BREAKS THE RECORD.
Santa Fe Hauls Nearly $4,000 to G. A.
r.. Encampment.

But once before in it's history has
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe been
called upon to handle anything like
the passenger traffic that it has in the
six days from August 80 to September
on account of the G. A. r. national
encampment at Denver. From the
figures received by General Passenger
Agent Black the road has handled IN
those six days from points east and
south of Newton 1888 passengers,
daily average of 2,297-
"There is only one other time within
my memory" said Mr.. Black, "that the
road handled anywhere near as many
people during the same time. ana tnat
was in 1897 when the Christian En-
deavor held its convention in Califor-
MIA. At that time we handled some
14,700 passengers going west ana
brought back about 5000. Unusually
low rates were given for that trip and
from business standpoint guess the
road has never handled such passen-
ger traffic as we have for this G. A. r.
convention. Taking the travel on our
road as criterion. I think it safe to
Missouri and Kansas have taken at
least $1,000 persons to Denver. We
have had all kinds of success in hand
ling this G. A r. crowd and have so
handled our trains that every passen-
ger has had the opportunity to get
meal at a reasonable time at the Har-
vey eating houses along the line"
During the six days of the rush to
Denver four hundred and ninety-seven
cars were used on forty-two trains.
These figures are Tor trains made up
east of Newton. From that point west
it is safe to say that twenty or twenty
five more cars were used. The figures
for these cars have not been made up
as yet. OF the four hundred and nine
ty-seven cars used probably one hum
dred and fifty of them were sleepers.
It was only by the hardest kind of
work that the company was able to
furnish accommodations for the
crowds that wanted to go to Denver
and the equipment got so short that it
was necessary to send train after train
of empty passenger cars back from
Denver to Kansas City on August 80
and 81 and September and in or
der to accommodate the people.
Among the special trains handled by
the Santa Fe were one over the c.. H.
& d. to Chicago; one from Toledo and
northern Ohio; one from New Eng
land; one from Pittsburg, the Pennsyl-
vania headquarters train from Phila-
delphia; one from southern Illinois,
and one known as the Missouri special
which was made UP at Madison Iowa
A summary of the traffic on the six
days in question is as follows:

Work in Foreign Countries Is Being
Pushed Vigorously.

New York, Sept. Cone hundred
members of the International committee
OF the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of North America and their 45
employed secretaries, Is foreign secre-
tar1es at home on furlough and men
ABOUT to take their posts as foreign
secretaries are holding a conference at
Honxville, New York suburb The
number of secretaries in foreign lands
now equals that in America and $50, 900
was raised last year for foreign work,
twice as much as three years ago. New
buildings are rapidly being erected in
the larger centers of the far east, three
being promised by John Wanamaker
at Hong Kong, Seoul and Kyoto, Japan,
costing 100000.
The army department has rapidly ex-
tended into the forts and port stations
and throughout the Philippine. The
railroad department has grown from
197 to PIP branches and from $1,000 to
Il, 900 members, one road alone having
appropriated $225, 200 for buildings. The
extension of association building
throughout the south and the west has
been notable, the gain last year being
nearly So, 100000 in new property. The
state association raised and expended
$240, 900 and the international commit
tee $156, 900, the local association ex-
pending $4,270, 900 in their work. An
advance of more than 100 per cent in
membership in the past five years has
been shown in the Y. NJ. C. A. of North
America.

SAVE THE AUDITORIUM.
Being ShameIessly Neglected by City
Says Councilman Nipps.

F. E Nipps, chairman of the public
buildings committee of the city council,
believes that the Auditorium is not be-
ing taken care of properly. TT strikes
me-" said he. that we ought to have
some one look after that building. We
ought to have a young, live, strong jani-
tor. It seems to me that the same jani-
tor who looks after the city building
should be given the responsibility of
looking after the Auditorium.
LAS it is now the dog catcher looks
after it and he isn't there half the time
and the hall suffers. l was in there
just the other day and I noticed that it
is possible for any one that wants to
to get into the Auditorium. By going
through the city building and up the
second story flight of stairs you can go
right into the Auditorium It's the same
way down stairs. A door is open most
of the time from the commissioner of
elections Office into the Auditorium.
There is that great fine organ in there
with all that careless management of
the Auditorium. A vandal could come
in there and without any one knowing
it, so wreck the organ that it would
take months to repair it. not speaking
of the loss in money which the ruin
would represent. am going to do
something to protect the Auditorium.
T. ]. Anderson objects to the use of
the Auditorium for chicken shows and
other animal attractions. He has adj
dressed letter to Councilman Nipps
asking that the council act upon the
matter He says: 1.-The people of the
city have been to great expense in plac-
ing a splendid organ in the Auditorium.
This organ cannot be properly cared for
if the building is used for entertain
ments in which animals are exhibited
and it seems to me the time has come
when the council should by resolution
forbid anything of the kind. We have
the best audience room in the entire
west and the second best organ west of
Chicago or st. Louis and it certainly
should be taken care of and the Audi
torium confined to the use for which it
was originally intended"

WENT CRAZY IN PRISON.
Terrible Experience of an American
in a Panama Jail.

