TOO MUCH ON JOHNSTON.
Police Find Man Carrying Castor Oil,
Revolver and Testaments.

officer Mcintosh saw a man on his
beat near Seventh street today about
noon who looked stuffed. Mcintosh
grabbed him and led him away to the
grim baStile.
JailOr Morgan, who took his shift at
noon on account of the monthly change
began to search the victim, assisted by
a posse of coppers. The first thing they
found was the mans name, which was
j. d. Johnston. 1t took half an hour to
unload Mr.. Johnston of seven testa-
ments. a bottle of castor oil, a six
shooter and a pair of ear muffs, nine
teen railroad folders ct al, newspapers
both ancient and modern, one penny
dreadful entitled THE James Boys
Move; or, The Game that was Blocked
by a Keen Detective" a dozen blank
check books, two dozen patent medi-
cine adds, and a bushel of miscella-
neous literature and other stuff, also
one bunch of whiskers. Mcintosh re-
turned to the European restaurant,
where the gentleman was stopping, and
secured two small valises loaded to the
scupperS with a like assortment of
worthless papers and letters. Mr..
Johnston is a small man, and says he
is from Miami county. The police say
he has bats in his garrett" and will
hold him on the charge of carrying a
revolver until they can learn more of
his history. The bunch of goods re-
moved from his person would stuff a
pillow case.

topeka The HUB .
Telephone Lines Will Radiate
in Many Directions.
Reaching to the Boundaries of
the State.

Within four months the Independent
telephone associations of northeast,
southeast, southwest and northwest
Kansas will have long distance tele-
phone lines in operation from the four
corners of the state of Kansas and CEN
tering in Topeka.
Material for the construction of these
lines was ordered here last week when
the Independent telephone men were
in convention The details of the scheme
to connect up the various parts of the
state with long distance telephone lines
were given out today.
The state of Kansas is divided into
four sections by the independent tele-
phone men, and the corporations, COM
panies or individual owners of ex-
changes in each section are banded to-
gether in a, subdivision of the sta te
association of independent telephone
men.
The companies in each division will
build long distance telephone lines from
the farthermost corner of the state in
each of the directions named, passing
through the most important cities in
each section and centering at Topeka.
Branch lines will be added to towns off
the line as fast as needed.
One of the results of the convention
last week is the agreement of the rep
reSentatives of all the independent tel
ephone exchanges of the state to aid
in any city or town between the Bell
company and the Independent COM
pany.
The agreement is to prevent the Bell
company from forcing out of existence
or buying up any Independent line by
pursuing tactics that will tend to lower
telephone rates and thereby make the
weaker company quit the field. In event
that an Independent company becomes
hard pressed by the Bell company it
will have the financial aid of every 9TH
er Independent company in the state.
The Independent company that is
building plant in Kansas City will
undoubtedly build a long distance line
to Topeka to connect with the long dis
tance toll lines that will center here.
THE plan to build long distance tele-
phone lines into Topeka from the four
corners of the state has no connection
with the plans of the DeLands, who
have organized the Kansas Long Dis
tance Telephone and Telegraph Co. to build
long distance trunk lines to various To-
.calities of Kansas from Kansas City"
said an Independent telephone man to-
day. MY understanding of the DeLand
project is that lines will be built and
leased to private parties between any
point by that company"
