Striking Her.
What came near being a fatal acct
dent befen Miss Mary Tully, daughter
of Mark TuIly, the well known indie
pendence man, as she walked along
a new building which was being erect
ed at Baldwin, where she attends
Baker university.
The accident was caused by a
workman accidentally displacing a
portion of a brick wall about two and
one-half feet high and in course of
construction. One OF the men kicked
the bricks while the mortar was still
fresh and a portion of them fell to
the street, several feet below, just as
Miss Tully was passing.
She was struck by some OF the
falling brick and knocked senseless to
the ground. Help was at hand, and
the unfortunate young lady was
quickly carried to a store and physi-
clans summoned. An examination
revealed the fact that three large
gashes had been cut in her head,
necessitating several stitches. In ad-
dition to the injuries to the head her
shoulder was badly cut and dis
jointed.-Coffeyville Journal.

At the recent meeting of the Trans
continental Passenger association in
Chicago, which was attended by ". ].
Black, general passenger traffic man man,
ager of the Santa Fe, it was decided
that the railroads will continue to col
Iect from $4,000 to $50 900 a year for

An effort was made at the meeting to
discontinue the practice of making
very low rates for the educational or
ganization and adding to the price of

l1rer of the national association.
The heads of that organization have
always contended that they could not
maintain it unless they received a
large amount in cash from the rail-
roads. AS from $4,000 to 10000 persons
have taken advantage Of the low rates
made in the past two years on ac-
count of the annual meeting of the as

of $500 was spurned although it was
more than was paid to other roads,
proportionately. When the commits
sion threatened to issue an emergency
