10 me W orlos ralr, ST. LOUIS.

Fittingly and permanently com
memorating the vast importance of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the year
1904 will witness the completion of the
new line of The Chicago & Alton Rail
way between Kansas City and ST.
Louis Operation over this new road
which will be the short line between
Kansas City and st. Louis, will COM
mence about June Is, l904-only short
time later tuan the opening Of the
Worlds Fair
In time of completion, and also in
other ways the Atoms new line is typi-
cal Of the Fair. The ST. Louis EXPOSE
tion will show the highest examples of
every product of all kinds in the verdi
as will The Chicago & Alton new line
show the highest standard to which the
worlds railways can be brought. AS
the Worlds Fair will illustrate the
processes which make American goods
preferred in the markets Of the world,
so the Chicago & Alton will illustrate
in all details -construction, equipment
and operation-the accepted standards,
which serve as models for the worlds
common carriers
The trains run via The Atoms new
Kansas CitySt. Louis line will provide
additional and very much faster service
to and from the Worlds Fair city, and
our readers will do we'll to make sure
that their tickets read between Kansas
City and st. Louis via THE Only
Way, which line the editor gladly re-
commends.

All a Matter of Form.

In these days of imperialism,
trusts and autocracy, the holding of
national convention Is only u mat
ter of form. Take the Forthcoming
republican national convention. A
few leaders have met together al
ready and selected the nominee for
the presidency, they have chosen
the temporary and permanent chair
men, though the convention is sup
posed to do these things itself. The
chairman for each of the committees
has likewise been selected. The
platform itselthas nearly all been
written and it will be completed
long before the convention meets.
When the thousand or so delegates
come together in Chicago, they will
find everything already completed
and all they will have to do will be
to swallow the concoctlon and 90
home. The convention will be no
more a deliberalve body than a
congress Of Russians trying to form
laws for the Cav. a few bosses
get together and do the whole bust
ness and a delegate who dares to
kick Is thrown out as traitor.
The democrats, not being in pow
er, will meet more as deliberatiye
body and do Its own work IN com
mittee and on the convention floor.
1t they were in office, though, pretty
much the same tactics would be fol.
lowed rs the republicans are now
doing.
In any event the few political
bosses do it all, and the sucker.
who go as delegates, are there only
to say amen" to what has been de.
claed on. So far as the actual effect
is concerned there Is no need for !

the fact that there ares no ghosts in the

ertheless In following the interplay Of
soul upon soul and the intricate workings

loses sight Of the material being: his In
terest is centered5sin the intercourse of
minds and in mental processes. This gives
no sense of unreality. but rather height
ems the sense Of that highest reality which
humankind knows, the stream"-o of con-
seriousness which persists while all around
it is shifting and changing. ..
I'D It is not surprising that in such story
there is q large element Of the unexpected
the unexpectedness ofslife, the nnexpect-
edness that one always meets with among
those who think, whose lives are guided
by something moreS than the mere assoc

in Miss sedgWick' 81 Story, does not often
see the end Of a sentence or paragraph or

the end Is reached the processes by which

the intricacies Of these processes is such
as is rarely seen in fiction In these days.

POLICEMAN DISAPPOINTED
Central Station Janitor Catches Man
and Court Frees Him.

Louis Wolfson,. janitor at the CEN
trail police. station, has concluded that
police business is a thankless task.
Welfsoni was sleeping comfortably in
his chair in front of the furnace in the
basement Of the Central police station
last night when he heard some one
moving about in the engineroom He
peeped and saw him filling his pockets
with coal from the bin.
]Es ~ WhatSare you doing there?' shout;
,ed,;the Watehful janitor.
z The man did not reply but made a
dash for the stairway. Wolfson caught
him by the coattail Just as he reached
the top and the two rolled to the bot:
tom. Then. the stranger turned fercely
upon Wolfson Over and over they
rolled .:on the floor Of the basement UNI:
til both were completely covered with
dust and ashes.
The sound Of combat reached the
ears Of Patrolman Matt Jones, who ran
down stairs to find Wolfson SITTING
upon his prisoner, Who said his name
was Swan Andersen. He was locked
upon d charge Of vagrancy, but in DO
lice court this morning Judge Hol1
could find no evidence to convict hin
and he was discharged. Wolfson was
much. disappointed.

Wanted-More Conspiracy

Depending, probably, upon the tamil
lar tradition that emo Hennepin jury
will ever convict DR.. Ames,' the de-
Tense in the present trial of the former
mayor is making picturesque variations
in it's allegations. The latest line OF
defense, indicated by yesterdays devel-
opments, will be an attempt to prove
that grand jurors participated in con-
spiracy against Ames. The, former
mayor, as human being, is naturally
entitled to a certain amount OF sympa-
thy, because Of his age, infirmities and
weaknesses. But the misfortunes which
have come to him as the result OF his
notorious administration, his flight, ar
rest and trials, hardly entitle him to
pose as the victim Of a conspiracy.
This is especially true when it is gro
tesquely attempted to fasten the plot
ting upon men who have been regarded
as the deliverers of the city ever since
they brought down the citadel of cor
ruption about the ears of the Ames
gang. If the routing of such NAL
odorous clique by group Of loyal cltl-
zens chosen by, lot is conspiracy,
let 8 have more Of it.

1900 novels by unknown writer's OF this
number about seven are accepted. If any
one wanted proof of luck In numbers there
it is; 800 fail, seven succeed. But that
is an aside. Wesare thankful for the 1900
books that don't get into print. The num-

thanks now and are thankful that it is
