DEAR SIR: At the request OF various
parties desiring TO become Interested IN

were chosen to investigate the merits OF
a proposition to build an electric railway
up the Kansas Valley 70 the CITY OF To-
peka, by the way Of Forest Lake, Bon
ner Springs and Lawrence, reported as
follows as the result Of our Investigations
FIRST-That the line projected by the
Kansas city, Bonner Springs ana 10
peka Ry., and for which most or the
right-of-way has been secured, is the
only practical route for an electric rail-
way between these cities.
SBCOND-That the territory through
which this line will pass Is one Of the
most productive i'm the United states
yielding on an average per annum OF o.
900 carloads Of Potatoes, 1000 OF Fruit p
000 Of Stock, ana almost as many car ga.
loads combined Of dairy and manuiac-
tured products, such as Flour, Paper,
Merchandise etc.
THIRD-That the Kansas City whole
sale houses almost entirely supply tne
cities Of Lawrence and Topeka with their
provisions and merchandise.
FOURTH-That the rate OF freight
charged by the trunk lines now opefat-
ing between these points Is almost as
much as the rates charged by me same
lines from Kansas City to the mississippi
river or ST. Louis, a distance or S1v hl,Ss,
or FIVE times the distance between Nle

Acuinaldo and the i;ribe Habit

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Murat Halsteads right in his diagnosis of Aguinaldo's case. The Malay leaders title dates back to a Spanish bribe. It originates from the pile of silver dollars for which he sold out to Spain at the treaty of Biacnabato in 1897 He originally de- manded 8, 10000. but finally compromised on $1, 700 GOO, and was afterward cheated out of one-half of this. Still. the sum re- ceiyed by him and his fellow-rebels at Hongkong was high enough in the slN- figure class to make him man of "infu- ence" and to confirm him in the bribe habit. His ideas in this line are large and lofty President Schurman says Asulnaldo rejected with scorn an offer to take a salary of 5000 and become gov ernor of the Tagals. The Malay chief does not mean to lower ms moral standards to the extent of two figures. He is a man of principle. Like Paoh-Bah in the "Mikado,' he asks to be .insulted" by the offer of "a very eonsld- erable bribe.", He wants high rewafds- say million or two. A pension would not snit him. When Spain debauched the Ma lays with bribes in 1897 1t taught them trick that can be cured only by thorough thrashing. and that is what the United States is preparing to administer. Aguln- aldos million will come to him in stflpes'

rest of her life. That is the poor French girls idea of dot-enough to dress her well without asking the few francs a month that are necessary.
 But Marie Denis had the dot without working for it. and young Loubet saw that he was doing well. An honorable young lawyer with a wife with some money has a fine chance in any country and so Loubet got his start
 Years afterwards Denis died and left a fortune of 100000 francs 10 Marie. Mean while he had been sending money periodi- cally to his daughter; and so the Loubets had lift over the hard places.
 After Loubet went to Paris, taking his young wife with him, he begun to meddle in politics and soon he became a senator Then he was elected president of the sem ate: and Marie and her husband went to live in the palace of the Luxembourg. To show that M. Loubet had money during this time one need only recall his connec- ton with the Panama matter, which created such a scandal twenty years ago. He was said, with the others, to have put money in the concern, and to have drawn out a great deal more than he was entitled to The poor mans francs were said to have found their way into the Panama business through the hands or many statesmen of France, Loubet among the rest But that is another bit Of gossip, and in recalling these things one must al- ways remember that gossip inseparably at- taches itself to those of high position. The French have a proverb which that It is impossible to stand upon, pinnacle without becoming a target; and Loubet early gained the pinnacular prominence
 The Loubets had children, and one or them became Madame de Saint Prix, M. de Saint Prx is judge in Marseillles, and his wife is a woman of wealth and ini1u- ence.
 Thus step by step Marie Denis found herself coming from the little town Of Moneimart. France, where she was born in 1Sl9 to the proudest position in Paris.
 At the age of 50. just the time when woman feels her full strength of mind and hodv. her husband was made president or inc French republic. and Madame Loubet became the mistress of the Palace Elysee with Madame de Saint-PriX from Mar sail1es to assist her in her new station.
 If you visit Madame Loubet today, as ,.our correspondent had the pleasure or doing few days ago. you will find her n rather stout gray-haired woman with very motherly manner and soft gentle voice. She will impress you as being or tho 'neople There are silly airs about her She is very democratic and very economical.
 Each morning Madame Loubet goes forth in her carriage to do the family market ing. which is to her the most important act of the day. She buys slowly and carefully. and it was whispered by mortified ma- tron of one of the aristocratic regime that she actually pushed the melt upon leg
