NEW SANTA FE CHAIR CARS
No Better Equipment in Use on Any
Road.

The second of an order of ten new
chair cars will be turned out of the
Santa Fe shops in this city within a
few days These cars are the best of
the kind ever built by any road. They
are 20 feet long from the outside of the
vestibules- The windows are extra
wide and are made with double sash,
thus preventing the dust blowing in at
the windows. Steel platforms and the
National combination coupler are used
an the equipment. The car rides on the
new and improved six-wheel trucks.
The water tank and washstand are
made of white metal. One great i'm
provement is the overhead water tanks,
thus doing away with the pump at the
wash basin, it only being necessary to
turn the faucet.
The car comfortably seats about 60
people The smoking room is fitted
with sofa seats DraperieS hang at the
door and windows of the room.
The upholstering of each car is in the
standard plush and the interior is fin
ished in quarter-sawed oak. The roof
is in the Modern Empire style and the
headline ornaments are in gold Con-
tinuous basket racks reach the entire
length of the car. The curtains are of
pantasOte, and the cars are heated with
the Baker heater.
The cars are finished in the Pullman
brown color and striped in gold leaf.
The order for the ten cars will prob
ably be filed by the middle of Au-
gust.

FOURTH AT GARFIELD.
Four Thousand People Heard Concerts
and Saw Races.

The street cars were crowded yester-
day afternoon with people going to Gar
field park. A large number remained
there all day.. having taken their
lunches, but in the afternoon the crowd
of picnickers were overrun by those who
came to spend the evening, and they
were obliged to pack up their traps and
join in the general walk around the
grounds.
The concerts were given at 2 O'Clock
and at o'clock in the afternoon, and
at in the evening. 1t was almost i'm
possible to hear the music on account
of the continuous shooting Of blank
cartridges, for it seemed that every boy
and girl in the crowd of 1000 had a re-
vOlver and did nothing the entire after
noon and evening but load and fire.
The races at o'clock offered a great
deal of amusement to the crowd, which
was ready to be amused with anything.
There was a tub race, in which the tubs
wouldn't be raced but insisted in turn
ing over. and so that race was made
a swimming contest, in which Claude
Straude won. The three-legged race
was won by Dean Harris and Arthur
burnside, and the sack race by Willie
Schwalm.
The event of the evening was the
balloon ascension made by a man
named Kelley. The crowd began to
gather around the balloon shortly after
5 o'clock and they stood and watched
the balloon and each other until 6
o'clock, when the ropes holding the in
hated bag were released and Mr.. Kelley
shot up in the air hanging by his knees,
to the great delight of the small boys.
When about 1000 feet high he made a
parachute jump and landed all right.
The vaudeville entertainment was not
very well patronized, as the crowd
could stand outside and see and hear
almost as we'll as those who paid a
quarter and went inside. The display
| of fireworks closed the evenings enter
tainment.
There was very little trouble at the
park on account of drunkenness Only
two men were elected from the grounds
on account of being too noisy for the
| comfort of others.
One accident occurred in the after
noon, and it resulted in a slight in
jury. Wade Jones. a boy about IS
years old, discharged a pistol loaded
with a blank cartridge so that the
charge of powder tore a small piece of
flesh from the left index finger. The
wound was painful but not dangerous.
1t was after IL o'clock before the
crowd left the park, but it is safe to
say that those who remained in To-
peka and attended the celebration had
a better time than those who went to
Kansas City and tramped hot pave
ments all day long.

A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit of
covering his tracks by exuding an inky
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him out of view. There's good deal of
the cutie fish about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by a woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of doctors adj
vice IS really made. And all the c1amor
about 90 writing to a woman y is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
is not of writing to a zOo,1san or man
but of writing to a doctor,
For the advice of an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Every day adds to the number of wor1-
en- who take advantage of DIR. Pierce's
genuine offer of consultation by letter
free of cost. As chief consulting physi-
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. r. v.
Pierce has, in a practice of over thirty
years, treated more than ha1f-a-1nillion
women for female troubles with the re-
markable record of ninety eight per
cent of cures. Sick women are invited
to consult DIR. Pierce by letter, without
fear and without fee. Every letter Is
held as strictly private and sacredIy con-
hdential, and all answers are mailed
sealed IN plain envelopes without print
ing of any kind upon them.
