of the Big Roads

July /,
TO BEAT SCALPERS
Through Tickets Good Only For
Continuous Passage.

Hour and Train
o BEAT SCALPERS

Chicago, June 26.-After July it will
be necessary for every person travelling
between Chicago and New York and all
of the other big eastern cities to leave
Chicago on a certain specified day, hour
and train and arrive at his destination
on the same train, a set day and a
scheduled hour. If. for any reason, he
fails TO do any of these things his
ticket will be worth no more than
piece OF wrapping paper
At a meeting of the general passenger
agents of all the big railroads operat-
ing between Chicago and the Atlantic
coast cities it was unanimously agreed
that on and after the above date all
through tickets sold here would be good
for only a continuous pasSage-that is,
that no stop-over nor no choice of con-
Meeting trains would be allowed. In
addition to this it was agreed that the
passenger must name the day and train
stick to his schedule. Also he must ar
rive at his destination according to his
ticket time card To carry out this rad
ical departure a new form of ticket viii
be used
On the margin of this ticket will be
printed, written or punched the day
of the month, the number and hour of
the train on which he must leave the
city and the day, hour and train on
which he must arrive at the other end
of his journey. The new form of ticket.

tOfore on many of the roads the or
binary ticket had a very liberal limit or
was good until used This time between
the purchase and use of tickets allowed
a free handling Of the same by the
brokers. And even if the ticket was to
be used within two or three days in

margin for the rest Of the distance. 4
few OF the east bound roads have been
using such a ticket for some time and it
has proved such a success in preventing
manipulation that all of the lines We're
led to adopt it If a person fails to con-
meet with the time set down on the
ticket and he can show good reasons
for not getting away on the prescribed
day and train his ticket will be re-
deemed.

For two months the newspapers have
been predicting that w. A. Thompson
of Topeka would be appointed deputy
warden of the state penitenuiary. The
guess was correct, too, and the ap-
pOintment of Mr.. Thompson has been
announced by the warden, J. 3. Tom
Huson and the board of directors.
Mr. Thompson will assume his new
duties the 1st of July He was sergeant
alarms of the last house of representa-
tiveS and unlike his predecessors ac-
counted for all the property of which
he had charge He also turned in the
keys of the various departments and
made & firSt-class record. Thompson is
conceded to be the best officer the legis-
lature has ever had in that position. He
was years ago sheriff of Scott county
but came to Topeka to accept a position
in State Treasurer Athertons office.
When that administration was succeed
ed by the Leedy crowd Thompson be-
came associated with w. c. Edwards
in the Port Arthur development. He
has resided in Topeka during this time.
