WEST END DISTRICT Switching Facilities Along the River Are Completed.

The greatest change in tho appearance of this city is going to be in the section along the Big Arkansas river south of Douglas avenue. Tho long frog pond grown up in brush extending from Douglas avonve to Lewis street is already a thing of the past and there will soon be substantial business blocks in that section of the city. When a reporter for the Eaglo passed along West Douglas oesterday he saw a crowd of men in the office of Swartz Bros. Ho wen, in and found the head of the Ann handing out cash to the men ho had just completed their railroad switch along the river bank. The work wis done in one week and ninety-nine men and twenty-lour teams were employed to do it.

There was one Instance that showed the liberality of the firm of Swartz Bros. One of tne track graders claimed a half da' than the time-keeper had given him credit for. when Mr. Swartz said "We will just pay you for the time you chibn raise tiie price of real estate a little to moke it ur. The time-keeper had a good deal of other work to attend to and lie may have made a mistake of a half day." Tnuy Beeson have their brick block start- d.

Julien, pastor of the Haysvllle Methodist church conducted the services. A song was given by the few people present and the minister kneeled in prayer and while in the midst of it Mrs. Cornelison fainted. She apparently was dead for fifteen minutes and those near the bedside thought she was. Tha friend went away and the body of her daughter was removed to the undertakers.

Doctor Hutton was called and with the aid of some ladies present, revived her and last night she was resting easily. The bouncing baby boy which has been born to them is also doing nicely. Xellie Cornelison is coming to realize the awfulness of cutting her sister's throat. At first she did not seem to care much but yesterday she broke down and wept as if her heart would break and she is now in a rather serious condition. She Is very nervous and strangers frighten her and she does not want to talk.

She is still in the custody of Mrs. Jackson, but does not show any of her former disposition. She is very quiet and will hardly say a word to any one. This morning Dr. Hutton will make a thorough examination of the girl and will then give his opinion as to the cause of her actions, but he stated yesterday that in his opinion as far as he was able to ascertain she was afflicted with insanity, periodically, as stated in yesterday's Eagle.

He does not think she is a moral prevert. Yesterday a reporter for the Eagle talked with Mrs. Graham who lives in the Hyde building about Nellie Cornelison. The girl came there a week ago Saturday. She told Mrs.

Graham that her mother and father lived at the corner of Third street and Cleveland avenue, and that first her father died and then her mother. That was about two years ago. Her name was Iona Beal she said. After her father's and mother's death she said she went to live with a Mrs. Vaultner whose home was three blocks west of the McCormick school.

When she arrived at Mrs. Graham's she said that Mrs. Vaultner had moved away and told her to stay in the house until some one moved there. She said she stayed around there several hours and asked a man with a big wagon if she could ride over town with him and he said she could and ho brought her to near the Hyde building and she went up to the third floor and to the rooms of Mrs. Graham.

That lady notified the police and she also talked with a Mrs. Ellis and they took the child and hunted around the vicinity of Third and Cleveland, but they could find no one of tho name of "Beal" that lived in that neighborhood. The girl still stuck to her story about her name and where she had lived. She also said that she had gone to school with Mrs. Ellis' granddaughter.

The child did not know her. Tlie police wanted to take her over to the West Side and see if they could find the house where she said she was deserted. Then the girl broke down and cried and said she would not go back as her father would beat her to death. Tuesday evening she was at the home of Mrs. Ellis and that lady's son had found Mr.

Cornelison and told him where his daughter was. He mentioned to Nellie, or Iona that her father was coming after her that night. At first the child paid no attention to him, but when he repeated it she said, "How can he come when he is dead?" Sirs. Ellis asked her if she did not remember her mother putting her to bed when she was a little girl and then kissing her good night. Nellie said she remembered her mother taking her to bed, but she said her mother never kissed her.

She told several tales of very bru- tal treatment on the part of her father I and said she always had been afraid of him. I Soon after this conversation and while i Nellie and Mrs. Ellis were at supper Mr. Cornelison came into the room. Mrs.

