Negro Killed by Train.

The body of an unknown negro
man was found lying by the !. C..
tracks near the pump house at Cecilia
last Thursday afternoon. The body
was noticed by some men ON the coal
run, and investigations showed that
the man had been dead for several
days. The teeth and gums seemed
to have been mashed in. 1t is not
known in what way the negro came
to his death. A colored excursion
ran into Louisville from down the
road and returned Sunday and it is
supposed by some that the unfor-
tunate negro fell from the steps or
platform of a passenger coach and
was dashed to death against the en-
bankment. DR.. John NJ. Englis the
Coroner of the county, went down
and held an inquest over the body.
A jury was impanelled and after
investigating reached the conclusion
that the negro had fallen off an /. c..
fast train as there was evidence of
the body having slid some ninety feet.
The man was about 20 years of age,
and there was nothing about him
whatever by which he could be iden-
titled.

The Automobile and the Farm.

Much has been said in the press
recently regarding the alleged bad
policy of the farmers of Kansas and
neighboring states in the matter of
borrowing money from banks to pur-
chase automobiles and mortgaging real
estate to secure the loans. 1t has
even been stated that a combination
of bankers has been formed, and that
the banks concerned will loan no
more money for the purchase of
automobiles, other than those used
in the activities of the farm.
A man who for many years has
been familiar with country banking
in Kansas and Nebraska was recent
ly in Rochester, and in response to
inquiries declared that this feature of
farm business, in those states had
not been stated correctly. He declar-
ed 1t was true that farmers, within
a wide range of banking town, had
driven to the money institutions
in high-grade automobiles; but that
just now their business had more TO
do with making deposits than with
negotiating loans. While it is true
that the gasoline chariots have some
times been purchased with money
loaned from local banking institutions
it is said that such cases are COM
paratively rare. 1t is plainly intima-
ted that at present there are very
few farmers In Kansas who are not
in a position to borrow money, for
any purpose they deem wise, with
few questions asked.
Incidentally 1t was. learned that
the automobile is working a revolu-
ton in agricultural hfe in Kansas
and Nebraska. Under present condi-
lions a farmer living from ten to
twenty. miles FROM a town or city,

Matrimony as a Business.

The idea that modern women are
not fitted for business is erroneous.
Women are proving this day. Not on
ly are many of them trusted employ
es of large concerns, but quite as
many more are in business on their
own account. Some are shrewd and
sharp enough to take care of them
selves and their investments in the
most trying circumstances. Even in
the speculative line they have prov
ed to be daring plungers, and some
have recouped their losses by almost
Napoleonic strategy. An instance
of this Is found in young and pref
ty woman who lost $4,000 in bucket
shop. She called at her brokers' to
learn where her money had gone.
Successive visits led to a wedding
between her and the broker. Two
months later she had divorced him,
and she is now enjoying an alimony
of $500 a year. '--~~-~~

should not succeed in business. Many
have recuperative powers greater than

STORY OF ORIGIN OF
0. K. IS RECALLED.
Was Originally Used as Trade
Mark by Firm That Made
Hard Tack for Army.

The death recently of Cornelius
Keddall, formerly of Chicago, at To-
ledo, recalls to many OF his journa-
li.ic and other friends what is belize
ed to be, in all probability, the true
story of the origin of the widely
known symbols 90 X" AS the
story goes, at the outbreak of the
Civil war, during which Cornelius Ken
dali served in Chicago Board of Trade
battery there was large bakery in
the Windy City of which his highly
respected father, Orrin Kendall, was
the founder and head. The firm
name was o. Kendall & Sons. 9.
The concern had a big business In
supplying "hard tack to the army
and navy, for its stuff was always
delivered on time, and besides had
the added advantage of keeping
fresher than that supplied by other
bakers. Consequently the boys in
the field declared that the 20. X.
Hard Tack" was better than any
other. l should add that the firm
stamped 20. X" on all its crackers
and other hard tack output. Thus
the spoken phrases 20. k became
current army and navy slang, and
the veterans brought 1t back in their
occupations as a verbal and graphic
convenience.
