WANT MENANDTEA
Grading on the Orient Road
in Oklahoma.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS SOON
Contemplate TO Connect Wich-
ita and Augusta in 40 Days

IF nothing transpires in the meantime
to prevent it, the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient Railway line will have its
grade into Wichita in a very short time.
The construction gang is now working in
Oklahoma, and instructions have been
issued by President Stillwell and the
other officers to connect Wichita and Au-
gusta, O. T., within the next forty days.
The surveying party is short OF men and
are advertising for more.
The bid for the shops and terminal IA
cilities made by Wichita's Commercial
club is still in the hands OF the officials
and nothing definite can be known until
the proposition is submitted TO President
Stillwell, who Is at present in New York.
It is the consensus of opinion that Wich-
ita is too fine a location and 100 good a
distributing point to be overlooked in the
matter Of location, shops and other rail-
road facilities, and it IS believed that
when the time for action comes Wichita
viii come out on top.
The Orient road having acquired par
tial line already graded in Oklahoma, the
surveyors are at work toward Wichita
on that grade. Work is now in progress
south Of Augusta Grade stakes are be-
ing set so that the construction com
pany. in which w c. Edwards is inter
ested. can commence work at once. Mr.
Edwards has received instructions TO
push the work of grading as fast as Een
and teams can do it and also to have it
complete to Wichita within forty days
time
Owing to so many men having been
given work in the harvest fields the con-
struction company has found it difficult
10 obtain sufficient number Of men and
they are advertising for more. How
ever, harvest Is nearly half over and It
is well that II IS so, as word comes from
there that there are so many surveyors
in that vicinity that they have the en-
nifty CT the farming class on account OF
tremping down so much wheat.
P. B. Waters Of Augusta has written
to Wichita IN an attempt to secure men
and teams to work on the construction
Of the road, as it IS absolutely necessary
to have them Immediately Available Ia
Dor down there has all been consumed by
the farmers who are anxious to get their
wheat In shock
While the stillwell project has been
kept quiet for some time some important
developments re expected the latter part
Of the week or the former part Of next
week.

DIFFICULT GAME TO CAPTURE.
Former Governor of Kentucky Tay-
Tor Not Likely to be Given
Up ON RequisitiOn.

Frankfort, KY, June 1S.-The state
officials, as well as representatives of
the prosecution will neither affirm nor
deny the report that acquisitions on
the governors of Ohio, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania for the arrest of W.
5. Taylor have beer made out in an
ticipation of his trip through those
states to the national convention. 1t
is the general belief that the attempt
to arrest him will be made after his
arrival at Philadelphia. A large num-
Der of letters from persons in this
state have been written to Gov. Stone
of Pennsylvania urging him to follow
the position taken by Gov. Mount in
the event Taylor is arrested. Gov. Tay-
lor's friends say they have assurances
from leading republicans of Pittsburgh
that a requisition will not be honored
in that state.

DoN'Ts FOR CLUBwoMEN.

At the recent annual meeting of the
Arkansas Federation of Women's
Clubs Mrs Frederick Hanger, the pres
ident, made some sensible suggestions
to the women there assembled, saws
the New J ork Mail and Express. Some
of the Don'ts of Mrs. hangers ad6ress
will be suggestive in other club
circles:
Don't join club just because there
Is vacancy.
Don't join club until you have
read and understand its bylaws.
Don't join club expecting TO at
tend only when there is nothing else
to do.
Don't join club expecting the Of
ficers to furnish all the fuel for the
steam of enthusiasm and for the FIRE
of energy.
Don't imagine If you are an officer
! that you have any higher personal
privileges than high private, except
to work early and often.
Don't imagine that every other sub
ject on the programme would have
suited you better than the one the
committee assigned to you.

The unofficial narratives coming oy

from Che Foo:

Des Moines, Ia, June 1S.-The Des
Moines auditorium, used for conven-
ton hall and constructed year ago
at a cost of $4,000, was destroyed by
fire yesterday. 1t was insured for $780,
900. 1t was occupied by the CONNER
eial exchange and the I. w. T. Chase
Amusement Co., the latter holding
lease and conducting a vaudeville
show. All the seats, effects and
scenery were burned, amounting to
$4,000, making total loss as now esti-

ance. The origin of the fire is mys-
terry, and the belief seems to be that
it was incendiary. The auditorium will
be rebuilt Immediately.
