HE SUES THE. RAILROAD.
Charles Young Claims Water Was
Drained Onto His Land.

Suit was filed in the district court
Tuesday afternoon by Charles Young
against the Union Pacific e., railroad
company for $4,000 damages for hav-
ing the railroad embankment cut in
1903 to allow flood waters to drain
through the grade onto Young's land.
The water which caused the trouble
was the overflow from Soldier creek,
and the railroad grade acted as a
dam. When the grade was cut the
water rushed through, inundated
Young's farm, ruined his crops and
household goods and caused great
damage. The railroad grade served
as an excellent levee until the opening
WAS made.

NO CIDER AND DoUGHNUTs.
Washburn Faculty Draws the Line
Decisively.

No cider and doughnuts go at Wash
burn. The faculty has disbarred them.
The political meeting next Friday night
will be dry"
Capt. Philips of the Republican coun-
ty central committee has been helping
the Washburn Republican club get up
a political rally at the Washburn chapel
He assigned Judge A. W. Dana and
Judge J. S. West to go out there Friday
night, and the club selected c. D. Cum
bingham as it's representative speaker.
AS a special treat Capt. Philips offered
to send out a barrel of cider and a few
bushels of doughnuts, and the Republi-
can club accepted with great enthus
iasm. Their meeting, with a feed" of
this kind on the side, would be the big
gest drawing card of the year.
Then the faculty got wind of what
was going to happen. A conference was
hastily called and the officers of the
Republican club were notified that the
cider and doughnuts must be omitted
from the programme.
1t is up to Chairman Philips to come
to the rescue and provide crackers and
milk.

PLANS FOR PEACE.
Must Be Avoided at Peace Conference
Germany Thinks.

Berlin Oct 26-While the United States
note inviting a second peace conference
at The Hague for the purpose of broad
ening and strengthening the original con-
vention has not yet been received by the
German government, the foreign office
again emphasizes to the Associated Press
Germany'S wish for another conference.
This however must avoid plans for uni
versa1 peace and aim solely at practicable
reforms. While the conference can not
have any direct effect upon the Russo
Japanese war since neither side wishes
outside interference, still questions of in
ternational law have arisen in connection
with this war which demand a settlement
and it lies to the interest of the worlds
peace. to reach international agree
ment ON such questions and get as many
nations possible to subscribe to its

Secure your seats early. for the
Campanari concert in the Auditorium
November 4. This is the first enter
tainment of a splendid season ar
ranged by the Pipe Organ association.
The association has been fortunate in
securing four stars to appear in the
opening concert; and they depend
upon a hearty response from the peo-
pie of this city to their efforts in Sc
curing the greatest and best pipe organ
for Topeka that will be found west of
the Mississippi river. 1t was supposed
at the time this contract was let that
Kansas City alone would excel Topeka
in this respect 1t was understood that
the great Worlds fair organ at st.
Louis was to be placed in Convention
hall at Kansas City, but that arrange
ment has fallen through; so that Kan
sas City people, if they wish to hear
an up-to-date pipe organ, will be COM
PEELED to come to Topeka. While we
are Boosting about this organ-and we
have just cause to do so-let US not
hear it said that we are in debt for. it.
If these concerts receive the support
they should, the end of the season will
show the organ paid for, without

The driIlers who are boring for oil

a two foot vein of graphite Monday
which may prove a valuable find.
w. f. Schoch has a sample of the
graphite and will have it examined by
experts to determine its value. The
graphite is black and greasy and if it
is a good deposit may be quite as good
as oil OF gas.

BATHING At osTEnD.
The Contrast Between Belgian an.
American Dench Customs.

The Contrast Retween Belgian and
American beach Customs.
How differently from ourselves Eu-
the marked contrast between the bath
ing customs and methods at the typical
American beach and those at leading
seaside resort abroad, such, for in
stance, at Ostend, Belgium. The Amer
lean way is too familiar to our readers
to need description. At Ostend bath
ing, which is the most striking thing
about the city, is carried on in ac-
cordance with continental ideas of pro-
priety most shocking to the average
American. Instead of the ordinary
dressing rooms, Ostend was the first
place to use the little individual houses
on wheels, into which the intending
bather goes to disrobe and don his or
her bathing suit. The house is then
wheeled out in the water by horse
driven by man employed for that
purpose. The steps are let down from
the little house, and the bather enters
the water without having to prone
nade over the sand. At the end of the
bath the bather mounts the steps into
his little house and, calling the driver
again, has his dressing room hauled up
high and dry on the shore, where, hav-
ing dressed Mt his leisure, he leaves
the key with an attendant and goes on
his way. The bathing costumes seen
at Ostend are noted for their scanti-
ness, the striking popularity of which,
however, lies In the fact that the suits
worn by the women rarely, If ever,
have any skirts attached to them, ev-
erybody-men, women and children
alike-wearing tight fitting suits, the
suits furnished by most of the public
bath houses being identicaily the saHes
Tor both men ana women. sSi-i ssii--
The scene on the beach ts sasv ,e
great animation, and when the bathers
engage, as they frequently do, in a
game resembling basket ball, played
with large inflated rubber ball, the
mingling Of varicolored bathing suits
and the darting hither and thither of
the bathers at play, now on the beach
and again in the water, is sight new

