Farmers Are Interested.

The farmers Of Auburn township nave
again taken up the proposition OF secur-
ing an electric railway to Topeka which
was agitated a year ago without result.
At Wednesday evenings meeting or the
Topeka Commercial club Frank M.
Stahl and F. Stout of Auburn VIII be
present and will discuss the matter with
the members of the club. It is not
known whether the Auburn farmers nave
a definite proposition to make 10 an
electric railway promotion company, but
it was clearly evidenced last year that
there would be little or no difficulty
about the voting of bonds or the secul :
ing of liberal individual subscriptions to
secure a line 1t is unlikely that the
Auburn proposition can be taken up III
connection with the proposed Manhat-
tan-Topel1a line, as the latter Is intend
ed to follow the kansas river on the
north side

THEY DON'T WANT 1T.
Proposed Interurban Railway objects
to Mr. Myers Plan.

L. S. Dolnan, one of the promoters of
the Topeka Manhattan electric line,
says that his road will not make the
agreement with the city railway as was
proposed by L. e. Myers to the streets
and walks committee of the city coun-
ell Friday, as reported in the Friday
issue of the State journal
What have we to gain by such an
agreement" asked Mr. Dolman this
morning. Everything which Mr. Myers
offers is given to us by the city rail-
way franchise. The only thing he offers
which we could not get from the CITY
railway without his consent is the con-
struction of a little piece OF road to
the city limits.
What is more important to US is
the fact that if we used the city rail-
way tracks, we would not be able to
haul in freight. nor reach the freight
depots in North Topeka. That is an
essential feature of our road.
1T is clear enough that the city rail-
way does not want us to build tracks
in North Topeka because it fears that
we will occupy some of the streets
which thew want to occupy sometime.
We don't care about building tracks
all over North Topeka, but we must
have our terminals.
aAs to crossing the river, that is
something for the future. We don't
want to cross now. Sometime we may
want to cross.
The traffic stipulations which are con-
tanned in the city railways 1ranchlse
are as follows:
1.-The city railway company shall per
NIT the cars of any interurban electric
railway to use its track or tracks from
any connecting point within said city
on the lines of its railway to any deslg-
mated terminal within the limits of the
CITY of Topeka, for the purpose OF car
rvine passengers and such commodities
as are usually carried on interurDali
electric cars, upon such conditions and
for such consideration as shall De
equitable, Just and reasonable, such
terms to be agreed upon by said the
Topeka RaiIWay company and such In
terurban line"
It appears from this section of the
franchise that the city has given the IN
terurban roads which use the city rail-
way tracks the right to haul In freigh.
as much as desired. In order to reach
the various freight depots. 1t woulG only
be necessary for the city railway to
build a few spur tracks. The city rail-
ways main line now reaches all the
passenger depots.
While the interurban line promoters
claim that to insure the success OF the
plan it will be necessary for them to nave
their own terminals il would certainly De
of great advantage to them to have the
CITY railway tracks to use wherever 1t de-
sires It would also be of advantage to
the system of transferring passengers
would be simplifed.
The city railway offers to pay the tram
| crew of the interurban line as long as
| the crew shall be travelling on the city
railway tracks.

PAVE KANSAS AVENUE.
Contract for the Work May Be
Let at Once.

Mayor Bergundthal stated today that if
the councilmen seemed to want the con-
tract for paving Kansas avenue from
Thirteenth to Euclid avenue to be let at
once he would withdraw his opposition,
provided that thereby the grading between
Fifteenth and Seventeenth could be done
without expense to the city.
The paving on lower Kansas avenue was
once allowed by the city council and the
bids received on its. construction. Owing
to the opposition of Mayor Bergundthal
it was decided to allow that portion from
Thirteenth and Euclid to lie over until
1904 However, since the city railway has
built its double track to grade. it is neces-
states some immediate excavating south
of Fifteenth to make the street safe for
vehicles.
Unless it can be arranged for this eN-
cavating to be done under the paving
contract the city will have 20 FAY for the
work If done under the contract it viii
come on the property owners, as it was
supposed to.
Mayor Bergundthal says that if he can
save the city some money by signing the
necessary contracts with the CONTRACTORS
he is willing to withdraw his fight on the
further extension of the pavement.

