Kansas for contempt before your
court?" was asked the Judge.
ct cannot say that will, he replied
st do not know enough of the particu-
lars of this move of the attorney gen
eral to talk definitely about the matter,
but a quo warranto would be perfect
ly legitimate or proper move by the
state officials, without bringing them
directly open to charge of contempt
of court. The object of the quo war
ranto in this court would be to termi-
nate the business of this company in
Kansas
Suppose the supreme court sustains
the quo warranto proceedings, what
would be the result?''

SUNDAYS TO K. C.
All the Topeka Roads Will Run
Excursions Beginning
Sunday.

Sunday excursions to Kansas City
will be started on all roads from To-
peka to Kansas City next Sunday. The
Union Pacific road announced a few
days ago that Sunday excursions to
Kansas City would be run semi-month-
~, and to protect themselves the Santa
Fe and Rock Island roads have decid-
ed to do likewise. The Union Pacific
declared rate of $3.50 for the round
trip, and this rate will be made by the
other two roads. AS the Santa Fe train
leaves at a more convenient hour 7:30
in the morning, than the trains of eth
er of the other roads, the Sunday ex-
curSionS may precipitate a small sized
rate war. No Sunday excursions have
been run to Kansas City since the sum-

AS TO PUBLIC COMFORT
Provision Should Be Made Soon
For Taking Care
OF $4,000 Visitors to the Fall
Festival.
Bureau of Public Comfort Will Prob.
ably Have Much More Business
Than Last Year.

1t is well for Topeka people to begin
to make plans for providing for the
comfort of at least $4,000 visitors to the
Fall Festival The attendance. cannot
be much less than that and it may be
much more.
1t is going to be the supreme effort
of the city's existence.
Last year we took care of $4,000
people for five days and did it we'll
Our visitors were pleased, even delight
ed.
This year we are going to have a
large class of people who will not want
to camp out. They will want COM
Portable rooms and it is going to tax
the capacity of the city to supply them.
All the railroad people, who, with their
families and relatives, are likely to
number 10000, will not be content to go
to the fair grounds and take tents even
free of charge. Many will want COM
Portable beds and the conveniences of
life; likewise the visiting members of
fraternal orders who will also be num-
bered by thousands. 1t may be neces-
sary to turn every lodge room in town
into dormitory provided with cots.
The probabilities as recited above
make the duties of the Committee on
Public Comfort much more important
than they were last year.
The Committee on Public Comfort is
composed of MeSSrS. Walter Noble, r.
S. Brigham and D. ]. Greenwald, three
of the most active members of the
Committee of Fifteen. AS soon as pos
sible arrangements should be made for
opening a registration of rooms for rent
at reasonable figures. Visitors regard
reasonable figures AT about so cents
a night for lodging; for extra good
rooms 81 a night. Any higher charges
than these will be called exorbitant by
the average Kansas man, and Topeka
sincerely desires to avoid any accusa-
ton of extortion.
Last year the hotel and restaurant
rates all over the city remained just
as they were on ordinary occasions,
and there was no room for complaint.
1t is the intention of the Bureau of
Public Comfort this year to have its
office on Kansas avenue in conspicu-
Gus place with large sign and plenty
of assistants to answer questions.

COMING WITH WAGONS.
Fire Departments to Bring Apparatus
This Year

Chief Wilmarth of the fire depart
ment is receiving an immense mail
every day about the fremen's tourna-
Inent which is to be given during the
Fall Festival. A letter has been re
ceived from Arkansas City stating that
they will come with hose wagon and
team and eight firemen. This is a paid
department. They also ask if any
prizes are offered for contests between
paid departments. Last year Emporia
brought hose wagon and team. This
year it is probable that several other
towns will bring their apparatus. An
effort will be made to secure prize for
a contest in quick hitching and making
a run, to be participated in by paid de-
partments. Then wagons and teams
could probably be secured from Atchi-
son, Leavenworth, Kansas City, Kan,
Emporia and Arkansas City.
Chief Wilmarth has received word
that representation will be sent from
Kansas City from the fire insurance
patrol.
The indications are that the attend
ance of firenen will be at least so per
cent larger this year, and that the tour
nament will be much more interesting
and exciting.

JUMBO GOES At LAST.

The city council last night accepted
the proposition to trade Jumbo the
big street roller, for a quantity of
street apparatus. The value of the ap
paratus is $500. Thus has old Jumbo

S., 900 for him and he was the delight of
the city. Now he old and too heavy
to use and he will be traded for COM

TO CARRY WIRES ON THE BRIDGE
Fire Marshal Wilmarth has two plans
for carrying electric light and fire
alarm wires over the new bridge. One
is by wooden conduitS under the sur
face of the roadway and the other is
by iron arms fastened to the side of the
bridge. He recommends the conduit
system, which will cost $434 so. The cost
of the other system would be consider
ably less, but it is less desirable in
many ways.

we talked the more his wonderful eyes
glowed and lightened. Yet their pow

and there was caress in his tones

three days later when I awakened in a

magic electricity developed through a

1T was the cigar, of course

had nothing worse in it than pure to-
bacco. You can't cry hallucination to
me as some of our ancestors cried
'witchcraft' when unexplained phenom-
