buy cigarettes and whisky wherever
possible those who sold to the boy,

OUT-OF-DOOR SPORTS.


In Great Britain they are trying to
re-establish a sport that used to be
much followed in the Lothians, namely,
otter-hunting- The rivers are pic

sides the immediate fun to be got out
of the sport it would be distinct kind

In the first week of last month one
London railway dispatched 4,06S BIZ
cycles as passengers luggage and an
other line dealt with 4,3OO machines If

long in coming.
The cycle tax in France serves one
useful purDoS-that or illustrating the
growth of the pastime in that country.
So great has been the rise of auto
mObilism in France that some diminu-
ton might have been expected in the
Frenchman's enthusiasm for the cycles
the actual figures, however, speak en-
phatically to the contrary effect In
1884, the first year OF taxation, the
number of machines was 203. .3O6; in
1895 it was 256, 0S4; in 1896, 329, ,S16, and
in 1897, 40s, $50. The figures for last
year, however, have just been publish

half a million It may confidently be

A Harvard student who has just re-
turned from a bicycling tour of India
thus describes the road from Lahore to
Calcutta: 1T is 1900 miles long and
it is level The material of which it is
made is called bunker and if you turn
that word into concrete you have an
idea of what it is like. The road is
hard and as smooth as prepared pave
ment, and there is no dust. When I
first got on this road with my wheel
and enjoyed the luxury of easy travel
ing, I said, This is magnificent, but
suppose that in a short time it will be-
come gritty and uneven I went fifty
miles, 100 miles, 200 miles, 500, 600 700,
and it was always the same, with not
even the smallest stone to give a jog.
Almost the entire way IS lined with a
double row of majestic trees. The con-
crete road runs like a long. white rib
bon down the center. Along each side
of the bunker are loose soil tracks,
over which the native bullock carts
creak along at the rate of two miles an
hour

KANsANs IN ARKANsAs.
Topeka Party Seems to Have Made a
sHicD

The Topeka party which recently
made a trip to the Arkansas zinc fields
seem to have captured the people Of
that region as the following notices
would indicate::
From the YellvilIe Mountain Echo:
kansas is sending many people to
the rich zinc belt of Marion county.
Several Topeka gentlemen, among J. +.
Afford, D. o. McCray and others. who
have made frequent trips here, return
ed last week with another party OF
kansans, who, with the gentlemen
named, purchased something over three
hundred acres near the Morning Star
The Kansas party consists of Messrs.
J. $. Parks, ex-state printer; Hon
Webb McNall, ex-state superintendent
of insurance: Harold t. Chase, aSSO-
ciate editor of the Topeka Daily Capt.
tai; DR.. J. P Lewis, J. w Tucker, and
MeSsrS. Afford and McCray. MeSsrS.
Afford and Parks made their first visit
to Marion county two years ago They
own more than one thousand acres of
valuable mineral land in this county,
viz; Topeka, Georgetown, Boat Greek
and other mines on the MoccaSin and
Jemmy's Creek Mr.. McCray with Mr..
A V JeWett. of Abilene, Kansas. owns
the Bell Hudson place, four miles this
side of the Morning Star, which experts
say has every indication of being as
rich in mineral as the famous White
Eagle Mr.. McCray has named this
property the "Carolena.' a combination
of the names of his wife and daughter,
Carrie and Lena
From the Marion Herald:
Then the breezy Kansans, the par
ty spoken of in another column, are
representative people. Think of D. o.
McCray putting US into the New York
Sun, Times and Press, and the Chicago
Times Herald and St. Louis Republic.
Think how the bright Chase will cleo
trify the Topeka Capital and Parks the
Beloit Call And we shall be made to
listen to the echoes of the swift. con-
vincing arguments of J. F. Afford,
while DR.. J. p. Lewis will give the
pathology due to this zinc field to
everybody. Mr.. A. Lindeu Will not
bond, but will tell everybody to dig zinc

ASK FOR REDUCED RATE.
Executive Council Arranging to Send
Soldiers Home

The executive council does not want
to spoil a good job by bringing the
Kansas soldiers home to Topeka and
then leaving them to get to their
respective homes in the best way pos
sible, either by paying their own rail-
road fare or going at the expense Of
the towns where receptions are to be
held.
The council wants to arrange to pay
the railroad fare and expenses of the
soldiers to their homes and held
meeting this morning to discuss it.
State Auditor Cole. Secretary Clark
and Treasurer Grimes were appointed
as a committee to take charge of the
matter.
The governor said today: 'I hope
we will be able to arrange this plan
successfully. The state should take the
men to their respective homes after
bringing them from San Francisco"

RIVER DRYING UP.
Can Be Crossed In Some Places on
Sand Bars.

The Kansas river is now lower than it
has been in a number of years. Almost
a solid bank extends from the Kansas
avenue bridge to the Rock Island railroad
bridge several blocks west Teams are
able to make the trip across the river in
some places on the sand. There is scarce
ly enough water to carry the city sewage
down the stream
The Topeka Water company saw that
the low water has in no way affected the
city supply of water The water is pump
ed from wells that have a depth sufficient
to reach the under1ow and SO far it is
stated. the dry weather has had no ef-
feet on the volume OF water.
