PROSPERITY GENERAL
Notwithstanding the Stringen-

Leaders in Good Reports.

New York, Sept 30.-The salient fea-
ture of the week has been a tight draw
ing Of the cords at the money centers
of the world. At Lendon. which has
borne the brunt of the recent gold de-
mands, the Bank of England reserve is
down to the lowest in years and stands
practically at the minimum below
which, according to financial tradition
it ought not to be allowed to fall.
So far as the general investment sit
uation is concerned. the week has de-
VelOped nothing particularly new. En-
phasis has been placed in both weekly
and monthly earning statements upon
the great prosperity of the railway in
dustry. The sole exceptions possibly
are d few of the southwestern roads
and the decreases even here are due
chiefly to the fact that comparisons are
being made with the abnormally heavy
traffic o% the St. Louis fair period.
The finishing touches are being put
to the harvest season amid the same
favorable weather conditions as have
endured all along. Another week has
contributed further testimony to the
heavy buying movement in all depart
ments o5 the iron industry. The rail-
way supply companies are beneftting
as much as the iron and steel COM
pauies by the boom and the increase in
the Railway steel spring divisions give
tangible evidence of this. Holders of
this class of securities have as substan-
tial ground as anybody for expecting
good things of their investment

Tramps Resent Being Driven OF Rock
Island Train.

j. Davis, negro porter on Rock Is
land Limited train No. IS, was stabbed
by tramps late Saturday afternoon.
The train had just pulled away from
the platform of the depot, when Davis
ran forward to drive three tranps two
negroes and white man, off the blind

tramps, and i'm the scuffle was stabbed
iE the lest side. below the ribs.
He was carried into the waiting room,
and the train proceeded. The three
tramps ram toward the sand dip in the
city park, and by the time a squad Of
offiCers i'm the patrol wagon reached the
scene, had escaped. The officers di-
vided some of them going to North
Topeka and others going UP the south
river bank and the north side squad
captured the white man near the
Kuehne Preserving Works. The man
gave his name at George Hinton, and
denied having any part in the stabbing
ARRAY. He carried an ordinary pocket
knife. but there were no traces o. blood
on the blade.
Several negroes who claim to have
seen the stabbing. say that the white
man used the kniee.
Davis. the porter, was taken to StOr-
mont hospital by DR.. Mum. Rock Is
land physician. His injury is not con
sidered fatal
The negro who was stabbed is the son
OF Jeff Davis, the North Topeka negro

latest letter to the State Journal IS
dated from Plainf1elds Conn.

pleasantest little hotels in New Eng

and might say less intelligent, so far
as public affairs go, than the west. I
have been enabled to get many sub
scribers to my paper The Hatchet,'
published in Guthrie. The Hatchet
is to be national in scope but I Sc
3ected Guthrie as the place to edit The
Hatchet because the storm center Of
the battle against hell has changed
from Kansas to Oklahoma. Kansas
is disgraced by the rum rule under
Hoch but there are smoldering fires in
Kansas that will blaze to burn UP the
anarchy OF the rum trust QOulIldIOll
in the state.
when Kansas learns that the devil
will close hell sooner than a Reoubli-
can will close the whisky shops, she
viii have learned q lesson that will
save her. Elect a prohibition governor
if you wish to run out the whisky trust.
I hear of the disgracefu1 condition of
Topeka since Hoch is governor. He
had an opportunity TO show his loyalty
to a great cause but he has been weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting.
He will so on the shelf as another
traitor as Stanley and Bailey, I am
glad to notice that great progress is
going on all over the country in the
line Of moral reform and this means the
increase of sentiment against the sa-
loon. Rooseveltism has attained its
zenith and it is row on the decline.
YOU can't fool the people all the time.
I find the same dishonest officials and
traitors of the whisky trust here as in
the west, an evidence of anarchy. But

Calls Attention of Railroad Board to
Central Branch.

