Santa Fe Offers Diversified Route tc

The Santa Fe officials claim that the
officers of the G. A. r. have misunder-
stood the intentions of that road con-
corning the official route of the veterans
to the national encampment at San
Francisco
I'VE offer diversified route, such as
the old soldiers want" says General
Passenger Agent w. ]. Black Our
circular announcing the G. A r. ex-
cursion states that Rates are quoted
for the regular direct routes with priv
ilege of going one way and returning
another The Santa Fe is able to offer
an especially desirable trip via a di-
versified route
The railroads all have agreed on a
general plan for selling G.. A. r. tickets.
and the Santa F'e adheres to this plan.
The round trip rate to San Francisco
offered by the Santa Fe gives the pas
sengers the same accommodations as
the highest class tourist travel If the
passenger desires to return by way of

New School in ParkdHIe Will
Cost SI3,38O.

The school board held the reg
ular monthly meeting at the high
school last night. The subject of i'm
portanct before the board was that OF
the necessity of increasing the capacity
of the schools on the south side of the
river
1t was stated that the list of school
children to enter the schools on the
south side of the river next fall has
been greatly increased as the result
OF the influx OF people from North To-
peka. The board believes that many
of the people who We're driven to this
side of the river by the recent flood
Will not be able to return to their
homes at once and that the school pop-,
ulation on the south side will be In
creased. This together with the limit
ed financial condition of the board
formed proposition which is puzzling
to the extreme. The members of the
board think, however, that the puzzle
can be solved and that they Will have
the situation well in hand by the time
the next school term begins. In fact
the board took some steps last night
towards relieving the crowded con-
d1tion of the schools
w. H Wilson, chairman of the build-
ing committee called attention to the
suggestion made by DR.. c NJ. Sheldon
for an addition to Buchanan school for
manual training department and f.
nally ended by starting a movement
to complete the four unfinished roomA
at the I-owman Hill school, The mat
ter was referred to the building cOm-
mittee and laid over until the next
meeting. Then Mr. Wilson said the
work should be done now and that il
the rooms were to be completed by the
beginning of the fall term of school the.
matter had to be decided immediately
Edward Wilder was of the same opin-.
ion and then the matter was taken up
in the form of a motion and was voted
upon. The vote stood to 2 in favor of
the rooms being completed. The two
members voting mo" were Mr.. Gleed
and Mr. Bonebrake. They said that the
financial condition Of the board was
not good enough to warrant the speud-
ing of several hundred dollars on the
completion of four school rooms which
were not positively necessary. p
Bids on the new Parkdale school
house were opened. Three firms made
bids. These were f. M Spencer, Lunz
green and Carson and D. p Scott
Spencer's bid was $17,s27 to completes
the building according to Architect
Hollands plans. Lungreen and Carson
offered to complete the building ac-
cording to the original plans for $4,000
and if certain changes were made fok
$l3,3SO ID. p. Scott offered to complete
the building according to the original
plans for $17,T91. The original estimate
of tie cost of the building was Si4,Oq0
and as Lungreen and Carson's bid was
nearer this than any of the others Il
was the one accepted. The board
agreed to use vitrified brick in the con-
struction of the new building

of some sort of life saving service in the
interior portions of our country. Posi-
bly, he is not aware that there are such
stations where they are supposed to be
needed, as at the Ohio falls near Louis
vile, KY. No doubt that others would
be established if frequent danger should
seem to warrant. All these life saving
stations whether on the sea coast, on the
lakes, or on our dangerous rivers are
under the superintendent of the writer
of the above letter. The modesty of the
writer may be appreciated when it is
remembered that for years he has been
brought into almost daily contact, in
knowledge at least, of horrors by water
far exceeding those of our recent Kan
sas flood. 1t would seem that by proper
effort the government might be induced
to furnish some means of ready relief
for those sections of the country that
are subject to almost periodic over
flows of which it may be fairly said
that North Topeka is not one. Such a
visitation as we have recently had is not
likely to occur again in a century and
probably never.

ESTELLE ON TRIAL.
Kansas Criminal Is Up for
Train Robbery.

LeavenwOrth. Kan, July 7-E. F.
Estelle, a Kansas criminal, whose rec
ord Of crimes and daring deeds is
known to every officer in the United
States, is on trial for his life in Savan-
ma, ILL.,, this week. Estelle is charged
this time with murder and train rob-
berry. A band of robbers held up a Bur-
Hngton train near Marcus, Ill, last De-
cember, and killed the express messen-
ger. A few weeks later Estelle and two
pals were arrested by Pinkertons in
Memphis, Tenn, just as they were pre-
pairing to carry out plans for the rob-
berry of a train. Estelle's identity did
not become known for several days aft
er his arrest in Memphis, and then it
dawned upon the Pinkertons what an
important capture they had really
made.
There was an outstanding reward of
$1,000 for Estelle's capture, dead or
alive He was active in planning and
executing the plot which resulted in the
escape of three tconVictS from the Kan
SaS penitentiary on the afternoon of
November IS, 1900. One of the three,
Samuel Smith, train robber and muir
derer, was killed, but Estelle and Ben
jamin Cravens, another desperate man.
eluded their pursuers.
Estelle, Cravens and Smith captured
a. Huyske. the bottom officer of the
penitentiary coal shaft by presenting
two dummy revolvers at his head and
demanding his surrender. The revolvers
were ten inches long, made of wood and
wrapped in tinfOil to make them re-
semble real weapons. The dummies had
black handles and revolving cylinders
and parts of the wood looked ike pol
ished steel.
The convicts tied Huyske's hands with
wire and signaled the engineer to hoist
them to the top. At the top the dummy
reVolvers were flashed in the face of w.
Fl. Douglas, another guard, and he, too.
surrendered. Neither the mine nor the
top officers carried weapons, so resist
ance would have been of no avail The
captured guards were forced to march
in front of the convicts to gate lead
ing out of the main yard. The gate was
opened by tower guard, who suspect
ed nothing. Once outside. the convicts
bounced upon NJ H. Hewitt, an out
post guard, and took away his Win
chester and pistol and ammunition belt
They then started on a run.
Other outpost guards shot after the
convicts. and Deputy Warden Thomp-
son and others in the main buildings
heard the shots and joined in the chase.
Thompson is believed to be the man that
killed Convict Smith. During the night
following Estelle and Cravens escaped

FRUITS ARE SCARCE.
Topeka Housewives Find Home
Made Preserves Expensive.

This is the season when Topeka wo-
men begin to scream about the price of
fruit There is nearly always some crop
of fruit which is a partial failure and
prices are CORRESPONDENCE high and
this is sufficient to give housekeepers
panic. This year the prices of all the
small fruit are a third higher than at
the same time last summer, owing to
the damage done by the last frosts in
this locality, and, to some extent, by
the floods.
Any time you approach a bunch of
women sufficiently old-fashioned to take
an interest in plain houSekeeping with
out any domestic science, health food
fads, you can hear one of them exclaim-
Ing; DO you think 1 am going to pay
$3.50 crate for blackberries to put up?"
But that is what the best berries in the
local market were selling for yesterday
Ioday's prices quote blackberries at
S225 and dewberries the same, but the
dealers say they will be higher in a day
or two. Red raspberries which are now
IN season, sell at $3.50 a crate and the
Colorado berries, which have been on
the market for little over week. are
selling at 50 rs
Even at these prices it is much cheap

pest products of the canning factories.

usual prices of fruit and sugar a quart

housekeepers know that canned goods
are among the most expensive items of
the grocers bill and there is an axiom
