MISSOURI PACIFIC SAYS NO.
Won't Handle Any Foreign Cars over
Its Line

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-The coal and
lumber companies and merchants who
receive large shipments of goods in
Kansas City, Kan, are protesting be-
cause the Missouri Pacific railroad has
put into effect an order that no for
eign cars billed over other than the
Missouri Pacific road will be set on
switch tracks owned by the Missouri
Pacific in that city. Shipments of
coal, lime and lumber have been com
ing in over other roads and held in
the railroad yards in Rosedale and this
city waiting to be transferred to the
Missouri Pacific and set on sidingS
owned by the Missouri Pacific near the
coal and lumber yards in Kansas City,
Kan The Missouri Pacific has refused
to accept these cars for transfer and in
several instances the coal, lumber
and lime had to be hauled several
miles in wagons. The Missouri Pacific
has been charging a switching fee of
IS a car for the transfer of cars to its
sidings, but it now refuses to accept
them at all.
In. sending out the new order the
road announced that Kansas City.
Kan, was in the Kansas City, Mo-
shipping district, and as no cars were
accepted for transfer for the Kansas
City, Mo, companies none would be
accepted for the Kansas City, Kan,
companies. The dealers in Kansas

lumber from companies along the Mis-
souri, Pacific system.
THE Missouri Pacific owns extensive
coal fields and is trying to get a. mon
opoly of the coal business in Kansas
City, Kan" said one of the coal deal
ers this morning. "It is not so bad on
us as it is on the lumber men. There
is certainly some way to force the COM
pany to accept cars for transfer over
it's line and we will take steps to force
it to do co.
1t was stated at the Office of E. A
Gould. general superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific system, this afternoon
that the order had been issued at the
instance of the traffic department of
the system.

BRIGHT'SN DISEASE

The spread of Bright's Disease is so

of the commonest symptoms is timely.
Puffiness of the eyelids or swelling of
the ankles or hands in the morning;
also dropsy in the abdomen.
The INSTRUCTED kidney increases the
blood pressure and the heart may be-
come involved and painful. This is
often attended with an asthmatic con-
disorder that has fingered longer than

chronic danger point, and that it can
Often in advanced cases there is no

Failing eyesight, drowsiness and

symptoms.
A pale, pasty complexion, with
weakness, is also to be regarded as
suspicious

He came to America in September,

shortly promoted and sent to Colu1fl-

he became chief draughtsman for the

Pennsylvania company for seventeen
years he accepted the position of me-
chanical engineer of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, which place he soon left
to take the same position with the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system.
The latter was just about reorganiz-
ing it's mechanical service and Mr.
Grafstrom's great talent entered
wholly and successfully into the work.
He was a member of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and
of the First Congregational church in
Topeka. His contributions to the lit

Nelson Would Fight Britt.

San Francisco, Aug. Billy Nolan,
manager of Battling Nelson, is back to
town from Truckee. The news that
Sam Berger's Western club had lost
its August permit caused Nolan to
make the trip. 1t is pretty well known
the country over that Nelson and
Britt are signed up for a fight this
month under the auspices of the West
ern club. Britt has said that if Ber-
ger could not get a permit he would
be in a position to discuss other
offers, most notably that of Jimmy
Coffroths for f1fty-round go in the
al fresco arena at Colma, the purse
being 100000. with $4,000 added for
moving picture privileges.
Nolan came to town to see if Britt
couId not be induced to either accept
that offer or any other offer which
will mean a fight. Britt is at Lake
Tahoe with Nat Goodwin. Britt's
manager and brother, Willie, is not on
speaking terms with Nolan.
Nelson will be ready to fight Britt
at any place and at any time, at any
weight and at almost any terms
Nelson will fight Britt in Britt's own
back yard, with Papa Britt as referee.
All Nelson wants is a chance at Britt"

strangers to him, people who were only
his friends, in the fact that they belong

IN A TANK OF OIL
Death Came to D. F. Chambers
by Asphyxiation.
Assistant Manager Ofthe South
western at Chanute.
WAS ONLY A FOOT DEEP
Went Down to See the Condition

First Death of the Kind Since
Oil Fields Started.
WAS ONLY A FOOT DEEP

Chanute, Kan, Aug. 5.-The body of
Dudley F. Chambers, treasurer and as
sistant general manager of the South
western Oil and Gas company, was
found floating in a tank of oil on the
Burghardt lease six and a half miles
east of town Friday afternoon at 4
O'Clock. He went to the lease to look
after the delivery of some oil, and hours
after his arrival he was missed. Search
was made and the body was found
floating in one of the tanks.
There was only a foot of oil in the
tank at the time. The tank had been
covered over with tar paper. Chambers
had broken through this and gone down
on a ladder inside the tank to see how
much oil there was at the bottom. 1t
is supposed he became asphyxiated by
the gas fumes arising from the oil and
was drowned while unconscious This
is the first death due to asphyxiation
from oil gas in the field. All of the
other officers of the Southwestern Oil
and Gas company are out of the city
He was 30 years old and leaves a widow
and one child.

