The production of "Broadhurst's second
glo-American success last night at
the Colug.hia was rendered noteworthy
in that it introduced to Washington two
beautiful women never seen here before.
There are Brandon Douglas and Anita
Bridger, and each won her full portion OF
the liberal applause bestowed by the good
sized and good humored audience OF
course. the weight Of the presentation
falls upon Mrs. Yeamans and Maclyn Ar
buckle, and the artistic shoulders Of each
are more than sufficiently broad to bear the
strain. Hans Robert was cordially well
coined by his many local friends, and did
well in a difficult and thankless role. The
cast is excellent and the performance so
improved that but for the caption and for
Mrs. Yeamans' polka-dot skirt and flaming
Titan petticoat one hardly would recog-
nize it, Two matinees.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Chicago and Alton Trains to
Pass Through Topeka.
If Deal Now on in the East is
COnsummated.
OVER UNION PACIFIC.
Alton Trains Would Use Kan
sas Pacific Division
And Run Through Between
Chicago and Denver.

1t seems probable that within a short
time Chicago & Alton through trains
Will be running through Topeka A
deal is on in the east which, if con-
summated, will allow the operation of
the Chicago & Alton trains over the
Kansas Pacific division of the Union
Pacific from Kansas City to Denver.
That the deal will be closed appears
altogether likely. A dispatch from New
York states that arrangements for the
operation of Alton trains over the
Union Pacific have been practically
completed.
The move will be in line with the
policy of closer traffic relations between
western roads controlled by the Harri-
man syndicate. The Hartman people
now dictate the affairs of both the
Union Pacific and Alton, and it is be-
lieved that the interests of the latter
road could be greatly advanced by pro-
viding for through service between Chi
cago and Denver. The Union Pacific
is not a Chicago line, and the Alton
has no track west of Kansas City BY
joining the roads as far as train SER
vice is concerned, the Alton would be
enabled to compete with the Rock Isl
and and Santa Fe.
If the deal goes through Topeka peo-
pie have the choice of three through
routes to and from Chicago.

ED SAPP'S CAMPAIGN.
Democratic Club, of Galena, Is Man

E. c. Weilep, president, and W. L.
Burke, secretary of the Democratic
club of Galena, are sending out the fol-
lowing letter to the delegates to the
forthcoming state convention at Fort
Scott:
Knowing that you are a delegate to
the Democratic convention at Fort
Scott, and that to assure our success in
the forthcoming election in the state it
will be necessary to put forth every
effort possible. and feeling that the dele
gates when in convention assembled
will be called upon to exercise the sound
est discretion in the nomination of can
didates to be placed upon the ticket
that will assure that success, we desire
to call your attention to the candidacy
E. Sapp, for the position of associate
justice of the supreme court. MI. Sapp
is one of the leading lawyers of the
southw est, is safe, sound and able and
will bring credit to the ticket, and from
his past record will bring to our party
a large number of voters from the OPP
position. His nomination will undoubt-
eddy enable US to carry this part of the
state by a larger majority than we had
in 1896, thing that in our judgment
no other man can do, and by his per-
sOnality and ability to make a winning
campaign will more than hold his own
in the balance of the state.

port and we know that the nomination
of a Democrat for that position will

that will flock to our party this fall

NEW STEEL PLATFORMS
Apparently Prevent Destruction of
Rock Island Passenger Train.

The Rock Island passenger train
which was wrecked near Minnekah, I.
II, yesterday morning was equipped
throughout with the new steel plat
forms, which accounts for the fact that
there was no loss of life among the
passengers.
This is a practical illustration of the
value of having a train equipped with
these platforms. 1t practically does
away with the. danger of cars telescop-
ing at the time of wreck.
This is shown conclusively when it is
known that when the trains came to-
gether the passenger train was running
at the rate of thirty miles an hour and
the only damage done to the train was
that the front end of the baggage and
mail car was slightly crushed at the
same time three engines and a number
of freight cars were derailed and piled
up.
The Rock Island has for the past
year and a half been equipping it's pas
senger coaches with the steel plat
forms as fast as the cars could be put
through the shops and the greater por-
ton of the cars have already been
equipped with the new Improvement.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES.
Assembly a Great Success, the Man
agement Making Money.

