FIRST MONEY RECEIVED.
Butler County School Sends $7.25
For Mckinley Fund.

Governor Stanley Is already receiving
returns from his Mckinley memorial
movement in the public schools. The
first report comes from Butler county,
and if the other schools do as well as
the one reported the school children
of Kansas will raise a big amount for
the fund.
The report comes from Miss Minnie o.
Kincaid, teacher in district No. 4S, But
Ter county, who sends in a donation of
SIPS from the pupils of her school AS
the district has only 81 pupils of school
age, this is a record of more than 20
cents per pupil which is a pretty warm
cents ped pupil, which is a pretty war1R
pace for a small school to set.
The governor is greatly pleased with
this start more than three weeks in
advance of the time fixed for the do
nations in the schools.

POLICE JOTTINCS.
Officers Made Happy by an In
crease in Pay.
Not All Members of Force Are
Favored.

About half the police force were made
happy last night when the city council
gave them a raise of wages. 1t was ar
ranged that all policemen having served
three years and over should receive a
raise of ten dollars per month and all
having served two years got a five dol
lar raise. The first class is composed of
Sergeants McElroy and Golf, and Pa
trolmen Bernard, PARCELS, Smith,
Walker, Henderson and Simpson; Off
GERS at large, Pavey and Lucas, and
land, Hutton and Downie come in for
a five dollar raise by virtue of two
years service, and it is plain to a
casual observer that the result is an
up the police force to the tune of $3.50
per month, or $1,560 per year, but of
course a little amount like this will
make no impression on the city finances.
The only case on trial in police court
today was one where Roy Cronenberg
of North Topeka figured as defendant,
and Mr.. and Mrs. N. H. Wolf as prose-
cutting witnesses. Like all the other
cases of like size, it began on New
Years night when Cronenberg is al
the door of the Wolf hone, lit North
Kansas avenue. AS in the case against
Smoke" Williams ct al, the rock was
introduced as evidence, and the com
planning witnesses were sure of the
identity of the accused Cronenberg
had witnesses to prove that he was at
neighbours house at the time of the
alleged deal, but the evidence was
against him, and three dollar fine was
the result.
The police department entertained a
horse thief, and not an angel unaware,
when Jake Thompson, a small dark
complexioned youth was fined five dol
lars for vagrancy Monday morning. He
would have escaped had he not at
tempted to tell a large fish story about
his ranch life in Wyoming, thereby
running a foul of Judge Lindsay, who
knows something about Wyoming him
self. His story would not hold water,
even shucks, so he got a fine. He
was at once made a trusty, and had the
freedom of the premises when the chief
received a letter from the sheriff at
En- poria, who wanted a small dark in
dividual for horse stealing. The police
at once noticed the description fitted
Thompson, and he was sweated into a
confession. In his confession he said
that he sold the horse near Emporia.

FRANCHISE FORFEITED.
Leaven worth Kansas City Electric
Line in Trouble.

Leavenworth, Jan. THE board Of
county commissioners yesterday declare
forfeited the franchise Of the Kansas
City-Leavenworth electric line. This
action was taken because of the failure
of the electric line officials to fulfill all
their obligations as stated in the fran
chise.
There are several causes for action
against the electric line. The chief one
is the failure of the company to con-

RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD.

Figures of the bureau of statistics
show the number of miles of railway in
operation in the United States at the end
of 1900 as 1874, 32i and adding the esti-
mate Of the Railway Age, 5,057, the con-
struction for the year 1901, brings the
grand total for the United States to
19937S miles. This. 1t is understood,
does not include railways operated by
electricity, of which the mileage exclu-
sive of street and suburban roads is now
considerable and rapidly increasing. so
that it may safely be said that the rail-
way mileage of the United States ex-
elusive. of those for street and suburba N
service, is fully 100000 miles.
For the entire world. the London
Daily Mail Year Book for 1902 estimates
the total miles open for traffic at 1884,
34S, of which 22o, 657 miles were in North
America, 16S, sos in Europe, 35, $50 miles
in Asia, %, 364 in South America, 10. $50
in Africa, and 1922 miles in Austral-
asia. Thus the United States has two
ffths of the railway mileage of the
world, and a larger mileage than any
other single country.
Comparing the mileage Of other coun-
tries with that of the United States, the
United States stands first with 1879. 37S
miles; German empire, 81, 934; Russia,
1884; france, z6,blS; 1nd1a, Zo,VSS' ;
Austria Hungary, 22.91s; Great Britain
and Ireland, 21,100; Canada, 1867;
British Australasia, 1926; Argentina.
1o.41e; italy, $50; Mexico, s.6eS; Brazil.
SITS. and Spain, $500 miles.
OF the half million miles of railway
1n the world, it is estimated that about
one-third are owned by the govern
ments of the countries in which they
are located About nine-tenths of tie
railways of Germany are owned by the
national or state governments; about
tWo-thirds of those of Russia are owned
by the government, and nearly one-half
Of those of Austria-Hungary are also
owned by the government A large pro-
portion or the railways OF France VIII
become the property of the government
about the middle of the present cen
fury. In Italy nearly all of the rail-
roads are owned by the governing ut
but are operated by private companies
which lease the lines from the govern
ment. In Australasia, nearly all of the
railways are owned by the govern
n1ents of the various colonies, and in
India large proportion of the Is, 035
miles in operation are owned or guar
anteed by the Indian government.
1t is especially with reference to the
railways of the United States that the
bureau of statistics figures present de-
tails suitable for commercial purposes.
They show that the railway mileage of
the United States was, in $780, % miles {:
In 1910. 2.S13; in 1880. 9.021; in 1860 3d.
