SUMMER RESORTS
ATTRACT PEOPLE
ST. LOUIS TRAVEL HAS TAKEN
QUITE A SLUMP.
TRAVEL TO THE NORTH
Greatly Increased of Late-West-
bound Trains Have Abandoned
the Extra Equipment.
TRAVEL TO THE NORTH

The travel over the Pennsylvania
railroad to the St. Louis World s fair
is rather slack at present, a slump not
large but very evident, having been
taken. About three or four weeks ago
the travel was at its height, the
through trains were crowded to the
guards day and night, and all the ex-
ira equipment of the Panhandle was
called into use. For about two or
three weeks this state Of affairs last
ed, the trains being filled with travel
ers to the fair. Extra cars were added
and for ten days the heaviest of the
! western trains ran in two sections.
But this state passed so that now,
! while the travel still keeps up, it is a
great deal lighter than it was. Rail
road men say that this is due just now
to the rush Of people to the summer
resorts, which fills the northbound
trains to overfowing each day and
| that after the summer resort season is
over the st. Louis travel will again
increase. The summer resorts are
opened now and in full blast, and
these attract the majority of those
who travel and will hold them until
the latter part of August and early
September. At that time they will re-
turn home for few days, then away
to the fair. This rush is due to two
things: the summer resorts always at
tract great numbers at this time and
ST. Louis, always a hot city, will be
, very hot during July and August.
This keeps many from attending
the fair. Richmond people who have
lately returned from the fair state
that dull time is being experienced
| there and that the fairs attendance
is not expected to increase until Sep
TENDER at least Many Richmond peo-
pie are making arrangements to leave
soon for the northern resorts, and
will later 90 to the fair. The large
attendance two months ago was fol-
lowed by relapse, which will in turn
be followed by an increase in about
two months.

lLlPqLElIIBOY
Who struch Baby Brother With a
Hatchet, Oblivious to Fact That
He is the Cause of Death.

Cincinnati, O., July 15.-Little
Howard Dobell, the 5-year old boy, of
1910 Central Avenue, who struck his
brother Irwin in the head with the
side of a broken Ratchet in order to
stop its crying, does not yet see INTO
realize that he is the cause of the in
FAINT s death from a fractured skull.
Howard put his finger in his mouth
and swayed back and forth in lnno-
cent, childlike fashion as he answered
the questions asked him.
Irving Dobell,th 4-months-old ba-
| by killed by his 5-year-old brother,
Howard, at 1910 Central Avenue, was
buried Thursday afternoon at the
German Protestant Cemetery, Car
thage Pike.
Little Howard was out in front OF
his house Wednesday morning playing
as happily as ever. He seemed entire
| ly oblivious of the tragedy in which
he played SO important part. When
he was asked if he knew what he had
done he said 81 killed Irving,' and
| then he shrugged his shoulders as
though he did not understand that it
was he who had struck his baby broth
err with a broken Ratchet so that he
would stop crying, and that the ba-
by's cries has ceased forever. He used
the expression "killed' but did not
know what it meant.
The continued stiffness of his baby
brother rather perplexes the little lad.
Every little while he runs to his moth
err and asks why the baby does not
wake up. ..,
When she tells him that the baby
| is dead he does not understand, and
says:
"Get the doctor and give him some
medicine so he will be all right, and
can play with us. -
1t seems impossible to impress on
| the mind of the little fellow that he
has done something very wrong. He
knows that things are not just right
at home, but that is about all.
He enjoys immensely the attention
that is paid him, and is very proud
of his pictures in the newspapers.
The boys father said to a reporter
"Last night his mother gave him a
beating for what he has done. She
feels so bad she hardly knows what
she is doing | know Howard didn t
realize what the whipping was for.
Zone thing, he'll never. play with
a Ratchet or hammer again.
When Howard was asked why he
was whipped he said: II don t
know

IMPROVEMENTS
Will be Made in the Newly Acquired
c., II. & D. Property.

The new owners of the c., H. & d.
line are to make extensive improve
ments to the three properties which
are controlled by the c., H. & D. rail-
road company. 1t was stated that the
company had purchased 5000 cars
forty locomotives and a large tonnage
Of new steel rails, but this is by no
means the size of the contracts that
are to be placed.
On the c., c. & L. road there is
quite a number of large new locomO-
tives that have never been used and
these are to be placed in service on
the c., II. & d. proper as soon as the
bridges are strengthened sufficiently.
Then improvements on the roadbed
are contemplated which will trans
form the c., II. & d. proper and the
two allied lines into a high STAN
ard system of roads. The official said
it would take three or four years to
accomplish the contemplated improve
ments.
On the c., H. & D. proper, Indi-
annapolis division, contract has been
let for a 100000 bridge at Liberty,
over 700 feet in length; Sugar creek
which it crosses, being a treacherous
stream and when waters are high they
spread over a good deal of territory.
The bridge proper rests over eighty
five feet above the bed Of the stream
