Talks to Fair Sized Crowd at Fort

Fort Scott, Kan, July Ex-senator
J. L. Bristow, who has been brought
into the Second district by the insur-
gent leaders to counteract if possible
the increasing popularity of Congress-
man c. F. Scott, addressed a fair sized
crowd on the court house lawn. =.
His speech dwelt almost exclusively
with a discussion of the Payne tariff,
which he criticised severely, giving
special attention to the rubber sched-
ule. His chief criticism against Scott
was his vote against the motion to re-
commit the tariff bill of the confer
ence committee and stand by the house
bill.

GIBSON HOSPITAL TO CLOSE
An Experiment That Has Proved a
Success In Many Ways

The Gibson hospital is to be closed
because its labors involved have prov
ed too much for Mrs. Gibson, both in
the matter OF the work involved, and
In the room available in the present
residence used for the purpose. This
is a matter OF great regret for the
project has proven a benefit to those
treated far beyond the early promise
of its founders, and has shown that
there is demand for such an insti-
tuition In this village. but after the
present engagements are fulfilled, no
more patients for the time being will
be taken
Covering a period OF two years,
since the hospital has been in opera
ton, Sc patients have been cared for,
and only two deaths have occurred.
These two we're cases where there
was no hopes of recovery and one re-
ceived care for over six months.
There have been l3 patients on whom
operations were performed. and the
maternity cases,-20 in number
prove conclusiyely that the value and
convenience OF a place in which to
care for such is demanded on a lar
ger scale than has yet been possible
II is understood also that while
Mrs. Gibson Is to continue her work
along the lines of private nursing.
yet should larger and more suitable
place become available, another pri-
vate hospital may be opened by her.

TO CIRCLE CENTRAL VERMONT
Boston and Maine to Build Road from
Brattleboro to Hinsdale

The Boston and Maine railroad
company proposes to build a double
track road from Hinsdale, n. H., to
Brattleboro and from a point on its
line at Windsor across and up the
river to West Lebanon, N. H., there
by making it possible to carry pas
sengers and freight from Sherbrooke,
p. O., to New York City via Brattle-
boro. on its own rails. Three weeks
ago there appeared in Brattleboro
party of surveyors who went to work
between Brattleboro and Hinsdale.
G. NJ Thompson of Boston, consult
ing engineer of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, came
here Wednesday and secured perma-
nent quarters for his engineers and
draughtsmen. They will be located
in the Vinton block on South Main
street and will be in charge Of MIR.
Thompsons son, George Thompson.
The work for the present will be on
the preliminary survey but this work
VIII be followed Immediately by the
making Of the survey for the engin-
GERS who viii build the road. II is
expected that the surveys and legal
work connected with securing rights
Of way will require about ~ months
although actual construction work
may not be deferred that long.
Mr.. Thompson Is satisfied that
satisfactory alignment viii be found
on the New Hampshire side Of the
Connecticut river, In fact one super

I evident. President Mellen Is said TO
have ordered the engineers. to make
a survey for a first class, double track
road from Brattleboro to Hinsdale.
The present arrangement of using a
station in conjunction with the Cen
trail Vermont at Brattleboro is likely
to be abolished and passenger and
freight stations built at a point no
farther away from the center OF the
business section of the town than the
present station Is.
With the carrying out of the plans
now under way Mr.. Thompson ex.
poets that the stations and yards
will be built within a year. The
management of the road intends Ia
push the work as rapidly as possible
Those connected with the engineer
ing problems say that the only delay
Is such as will naturally arise where

calculation TO make an economical

ployed several local men and the

within a week.
Mr.. Thompson had charge OF build

Killed at Philadelphia

With a Fractured Skull and
Soon Passed Out

Philadelphia. April thames
alias "Reddy" Gallagher, a notorious
burglar with long prison record,
was killed with a club yesterday
morning after a desperate struggle,
by householder whose home he
had attempted to enter.
Samuel Zeanquenian of 2431 North
23rd street was awakened shortly af-
ter midnight by his wife, who said a
man was trying to get into a neigh
boring house. Looking out Zeanque-
nian saw the man in a yard several
doors away. Hastily dressing him
self he went to his cellar and picked
up a long heavy club, used as lever
In a wine press.
BY this time the intruder, falling
to effect an entrance In the other
house had appeared at Zeanquenlan's
cellar window. Running into his
back yard Zeanquenian sprang at the
stranger and a fierce fight ensued.
The burglar managed to get posses.
sion OF the club but before he could
use Il Zeanquenian closed In on him
and recovered the weapon The bur
glar then ran to the street. followed
by Zeanquenian who swung the club
and struck the intruder with such
force that he was thrown against a
lamp post and smashed the lamp.
Uttering a moan OF pain. the bur
glar managed to crawl on his hands
and knees about a block from the
scene of the encounter. There he
was found lying unconscious with a
fractured skull and removed 10 hos
pital by the police. He died shortly
after being admitted to the institu'

REDUCE PULLM AN
CAR BERTH
CHARGES
Interstate Commerce Commits i.
sion Says They're Too High
COMPANY WILL APPEAL
investigation Shows Moisture in
Stock and Many Big Melon
Cuttings

Washington, April 1.-THE inter.
state commerce commission in its
latest decision made public, holds 1t
TO be unjust and unreasonable for
the Pullman company to charge
equally for the upper and lower
berths in its sleeping cars. Differen-
tial charges are ordered in several
instances and Pullman rates from
Chicago to the Pacific are ordered
reduced.
While this ruling of the commits.
sion orders reduction in rates which
were specifically and formally com
planned OF, II is recognized as the
opening wedge for a readjustment of
sleeping car rates wherever they ex-
coed the average which the commits
sion has found to be just and reason
able in these instances. The Pull
man company, II is stated, will carry
the decision TO the courts.
The commission ruled that the pre-
sent Pullman rate of S12 from St.
Paul to the Pacific coast was too
high and ordered IL reduced to So
The present rate OF $l2 for an upper
berth is ordered reduced to $3.50.
A short nights journey, the COM
mission holds, should not carry a
rate OF more than $3.50 for a lower
berth and Sl.10 for an uper. The
rate OF So which the company has
maintained from 81. Paul to Fargo, n
d., 242 miles. is ordered reduced ac-
/ cordingly.
The prevailing upper berth rate OF
$l.50 Is reduced to $I.1O between St.
Paul and Superior. Wis, and the up.
per berth rate between st. Paul and
Grand Forks is reduced from 81 10
$3.50. The rates prevailing are ap-
proved for lower berths.
The report, written by Commission
er Franklin X. Lane. is brief and
does not disclose the exhaustive ex-
animation which was made OF the
Pullman company's affairs. But the
record shows that the commission

company's contracts, general system
