railroads are reducing forces This is
partly due to the drought. though it
has been going on in some lines for
some time. A Burlington official yes
terday, in speaking about the whole
sale discharge Of employees now going
on. said:
''I believe it would be a conserva-
tive estimate to say that 1900 man on
the Burlington system have been dis
charged since June l. During July
the greatest mum Der of employees were
dismissed from service through no
fault of their own, but because bust e
ness would not warrant their further
continuance. Wherever posi- ole
forces are being reduced, section
crews being cut down, train men are
given service letters, shop and round
house men are being laid off and
clerks in the various Offices are re-
quired to work additional time. In
fact wherever possible salaries are
being saved and forces reduced. It is
impossi BILE where to say this whole
sale decapitation will end
But The Burlington IS not alone in
reducing forces. 1t is pretty general
" thought the Union Pacific will also
make another reduction in forces, and
even salaries may be cut if the court
can be brought to that way Of think

In a recent book on ''Pets and How

the Bul I'm the House
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-There was
IN effort yesterday to get the lottery
bill through the house. The speaker
recognized Judge Frederick for the
purpose of calling up the bill When
the bill was called mp Davis of Louisi-
ana objected to its consideration and
went over for the session.
Washington newspapers yesterday
on blished q circular sent out by the
Louisiana Lottery company Of Kan
Sns City, Kan, and marked cOnfiden-
tinl, which has been received here.
2 +. Stiles, the president of the com
pany, il the author Of the circulars,
accompanying which are instructions
showing how the present law may be
svaded- Although this circular has
done something toward opening the
Syes of the law makers, a letter from
Chief Speers Of Kansas City to Con-
FRESHMAN Broderick has accomplished
far more. If the Kansas City chief is
to be believed, there are twelve lot
terry concerns now doing business in
Kansas City, Kan. and they are build
ing up business which, in the lam
rruage of Chief Speers. twill be greater
than that of the Louisiana lottery in
it's palIniest days"
After calling attention 20 the fact
that 1.-The old time interest and ex-
element in lottery prizes has largely
died out" President Stiles says: IF
some we1l-known man like yourself
should draw SIS. 900, $4,000, So, 600 or
even 81, 600 in our lottery it would be
the means of selling thousands Of our
tickets in your part of the country,
and would create an Old-time boom
for us again. We will certainly do
our part to again awaken public in
interest in lotteries in your To-
cality if you will do yours" A
commission of twenty five per cent
is offered the local agent, and the
instructions tell how the express COM
panies may be used in order to avoid
arrest. An envelope IS sent which
contains a single ticket and the
agent is directed to sell this ticket to
some inhue ntial person who would be
willing to let his name be used IN
case he drew q prize Among other
interesting announcements in the list
of instructions is the following: ''Oc-
casionally, in small towns, there is a
foolish prejudice against lotteries,
and agents do not care to be known

The Little King Ruled wen.

Another pretty little story is told Of
tho young King Alphonso Of Spain. The
queen regent, as is natural to expect,
has taken great pains to teach her little
son her own native tongue, German.
To accomplish this thoroughly and rap
idly she herself compiled a grammar
and primer for his use Short poems
take up good part of the book One
Of these especially interested his little
majesty, to the great delight Of the
queen 1t was entitled what One
Should Do, and ends with the line,
''Kings must rule well. -
Alphonso learned the poem by heart
and easily, for he has a remarkable
memory. One evening, when his mother
had given him his good night kiss, he
asked as usual, cart thou content with
me today?' When her majesty express
ed her approval of his conduct, the little
fellows face frightened up for a mo-
ment, and he proudly said:
Eyes, 1 have in truth ruled we'll to-
day.

NEW POLICY ORDINANCE.
One VIII Be introduced at the Next Coun-
ell Meeting.

One VIII Be introduced at the Next Coun-
ell Meeting.
The policy business in Topeka is still
booming. but its days are numbered The
city attorney is now writing an ordinance
which will apply to this particular bust
ness, SO that the police can no longer
have any excuse for not mOlesting these
places.
The city attorney made a search for
the old ordinance drawn up about year
ago, but it is still in Oblivion. An ordi-
nance was found among those not pub
lished which prohibits the sale of goods
with a lottery business attached. This
was enacted to reach a tailoring house,
which once did business at the corner of
Sixth and Kansas avenues with a lottery
scheme. The place was closed and the
ordinance has been forgotten. There is
a question whether il would apply to the
policy business or the sale of lottery
tickets, so q new ordinance about which
there can be no doubt will be introduced.
The new ordinance will prohibit e5-
pecially the games of policy and equal
ity, and it will also prohibit the sale of
lottery tickets in the city. The penalties
have not been decided upon, but they
will be made sufficiently severe to effect
ually prevent the business, If the police
do their duty.

Got Enough.

The three boys who ran away from
their homes in Portland and were taken
in charge by the city marshal yesterday,
were no doubt much pleased last night
when the father of one of them arrived.
He took the whole lot back with him
this morning. Marshal Blakeney gave
the boys good lesson; not treating
them harshly, but making them under
stand they were not attending picnic.
The boys got mad when locked in the
corridor of the city Jail, and destroyed
what provisions they had with them.
In consequence they got nothing to eat
until supper time, at which time their
appetites were handy. One of them was
heard to remark to the others yester-
day that he chad all the tough life
he wanted" and the others tearfulIy
agreed with him. They will enjoy their
Thanksgiving dinner at home tomorrow,
and no doubt their respective mothers
will be more than thankful to know that
her boy is safe at home.