Ottawa, July Blast night closed
the twenty-second annual session of the
ChautauQua assembly. The attendance
has not been quite so large, but the pro-
gramme has been fully as good and in
some points stronger, than last year.
Financially the assembly has been
success. The high water mark in re-
ceipts was reached on Imperialism day,
when the proceeds of single admission
tickets amounted to $500. The total in
come for this year has been between So
600 and $4,000, which puts the manage
ment in excellent shape. The most ser
ious disappointment on the programme,
and the only one, was the inability of
Champ Clark to take part in the debate
on Imperialism. This has been a matter
of universal regret, but was unavoid-
able. The definite plans have not been
made for next year The date will be
about the same. AS July has been
found to be the most satisfactory time
for holding the assembly, the depart
ments will probably remain the same,
with the exception that an educational
department will likely be added. There
will be some material changes in the
camp. The grounds about the taber-
nacle and secretary's office will be con-
siderably enlarged by taking out the
old racetrack and more space will be
given to headquarters.

ROCKY FORD SHORTAGE.
Luscious Melons FromsColorado Will
be Scarce This Year.

Denver. July Civ. S. Tilton. chief
clerk of the Santa Fe freight depart
ment, says that the melon crop at
Rocky Ford this year will be from 20
to 80 per cent short. A blight of some
sort has attacked the vines, and in
some places ruined the crop altogether,
while in others, which have scant ir71-
cation facilities the dry season has
worked a good deal of damage.
Il don't think however, that the
farmers will suffer-" said Mr.. Tilton.
for the melon crop is short all over
the Country, and the increase in price
will probably more than compensate
the Colorado melon growers for the
poor yield The Colorado melon has be
come so famous that other people have
been using the Rocky Ford name, and
this hurt western prices somewhat last
year know personally of a trainload
of melons shipped into New York from
Florida last year which were sold as
Rocky Fords, and proved very poor
fruit. But dealers have begun to
recognize the difference. and outsiders
can't compete with US this year.
think that the Rocky Ford farmers will
get probably 10 per cent more for this
years crop than for last years. in spite
of the ShOrtag e.''

A Railroads Consideration.

A person who drops anything from a
moving train ordinarily says good
bye to it, but a noteworthy exception
was recently observed on the Burling-
ton railroad. A pocketbook containing
$109.25, a gold ring, four rubies and
other valuables. was lost by a passenger
on the st. Louis-Portland express Just
where was not known, and the train was
advancing so miles an hour. From the
first stop the loss was wired to Superin-
tendent Phelan at Alliance, Neb., who
Immediately sent out a. searching party.
The pOcketboOk and jewels were found
near the track, three miles from Whit
man, in as good condition as when lost.
They were returned to the surprised
owner the next day.

AN AIR BRAKE SCHOOL.
Burlington Road Is Instructing EN-
pIoyes in Use of Air.

The newest aid in railroad education
is an airbrake school car, maintained
by the Burlington Route to instruct its
enginemen and trainmen in the proper
use of airbrakes. The car makes regular
visits to the principal points on Bur-
lington lines, the airbrakeS school being
in charge of Instructor A. J. Gotta. Each
morning and afternoon he spends sew
eral hours at the cars showing railroad
erS just how to get the best results from
the brakes. The machinery in the car
is rugged with the same amount of air
pipe and cylinder space that is found in
a train of 80 air cars with the engine.
Mr.. Gotta says it is a mistaken opinion
of many that to make faster time the
railroads have been compelled to devote
all their energies toward building faster
locomotives. The locomotives run fast
enough to make the fastest schedules,
but the main trouble has been to make
quick stops. Every time the Burlington
has made radical reductions in it's time
it has placed in service improved air.

We have always particularly admired
Marshall's band the best amateur or
ganization in the world. 1t is now said
that Marshalls band will go to pieces,
owing to lack of support. There are
seventy men in this organization, and
it gives very creditable concerts weekly
in the park. 1t is an organization that
Topeka has every reason to be proud of.
Topeka should devote more money to
MarshalFs band, and less to nonsense.
Many people have an idea that a band
should support itself. but good
musician is entitled to pay as well as
a good mechanic, or clever craftsman
of any other kind. Topeka will make
a serious mistake if it allows the band
to go to pieces.
