pc tSKicMia gaily gaglc: ffrifog pCorutug, grnie 5, 1896. TO HEAE GEIEYANCE OOL WM. E. ilOEEISOH HAS EI7I AT KAHSAS CITY. AE- There He Will listen to the Complaints ?Indo Against Kansas Roads for Discriminating- Against the Producers of the State In laror of Kansas City "Wichita Has a Representative at the Hearing; All Kansas. Especially This Section, Taking: a Keen Interest in the Kesnlt. A telegram from Kansas Crty says: Colonel "William R. Morrison, chair man of the interstate commerce com mission, arrived "here -today to hear the complaint of the Kansas state board of railroad, commissioners against the Kansas lines -which are members of the Trans-Missouri Freight association, the matter of grain rates to the Gulf. The Kansas rairoad commission demanda that the railroads make lower rates, principally on corn, frommany points In that stake toXewOrleansand Galves ton. Chairman Morrison will listen to the testimony and the arguments in the grain case alone, tomorrow 'but the case will go before the entire commission be fore a decision -is rendered." The outcome of the mission of Com missioner Morrison to Kansas City will bo watched with interest by the people of Kansas and especially by those of Southern Kansas or the grain growing belt "Wichita "will be represented at the meeting. As stated in the dispatchthe complaint which Colonel Morrision will hear is that brought by the Kansas rail way commissioners and while grain on ly is mentioned the Investigation will extend to other commodities. Kansas City Is fighting the movement hard and there is hardly a doubt but what its commercial bodies -will try and influ ence Colonel Morrison but he is a man o reputed integrity and good judgment and will do what Is right if he knows it The proposition Is plain and the dele gates from Kansas at this meeting "will Bhow it to him. Kansas City essays to be the market center of the -west and because she is built on a river upon whose -waters a steamboat has not been seen for years she insists on being made a basing point for all the state of Kansas. In other words, she wants to be given rates that -will enable her to get all the products of Kansas for ship ment to tide -water even though they have to betaken from Sedgwick county there and shipped back en route to Gal veston. It is the most audacious propo sition ever heard of. As Judge King pays it would be as tenable for Chicago to insist on getting the products of eastern Indiana to ship to New York. The Commercial club of this city is watching the meeting of the shippers of Kansas with Colonel Morrison. EAGLE "WORTH TWO BITS. Bat the Demand Ws Too Great for the Supply bent.

Only ten extras were sent down and a hundred could have been easily sold. The Eagle is the best daily for the very latest news that comes to this city from the outside.

Similar reports have come from all over the southwest and although nearly 4,000 extra papers -were sent out on the early morning trains the supply was not equal to the demand anywhere.

Alice Shepherd Tries to Slake Her LoTer Believe That bho Hud Taken Morphine, Rut the Officer rind the Drag Bnt Con clude to Clve the Woman Some Heroic Treatment They Secure a Barrel and With Some Ked Pepper and Two Koagh Horse Brashes Tney Set the Woman Wild and Wring From Her a Confession. James Cairns and Sam Jones had an experience last night over -which they will have many a long laugh. They -were standing at the corner of Main and First streets when a colored woman came running to them and said that Alice Shepherd had taken poison, and unless something -was done, and that speedily, that Alice's days were numbered on earth end her death -was about to cause Steve Black to commit suicide. The officers accompanied the exefted woman to the back room in over the Occidental livery stable where they found Steve wringing his hands in agony and turning summersaults while bewailing the approaching death of Alice who was stretched on a mattress on the floor. It -was sometime before the officers could get Steve to cool down sufficient to tell them what was the mat ter. They finally succeded. however, and learned that Alice had taken 33 Scrofula Infests the blood of humanity. It appears in varied forms, but is forced to yield to Hood's SarEaparilla, which purifies and vitalizes the blood and cures all such diseases. Head this: " In September, 1894, 1 made a. misstep and injured my ankle. Yery soon afterwards, ore two inches across formed and in walking to favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore became worse; I conld not put my boot on and I thought I should have to give up at every step. I could not get any relief and had to stop work. I read of a cure of a similar case by Hood's Saraaparilla and concluded to try it. Before I had taken all of two bottles the sore had healed and the swelling had gone down. My A Foot Is now well and I have been greatly bene fited otherwise. I have increased in weight and am in better health. I cannot say enough in praise of Hood's Sarsapa rilla." Mrs. H. Blake, So.

I loved her truly, but you konws I can't marry her until after Ma linda done gets her separation from the time we was donehitched up together, and In course I can't marry the woman under the present circumstances." By this time Alice had opened her eys and joined in the conversation. "It not that, Mr. Jones. Tou can say -what you please, but a girl has not got the chances to reform what a man has. Let her goes wrong once and she is wrong all de times. Mighty difference with a man. He goes wrong everybody wants to help him up and the meaner he's been the brighter he shines among the goody, goody people. There no use for me to try to reform. T done gone tray once, and I's 'stray in this life for all time to come. Don't try to save me. Iet me die. Maybe In the next world I will have a new deal. Steve has been kind to me, but he don't -want a wife -what have been once a stray sheep from the flock. It is natural. He can come out all right and he will be better off when I's gone." Officer Cairns has had lots of exper ience with morphine xictims and he con cluded that Alice had not taken any morphine at all and that her whole ob ject was to work on the sympathies of Steve, and while he did not intend to tell Steve, he concluded to use heroic means for bringing Alice back to life. He had often watched doctors with such cases and calling Sam into the hall he informed him that he had found the morphine and that it was ndt in the stomach of girl, but that they would give her a little treatment of their own. The two returned to the room and found Alice doing her 'best to carry out her part of the role she was acting and seeing a barrel in the hallway the two officers brought it in the room and lay ing the girl across the barrel, and by the aid of a couple of rough horse brushes they began to chafe her hide. The girl kicked, groaned and scream ed, but still the heartless officers kept on rubbing and sweeting, and seeing some mustard near and red pepper they saturated the poor girl's back and then commenced another seige of rubbing. The poor girl begged but the oillcer declared that this was the only means of saving her life, as she had taken such a quantity of morphine that they would have to take off her hide to save her hfe. Finally the girl acknowledged that she had not taken any morphine, but that she was trying to fool Steve. Then Stve jrot mad and swore 'that he never loved the woman anyhow and he didn't give a cent if she did die. But the of ficers told him they were satisfied that the girl had taken the morphine and had only made the acknowledgement to have them stop rubbing, and her life would depend upon his kind -treatment. At 1 o'clock th officers left the two In the best of spirits, but they both pre dicted that it would be a fortnight be fore she would recover from her rub bing.
