As early as last October a representative was here and sought a location, but he found the rents asked prohibitive. Dr. Grigsby heard of the company's desire to get in here and when he went to New York City early in the winter his building then being finished, he called at the head offices and offered to rent his building. He explained the advantages of Coffeyville and her future with her interurbans and factories and when he returned home a few weeks ago he vb'rought a representative of the company here from St. Louis.

Negotiations then were entered into and closed this week. The doctor feels highly gratified that he was able to aid the company in locating here, as it is a cred itable, permanent business and he be lieves will be of great benefit to Con- eyville and vicinity. Between fifteen and twenty-five people will be em ployed. "I have had plenty of chances to rent my buildingbefore, but I have been to get a good, permanent company here and one that would be beneficial to the city," said. Dr.

SKINNED HAND ON DRUNK. Night Chief Walton Has Tussel With Will Beard. A Negro. Guy Walton, night chief of police, was called to the home of Will Beard, a negro, on East Seventh street, Tuesday afternoon. It was reported that Beard was drunk and attempting to drive his wife out of the house.

Walton found Beard at home, but the negro refused to go a warrant, so Walton telephoned Chief Fletcher to bring one. Walton kept an eye on Beard. Suddenly the negro bolted out of the house and attempted to escape. Walton caught him on an adjoining lot, but the negro showed fight, so Wal ton waded in with his fists. He brought Beard down but in doing so badly bruised the knuckles of his right hand and after he and Fletcher had taken the negro to jail, he went to a doctor and had the hand treated and bandaged.

Subscribers are complaining of belated deliveries which can not be laid to the floods in the east.

Exchanges of The Journal are received much later than three or six months ago, great ly inconveniencing the employes and delavmer their work. As evidence that Coffeyville is but one of a thousand cities affected, the following from The New York Sun is reprinted! M. Norris, superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, Second district, which embraces New York, said yesterday that he has traced many of the complaints received about the non-delivery, delayed delivery; and wrong delivery of newspapers sent through the mails and has found that many of the complaints are not caused by any fault of the railway service. From what he said it seemed that he was inclined to place the blame at points of delivery. "For several months The Sun and all other New York, newspapers have been receiving complaints from out of town subscribers and practically every newspaper in town has done all it could to remove the basis for such complaints.

The complaints have been of all kinds and show that this class of mail, which is supposed to be accorded preferential treatment in post-offices, has been receiving a demoralized service. "Complaints have been received that newspapers sent by mail have not been delivered at all; other complaints are that subscribers who formerly, received their papers a day or two after publication, lately have received them three or four days later. A man in Seattle complained that sometimes he has received his Saturn day's paper several days before the paper for the previous Monday was delivered. I "That the trouble is not purely lo-1 cal is shown by the following clipping from the Scranton Tribune-Republican: "When twenty-eignt nours are required for a New York Sunday newspaper to reach a Scranton desination and a day and three-quarters for a Pittsburg newspaper to get into tn3 hands of a Scranton subscriber it would appear that there is some foun dation for the complaint that the new eight hour law is playing havoc with the mails and that there is imperative need for more employees in the Post al Department." The new law went into effect on March 1. It provides that postal clerks may work only eight hours a day, and that these eight hours they work must be within.

a ten hour limit. The parcel post business has added to the congestion post offices ana not enough clerks have been put on to offset the loss of time caused by the new law. It should be understood that the tieup caused by weather conditions in the middle west has noth- me to do with the complaints, as these were numerous long before the floods and have, continued to come from districts not affected by the weather conditions. Second Assistant Postmaster-General J. J.

Britt resigned shortly after the advent of the new administration and he has been succeeded by former Governor Dockery of Missouri. Mr. Dockery has sent out inspectors to investigate the causes for delays, but the situation has not improved. "We have, received complaints from newspapers that the service has been bad for five or six months," said Mr. Norris yesterday.

"I have traced many complaints and I have found that not all the delay is caused in the railway mail service. In some instances I have found that the railway service has delivered newspapers in good time to towns." have neyer. seen the service so bad in twenty-five years experience with the newspapers," said a veteran circulation man. employed by. one newspaper Brock Goddard.

Mr. Parker said the investigation convinced the committee that no raise in price was necessary in order for the Kansas Natural to realize a fair profit on its legitimate investment Nor did he believe that a raise would secure to the consumers any better light or fuel.

J.

IF JOHNSON SHOULD FAIL. What Would Happen To Washington, Ask The Baseball Sharps. From The New York Sun.

If anything should happen to Wal ter Johnson where would the Wash ingtons finish in the American Leagua race? Already baseball sharps, as suming that Johnson will be much of a puzzle this year as last, are predicting that the Senators will win thirty-five games in which he occupies the box. The records show that since 1097, when he made his bow, Johnson has pitched in 198 games, receiving credit for 108 victories and 84 defeats, a winning percentage of .563. Opponents in the same period hava made 1,287 base hits and 477 runs. 'Johnson has given 360 bases on ball3 and has fanned 1,163 batsmen. Last year the big fellow took part in forty games, winning thirty and losing ten, a percentage of .750, the best of his career.

He won twenty- three and lost fifteen in 1911, while ed in forty-one games in 1910, and struck out 303 men, his greatest performance in this respect. In 1909 Johnson won twelve games and lost twenty-four, but the previous year he won fourteen and lost eleven. During his first season with the Senators ha participated in eighteen games, winning five and losing eight. Johnson is in prime condition at Charlotteville and Griffith believes that he will break all pitching records during the coming season, even excelling the rec ord of nineteen straight, held jointly, by Rube Marquard and Tim Keef HORRORS WRECK HER MIND Girl Missionary Back From India With Her Brain a Blank. From The New York Mail.

A year ago this month Miss Marga ret Reynolds, a pretty girl of Water loo, Iowa, sailed for India to became a missionary. Today she returned on the steamship Verona, her hair gray, her face haggard, and her mind a blank. Waiting on the pier for her was her nance, Walter H. Thompson, of Chi cago. As he held out his arms to her she walked past him without recog nition.

He broke down and sobbed, while tearms came to the eyes of pas sengers who had learned the girl's sad story. Miss Katherine McKenzie, a mis sionary who accompanied Miss Reynolds from India, put the latter's hand in lhompson s. "This is Walter Thompson; you re member him, Margaret?" she said. Miss Reynolds stared blankly at Thompson, but shook his hand. She She made no resistance when Thomp son took her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead.

"Poor little Margaret," he said. Miss McKenzie said that the girl's mind had been completely wrecked by the horrors she had witnessed near Lahore, India, where thousands had starved to death. "When she arrived in India she was beautiful girl," said Miss McKenzie. "She returns a physical wreck. He hair turned gray in a week, and as she saw death and suffering on all sides her mind began to fail.

"All the while she was working night and day to do what little she could to relieve the misery of the unfortunate natives. She went without food that they might eat, and nursed many victims of the famine back to health. "Three monthsago she was taken with fever, and when she recovered what little had been left of her mind was gone. For weeks she didn't even recognize me. The doctors in India said it was doubtful if her memory ever returned."
