TO BOOM KANSAS.
A committee composed of President
Jameson of Leavenworth, and Messrs.
York, Wells and Duncan OF Salina,
all OF the Kansas Real Estate asso-
citation, were in Topeka one day last
week in conference with officials Of the
Santa Fe railroad over the project to
boom Kansas by sending east a train
load of her products the coming fall
The railroad officials profess TO be
much taken with the idea and will
cooperate with the real estate asso-
citation in preparing and forwarding
the exhibit.
1t is proposed that the train shall
start from Kansas about October l,
going to Chicago with occasional stops
at several Of the larger towns in Iii
nois. In Chicago stay Of several days
will be made and the train will then
proceed east. Two routes are propos-
ed out Of Chicago-one through Indiana
on the Fort Wayne road, through the
settled portions of Ohio and the
mining districts of Pennsylvania to
Pittsburg, thence through Harrisburg
TO Philadelphia, and on to New York;
the other from Chicago to Toledo;
thence along the Lake Shore through
Cleveland to Buffalo and then through
the Empire state to New York city. 1t
Is expected that about twenty-five
days will be consumed in this trip.
Upon arrival in New York it is pro-
posed to present the entire tTainload Of
truck, in the name of the rich and hap
py to the mayor OF the city for distri-
button among the poor.
President Jameson believes that for
the makeup Of the train there W i'll
be no lack Of contributions. He saws
that he already has voluntary contri-
buttons enough to fill FIVE cars, and that
sufficient 10 load enc engine can be OBJ
tanned in two weeks. 1t is proposed to
load the cars with corn and small grain
and fruits, mineral specimens, vege-
tables, manufactured articles; indeed.
with everything which the state pro-
duces, and dozen prominent men are
TO be drafted into service to go along
and make speeches.
President Jameson speaks Of the en- |
IerprSe as an assured success The |
annual meeting of the association at
Saline on September will put its Off I
cial stamp upon it. but in the mean |
time the officers of the association are |
proceeding as though II was a settled |
TACT. The meeting at Salina is expect !
cd TO be one of the largest ever held IN |

States district judge for the district of |
kansas, have both been set for TIE Sep
TEMPER term of court-the one in Tone /
ka and the other in Atchison The i'm
possibility of both suits going on AZ
once is obvious, and it is altogether
likely that the Topeka suit will he most
ooned until after the Atchison suit has
oeen tried. Lieutenant Governor Tr~rui.-
nan, who VIII appear as attorney for
MAJOR HUDSON, went to Atchison last |
week IN the interest OF the major. and
