And there are more of them at some
times than at other times.
For, instance, when the weather IS cold.
and the thermometer registers in the neigh
borhOod of zero. and there is snow on the
ground and fee in the air and the cold
winds whistle through every crack that is
not tightly eaIked-then the salvation Army
Hotel is crowded TO its utmost capacity.
But in such weather as we have been
having this winter. with balmy spring days
succeeding clustering spring days. what
necessity has the "hObor and his brother
unfortunate for lodging inside Of a house?
Mighty little.
For where IS the sense in a bloke paying
hard cash for a bed when he can sleep just
as comfortably in a box car or a coal bin?
SO the Salvation Army Hotel is not
crowded these DAYS.

A Visitor. a Dog. and What

coaxing whistle. from the middle OF the

The dog took II all ~good-naturedIy and
wagged his monstrous tail in response to
each pat on the head and each welcoming
snap OF grimy fingers.
But the man was not friendly. He called
the dog away from his new-made friends.
and when a fat gent suggested that he
would like to climb on "Jumbo's' back and
take a ride around the room the man was
insulted.
Hands often that there dog. you." he
growled.

don't want me to ride the dog, I'll ride

happy in anticipation of a rough house

WILL NAVIGATE THE AIR.

The successful tests Of M. Santo-
Dumont's cigar>shaped balloon
conducted ins.,Paris last week con-
firm the belief long held by scien>
fists who have given any attention
to aerial navigation that the Per>
tected flying machine" of the fu>
ture will be essentially an air ship.
Having accepted this as fact,
the problem Of navigating the air
resolves itself into question OF
motor mechanism and steering ap>
paratus. 1t is a question of proPel'
ling and guiding the balloon
through the upper regions. The
tests made by Santos Dumont in
sailing about Paris certainly show
a more perfect control over the
course OF an aerial craft than has
been attained by previous experi>
menters.
The ease with which the invcn>
tor ascended to certain height
and descended at will constitutes
the interesting feature of the eXper
iments at Paris. 1t is easy to con-
struct balloon that will ascend
with a man and the motor mechans
ism attached to it. Ii is not dis
ficult problem, either, to send it
through the air by means of the
screw propeller, operating on the
same principle by which a propel>
Ter sends ship through the water
But how to stop the air ship at a
gwen altitude and cause it to de
scend at the will Of the operator is
problem that has apparently baf-
fled the inventors.
That man will navigate the air
during this century is foregone
conclusion. Germany and France
appear to be the rival nations for
the honor OF giving to the world
the first practical and successful
aerial craft.-Chicago Herald.

Cnbl. !. Now .t WORK.

The laying of cable between Cape
Nome and Unalaklik and st. Michael
in Alaska last summer was interesting
in many ways. 1t was the first deep
sea cable of American manufacture to
be laid anywhere and the weather oon-
ditions obtaining on the Alaskan coast,
even in summer, are such as to render
cable laying operations very precarious.
The ship in which the cable was coiled
was wrecked within sight OF its start
ing place after landing the shore end
of the cable, and with characteristic
American promptness in an emergency
the cable was pulled out Of the hold
by hand, coiled up-some 1S7 miles Of
ton the deck of big scow and this
was towed by paddlewheel steam
boat from St. Michael over the course
with the cable trailing out behind as
best it might Despite all these OBJ
stacles the cable was laid and is now
a& work.

LOOKING UP THE LAW.
Significant Move of the Attorney
General Relative to DecIar-
inc an Extra Session.

Denver, July l8--The attorney gener-
ars office is busy looking up the law on
modus operandi OF calling special ses-
son OF the state legislature. During
the past ten days Governor Ormao, Sec
retary OF State Mills and DIR. Chipley
have discussed the matter with either
Attorney General Post or others IN his
Office
The governor has practically made the
promise that il the suit brought by the
corporations will in any way jeopardize
tho states revenues this fall, or year
the general assembly without a moments
delay.
The flibusteriog of the attorneys hav-
ing charge OF the suit against the state
has given rise to the rumor that they
propose to keep the case from final is
sue as long as possible in hopes that
Governor Orman cannot find his way
clear to calling an extra session this
summer
Although two weeks have passed since
the first arguments 10 the case, little or
no progress has been made. The attor-
neys for the state have been convinced
that the opposition made wise selection
when it took the case to Pueblo and ap-
prehend that the delays will be frequent
and long.
Just what effect that will have upon
the calling OF special sessin can only be
surmised as the governor refuses TO dis
cuss the matter, until the case hase has
taken some definite shape or has been
decided one way or the other. But the
request to look up the law on the calling
of special session is thought by many
to be a significant move.

Union Pacific Telegraph Line Being
Rebuilt,

Large quantities Of material are
being unloaded along the line to be
used in rebuilding the telegraph line
along the Union Pacific from Wamego
to Brookville, distance Of about 100
miles. The material will be distrib.
uted along the line from Junction
City. With the exec tion Of the wire
the entire line will be new between
these points. The wires will be re-
soldered and tie service will be
greatly improved. Work on the line
will commerce in a week or two.
The Union Pacific telegraph line
through central Kansas has been in .
dilapidated condition for years. Mucf
of the present line has been in ust
since the road was built. The polel
have rotted off and been reset so otter
that in many places the wires are 81
low that the line has the appearance
Of a wire fence.

Thousands Of Dollars Being Distrib'

This is pension week throughout
che country and in Abilene notaries
have been kept busy making out pa
pers. 1t would be hard to estimate
the amount OF money put into circu-
lation in Dickinson county by pen
sions alone. There are many old
soldiers, widows and orphans in Abb
lene and Dickinson county that are
benefited greatly by their pensions
which range from s6 to $50 per
month.
Some idea of the extent OF the busi-
ness transacted at the Topeka pension
agency can be obtained when it is
known that it takes 224 check books
with 500 checks in each to make q
quarterly payment. These books are
furnished by the government printing
house at Washington. A special
clerk is designate to sign the agents
name to the checks and it .keeps him
busy doing it.

OPENING THE SOUTHWEST.
Rock Islands FL Paso Extension I
Nearly Completed.

Early in 1902, the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway will throw
open to the public its new line to
Texas and the great South and South.
west. The opening Of this new line
will mean much 10 the travelling and
shipping public and will take its place
as one Of the great railroad improve
ments Of that year.
This new line is an extension Of the
branch OF the Rock Island extending
to Liberal in the southwest corner OF
Kansas. The extension from Liberal
runs in an almost straight line to FL
Paso, Texas, the terminus. The dis
tance from Liberal to FL Paso is 542
miles. A remarkable piece of railroad
construction is to be found on this
extension, being a perfectly straight
piece OF track, without curve, for
the distance OF 1928 miles, thus becom-
ing the longest piece Of straight track
in North America. The maximum
grade is only one per cent, another
remarkable and important fact. This
will make the Rock Island the only
true southern route, with the lowest
altitude and much lower grade than
any other line. Few people will
realize what this means until fully
considered.
At the present time two gangs,
comprising several hundred men and
teams, are working with all possible
speed toward each other from either
end Of the route. Those on the north
have about Is miles further to &c be-
fore reaching Santa Rosa, the meeting
point; while those building northward
from Ell Paso are nearer by some few
miles to the goal. 1t is expected that
they will meet each other during the
latter part Of December of this year,
and what time remains OF 1901 will
be employed in putting on the finish
ing touches to this immense extern
sion, which will make the Great Rock
Island the "Short Line" between the
Middle West and the South.
