O folks Puffer feels well enough toward
folks; but he amt the faculty O sayin
so, an he's like a fish out O water in
sercietv. He amt mite O. small talk
IN him, an I'm full of it. He's one O
these unfort nit's who IS all hands an
feet in serciety; but tiggered it out that
he could get a seat in a corner at the
ball an not try to mix with folks none,
an get through all right.
But he come out fat-footed an said
he want goin' Said l could go with
MI an Mis- Hinty who live in our block
an who was goin'; but I didn't take to
that idee. A married woman naCher' lily
prefers to have her husband go with her,
to her taggin' along with some other
couple, an she ought to prefer the COM
p'nv of her husband to that of any other
man Lord pity them that don't! |

mine own. as 1t SAYS in a piece l read in
a book once-an' | have respect enough
for the rnerug ge relation to prefer my
husbands company to that of any other
man. even though he ain Venus in looks.
so I made UP my mind that I wa mt

Hiram Puffer. But | didn't jaw nor nag
him a bit when he vowed an declared
he didn't allow to go, nor l didn't weep

'''Tillv, no matter what Tom does,
don't you go to bellerin', thinkin' to win
him over in that way. Men have kind
of a contempt for a weepin' wife. They
think good deal more of a woman who
shows a little pluck an faces 'em dry

when PufTer give me to understand that

That night when Puffer come home to
supper he found as nice a hot beef-stew

it's a nice. hot, savOry stew with dump

AN ABUNDANCE OF CARS.
Railroads Are Experiencing No Trou
BILE in Handling Wheat.

Railroads Are Experiencing No Trou-
BILE in Handling Wheat.
The shipment of wheat has begun in
earnest according to the freight Of
ficials of the roads running through To-
-peka
The regular freight trains on the
Rock Island are being run through
here at night but now that the heavy
traffic is beginning special trains are
being sent through at all times At
present the Rock Island is having no
trouble at supplying enough cars to
carry all the grain presented for ship
ment.
The Union Pacific officials report
that they are handling the usual
amount of freight and are beginning
to send large shipments of wheat
through to eastern points. Probably
about one-hfth of the wheat which
comes to Topeka is delivered to local
grain dealers and millers. During the
last few years St. Louis has become
more of wheat shipping center and a
very large per cent. of Kansas wheat is
being sent to that city. AS yet the
Union Pacific is able to meet all de-
nands for cars although larger ship
ments are daily being made. when
the wheat is just sent to Kansas City
said one official today, 1--WE can send
the empty cars back in short time but
when the shipments are for eastern
points the cars are lost. We have a
string of empties going back to the
west most of the time

Southern Pacific to Install the
Staff Signal System.
1t Has Proved to Be Satisfactory
on the Santa Fe.
PREVENTS COLLISIONS.
Track Becomes Locked Upon the
Removal of staff.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

San Francisco, July 26-By the in
stallation of the staff signal system on
the mountain division of the Sierra
Nevada, the Southern Pacific will re-
move all danger Of a possible accident
on this line The staff signal system
has been worked for some years on 9TH
er roads. notably over the Ration pass
of the Santa Fe, and has given COM
plete satisfaction. The officials Of the
Santa Fe say that without this system
they would have been unable to handle
the traffic over the mountain Some
time ago Mr.. Agler, who was then
with the Southern Pacific, was sent east
with J. H Wallace to make an inspec-
ton of the system. and his report was
so satisfactory that General Manager
Calvin has decided to put in the staff
signal system on the road between
Rocklin and Truckee. This system
takes the place of a train order. and
the officials. in speaking of 1t, declare
that 1t is impossible for a collision to
occur with this style Of signaling 1t
does not mean that operators will be
done away with. for the operator will
get the signal at the approach of
trains, and there are three different sig
nails. One of the signals is for the ap-
preaching train to take the sidetrack
the second is to come up on the main
line and stop. add the third indicates
that the engineer can take out the staff
and continue on his way at full speed.
When the engineer has taken out the
staff, this locks the line till the next
station is reached. and he can put back
the staff. even when he is travelling at
a high rate of speed If he should re-
ceive the signal to go ahead. all that
he has TO do is to pull out another staff
and the line is locked until he reaches
the next station. The railroad people
say that the possession of this staff
gives a train absolute right of way and
is the only permit for any train to &C.

OIL FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Ottawa Thinks as a Fuel 1t VIII Be
Ahead of Coal

Ottawa, Kan. July 26.-The supplies
committee of the school board is con-
sidering the proposition of using oil for
fuel in some of the school buildings
this winter. The matter was brought
to the attention OF the committee by the
installation of oil burners in the Ottawa
mill and the saving in fuel there. D.
K Rfnehard, the owner of the mill
says the cost of fuel oil laid down in
Ottawa is about 70 cents for 40 gallons.
Sixty gallons OF the oil is considered
to produce the same amount of heat as
a ton of coal and at this rate the cost
will be in the neighborhood of 81. %. Dr.
F. c. Herr, the chairman of the COM
mittee on supplies, said in speaking of
the matter of using it in the schools
that he thought the cost for changing
the burners in the furnaces for oil
would be very light as most of the
buildings were fitted with steam fur
naces- IF the oil can be used as
cheaply and as satisfactory as is claim
ed, there could be a saving of over one
half the present fuel bill,'' said Dr.
Herr The committee will make a
thorough investigation of the matter
before August meeting of the board and
report at that time
The fuel bill for the schools last win
ter was about $1,000.

BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS.
Kansas City, Kansas, May Have a
Union Station.

There is a strong probability that
before the end of the year all the roads
that run into Kansas City, Kan, will
unite and build a union station. Ger
tain it is that the six or seven roads
that pass through the Kansas side of
the city will be required to improve
their facilities OF accommodating pas
sengers because of the Getty law which
was passed at the last legislature
AS the law requires that all pas
senger trains passing through Kansas
City, Kan, shall stop and that suitable
accommodations be made for pasSen-
gers, it is probable that the different
roads will build a union station At
present the depot accommoda ations are
of the very poorest and those wanting
to buy other than local tickets have 10
