Topeka has a new automobile club

all right, but it might not be pleasant

pedestrians hit, or the errors made in
turning at the wrong time.

THE CORN.


1t appears that corn has been dam
aged some along the middle part of the
Central Branch road. superintendent
Russell, who was over the road with
the Missouri Pacific special, says they
found corn fired quite badly between
jamestown and Beloit, and in spots as
far out as Downs, and even west of
there. 1t will make considerable corn,
but nothing like the crop that was
promised. Over the greater part OF
the Central Branch system, where they
have had rain recently, the corn is in
fine condition. Mr.. RusselPs informa-
ton was that timely rains might help
things out yet in the dry section. He
says there is nothing to report as to
improvements of the Central Branch
track, in addition to what he said last
Monday. At that time he told re-
porter that orders had been given to
put the track in good condition, and
that it would be done as rapidly as pos
sible. A few men have been put to
work and the force is being increased
from day to day.-Atchison Globe.

THE WORLD OF SOCIETY
BRILLIANT RECEPTION AT THE
WESTINGHOUSE MANSION.
Marriage Of Miss Miller and Mr. Bent
ley-Other Events
Personals.

Mr.. and Mrs. Westinghouse entertained
very handsomely last night for the dele
gates to the railway congress and their
wives, the reception bringing at least a
thousand persons together, most of them
worldwide travellers, whose latter day ex-
periences have certainly been enriched by
the resources displayed by their capital hosts
and hostesses. AS usual no courtesy shown
the visitors was of finer description than
this last one. The mansion on Dupont
circle so pleasantly identified with the
larger forms of hospitality, was flower
decked from it's very threshold. In the
Railways the effect gained by the LAVISH
use CT fruit blooms, dogwood and other
Towering branches was particularly pretty,
while in the drawing rooms towering bou-
quets of American Beauty roses found p.en-
ty admirers. An add ton to the capacity
of the mansion was the use of the back
verandas, where the canvas walls had a
flower lining of artistic beauty. Down its
rug-covered steps the guests passed to a
large tent, which was, however. so deftly
rugged out with a smooth floor, white drap-
ed walls strings of electric lights and
beautiful floral arrangement that covered
all gaps and made great vases of the three
supports along the center. that little hint
of its temporary character was even to be
thought about. Supper was served there in
perfect comfort and convenience and
band played in the corner for dancing after
the company was lessened about midnight.
Receiving with Mr.. and Mrs. Westing
house the latter being very richly gowned
in white lace and satin, a diamond tiara
and other fine jewels. were the Russian
ambassador, the German ambassador and
Baroness Won Sternburg, Baroness Mayor
des Planches for part of the evening, the
Belgian minister and Baroness Moncheur
and Miss Wadsworth. the attractive young
niece of the hostess. The Washington
guests represented most brilliantly the dip
lomatic corp and official and resident So
ciety.
