A MODEL VACATION.
An Inexpensive Trip to the Lakes For
Rest and Recuperation.

One of the most delightful and rest
full trips a business man may take with
his family in August is to board the
steel steamer Manitou at Chicago and
go to AIackinac island.
The Manitou is one of the handsomest
pieces of marine architecture in exist
ence and is modelled after an ocean
steamship with all the modern safety
appliances and construction.
The saiIings are from the dock at the
north end of the Rush street bridge,
Chicago, foot of Michigan avenue, every
other week day: Tuesday q. m:
Thursday at IL a. m. and Saturday
p. m.
The ride to Mackinac Island covers
twenty-five hours-the round trip is
seven hundred miles and the ticket IS
rooms are extra. The former are sew
enty-fiye cents and a dollar and the
state rooms are from one dollar TO SS-0O
each way, the latter for two people
No matter how hot the weather on
shore, as soon as the boat gets into the
lake the temperature is cool, the air
bracing and full Of oxygen, with no
dust.
An increasing number of Topeka and
Kansas people make this trip every
summer and receive great Dement'S
from it. Sometimes a party. goes up
one day to Mackinac and right back
just for the lake ride.
The best way is to remain few days
and take a smaller steamer-fare one
dollar round trip-from Mackinac to
the Cheneaux, pronounced snow" isl
ands-a clOster of a hundred small
islands lying fourteen miles from Mack
mac and along the shore of the north
end of Lake Huron.
These islands vary in size from a few
hundred square feet to several square
miles and in the channels between are
among the best fishing grounds in
America. The hotel accommodations
at the islands vary from eight TO four
teen dollars a week. For the latter
price at the ISingtOn Hotel, most COM
excellent meals In August the days
and evenings are always cool, and fire
logs are burned in the hotel Office and
parlor fire places at night.
At the Snow islands boats with
fishing outfits, complete cost one dollar
per day.
Information about the trip to Macl1i-
nae, Harbor Springs and Charlevois,
and reservations of state rooms can be
obtained promptly by writing Joseph
BerOlZheim, general passenger agent,
Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
bridge dock, Chicago. Mr.. BerOlZheim
has been with the company many years
and is most careful and painStaking in
arranging for the comfort and pleasure
of the cOmpany's patrons. A trip on
the ManitOu costs little mOney-7O0

of Topeka people to be one of the most
satisfactory in every way that is offer
ed to all who can spare a few days and
a few dollars The trip is worth a whole
course of medical treatment to those
who need recuperation and is one of
the cheapest and best means of pre-
serving good health.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Change in the Operating Depart
ment of the Santa Fe.
w. A. BisselI Not Affected by
Mr.. Gays appointment.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road Matters-Personals and
Miscellaneous

It is probable that there will be a
change in the operating department of
the middle division of the Santa Fe in
a few days. The change has not been
definitely settled, but it will probably
go through as now decided upon.
The middle division is one of the
longest divisions in the system. and up
to several months ago was handled by
two trainmasters, Saunders of Emporia
and Bailey of Newton. In the interest
of economy the trainmaster's office at
Emporia was abolished, and the entire
work placed in charge of Trainmaster
Bailey of Newton. This arrangement
has not given the best of satisfaction,
and Trainmaster Bailey will now be
transferred to Emporia, and Assistant
Trainmaster Battey stationed at Nick
erson. This will more evenly divide
the work of the division, and better
service is expected.

HOW THE ECLIPSE LOOKED.
There Was Total Darkness For 100
Seconds.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times has a
dispatch from g, correspondent at Vad-

point observations were taken by Mr..
Downing, superintendent of the Brit
ish nautical almanac and a number of
other English astronomers. including
Sir Robert Ball Of Cambridge.
This correspondent describes the inn
pressive scene of the moons shadow
sweeping over the earth at the moment
of the totality of the eclipse.
THE view from DR.. Commons OBJ
servatory," he says, extended for
thirty miles up Varanger Fjord to the
mountains opposite. The deep purple
shadow plunged the mountains in tenn
porary obscurity. AS it advanced
across the Fjord, the shadow envel-
tails of the rigging disappeared from
view and the ships light came forth
brilliantly Then the shadow pressed
on with majestic speed "a mile in every
two seconds. 1t moved as swiftly as
a cannon ball until it reached the OBJ
servers at VaGzOe, announcing the to-
tality of the eclipse.
Complete darkn less lasted for one

Gle hushed every one to silence. A few
startled birds hurried past the camp.
Although all visitors felt that the mag

the labors were hardly anything. The
light around was not greater than
that of full moon. but in the dis

had disappeared. Jackson was not
certain that his companion had sunk,
but he called to the guard that man
had gone under. The guard, he says,
delayed coming. When he did arrive
at the spot with the boat he did not
make a thorough search. Several bath
erS dived where the young man had
last been seen, but to no avail There
were about so persons on the beach at
the time, but none Of them told of hav-
ing seen young Barren sink. The body
was not found until about 10 o'clock
when the park policeman recovered it
40 feet from where Barren was last
seen.
