ROCK ISLAND PUSH.
Has 400 Men Working on It's Line
Out of North Enid.

Enid. Aug. 21-The Rock Island is
pushing its line east from North Enid
and fully 400 men and 100 horses and
mules are employed in the work 1t is
the intention of the Rock Island to ex-
tend the line to Tonkawa and from
there to Perry. From Perry it is
thought the line viii be pushed east to
Pawhuska and from there to the min
ing districts in southeastern Kansas It
is rumOred that a direct line will then
be built to Kansas City, giving the
from Kansas City to the wheat belt of
Oklahoma. Several miles of track have
already been laid out of Enid and the
grading is being done very rapidly by
the large force of men employed. The
track will be laid as fast as the grade
is prepared and it will be but a matter
of a few weeks until the line reaches
TOnkawa and Perry.
The officials will not state where the
line will be built, but the route laid out
is said to be about as stated.

RAILROAD BASEBALL.
Two Interesting Games Were Played
at Athletic Park.

There were two games of baseball at
Athletic park Saturday Afternoon, and
teams from the Santa F'e shops took
part in both of them. The first game
was between the Boilermakers and the
Rough Riders of the South shop. The
second game was between the Elmont
team and a picked nine of the Santa
Fe players.
The boilermakers and the Rough Rid
erS were the first to mix up, and at the
close of a five inning game the Rough
Riders retreated in bad order. having
been beaten by the score of IL to 9.
This game was characterized by
much fun and the supply of rOOterS on
both sides was unlimited. Jim COe,
manager of the Rough Riders, was
there with a big drum and was very
noisy, especially when his team made
a good play. After the game was over
the BOilernakers took the drum away
from him and celebrated their victory.
For the BOilermakerS Schafer, Baxter
and Counter did good work, while the
work of Harris, Hannigan and the
phenomenal catching of Baihr, did much
for the Rough Riders.
The second game was between the
ElmOnt team and followed the first
game with only a few minutes inter
mission.
The Elnont team did not show up
very well at the first of the game, but
five innings, which it was decided to
play, they were in better form and pos
SlDly may nave won the game had 1t
been of regular nine innings.
Much fun was INDUCED in at the ex-
pense of the ElmOnt players, by the
rOOterS, who crowded the side lines.
The ElmOnt team was made up of play
ers either very tall and slim or else
very short and fairly fat. and this con-
ditiOn of affairs gave the chance for
many good jokes.
For the Elmont team, Warner, Wen
dell and HOlcOmb did good work and
John Curry made the only home run
of the game. For the Santa F'e team
Hannigan, Sherman Baughman and
Thompson played good ball. while the
catching of Baihr was praised by every
one present. Each one of the Santa Fe
players made two scores. There was
much fun had by the rooters when the
ElmOnt team put Wendell in the pitch
er's box in the second inning. The gyra-
tions which he went through were
amusing and several times it was
thought that he was going to keep the
ball, because he held it so long before
throwing it

Ethcyn Palmer the Topeka Girls Who Winning Fame
on the Sta ge.

the picture when completed will be sent
to the Chicago art exhibit, and per-
haps to the Paris exposition.
In speaking of her plans for the
coming season Miss Palmer said: 4
will have the juvenile lead with the
Salisbury Stock company either in Mil
wauSee or Toledo, but do not know
when shall leave, probably not until
the latter part of September. L have
just been writing to my manager and I
told him not to hurry me or would
join the Woodwork Stock company in
Kansas City. but 1 did not mean that,
for I hate Kansas City. There we have
to cater to the galleries and would
much rather play to the women In
most cities one can hint a thing, but in
Kansas City it has to be shouted to
make any impression.
DO 1 ever get tired of my parts?
no indeed, l never had a part that
disliked or could not find something
good in, and no matter how many times
I play it I can always discover some
thing new and improve in my acting.
Until about year ago 1 aSpired to
play nothing but such parts as Lady
Macbeth, but through an accident one
night I had to play a lighter part, and
made quite a hit, and since then have
played them altogether"
Miss Palmer has a bright animated
manner of speaking and it is readily
seen after talking with her a few min
utes that she is devoted to her work,
but she is slow in advising any one to
adopt the stage as a profession. unless
he has a decided talent for it. She is in
almost daily receipt of letters from
stage-struck people and she is very
conscientious in answering these, as
she says she can imagine her own dis
appointment were she in their place.
Miss Palmer is a talented young Wo-
man but she owes much of her success
to her perseverance and hard work.

individually and separately for them

individually and separately for them
selves.
Realizing as I do the injuries which
the state of Kansas is receiving from
the so-called trusts, 1 believe that the
citizen who is in favor of such trusts
and monopolies is either greatly mis-
taken as to the best interest of the
state, or he is untrue thereto. This
leads me to resent the unjust criticism
to which have been subject, and the
false position in which 1 have been
placed by some of the newspapers.
What the remedy is, or shall be,
for the condition of affairs above re-
cited, is a question which is agitating
the minds of the American people at
present Two great conventions have
been called to meet within the next
sixty days to consider these questions.
] hope to be able to attend one or both
of them, and hope that some plan may
be devised and agreed upon which will
give our people relief from the oppres-
sion which has fallen upon them, I
shall be glad to receive information
which will enable me to take any steps
along this line which will be of benefit
to the people of our state"

