THE "KArY's" NEW CHAIR CARS.
Seventeen of Them Put on the System to
the Great Pride of Receiver Eddy.

George c. Eddy, one of the receivers Of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway.
was at the Union depot this morning on his
way TO Sedalia, says the Kansas City Star.
Mr. Eddy returned Saturday from Hot
Springs. Ark, where his family is enjoying
a temporary vacation. He Will return to
Hot Springs some time during the week.
Mr.. Eddy is proud of seventeen new chair
cars Just made AT st. Charles for the
katy" They cost about 5000 apiece and
are the newest things out The chair is so
simple that the greenest man on earth can
manipulate the back so as 10 insure repOse,
and MIR Eddy believes that a man can sleep
better in one of these chairs than in one OF
Pullman'S berthS. The cars are distributed
over the entire system.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas is still
under the jurisdiction of the United States
circuit court of Kansas, and when Judge
Brewer left the bench to go the supreme
court the katy receivership case was the
most important one turned over TO Judge
Foster On account Of serious illness Judge
Foster is unable to give attention to court
work, and whenever the receivers want an
order ratified they go to Judge Fosters
house to see him. Early in MAY he will de-
part for Europe to derive benefit, if posi-
bic. from the springs AT Carlsbad.

That the Indians made sugar from times
unknown is proved by their language, fes-
rivals and traditions. Several authors of
early times, telling of their visits to the
Indians, mention maple sugar, and one OF
them, in 11a6, describes the Indians
method of preparing it. The gathering of
sap and making of sugar formed one Of
their annual religious ceremonies.
