Chanute Kan, July 30.-Chas.D. Rey-
nolds, 624 South Highland, machinist
at the Santa F'e shops, was badly scald-
ed about the face and neck just before
the quitting hour last night. He was
working about an engine which had

is IT THE FR1sooP
Yoakum Said to Have Bought Rail-
road from Gould.

Helena, Ark, July 30.-A persistent
rumor in railroad circles here today is
to the effect that the Arkansas Midland
railroad has been purchased from the
Goulds by the Frisco system. The
Midland runs from Helena to Claren-
don and Brinkley, and was formerly
owned by Helena capitalists. being sold
two years ago to the Missouri Pacific
system. 1t is believed that the sale or
the Arkansas Midland to the Frisco is
a part of the agreement of the Gould
and Frisco interests relating to joint
use of the new tracks south of Mem
ohis.
The Frisco has had surveying parties
in the field for several months, and the
lines located would interfere seriously
with the line now under construction,
tapping nearly every important point
being touched by the Gould system. 1t
has also been rumored that the Frisco
would build a line from Palestine, on
the Choctaw, to Helena and Mariana,
thus again coming in competition with
the Missouri Pacific system at both
these points. BY the sale of the Mid
land the Goulds have done away with
the possibility of competition from
parallel line down the west bank of
the river. The Gould line began at
Latour. in this county, while the
Frisco's projected line was from MARI

Frisco Common Stock Is No Longer
on Market.

New York, July 30.-The announce
ment by the New York stock exchange
TODAY that the common stock of the
St Louis & San Francisco will be
stricken from the list was explained
by an official of the road as meaning
that the owners of that stock must in
the future depend upon private sales.

shareholders were recently offered
Rock Island securities in exchange
the consolidation was effected on a
basis of go per cent. of Rock Island com
mon stock and so per cent of 5 per cent
ten-year bonds for the common shares
Of Frisco held. 1t has never been an
nounced what percentage of the Frisco
stock was turned over to the Rock Is
land management. However. enough
was delivered to insure the success of
the combination.
Action was taken by the New York
exchange today, it was said, under the
rule that any stock shall be stricken
rom the list when a report by anv
member is made that less than Is per
cent. of the issued securities of a com
pany are outstanding. The securities
of Rock Island exchanged for the com
mon stock of Frisco have been listed
on the exchange.

Dunkard Preacher Follows the Bibli-
cal Injunction.

York, Pa. July 3O.-Nearly 1000 peo-
pie heard Rev Jacob Kurtz preach from
the roof of his two-story mansard roof
house last night. Mr.. Kurtz has for

injunction that the Gospel shall be
proclaimed from the housetops."
His subject was 1.-The Right Thing,
Right Time and Right Way" He open
ed the services with a hymn and asked
the people to join in the chorus. WHICH

ing plea that somebody would help

ing the country on traction engine
with two large wagons, one lunch
house and the other a meeting house.

PARDONS A FILIPINO.
The President Extends Clemency to
Brown Brother

Washington. D. c., July So.-President
Roosevelt has pardoned Emilio Villamor,
a prominent Filipino, who in December,
1900, was sentenced to be hanged for
murder. This sentence was afterward
commuted to ten years imprisonment
Villamor was a member of an insurgent
band operating in Luzon. They cap
tured Marcelo Gadung, native cor
poral of police, who. in addition to being
a corporal acted as a spy for the Amer
lean navy and this fact was generally
known On one occasion while within the
enemy's lines he was captured, tried
by court martial for being spy, con-
Victed and shot.
Villamor was an officer of the insur-
gent army and was on the court mar
tial that tried and disposed of Gadung.
1t was for this that Villamor was tried
and sentenced. He has served a term
of nearly three years. His pardon was
recommended by army officers and the
secretary of war ON the ground that
Villamor's offense was really political
and that he was entitled to a pardon
under the presidential amnesty of July
4. 1902 The president has approved the
recommendation.

southeast to Colorado and the west. The
lines out of Birmingham, Ala, have an
nounced an excursion round trip rate to
Colorado common points for August Is
