All the passenger representatives in
charge of the local business for the lines
running to st. Louis have written let

asking that stop-over privileges be al
lowed On all tickets reading through Kan
sas City for the Worlds Fair city. In
each of these letters the importance OF
such favors from the railroads was ex-
planned, and there seems no doubt what
ever among those in charge of the bust
ness here that in less than week all the
lines will announce such action. Since
the ordinance regulating the business of
scalpers was passed the railroads have
lost their fear of allowing these stop
over privileges, and have already begun
to plan greater things in the interest of
this city.
Now that the first request of the bust
ness men has practically been settled ia
vorably to them, the local representatives
of all the railroads which carry home
seekers through Kansas City for the
southwest and northwest, and to any
other sections they might go, are discuss
ing the plan of asking the general passen-
ger agents to allow stop-over privileges
of ten days on all homeseekers' tickets.
Every since the homeseekers travel has

past few years, local business men and

consequently refused all such requests.

that in attempting to drive this horse he
took his life in his hands and that he,

horse killed Gleason. as he had already
killed two men who had made similar