All the good sermons do not come
from the pulpit. Very often they
come from the bench, and one of
the best that has emanated from
this source recently was delivered
last week by Judge w. III. McHenry,
Of Des Moines. The prisoner be-
fore him was charged with inebriacy.
He was young, and out Of pure pity
the court asked him if he would
strive to mend his ways if sentence
was suspended. The lad smiled
and madea a aippant answer, where
upon the court, in passing iudg-
ment, delivered the following four
column sermon punched up into
a few lines: "God Almighty Him
self can't do anything for you if
you won'thelp yourself. If a mans
bound to so to the devil, he'll go,
and it's a question with me if it
isn't better to let him go as fast as
he can, for the sooner the world is

ENGINE TRANCE.
A Sort of Temporary Paralysis That
T. Sometimes A6ects Track Men,


Sometimes Affects Track Men.
'4The numerous fatal accidents report
ed in the newspapers to rail layers that
occur every year on the various rail-
road systems throughout the country
are not in every case due, as is gen.
orally supposed by the public, to neg
ligence or carelessness on the part of
the workers themselves" said New
York physician and surgeon employed
by the New York Central railroad.
'The fact is, the hearing Of these
men in time becomes affected owing
to the constant STOPPING position which
they are obliged to assume in laying
the rails putting the bolts in, etc., and
that renders them often oblivious to
approaching trains, Notwithstanding
the fact that they work in gangs and
have lookout men near at hand. An
other fact which Is accountable in
many instances for fatal accidents to
rail layers Is what Is known among
the men themselves as engine trance
This l might describe more clearly as
a temporary sort of paralysis which af-
fects simultaneously both the mind
and body. The stroke lasts only
few seconds, but those few seconds
mean life or death when fast train is
approaching.
"a rail layer who may be in perfect
physical condition is not proof against
the powerful fascination as he gazes
along the rails and sees an. engine
with its row of cars coming toward
him at express speed. Although he has
been warned by the lookout and the
shouts of his fellows Of the approach
ing danger. he will pay no heed, but
stand spsllbound for an instant. And
that instant's delay is generally fatal,
or, If not, it results in the amputation
Of a leg.
"There are few rail layers who have
not, they will tell you, experienced this
peculiar trance at one time or another
during their careers on the track. AMI
mails are also subject to engine trance
particularly dogs and cats, and that no
doubt accounts to some extent for the
large number Of them as well as other
animals that are killed on the railroad =

growth of the tree continues at the
uniform rate Of l inch in diameter
each year. and catalpa trees at
eighteen years old often reach as
high as 100 feet, thus yielding a
large return Of splendid lumber.
Among the large railroad systems
to recognize the Importance of tree
planting in order to guarantee a
supply of ties for the future is the
Illinois Central. At a point near
De Quoin, Illinois. 100000 cat
alpa trees were planted three
years ago, when President Stuyves-
ant Fish became interested in the
work of the Arboriculture society.
These trees are thriving now, and
in few years, when the thinning
out process begins, many of the ties
in the Illinois Central railroad will
be cut from this forest created in
the heart of the vast Illinois prairie.
The same road is planting similar
forests in Mississippi, and contem-
plates the establishment Of others.

Erastus Wiman, once called "the
king of Staten island, is now a
hopeless paralytic, nearly 40 years
old and poverty stricken. Formerly
he was promoter of great schemes,
with such an influential backer as
the late Robert Garrett, president of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Mr.. Wiman little over ten years
ago was in receipt of an income of
nearly 100000 year and was in
terested with Mr.. Garrett in making
Staten island a great terminus for
the Baltimore and Ohio road. The
schemes might have succeeded had
Mr. Garrett lived, but his death
caused Mr.. Wiman's bankruptcy.
Last week the sale Of the latter's
household effect was completed. The
proceeds from the sale amounted to
only $1,000.

Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme coult is from Kansas.
A short time ago he went back to
his home state and took Mrs. Brew
er with him. Mrs. Brewer is from
the east and had never been in the
west. After they crossed the Miss
issippi river people who knew the
justice called him Judge. Mrs.
Brewer gasped, being accustomed
to the more dignified title of
Justice. When they got to
Leavenworth she was still more
surprised to find that everybody
hailed the justice as Dave. She
rebelled at first, but finally thought
the plan a good one and now she
calls him Dave" herself.
