Roads on Oklahoma Protest Re-
duction In Charge.

Guthrie, OKLA, July 29.-All Okla
homa railroads have appeared before
the corporation commission to protest
against the commissions proposed or
der reducing switching charges from
81 to SIS a car to $1.50, 81 and $3.50
per car, according to service. After a.
conference of representatives COM
promise proposition was submitted,
the roads agreeing to a charge on the
basis of 81, $3.50 and SO per car. This
has not been accepted.
w. R. Beacon, general superinten-
dent of the Rock. Island, testified that
the cost of switching was from $3.50
to SO per car, although there we're in
stances in large functions where the
minimum charge was $1.50 and else
where the maximum was IS per car.
Avery Turner of Amarillo, vice pres
ident of the Texas lines of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe system, told
the commission that the rate of 81 per
car was made at time when the cost
of labor and equipment was SO per
cent less than today. when yards were
small, taxes about one-half, and
prompt service was not demanded.
These, he said. were reasons the rate

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE
Druggist Stansfield Offers to Pay for
SamOse IF 1t Does Not Make
Thin People Fat.

Samose, the remarkable flesh forming
food. should be used by all who are
pale, weak and thin. It mingles with
the food and aids assimilation so that
when taken for short time, Nature
will soon assert her normal powers,
and the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you commence
the use of Samose, and you will notice
steady gain. Samose is a semitic
flesh-forming food that restores the
thin and scrawny to their proper
weight, and fills the weak and debih-
tated with vigor and vitality.
Such remarkable results have follow
ed the use of Samose that Druggist
Stansf1eld, 632 Kansas avenue, Topeka,
is willing to pay for the treatment il
it does not give the desired results.

LITTLE GIRL SHOT HIM.
Victim Declares His Wound Was Self
Inflicted.

Yonkers, n. Y, July 29.-Dying of
a bullet wound, in st. Johns hospital,
George Pelham, 6 years old, has
sturdily insisted that the injury which
brought him there was self inflicted.
After a careful examination the hos
pital physicians, announced however,
that the course of the bullet made it
impossible that the boy could have shot
himself.
Some of the playmates were closely
questioned and the story was got
from them He had been shot, they
said, by a girl friend, Mildred Baxter,
7 years old, and rather than get her
into trouble, as he thought, he had
determined to take the blame upon
himself.
Several of the children left alone
for the afternoon had decided to play
soldier, and George appointed himself
captain. The others armed themselves
with toy rifles and cap pistols, but
Mildred could find no weapon, SO
George went upstairs and got his
fathers revolver for her.
ITS all right he said. 1t is not

But when the command to fire
was given, there was flash and an

1T COST S. PER BEE.
Painters Drive Colony From a Church
With Fire. .s

Tarrytown, N. Y, July 29-The
First Reformed church here, a his
toric edifice, which has figured con-
siderably in American literature and
in revolutionary annals, will require
$1,000 worth of repairs as the result of
a successful attempt yesterday to drive
out a colony of bees which had made
their home in the steeple.
Two painters who were at work in
the church found the bees nest. Their
blow lamp was brought out and its
flames turned on the nest. The church
was set on fire but after the fire de-
partment had worked hard for half an
hour the flames were extinguished.
The damage was estimated at $1,000.
The painters accomplished their object
in getting rid of the bees, but at cost
of about IS bee.
