robbery and accident that has happen
ed here within a short time
This place has for 200 years been
rendezvous for highway robbers and
notorious characters that live and do
business in the silent hours Of the
night People have been robbed within
a few feet of this place and but little
said about 1T by any one, because Of its
frequency
The old remains Of a dugout made by
the Union Pacific company about IS
years go and now covered by a growth
of trees. has been a hiding place for
robbers where they secret themselves
when pursued Tramps from Kansas
City stop here to recruit before entering
the city, and when they stop it is evil
dence that they are robbers Sometimes
when the weather is warm as high as
20 of these unfOrtunates camp for day
OF two and forage at night In conjunc-
tion with these there have been some
characters from the city who have made
midnight raids on the corners and goers
from the city. Some months ago a man
and a woman began business at this
stand and failed and We're arrested
Crap shooting on the tank platform
has been a favorite pasttime on sun
day afternoons for five years or more
by the lOa fers of North Lawrence

With Good Pacing.

Worth Interesting.

New York, Oct 31-Constant Huret,
the marvellous French long distance
racing man. broke the worlds record
Oct. II by riding 545 miles 1910 yards in
q hours There is possibility, how
ever. that Huret's new mark may not
be recognized as a worlds record as
the ride was made on an indoor track.
In his wonderful ride Huret shattered
all manner of records. The 200 kilo-
meter mark, the only record remaining
to the credit of the late Arthur Linton,
was beaten by nearly u miles.
He rode magnificenty piling up lap
after lap and mile after mile After
once getting among the records he con
tinued to send them flying during the
length of the ride.
His first stop of any length was dur
ing the 18th hour when he left the track
for ten minutes to be rubbed down
rested again for several minutes. As
the day wore on the track filed up with
spectators who were anxious to see the
finish.
Arend and Jacquelin, on a tandem,
paced Huret part of Sunday afternoon.
Their appearance on the track was
cheered. The applause encOura ged and
perceptbly stimulated Huret. and he
repeatedly rode lap after lap in .27 ex-
actly the same pace is when he started.
After riding % hours "A minutes and
81 seconds Huret passed the former
worlds record of SO miles, and he had
40 minutes and % seconds in which to
unish his superb ride He rode SIS. 225
kilOmeters (545 miles 1910 yards) in the
q hours and finished remarkably fresh.
Given a better track, he said he would
have reached the 900 l1ilometer mark
The boards were loose in places which
considerably interfered with his rid
ing

OLD MAN LOST HIS HEAD.
Called His Bryan Auditors sap-head-
ed Fools.

ed FOOLS.
Kansas City. Mo, Oct ST am
pleased to see you all with a few ex-
ceptions. see a sap headed fool out
there with a Bryan picture Why
doesn't he come out from behind the
picture so we can all see who he is?
I have observed all through this cam
paign that the men who say they are
for Bryan have to go labeled with their
candidates name. so they viii not for
get whom they are for
Thus spoke General Palmer, the gold
standard candidate for president, at
Paris, Mo, yesterday. The special train
which bore General Palmer and Mrs.
Palmer General Bucl1ner and Mrs.
Buckner, had just arrived from Hanni-
bal.
General Palmer. after INDUCING in a
few more remarks of the same nature,
gave way to General Buckner. A keen,
cutting voice sang out in shril notes,
'Hurrah for Bryan as General Buck
ner stepped to the front
oh, yes" peevishly exclaimed the
white haired Kentuckian, you can
sholle1' mighty loud for Bryan, but not
one of you can give a sensible reason
Maybe the man who is screechlng
Bryan's name out there so loudly can
count as much as a hundred without
making a mistake, but I doubt it, /
also doubt that he knows the alphabet,
and am certain he can't say it back
ward. The gabble Of a fool is utterly
incomprehensible to me, and therefore
III pay no further attention to what he
may have to say
