BETTER TIMES In PROSPECT.
LITTLE PASSENGER BUSINESS DUR
ING THE PAST TWO MONTHS.
Earnings of the Burlington and Can

eral Railroad News.

The net earnings Of the Burlington sys-
tenn for the month of September were $751;
664, a decrease of s114.5s0 compared with
the same month of last year. The net
earnings of the system from the first of
the year to September 80 were s4,523,OS2. an
increase of $217,6S5 compared with the cor
responding period of last year.
The net earnings of the Canadian Pacific

an increase Of $13,7S3. The net earnings
from the first of the year to September 80
have been S, BIG, 331, an increase of sSS7,5lS
over the same period of the preceding year.
The Western roads say that they can see
a glimpse of better times in the passenger
business, and a number of excursions have
been arranged for Colorado and California
points There has been no business worth
mentioning for the last two months, and
the passenger receipts of some of the West
ern roads would make but sorry showing
if they were published. The lack of busi-
ness has been laid almost entirely to the
election, and when the excitement of the
campaign is over they are all looking for
business to pick up. 1t can hardly be
worse than it has been.

FURRY IN THE MONEY MARKET.
Call Loans Jump From o to 100 Per
Cent In New York in
Few Hours.

New York. Oct. 29-The approach of the
election was signalzed in financial circles
here to-day by a rapid and remarkable ad-
vance in the money market. Soon after
the opening of the exchange for business
to-day. there was a great demand for call
money. which opened at 10 per cent. 1 per
cent higher than the average rate yester-
day. when it f1uctuated between and II
per cent. BY leaps and bounds the rate
advanced. until at noon so per cent was
demanded for cash loans. The demand
sent the rates up until late in the day,
when 100 per cent was aked and so per
cent bid. This was the closing quotation.
The jump to 100 per cent began gradually
and proceeded amid much excitement The
first loan was made at 10 per cent and the
rate then advanced to Is per cent and
finally about 2:30 p. m. broker who
waEted money was compelled to bid the
rate up to so per cent before he could Sc
cure the required accommodation. The
price then f1uctuated between 10 and so per
cent. Business was only moderate. as Of
ferings of funds were extremely light. AS
the demand for money increased, the price
asked increased by tens from so to co. then
to 20 until the maximum was reached.
The immediate cause of the stringency
was the calling of loans by some of the
banks that wished to prepare themselves
for possible large demands tomorrow.
Predictions are current in the street Of
materially higher figures in money to-
morrow. but some leading bankers express
the opinion that the worst of the furry
has been seen.
Money has not been so high since the
Barring, panics some years ago, when it
went skyward in the same way.

THE CABLE WAS CUT.
Main Street Line Grip Plays Havoc
With the Ninth Street Rope.

serious accident occurred on the Ninth
street line at the Junction last evening at
O'Clock. which closed the East Ninth
street, Independence avenue and Troost
avenue lines for the remainder of the
night. The Summit street line continued
traffic by switching the cars at the Wash
ington street power house. AS a north
bound Main street car was crossing the
Ninth street line. the Main street cable,
which runs under the Ninth street rope,
slipped from beneath the gypsy" which
holds the rope a couple OF feet below the
other one. and the gripman was unable to
release his grip, consequently cutting the
upper rope. The car passed on just in time
to clear a TrooSt avenue train, which was
heavily loaded with passengers, and was
part way up the steep grade when the
rope parted, and the car retreated down
the grade. The gripman applied all his
brakes and no accident occurred to the
car.
When the Ninth street cable was parted
the tension, which is extremely heavy on
account of the many hills on the line.
caused the two ends of the rope to fly
through the conduit in opposite directions
for a considerable distance. The east end
was found opposite the Rialto building, a
distance of nearly two blocks. while the
other end was found at Baltimore avenue.
This is the first time that the Ninth street
cable has been cut for three years.

Team to Pass the 500 Mark-Sat-

Sporting News.

