GO TO ST. LOUIS.
Governor BaiIey's Proclamation for
September 80.

September 30 will be Kansas day at
the Worlds fair. Kansas will entertain
everybody on that date and Kansas
spellbinders will tell the rest of the
world a few things about the Sunfower
State.
For that reason Governor Bailey to-
day issued a proclamation asking as
many Kansas people as possible to at
tend the fair along about that time. The
proclamation is as follows:
THE great exposition concentrating
the peaceful acquisition by the United
States of the territory known as the
Louisiana Purchase is now in progress
at St. Louis.
THE manner in which this vast do
main became part of our country
makes it one of the most important
events in history; the celebration of
which, after the record of a century has
heen made, is cOmmendabl BILE and appro-
question the greatest exhibition of hui
man achievement the world has ever
seen.
Kansas is part of the territory ac-
quired by the Louisiana Purchase and
OF all the states formed from this ter
ritory, none exceed her in things al
ready accomplished or in the splendid
possibilities of the future. Therefore,
the people of Kansas have more than
usual interest in the benefits that are to
come as a result of this enterprise.
THE management has set apart the
week of September 26 as Kansas week
at the Worlds fair and September 80
has been designated as kansas Day.
and it is the most earnest desire of the
Chief Executive and the Kansas Com
mission that as many loyal citizens of
our state as possible arrange to attend
the Fair at that time and by their pres
ence and influence honor the day and
the occasion.
In testimony whereof, 1 have here
RI ha nd fn no n r
fixed the Great Seal of the State. Done
at Topeka this 18th day of September,
1904.

DENVER RATES.
Subject of Inquiry by Interstate Conn
merce Commission.

Denver. Colo, September 13.-In-
terstate commerce commissioner
Charles A. Prouty today continued the
investigation begun yesterday of com
plants of alleged discrimination in
freight rates by the railroads against
this city. Evidence was submitted by
local manufacturers and merchants in
support of their contention that rates
on some commodities from Atlantic
coast points are higher to Denver than
river cities are granted lower rates
than Denver to interior Colorado
points.
The following railroad officials were
in attendance at the hearing today:
VIM. r. Kelly, general attorney of the
Union Pacific; J. A. Monroe, freight
traffic manager of the Union Pacific;
j. E. Kelby, assistant general attorney
of the Burlington, and d. o. Ives,
general freight agent of the Burling-
ton, all from Omaha; George H. Cros-
by, assistant general traffic manager
of the Burlington system; Chicago, and
P. F. Dunno, general attorney of the
Southern Pacific, San Francisco. Mr..
Dunno conducted the examination of
witnesses.
Under examination, Traffic Manager
Monroe of the Union Pacific explained
that Missouri river points were es-
pecially favored, because that section
was the great distributing point east
sarily make a rate basis at these cities
that Denver had a contributory terri
tory of 100 miles to the east but that
lack of population kept the jobbers
and manufacturers from selling all
their product.

ter table and running as nearly as pos
sible at right angles to the direction OF
the underf1oW. In the bottom lands of
the Arkansas valley Mr.. Slichter says:
THE investigation shows that water
can be pumped so cheaply that an in
filtration gallery designed to provide
water for such lands would be imprac-
ticable. At a point near Lakin and
Hartland there is found the mouth of
the disappearing stream known as
Bear creek. This is perennial stream
that disappears as soon as it reaches the
sand hills, five to ten mics south of the
channel of the Arkansas"
Mr.. Slichter measured the underf1ow
in the dry FLOOD channel of Bear
creek and found that the motion is
across the channel of the creek, but
down stream, with reference to the Ar
kansas valley, following the usual d.
rection of the water of the Arkansas
underflow.
In discussing the possibilities of irri-
cation through the use of the under
ground supply it is pointed out that
the system is more complicated and ex-
pensive than the common practice of
using the perennial flow of surface
streams. The appropriation of the flow
of the rivers by the mountain stations
has left the settlers along the valleys of
the great plains entirely dependent
upon the underground waters for irri-
cation.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
| important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
MY little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
being so weak he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Colo
RADIO mother.
81 decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die
when 1 reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts, and although
had never used the food we got
some, and for a few days gave him
He got stronger so quickly we We're
soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts
itself and in wonderfully short time
he fattened right up and became
strong and well.
'sThat showed me something worth
knowing, and when later on my girl
came / raised her on Grape-Nuts, and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong,
chubby youn gSter the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food
contains the elements nature demands
from which to make the soft gray
filing in the nerve centers and brain.
A welI-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

famous little book, THE Road to

ROCK IN THE SEWER.
This Will Make Lowman Hill Exten-
sion Rather Expensive.

