thorfty. I have never had so many
bosses as am working for at the
present time. never had to say no
so often when I wanted to say yes I
am under more restraint than any of
you, and yet I am pegging away all

my property strong for the benefit of
the public, its stockholders, its en-

myself.
Il would like to pay the men of
our company better wages and allow
them greater privileges than my

will take my place who will bring
about an equitable comparison. IF

Hotel in "The Wilderness. -
The Inside Inn. Wholly Within the
Worlds Fair Grounds. Affords an
Ideal Meeting Place.
Accommodations at Modest Rates.

The broad and splendidIy shaded
verandas and the mammoth and well
ventilated rOtunda of the Inside Inn,
the only hotel within the Worlds Fair
grounds at St. Louis, is an ideal meet
ing place for friends when they visit
the Fair.
This hosiery, which covers an area
of 400 by 800 feet, is three stories high
and contains z,257 rooms. Immense
wide porches surround the great struc-
ture, and as the building was erected
in the very heart of what was THE
Wilderness" one of the most delightful
spots of Forest Park, the giant oaks
furnish a tall times a grateful shade.
Rustic benches, settees, and chairs are
generously placed on the porches, and
while one waits for his friends he may
enjoy each moment in watching the
passing thrOnG, and in admiring the
architecture of the many handsome
structures reared by the states of the
union on adjacent sites.
The Inn is in the southeast corner of
the Worlds Fair grounds, near one of
the main entrances, and of easy ac-
cess. A short walk will take the guest
to any point in the main picture of
the Exposition If he desires to reach
the Athletic grounds, the stadium. the
six-acre rose garden, the 40-acre Phil
ippine exhibit or the 30-acre Indian ex-
hibit or any other of the thousand and
one features he may board the Intra-
mural railway, which passes the door
and for one fare he may be landed ut
the desired place in a jiffy.
Should the occasion require that he
go down town he may board any
street car that passes the hotel on the
south, and on payment of one fare he
may reach any point in st. Louis
One great advantage of being a guest
at the Inside Inn is that if one during
the heat of the day should become
weary, he may retire to his room, take
a refreshing bath indulge in a siesta,
and later resume his Sightseeing with
renewed energy and more capable of
enjoying it, because of the brief rest.
The rates governing the Inside Inn
are reasonable and were fixed by the
Exposition mana cement. Rates on the
European plan range from $3.50 to $500
per day, admission to the Exposition
included. Breakfast and luncheon are
served in a cafe seating $500 persons
for so cents. while evening dinner is
served for IS cents.

Oil News Around Sedan.

Sedan, Kas., May IA gas well,
with a flow of gas so strong that drill
ing was stopped, was found at a
depth of $50 feet on the cornf1eld land
near Hale yesterday. The lease be-
longs to the New York and Western
Oil company, and this is the first well
that has been drilled in that part of
the field. This is a good indication
that better flow is in a sand below
this and it will be cased off and drill
ing resumed. The company has the
contract let for three wells on this
lease.
c. H. Inglefeld has leased an acre
and a half of land adjoining Peru to
w. c. Gum & Co, of Fort Scott. The
deal was closed yesterday and the
company agrees to start the first well
of thirteen on the lease in thirty
days. Mr.. Inglefeld gets a one-fourth
royalty and thirteen wells are to be
drilled inside of six months.
The Spurlock Petroleum company
drilled in their Nos. 3 and 4 on the
Pennell land east of Chautauqua Mon
day and have wells that are good for
fifty barrels of oil each per day. This
company has started drilling on their
No. on the Alexander land, near the
Pennel land.

Davis for the visitors pitched good
ball. but not so good that Topeka can
not hit him. If the red-haired Mis-
sourian gets up against -Alberts' chill
dren again, after the latter have had
a good nights sleep, that pitcher will
be- hammered all over the field Of
course this is only a prophecy
Carter, who was in the box for To-
peka, did his best and got just about
what was coming to him. Sedalia
bats hard, and they found Carter for
fair, 3 times. HOnors were with the
Cfoldbugs.
There were two bright particular
spots again yesterday in Topeka's
game-the work of Bevis in the left
field, and that of Olson at short. The
sun-gardener had three chances, and
on two made beautiful catches. On
the third the sun was in his eyes and
he missed He got one hit Olson, at
short, was safe and sure of doing
things right as a cog-wheel. He made
no errors out of five chances.
Umpire Regain was exceptionally
good. The players don't quarrel with
him, and he does not quarrel with
them. He knows a ball from a strike
out, and whether a base runner is safe
or not He gave absolute satisfaction
and the occasional protests from the
.Sedalians should not be charged
against him. but to the expense &C
count of baseball, being one of the
things of the business.

sissy Enjoys a Nap on Third Base.

