Four Relatives to Ohio.


John Brown, a farmer, who lives be-
tween Wichita and Valley Center, was in
the city yesterday to consult with Major
W. w. Minick, who is a member of the
state board of health. The occasion of
Mr. Browns trip was to procure per-
nit from the state board of health to
cxhume and convey to another state four
bodies of relatives who were buried, some
Of them, as long as f1fteen years ago.
The bodies will be taken to College Cor
ner. Ohio, for interment. The place is
the former home of the Brown family.
Some were born there and lived near
that place the greater part of their lives
About eighteen years ago numerous
members of the family came to Kansas.
One died at Anthony and is buried there.
Three others of the family died and are
buried at Winfield. Mr.. Brown proposes
to bury the four bodies altogether at
College Corner.
In order to exhume and move the bodies
of his relatives. it is necessary that
Brown first obtain permit to do so from
the state board OF health The certifi-
Gates of the persons who died. made at
the tine of their death, must be pro-
Guccd and passed on by the board. IL
The death of each person resulted from
a contag gious disease, it is possible that
the request to remove the body may be
refused If such is not the case and
no contagious disease caused the death
OF the person, then the arrangements
may be made readily.
Mr. Brown, so far as he knows now.
will have his arrangements complete and
will start the first part of next week
for Ohio with the four bodies

The object OF this proposed society is

Not Enough Cars.

The Railroad Commission of Mis-
sissippi is in receipt of numerous COM
plants from cotton factors, merchants
and shippers generally that they are
unable to obtain sufficient cars from
the railroads to move the cotton crop,
and the car famine is causing much
annoyance an delay in the interior
movement of the staple. The COM
plants are especially frequent from
along the line of the Southern Rail
way. Nearly all the railroa In are
putting forth their best efforts 10
move the crop, some of them having
placed fat cars and gondola cars in
service for this purpose. The early
picking of the crop is one of the chi Ell
causes of delay, the general marketing
being much sooner than expected.
