WHERE WILL lT Go!

Last Friday our city was visited by John
O'Day and ex-Congressman Haven, OF
Springfield, Missouri. solicitors and attorneys
of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway.
The gentlemen spent the day in looking over
the city and in talking to our people. From
their conversation in the morning it was con-
ciuded that they were here in the matter OF
depot location and grounds, but in the evening
they stated that had the Commissioners been
at home they intended TO make formal de-
nand that the bonds voted be placed an es-
croso. These gentlemen seemed surprised
that our people should entertain u suspicion
that the A., I. 4 5. +. and the st. l.. & San
+. were practically one and the same, or
that they would be operated in the same in
tcrcst. They confidently asserted that Moth
ing could be fartLtt rom the truth. one be-
ing almost wholly in the interest of Chicago
and the cast ana the other In the interest OF
81. Louis and the south. As 10 the conso,i-
dation from Albuquerque TO the Pacific, they
stated that for distance Of hundreds o!
miles beyond the former place it WAS dry
arid waste of sand. rocks and alkali. and that

that section. They asserted that this main
line terminating Mt Vinita IN the Indian
Territory would be pushed west TO Albu-
querque at which point the two roads would
receive their freight for the east on the same
line, but from that point east there would be
lively competition. Ar 10 the traffic from
this valley they declared that the st. Louis n
San Francisco would have her share Of ii il

THE UNION SPY AT TOPEKA.


Full and satisfactory arrangements have
been completed for the presentation Of that
popular and exciting drama 1.-The Union
Spy" At Topeka, next Friday and Saturday
nights by the Wichita Guards. There were
about sixty persons engaged in its presenta-
ton here, and the entire caste will go to the
capital on Thursday evenings train. The
party will be entertained at the Tcfft House.
The patrons of public ainusements in the
capital city who witness only the perform
ances Of professionals and who may enter
tain no very exalted idea Of purely amateur
efforts are assured that they cannot afford to
miss seeing the Wichita Guards in ''Tbe

that would succeed upon the regular boards.
At least dozen OF the sixty who take parts
are natural actors. Judge W. =. Campbell,
who plays the Leading part, win be there.
Few professionals can eclipse his finished
characterization. Mrs. Russell, who has =
Statewide reputation rs singer, will take
part Mrs. Selah s. King in the ''old woman"
and Mr. N. Allen in .'the father are hard to
beat. Eugene Schattner, although strictly
speaking is hardly an amateur, in his negro
character will bring down any house. Then
there Is Lieut.. Ask as country BOBBY, and
score OF others. not emitting Freddie Bald
win as the drummer boy. Col. Temple. who
put the play upon the stage, will be on hand
to take the part as the rebel sargeant. But we
can't mention the entire sixty. Whatever
the house may be the first night it will be full
the second. Capt Steele, Col. woodcock
and Lieut.. Ask went to Topeka and made all
arrangements for hotels. railroad fare etc.
We forgot to say that the tableaux are sim
ply magnificent, surprising many OF the
spectacular effects produced by the largest
theatres Of cities.

and fined for an indecent exposure OF his per-
son. Police Judge Shannon went, with re-
quest from the prisoner. to West. the fore
man of the track-layers, to pay the fine,
promising that he would work it out, As he
had no money. West answered that the fine
was too much. but that the boys would bail
him out that night. About Sp. m. crowd
of thirty or forty made an attempt to release
the prisoner by force, when they were Or

a few steps and fell dead. One shot also hit
a boy, and another went through hat. The
