''Reasons Why

''Reasons Why
You should pattonize the great Rock Is
land route:
l. Because it is always first to give
cheap rates.
2. Because it gives to its patrons only
| first class accommodations.
8. Because II runs free chair cars on all
trains and Pullman sleeping cars on all
night trains leaving Wichita.
4. Because its ticket agents Will sell you
tickets and check your baggage to destina-
tons be it east. west, north or south, and
| always ready to give reliable information
5. Because it is noted on account of It's
gentiemanly employees and the attention
paid its patrons.
6. Because it is the only line that ladies
and children can travel over without
worry Or trouble and receive the best of
treatment by all employees.
Z. Because its tracks are of the heaviest
steel rail, rock ballast, iron bridges, com
modious station houses and the finest eat
ing houses in the world.
These are only a few reasons why you are
justified in selecting the great Rock Island
route wnen going on journey for business
or pleasure-for comfort, speed and safety
the Rock Island route is way ahead Call
at the ticket offices of this company for
rates, dates, and routes and further infor-
nation. 200 East Douglas avenue.
io-ti ~. ~ ~ Agent.
The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train servIce.when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronzed. The Missouri
Pacific RytFort Scott Route)offers such in
ducementS as mentioned above and great
many more which space viii not permit to
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the test
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it a trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to st. Louis (by IS miles, as
we'll as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points Before

A WESTERN HUSTLER.
He Invades the Office OF the Second
Assistant Postmaster General.

species of a western cyclone struck the Sec
ond assistant postmaster generals Office to-day.
Col Whitfield was away, but the door leading
from his room into Major Pollock's room was
open. The major was placidly engaged with the
aid of a messenger in affixing his signature to
pile Of papers and thinking about his recent
experiences in the Pine Ridge Indian reserya-
tion when suddenly man rushed through the
door between the rooms and shouted out
SIS Whitfield imp
Tho messenger plainly intimated that the
second assistant postmaster general was out of
the city, while the major was looking at the
visitor to see if it was the President of the
United States or the general of the army.
PULL DOWN THE MAP.
"Pull down the map of New York state" or
dered the stranger, pointing to a roll of maps
hanging ON the wall. Il have seen Clarkson
about that mail route and we have decided it
must be done. / want it done right
away. as / have not been accustomed
to stay about Washington long. / have got
to go up,t the White House to see Harrison
and have an engagement at the Treasury de-
partment to see Window, 30 L haven't much
time"
"Jim." the major managed to gasp out. ad-
dressing the messenger, 'shut the doors; there
must be high wind and something else might
blow in"
The stranger repeated several times that he
had an engagement at the White House. and
then looking at the map few minutes he left
as suddenly as he came in.
NOT LIKE DAKOTA.
The major gazed after his retreating form,
and then remarked confidentially to his clerk,
Mr.. Stone: Il know what they would do with
such fellow if he struck Dakota; but 1 guess"
he added in regretful tone, 1.-The same thing
would not do here"
The major sighed as he took NO his pen
again. MIR. Stone looked sad, and even the
messenger seemed to be depressed by the re-
Election that Washington was not Dakota.

THE ASSESSORS FUND SHORT.
Sunday Work in July will have to be
Provided for by Deficiency Bill.

Messrs. s. NJ. Golden, BENZ. D. Carpenter,
Thos L. Cropley, Fielder P. Hackner, Jno. A.
Rheem, Thos. B. Shoemaker, Abraham F.
Barker, Thos B. Kalbfus E. Nash, VIM. H.
Pritchett VIM. T. Bright and G. Neville
Moore, the subassessors, yesterday after
noon visited the Commissioners with the
object of securing the immediate payment
of the balance due those of them
who claimed payment for work done on Sun
days during July. They also complained that
the payment of the amount due them for work
done on secular days in July was unnecessarily
delayed. Auditor Petty, who was present at
the interview, stated, with reference to the
complaint as to Sunday work, that the payment
of the amount still due the assessors for such
work had not been made for the reason that q
portion of the Indebtedness incurred in the
preparation of the general assessment would
have to be provided for by deficiency appro-
priation and that the claim of the assessors for
the amount due them for Sunday work was not
entitled to preference over the claim of any
other class of creditors to be paid out of that
fund. All the assessors who claimed pay for
Sunday work have received the amount
claimed up to July /.
One of the assessors alleged that payments
had been made from the appropriation for
services not properly chargeable thereto but
the allegation was denied. The interview on
the part of the assessors was spiced with con-
siderable feeling.
With reference to the complaint of delay in
making the payments due for the secular days
work in July the auditor stated that he had
thought it advisable to avoid making an addi-
tional pay roll for the five days in August
which would complete the assessors'term of serv-
ice, and to make one rather than to make two
rolls-one for July and one for the five days in
August-and that he had understood from some
of the assessors that this course was not objec-
tionable to them If he had thought that there
was any imperative necessity for the payment
OF the amount due in July he would have paid
