M. L. Fields, principal of Lincoln
school, led a small boy named Ellsworth
Haley into the police station Wednes-
day afternoon and charged him with
stealing books from the school. The boy,
who does not look like thief, stoutly
denied the charge, and said he had taken
no books from the school except some
unused ones which had belonged to an
older brother. The boy told such a
straight story that he was released on
his own promise to return and stand
trial at 4 O'Clock today.

LAKE FOR THE SANTA FE.
Will Have a 6O-Acre Pond at New
kirk. Ok.

One of the newest things in water sup
plies will be found on the Santa Fes new
branch that is now being built from New
kirk to the southwest. 1t is an artificial
lake and when completed and covered with
water will occupy about 60 AS is
well known the only good supply of water
fit for the use of locomotives and general
railroad uses south of Arkansas City is
away down in Oklahoma. When the new
road was contemplated the question of a
water supply was a vast one and one that
demanded attention. One of the company's
engineers equal to the occasion and
suggested q lake. The water to fill this
lake would have to be rain water and it
will take some time to fill the lake, now
under the course of construction
The place was examined and found to be
good. farm two miles southeast of the
town of Newkirk was purchased. 1t is
naturally adapted for this use and very
little work Is necessary to prepare it for
use. There are about 100 acres of land in
the farm but only about 60 acres will be
used. The steam shOvels now at work on
the grade are building the dam at the low
end of the lake The lake when full will
be nearly fifteen feet deep in its deepest
part. 1t is planned to pipe the water from
the lake to the town of Newkirk. Precau-
lions against an overflow have been taken
and it is so arranged that the surplus of
water will be turned into Wolf creek, a
short distance east of the lake.
The dirt for the dam grade of the
road is being taken from the middle part
of the lakes bed. The soil is gumbo ard
will furnish an aGmirable bottom for the
purpose.

BIG ARENIC EVENT.
Ringing Brothers Famous Circus to
Exhibit Here Soon.

Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows will exhibit in Topeka, Tuesday.
September %. Its thousands of admir-
erS in this vicinity will be interested in
learning that the management has not
only kept up the former high standard
of the show, but has also organized for
the present season the largest and most
comprehensive travelling exhibition
ever known. The great show has been
entirely reconstructed, while the list of
performers, in every department, has
been so completely changed as to make
this years programme new in every
essential particular. There are new acts,
new artists and new spectacular dis
plays, and every civilized land the world
over has been placed under tribute to
secure the latest and most novel arenic
features.
The exhibition opens with the most
gorgeous and unique display of horse
manship ever seen in America. Perhaps
the most fitting way to describe this
beautiful act is to call it a military
horse ballet. 1t is given under the i'm
mediate direction of John O'Rrien, the
greatest of all great horse trainers. A
splendid triple-ring circus performance
follows. Among the artists are many
who have never before been seen in this
country but whose names and achieve
ments are known throughout the world.
In the list of famous acrobats are the
Nelson family of ten unequalled artists;
the Roberts family, the Pettits, the d.
bolian brothers, the Leon sisters and
the great contortionists, Genera and
Theol and Ethardo. The aerialists are
led by the latest novelty, especially i'm
ported by Ringing = others for this
season, the wonderful Dunbar Trio.
direct from Australia; the Holloway
Trio, high-wire acrobats;. the Banvard/,
the Tybell sisters, Nettie Carroll and the
Mikado's Own Troupe of Japanese
equilibrists from Jeddo. The riding sur
passes anything in the equestrian line
ever before attempted. Among the great
riders are the HobSOns, the Schadels,
John and Michael Rooney, Albert and
Madame Davenport, Reno McCree, May
Davenport, Julia Lowande and Albert
Crandall.
The trained animal section of the
show presents Capt. Webb's juggling
seals, Prof. Woods dog and pony cir
GUS and Pearl Souder's famous comedy
elephants Forty funny clowns contrib
ute a wealth of comedy to the perform
ance. The menagerie presents the only
living giraffe and hundreds of other in
teresting and curious animals, including
thirty elephants. The hippodrome races
skillfully reproduce the exciting scenes
of the old Roman amphitheater on
scale of magnitude not surpassed even
in the days of Nero The show will be
given here in it's entirety, and that
means the biggest, best and most con-
vincing circus performance ever seen in
this city.

