KAw VALLEY FARMERS OBJECT
May Oppose Transfer of Winner Line
Right of Way to Stillwel.

Kansas City, March 9.-The farmers
in the Kaw valley, between Kansas
City, Kas.,. and Lawrence, are consid
erably exercised over the reports pub
lished in the newspapers that W. E.
Winner has transferred the right of
way granted him for an electric rail-
way to A Z. Stillwel for an entrance
to Kansas City of his proposed air line
to the Pacific coast The land was ac-
quired by Winner and his associates for
the right of way for the Kansas City,
Lawrence & Topeka Electric railway.
The Kaw valley farmers say they do
not wish to be placed in the attitude
of opposing or in any way obstructing
the building of a great railway line to
the coast, yet they think it would be
an imposition on them should this land
granted or sold for an electric railway
be diverted to the use of a steam rail-
way
The farmers are not altogether cer-
tain as to the reading of the contracts
which have already been signed, but
they assert that under the representa-
lions made by Winner and his assoei-
ates no motive power other than cleo
tricity was ever considered in granting
or selling the land for railway pur-
poses.
1--WE feel that we ought to encourage
the building of an electric railway as
it would afford US the facilities we need
for quick transit to the city," said one
of the leading land owners yesterday.
Had we known that a steam railroad
was to be operated over the right of
way it would have been an entirely diff
ferent matter with US"
The right of way obtained for the
Kansas City, Lawrence & Topeka Elec-
trio railway runs parallel with the
Muncie boulevard from Kansas City,
Kas., to Bonner Springs. The Union
Pacific main line also parallels the
Muncie boulevard. The main objection
of the farmers is that with a steam
railway running on each side of the
boulevard its use as a main thorough
fare to the city would practically be
DESTROYED.

ONE RING CIRCUS.
Farmer and His Team Were the Only
Performers.

A runaway furnished a great deal of
excitement and little damage for the peo-
pie on Kansas avenue between Fifth
street and Sixth avenue Friday. It was
a one-ring runaway, which went in a cir.
Gle instead of a straight line.
The tongue of a farmers wagon drop
ped he was about midway between
the two streets and his horses became
frightened. They pranced around until
both got on the same side of the tongue
and this made the wagon go in a circle.
Occasionally the tongue would strike
some obstruction and throw the front
of the wagon, including the farmer, q
foot or two in the air, but the farmer
chung pluckily to the lines, while the
public formed a circle at safe distance
to watch the performance. Everybody
was afraid to try to get hold of the team
for fear of wrecking the whole outfit.
In one trip around the ring, the team
wagon and all were on the sidewalk on
the east side of the avenue, and the
horses came within two feet of going
through the front of Lakes drug store.
1t was a very exciting moment, but the
farmer got them headed for the street
just in time to save the plate glass.
At length the tongue struck the edge
of the curbing squarely and the horses
were run up against a. telephone pole,
stopping them until the bystanders could
seize them. The only damage done was
the breaking of the tongue

SANTA FE INTO OAKLAND.
Electric Line Will Extend From Val
lev Road Terminus.

San Francisco, March 1O.-A franchise
has been applied for from the board OF
supervisors of Contra Costa county at
Martinez. in the name of two of the most
prominent hnancierS and promoters OF
Oakland, that may mean the entrance OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road into Oakland and which certainly
means a connection between the present
terminus of that road at Point Rich
application are A S Macdonald. a well
known young promoter who has. done
much advance work for the Santa Fe
railroad, and William G. Henshaw. presi-
dent of the Union Savings bank and one
of the leading bankers of Oakland.
The petitioners ask for franchise for
an electric railroad to run from the
county line between Alameda and Contra
Costa counties. The proposed line of the
railroad Is regarded as the clearest indi-
cation that il has something to do with
connecting the end of the Valley Rail-
road at Point Richmond with Oakland
The business between San Pablo and
Oakland will not warrant the cOnstruc-
ton of an electric railroad and it means
that this line will connect the population
on this side of the bay with the terminus
of the Valley railroad at Point Richmond.

BABY 'PHONES HEAVEN.
Tires of Waiting For Mamma to Hear
Her Prayers and Tries the Wire.

c ayeaInoTe' IL, Mapeh io-Ine icy 6es-
Episcopal church at Warren, Ill, has
a daughter nearly years of age who
is very particular about saying her
prayers before retiring each night. One
evening last week her mother was de-
tanned from hearing her prayers at the
usual hour, and little Louise waited
patiently some time. Finally patience
ceased to be a virtue with her and sha
climbed upon chair. and, taking down
the receiver of the telephone, shouted
into it:
Hello Central, dive me heaven. I
want to say my prayers
She struck the keynote, for immed-
lately her mamma heard the little ones
prayers without the use of a telephone,
and the sleepy little one was Struggled

H11ARIoUs coNpUcr COSTS.
Railroad Company Made to Pay For
Disturbance of Passengers.

A recent case in the Texas courts
emphasizes the need which exists in
some quarters for a more efficient regu-
lation in connection with the conduct
of passengers in sleeping cars. Some
individuals seem possessed of the idea
that because they have paid their fare
they have the right to conduct them
selves as they please regardless of the
surroundings. Such persons should be
taught that other people have rights
which should be protected, one of which
is exemption from excessively bolster
Gus conversation. 1t not infrequently
happens that a party will occupy sec
ton, and more frequently the smoking
room, and become exceedingly, hilarious
to the great discomfort of quieter-dis-
posed or even sick people who may be
upon the same car.
The case referred to resulted in
judgment of $500 against the railroad
company for permitting such a dis
turbance. and it is hoped viii serve as
a reminder of their duties in the prem
iSeS.

MARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better Than the Old Saw

Something Better Than the Old Saw.
The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false, but
there is another and a better one which
is literally true. When March comes in
and finds you taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to purify. enrich and vitalize
your blood, you may expect, when 1t
goes out, that it will leave you free
from that tired feeling and with none
of the bois. pimples and eruptions
which manifest themselves because of
i'm pure blood in the spring. If you
have not already begun. taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla for your spring medicine,
we advise you to begin today. We as
sure you it will make you feel better
all through the coming summer.
