Mr.. Brown of Coffeyville Says MIR.

Independence, Kan. Aug. 22-I. E.
Brown, a carpenter of Coffeyville, fled
in the district court in Independence to-
day suit for $4,000 damages against
Maxim Smith for alternating the affec-
lions of the plaintiffs wife and breaking
up his home He makes a number of
sensational allegations in his petition.
Brown in his petition says that his
home was happy one until Smith APP
peared on the scene. The defendant
exerted undue and improper influence
over the wife of the plaintiff. and while
he was at work aleinated her affections.
He made many attempts to break up
the relations between the two and last
summer had a personal encounter with
the defendant. Finally, the petition con-
tinues, the defendant went to Balling-
ham, Washington, and induced the wire
of the plaintiff to follow him to that
city. She has refused to return and his
home was broken up.
For these and other charges made In
the petition Brown believes his injured
feelings could be partly soothed with a
Judgment for $4,000.

ARE ENFORCING THE Law.
No Let Up by Government Converning
Safety Appliance Act.

New Orleans, Aug. 22.-At the suR-
gestion Of Attorney General Bonaparte.
on request of the interstate commerca
commission, United States District At
torney Elstner has filed suit at Shreve-
port against the Kansas City Southern
railroad to collect 81 300 for IL alleged
violations of the safety appliance acts.
1t is charged that on interstate ship
ments the railroad operated cars with
hand-irons missing, while on others the
coupling apparatus was out of repair.
Railroad men believe that the company
will have to pay the 800 fine in each
case, as 1t will likely be impossible to
produce evidence showing that the law
WAS not violated.

At the headquarters of the commits

CUTS OUT ELEVATOR CHARGE.
Missouri Pacific Takes Important Step
on Reconsigned Grain Shipments.

Il
Wichita, Kan. Aug 22.-On and
after September 10 the Missouri Pa
cific railway will receive shipments of
grain for Wichita that may be recon-
signed to other points without going
through the elevator. In other words,
it means that there will be no elevator
charges on grain reconsigned at Wich-
ita. There is no doubt but that the
other roads will act promptly on this
new rate and make a similar reduc-
ton. This new rate will have consid-
cradle effect on grain shipments in
tended for export. and it is probable
that 1t is the manner in which the rail-
ways are Interpreting the decision of
the interstate commerce commission in
the suit brought by Attorneys A. E.
Helm and S. S. Ashbaugh of this city

railways.
What effect this new rate will have
on the local elevators is only a matter
of surmise- The local grain merchants
are large buyers and shippers of ex-
port grain by way of Texas coast
points and it is very likely they have
connections with elevators at those
points.

Morton reported to the police about nine
O'Clock at night that he had been held

Morton said he was on his road home
and had gone several blocks west on
Main street when two men stepped sud

his head blown off. A gun was showed
into his face and he had no chance to
defend himself Both the men talked
in broken language, but sufficiently
plain for Morton to understand. One Of
the robbers kept him covered with the
gun while the other searched his pockets.
AS soon as they got possession of the
gun and money the robbers turned and
ran down the street.

Do Bees Think?

Magazine, to show that bees have the
power Of thinking Transported to Cal

pletely alters her habits After one or
two years, finding that summer is per-
petual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey and pollen indis-
pensable for the days consumption );
and her recent and thoughtful observa-
ton triumphing over hereditary expe-
rience, she will cease to make provis-

an analogous fact: In Barbados, the

their visits to the flowers.

IN MEMORY OF ALMIGHTY.
Bv Rev. DR.. Falk Vidaver.

In everlasting remembrance shall the
righteous be held.-Psalms XII, 6.
Man lives not only in the present,
but also in the past. The days Of his
childhood belong to him even though
his hair has turned gray and his eyes
are closed. Heaven has endowed man
with the faculty of memory, which is
striking intimation, a foreshadow Of
Immortality. 1t enables him to behold
scenes long vanished, forms that for
years have ceased to be corporeal, to
hear sweet voices long hushed in death
The world has a memory wherein it
treasures up the lives and deeds OF
great men and women who have been
its lights and ornaments. The world
has a memory for those who proclaim
ed freedom to the oppressed, for its
scholars and poets, for its philanthro-
pists and benefactors. The memory of
such persons shines forth brightly like
stars of the first magnitude forever.
Every individual has a memory, and
IN it live a vast number of dear forms.
They emerge from far distant isles.

A Fine Shade Tree.

The tulip tree, one of the most orna-
mental of our shade trees, succeeds
we'll when transpanted after the leaf
buds begin to appear, but it is pretty
sure to fail if removed earlier. Such,
at least, is the reported experience OF
one who planted a row of them mile
long. the trees being six to eight feet
high, of which hardly one IN a hundred
was lost. Possibly, however, there was
something in the soil or situation which
gave him success, and the rule may
not work in all cases. The tulip is we'll
worth experimenting with, for when
grown it is a handsome, symmetrical
tree, with a peculiar leaf and beau
