About Dining Cars.

The verdict given by the general
public that the Great Rock Island
Route has the best dining car service
IN the world, viii not be disputed by
who have used this line. ThOus-
ands Of letters testify to this fact. A
better meal cannot be secured in any
hotel OF restaurant in the cities Of New
York OF Chicago than is served in the
Rock Island dining cars. A Ia carte on
all cars; q splendid lunch served on
Colorado trains for so cents.

JOINT" fluids II DISPUTE.
It Is COntended That They Must
Go to School Fund.
II They Do, 1t win Leave Several cities
Hard Up-HaFs Cities the Right
to Destroy OF Coufiscate liquor
or Furniture?

Topeka July 1.-TWO questions have
been raised In the Topeka Amity club
liquor case In the Kansas. court Of ap-
peals which are Of vital Importance to
every city in the United States which
has adopted the monthly fine system
Of handling the joints. The most i'm
pOrtant Of the two is that concerning
the disposition Of the money derived
from fines. Nearly all Of the large
cities Of the state have long ago quit
trying to enforce the prohibitory
law and have sought to regulate
the liquor traffic by means Of monthly
fines, which are nothing more than lie
enses- In order &c, do this each town
has passed an ordinance In line with
the state prOhibitory law fixing the
penalty at fine or Imprisonment or
both Under such an ordinance each
town derives a large amount Of rev
enue. In Kansas City, Kan, from
5000 to s., 600 a month IS collected in
this way. Almost as much Is collected
in Wichita, and LeavenBorth is not
far behind. Various other towns also
collect large amounts.
The money derived in this way is
usually turned into the general rev
enue fund of the city and used in pay
ing the expenses of running the city
government.
In the Amity club case it is eOnten-
ded by the defense that all ordinances
providing that money derived from
fines shall be turned into the general
revenue fund Of the cities are uncOn-
stitutiOnaL 1t is argued that such or
dinances framed after the state law
and in line with its provisions are
penal laws and the constitution pro-
vides: aThat the proceeds Of fines for
any breach Of the penal laws shall be
exclusively applied to the support Of
the common schools" This is section
of article Of the constitution
Under it, the attorneys for the de-
tense say, all fines must be turned into
the school fund instead Of the revenue
fund, and that any ordinance which
directs the disposition Of the money
otherwise is demonstrations and void.
If the appellate court takes this view
of the matter and is sustained by the
court, it viii plunge several
cities in the hole. The revenue derived

expensive and no not allow large profits. Er.

MARCH NOT FOR THEM.
But 1t Made the Newly Married Couple
Think Their Secret Was
Out

Bsrdsley hated pomp and fuss Of
every sort connected with the mar
risge ceremony, and his fancee dis
liked what he did, and they were well
pleased with their plan Of eluding the
vigilance Of their friends by marrying
without notice and going off to a little
country town where they knew no one
and no one know them, says the New
York Press. The day after their ar
rival being Sunday, they went to
church, appearing, as they fOndly be-
lieved, like staid, long welded folk.
But as soon as the benediction was
pronounced they were startled by
hearing the jubilant strains Of the
wedding March" The owner of the
pew in which they sat, noticing their
surprise, explained, with what they in
terpreted as a significant look, that the
organist always played the Wedding
March when there was a bridal couple
in church, ahd there is to-day" he
added.
Their self-cOnsciOusness betrayed
the Bardsleys into asking: "But how
did he know?" and then it came out
that the performance had not been for
their benefit, but for that Of the son
Of a pillar of the church and his bride.
''At any rate, it's a most absurd Gus
TOM" gTOwled the bridegroom, who
had sought to hide his torch under
bushel and had failed, just as ordinary
bridegrOOms do.
