LITTLE MoTHER 10 YEARS OLD.
Child Found Trying to Care for Three
Younger Than Herself.

Pittsburg, Kan, Sept 25.-A little
girl, but 10 years of age, acting as
mother for three younger children who
had not had a change of clothing for
over a month, was the startling dis
covery made by Mrs Macfarlaine, di-
rector of the humane society work of
this city. The little waits were brought
in by a kind hearted colored woman,
who, although no better dressed than
the children, besought the society to
take them into their charge cause
dey is so pore and no one to keer fer
'em.''
Since the death of the mother the
children have been living with their
father, who is a laboring man who
had to be away from home all day.
The oldest girl has attempted to act
as mother of her two younger sisters
and brother and, in addition, be the
housekeeper.
Their clothing had not been changed
since they came to live with their ia
ther, and when asked why they did not
don some other clothes, the children
replied that they had but one outfit.
The boy was without a hat, while the
Oldest only possessed the luxury of
shoes. Ali were quiet, we'll behaved little
children and it was evident that being
objects of charity was distasteful. The
old colored woman had finally per-
suaded them to go to Mrs. Macfarlaine
for clothes so that they might go to
school.

NO MYSTERY THEN.
kimmilI Could Be Easily Iden-
titled by This Means.
Babes Fingers Show Same Lines
as Man of 80 Years.
NO MYSTERY THEN.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept 25.-Warden
r. w. McClaughry is in favor of hav-
ing the finger prints of every child
taken and recorded the same as the
certificates of bith. In this way the
warden thinks everyone's Identification
could be positive and 1t also would be
a great aid to the police in keeping
tab on criminals.
IF Mrs. Kimme1 had had the finger
prints of her son taken, either when he
was a baby or when he was a business
man, the fact as to whether the claim
ant is Kimmel would be known posi-
lively" said Major McClaughry-
''The finger print system is the only
positive means of Identification Even
a mothers Identification of her own
child is sometimes dubious when the
son has been away for years. as is
proven in the Kimmel case That
Identification by pictures is faulty IS
we'll proven also in the Kimmel case
would Be Trouble Saver
4sJust think of the trouble that mas
occurred in the past that could nave
been averted if each state had law
that the finger prints of each child
should be recorded at the same time
that the birth is. The cost and extra
work would be small compared TO the
good that this would do and the
amount of money that is spent in
lengthy and unsatisfactory trials that
could have been averted If the ringer
prints of the accused criminal hau
been registered
There is no way that any one can
avoid the evidence of the finger prints,
as it is a proven fact that no to men
have exactly fte same marks on their
fingers The prints made by Dapy
are fdentica1ly the same as those mace
when the person is 50 years old.

Agreement With Western Union.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 25.-E. J..
Pearson, first vice president Of the
Missouri Pacific, has announced that

company has made with the Western
Union Telegraph company, now effec-
tive, each company will pay the other
for all services rendered. The tele-
graph company's franks issued to Off
GERS and representative will permit
the sending of any of the four class
es of kilograms and all kilograms filed
hereunder will be charged against the

road are to be offered for transmission,
and advantage taken of the economy

In regard to the railway telegraph
service, Vice President Pearson says:
''The economical operation of rail-
road wires is essential, and all officers
and employees will lend their aid to
graphic reports or mmunlcatlOnS
that may be handled by mail. Heads
of departments and others receiving
telegraphic forms or other reports are
requested to give their personal atten-
tion to the matter of reducing such use
of the wires to a minimum Officers
and employees will use the telegraph
only when the business of the COM
pany actually demands 1t, ana when
train mail will not serve the purpose.
All kilograms must be worded as
briefly as possible. Communications
received by telegraph shall be an

trains, drawn by pulsing monarchs of
the rail, are threading the west and

It is our great privilege as employees
and executives of these companies, to
carry the rich-hued threads of business
to this loom, whose fast-flylng shutties

In gathering up and threading un-
placed strands OF human life and en-
deavor into this new field of fresh
achievement and great promise on the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain lines,
we are balancing and adjusting hu-
man effort, according to our ability, to
the end that all men led by US to new
sbodes may dwell in natures freshest,
most productive garden and receive
the high rewards of wealth and good
living for their labor.
We count it a blessing to be num-
bered with the new type of history
makers of the great west and south
west and to work with twentieth CEN
tury means of transportation; to be
able, as we are, TO say that our lines
will not only transport men to better
climes. but aid them, individually,
with the newest thought and the latest
discoveries in agricultural and indus
trial pursuits.
We are proud of the cities that deck
our lines and we pledge ourselves to
do our utmost to increase their eff
cheney as power houses of industry,
commerce and manufacture in our

LOWER SURPLUS IN CARS.
Freight Traffic Improves on Railways
of Country.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-A strong upward
tendency in railroad freight traffic, as
indicated by the extent to which the
roads are making use of their equip
ment. is shown by the fortnightly bull
letin issued by the committee on rela-
tions between railroads of the Ameri-
can Railway association
The bulletin shows that for the
period ending September 3. the total
number of surplus freight cars on the
roads of the United States, Canada and
Mexico had been reduced to 70,722.
which is the lowest figure reported
since December 81 last year. This
represents a decrease in two weeks Of
1914 cars, of which $3.50 are box
cars. 5,454 coal cars and 4,414 miscel-
Ianeous.
The report shows, however, that
there are still more cars side tracked
owing to lack of demand for them
than for the corresponding period last
year, when a total of $50 was re-
ported.
The demand for box cars in the
northwest to handle the grain is con-
sidered responsible for the decrease in
surplus equipment.

LURE GIRLS TO WICHITA.
White Slave Charges May Be Brought

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 25.-What may

The girls are Vernie Reed of Hutch

Shrock promised to pay their expenses

The first intimation received by the
police concerning the presence Of the
message was received from the chief
Of police at Hutchinson, asking them
to spare no pains to find the man and
the girls and to arrest the man on
sight.
Shrock was found at the Pennsyl-
vania hotel on West Douglas avenue
and was taken to the city jail, but
though the girls had been at the hotel,
they had left some time before the Of
ficers arrived. One of them returned
to the hotel presently and when De-
tective Gillelaud asked where her COM

went to the park, taking the girl along

her with questionable looking young
