HEAVY WESTERN TRAVEL.
Many People Are on the Way to Cali
fOrnia.

Tourist travel to California is ex-
ceptionally heavy this week on all
railroads. For several weeks a rate
of $25 has been in effect and the ex-
cursion rate expires on Saturday the
18th. Consequently travel has been
exceptionally heavy this week.
w. J. Black, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe, today stated
that since the first of this month the
Santa Fee has had Sc extra tourist
sleeping cars to handle tourist excur-
sion business. The Sc extra cars have
been in addition to the regular equip
ment of tie regular California trains
Train No 1, yesterday was run in
two sections and it was also run in
two sections today with twenty-five
cars in the train. Arrangements have
been made to use three sections to-
morrow and Saturday
Other railroads handling California
travel have also had unusually good
business.

MORE PAY FOR ATTENDANTS.
That Is the Recommendation of State
Board of Charities.

The forthcoming biennial report OF
the state board of charities. which is
now in the hands of the state printer
will recommend that more money be
paid for attendants in the insane aSy-
lums in order that competent help
may be obtained. At present the
wages range from SIS to $50 a month
Persons who care for the insane
should be, in a way, trained nurses
and good service cannot be secured for
the wages that are paid. The appro-
priations for these purposes in the
past have not been sufficient to pay
larger salaries.
This matter was emphasized by the
legislative investigation following the
death of an insane patient in the To-
peka asylum two years ago, resulting
from alleged inhuman treatment by an
attendant.
The report makes recommendations
with reference to the nine charitable
institutions under the control of the
board. Among other things it says:
There have been many improve
ments in all branches Of the service.
The capacity of the hospitals for the
insane has been greatly enlarged, and
for the first time since the organization
of the state no INDECENT insane are be-
ing kept in county or private asylums.
All are being cared for at the various
state institutions. During the b1en-
MUM preceding the one just closing
more than $150,00O was expended to
reimburse the various counties for the
INDECENT insane cared for by them, be-
cause no room could be provided at
the state hospitals
Much improvement has been made
at the hospitals. A department pro-
Yiding for thorough laboratory work
and archaeological investigation has
been instituted at the hospitals at To-
peka, Osawatomie and Parsons. The
opening of the Parsons hospital for
epileptics has relieved the general hos
pitfalls of the presence of a most diff
cult class of patients, and has insured
a better classification of all the insane,
besides giving to the epileptics more
scientific care and treatment.
"a training school for nurses has
been in operation at each of the insane
hospitals for two years. and these have
been fruitful of most excellent re-
Suits

wATERwoRKs CONFERENCE.
Another One Is In Progress This
Afternoon.

AT o'clock this afternoon a confer
ence on the subject of waterworks be-
tween President Charles F. Street of
the water company, and the members
Of the waterWorks committee of the
city council. composed of VIM. Green,
S. 7. Howe and ]. w. F. Hughes was
begun.
President Street returned Wednesday
evening from Kansas City. He said:
L am not yet ready to say anything
about the situation. Everything seems
to be going along satisfactorily. L hope
very soon to be able to give the city
clear title to this water plant"
THE water company is still expecting
to carry out the agreement for sale?'
was asked.
The only thing we have to go by"
said Mr.. Street, lis the official action of
the city council agreeing to take the
plant for $620O00. We are going ahead
with our part of the work, getting the
title cleared up, and expect to do our
part toward making the sale OF course
if the city doesn't want the plant
and Mr.. Street shrugged his shoulders
why, it doesn't need to
take it, that's ALL
The waterworkS committee is not
very friendly to city ownership. Hughes
is violently and openly opposed to the
deal. Howe is opposed to all city own
ership and talks in favor of giving the
water company a new franchise, but
says he will obey his pledges and vote
for city ownership. Green is neutral
but will probably express himself at to-
days meeting.

REPAIRS ARE FINISHED.
Santa Fe Starts Through Trains ON
thef Main Line.

