government directors of the Union Pa

tour of inspection of the Union Pacific
system for the purpose of obtaining suf-

with the four other government directors
upon some feasible plan for fair settle
ment of the roads indebtedness to the
government. In speaking of the pros
poets of the road he said:
"With good management the Union
Pacific ought to experience great pros
perity, but there are some serious mis-
takes which will have to be rectified be-
fore it can be placed on a sound financial
footing. This over bonding and over
capitalization have shown their evil eff
fects. The road has got to get down to a
business basis before it can be operated
with profit and in a manner that will
permit payment of its obligations"

SIMON HAS AN IDEA.
Greenspan Makes a Suggestion to
the City Council
THAT WOULD RAISE $4,000.

Put Is Cent Fee on All Drug Store
Liquor BaIes-The Plan Received
Doubtfully-OtherC City Matters.
When Simon Greenspan evolved the
idea of levying license on the drug
gists who sell liquor in Topeka he was
pleased with it, The more he thought
of it the better he liked the scheme.
After Simon had carefully nursed his
scheme and had told his most intimate
friends he drew up a long resolution to
be introduced at the council meeting
embodying the plan.
He was at the council meeting early
and passed from one councilman to an
other unfolding his plan.
The councimen were non-committal.
Councilman Elliott listened uneasily,
cleared his throat but said nothing.
Councilman Burgess said, "Well, don't
know about that" Councilman Stevens
said, well, that is a new scheme, isn't
itf" Councilman Skinner said, alright
scheme Simon" but he received no en-
enlargement.
In his resolution he said that the
druggists make 800 per cent on all liquor
sold and that as there are between $4,000
and $4,000 sales made every year at tax
of twenty five cents on each sale the city
would derive a revenue of at least $780,

Three Old Soldiers RObbed-TWO Of
Them Drank Too Much Liquor.
Yesterday was an unusually disastrous
day for pension payments to the old
soldiers of Topeka Up to this time three
veterans have been robbed of portion
or all of their quarterly pensions, and in
each case the robber was apprehended
and caught
John Smith was one of the old soldiers
who drew 800 pension yesterday. AT
4:30 yesterday afternoon he was arrested
for being drunk. He was released at
about supper time with $8160 in his
pocket. Last night late Smith was again
arrested, in a worse state of intoxicatlon
than the first time, and a search of his
pockets showed that he was penniless.
Smith did not know who had robbed
him, but described the persons he had
been with, and the police recognized
from the description Jack McClurg and
clip Tack. McClurg was arrested at
McCurdy's livery stable, where he
worked as a Toustabout He denied and
still denies his guilt, but careful search
resulted in finding the missing money in
his shoe. Then McClurg said Smith had
given him the money to keep until
the next day, but Smith says
he didn't Lii Tack told the police that
Jack wanted her to rob the old man but
she refused. and McClurg then did the
job himself. As soon as Smith was re-
leased in the afternoon he fell in with
McClurg who proceeded to buy more
whisky and get the old soldier drunk
again. The robbery appears to have
been carefully planned
Charles Kane, a young man 20 years
old, was fined $50 in court today for
robbing an old soldier named Ward of a
pension amounting to something less
than $25 Ward was found in barn in
North Topeka and the evidence showed
that Kane had got the old man drunk
and taken him to the barn. The evil
deuce was all circumstantial.

Andy Ellis drew his quarterly pension
yesterday and paid his debts with it
When he had paid his debts he had just
10 cents left He gave Fred 10 cents OF
this and then went to sleep. When he
| awoke he found that Fred had gone
through his trousers and taken the re-
naming 65 cents. Fred admitted it.
The financial loss wasn't so much as
the thought that his own son woule rob
him of his last cent, so the father had
Fred arrested and ten days on the rock
! pile may do him good.

TON DIXON'S NEW LECTJRE1

Rey. Thomas Dixon, of New York,
lectured in Raleigh last Friday night
on "The Woman Of the Future" The
lecture Is said to be the finest he has
yet delivered. It deprecates, in the
main, the tendency towards woman SUI
frage. Mr. Dixon says that no ballot
has force that has not the potentiailtv
of the bayonet behind It, This wom-
an can not exercise. Woman's power.
he says, is IN the sceptre of love. He
says there are men enough on this
earth to do the work of the world if
every man would work four hours each
day.
The News & Observers closing para
graph of the report of the lecture paid
Mr.. Dixon this high compliment
"Thus had Tom Dixon acquitted
himself, though this sketch is but a
paltry peep through the fence at the
man as he really appeared He has
grown in power, and specially in the
logical department OF his mind He
used to prove propositions too much by
illustrations, which tempts greater men
than he whose minds are full of rich
poetlcal pictures as is his. He has
stopped this his illustrations are get
ting to be subordinate, which is the
mark OF the reasons advance. But
they are glorious, and put with origi-
nal passion and grace which adds a
touch almost of bewilderment to admi-
ration.
tom Dixon is a big man. He is no
longer an experiment. He is an ele-
mental force IN the great makeup of
the present outht Of big men in Amer
lea. The age is full of problems and
outcomes. interesting because they are
unknown. These problems have the

yEIF HISTORY or TIE UNIT
Ed STA TIES.

The new school History Of the Unit
ed States, by Mrs Susan Pendleton Lee,
is a most valuable work.
In the preface the author says
"Nost Of the School Histories now in
use tell in detail the story Of the north
ern half Of the country, while only a
few chapters are devoted TO II southern
belf. Tn this book an honest effort is
made to speak truthfully OF both with
out sectional passion Or prejudice. And
the effort is altogether successful, for the
history Of our country is told faithfully
and interestingly, and with just as
much candor and freedom from bias Tor
the neriod from 1860 to 1880 as for the
neriod that -tetches from the discovery
If the country to the outbreak OF the
civil war.
The book is cony eniently divid-
ed into short chapters, Just long
enough tor ordinary use in schools and
academies. The dates are arranged SO
as to be easily remembered, the story II
.oJl IN n ,,aoet charming style, and the
book from first to last is almost as inter
estlng as fairy tale. We have read 1t
carefully, and somewhat critically, and
feel free to recommend it to all teachers
who desire to give to their pupils a
thrilling account Of the settlement Of
the country, a true story of the late
war and bright glimpse at the prog
ress Of the country during the last few
decades.
