli-
Gated and next morning after the oc.
curance, left town. They were caught
that night however and returnsd;gto
kbisclty andeOmmittedtO jail. ~,si,,.lg
\ The bows arrested are Jesse Whiisell
LOuie Whitzell,' Dan Shields, Mick
Cohley and boy by the name of Adams
and another by the name of Yokum.
They were taken before Esq, Cambell
and their bond was fixed at $50 each {.
The fathers of Conley and Shields gave
bond for their boys and claim that
they are innocent. Atterward the
other boys gave bail.

New York, Aug. ll.-Bob FGNzslm'

Gcan citizen met Gus Rubin, the Ak
ron giant, last night, before the
TwenNlelh Century Club at Madison
Square garden and won by knocking
the Ohioan DOWN and 9wl in the slSth
round, Before the fight md for some
weeks past ibere have been many re-
pUNs to the effect TINT INitn was tod
old to cope successfully with 'hts
younger opponent, II was argued
that Flitzs well.known knowledge OF
the game and his capability Of hard
hitting would not be able to counter
balance the youth and SlTeng h rs
well as the recently acquired ring
tactics of the Ohio man. Last uight
however, all this had been changed.
Flltz did the trick cleanly and cleycrlv,
II was n fierce and bloody battle
while II lasted. and at times Il looked
as If Rubin would get the better Of
the older man, burt Fit2, Ht the proper
time, would cut loose with his fearful
body blows. which finally AnuIed on,

showed, Fitz was equal Ito he task he
had set himself, and won out with
that terrible solar-pIcXus blow which,
whenever II landed shook Rubin lg N
head to foot From the word "go'

nike force. Both men were wild n

a good deal. and for three or four

some hard stralght lerts/ on 'ii2'5

Of these blows staggered Fltz, but
nohe of them landed on the mark, as
Fitz was too shifty, AT times both

Sulolda.

A very sad tragedy occurred in one of
the rooms in the third story Of the
Brunswick hotel at ten o'clock Tues
day forenoon. About two weeks ago
Mr.. W, G. Funk Of Wichita, young
man about twenty-five or twenty six
years of age, purchased the Boyd drug
store In the new Krous building and
since then has been doing a very good
business. BuJ for seven or eight
months he had been suffering intensely
from rheumatism, and had just re-
turned from Eureka Springs where he
had been for treatment. However he
was still badly crippled and really un-
able to attend to business. On Mon
day he complained that he WAS worn
out and unfit for business. Next
morning a prescription called for some
ingredient which he did not have in
the stone and he sent the Ooy out for
SO. HThe boy returned and reported
that ihe could not get any, He said
he could get IL, and went out.
Shortly afterward the report Of a
pistol was heard In the Brunswick ho-
tel, but those that heard 1t could not
located 1t at the time.
1t was nearly an hour afterward
when one of the chsmbermalds at
work in a room adjoining his, heard
a groaning in the room and called an
assistant ana went In. On entering
the room they found Mr.. Funk living
on the bed with the pistol in his hand
and o bullet hole in his head.
Doctors Clipped and the two Stew
arts we're Immediately summoned.
They found that the ball had entered
at the top of the head near the roots Of
the hair and ranged down, lodging
just inside the skin Mt the back of the
palate. lie lived until 1905 or almost
exactly two hours after committing
the desperate deed.
The deceased was single man and
had no relatives in this city. His par
ents live IN Wichita where he was well
and favorably known by many friends
who deeply deplore his awful death.

Nearly a Fatal Cutting .

Tue merry-go-round, which has
been operating on the lots near the
street car barn has gathered to 1t all
sorts of people, and Buck Rayl was
appointed special policeman to main
tain order in those parts.
Last Friday evening, one Bill Whet-
2ell, boy about nineteen years of age
persisted in trying to ride without
paying his fare. Rayl pulled him off.
A short time later he came around
again and Rayl went after him again.
This time the boy pulled out knife
and before the officer could defend
himself, had slashed him across the
abdomen, making a wound in curved
shape eight inches long, but fortu-
nately not deep enough to do much
harm. But had the point of the knife
been pressed an inch further 1t would
have disemboweled him. AS soon as
the young man struck him with the
knife the officer struck him couple of

That Tax Law.

The war between the city council
and the eastern Wholesale houses has
taken new turn. Having failed in
their attempt to have the ordinance
taxing them one hundred dollars per
month for shipment declared uncpn-
stitutional in the federal courts, the
wholesale companies have now deter
mined to eyade the tax, 70 we are in
formed, by moving their storage rooms
to South Hutchinson, While this
maneuyer will cause them some ex-
pen3o aud considerable Inconvenience
In draying their goods to and from the
railroads, 1t Is probable they can afford
to do IL.
This Is likely in part war between
the local, home JObbing houses and tho
big Missouri River concerns, BY
maintaining these distributing stations

The Circus

The circus has come and gone, The
city of canvas spreads itself and is
gone almost as castles in the air,
But when it goes it takes with it many
substantial dollars. Yet while it was
here it made glad the hearts of several
thousands of children of all ages be-
tween three and seventy years.
The circus that was here Monday
was success or failure largely
according to the age of the eyes that
saw it. We heard much complaining
and also much praise. As for our own
judgement we thought it was good.
Of course all circuses are much alike
and one cannot expect very many ex-
traordinary new things. The perfor M
