WANT TO BUY EsKRIDGE ROAD.
Proposal Made to Directors on Behalf
of Eastern Capitalists.

A tentative proposition for the purchase
of the Topeka, Eskridge and Council
Grove Interurban Railway company was
in the Commercial club rooms on Satur-
day night by Mr.. w. l.. Taylor Twelve
of the directors of the road were present
Mr.. Taylor's proposition was only a verbal
one He told the directors that he repre-
sented three capitalists of New York and
Chicago who had the money and were
willing to either buy out the present com
pany and pay them literally for the work
and expense that they had already peen 10
and build the road under the present name
of the company, and receive the Donds
that had already been voted upon the COM
pletion of the road, or organize a company
for the purpose of building the road and
furnish the money and work under the d.
rection of the present company.
Mr.. Taylor said that the parties had the
money and mean business and were IN
pleted an electric road running out OF To-
ledo, O., which is part of the line proposed
from Toledo to Chicago.
Some legal questions are involved regard
ing the bonds that have been voted in the
event that the road is turned over to an
Stone and A. F. Williams, attorneys, We're
appointed to represent the directors IN a
conference with an attorney to be named
by Mr.. Taylor. They are to investigate
the entire proposition and will make a re-
port to the directors at meeting to be
held in about two weeks.
Most of the directors of the road are
farmers living in the country to be ben
efited by it and they do not care who
builds or owns the road just as long as it
impressed with the proposition made by
Mr.. TayIOr.

JAPANESE POURING IN.
They Are Rapidly CoIonizing the Con-
Quered Territory.

Peixin, Sept. 4.-Commercial men of
north China hope and believe that a
complete opening of southern Man
churia to foreign trade will be incident
to the new status of the territory now
occupied by the Japanese troops. Jap
anese colonization in Korea has been
repeated in Manchuria on a large
scale. Japanese civilians have been
permitted to enter the country freely
and Antung, Fengwang Cheng, Muk-
den, Dalny and Newchwang have be-
come populous Japanese cities.
Newchwang, where before the war
there were about a hundred Japanese
and year ago a thousand, now has
5000 and the number is continually
increasing by the arrival daily of from
SO to 100 immigrants.
The Japanese army department is
operating light railway bewteen An
tung and Fengwang Cheng, and those
places in the early summer had a pop
ulation of more than 5000 Japanese
each and they are still growing.
Representatives of many large Jap
anese firms engaged in various sorts of
enterprises. have been investigating
the possibilities of the country and are
impressed by it's wealth 1t remains,
however, to be seen how large a pro-
portion of the Japanese population will
take up a permanent residence there.

PANIC ON A LAUNCH.
Passengers Jump Overheard and Five
Are Missing.

Detroit, Sept. 4.-Five people are
believed TO have been drowned dur
ing a panic last night on the gasoline
launch Ben Hur at the st. Claire
flats. Details are very slow in COM
ing. 1t is understood that one of the
drowned men is Fred Nogg of Cleve-
land. The Ben Hur was taking a
party of forty to hotels near Sans
Souci from a dance at Joe Bendo's
when gasoline began leaking from the
engine and exploded. The curtains
on the launch caught fire and the
flames exploded the gasoline. Most
of the passengers jumped overheard.
The screams of the people attracted
other launches from Carbon Point
and those who could be found were
rescued. At o'clock today all but
five of the passengers had been ac-
counted for. The missing are sup
posed to have been drowned.

EWING IN MORE TROUBLE.
Negro Jointist Beats a Man With Re-
vOlver.

In a fight between negroes in North
Topeka Sunday night Dave Chesney,
a young negro, was beaten over the
head with a revolver by John Ewing,
a negro dive-keeper.
The two negroes tell different stor-
ries concerning the affray- Ches-
ney claims that he was assaulted with
out provocation by Ewing, and when he
went home to get his gun for self de-
fense, Ewing and two or three other
negroes jumped on him, relieved him
of his weapon and beat him a second
time. Ewing says that Chesney was
s'laying" for him with a shotgun, and
that he held up George Parker by mis-
take. Before he could retreat to the
weeds according to the Ewing story,
Ewing jumped on him and took away
his gun.

ROCKEFELLER WORE A WIG.
At the Cleveland Church the Oil King
Was Not Recognized.

Cleveland, O., Sept. John D.
Rockefeller has purchased a wig He
wore it in the Euclid Avenue Baptist
church Sunday With his altered ap
pearance he was scarcely recognized.
At the door he was welcomed heartily,
as all newcomers to the church are,
and the invitation to attend the ser
vices was almost completed before it
was discovered who the eminent per-
sonage with the steel gray hair really
was. Rockefeller took the matter with
a smile and seemed not the least
abashed.
The wig itself is not an elaborate af-
fair. 1t is even plebeian in the man
ner of parting the hair. There is no
visible part in it. This is not the most
remarkable thing about it, however.
At the back it does not conform to
the lines of the head. There was a
perceptibIe space between the two,
where only the morning air held full
sway. The absolute lack of the least
hint of hair made the distinction be-
tween the wig and the undecorated
portion of his head striking

TWO COOL DAYS.
and Today of the Chilly
Kind.

Sunday was one of the most COM
Portable days of the summer season, it
was as nearly an ideal day as one
might expect to experience during the
latter part of October. AT no time
during the day did the mercury reach
point higher than IS and most of the
time it was considerable lower than
that, with a good stiff breeze blowing
most of the time. After the sun went
down in the evening there was a, hur-
ried scurrying for light wraps and be-
fore morning there was a wild Scram-
BILE for extra bed clothing, for the mer-
curry dropped down into the 40 column.
Today is a continuation of yesterdays
weather with a possible improvement
if such a thing is possible and many
comments are heard that its time for
heavy clothing and those who are
fortunate enough to possess a, new fall
wrap have it on exhibition today and
the presumption is that they are not at
all uncomfortable. The minimum for
yesterday was 73, reached along late
in the afternoon and the indications
at noon are that the mercury will
hardly make a higher mark today. The
wind is blowing from the north or
little northwest today at the rate of
miles an hour.
