THE 81 FEE IS ABOLISHED.
Santa Fe Removes Restrictions on
Worlds Fair Tickets

w. ]. Black, general passenger
agent for the Santa F7e, announced to-
day that his road has decided to
abolish the rule which has heretofore
provided for a payment of 81 for stop
over privileges at Kansas City on
worlds far tickets to st. Louis.
Heretofore" said Mr.. Black, 1--WE
have required that holders of worlds
fair tickets wishing to stop over in
Kansas City shall deposit their tickets
with the joint agent at that point.
Then when they wish to resume their
journey they can procure the same by
the payment of 81. This custom.
however, has its drawbacks and we
have decided to dispense with it. A
great many objections have been
raised by the travelling public-so
many in fact that other roads are do
ing away with the custom at both
Kansas City and Chicago. Herea fter
those holding worlds fair tickets to
St. Louis via the Santa Fe to Kansas
City and wishing to stop over at the
latter point, may do SO free of charge
They viii be required, however. to
deposit their ticket with the joint
agent as they have done heretofore. .

Republicans Engaged in Bitter Fight
on the Governorship.

St. Paul, June 30.-Bolts in seven
counties. including Ramsey and Henne-
pin. and threatened violence by men
armed with rifles at Warroad, marked
the bitter fight among Republicans over
the gubernatorial nomination which
was waged Wednesday in county eau
cuses. Robert @. Dunn claims to have
a lead Of 100 delegates in the state con-
vention, but this estimate is disputed
by Judge Loren c. Collins, whose fol-
lowers will control the state central
committee and pass upon contests.
In st. Paul and Minneapolis the Dunn
men bolted after a report of the Gre
dentials committees favorable to Col
Inns delegates w. J. Donahower and
E. T. Young are rivals for the attorney
generalship, the only other office on
which there is a contest.

MTLHTTE WANTS A GAME.
Would Bring His A. L. T. Team Here
to Play With Leaguers.

Nit White, general manager of ev-
eEything and the baseball team at En-
portas was in the city this morning and
called on Secretary Logan of the To-
peka Baseball association, asking for
an exhibition game to be played in To-
pesza on next Wednesday, July Z be-
tween the Saints and the Emporia
semi professional team. All Nit asks
Tor is the expense money for his crowd.
I want the boys to have a little trip
and some fun he said. It will also
mean a baseball game, for White has
collected a strong lot of tossers and Ia
beled them Emporia, a Live Town. -
There are 3. few weak places on the
team. White plays first base. That
IS one.
Secretary Logan looked kindly on the
Emporia genius idea, but for one rea-
son, namely, that an attempt is being
made to bring Leavenworth here on
that day to play Off a rainy date Meth
er team has regular scheduled contest
on July Z, and it was thought best to
take time by the forelock and get rid
OF all the owed games as early in the
season as possible. Topeka owes Leav-
enworth two, and Leavenworth owes
Topeka one.
The matter will be definitely settled
before the end of the week. so as to
give White a. chance to work up some
excursions to Topeka from his native
heath.
Incidentally it might be mentioned
that Nit is nursing a very sore mid
die finger on his right hand, a relic of
his gyrations around the initial sack
when the Emporia and Topeka Elks
We're trying to do each other on Wash
burn field three weeks ago. WiIhite
stuck out his right hand at a slow
grOunder. He tried to point his finger
at the sphere, and the tip end of it
was paralyzed by the collision. A doc
tor Ianced the finger yesterday and
raised the nail so as to let out the
coagulated blood But Nit has played
in six games since that time. The only
time he growls about the injury is
when some one shakes his hand and
gives too much free MASSAGE.

DYKES TO SAVE FARMS.
Thomas Page and Jonathan Thomas
Protecting Their Places.

Samuel Dolman, the grading con
tractor, is at work building dykes on
the farms in the Soldier creek bottoms
west of town owned by Thomas Page
and Jonathan Thomas.
Every time Soldier creek gets on a
tear it floods the Page and Thomas
farms. This began to get a little mo-
notonous. 1t cost money to have
crops washed out nearly every year.
So the owners of the land decided to
have dykes constructed.
The dykes are high enough to keep
out the water even if it should go to
as high a point as it reached during
the flood. The building of the dykes
involves a good deal of labor and ex-
pense. But it viii add greatly to the
value of the. rich bottom farms.

Des Moines, June 20. = The average
temperature of the week was slight
ly below normal, but there was suf-
ficient warmth to promote the healthy
growth of all crops. The only material
drawback was excessive rainfall in
about two-fifths of the state, the heavi-
est amounts being reported from sta
tons in the north central. district, and
in the northern counties of the central
district. IN the larger part of the
state the showers were timely and ben
eficial. Except in localities visited by
excessive rains good progress has
been made in cultivation of corn, and
the crop is generally making satisfac-
tory growth. AS whole the condition
of corn is materially better than at the
corresponding date last year and in
1902.
The pastures. potatoes and garden
vegetables are making excellent
growth. Reports indicate extra good
Yell of cherries and strawberries.
Early potatoes are being used and sold
in the markets. There are but few re.
ports of apples dropping and the con.
dition of that staple fruit crop is still
promising. The condition of oats
wheat and barley is quite variable, the
best prospects being indicated in early
seeded and well drained fields.
