WHEAT FIRST CLASS.
The Kansas Article Grades Higher
Than Ever Before.

Kansas City, July 15.-The golden
flood of wheat has started from Kan
sas. Receipts here yesterday exceed
ed 900 cars, and the expectation is
that 500 cars or more will arrive
Monday. It is estimated that there
will be 1900 cars in next week. Grain
men say the wheat this year is the
finest quality ever seen here or any
where else. There were more cars
of wheat graded No. yesterday than
ever before in a single day; and of
the small proportion that graded No.
3 nearly all would have been No. 2
but for slight dampness due to re-
cent rains. The bulk of the wheat
tested so pounds or more to the
bushel and some of it was 8 pounds
test-somethfng rarely seen in Amer
ican markets.
The soundness and plumpness of
this years crop is in marked contrast
with that of last year, when No. 2
wheat was a rarity and so per cent.
of the entire crop was badly damaged
by the heavy rains that fell in the
first half of, July, 1904. Kansas has
raised the finest crop in quality that
the state ever produced
Opinions differ as to the quantity,
ranging from 10 million to S5 mil
lion bushels. The final figures prob
ably will show that only two larger
crops than that of this year have been
raised by Kansas.
The movement of wheat has begun
much earlier this year than usual,
and for the next two months the rail-
roads will be taxed to their capacity
in hauling it to market.
Oklahoma is not shipping as much
wheat here this year as usual. Most
of it is going to Texas to make up the
deficiencies of that states crop.
Nebraska has produced a large crop
| of equally as fine quality as that of
Kansas and much of it will come to
Kansas City.
The railroads are in better shape
| to handle the crop than ever before,
The enlarged and improved freight
yards, and the increased elevator ca
pacity will enable them to avoid
blockades, and they have more cars
and engines than ever before.

TO SPEND $4,000.
New Edison Company Will Make
Many Extensions.

The formal transfer of the Edison
plant to it's new controlling interests,
the Topeka street railway company,
will be made within the next two
weeks.
AS soon as the transfer is effected
the new owners plan to extend the
circuits to all of the outlying districts
of the city; to Potwin and the north
west part of the city, to Highland park,
to Lowman Hill and all other districts
which are now handicapped by their
lack of service.
The cost of these extensions is es-
timated at about $4,000.
In addition new machinery will be
installed to take care of increased
patronage. The estimated cost of this
is not given. The new machinery will
take the place of smaller machinery
now installed and in use.
A special effort will be made to GO
after decorative effects in lighting the
down town business stores. 1t is ex-
pected that Topeka will have some OF
the finest and most elaborate displays
of a commercial character of any SINH
lar sized city in the west All of this
planned improvement will probably
take place before the snow falls.

CLEANING SAkHALIN.
Japanese Continue to Drive the Rus

washington. July 15.-The japanese
legation here has received a cablegram
from Toxic detailing the occupation of
the island of Sakhalin on July 10 and
II in which the Russians were forced
to abandon their positions. The cable
gram is as follows:
The Sakhalin army reports that in
pursuing the enemy it dislodged him
from the neighborhood of Vladimirozka
and Blijimeye, two miles west of Vfadi-
1nirozka, on the 10th of July and occu-
pied both places. The enemy's main
force retreated to fortified positions
northwest of Dalineye, where with
some machine guns a stubborn resist
ance was offered. Our army commenced
vigorous attack on the 18th and rout-
ed the enemy toward Mauka on the
dawn of the 11th. The enemy's loss is
not obtainable but probably at least

City Railway to Dodge the Meade
injunction.

The Topeka street railway and the
city attorney have tried new dodge in
the Meade-Third street controversy.
Mrs Emily Meade secured an injunc-
tion to keep the street railway from
building it's line on Third street from
the end of the present extension on
Taylor street to Clay because she
claimed ownership to a strip of Third
street between Clay and Fillmore streets
to the length of some 160 feet. The
street railway wants TO build It's line to
the city limits on Buchanan street and
it has been held up SO far. Now the
street railway finds that there is suffi-
cient room to the south of the conttes-
ed strip to put in the track and on Mon
day rackmen will be set to work build
ing. This will not violate the injunc-
ton since it does not invade the dispu-
ted territory.

TOO LATE TO SIGNAL.
His Train Cleared the Track of
Wreckage and Kept Rails.

Harrisburg, Pa. July 15.-Train No.
2S on the Pennsylvania railway. known
as the Pennsylvania flyer, the new 1S-
hour train between Chicago and New
York, met with an accident today a.
mile west Of Port Royal which fortu-
nately did not result seriously.
westbound freight train nearing
Port Royal tried to stop suddenly and
the engineer made too violent appIi-
cation of the air, the consequence of
which was that car buckled and was
thrown over the track on which the fly
made to flag the train but the break
occurred at time when the flyer was
due and the train plunged into the
wreck. The momentum threw the
wrecked car from the track but the
flyer did not jump the rails.
Engineer Calvin Miller of this city,
when he saw the obstruction on the
track jumped from the engine and was
hurt about the head and back. He was
the only one injured on the train. Fire
man Garman brought the train to a
STOP
The passengers, all of whom were in
their berths, did not know there had
been an accident until after the train
had been stopped for some time. They
were not even shaken up and none of
them were injured.
A wreck crew from Mffiin cleared the
track and Fireman Garman brought the
train to Harrisburg.
Beyond the damage to the engine
which was slight, and the smashing of
the platform of the combination bag
gage and smoking car the train was
not damaged. 1t arrived here at S:28
and left at 1888. two hours and 40 nin-
uteS late.

ALMOST A FATAL ACCIDENT.
DIR. G. III. Carson's Automobile Struck
by a Trolley Car Near Fairmount
Park.

Kansas City, Mo, July 15.-Last
Sunday afternoon at o'clock DR..
G. H Carson, and wife. with an in
vited guest, and DR.. F. M. Planck
who drives the big automobile, were
on their way to Independence, Mo. At
a crossing of the road and the Fair
mount trolley car line, the Automobile
was struck by trolley car going at
thrown from the autonlots.e by the
force of the collision and fell between
the two cars and narrowly escaped
being killed-his escape, by those who
witnessed the accident, seemed miracu-
lous-he suffered slight injuries. Mrs
Carson was badly bruised and shaken
up, and was carried to nearby
house and later taken back to her
home at the Temple of Health, 18th
and Washington streets. DR.. Planck
was uninjured although the automo-
bile he was driving was crushed by
the force of the collision and thrown
some distance. No one of the party
of four persons who occupied it at the
time of the collision was seriously in-
jured.
Since the accident the congratuIa-
tions of friends and patients from all
parts of the country are being re-
ceived by DR.. Carson for his having
ESCAPED what might have been a. fatal
accident Thousands of people have
been healed by him at the Temple of
Health, 18th and Washington streets,
of all manner of diseases during the
past twenty-five years. No man is better
known, throughout the country, than
DR. Carson, and few would have been
missed so much as he. His life work
of Healing diseases without drugs,
medicines, or surgical operations, has
seldom, if ever been equaled by any
other man in ancient or modern
times His work now seems greater
than ever before and his death by ac-
cident or otherwise would be little less
than a calamity.
