THREE LINES TO HUTCHINSON
Rail Activities Growing Rapidly With
Increased Electric Facilities.

Hutchinson, Kan. March s.-The
Hutchinson & Northern railroad is to-
day constructing a connecting track
between the Arkansas valley interur-
ban road, an electric line to Wichita,
in the east part of the city, in the in
dustrial section and near the Carey
salt plants.
Emerson Carey, president of the
company, stated that George Thiess of
Wichita, president of the interurban
road, had completed traffic agree
nents between his road and the Mid
land Valley, the Orient and the Frisco
railroads. which would bring the traf-
fic of these roads into Hutchinson, via
the electric lines.

was done at the seaboard and n fair
amount sold from interior markets to the

tremendous disappearance for the period,
November LIST to March 1st, confirming the
claims that farm consumption this year
was abnormal. Hogs are new selling above
SO and corn has n feeding valuation at
least 80 cents higher than prevailing quo

side.

NOT DAMAGED BY WIND
Crop Is Not in Danger, Due to Plenty
of Moisture, Says Flora.


The Chicago wheat market was in
flated today by rumors that high
winds in Kansas were working injury
to the wheat, according to market re-
ports from Chicago.
S. D. Flora, state meteorologist, as
serted this afternoon that the wheat is
not in danger from the high winds
owing to the large amount of mois-
ture that has fallen thruout Kansas
during the last week or two. So much
rain and snow has fallen, he pointed
out. that the winds would first have
to dry up the soil and then blow the
dirt before any material injury would
result.
"Altho we have no reports at the
present time" said Mr.. Flora, ''it is
probable that high winds are preva-
lent thruout the state, but they will
do no damage to the wheat. In the
western part of the state the snow is
not even melted off. This mild
weather is just the thing we need

The absorptive powers on the decline was

situation in the southwest particularly oc-
cupying the center of the stage. A good
demand was reported for cash wheat in all
markets with prices up as much as 4 cents
in St Louis With the bulk Of the wheat

southwest diminishing. it is to be expected
that cash prices will gradually harden.

CHILD THE VICTIM OF AN
UNUSUAL ACCIDENT

This community was shocked
this morning to hear of the acct
dental death of Walter Kumle Anon
little two-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. West Anon of Laws, which
occurred at their home there yester-

The little fellow was put to bed
by his parents at the usual time, but
appeared not to be sleepy on ac-
count of late nap he took in the
afternoon, and laid awake for some
time. His parents left him in his
bed and were in an adjoining room
A short while after the little one
had been put to bed his father went
into the room and was Mortified to
find the lifeless body of his son. In
some way the little fellow had
crawled out from the foot of the
brass bed and had caught his chin
His body could not reach the floor
and he was unable to free himself
and strangled to death.

it was due to the unerring instinct
