DE ANGELS RETURNS.
Comic Opera Star Again Pleases a
Topeka Audience.

Rightfully does Jefferson de Angels
style himself on the play bills as Jolly
jeff 1t is title justly assumed and
well sustained.
The audience which greeted him at
the Crawford Saturday night occupied
every seat and box and the standing
room in the balcony. The audience
shook SO with laughter that the rickety
old theater building almost trembled on
its foundation De Angels was seen
here two years ago in 1.-The Jolly Mus
keeter.' Whether he was funnier as
the soldier or as the restaurant keeper
in "A Royal Rogue" Saturday night is
a question hard to determine. One thing
is certain had he been any funnier as
would have gone into Mysteries. De
Angels was not at all funny at the
start. He was supposed to have been
blown through the kitchen door into
view of the audience in a most humor-
Gus manner but it hardly brought
at Jeff and he looked at the audience.
1t seemed a question whether there
would be a mutual acceptance. De
Angels face was not humorous in its
make up. when he first hove in sight
His countenance was in repoSe, so to
speak, and there was not line nor
wrinkle of merriment to be seen. De
Angels seems to warm up to his work
like a. race horse. Slowly but surely he
grew funnier until every diaphragm in
the theater was on the verge of col
lapse. Then De Angeles face had lost
its look of repose. His mouth wore a

STOVES IN BOX CARS.
Potato Shippers Obliged to Use Ex-
traordinary Precautions.

Potato shippers of the northwest fear
that the car shortage is going to de-
prive them of much of the benefit they
hoped to derive from the peculiar con-
ditions which now exist on the mar
ket. The bulk of potato shipments
from the northwest find a market in
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Ne
braska, and southwestern territories,
and in former years the various rail-
roads secured the necessary refrigerator
equipment from the private car lines,
of which there We're a large number.
This year the bulk of the private car
line refrigerator equipment is owned by
the Armour Car company, and owing
to large meat and fruit business there
are none of these cars to spare for the
potato traffic.
In consequence shippers are compell-
ed to accept box cars, and equip each
one with stove. as well as send a
man in charge of the cars, and this adds
considerably to the cost of transporta-
ton.

CHANGED THE ROUTE.
New Locations For Factories at lola
Are Opened Up.

lola, Kan, Nov. 25-Surveyors are at
work on the switch of the Fort Scott,
lola & Western which makes a radical
change in the route as first suggested
The road originally contemplated max
ing their switch to run from the main
line west Of Rock Creek and thence
keeping to the south of the Missouri
Pacific switch to the plant. This plan
has evidently been changed for the
foad is now being surveyed to run from
the main line east of the creek which
will make crossing of the creek I'M
necessary. The road will run south of
Rock Creek and will cross Elm Creek
above its junction with Rock Creek.
The new line will be a good thing for
lola The factory sites are becoming
scarce and the new line will open up
other sites that will allow factories to
be built on railroad line. Heretofore
in order to get on a railroad line it has
been necessary to keep close to the
present lines of the Santa Fe and Mis-
souri, Pacific but now it will be possible
to locate a factory further from town.
The new switch will also be much
cheaper for the railroad as they will
not have to build an expensive tressle

Burlington & Missouri River Road
Use Them For Fence Posts.

The Burlington and Missouri River
railroad during 1900 used 1880 posts
which were made by the company out
of discarded boiler fiues, and in the
two years preceding 10000 posts were
made. The company discards from g.
900 to 5000 f1ues a year and sometime
ago the general superintendent, T. E.
Calvert, conceived the idea of
using these f1ues for fence posts. The
road runs largely through prairie coun-
try, and it is estimated that about 10000
wooden posts are burned every year by
prairie fires. Experience shows that the
f1ue posts as made by the company
cost from 16 to 1872 cents, depending on
the scrap value of the old f1ues Red
cedar posts cost 1919 cents and oak
posts 16 to 161a cents. The flues are cut
to length and holes are punched for
attaching the wire, then they are coated
with tar and concrete bases are attach
ed to them. This latter process is car
ried on in batteries, each containing
forty-eight molds- The fiues are put
in the molds and the concrete poured
around, this being made one part ce-
ment, three parts sand, three parts
stone. The stone used is from the size
of a grain Of corn to that of a walnut

Various Estimates on the Cost

The loss of property occasioned by the

ciaI is reported to estimate it at $200, 900.
This is probably much too high. 1t is be-

One prominent Santa Fe OFFICIAL who

would be the total financial loss, said that
it would not over $4,000.