The incident was an unfortunate one.
All of the players were ordered to re-
port at the Union depot in Kansas
City at o'clock a. m. Some were a
few minutes late. The train did not
leave until 2:20, however. At that time
AlbertS sta. ted towards the cars with
several of his men. Noticing that they
were not all with him he went back for
the rest BY the time he had them
rounded UP the train had pulled out
He had the tickets, and when the con-
ductor went through the train, he
found those Topeka players who were
on the train without fare, and he put
them off the train, about a mile from
the Union depot. and they had to walk
back. The result was that not a sin
gle one of the men had a wink of
sleep in bed.
This comatose condition of the men
showed itself plainly all through the
game SISSY. without doubt one of
the best third baSemen in the league
played such a dopy game that the
fans began to call upon Manager Al
berts to take him out. Four of the Sc
dalia runs can probably be charged up
against him. In the fourth inning with
a man on second and third base, Car
ter, who was pitching for Topeka, re-
ceived the sign from Armstrong to
throw to third base. Nick let the ball
whiz at the bag, but sis" was sound
over against the gate near the entrance
and the two GO1dbugs came trotting
home. Again in the eighth the guard
of Base No. 3 was snoring. ROhn
whipped a fast little grounder into
Sissly's hands. A man was on first
and second. SISSY let the ball pass
through his mits and then stood stock
still, while little Olson came up behind
and captured the reGreant sphere. Had
Sis stepped on third and caught the
ball which Olson was ready to throw
he would have killed the runner and
retired the side. AS it was the next
man up, hit and scored both. Again
on first did this same Mr.. SISSY think
that he was in a cradle and hearing a
lullaby, something about the bee is in
the clover and the peace is on the
deep" 1t was in the third inning, the
one real time that Topeka hada chance
to score. sis started off by singing
a beauty and the fans yelled. Dick
Rohn, who is the healthy general man
ager of everything with the Sedalia
team, and plays first base, held the
ball in his nit after the throw-in. Siss-
~ hung his head, walked off the base
and began to snooze. Mr.. ROhn played
tag with him, and the Topeka third
baseman was ''it' and init" in about
two seconds. Though Cole and Bevis
both followed with singles, nobody
scored. Had SISSY remained on base
he would have come home, and Topeka
would not have had a goose egg
charged up against it on the ledger

If the Sedalia Goldbugs had not de-

chalk mark, it would have been to their
eternal disgrace. They did not meet a
snappy lively team, full of ginger and
wide-awake, but instead, an aggrega-
ton, half-hypnotized by Morpheus. who
had not been asleep for practically 80
hours, for the unfortunate reason that
they had missed the fast mail out of
Kansas City on Tuesday night on their
way from Fort Scott, and did not ar
rive in Topeka until II o'clock Wednes-
day morning just few hours before
the game.

FRIEND OF KANSAS SALT.
Paul Morton Says Santa Fe Is In
terested in the Industry.

IeFeStGQ IN the Industry.
Speaking of the visit of Paul Nor
ton to Hutchinson, the News says:
Mr.. Emerson Carey presented the salt
rate question but in that there was
little but he conceded was reason
ably all right, at least so far as the
Santa Fe is concerned. The point was
clearly estab lished that the Santa Fe
always as the defenders and the
champions of the interests of the
Kansas salt producers, and always do
all in their power to secure fair rates
and territory for them. The friendli-
ness of Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Biddle
and Mr.. German in these matters was
very much appreciated.
There was then a general discus
sion of the subjects by Mr.. Biddle, Mr..
German and Mr.. Koontz of the traffic
department, and by the jObbers pres
ent, in which all learned something to
their advantage.
In concluding the meeting Mr.. Nor
ton said: 1.-The interests of Hutchin-
son are identical with the interests of
the Santa Fe. Unfortunately the
Santa Fe is not the only road on
earth but its aim and ambition are
to push Kansas salt wherever possible
and it watches the interests of Kansas
salt as carefully as does any Kansas
salt man. The jObbers of Hutchinson
can rely upon fair treatment and their
requests will be gladly complied with.
1t is very much to our interest that
the relations with the shippers of
Hutchinson shall be cordial and
friendly. SeIf-interest. if nothing
more, will insure you fair treatment,
for the more business you do the more
we do. If at any time we are not
doing the right and best thing for
you, we would like to know where it
is and we will try to do it"

UNION PACIFIC STATEMENT.
Gross Earnings for March Showed a
Slight Loss.

The Union Pacific statement for
March IS the first monthly statement
during the current fiscal year which
mas not SHOWN an increase in gross
earnings. The statements for the prev
louS eight months have shown gross
increases ranging from 1858 900 to 1886, =
600. The statement is compared. how
ever, with a very favorable statement
Tor March, 1908, which showed an in
creased of $553S in gross.
The increase in net for the month is
81, 954, or 4 per cent the loss in gross
being only $2677. The increase in net
may have been due to slightly lower
maintenance charges
The showing for the nine months
ending March 81 is very favorable, the
gross increase being 81, 1897, 41S, or II per
cent and the net increase, 81, 165, 215, or
II per cent. Allowing for some in
crease in fixed charges on account of
loans, the increase in the earnings of
the common stock is about IL per cent
for the nine months. The earnings of
the common stock for the twelve
months ending March 81, 1904, were
about y Fer cent on the $1OS, no, 800

Pacific has become more valuable this
year. The increase in Southern Pa
cifics net earnings for the nine months
ended March 81 is $2,2S6, 218 which,
allowing for sundry increases in fixed
charges is equal to / per cent on the
S197 $40 800 capital stock. The surplus
over fixed charges of Southern Pacific
for the last twelve months is equal to

RUN THROUGH A LAKE.
Orient Asked to Change Route of Its
Outer Belt *. c. Line.

The board of park commissioners in
Kansas City, Kan. the Metropolitan
street railway officials and citizens of that
city will make an effort to have the Kan
sas City Outer Belt Railway company
make a slight change in it's route through
the 100 acre tract of land given to Kansas
City, Kan, says the Kansas City Times
The Outer Belt right of way follows a
branch of Mattson creek through the
the northwest part of the land At a bend
in the stream, where the creek banks are
skirted by low lands. Engineer Kessler,
who prepared the plans for converting the
land into an attractive park, made pro-
vision for a lake covering about two and
One-half acres. The Outer Belt right Of
way, as has been discovered. runs through
the proposed lake site, and if the officials
do not succeed in having the Outer Belt
change its route slightly it is likely that
the lake proposition will have to be ADAM
doned.
The work of improving the park is pro-
crossing under the direction of the park
board. More than one-half of the land
has been cleared and a system of walks
and driveWays has been laid out. The
park will be ready for use in a few weeks.
