In speaking of the real situation in the

dent of the Atchison. says that an in

manned about the same. Speaking in a
general way, if the rates on the Atchi-
SON during the last year had kept pace
with the mileage increase and had been
proportional to the cost of equipment
and maintenance, the AtchisOn would
nave shown more earnings by several
nlillon dollars. The territory along the
Atchison in the west and southwest was
never in as prosperous condition as it
is today, and there is no use of freight

THE DOME.

Now the legislature is over for fair,
let us forget it. Not that it was bad,
or disreputable, for it was not, but it
mechanics win have to keep right on
striving for their daily bread, ana the
politicians for their daily pie, but in
manner calling for less exertion.
At the closing it is always customary
to celebrate the occasion by giving away
things Sometimes state secrets are
given away. Motions to give away
things were in order last night In the
senate one Allen of Doniphan presented
resolution to give the door keepers
the doors, the superintendent of venti-
lation the windows and Ventilators, and
the clerks ana other employees anything
they could tear out of the debris. The
edusion wound up with this:
Be it further resolved. that on ac-
count of the efficient work of our most
excellent secretary, Hon. c. NJ. Sheldon,
that the dome of the capitol is here pre-
sented TO him and it is the wish and
desire of this legislature that he remove
the same at once and take it to his place
of abode. there to be placed as a monu-
ment for the services rendered to Kan
sas and her people.
This resolution, idiotic as it is and
which was only meant for joke act
ually passed that august body of sena-
tors, and was in the act of being put
on the records when a reported swiped
the document and saved the state the
trouble of building a new state house.
If you have good imagination, just
put 1t to work on this. Picture, If you
can, that noble edifiee. the state cap
itol, after the employees of the senate
had been turned loose on it. Some Of
them have expressed great admiration
for the pillars which support the por-
ticc. A few of them who worked in a
wheat country before they got their
present jobs, would take kindly to the
elevators. OF course Sheldon would
remove the dome. Those interested in
agriculture would take the windows to
construct hot houses. Perhaps one of
the gang might have a morbid curios1-
ty to see how the east wing was con-
structed and tear down the whole
works in an effort to secure the orig
inal corner stone Tor a watch charm.
Some of the bunch. who live in sod
mansions on the plains. would be sure
to need some of the steps. The light
ing fixtures could be sold to good ad-
vantage and the wires used for pas
ture fence. After it was all over and
nothing portable, breakable or burn
able was left, what would the state
house look Hke2 What would fair Kan
sas think of her domicile after TAX
ing?"

are extending the sad hand of parting.

through the week The child has held
meetings in % states, and spent several
months in Canada. He says he felt
callde to peach at two and half years,
and at the age of four act
ually began. So the child has been on
the platform for FIVE years. Before
starting on his public career, he was
wont TO preach to his dolls and bapti2e
them Lonnie has never been TO school,
but his mother says that when he was
six years old he was able TO read and
can now read and write as we as any
body.
Lonnle is clad In white frock dress
and walks about the platform like an
experienced preacher and his style Of
address and manner Of speech Is a SIN
guar combination Of the childish and
the mature. Last evening the child

the three Hebrew children to bow down
before the image set up by Nebuchad-
