income for each mile of line averaged
1886 for each day In January 1913. This
average for January 1912 was $500
The corresponding average per mile
per day for the last fiscal year was
1918. for the -evious fiscal year $685.
for the seven months of the current
fiscal year $11.45. Comparison with
these longer periods averages the et-
feet of fluctuations of the weather ana
shows that last January as usual was
relatively a poor month for railway
traffic.
The fact that this operating income
per mile of line per day averaged sl213
in November. $10.16 in December, ana
1856 in January shows that as usual
this was a month during which traInc

Operating income is the amount, af-

WANT COUNTY SEAT.
RolIa and Richfield Squabble Over Its
Location.


Hugoton, Kan, April 5.-Another
county seat contest soon will be on in
earnest down in southwestern Kansas.
Rolla, a new town in southeastern
Morton county, on the Santa Fe's ex-
tension, will make a bid for the coun-
ty seat of that county, now held by
Richfield.-
The Richfield people will make a
strenuous effort to save the county
seat. They already have fine court
house, built in the boom days, and as
commodious a building as can be
found in southwestern Kansas.
Richfield is, however, quite a ways
from the railroad, and Rolla will lay
it's claim to the county seat to this
fact.
"Rolla will get the county seat"
says John Kelly. 1.-THE railroad is be-
ing pushed on to the state line. The
steel gang is now working in Morton
county, and track is laid for twenty
miles beyond Hugoton."

Vital Organs Of Body.
Attempted vivissction Climax Of
Months Of crazed Brain.

Marietta, Ohio. Aug. 13.-With the
commitment to Long View Asylum in
Cincinnati, today, of DIR. William r.
Dabney, there has come to light one
of the most remarkable chapters in
medical history.
Not until the crazed surgeon had I'M
wertaken to perform vivisection upon
a patient was it realized by the at
PENDANTS in the operating room that
madness was directing the scapel in
an effort to uncover vital organs.
Dir. Dabney entered practice in Mar
ietta, about 10 years ago. He made Il
speciality of eye, ear and throat OPP
erations.
For several months previous to his
mental collapse and the startling rev.
Citations of his condition, rarely passed
a day that he did not perform two or
three difficult operations. 1t was the
death on the operating table of an
aged and wealthy farmer, Jacob Il
Schaad that brought DR.. Dabney's
career to a climax. Schaad had a
numerous growth on his upper jaw He
consulted DIR. Dabney and was assur-
ed that a minor operation would re-
move the Disagreement.
Besides DR.. Dabney and the nurse,
there were present when Schaa d
lapsed into Inconsistencies under the
influence of an anaesthetic, DR.. c. Z.
Ballard and DIR. J. b. Penrose. AS DIR.
Dabney proceeded with the knife, the
two surgeons detected that there was
something wrong, and both began to
demonstrate. DIR. Dabney became angry
and ordered them from the operating
room.
When the two doctors had left, ac
cording to the story of the nurse, who
had remained beside the unconscious
patient, DR.. Dabney began to dissect
Schaads face and throat Both sides
of the face were laid open and deep
incisions made in the throat. But tn.
skill of the mad surgeon was shown N
the dexterity with which he avoided
nficting a fatal wound.
How far the crazed surgeon would
cannot be told, for the Mortified nurse
ran, shrieking that Dr. Dabney was
killing his patient. His cries brought
DR.. Ballard and DIR. Penrose with sew
