Young Lady Operator Killed.

Miss Myrtle S. Long, night tel
egrapher operator at Riverside. a
block signal station about five miles
west of Las Animas. received injur-
les by being struck by Santa Fe
train No. $50 about noon last Sat
urday which resulted in her death
an hour and half later. few min
utes after the train pulled into La
Junta.
No one knows just how the acci-
cent did occur. The young lady was
walking along the track between the
signal tower and the house where
the operators make their home as
the stub train passed running at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. 1t is
presumed that she was closer to the
track than she supposed, and that
the suction from the swiftly moving
train drew her towards the engine.
her dress becoming entangled in The
siderods. The right leg of the un-
fortunate girl was broken between
the knee and the hip and there was
great bruise just back of the left
ear. The train was stopped. and
the young lady. who never regained
consciousness. was placed in the bag
gage car. She breathed her last
about 1:40 p. m, few minutes af-
ter the arrival of the train in this
city.
Myrtle S. Long was a native Of
Doniphan. Mo. where her parents
still reside, and at the time of her
death was aged 2l years, 3 months
and II DAYS. The body was shipped
last Sunday night to her former
home in Missouri.

Dodge CITY Ospopuisteo.

Dodge City. in Ford county. is go-
ing to be almost depopulated the
next week or so. if the plans of busi-
ness men pan out, according to DR..
J. S. Crumhinc, secretary of the
state board of health, who returned
from Dodge City, Saturday. says a
dispatch from Topeka to the Denver
Post. Nearly all the business men
in town signed a petition agreeing TO
practically close up their stores and
let all their men clerks go to the har-
vest fields until the wheat is in the
shock or stacked.
The situation is critical in that
community" said DR.. Crumbine.
The farmers meet every train and
offer all sorts of inducements to
every man on the train to stop and
help harvest. The wheat is ripen-
ing fast these not days. and there
are no men to help harvest.
Chalk Beeson. representative
from that county. has made prop.
osition to the division superintendent
of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
there and has later taken it up with
j. f. Hurley. general manger of the
company. to have all the shopmen.
track walkers and train crews laid
off except those absolutely necessary
| to operate the trains with safety.
and let these men go into the har-
vest fields.
Yesterday George Goberty, Con-
gresham f. II. Madison's private
secretary, started out with peti-
ton among the business men asking
that all men employees be laid off
during the harvest and let these
men go into the fields at once. This
petition is being generally signed.
and | was told that several business
houses had ordered signs to be
posted today. The sign reads:
Closed during harvest.
Real estate and other offices are
also being closed and the men are
going to the harvest fields.
The wheat in the county is good
this year. and there is larger
acreage than in any former year.
The wheat is much better than was
expected ard there are no men to
harvest it.
The shortage of men is marked
throughout the wheat belt of Kan
sas.

,.m.. New w.,., supply Tested.

Samples of water from the pro-
posed source Of supply at Clay creek
were sent out to several points for
analysis, and report on the water
was received this week from w. A.
Powers. the chief chemist Of the
Santa Fe. who tested the water es-
pecially with view of determining
its value for boiler use. Mr.. Pow
ers' conclusion was that while the
water would have to be treated. it
was far better than any water along
the line Of the road in Colorado, and
he believed that if the city could de-
velop a supply in the quantities
hoped for it would pay the railroad
to use this water exclusively and
abandon its present lls.--Lamar

more pounds aud has thick yellow

south sea Islanders. They seldom eat

lies between the rind and the core and
when fully ripe .s yellow and juicy.
II is better for fruit before II has fully
mafured. and the natives gather II
while the pulp is white.
Before IL is ready for table use II
must be roasted. when II looks Ike

On the Rack,

The expression putting witness
on the rack" has an ancient origin.
The courts had an unpleasant way of
putting refractory or unsatisfactory
witness on the rack. which was an
open wooden frame. upon which was
laid the victim. His wrists and ankles
were tied to two rollers ut opposite
ends OF the frame. The rollers were
then moved with levers until the ten
sion caused the body TO rise level with
the frame. and then questions were
addressed To the witness. III he still
proved silent or II his memory needed
refreshing the rollers were moved
slowly until the wretch's bones started

Marshal Weineke. however, was
wise and played waiting game. He
notified all of the trainmen to be on
the lookout and then proceeded to
ride the train out as far as the yard
limits. Right north of Matt Dan

face along the ground. The train
was stopped and Mrs. Miller" got
off and accompanied her husband to
