The Lone Woman Traveller.

A recent issue of Fashions" an illus
trated monthly journal for women, has
an interesting article on women trav-
cling alone, in which, after referring to
the block signal system, and other
safety devices for which the New York
Central is celebrated, this statement is
made:
If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York city, she need have
no dread of landinaalone in the confus-
ion of a big, strange place, if she trav
els by the New York Central. All she
has to do is to speak to one of the red
capped attendants-free service-who
will carry her bag, answer her ques
lions and show her to a cab, car, or ell
eVated train.
Another thing she lands right in the
heart of the city, within a step of a
dozen or more of its leading hotels
and she should bear in mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all New
York city.
The New York Central might aptly
be called the lone woman's route"

rr,a second performance of the TEN

better than the performance on Weoiles-

nroductihn was handled in an aofnlrdoie
manner. ~

ABOUT LINE OF MARCH.
Several Miles Needed to PreventLong
Professions From Tangling Up.

While the Committee of Fifteen last
night discussed the question of the route
for the parades of Fall Festival week,
no conclusion was reached. a gentle
man who had a good deal to do with
last years professions outlines a line of
march which seems to be good. 1t is
as follows:
Each parade to form at Tenth and
Quincy, utilizing adjacent streets for
purposes of formation Professions to
move north on Quincy to Second, west
on Second to Kansas avenue, south on
Kansas avenue to Ninth, west on Ninth
to Jackson (where President Ripley'S
reviewing stand will be situated on
Santa Fe day., south on Jackson to
Tenth, west on Tenth to Harrison north
on Harrison to Fourth, east on Fourth
TO Van Buren,, south on Van Buren, to
Sixth, east on Sixth to Quincy and dis
band. This would make the route suf-
ficiently long to prevent the tangling up
of the Santa Fe and floral parades,
which will be the longest. The mill
tary parade on Friday night might vary
this line of march and move direct to
the fair grounds from the corner of
Tenth and Harrison. The KarnivaI
Knights parade will also have a separ-
ate route, being around Capitol square
and down Kansas avenue to Fourth.

OLIVER TWIST vAND1vERT.
He Passes His Plate Up to the Treas
ury for More.

A few months ago State Auditor Nor
ris declined to issue a voucher to Judge
Sam Vandivert of Kinsley for salary
for the uneXpired term for which he
was to be paid because of his having
been leg slated out of Office, and referred
the matter to the attorney g neral.
Mr.. Morris refused to issue the
voucher because it had been reported
that Vandivert had enga ged in the
practice of law, which is prohibited by
the statute under which such appropri-
atoms are made.
Without passing upon the question
raised by Mr.. Morris, owing to the lack
of evidence, Mr.. Boyle held that Van
divert was entitled to the salary. Now
Vandivert is going to leave Kansas, and
he wants to draw all the salary due
him, provision having been made to
pay him for the term expiring January
1. He called on the state auditor yes
terday evening and made demand for
the money. 1t was refused and the
matter referred to the attorney general.
who holds that Mr.. Vandivert cannot
draw the Sa larry during the time he is
not in the state.

and will file them in the federal court
within a few days.
The three upon which most reliance
is placed are that Judge Clark had no
right to inquire into things that hap
pened prior to 1884. the date of the
forma ton of the present company; that
in his schedule of stockyards property
he omitted 100000 worth of real estate
and improvements that ought to have
been included, and that his estimate of
the value of the property is more than
million dollars too low.
The first objection, if sustained. will
be of more value then any of the others,
because the report shows that about 80
per cent of the stock in 1884 was
water and the people who held stock
in the old company We're pra cticaIly the
same as those who hold stock now
No exceptions are offered by the COM
pany to the findings bearing on the sub
ject of interstate commerce.
The exceptions of the state will not
be filed until next week. They will
be as numerous as those of the COM
pany. The objections to the interstate
commerce value findings will be the
most important.

o. 8. Hiatt, of Leavep worth, Wants
One of the Posts

o. S. Hiatt of Leavenworth was in
the city yesterday for the first time
since the legislature adjourned. having
been in Washington since march hunt
ing a place under the national admins
tration.
Mr. Hiatt declared on numerous oc-
casions that he would stay with the
powers until he got something. but he
came home without it, and Immediately
called on Senator Baker and requested
that he communicate with the officials
of the interior department, recommend
ing the appointment of Mr.. Hiatt as one
of the Usage Indian traders at Once.All
the traders are holding over from the
Cleveland administration, and it may
even be necessary to remove a promi-
nent Democratic official in the interior
department before the old traders will
, depart.
They are not under civil service rules
but during the Cleveland regime an
order was issued that when one of these
Indian traders was removed his sue
cesSOr should take his stock of goods
off his hands. and that, too at figure
set by the old storekeeper. The old
traders are asking an enormous cash
price for their stock of goods, and it
serves as a practical bar to prevent
new man from taking hold.
The Usage Indians get 900 from
the government every three months,
and these four tradershipS have great
possibilities. as the Indians buy their
supplies from traders stores. Mr.. Hiatt

sure of getting one when the obnoxious
Democratic order about purchasing
goods is removed.
In spite of his long sojourn in Wash
ington, Mr.. Hiatt is looking we'll and
feeling cheerful. He had a close en-
counter with Jim Legate over the Lans-
ing postmastership. Legate was back
ing his son, Harry, while Oliver was
behind his brother, Oscar. Oscar Hiatt
won, and now Jim Legate is going
around accusing whispering Oliver"
as he calls him. of treachery and under
handed work. LeavenWorth politicians
are looking forward to an interesting
meeting between Messrs. Hiatt and Lee

the way he got the best of his friend,

At the urgent solicitation of Superin-
tendent McNaIl of the insurance depart
ment the Red Mems Fraternal Accident
associa ton has Withdrawn from the
state and has notified the superintend-
ent that no further effort will be made
to do business here.
Some time ago Mr.. McNan ordered
the company TO pay a license fee. but
the company refused, claiming to be a
mutual benefit insurance company.
While this controversy was engaging
the attention of the superintendent the
association refused to pay the claim
presented by the heirs of Otto thinner
man of Wichita. Thereupon Mr.. Nc
Nall ordered the company to either
show cause for refusing to pay the
claim or get out of the state.
The company accepted the latter al
tentative and retired.

Commenting upon Harrison Clark

Il have not yet received a copy of

in his behalf. In conversation with me
one time last spring Mr. Clarkson stat
ed that three or four years ago the vari-
Gus insurance companies doing bus ness
in Kansas requested him to raise the
rates 20 per cent and that he refused
to do so for the reason, as he stated,
that the rates were now high enough
I said Well, they were high enough.
were they not?' and Clarkson said
Yes McNan, continuing, said:
This proposition of Clarkson carries
two propositions in one. The insur-
ance companies would not have called
upon Clarkson to raise the rates 20 per
cent in Kansas unless he had the power
to do so, and CIarkson refusing to raise
the rates 20 per cent in Kansas, saying
they were high enough, was an admis-
sion upon his part that he had the
power to refuse, and it was final, there
being no appeal from his decision.