Webb MeNall of Gaylord is not sat
isfied with the progress of the work
which is being done by the Missouri
Pacific toward the repair of the Cen
traI Branch railroad. In a communi-
cation to the state board of railroad
commissioners he says;
''They have laid 56-Dound rails to
Ports, five miles from Downs. and the
track is laid on the old ties. Matters
have now come to a sudden standstill
and will remain in that condition I'M
til the board Cat the risk of your
lves). takes another trip over the
road. In front of the station at Gay
lord the iron is worn off at least one
inch from the rails. and Is in such
shape that a passenger riding in a
passenger coach when the wind is
blowing from the north or south, will
blow one end of the sunfiowers into
the car window, and in one instance
damaged the eye of one of the pas
sengers.
I'm order to show the board what
the officers themselves think of the
safety Of the road, I will give you a
copy of the order issued by the COM
pany to the engineer and conductor
on September L.:

PLAYED TIE GAME.
Topeka and HoIton Have Exciting
Football Contest.

Holton, Kan. Sept. 3O.-Before a
large crowd of enthusiasts who We're
kept on edge during the entire play
the football teams of the Topeka and
Holton high schools played an exciting
game of football this afternoon. The
teams struggled through two full
halves without either side scoring.
The Topeka boys outweighed their
rivals and were inclined to play rough
ball. What the Holton lads lacked in
weight they made up in speed and
nimbleness and they were able to hold
their heavier rivals though several
times they came near scoring. How
ever, the Topeka boys We're compelled
to resort to punting several times.
No one was injured on either side
during the game. When the Holton
team plays q return match in Topeka
the contest should be a good one. Ise.
who was a halfback on the Kansas
university team last year, has been
coaching the Holton team.
The Topeka team returned at 7:30
and the members say that they easily
/ outplayed Holton and were prevented
: from scoring only by hard luck

Santa Fe Blacksmiths Receive
No Orders to Strike.
Time Limit Fixed by National
Body Expires.
OPPOSED TO STRIKE.
That Seems to Be Sentiment il
Shops.
Question of Retiring From
Federation Of Labor.
TO STRIKE.

Although the 30 days are up In which
the International Brotherhood OF
Blacksmiths and Helpers were to de-
eide whether or not they would retire
from the American Federation of La
Dor or declare q strike in the Santa Fe
shops because of the bonus system,
nothing has been done in the matter.
At least this is the best information
that can be obtained from the black
smiths who work in the local shops and
as far as they know there is no imme-
diate prospect oS a strike.
It was about six weeks ago rhat the
Brotherhood of Rlacksuiths were told
by the officers of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor that they would either
have to sever their connection with the
organization or strike as it was against
the rules of the federation for any of
its allied bodies to work in
shops where the bonus system pre-
vailed The blaclzsniths were told to
make up their minds in the matter by
grace, stating that it was their impress
sion that the Santa Ee intended to
abolish the bonus system. The 80 days
were given them but their Impressions
were wrong for Third Vice President
Kendrick of the Santa Fe settled the
question of the adjustment Of the
bonus system the other day when he
was in Toueka by stating emDhaticallys
doing away with the system.
These 80 days of grace were uD yes~ss
terday but. as stated the local black
smiths do not know that anything has
been done in the matter.
Gus Bollette, secretary of Sunnower
lodge No. A. which is the local Santa
Fe blacksTHiths' union, said last
night:
I'VE have not received any order
from the Brotherhood to strike and
we certainly will not until we do re-
ceive orders. I do not know what the
Brotherhood has done in relation TO
their differences with the American
Federation of Labor. The officers of
the Brotherhood are in Kansas city
and we have not heard from them
one way or the other. The annual
convention of the Brotherhood meets
in St. Paul next week and, although
have not been definitely informed in
the matter. it is my impression that
the question viii be decided there as
to whether or not they viii retire
from the American Federation Of La
Dor or call strike
The prevailing sentiment among
the blacksmiths in the shops seems to
be against a strike and If one was
called it is not thought that half of
their ber-there are about fifty OF
them-would go out.
