Balie Waggener Gives Some Advice

Bale p Waggener, of Atchison, gen
eral attorney for the Missouri Pacific
railway in Kansas, was in Kansas City
the other day and said: Every time I
come to Kansas City I Shudder when I
look at that shed called the Union depot
To say that it is a disgrace to enterpris-
ing Kansas City is putting it mildly.
Kansas City should have Union depot
that would compare with that at ST.
Louis, but if she waits for the railroads
to begin work on it she will, / believe,
wait for years. The quickest and surest
way for Kansas City to get a new
Union depot is for her commercial club
to take up the question and make The
matter a Kansas City enterprise. A
move in that direction would, I be-
lieve, start the thing and once started
the railroads will follow"

Trials Of Summer Resorts

Tomorrow is the day upon which a
tidal wave has been predicted to wipe
out Atlantic City. 1t is realty mar
vellous the amount of credence which
has been placed in the prophecy of an
ignorant colored man, not only by the
more ignorant class, but those sufii-
ciently well educated to be Supposed to
be superior to that sort of thing.
The proprietors Of hotels and board
ing houses have had no end of trouble
with their colOred help and it is only
due TO the greatest persuasion that any
have remained there. There also has
been a noticeable effect on the visitors.
Many have cut their stays short, so as
not to be there on the fatal nineteenth,
and others have postponed their pro-
posed visits until after that date.
But Atlantic City is not the only re-
sort which has peck of trouble to
contend with. For the past four weeks
that is. the latter part Of July and the
first two weeks in August, there has
been only four days on which rain has
not fallen at a number of the lake and
mountain resorts in central New York
Complaints therefrOm are deep and
ominous, for of necessity, the pleasure.

stricted. The prevalence Of tonsilii'
