Four Pigs Adopted bx DOG.

James Dunlop, of this village, has
female shepherd dog that recently
lost her litter of four pups. For sew
eral days she was distracted over her
loss, and her owner was afraid she
would die. She refused to eat, and
spent most of the time lying in the
yard whining pitifully.
Now about the same time that the
puppies died there was an increase in
the family of one of the sows on the
Dunlop place. The SOW died short
" after her pigs were born,
and Mr. Dunlop began to raise the or
phans on a milk bottle. They thrived
very well, but seemed to miss their
mother as much as the shepherd dog
missed her offspring. So Mr.. Dunlop
tried an experiment.
He carried the three little Jersey
red pigs out to the dogs house and
called to her. She stood back at first
sight of the strangers in her bed, but
presently she nestled down beside
them as If they were her own.
BY the next day she had become so
attached to them that to make up a
full family she journeyed over to a
neighbor's house and soon came back
with another small pig and adopted it

THE GAS SHORTAGE.
Kansas City Has Her Heating Trou-
bIes, Too.

Kansas City, Jan. 12.-"The gas sup
ply is short, and doubtless will remain
short as long as the cold lasts" said
A. B. Macbeth, chief engineer of the
gas company.
There is little to cheer the shfvering
gas users. AS an actual fact, the
amount of natural gas piped to Kansas
City Monday was less than one-half
the amount needed to supply the de-
mand. The proof of this is to be found
in the record of the pressures at the
two distributing stations of the Kansas
City Gas company. At one of these
stations the gauge showed a pressure
of eight to five pounds during the
morning While at the other the pres
sure fell to one pound and stayed
there. To give adequate service a
minimum pressure of ten pounds is
necessary at these stations

IT'S A BIG SUCCESS.
Ownership of Waterworks by Kansas
City Proves Profitable.

kansas City, Jan. 12.-The revenues
from the waterworks for the fiscal
year ending next April are expected to
reach sSOO,OOO. The cost of operation
last year was about 100000. There is
no special reason for any material in
crease in operating expenses this year.
That would mean 100 per cent profit
over the cost of operation.
There is a charge against this profit
of a small sum for the interest on
about million dollars of bonds, a
large part of which have been bought
in by the city and placed in the sink
ing fund to save the interest.
Since the city has owned the plant

RAILROAD NEWS.
There Will Be No Advance Made
in Interstate Rates.
Prevalent Rumor Denied by
Passenger Officials.
ARE NOT PRACTICAL.
Tourists Could Reduce Tariffs
sby Buying and Rebuying.
Other Items OF Interest in Rail-
way Circles.
ARE NOT PRACTICAL.

Rumors announcing that the pas
senger fares for interstate traffic
would be advanced to two and one
half cents mile, for journeys through
the states which have two cent rate,
are not credited among the local pas
senger officials although they have ac-
| quired a large circulation.
The changes that have been rumor-
! ed extend from st. Louis and Chicago
to the Pacific coast. According to the
plan these rates of two and one-half
cents mile will be charged only for
interstate journeys, and that no effort
for the time being will be made to
| raise thelsrates for Interstate traffic.
Authorities of the various passen-
ger departments in Topeka vigorous
argue are not like freight for they
have the privilege of buying and re-
buying. A passenger from Topeka

one-ha1f cent rate by buying a ticket
to Arkansas City, then rebuying there
to Newkirk, and finally buying at
Newkirk for Oklahoma City
Another good reason is evident why
the roads would hesitate to take such
step. The Burlington for instance
has a direct line from st. Louis to
Denver A passenger could under the
proposed arrangement, buy an inter
state ticket from st. Louis to Kansas
City via this line, and then continue
the journey over the Union Pacific or
Rock Island, both of which have a
shorter mileage between Kansas City
and Denver and thus would have a
that the roads stand too much of a
chance of losing to other lines, bust
ness that would naturally accrue to
their own road
The rates to the Pacific coast were
not changed by the establishment of
the two cent rate and are lower than
| they would be if figured as short in
terstate journeys are.
A recent story printed in a Kansas
City paper says that the roads are
| now revising their passenger tariffs
with a view of raising interstate jour
neys to a two and one-half cent basis.
| This is positively denied by the local
railway officials, many of whom
would know should such a change
| be contemplated.
| A prominent official of the Santa Fe
stated this morning that no changes
We're being considered at the present
time. For a time there will be no
pushing of the suit against the Kansas
railroad board regarding the validity
! of the two cent rate. This rate was
1 put in for interstate traffic at the or
misSiOnerS, backed up by Govern or
Hoch At that time, which was in
October 1907, it was tacitly under
stood between the. railroads and the
board that the permanence of the rate
would depend on that of a similar
rate in Nebraska. The Nebraska case
is similar to the two cent contro-
versy in Missouri and the rates in both
these states are up before the courts
for final disposition. Should the roads
win in Nebraska, the order of the
Kansas commissioners would be re-
moved and the Kansas roads could
revert to the old three cent rate In
the meantime the Kansas roads will
abide by the order of the board.

WINE WAS POISONED.
Young Man Drinks 1t in Church Play
and Dies

Marydale. Del, Jan. 12.-Charles L.
Pippin, young business man, is dead
as result of drinking poisoned wine,
while acting in an amateur play Janu-
ary L, and a conspiracy to commit muir
der is suspected by the police
A rigid investigation will be made,
and it is believed there will be sensa-
t1onGl developments. Pippin was a So
c1al favorite and was engaged to marry
Miss Maud Hummer. a teacher in the
local school. 1t is believed the poison
was not intended for Pippin, but for one
of the other actors
The states attorney, Elmer Dean. was
advised by Coroner w. G. Smith of the
death and arranged for an inquest
The poisoning was done at a perform
ance for the benefit of the organ fund
of the Methodist church. Pippin, in
carrying out his character, was obliged
to drink a glass of wine. Howard Grif-
fifth, another member of the cast,
tasted the wine before Pippin did, and
finding it strong, merely wet his lips
with it. Pippin, when his turn came,
lifted the glass in the air, gave his
toast and swallowed all the liquid at
a gulp. The next moment he doubled
|up, ran off the stage and cried
My God, it's burning me up! Give
me water Quick!"
DR.. H. Evans. who was taking part
in the play, hastily gave Pippin temper
ary relief, and, though he still suffered
fOothnghtS and played his part through
to the end. Soon after he reached home
Pippin again was seized with excruciat-
ing pains in the stomach and sent for
a physician, who found him seriously i'll.
He grew worse from day to day, and
at last a specialist was called in. The
latter said Pippin had drunk an ex-
tremely large dose of poison.

bribe to Fred Nicholas, a former
member of the board of supervisors.
The charge is based upon one of 10
indictments returned against the rail-

and was the outcome of the municipal
scandal of 1906, when 16 supervisors
confessed to wholesale acceptances of
bribes for the award of privileges to

place this morning by official orders
from headquarters. The consolidation
of the Rock Island-F'risco system, which
has been in effect just one year. was
this morning dissolved so far as Wich-
ita and Kansas City are concerned.
E. E. Carter, formerly travelling

system, has been appointed division
freight agent for the Frisco road, with
headquarters at the local Frisco pas
senger station. E. B. Hooser. division
freight agent for the Rock Island -Fris-

capacity for the Rock Island.
1t is the Frisco which takes the ini-
tial action in this separation for the
reason of the growing business in Wich-
ita 1t realizes that the tonnage in and
out of this city has reached so great
a figure that it is no longer desirable
to have the two roads united.
