OUTLOOK IN WEST GOOD.
Vice President Morton of Santa Fe
Tells of Extensive Trip.

New York, April 2.-Vice President
Paul Morton Of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe. who has just returned from
trip extending from the Pacific coast
to the Atlantic. today reviewed the re-
suit of his practical observations.
THE only reason" Mr.. Morton said
''why roads in the further west are not
showing large increases in net earnings
even in the face of increased expenses
is the lack of cars and motive power to
handle the traffic offered. The west was
never in a better condition and the
promise for crops in 1903 is now as geod
as .ossible
I'm 1901 and 1902 there was the very

of the foreign farmer immigrants of the
eighties has moved onward to the new
section, where the soil is virgin and the
climate the safest in the country for
raising crops and cattle"

ODELL'S THREAT.

Albany, N. Y. April 2-The most
sensational incident Of the legislative
session attended the passage in the as

liquor licenses in Manhattan cost 81 200
a year In Brooklyn the license will
cost $3.50. Throughout the state there
IS an increase Of SO per cent in the
Before the assembly convened Cover
nor Oden summoned sixteen Republi-
can assemblymen to the executive
chamber and threatened them with
criminal proceedings if they bolted the
bill
II want to say to you, said the gov
elnor emphaucally, that | know all
about what has been going on in re-
gard to this bill during the last few
makes it necessary l shall bring the
matter to the attention of the district
attorney of this county,
This threat explained the presence at
the state capitol of corps of special
detectives who were supposed to be
guarding the person of Governor OdelI.
Instead it developed that they had been
employed by the governor to spy on
certain assembiymen. In this connec-
ton it is reported thatN various mem
bers of the assembly were to get from
$4,000 to $500 each for voting against
the excise bill
The statement is also made that the
sixteen men summoned before the gov
ers that if they attempted to defeat the
bill a resolution for bribery investi-
cation would be introduced tomorrow.
The governors ultimatum had the
desired effect. The bill was passed by
a vote of 81 to 81.
The S15O.000 Doodle fund which the
saloonkeepers had raised was of no
avail to them. The sixteen of the
eighty-nine Republican members of the
assembly who were summoned to the
executive chamber were bluntly told by
Governor Odell that he knew all about
the agreement they had entered into to
defy the Republican caucus and to de-
feat the excise bill.
When the governor made this state
ment the assemblymen looked at one
another in blank surprise. 1t was true
they had signed such an agreement buc
they did not suppose their action was
known to anyone but the opponents OF
the hill.
4 merely want to say to you" the
governor added, that the excise bill
has been made party measure by the
action of the Republican caucus. It is
your duty as Republicans. therefore, to
abide by the decision of the caucus"

Falling Off

The revival meeting is to be brought
to a close next Sunday night The at
tendance has not been so good at the
meetings this week as they were dur

tons relating to the election were taken
from the question box. Mr.. Williams
was asked if he thought the fact that
eleven car loads of beer were unloaded
in Topeka this week had any bearing
on the election. Another question was
why does the Democratic candidate
for mayor favor the jointists and OPP
pose the school bonds?"

could l couldn't stay in bed long.

to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So

to any Of the others. Charlie was fret

teeth, didn't think much of that.

face l wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