The Acmes and the Midnights were the
competing teams in last nights bowling

was expected that the game would result
in victory for the Acmes, and it did. but
the margin was not large, neither team,
with the exception of two or three bowlers.
bowling up to form.
There was one peculiar thing about the
game. The teams made exactly the same
number of strikes and the Midnights made
one more spare than did the Acmes, while
the missed spares were ~ for the Acmes
to IS for the Midnights, and yet the latter
team was defeated by the score of 2sS9 to
219l The explanation for this lies in the
fact that the Acmes punched nearly all
their strikes. they getting six doubles,
triple and quad Hale being RESPONSE
BILE for the latter. King was the only
bowler of the Midnights who had any luck
in punching his strikes, getting in two
triples and a double.
Hale was the high bowler of the Acmes
and of the game, getting nicely over the
500 mark, with sic Offutt, who finished
second with the GOOD score of iS1, had a big
game up tG the last five frames, but fell
down at the end. His strike ball was all
right, but his second ball work was not up
to his mark. Barse, in the face of many
hard luck splits, bowled a fair score, but
Eopf was below the average, and Ruble
just failed TO reach 400 by missing spare
1n his last frame.
King was the leader of the AIidnights
with the excellent score of $780, closely fol-
lowed by George Nichols with Az. The
other bowlers were all low, Kendall bring
ing up the rear with 405. Kendall and
Ruble tied for the missed spare record
with eleven each, while Hale and Nichols
did the best second ball work with only
four misses each.

EMPLOYEES TO OWN ROADS.
Plan on the Illinois Central Works
Like n Charm.


The plan instituted some time ago by
President Stuyvesant Fish of allowing en-
ployes to purchase stock in the Illinois
Central road. and thus acquire a personal
interest in the property, is reported to be
an unqualified success. Many of the en-
ployes have availed themselves of the op-
portunity. and good results are shown by
the increased attention these men pay to
their work and the greater interest they
take in the affairs of the road. The same
plan is now being introduced by the COM
pany upon the newly acquired Louisville
line formerly the Chesapeake. Ohio &
Southwestern), with gratifying results.
Circulars have been sent ont, and many of
the employees are quick to take advantage
of the favorable offer.
Under the terms shares of stock, the par
value of which is 800 ard the present mar
ket value s92, can be purchased on install
ments of $ monthly. Four per cent inter-
est is. paid on deposits, and the per cent
dividends arc paid on the stock, with pros
poets of higher dividends in the near fut-
ure. Shares can be bought outright in any
number for spot cash, but only one share
at a time is sold on the installment plan
President Fish hopes soon to have a large
percentage of the Illinois Central stock
owned by the employees of the road.

"oWLs" TO RESUME.
The 81" Road Will Again Run Hourly
Trains After Midnight.

General Manager Holmef of the Metro
politan Street Railway Company announced
yesterday that the owl car service on
the IL" road would be resumed tomorrow
night. These cars make hourly trips after
midnight between the two Kansas Citys
and are largely .patronized. Since the re-
opening of the ''L" road after the build
ing of the new bridge across the Kaw
river the owl cars have not been run,
owing to the necessity of closing down
the bridge after midnight in order to COM
plete many of its minor details. AS the
''L" road has been the only means of trans
portation between the two cities after mid
night, those Kansans whose business keeps
them until after that hour have been great
ly inconvenienced since its suspension.
1t was also announced that probably the
whole Metropolitan system would be run
until after the local election returns are in
on next Tuesday night in order to accom-
nodate those remaining down town until
that time.

Medical college and the Kansas State Uni

Coach Taylor, of the Medics. has had the
boys hard at work practicing line plays
and the Jawhawkers will have an extreme
" hard game IL they defeat them, as a

The Animal insisted ON Going to Jail
With Its Master.
Antonio Walbita, with his organ and his
monkey. stood near Loose Bros. candy and
cracker mandatory at Second and Main
streets yesterday afternoon and played
sweet music while the monkey danced and
climbed up the wall for pennies. The girls
who work in the factory all ran to the win
dows when they heard the music and would
not leave until the monkey was taken
away. Finally the cracker people asked
for a policemen to be sent to arrest the
Italian so the girls could go back to work,
and the little circus was carted away to
Central police station. When Antonio was
ordered to the lookup, his monkey pleaded
for him and would not be appeased until

J. F. Smith, sign painter, whose home
was at Nineteenth and Troost, where he
lived with his young wife and mother. has
left Kansas City for parts unknown, after
victimizing number of business firms
with forged checks for small sums. One
of these checks for SIS was cashed by E.
A. Fetting, the painter, and to make the
forgery palmer Smith had signed to the
check the name of Jerry Simpson Jerry

ing to make him out a plutocrat with a
bank account. Another check for $1s was
cashed by Otto's restaurant on Fifth
