There appears to be new iole in
chicken thievery in this city by
which the fowls disappear by de-
grees, as mysteriously as under the
wand OF o magician, each morning
finding more room on the roest and
fewer fowls at the feed. Whether
the marauder supposes that the loss
comes easier to the victim by the
single exit or whether he does not
believe in buying grain is a con-
lecture. The dwindlmg in the
number of chickens from forty to
three in coop in the city, howev-
er, is sufficient to indicate that the
method of abduction is successful
one.
Death surrounded by extremely
sad circumstances was that of Mr..
Clemens Kramer of Lexington,
Oklahoma, which occurred at Win

by telegram, Mr.. Kramer was on

funeral Of his brother, the late Mr..
Frank Kramer. When the train had
nearly reached Kansas City he was
stricken with paralysis and pur-
chasing a return ticket he was en-
deavoring to reach home. When ar
riying at Winfield, Kansas, his con
dition had become such that he
was compelled to abandon the. trip
and he was taken to hospital FOR
medical assistance He had lapsed
into unconscionsness and the efforts
Of several physicians were unable to
restore him and he passed away on
the day of the funeral of his broth
er held in this city. In the mean
time his whereabouts were unknown
to his relatives here or his family,
and an exchanging of kilograms led
to an investigation that established
the certainty of the fears entertained
by the family The remains were
taken to his home at Lexington,
where the funeral was held on Nov.

of invention and also by the changes which
are taking place in traffic conditions.
Broadly speaking" said Mr.. Potter, sit
is probable that, taking into consideration
the many different electric schemes now
developed and being developed, there are
few steam roads which would not find the
partial identification Of their lines, and in
some the entire electriication, a profitable
undertaking. To what extent such equip
ment is justified is rather a financial con-
sideration than one involving technical
difficulties. Not only is the amount Of
capital invested in steam railroad rolling
stock a point to be considered, but also
the expense Of electrical equipment. At
the same time it must be remembered
that although electrifcation involves a
greater capital outlay, it Is cheaper to
operate and maintain, and what is more i'm
portant, it is capable Of earning a greater
percentage of interest on invested capital.
Electric traction is peculiarly adapted
to suburban and interurban railways. and
the general increase in this class Of traffic
has been enormous since the inauguration
of the electric service. tn old city limits
in vogue when the street railways were
operated by horse traction and the sub
urban lines by steam locomotives are limits
no longer. Through the entire country
we find electrically operated suburban
