TO EXTEND BAZAAR LINE.
Story That the Santa Fe Will Build
on South Revived.

The Emporia Republican says:
We understand the A, T. & S. F. r.
r. Co are making arrangements to eX-
tend the branch of its line from Ba-
zaar in Chase county to Ell Dorado in
Butler county, where it will complete
the connection with the line to Arkan-
sas City and to points south of Oklaho-
ma and when completed Emporia will
become the division point for both
freight and passenger trains on this
line.
1t will be remembered that the COM
pany started this line several years ago
but on account of The fabulous prices
asked by the farmers for the right of
way it was abandoned. Now, however,
it is proposed to put it through, and the
work is to be commenced at once. 1t
will be the short line into the southwest
via this city and will traverse a sec
ton of country rich in stone, stock and
grain

cally all of the grain is going to the

The different railroads of Kansas are
filling the state with cars, and at the
shops of the various lines all possible
haste is being made in the repair OF
cars as yet unprepared for use. Tele-
graph offices are being opened at the
smaller sta tions, the forces increased at
the larger stations, and every effort is
being made to be in readiness to han
die the big rush of grain.
The Rock Island management esti-

CAME FROM NEW YORK.
Some of the Costumes for the Garfield
Park Fairy Spectacle.

Mrs. c. S. Sutton will have charge of
the decoration of the large stage to be
erected at Garfield park for the presen-
tation of the spectacular opera, Gin
derella." She will see to it that it is
made beautiful, while Mrs. E. B. Mere
dith, under whose direction the opera
will be given, will see that the scenery
which will be used will be elaborate and
appropriate to this especial use. All of
the figure dances for the opera are near
ly ready to be given, and by July 20
when the first performance is to be
given, the children will be in perfect
training. The bouquets and flowers
which will be used to decorate prince
Charming S" banquet table will be rep
resented by little children dressed in
costumes resembling flowers. They will
sing a song and end with a grouping
in which the Kansas Sunf1oWer Will be
the central figure.
Two Little Goody, GoOdy Girls" will
be seen in sunbonnets and pinafores and
will make a hit. Their acting is some
thing remarkable. The rainbow dance
gives the best display of the calcium
light effects and with the peculiar china
silk costume of Miss Ethel Nichols, it
will be one of the most brilliant features
of the programme.
In the matter of costumes the opera
will be handsomely supplied.
For those taking the leading parts
gorgeous costumes have been secured
City. The costumes for the 200 children
who take part have been made in To-
peka. The material was purchased and
dressmakers and tailOrs have been at
work making them according to the re-
Quirements of the play.
AS yet Mr.. Paramore has not reduced
the percentage for the use of Garfield
park 1t is thought that he will see fit
to reduce it a least to Is per cent, mas
much as the opera will be for public
benefit.
Mrs. Meredith goes to Kansas City to-
morrow to make arrangements for
few more costumes. The rehearsals are
being held every day at Hamilton hall
Four full rehearsals will be held at
Hamilton hall, beginning Thursday. On
Saturday pictures of the different feat
ures of the play will be made and on
Monday the last dress rehearsal will be
held.
The extravaganza of cinderella, twill
be held next week. The opening per-
Torrance will be Tuesday evening.
There is already a demand for reserv-
ed seats. The seat sale will begin some
time the latter part of this week, the
time to be announced later.

A MIGHTY PICNIC.
The Butchers and Grocers Preparing

Monday evening next there will be a
mass meeting of the grocers and butch
ers of the city held at the Grocers'
rooms a 433 Kansas avenue for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for
picnic to be held at Garfield park in
August.
Grocers' and butchers picnics in 9TH

the city, together with all wholesale
grocery houses and packing houses will
close on the day of the picnic and every

time. There will be plenty of amuse-
ment offered. The annual grocers' pic
MICS at Atchison have become noted for
their size and success. Nearly every

Republicans want to cripple the best

the college by removing needed help
to place a feather in their cap and

BACK TO ARMOR PLATE.
The Senate Takes Up an Old and Well
Worn Subject.

Washington, July 13.-Considerable Of
the deficiency appropriation bill was re-
sumed in the senate today. The ques-
ton of armor plate for new battleships
led to considerable discussion. The bill
provided a total appropriation of So
410,72 for armor for the three battle
ships authorized in 1896 and limited the
cost per ton to $425
Mr. Butler of On. c., offered an
amendment reducing the total to ST.
407, 500, limiting the cost to $500 per
ton and providing for the establishment
of a government armor factory if pri-
vate concerns do not bid within $500
per ton.

ington Some Time Ago.
United States District Attorney w. c.
Perry has forwarded his resignation to
Washington. His friends say that the
district attorney made up his mind to re-
sign before he left Topeka. He is now at
his home in Fort Scott and will probably
not return to Topeka in an official ca

United States Marshal Neeley says that
the reason Mr.. Perry resigned was to give
his successor time to be confirmed and
arrange the prelminares to formally TAX

Mr.. Perry's time would expire in five
weeks if he held over he would have
to file new bond. To make things easier

On the Golf Links.

DR.. Howard kindly invited a num-
ber of people to indulge in a game of
golf in Punahou pasture Saturday af-
ternoon. The day was a splendid one,
with not a cloud in the sky, and the
cooling breezes of Manoa sweeping
away the heat the sun attempted to
cast down. The links, in the opinion
of those of the party who have played
on links in the States, are ideal. The
land is rolling and plenty of chance
for skillful play is afforded. The fence
running along the lower part of the
pasture forms first-rate hazard, while
the knolls afford excellent opportuni-
ties for long drives. The people present
waxed very enthusiastic over the play,
and are anxious for the formation of a
club. The kindness of Messrs. Dilling-
| ham, Weirick and Parker was men
/ toned. Those present were: DR.. and
Mrs. c. B. Cooper, Mrs. R. d. Wal
bridge, Mrs. Hugh Gum, Mr.. and Mrs.
z. R. Adams, Mrs. Haywood, Miss
| Grace Clark, Miss Stansbury, Miss
Henneghan, Miss Juliette King, Mr.

drews, Dr. j. H. Raymond, Mr. George
Howard, DIR. Nichols, Mr.. Lovekin, Mr.

made.

1t is said that all the preliminary
work of making this State has been
gone through with and will be settled
when Congress reassembles. The Con-
gressmen of Wisconsin and Michigan
are both said to be in favor of it, and
such lobbying as must be done in
Washington has already been attended
to.
The lower Michigan people are said
TO be in favor of losing their upper
peninsula, because they feel that it is
no part of them, while the upper penin-
sular certainly feels that it should be
Independent.
The new State is said to be one of
the richest sections of the country out
side of Alaska. 1t has every mineral
that is known, even gold having been
discovered there. It's climate is
healthy, its rainfall moderate and ev-
erything about it is beautiful.