THEY MUST PAY IT.
Topeka Capital Company Stockhold
ers Held for Paper Bill.

The stockholders of the old Topeka Cap
ital company Will have to pay the Rem
ington Paper company the seven or eight
thousand dollars which the Capital COM
pany owes for paper. This decision Was
made today by the supreme court in the
case of R. L. Thomas against the Rem
ington Paper company.
The Remington company first sued the
got judgment against it, but nothing could
be collected on the judgment. Then suit
was begun against Mr. Thomas, Dell Kei-
ger, ]. K. Hudson, T. w. Harrison, Ar
thur Capper, Cyrus Leland, Harold Chase
and others. These cases have been in lit
igation for several years and some of
them have been in the supreme court a
time or two. The Thomas suit was made
a test case in the supreme court for final
decision and the court holds that the
stockholders will have to pay the judg-
ment. The question at issue was whether
a note given by Mr. keizer bound the
other stockholders.

HUNTOON ST. PROTEST
People Fear City Railway
Would Put Tracks There.

Alb. Quinton and DEW. S.Lindsay ap-
peared before the streets and walks
committee of the city council Friday
afternoon, and presented a written pro-
test against the use of Huntoon street
by the city railway.
What reason have you to believe. !"
asked Councilman Wolf. that the com
pany is planning to use Huntoon
street?"
"Only a sort of a rumor." said Mr.
Quinton. 1T has become generally be-
lieved that the company had abandoned
it's intention of building out Thirteenth
street, and will try to occupy Huntoon.
I don't know where this report origina-
ted. The people on Huntoon simply
want to get their protest in here in plen-
ty of time"
Are you expecting to build out Huntoon
street?'' asked Councilman Weber bldntly
of L. e Myers, manager of the city rail
way who was present.
Mr. Myers squirmed "a little. but replied
that the company had not decided where
it would build.
.tHave you abandoned your plan OF
building out Thirteenth" persisted Mr.
Weber.
why. gentlemen. we never had any
such plan" said Mr.. Myers IN grieved
sort of a voice. Thirteenth was Just one
of numerous other routes considered.

MARTlNDALE CASE UP.
Decision Is Expected at Leaven-
worth Monday

A settlement of the famous Martin
dale case Is expected in the United
States district court at Leavenworth
Monday when Judge Phillips will give
his opinion upon the motion to quash
the indictment found against William
-1dartindale by a federal grand jury
shortly after the Cross bank failure at
Emporia. The motion to quash was
presented to Judge Phillips last spring
while he was sitting at Topeka in the
place of Judge w. c. Hook. With 1t
was made motion for continuance
of the case which was granted.
Attorneys Hagerman of Kansas CITY
and Graves of Emporia based the motion
to Quash the Indictment against Martin
dale upon evidence tending to show his in
nocence and also upon affidavits to the
effect that l. E. Lambert had agreed .
do so before the expiration of his term
of office, but that his promise had mis-
carried of fulfllment. Lambert had gain
ed the consent of the department Of JUS
tice at Washington for the dismissal
Martindale's attorneys are confident
that Judge Phillips will sustain their mo-
ton and that the Martindale case Will be
taken out of court. Should this, not be
the case the trial will probably be held
during the latter part of this year.

The work of stereotyper on a mod

Gordon. the head stereotyper, was So
emaciated that he was reduced almost

but it is the truth. The magnlncenl

lives at No. 262 Wabash avenue, OAK
land, Topeka, Kansas, and the story OF
the wonderful change in his condition
is given in his own words. He says:
About year ago had great 0eai
of trouble with my stomach and what
ever 1 ate caused me the utmost dis
tress. Frequent vomiting robbed me OF
nourishment. My work is so severe
that only man in complete health can
stand it and, naturally with my weak

he unhesitatingly advised me to try

pie. l got a box and commenced TAX
ing them. The improvement was no.
ticeable from the first. I developed a
