VINEWOOD PEOPLE HERE
Messrs. Wilson and Myers Re-
fuse to Discuss Plans.

Everett W. Wilson and L F. Myers,
the head men of the Vinewood Park
railway enterprise reached Topeka to-
day, and had a long conference this
afternoon with County Surveyor John
Rogers, who surveyed the Winner cleo
trio line to Kansas City, and with Man
ager Kelley and Superintendent Ward,
the local end of the VinewoOd Park
road.
The object of the conference is not
known. but from the fact that Mr.. Rog-
ers was one of the conferees it is not
difficult to surmise that about the next
announcement to be expected is that
the Winner line has completed traffic
arrangements with the Vinewood Park
road.
Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Myers did not
appear to be in a communicative frame
of mind when a reporter for the State
fee this afternoon. Addressing Mr.. Ny
ers and Mr. Wilson, the State Journal
reporter said:
Il suppose you have come to start the
work OF building the Vinewood Park
road"
Mr. Myers. with his accustomed
astuteness, preserved a discreet silence.
Mr.. Wilson grunted.
When viii you begin the work of
building2" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Myers stuck his hands down be-
low zero in his pockets and looked out
of the window. Mr.. Wilson said:
Il don't know.
What do you propose to do about
the demand of the union laborers here
for s-hour days instead of 10-hour
days?"
Mr.. Myers raised his eyebrows and
looked a t the ceiling. Mr. Wilson said:
I never heard anything about it.
What IS it all about?"
That's right, guess that is the first
he has heard of it." chimed in Frank
Kelley.
The reporter explained the situation
briefly and asked what the company
would likely do in the matter.
I don't know" said Mr.. Wilson.
Cant you give some idea as to when
work will commence" asked the State
Journal reporter again.
4 don't know anything about It. You
see I have been here only about five
minutes am very busy, and haven't
time to talk to you any longer"
And with that Mr.. Wilson proceeded
to get busy"

GRESHAM GOT UP.
His Trouble in Landing on Stage at
Populist Convention.


One Of the funny things in the conven-
ton last night was when T. H Grishams
of Chase county, started to make a
get on the platform The platform is
about four or five feet higher than the
floor, and Chairman Sam Hale, who
weighs 125 pounds stretched down a
helping hand to help up Grisham. who
weighs $50 pounds. The result was not
especially helpful to Grisham and It
came near being disastrous to Hale.
Edwin Taylor, who was sitting back OF
the stage, rushed to Hale's assistance,
and pulled on Hale's coat tails. Three
or four others lined up behind Taylor,
willie several mere were trying to push
up on Grisham from below. For a min
ute or two there was an exciting tug
of war Grisham against the field, but 1t
finally landed him on the platform.
At 11:55 last night the convention
formally adjourned until Wednesday,
June rs. Six minutes later, at one min
ute past midnight. it was again called
to order. Chairman Hale thanked the con-
vention for its orderly behavior ''yester-
day" but he said he was so tired with
his labors that he had been unable to
sleep a wink since yesterdays ses-
sion" The adjournment was a formal
ity to make the record show thar the
ticket was nominated on June 25.
