from 1t was the famous Robert Straw

Maryland farmhouse he used the Dul-
pit which had been made for this oc-

fastened to the pulpit pillars formed
the reading desk on which was spread

twenty people, but such was its ef.

CORPSE HIS COMPANION.
Salina Man Drove Two Hours With
Brothers Body Beside Him.

SaIina, Kan, Dec. 27.-After driving
for two hours with the dead body of
his brother by his side in a small bug
gy, trying in vain to get some one to
assist him to town with his charge,
Leon Stevenson, a young man whose
home is here, but who is employed IN
Kansas City, Kan, as Dill clerk. at
last found a farmer who was not
afraid to sit beside a corpse and drive
it to town several miles this morning
The story is a sad one. Leon Steven
son came here from Kansas City Sat
urday to spend the holidays with his
widowed mother and his brothers. He
and one brother, Clayton, aged Is,
started early Monday morning for the
Saline valley to spend the day hunting
After they had remained for time
they decided they would come home,
went to the buggy and had climbed
in. Leon was but a few steps from the
vehicle when he heard the report OF
his brothers gun. He ran. to the
buggy, where he found his brother
dead. The gun had slipped from the
buggy and had fallen to the ground,
being discharged as it fell. The charge
had entered the boys mouth and death
was instantaneous.
The distracted brother climbed into
the buggy and started for a farm
places, but the sight of the dead body
of the boy frightened the women who
answered his call and they ran into the
houses. After awhile he found a farm
err who took charge of the body, and
he was driven to town to tell his
mother. Clayton Stevenson was in the
high school here.

Kansas City. Dec. 27.-A north

ed into an east bound Quindaro boule-
ward car at Tenth and Wyandotte
streets at 1920 o'clock last night. The
Quindaro car was well filled with pas
sengers bound for their homes in Kan
sas City, Kan. The impact of the car
threw many of the passengers from
their seats and the crash of breaking
glass and splintered wood brought a
good sized crowd to the scene. Several
passengers were cut by glass. The
worst injured We're r. Wulfert, 1914

The train crew on the Southwest
boulevard car were: H. c. Knox. con-
ductor, and D. F. O'Connor, motor
man. They stated that the accident
was caused by "sweaty" rails. They
claimed the brakes refused to take
hold of the rails and that the mo-
mentum of the car carried it into the
Quindaro car. The injured passengers
were given medical attention by DR..

Missouri Pacific Earnings.

1t is possible that Missouri Pacific

nearly as large as in 1903. The sur
plus in 1903 was equal to 81 per cent
on the stock.
During the first part of the present
year net earnings showed heavy losses,
which together with the increase in
fixed charges resulted in a loss in sur

BAN ON CELLULoID COLLARS.
Santa Fe Railroad Issues Orders to
Passenger Trainmen

Passenger ITainmen.
Hereafter any passenger conductor or
brakeman of the Atchison Topeka G,
Santa F'e railroad caught wearing a cell
luloid collar will be severely dealt with
by officials of the road, and if he should
commit this awful offense more than
once his job would be endangered. E.
A. Austin. trainmaster of the Santa Fe,
at Topeka, has decided that such prac-
tees lower the standing of the train
men and give the road a bad reputa-
ton. He will see that they are stopped.
He has just sent out notices to all the
trainrnen, as follows:
My attention has recently been call
ed to the fact that some of our passen-
ger trafnmen are wearing rubber and
celluloid collars. This is a practice that
the management will not permit, and
you viii be governed accordingly"
The Santa Fe has been issuing other
rules recently with a view to having
the mems appearance as neat as posi-
Die. while on passenger duty, and each
one is required to have at least two
uniforms a year, and the company re-
serves the right at any time to tell a
man whether or not his clothes look
well enough to wear on duty.
But the new rule relating to collars
has caused mOurnful looks on some of
the men, who have found it very con-
Venient in the past to walk to the wash
room and make their rubber or cellu-
loid collars clean and ready to wear
again, while now they will be forced to
carry extra collars on the trip with
them and pay larger laundry bills each
week
