10 SAVE CHILD's LIFE.

save the little ones life DR.. Preist. OF

Zee freight by which he would come was
already over an hour late. A special

seemed nothing to do but wait, when
each moment semed freighted with a
life How glad was everybody, how
great the relief. when a Santa Fe en-

came hurrying in. before any trains
We're due, with the surgeon aboard.
How did it hapDen2 Simple enough.
The railroad authorities We're informed,
and the chief dispatcher at Newton or
dered the freight engine to take the
caboose and get DIT. PRIEST to CORTLAND
in the shortest possible time. And this
was done by a .'soulless cOrpO<atiOn,' %
not for money. for they got none: not
for possible political influence, but just
to help in trying to save the life of the
child of a humble Republic county
farmer. Oh. it is a mistake to call the
railroads of Kansas soulless. they have
a great soul. quick to hear and heed the
cry of distress and suffering The same
railroads that in bygone years brought
relief to the sufferers by drouth and
grasshoDDers today have d sympathy
that res ches out to even a little child.

eLurrEp w1TH GRAIN.
Special Rate Made to Clear the Omaha
Market.

After considerable opposition western
traffic men yesterday consented to allow
Omaha a differentia1 of 4 cents above
Kansas City on a. proportional through
rate from that city to the gulf to apply
on grain. The rate, it is said. will be
taken out on May 10. and permits wheat
to move from Omaha to the gulf for q
cents and corn for 20 cents. Lines that
were promoting the rate insisted that
it had become necessary for the purpose
of clearing out Omaha. which is said to
be glutted with grain. The Nebraska
lines were against the proposition, pre-
sumably because they preferred to car
~ the grain east to Chicago rather than
to have it taken into Omaha on local
rate and then to the gulf.
OMAHA DENIES IT.
Omaha, April 23.-Local railroad and
elevator men say that Omaha Will find
no profit in the differential of cents
above Kansas City on proportional
through grain rate from here to the
gulf if the rate is to stand only until
May IA. They say there is no grain in
the elevators here or at Council Bluffs

The strenuous American game
of football, the game Of Drawn

will make it's initial bow to the
local world of sport in Bemidi at
the fair grounds tomorrow after
noon when the newly organized
team Of this city will contest for
supremacy over the team from
Grand Rapids, one of the fastest
in this section, and when the

futter in triumph or grovel in
defeat
There are games and games in
this city but football will not be
added to the list until tomorrow
and there is vast deal of inter
est in tomorroW's event. Be
cause the game has never been
played in Bemidji it does not
necessarily follow that there are
no enthusiasts. Quite the CON
trary is the case and the indica-
tons are that when the struggle
starts there will be a. we'll filled
grand stand and bleachers of
war horses who will hang on
every play and every turn of the
game with all the vim and red
fire that makes a football game
spectacular.
Can the home team hope to

and reported that in his Judgment it
will be impossible for her to make
her way down the Mississippi till
next spring unless an unexpected and
unreasonable flood rise occurs.
Some of the vessels crew will be
transferred to other warships in the
east and those remaining on the
Arkansas will put in the summer
and fall in the comprehensive drills
which will probably make the boat
an object of attraction to the west
ern people. The Arkansas was
finally accepted by the acting Sec
rotary of the navy yesterday.
Col Mckenzie, of the engineers
corps, who for many years was on

to get the Arkansas down to Cairo
said 1t would depend on whether or
not there was June rise" of the

the low water stage is six feet and
even below Cairo the river often
