KILLED BY THE CARS.

Albert Rhodes, a well-to.d do far.
mer living about five miles south
of Columbus, while crossing the
Memphis track two miles southeast
of Colombus, Saturday afternoon
at $40 o'clock. was run over by the
south-bound passenger and almost
instantly killed. Bolh of his legs
were broken and the back of his
head was crushed in His team and
colt were also killed and the wag.
on completely demolished. The
engineer reversed his engine as
soon as possible and backed his
train up about $50 yards to where
the accident occurred. The train
crew and a large lumber of passen-
gers jumped off and ran to the res
cue of the injured man. DR.. c. S.
Huffman of Columbus was among
the passengers and did what he
could for Mr.. Rhodes. but the latter
lived only few minutes after the
train struck him. 1t seems that he
had been to Columbus and was on
his return home. He seemingly
did not see or hear the train until
ii was close on to him, and having
fractions team, thought it better
to hurry across the track and get
away from the train. Jurt as he
was crossing the track he was seen
bw the engineer and fireman to
clap the horses with the lines and
hurry them on, but the engine
struck him with the fatal result al
ready recorded. The unfortunate
man was about 60 years of age. He
had lived in this county over twen-
ty years and was considered one of
the best men in the county. He
was a New Yorker. A wife and sew
eral grown children are left to
mourn his sad untimely taking off.
A coroner's inquest was held
Sunday. The jury returned a YER
dict generating the railroad COM
pany and it's employees.
The number of the engine that
caused the misfortunate affair, was
2, and in charge of Engineer Ste.
vens. The conductor in charge of
the train was Hickman.

MEMPHIS EMPLOYEES RESIGN.

MEMPHIS EMPLOYEES RESIGN.
The expectation and fear of the
Memphis employees that the return
of President Winchell from his trip
TO Texas with President Yoakum of
the 'Frisco the AK would begin to
fall, wac well founded. President
Winchell got back Tuesday morn
ing. and one of his first acts on
reaching his Office was to notify J.
E. Lockwood, general passenger
agent of the Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Memphis system, that his res
ignatiou would be accepted. The
resignation was forthcoming at
once and is effective June 30, says
the Kansas City Times.
1t was said at the offices of the
Memphis that J. d. Riddell, general
freight agent of the road, and Will
liam A. Nettleton, superintendent
of motive power and machinery,
had also been requested to write
their designations. Both these men
are out of the city, however, and re-
port could not be confirmed. Pres
ident Winchell would not confirm
or deny ii.
~ can not talk about the changes
at present." he said. II have moth
ing to do with retaining or dis
charging the employees of the Men,
phis under the consolidation. That
rests entirely with President Yoak-
um, and all information must come
through him. To me this is like
discussing funeral arrangements"
Mr.. Winchell was noticeably de-
pressed. 1t is clear that the faith
full servants of the Memphis who
will be cast adrift when the absorb
ton of that road by the Frisco is
an assured fact will have his sym.
pathy at least.
1t is supposed that Bryan Snyder,
at'present general passenger agent
of the Frisco, will hold that posi-.
ton under the consolidated system.
Mr.. Lockwood, when he steps down
and out on June 30, will terminate a
period of thirty.two years of con-
tinuous service with the Memphis
railroad. Re entered the employ of
the company in 1859 in the freight
department and afterward was sta.
ton agent at Olathe and Paola. At
present he has no plans for the fu.
ture except that he will take
lengthy vacation before seeking an
other location.
As the time for the elimination
of the Frisco Memphis deal draws
nearer it becomes more and more
apparent that what was at first sup
posed to be a consolidation or alli-
ance of two systems was in reality
an absorption, and that when the
assimilating process is complet not
even the name of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis road will
remain unless it be used to desig-
nate what will be the Memphis line
of the St. Louis and San francisco
system. That Kansas City might
resent the wiping out of a road that
had for years been it's friend and
the substitution for it of an alien
system that has always been re-
garded as the particular friend of
st. Louis. was foreseen by President
Yoakum and was the cause, it is
said. of his taking the trouble to
make personal calls on local busi-
ness men to assure them that the
Frisco would be as good a friend
to Kansas City as the Memphis had
been.

to insure perfect digestion and avoid
trouble.
But it is not generality known that
The Tablets are just as good and whole
some for little folks as for their eld-
ers.
Little children who are pale thin and
have no appetite, or do not grow or
thrive should use the tablets after
eating and will derive great benefit
from them.
Mrs. G. H. Crotsley, 53S Washington
St, Hoboken, New Jersey, writes:
"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the
bill for children as well as for older
folks. I've had the best of luck with
them. My threee-year- girl takes
them as readily as candy. l have only
to say tablets and she drops every
thing else and runs for them"
A Buffalo mother, a short time ago,
who despaired of the life of her babe,
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tablets that she
went before the notary public of Erie

affidavit:

Oldest of all those ancient buildings
are fortresses and pagodas. The ear
lier pagodas, however, were not the
"stone built towers and mansions with
a thousand pillars" mentioned in the
Rig Veda, but underground temples
hewn from the solid rock, under the
shadow of some lofty Eastern noun
tain. To this period (and perhaps most
ancient of alb belongs the famous
pagoda in the Island of Elephante,
near Bombay. Halfway toward the
mountain top a spacious hall, 120 feet
square, is hewn out of the heart of
the mountain. Massive pillars, finely
carved, are left here and there at reg

uated so advantageously that even In
these latter days it would be no mean
feat of arms to capture them by force.
DIR. Kennedy, who has given a life
time study to these matters, says the
only tools the Hindoo artisan used in
those gigantic undertakings were
small chisel and an iron mallet. The
chisel taDered to a fine round point,
and the face of the mallet had a deep

by no means probable that the Hindoo
stone cutters worked with any other
tools"

Charles w. Mathews, senior counsel

ury. He detailed three charges against
the prisoners, obtaining money under
false pretenses, procuring girls, and
rape. The offenses, said Mathews,
were committed by fraud unique in the
annals of crime. The Horoses es-
tablished a religious sect called

with loud screams of "False!'
