ESKRIDGE OPPOSES 1T.
Doesn't Want Topeka COnnec-
tiens by Electric Line.

While the people in the eastern part
of Wabaunsee county are enthus1astical-
ly in favor of the proposed electric line
connecting them and Council Grove with
Topeka the Eskridge Commercial club
doesn't want the railroad constructed.
Its members think it would take bust
ness away from them. They are in the
position Topeka used to occupy wnen-
ever a proposition was advanced to
build an electric line from here to kan
sas City. Topeka has got bravely over
her timidity.
A letter in the hands of Major t j.
Anderson from G. G. Cooke, a farmer
living near Eskridge, says that the
country and the town will give It's best
aid to pushing through the project. But
he says that the E,Skridge Commercial
club will be against the line. His opfn-
ion Of the force of this opposition is not
at all complimentary to the club. Mr..
Cooke predicts that a delegation of Esk-
ridge people will be in Topeka on No
Vember to attend the meeting at the
Commercial club. A communication
from Harveyville states that three or
four people will represent the community
in Topeka on that occasion. The en-
thusiaSm in favor of the interurban
electric line is very strong throughout
the territory which it is proposed 10
tap.
While the friends of the proposed lire
are without any definite proposition
upon which to work they have all the
determination necessary and Will not
give up until they have succeeded in
getting a road or have found that one is
altogether impracticable. The only Sug-
gestion so far made is to form COM
pany which shall secure a right of way
and. make a survey for the line. With
this beginning one of the chief difficult
ties Of interesting capital in the project
will have been removed. Most o. the
townships appear to be willing to- vote
bonds for the proposition and win be
able to furnish material aid in that way
ALSO. the farmers of all three counties
as well as the merchants in the towns
proposed to be thus connected nave
signified a willingness to subscribe for
a considerable amount of stock A
large part of the stock could be DIS
posed of in Topeka.

HIT BY A BEER WAGON.
4. NJ. Russell Is Fatally In
iured Today.

Mr.. A. NJ. Russell. a pension attorney,
who has an office with Pot Coney. was
probably fatally injured in an accident
which occurred at the corner of Fifth
and Quincy streets this morning at
O. clock.
Mr.. Russell was. riding a bicycle and
just as he passed the corner spoke to De-
tective Gardiner, who was driving by in a
buggy. Moeser's beer wagon, driven by
c. F. Iverson, rounded the corner and
struck him. The driver attempted to pull
up his team, but only succeeded in check
heavy wagon tongue enough to strike Mr..
Russell in the head. knocking him from
the wheel and rendering him unconscious.
When Mr.. Russell was carried into the
office of the Fifth Avenue hotel q large
wound was found on the back of his head.
DIR. H b. Hogeboom was called and af-
ter hasty examination decided that the
skull was fractured and sent the injured
man to Stormont hospital in an an1bu-
lance. By the time he reached the hos
pital he was beginning to regain con-
seriousness, but was unable to speak.
Mr.. Russell is SO years of age and lives
at 907 East Eighth avenue.

Police Abuses.

The rebuke administered by Mime

holding persons arrested at police sta
lions without alleging any particular Of
Tense against them, and without permit
ting them to communicate with reIa-
tives or friends. is well deserved. The
practice has become very general in the
large cities of this country. but it car
ries with it so serious an infringement
upon the rights of the public that it
ought TO be either absolutely prohibited
or severely curtailed. 1t is necessary, of
course, frequently for proper police pro-
lection to run in suspects and dangerous
characters without proof of absolute
guilt against them. Frequently the
crooks that come to a town can be con-
trolled only in this way, and the ounce
of prevention will save the public from
very serious loss. There is never any
possible excuse, however. as far as one
can see, for refusing to permit person
thus held to communicate freely with
relatives or friends. If he is, as suspect
ed. a mere vagrant or a criminal, this
