Once at Norton.

Norton, Nov. 1.-THE Norton light,
ice and cold storage company has been
incorporated, and the stockholders are
so enthusiastic that active work on
building the plant will commence at
once. The capital stock is $500 1t

and in operation before March, 1905.
The officers are: President, J. z.
Gleason; vice president and general
manager, D. F. Bruner; secretary and
treasurer. Guy L. Conklin, of Oberlin.
The promoters of. the enterprise are
prominent citizens and business men
of Norton and Oberlin. The Norton
men are D. F. Bruner, J. E. Gleason
and VIM. Duvall, and those from
Oberlin are Chas- Faucet, who will
be chief engineer, Guy L. Conklin and
John w. Lindsey. The main offices
will be in Norton. The capacity of the
ice plant for the present will be
twenty-five tons daily. The electric
light and cold storage plants will be
completed later in the year.
The people of Norton are glad they
can tally another enterprise for the
progressive and booming metropolis
of the Prairie Dog valley, the most
wonderful alfalfa growing section of
Kansas. Besides, Norton has gained
another top round in the ladder in
being so enterprising in securing this

The Electric Car Line for Spring

Paving OF the Main Streets of
the Town a Help.

Hutchinson, Nov. 15.-The News says:
People who should know and who are
interested in the growth of Hutchinson
say that the city will show a remark
able increase in population and bust
ness within the next year or so. Things
are coming this way and business pros
poets never were better. There is an
increase in the population every week
and every day and the growth is nat
ural. This increase means that the
business is also on the increase all the
time There are a good many more
business concerns here now than was
the case a year ago and others are on
the way. Hutchinson will expand in
the wholesale trade as it never has be-
fore and more kinds of business will
be represented here in a year or more.
1t is about certain that there will be
large wholesale dry goods concern here
before another year has passed and a
wholesale drug house is on the way.
With these added to the present whole
sale business of the city there will be
an added impetus to the jobbing trade
of this portion of the country.
Hutchinson is getting things that
should have been coming lSeT way
many years ago. Wichita formerly took
everything in sight and thousands of
dollars of good trade has gone through
Hutchinson for years to be invested in
Wichita
A capitalist remarked the other day
that he was certain that an electric car
line proposition would be a sure thing
by next spring or early summer and
this, alone, will change all ideas about
the future of the city. With the car
line a certain thing Hutchinson will
move ahead and be still better prepared
to offer to the people who are looking
for a home all the conveniences that
any larger city might have. Paving is
started, in spite of the fact that some
a nf
ing would never be laid in the city. 1t
is true that this is about the extent at
this time, but the fact remains that
other blocks will be built in the spring,
and Main street will come in line be-
fore the summer has fairly well start
ed This is what is needed to make the
city prosperous and it is surely COM
ing this way.
There never was a time in the his
tory when Hutchinson was doing as
well as it is right at this time. There
is more life to the town in every way
and people are buster. This comes

EASTERN SEASON OVER.
Curtain Drops on the Race Tracks
on Metropolitan Circuit.


New York, Nov. 15.-When the last
race is run at the Aqueduct track
Tuesday the Metropolitan racing sea-
son will have come to an end. In
some respects it has been the best
season in the history of the American
turf. Not a single track has failed to
make big money for it's owners; the
purses have become more and heavier
than ever before, insuring a profitable
season for the owners of horses that
could win races, and more general in
terest has been taken in racing than
ever before. In some respects the sea-
son drawing to a close has not been
as sensational as the previous one.
There have not been as many
horses of as great caliber for one
thing, though some mighty good
horses have been developed at that,
and the average of the sport has been
high. Another feature in which the
season has been behind its immediate
predecessor is in the amount of sensa-
tioral plunging. There has been no
such wild saturnalia of reckless betting
as marked the Saratoga meet of 1903,
for example. Not a plunger this year
has taken a buhse1 basket full of yell
lowbacks into the betting ring with
which to settle up his losses.

ColOred Man Again.
Chicago. Nov. 15.-Although the
Joe Gans-Jimmy Britt light-weight
championship battle is a thing of the
past and the records will show Cans
the winner on a foul, it is still being
whispered, especially on the coast,
that the result of the fight was made
to order and delivered to the public as
per arrangement. A San Francisco
publication, in it's aftermath of the
battle, says:
THE promoters of boxing are feel
ing the pulse of the public on the

them together at 1876 pounds, ring
side, in December, under the auspices
of the Yosemite club. The general
impression seems to be that the pa
irons of boxing have had a surfeit of
Manager HEREFORD and of Cans, par
ticularly of Herford. Cans is re-
ported to have said to a friend with
in S minutes after he left the ring
on Monday night that he could whip
Britt in a round. 1t is a matter of
ring history that he did not do so
then. When the spectators at the af-
fair discuss the quick action of the
entire spectacle they seem to arrive at
the conclusion that it was too much
like a cheap theater melodrama. 1t
was staged and managed to perfection
from the dramatic incidents of the
weighing in until the final curtain.
Shortly before the boxers entered the
ring a number of we'll dressed coIored
men appeared in the downtown cafes
and offered to bet in thousands on
Cans. They had the shining gold to
place on the man from Baltimore. 1t
would be better for the promoters to
leave Cans to his terrapin and his
dice-shaking in Maryland and seek
boxing talent elsewhere. AL HEREFORD
made a getaway for Baltimore on
Wednesday night with a big wad of
san Francisco coin. Cans followed
his wise manager yesterday morning.