Good Authority for the Old
Central Branch Story.
Geo. Gould Says 1t will Be Ex-
tended to Denver.
CUT TIME 3 HOURS.
Will Make Great Saving on
Western Time Schedule.
Topeka Line Will Likely Be Ex-
tended.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. George J.
Gould, president of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company, arrived in ST. Louis
Sunday on his annual tour of inspection
of the Gould properties. In an inter-
view Mr.. Gould stated that the Central
branch will be extended west to Den
yer, thereby cutting off more than 12G
miles between Chicago and Denver, and
proportionately shortening the distance
between ST. Louis and Colorado.
This extension will give the Missouri
Pacific practically two tracks west of
the Missouri river to Denver, and will
serve to reduce the time between Chi
cagO and the East and Colorado points
and the Pacific coast about three hours,
and also with proposed cutOffS from
Missouri to Kansas points will lessen the
schedule between st. Louis and the
South to the West.
Accompanied by G. c. Warner, vice
president, and Russell Harding, general
manager of the Missouri Pacific, Mr..
Gould will depart tomorrow morning
to inspect the Western lines of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
The old story of the completion of the
Central branch has been SO often re-
vived that without such authority as
worthy of consideration. Apparently
there is really something in it" this
time.
The Central branch now extends to
Lenora, Norton county, being almost
straight line from Atchison west
through the two north tiers of counties.
It is nearly 300 miles long, and be ex-
tending to Denver would be the short
est line from the Missouri river to Den
yer.
With the completion of the Central
branch it is altogether probable that
the Fort Scott-Topeka line of the Mis-
souri, will be extended north to form a
junction with the Central branch in
jackson, Nemaha or Marshall counties.
This would put Topeka on a through
line, and improve the Missouri Pacific
facilities in this city.

ROCK ISLAND BooMs.
Stock Jumps Up Several Points in
New York.

New York, Sept. 1.-At the general Of
fees of the Rock Island railroad in New
York it is announced that between 85
and 80 per cent of the entire stock issue
had already been deposited under the
plan for an exchange for the new Sc
curities The time for the deposit of
stock as originally announced will ex-
pire Tuesday. The probabilities are.
however, that it will extend beyond
that time in order that all who desire
may be given an opportunity to ex-
change the old stock for the new. The
criticism which has been SO general in
Wall street is said by Rock Island Of
ficials to come entirely from outsiders.
and that they have not had a single
complaint from any of the holders Of
the securities. They argue from this
that there will be no difficulty in carry
ing the plan through successfully. The
attitude of the officials of the stock ex-
change toward the new securities is not
yet settled. Rock Island enjoyed a
veritable boom on the curb Saturday,
the common stock advancing three
points on dealings in 1000 shares and
closing very near the high price. The
preferred had a rise of a point, closing
at 80. The advance reflected the an
nouncement that over 80 per cent of the
old stock had been deposited for ex-
change.

TOPEKA WON TWO.
Manhattan Ball Players Were Not
Fast Enough.

The Topeka Business college took q
couple of games away from the Man
haitian Reds on the Washburn field Sat
urday afternoon. The Topeka team
made eight runs in each game In the
first game Manhattan made two and
in the second game seven.
West pitched the first game for the
visitors and Shop did the work in the
second. McCampbell pitched both games
for the Topeka team. The first game
was an easy victory for the T. &. c.
players but the second was full of
startling situations and climaxes suffi-
cient for a melodrama. The Reds had
a lead in the second game and at the
end of the seventh inning 1t was four
to two in their favor. Then the Topeka
players got together and landed on the
ball for some deeo drives and now and
then a safe hit and with the errors of