The last of the repairs on the
main line of the Santa Fe in the Moro
canon in New Mexico was completed
early this morning and through trains
to and from the Pacific coast are now
getting through over the company's
own lines without being detoured.
Eight trains eaStbound which were
held twenty four hours rather than
detour them through Texas started
eastward from the Moro canon early
this morning and will pass through
Topeka tomorrow about noon.
With the exception of the line from
Albuquerque to Ell Paso the Santa Fe
now has all lines open and trains in
operation the same as before the de-
lays to traffic caused by the floods.
The officials cannot state today how
soon the repairs can be completed to
allow traffic communication to Ell Paso
direct, but think it will be within a
few DAYS.

ATTACKS ROOSEVELT.
Senator Bailey Makes OratoricaI On
sIaught ON the President.

| Littleton, w. Va. Oct. 13.-At Man
nington, the center of the West Vir-
ginia oil region, the citizens assembled
! en- masse to hear the Democratic ora
tory. McGraw followed Mr.. Davis
both discussing state issues. Senator
Bailey then took I'D the work and
made his first speech in the whirl-
wind campaign. After discussing the
| effect of Republican rule on national
| taxation, he turned his attention to
President Roosevelt. On the first topic
he concluded that the government
could do nothing for the people until
| the people had done something first
for the government. In paying high
Salaried officials their money and then
having another official pay it back, he
said, there was great danger of having
some of it stick to the fingers of the
officials. They began by stealing
stamps in Cuba, he continued, and
wound up by stealing the whole post
office department at Washington.
President Roosevelt, he said, had
spent more on yachts for his own pri-
vate use and for making repairs at the
White House than it had cost to run
the whole executive department of the
government under President Jackson.
He has taken down the venerable signs
of revolutionary age and the emblefns
of progress and peace and replaced
them with emblems of war. No longer
hangs the picture of the gentle lady on
this wall. 1t has been taken down and
sold for old furniture and in its place,
the rifle and the bearsxin is hanging to-
day. Going into the White House you
have to take care or you will stumble
over the lions head, the leopard's head
or the tigers skin.
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Bailey con-
tinued, has denounced every president
that ever preceded him up to the war
may have some living friend to vote
against him.

Court to Open Earlier.

of the supreme court will begin week
earlier than it would according to the
regular schedule, so that it will not
conflict with the election. Regularly
the session begins on the first Mon
day of the month and continues dur
ing the week, but the first Monday
in November comes on the seventh
of the month and the next day is
election day. Lawyers, as a rule, do
not like to be away from home on
that day, so the court has decided to
begin its November session on Tues
day, Nov. 1, and it will run through
the balance of the week.

Apathy on the part of Democrats in
The present campaign can easily be ac-
counted for on me ground that there is
much disappointment if not dfssatis-
faction with the ticket and the plat
form of the party. No such reasoning
applies in the case of the Republicans.
Both the candidates and the declara-
ton of principles are in line with what
they have been voting for eight years
at least. 1t has been suggested that
apparent lack of interest is due to n
feeling that Mr.. Roosevelt is certain of
election. This would fit in very Wen
with the situation in Kansas and in a
number of other states. But there are
states classed as doubtful and enough
Of them to make the result uncertain
unless the Republicans in those states
can be aroused to effort. No really
sound reason for a change in the ma
tional administration has vet been Of
fered.

Savannah (Ga.) News: Recently the
Montgomery Advertiser remarked, edi-
torially, that there never had been a
popular pension commissioner. and
never would be one. The observation
struck Commissioner Ware as partic-
ularly. apropos. and he wrote to the edi-
tor of the Advertiser: your head is
so accurately level that alongside of it
a billiard table is a steep and perilous
declivity." Pension commissioners are
not popular because not one of them
who tries honestly to administer the
laws as he finds them can please the
pension attorney and the thousands of
claimants who are continually ham
mering at the doors of the bureau, not
for justice, but for favors.

Brought to Reform School.

The Newton Republican says: Lee
Slaughter. the colored boy who has
been giving his parents, their neigh
bors and the police considerable trou-
Bile lately, was taken to the reform
school at Topeka by Sheriff Masters at
noon today. The lad has a hayward
disposition and has been in several
escapades lately. His parents say he
is incorrigible and SO the probate judge
ordered him sent to the reform school.
The misdeed that was the immediate
cause of his being taken into custody
was stealing a chicken from a neigh
bor."
