The epitaph referred to was not
LLaeed upon the tombstone of Mr..

him from a little poem written some
10 years ago by an Australian poet

which was published in Edinburgh. in
1893, under the title of "Willew and

The verse used as the epitaph is as
follows:
Warm summer sun
Shine kindly here
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light. lie light.
Good night, dear heart
Good night, good night
The verse has so often been referred

ALMOST NAMED CROCK ISLAND"
Horton, Kan, Had Close Escape al
One Time.

Horton, Kan, April 27.-But few
people in Horton know that it was the
original intention of the Rock Island
Railway company to name this place
Rock Island instead of Horton. The
company had fully decided on this
name for the big headquarters of their
western lines and the name would
have been very appropriate. But when
a crowd of politicians and lawyers of
Topeka got control of the c. K. & N.
Town company, they thought it best

should the interstate commerce com
mission make ruling which that body
is contemplating.
This fact became apparent when the
commission began at Chicago an in
vestigation into the granting Of re-
duced rates upon the certificate plan,
which is employed to balk the scalp

1t is understood that some of the
members Of the commission believe
that the present method o. granting
reduced rates and combining them TO
members of certain organizations is a
violation of the law in that it works a
discrimination upon the public gen
orally.
Should this be the ruling of the
commission, the railroads would be
compelled to make all reduced rates
good to any one who wished to use
them. To do this would be to en-
croach so much upon the regular bust
ness of the railroads that it could not.