Detroit, Sept. 6.-Fred Walker, of
Pontiac, Mich, has been released by
the Panama authorities from an I'M
just Imprisonment, and is on his Way
home, according to information re-
ceived here. It is the conviction of
many of Walkers friends that his i'm
prfsonment was the result of per-
nicious activity of certain American
hnanciers interested in operating in
the Panama mining regions. Walker
was sent to the isthmus to superin-
tend and inspect mining property
leased by private interests in Detroit,
and before operations were well I'M
der way it developed the validity of
the lease had not been concIusiyeIy
established. Walker disappeared, it
is alleged.
He was finally located at a prison
in the mountains, eight. miles from
the coast, in the province of Vera
guaz. Here it is said he was submitted
to outrageous treatment, little food
being given him. Bugs and worms
crawled about the filthy dungeon.
The environment quickly told on his
mind and body, and before relief
came he became enfeebled and de-
mented.
When it was discovered that Walker
had been cast into prison an appeal
was carried to the U. S. consul at
Panama, and a demand made for his
release. The prisoner was carried
from the cell almost a wreck. He
was taken to Panama and given med
zeal treatment. His relatives were
notified and guarantee of expenses
for his return was cabled. The
whole affair will be thoroughly inyes-
tigated. Those most interested in the
case have their suspicious that the
mining people put him into prison to
get him out of the way and that the
move was intigated by rival interests.

HILLS ARE MOVING.
Advance Several Miles on Beds of
Lava in Samoa.

Honolulu. Sept. 6.-The steamship Sierra,
which arrived here from Australia, en-
route to San Francisco, reports large
volcanic outbreak on the island of Savaii,
in the Samoan group which is stated is
very extensive. The outbreak is ten miles
south of Matautu and has created a new
mountain to be estimated at 1000 feet
high.
The lava floods from the base of this
mountain a distance of several miles.
Travellers report that five or six hills are
lying apparently on lava foundation. Some
have advanced several miles from their
starting place, indicating vast molten
lava area beneath.
Ernest Neill and George Furlong, who
visited the scene, say that many million
tons of lava are being elected. The hills
are now moving very slowly and the lava.
is solidifying on the surface. This will
eventually stop their further progress,
which threatened such fertile territory.
The natives have held gatherings and had
decided to abandon the towns, but having
become assured that there is no danger
of loss of life, they are settling down
again.

myself at it,
What kind Of man was Captain
Bash?"
HE was a gentleman as far as I
know"
He Drove With Mrs. Taggart.
The major said that he on several oc-
casions went out for a drive with Mrs.
Taggart and then he never heard any
Vulgarity from Mrs. Taggart.
Major, do you know enough about a
cocktail to know whether it will intox-
icate or nOt?'
We'll, I've seen them in action sew
eral times
On the evening that Taggart and Bash
had the argument in front of the Tag
CART house on their return from the
drive on the Lunetta Newberry was in
the house. He said he heard the con-
Taggart after they entered the house,
but did not hear any slapping or
scrapping.
Emma testified that when this scrap
ping was in progress Newberry went
away without his dinner, saying, L
don't see how he can slap his wifep'
Newberry testified that this statement
is untrue. He did not make any such
remark, and that he ate dinner as usual
with the captain and his wife that ev-
ening, and that it was at this meal that
Taggart Teprimanded his wife for her
part in the affair. The major said he
would not take Augustina's, Emma s
or any of the servants word as worth
very much.
Mrs. Taggart was generally pleasant
to her husband. I never saw her drunk
nor smoke cigarettes he said.
IF there was any act of Improperly
on the part of Mrs. Taggart in Mantle
l wish you would state it to the court q
'I do not know of any improperly
on her part I think she was guilty of
being indisereet in going out with men
whom her husband had forbidden her
to associate with

BILE"
Harry Hamilton, editor of the Orr
vile Crescent, said on the stand that
Billy Taggart gave him an advertise
ment in a saloon in Orrville for dia-
mond ring which he had lost, saying
the ring was worth $500 and belonged
to Grace. Billy Taggart took the stand
and denied that he said the ring be-
longed to Grace.
Ralph Misch, of Orrville, testified of
talking to Billy in the postoffice one
day early last winter when Billy sald:
81 don't see why Grace don't write
Misch asked him why he was so
and he replied:
81 need the money"
A few nights later, at a dance. Billy
flashed a big roll of bills in Misch's
face and said:
81 landed her. Ralph"
Miss Rose Golf, who had charge of
the room work in the Hurd house at
Orrville in 1903, during the time Mrs.
Mrs. Taggart moved out she found
nearly a bushel of empty whisky and
beer bottles that were not in the room
when Mrs. Taggart moved in.
Frank Gardner barber, of Orrville,
told of Billy flashing a roll of money
in the shop and saying:

May Be Several Courts Martial When
Taggart Case Ends.
Washington, Sept 1.-THE war depart
ment is awaiting the determination of
the Taggart divorce suit now in prog
ress at Wooster, Ohio, before proceeding
to take military action in the case. Gen
eral Miner, whose name has been drawn
into the case by the captains attor-
neys, has preferred formal charges
against Taggart and a recommendation
has been made to the general staff by
the proper officers that an inspector be
detailed to make a thorough examina-
ton Of the testimony so far taken. The
general staff has simply suspended ac-
ton upon this recommendation until
the determination of the suit but it
will undoubtedly be approved and upon
the report to be submitted by the in
spector will hinge the departments de-
cision as to whether there shall be
courts martial and whether in such case
not only Captain Taggart but other
officers whose name has been drawn
into the case shall be placed on trial
