houses, yards tracks, etc, settling all
questions as to the intention of MAX
ing that place the future division
point. In talking with Mr.. Cole last
week who was in Hill City on business
he stated that this change was to be
pushed rapidly and that orders had
been issued to take up the track be-
tween Colby and Oakley and lay it
west to Sharon Springs, the new di-
vision point. II will be noticed that
the connecting line between Colby and
Oakley is sort of back track and
traverses entirely Union Pacific terri
tory and gets no business that the two
lines proper would not get. 1t is plain
that this connecting link was put in
only as an emergency and that now it
is to be removed, is only natural. BY
going west from Colby it will divide
the territory with the Rock Island and
at the same time run into a main di-
vision point and will give a through
traffic over the Salina branch. And
again this may mean q greater impor-
lance will be given to through traffic
by routing it over the line. The di-
vision change will nearly ruin Chey-
enne Wells and the track exchange
Will injure Oakley to some extent. But
both changes will be a good thing for
Sharon Springs and ought to make it
a great little city.

SUE HEINZ 6 co.
Creditors File an Involuntary Petition
in Bankruptcy.

New York. Oct 21.-An involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed in the
United States district court today
against the firm of Otto Heinz & Co.,
brokers, whose suspension from the
stock exchange was announced last
week after they had refused to accept
a block of United Copper stock pur-
chased for them by the firm of Gross
& Kleeberg.
The petitioning creditors are William
H. Robotham as assignee of the firm
of Goss & Kleeberg, with a claim of
S325,3 Leo Wise, who has an assign
ed claim from Edward V. Brokaw, in
the sum of 60 cents, and Frank A. Bra
naby. who has an assigned claim from
Herzfield & Stearn for 81 9O1. They al
lege that Otto Heinz & Co, made
preferential payments to the Mercan-
tile National bank of $4,000, 900 of
assigned securities and also other
preferential payments which aggrega-
ted about 100000 1t is also alleged
that valuable securities were assigned
to F. Augustus Heinze and Arthur P.
Heinze to secure antecedent indebted
ness and because of an anticipated sus-
pension of the firm by the stock ex-
change. Argument on appointment of
a receiver was postponed until We'd
nesday.
The clearing house committee at a
meeting held today at the Mercantile
National bank advised the acceptance
of the designations of eight directors of
the bank. This was done and five new
directors were selected. The other va
cancies will be filled later.

WANT CLEAN THEATERS.
DIR. Crafts Says That as Well as SUN

DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts superintend-
ent of the International Reform Blu
reau, with its headquarters at Wash
ington, d. c., devoted most of his
time at his scheduled lecture on 'Liv-
ing and Dying Nations at the First
Baptist church Sunday afternoon to
telling of the work that was being
prosecuted by the bureau of which he
is the head. Incidentally, an oppor-
tunity was offered to the large audi
ence of men present to subscribe for
the support of this bureau.
This lecture was held under the au-
spices Of the Y. NJ. C. A and Mr.
George Lerrigo, the secretary of the
association, presided over the cere-
monies incident to it.
ANY American mayor" said Dr.
Crafts. already has enough authority
to shut out any play that may be
scheduled for his city or wipe out any
oillboards that may offend decency.
I'VE want more than the closing of
theaters on Sunday because of their
sabbath breaking. We want to clean
the theaters. We don't want to stop
with the Sunday closing proposition
AS a matter of fact I believe that ten
heaters work more harm than ten sa-
oons. They are generally afternoon
Ind evening schools of vice. Most
plays produced in them hinge on two
principal things, that crime is heroic |
Ind impurity is great We should NOT |
,nly fight Sunday theaters but all |
heaters and plays which break not |
'nly the laws of God but those of i'm

the strikers went out in one day and
left the railway in a demoralized con-
dition.
For over a month the company had
trouble in filling the positions of the
strikers. As is usual when a body of
strike-breakers is sent in to fill other
positions a number of incompetent
men are tried. For some time these
men caused trouble, and train dis
patchers were on the anxious seat
whenever an order was sent to one
of them. But gradually the new con-
dition Strengthened itself out; the new
men became adapted to the work and
the strikers went to hunt work else
where. 1t was a strike almost like
the one which was general all over
the country-the points at issue were
about the same, and the effect was
nearly the same.
Three years expired during which
the railway company and the Order
of Railway Photographers were at outs.
All telegraphers who were members
of the order were instructed to take
no work with the unfair company.
The Katy went under the rule that
any telegrapher would be employed II
he We're competent, no matter what
his Affiliations might be, and a gener-
al wage scale was paid, although II
was different than the one demanded
by the order.

A Letter She Had Written In

Winfield, Kan. Oct. 21-Miss Grace
Carr, young lady Is years of age,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Carr,
living east of town, prepared to jump
from the Ninth avenue bridge into the
Walnut river, at noon but was pre-
vented by George McGinn, a farmer,
who lives west of town and who was
returning home with an empty wagon
When he drove onto the bridge, he
noticed a girl out upon the pier in the
middle of the bridge on the north side
He hallooed to her. but could not at
tract her attention, so he tied his team
and went out on the pier to her. Miss
Carr had removed her shoes, hat and
outer wraps. and was just ready to
take the fatal leap. which would end
her life.
Mr.. McGinn spoke to her, but could
elicit no response, so took hold of her
and dragged her back upon the bridge
ana then sent for help. police call
was turned in and J. T. McFall took
Sheriff Day to the bridge at once.
Miss Carr was taken to the Jail and
her parents sent for. She was exam
ined by DR.. Hall. who said that she
showed slight evidence of both NOR
phine and strychnine poisoning and
seemed to be mentally unbalanced. She
refused to speak to anyone at the Jail
and the only words she uttered We're to
back onto the bridge. that if he knew
how they were after her, he would
let her jump into the river.
After she was taken to the Jail. r. |
B. Bird gave a letter to the sheriff, |
which was written by Miss Carr, and |
which Mr.. Bird had found near the |
West ward school house, on his way |
back from dinner. In the letter she |
intimated her intention of committing |
suicide and said to ask Pete" or
Owen the reasons.
1t was learned that the Owen re-
ferred to was Owen Bailey, a stepson
of n. Bonestell. with whom Miss Carr
had been in love for some time, but
which love was not wholly reciprocal
ted.
Last week Bailey went to Arkansas
City and Miss Carr followed him there.
They came back to Winfield, and they
had a quarrel. in which she returned
to him a ring which he had given her.
At the Jail Miss Carr showed plainly
that she was mentally unbalanced.
In 1908, upon complaint of her father
Miss Carr was adjudged incorrigible
and taken to the Girls Industrial school