GARDNER-TURNER BOUT.
Jimmy Won in Eleventh Round by a
Smashing Right.

Colma, Cal, Aug. 5.-The largest
crowd by far in the history o. the
Golden State Athletic association
crowded the pavilion here last evening
to witness the scheduled 25 round
contest between Jimmy Gardner and
RUFF Turner. Gardner won the fight
in the first three seconds of the eiev-
enth round with q terrific right to the
body. Turner showed to the better
advantage in the first two rounds only.
After that the fight was all Gardner's.
In the fourth round he made Turner
look like a novice. Turner took a
brace in the seventh round and prac-
tically evened matters up, but it was
only temporarily. During the fight
Gardner displayed remarkable clever
ness in ducking and blocking. Turner
was unable to reach him with any
effective blows. At the conclusion. of
the tenth round Turner went to the
floor after receiving several hard
rights on the body and was saved
for the time being only by the bell.
When the bell tapped for the eIev-
enth round Turner came up groggy
and Gardner rushed over to Turngr's
corner and Sended matters with ter
rife right clean to the wind. There
was considerable roughing all through
the ten rounds.

been completed and is now on exhlbl-
ton in the engraving rooms of Chi
caeo firm by which it was made. The
many friends of the heroic engineer
have made the tablet possible by their
subscriptions and contributions to the
memorial fund.
The facts in the case need but be
briefly mentioned as most everyone in
Topeka is familiar with the incident
of Mr.. Grafstroms death The Rail
way Age says of Mr.. Grafstrom:
He was chief mechanical engineer OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way In June, 1908, when the Kansas
river swept over North Topeka thou
sands of people were imprisoned in up
per stories of houses, on ROOFS, IN trees
and in similar places of refuge Mr.
Grafstrom designed G. relief boat and
it was built under his direction. Pro-
visions, means of assistance, neces-
saries of all kinds were carried to
North Topeka and the boat brought
back hundreds of survivors. AT the
very conclusion of the work. on the
night of June 2, when there were no
more to be saved, the boat started
back without a load and without bal
last Striking a strong whirl of water
it became uncomfortable, struck
submerged tree and was upset. The
crew saved themselves by catching TO
treetops, but Mr.. Grafstrom, though a
powerful swimmer, was lost. He had
been working with extraordinary d11-
gence. without sleep for several days,
and was nearly exhausted. 1t may
have been this, or that he was struck
by some part of the boat as it over
turned He died as the result of de-
voting his great skill and his mag
nificent strength to the work of saw
ing the lives of his fellow citizens.

let, Edward Grafstrom was born at

To Use Craig uterine Ticket.

Albuquerque, Aug. 5.-Following
the example of a number of eastern
roads the Southern Pacific has adopt
ed the Craig interline ticket, which ac-
ton is likely to lead to similar action
on the part of other southern and
western lines. In appearance the
Craig ticket resembles an ordinary
railroad folder, with the exception that
it is smaller. The advantage is that
the ticket can be used over every rail-
road in the United States and at the
end will show the exact route followed
and over What lines it was taken The
ticket is stamped by the agent selling
it, who, with a punch, outlines the en-
tire route. AS the passenger leaves
one Tine and takes another the con-
ductor removes his coupon, leaving a
stub to show the distance travelled over
that line The last conductor takes up
what is left of the ticket, which is
really a complete record OF the entire

KANSAS GIRL TO RUSSIA.
Marriage of Miss Duncan of Abilene
Takes Her Far Away.

Takes Her Far Away.
Abilene, Kan, Aug. 5.-The Reflector
says:
On Monday next Miss Myrtle Dun
can of West Third street will leave for
New York city whence she sails on the
18th of the present month for London.
This is not an extraordinary an
nouncement, but it has rather more
than ordinary interest as additional
particulars will reveal.
Miss Duncan's home was recently in
Delphos, Ottawa county. where she has
lived most of her life. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Duncan,
Mr. Duncan being one of the best
known stockmen and implement men in
that part of the state. The DuncanS
moved to Abilene only few months
age.
While living in Delphos Miss Duncan
met and became acquainted with Mr..
w. j. Weiland, a representative of the
International Harvester company, and
it is because of this acquaintance that
she goes to England at this time. Mi
Weiland has been in Russia in the in
terestS of his firm for several years,
making an occasional return visit to
this country at rare intervals. He ex-
pected to have had a vacation this pres
ent season, but business reasons pre-
vented Mr. Weiland's headquarters
are in Odessa, Russia, the scene of SO
much disturbance during the last few
months, and one of the handsomest and
most progressive cities in Russia. On
account of the disturbances in that
country and for other business reasons
the wedding of these young people has
been postponed from time to time I'M
til as given above, Miss Duncan Will
reach London somewhere about the Goth,
where she will be met by Mr.. Weiland,
and they will be married and after a
tour of the continent will go to their
new home in Odessa for a stay of at
least two years before business will
permit a journey to this country.