Miss Ethelyn Palmer, one of To-
peka's successful young actresses who
is spending the summer in Topeka IS
not merely resting and devOting her
time to social pleasures; in reality she
is working hard, getting ready for the
campaign of the coming season.
That the life of an actress is not an
idle one, is proven by Miss Palmer
who has little time, even during her
vacation, which she may call her own.
Besides studying several hours each
day she has to renOvate her wardrobe
and plan new costumes, and by the
way Miss Palmer has a faculty for de-
signing her gowns which is envied by
all her women friends. It is all done
at night after she has retired: she
simply lies and thinks. and thinks I'M
til in her minds eye she suddenly sees
Il picture of the gown; in the morning
she draws a sketch of it and herd reSs-
maker does the rest
A costume has recently been com
pleted for Miss Palmer which was de-
signed in this way. 1t is a butterfly
gown of black bObinet, with tiny silver
spangles. placed about an inch apart;
there are nearly five thousand of these
spangles all of which were Sewed on
by Miss Palmer and her mother, and
took over three weeks steady work
Up the front of the skirt is a row
of silver butterflies which CULVER with
every movement of the wearer, and
throw out thousands of different color,
ed lights. The bodice is draped and
caught in the center with a butterfly.
and the gauzy sleeves are held in place
at the shoulders with butterflies. The
neck is high, with stock heavily dot
ted with spangles. Besides being an
costume, it sets off Miss Palmer'S
piquant beauty to perfection
Miss Palmer is posing in this cos
tune for Mr.. George Stone, the artist;

Attorney General GODDARD Turns
Another Hand Spring.

A few months ago Attorney General
GODDARD was with Governor Stanley in
the fight against the trusts. While
Governor Stanley was working on an
antitrust speech to be delivered at the
Chicago civic federation meeting next
month, Attorney General GODDARD ex-
perienced a change of heart and an
nounced that he would not make war
in that direction. This reminded the
politicians of Governor Morri1Ts pro-
hibition interview and the attorney

FUNSTON'S EXPLOITS.
Captain BOltWO0d Writes the
Facts In the Case.

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 21.-The Evening
Herald, of this city, has received the
following letter from Captain Edmond
BoltwOod, of company K, Twentieth
Kansas. for publication:
Manila, P. L, July 4, 1899.
Editor Herald:
Il wish to make corrections to var
ious statements published in the news
papers in regard to the Twentieth kan
spOndent feels moved at times to draw
On his imagination in order to make an
article more readable. Correspondent
Steele is no exception to this rule and
acknowledges that he is the author
and originator of the alleged remark of
Colonel Funston in answer to the ques-
ton: How long can you hold Calico
can2' when he is alleged to have re-
piled. Until my regiment is mustered
out In this view, it seems that justice
demands that the name of Steele and
not that of Colonel Funston should
travel through history alongside of that
of Lawrence in his famous order, DO
not give up the ship I make this and
the following statements unaSked and
without authority from General Fun
ston, but I feel sure that he will be
pleased to be placed in a proper light
before the public.
In all the papers that reach US from
the state is found the statement of
Colonel Funston leading his regiment
=
at least know that this is to be taken
figuratively, as all tactics and rules,
as we'll as common sense, prescribe the
position of the colonel when in action
to be in the rear of his regiment, and
in no case that have seen has Colonel
Funston been foolish enough to reverse
positions.
The swimming of the MaralOa. I'M
der fire has already been explained by
Lieutenant ArnOt, but might add that
there had been no firing at the point of
crossing for some time, and while a
part of our battalion was sitting on
the bank watching the proceedings, the
balance were bathing in the river.
AT Bacalo, May "a where General
Funston was reported as leading the
charge, the general was in his proper
place on the BacalO road, between the
left of the Twentieth Kansas and at
the right of the Montana regiment In
this action, which, by the way was by
far the most successful of any we have
been engaged in, from start to finish
the regiment was in command of Major
Whitman, and only three companies of
the First battalion and the four COM
panies of the Second battalion, with
two companies of the First Montana
regiment, were engaged
THESE statements of fact do not de-
tract from the gallantry or heroism of
General Funston, and, as remarked in
the start, I am sure he will be graft
fled to have these unimpOFtant errors
corrected.

AWFSOME TREES.
How the Giants of the Yosemite I'M
pressed q Traveller.

eW made a side trip to the big trees
of the Marip0sa group. which are
about one hours ride from the hotel,
says a correspondent. If the smallest
of these trees could be planted any
where in Pennsylvania the railroads
would run excursion trains to it and
make money The trees in this grove
are so large that il takes a good while
tc fully appreciate the facts about the
size of the biggest of them. The
Grizzly Giant is thirty-four feet
through a the base and over 300 feet
high This tree would OYertop the
spires on the Pittsburg cathedral by
about 100 feet The trunk Of this tree
is 100 feet Gear to the first limb,
which is twenty feet in circumference.
Many other trees here are very near
~ as large as this one. and there are
900 in the grove Through several,
tunnels have been cut. and a four
horse stage can go through these tun-
nels on the run and never Craze a hub.
You get an approach TO an adequate
IDEA of their size by walking nun
