The reports also indicate large

Tourist cars PoDuIar

The idea that an inferior class of
people patronize the tourist sleepers is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
of money to be used elsewhere. 1t is
beginning to be understood that it is
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum of money in or
der to enjoy a trip to the Pacific coast.
If you cross the continent ia one. of
the tourist sleepers of the Union Pa
cific you viii enjoy your trip and save
considerable money.

TRAIN OF MlSFORTUNES
Automobile Wrecked, Set Afre, and
No. 2 Hose Broke an Axle.

A $1,000 automobile belonging to DR.
Robert 0, Rhodes was wrecked last ev-
ening in an attempt to avert a coils
ion with a buggy and DR.. Rhodes him
self narrowly escaped serious injury
What was left from the wreck was
burned Up by one of the lamps coming
In contact with the overturned gasO-
line tank.
The accident occurred at s o'clock
last evening near the corner of Tenth
and Western avenues. DR.. Rhodes was
driving west on Tenth avenue at a
high rate of speed when he noticed a
buggy coming towards him on his side
of the street. The man in the buggy
did not turn out far enough to the
right 70 give DR.. Rhodes room between
the buggy and the curbing and rather
than crash into the horse and buggy
DR.. Rhodes swerved his automobile
towards the curbing. It went with
crash against the stone curbing and
crumpled up the front wheel nearest
board. DR.. Rhodes was precipitated

ed open and the contents splattered
over the automobile. One of the lamps
was torn from its fastenings and COM
ing in contact with the gasoline the
whole vehicle was soon wrapped in
flames. The whole was soon reduced
to a mass of iron work. The flames
shot up a distance Of about 20 feet and
sc0rched the branches of the trees. A
fire alarm was turned in and in re-
spending the hose wagon from No. 2
station had the front axle broken at

WHERE Do THEY GET IT?
Mayor Can't Understand How White
Horse Brigade Gets Liquor.

Where do the white horse" fends

". z. Davis wants to find out
There are some six staunch, tried
and true members of the Topeka
white horse brigade. They are al
ways swinging in an orbit which has
its focal point at the police station.
Getting drunk and being fined is the
sum total of their existence. It has
driven Mayor w. H. Davis into desper-
atom He would like to put his finger
on the curative and claims that he
is unable to discover 1t. Long terms
of imprisonment don't seem to do any
good; the white horse brigade rather

this said the mayor. 81 can't dis
cover where the stuff is procured or to
whom these habituals go for their
supply. None of the drug stores seem
to sell them any of the liquor which
they drink. I believe most of them
use alcohol; ordinary liquors can no
longer appease the craving which
they possess.

KILL VALUABLE HORSES.
State Veterinarian Says Parasites Are
Doing Immense Damage.

The state veterinarian reports several
outbreaks of a trouble in horses in diff
ferent parts Of the state. which was
caused by parasites described as the
palisade worm (strongylus armatus).
Each outbreak has caused loss to the
owner OF nearly a thousand dollars
worth OF horses. From the fact that
the trouble does not always manifest
itself in the same way it frequently
puzzles the local veterinarian for some
time.s
The life history of this. worm is. very
interesting; it passes the greater portion
of it's life in the intestine of the horse;
a part of it possibly in the arteries; an
other portion in the outer world. Here
it may be found in stagnant water in
meadows, in any damp place. If there
is sufficient moisture present and the
temperature not too cold it may live for
months. In dry weather or in absence
of sufficient moisture the parasite soon
loses its vitality and dies. The source
Of infection in the horse, it may there
fore be seen, is stagnant drinking wa
ter, moist pastures or green fodder.

Lawrence Kan Nov. Football at
Kansas university is plainly in Grip
pied state. Although the team holds
together surprisingly we'll it is evident
to the supporters of the team that there
is a lack of good heavy men from
which to select permanent team mem
berS or reliable substitutes. Since the
game with Colorado the men have lost
confidence and are not satisfied with
the way they played. Nearly all the
men are sore and at Tuesdays prac-
tice there was not half the regular
team in the scrimnlage. To the coach
the prospects look little gloomy.
Washington team which Kansas univer-
sity will meet Saturday he replied that
he knew nothing of the men, but that
they would not surprise him if they
won the game, considering the condi-
ton of the Kansas team. Although
there are plenty of freshmen who
would greatly strengthen the varsity
team they will not be used on regular
team even if the coach has to recruit
from those who did not make good in
the Scrimmages.
Concerning the Colorado game, little
has been discussed in the JayhawkeT
Headquarters except for an occasional
players or on the failure and mistakes
made by the Kansans. To the rooters
the defeat seemed q calamity and
caused them to lose a little faith in the
gaining ability of their pet players. The

entS and a scheme is on foot to remedy
the deficiency in the "Rock Chalk en-
thusiasm before Saturdays game with

LOEBAGREAT CRATER.
ParaIyfic Who Tried to Work Santa F'e
Exposed by New York sun.

Leo Loeb, a paralytic, who posed as
a hero and who attempted to secure
free transportation to Chicago from
General Manager Hurley of the Santa
Fe while In Topeka, is characterized by
the New York sun as a 1aklr. Loeb
was unsuccessful in securing a pass
from Elmo WhitmOre, transportation
clerk in the general managers Office
and was rebuned upon his first re-
quest He persisted and coming back
the second day told WhitmOre that he
had seen the general manager in the
interim and that Mr.. Hurley had told
him it was all right. Whltmore was
dubious of this story and going into the
general managers office attempted to
verify and was told by Mr.. Hurley,
himself, that he had never made such
a statement. Finally LeOb was offered
half fare rate from Topeka to Chicago.
He took umbrage at this, however, and
went away refusing the prOffer. Loeb
secured a Writeup of his supposed
heroic attempt to save the people OF
. Manitou while in Topeka.
The New York Sun says:
Leo L. Loeb. 'COlOradO's Cloudburst
Hero The Most Cut Up Man Alive
The Paul Revere Of Manitou,' is at his
old tricks again. Loeb is one of the
most picturesque of grafters and fake
paralytics. Last April, just after he
had scored the advertising success of
his life by a sensational article in q
New York Sunday newspaper, he was
caught IN New ] DIX with the goods on
him, made q full confession in writing
TO officer Forbes of the Charity Organ
1zauon society and escaped prosecution
by promising to cut out grating for
ever.
"These are the facts about Loeb as
picked up by the Charity Organization
society and embodied in his own con-
fessiOn.
He was a congenital Daralytic, born
of a family of ml-prOfessiOnal beg
gars. At the age OF II he was put to
selling soap on the streets. He grew
up beggar OF many accom- pl5shments
and his defOFmity was the support of
his family, which had a bad name
among charity organizations.
I'm 1892 he was in Colorado. At
that time there was a great clOudburst
1n Ute Falls Canon. DOctOred neWspa-
per reports had a cowboy riding ahead
of the torrent warning people from its
path In some manner not yet ex-
planned Loeb got himself created that
man. He Worked it all over the coun-
try. He would hit a town, get himself
written up and, using the article as
Endorsement, he would strike promi-
abroad for an operation. That was not
his only game, but it was his best hold.
He began on New York With full
page story in Sunday supplement.
The very next day after It appeared he
was arrested.
Mr. Forbes still holds in his possess
sion Loeb's letters of recommendation
from such persons as the mayor of
San Francisco, his collection of clip
pings, his signed confession and his
written promise not to graft any more