Ellis said, yesterday, in speaking of this: "Nellie looked up at him and then drop-i ped her eyes and did not say a word. Her father spoke to her but she did not an-j swer. She did not change a bit when he came in. He then told her that Laura was waiting for her at home and each iav tho little sister would say. 'Are you going to bring Nellie home today?" That did not have any effect on her.

then hor father asked he? if she wanted to go home and she did not answer. After sup-' per Nellie and her father ar.d ray son and myself sat in the room thcrv and he tr.Ui- ed to us about her. He also spoke to her and asked her if she wanted to go home but she did not answer. Then her father told her she did not have to go if she did not want to. He would not force her to go.

She did not move a muscle or act as if she was relieved or glad at those words. She showed then that she was not afraid of her father as she had told Mrs. Graham and myself. Finally her father said for her to get on her wraps as it was getting late and they must be going home. Nellie went into anotaer and there she stood and made faces at her father's back." Mrs.

Cornelison last winter was one of the most faithful attendants at the Associated Charities sewing circle at the court house and she made good clothes and was well paid. Somo of the ladies stated that when schoel was out for the summer they wished Mrs. Couch would get their daughters place as nurse girls ami let them work a little. Mrs. Coach said she would and then Mrs.

Cornelison asked her to get a place for Nellie. Mrs. Couch stated yesterday that Mrs. Cornell-son often asked her to get a place for Nellie. The little girl was at the court house with her mother.

One day last June, the first time Nellie ran away from home she came up to the court house on a bicycle and Mrs. Couch she wanted a place as rurse girl. Mrs. Couch questioned hr a little and. yesterday she said to a r.

for the Eagle when talking about the case: I "Nellie told me that her mother had said she could not stay at home any Iong- er and she must go to work. She said her father had whipped two or ttare i.m- a day and she c- uld r.t at home. She had a wheel which she said a woman on the West Side had given her. i told that sh- was aioa the street when a womar. caac alor.g with the bicycle in a buggy.

Sh" Nti.ie i to take it wit. her she WjS r.red ef hauling It. Neiiic had ail her ciiithea 1 with her. I did not believe all hr story. so I took her to a friend's and then went to see Mrs.

Cornelison. She told me to bring the girl home the next morning. I went to see Nellie after I came back and she said she would not go home, as her father would whip her and her mother did not want her at home. The next morning I went to her and told her I would take her home. Nellie cried and said she wouid not go home.

Then thought I would take her to Mrs. Earl Blake's home as she wanted a nurse girl, if Nellie's mother was willing. I was going to take Nellie home first, but the girl would not go a step, so then I told her I would take her down to Mrs. Blake and if she wanted her then we would go around to see her mother and get her consent. Mrs.

Blake consented to try the girl and then Nellie would not go home so I went to Mrs. Cornelison myself and asked her if it would be all right to let Nellie stay there awhile. Mr. Cornelison was away at the time so she said he would come after Nellie Sunday and I was to leave her at Mrs. Blake's until that time.

Sunday came and Mr. Cornelison came tip to my house and we went to Mrs. Blake's and Nellie went home with him. I do not know where that wheel is now or where she got it and when she ran away this last time Mrs. Cornelison called me up and asked me to help find her, which, I did as much as I was able.

I do notfsee why the girl wants to run away nspbe has a good home and I am sure slteis not illtreated and I would have taken her home at that time if her mother had not on several occasions asked me to get a place for her." Nellie Cornelison went to the Washington school and also to the Kellogg school when her parents lived at the corner of xiiiru anu levewiw. with one of her teacners jesieruai. xuat lady said: "Nellie was a good pupil. tno was quic to learn and could read almost anything she picked up. She was fine In all her studies and I never noticed her do any- thing wrong.

She was always tru.niui and wa considered her one of our Dest pupils. She must have certainly developed this badneess since I knew her. I do not think she Is a degenerate, but rather la afflicted with temporary insanity." If your stomach is disordered, bowels irregular, and you don't feel well, you need Prickly Ash Bitters. It is very effective in removing this condition. ARTHUR CAPPER HERE Was Amazed at the Modern Growth of Wichita.
