Oberlin, Kan, Sept. 16.-The business
men of Ober1in have already held a
public meeting in the interest of secur-
ing the Missouri Pacific in case that

indication yet of finding the coveted
prize. The prospectors agree and have
the machinery to drin $500 feet If oil
is not discovered sooner.

and Atwood will be completed in a few
days and the mayors of both towns are
anxious to exchange the first courtesies
upon the completion of this great pub

TO TAKE THREE YEARS

Parsons. Kan. Sept. 16-The Sun
vays: Two Bohemians who claimed to
be newspaper men in their country
reached Parsons early yesterday morn
called at the Sun Office for a certificate
showing that they had visited Parsons,
which they placed on file with large
number of other certificates from
various newspapers in the large cities
they had visited on their tour.
The names of the two tourists were
Jarsalon Tuzar and Jan Nahodil. and
they claim to be from Orange, Bo-
of years connected with a newspaper.
They started from their home on Feb
vuary 4. 1901, to make trip around
ne world afoot and were to complete
1t in three years.
They have been in Cuba and through
the entire southern part of the United
States and are now on their way to
San Francisco. from which point they
will take a steamer to Yokohama,
Japan. One of the men can express
other one says but very little, leaving
the principal part of the conversation
to his companion.
They are both healthy, hearty looking
men and their trip so far seems to have
agreed with them wonderfully well
They said that on their trip they near
ly always travel on the railroad tracks
as they find the railroads to be tn,
IuOSt olrecL route between the QlIIefen
towns and they have to make less in
quiry regarding the directions wheI
travelling on the railroad tracks.
They do not seem to be rushing thei
tour and take ample time to write bacl

siderable corn. A great deal of farm
lands is changing hands and in many
cases home people are the purchasers.
In another year Atwood will have
new school house and the long dis
lance telephone connections with Colby,
Herndon, Oberlin and the outside world
will be in operation in a few weeks
The substantial improvements in the
town made by John Burton, the Foster
Lumber company and others in building
operations show that they have conf
dence in Atwood's future. What the
town most needs is another railroad.
and this they are going after just as
soon as the Missouri Pacific pulls out
of Lenora for Oberlin and their Denver
connection. Her churches and schools,
newspapers, elegant lawns and houses,
hotels and business men are an indica-
ton of health and prosperity.

Considerable doubt is expressed over
the current report that the Chicago &
Alton is to buy the Kansas Pacific.
There are questions involved in such a
improbable, but. of course, it is possible.
There is no longer a Kansas Pacific
railroad company. The Kansas Pacific.
ten years ago, was taken over by the
Union Pacific. The road between Kan
sas City and Denver is known as d.
visions OF the Union Pacific. The same
bonds and mortgage that cover the
old Kansas Pacific. In order for the
Alton to secure control of the line it
would be necessary for Hartman to
buy in the Union Pacific bonds and as
sumo q part of the mortgage. AS the
small interests, however, own the Union
Pacific & Alton, the transfer would not
be very difficult to arrange.