Behring'S which are being made for
the proposed Lowman Hill sewer indi-
cate that plenty of rock will be encoun-
tered in the construction of the sewer.
This means increased expense.
The rock which has been located is
mostly on Lane street, north of Eighth.
Indications are that considerable rock
will be found near Christ hospital Ac-
cording to the levels which have been
taken, the rock come within four feet
of the surface in some places, and it
may be necessary to cut through the
rock to a depth of eight or ten feet.
The plans and specifications for the
Lowman Hill sewer will not be ready to
be submitted to the council until the
middle of October. None of the plats
have yet been made, and since the city
engineer was allowed extra help only to
finish up the Fifth ward sewer, he is
obliged to do the Sixth ward job with
only his regular assistants. After the
plats are made, the appraisers must
visit the whole territory.

THEY WON'T MIND HIM.
Mayor BergundthaFs Proclamation
Fails in Its Purpose.

Mayor Bergundthal may have to come
home from Indiana to make the people at
the city hall obey his proclamation calling
for cessation of business on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, on
account of the state fair. This proclama-
ton says, among other things:
The offices and departments of the city
will be closed on the afternoons of each of
these days.
The chances are that most of the offices
will not entirely go out of business on the
afternoons mentioned. The street COM
missioner's force, which is the big end of
the city employees, will work right along
as usual, except that any one who wants
to can take one afternoon off.
I'VE haven't time to shut down for
three afternoons" said Street Commits
sioner Snyder I'VE are back in our work
already on account of the heavy grading
for sidewalks we have had to do. We may
shut down for one afternoon, but we cant
for three. l viii let the men decide which
afternoon they want, and then anybody
who wants to quit on that day can quit.
If we have enough men left to run our
gangs we will keep right on work, other
wise we will suspend work entirely for
the half day"

RUSHING THE REFINERY.
About 1000 Men Are Now Employed
at kansas City.

Kansas City. Sept. 1S.-About 1000
men are working day and night at
Sugar Creek. They hope to get the
million dollar refinery that the
Standard Oil company is building
there ready to receive the crude oil
from the Kansas oil fields by the time
that the main pipe line to Humboldt
is completed. Already fifty-fiVe of the
big steel storage tanks have been COM
pleted and rapid progress is being
made on a dozen of the big receiving
tanks Each of these receiving tanks
will hold 800 barrels of crude oil.
At the foot of the bluff where the
receiving tanks are being built runs
the tracks of the Sugar Creek & May
wood railway company, an extension
of the old independence Air line, built
from a connection near Paramount
park. Here are being constructed
long lines of filling racks for use in
loading the products of the refinery.
A little nearer the Missouri river
stands the big mechanical shops.
These shops are completed and al
ready give employment to 200 men.

the space between the line of still
houses and the big area occupied by

to replace the box car that has been
doing duty as a depot since work be-

SNAPSHOTS Ar HOMENEWs'

Now. these are the laws of all ciubdom,
The laws of the club and the town.
And who shall keep them are respected,
And who shall defy must go down.
Your tailor. your butcher and grocer
You may owe-and your man and your
maid
But card debts, and all debts of honor,
On the day they are due must be paid.
You may make a man drunk at your
table
Then best him at business or cards,
But dope you shall not slyly give him
Leave that for the tough and his pards.
The fiat and the poolroom and dance hall
You may go to whenever you will,
But call not at all on the shabby,
Or the great world will rate you as nil.

And the laws of the man-about-town.
And he who shall keep them shall prosper
And he who defies them shall go down.

YACHTS ARE
BECALMED

The ocean yacht race to Lahaina has
ended in a MINDLESS fizzle. Last night
the Lurine, the visiting yacht of Cap
tain Sinclair, was towed into port by
Young Brothers launch Waterwitch
and safely anchored in naval row.
Clarence Macfarlanes yacht La Pa
Iona is somewhere off port, reported as
wanting a friendly hawser to bring
her into the harbor.
1t is supposed that Thos. w. Hob
rons yacht Gladys has reached Laha-
ina, but probably through the aid of
steamer.
Vice Commodore Picker, who went
out on the Lurine as the guest of
Captain Sinclair, came ashore in a
boat yesterday evening to engage the
Waterwitch for towing the Lurline to
port. The visitor had been becalmed
for twenty-four hours off this port.
Young Brothers picked the vessel up
two miles OFF to the southwark. A short
distance off the harbor the towline
broke, but the Lurline was finally
brought in all right.
Vice Commodore Picker reports the
Lurline as having left Molokai at 4
p. m. yesterday. La Paloma was
close inshore then, seemingly having
light breeze. Nothing was seen of the
Gladys all day.
