vlNEWOOD IS CLOSED.
Cars VIII Be Run to Park This Week
However.


Vinewood park is closed for the sea-
son. Cars will be run to the park for
the next week for the benefit of work
men who are enclosing the attractions
for the winter, and for all who care to
60 out and stroll around, but the
amusement features the lunch eoun-
ters and the dancing pavilion are
closed.
The park closed with one of the best,
if not the best, day of the season.
About 1000 people visited the park
Sunday. and the attractions were well
patronized 's1
Mr.. Fowler. secretary of the Vine
wod Park company, said today:
THE season has been the best since
the park was opened. but we hope to
boost 1t next Year, do not know
what the additional attractions will be,
but they will pro baby be outdoor free
shows The theater seems to be q
losing proposition. It Is hard to get
people to stay indoors in a park. We
gave free shows in the theater two
years ago. but the people would not
stay more than ten minutes at time.
About $4,000 was spent in i'm
provements on the park last spring,
and 1t will be some time before we can
figure out profit and loss for the sea-
son. Mr.. Kelley, manager of the park,
is out of the city at present
c. C. Mathews manager of Hale's
tours. the carousel, figure and minia-
ture railway, says:
1.-The season has been a good one,
and the Standard company has made
some money. All the attractions will
be in operation next season. 1 may not
be here then, but they viii go on just
the same.
"An the attractions will be housed
for tn e winter with the sidewalks built
for the purpose, and it will take the
workmen a week or more to do the
work There is nothing to the report
that the Standard Operating company
will move its attractions to Soldier
creek next summer
When asked about the scent fare
controversy which has been carried on
between himself and the city railroad
company, Mr.. Mathews said.
This is the wrong time to stir up
anything on that subject. The scent
agitation should have been conducted
earlier. OF course the adoption Of that
rate would have been a benefit to me
and to the railway company As well
but it is a hard matter to make the
/ railway company see it that way"

HE ISN'T AFRAID.
Ed McGilIivray Legislative Candidate
Wouldn't Be Catechised.

Ed MeGillivray, representative in the
last legislature from the Stanton

peka today comforting with state COM
mittee officials. Mr. McGnlivray has
just been renoninated, and is about 10
start out on his campaign. Mr.. Me-
Gnlivray has the same opponent that
he had two years ago, S. NJ. Alexander
The vote two years ago was McGillIvray
100 and Alexander 81, which was there
fore a majority of 43 for McCillfvray.
4 am not tied up to any Of the SEN
atorfaI candidates, nor am I instruct
ed on the square deal issues. One Of
my political adversaries in the conven-
ton tried to put me through a catchism
on the floor Of the convention, but the
convention wouldn't stand for it. I am
not very much in favor of the primary
election scheme, though I do not think
that there is much danger of the east
ern part of the state trying to hog all
the offices. It would be suicidal policy
for it to do so.
1.-The population in the two counties
which I represent has increased some
what during the past two years, but
not enough to entftle Us to separate
representatives. I shall try to do what
my people want. If they express any
preference in the matter Of senator,
shall try to follow them out. I believe
that both Bristow and Benson have
many friends in my community"

Or. EVANS is AT HOME.
His Jurisdiction Won't Include san
Francisco

Dr. w. c. Evans. who has been pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church here for the past two years. and
who recently was appointed presiding
elder of the Oakland district Of the
Methodist church. returned to this city
Saturday night from California where
he has been spending a six weeks va
cation. When the announcement was
made of the new place in the church
which DR.. Evans is to I'LL it was stated
that he would have jurisdiction over the
rebuilding of the churches in devastated
San Francisco. It seems that this was
a mistake.
The territory over which DR.. Evans
will preside comprises the Methodist
parishes in Oakland and those in Cali
foTnia north of Oakland. but it does not
take in San Francisco In his territory,
however, are several churches which
were more or less wrecked by the earth
quake and which viii have to be re-
built.
Dr.. Evanr hopes to arrange his af-
fairs so that he can leave for his new
field of labor not later than Monday of
next week. It is likely that farewell
services Will be held by him in the
First church here on Sunday next. al
though no definite plans have been
made as yet for them.

BROKE INTO THE JAIL
A Mob Lynches Another Negro Near
Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept 24@The body of
Zeb Long, a negro, was found early to-
day hanging in the woods near East
Point, a suburb eight miles south of
Atlanta. Long was locked up in the
East Point Jail charged with disorder
~ conduct The jail was broken into
after midnight and Long was taken
out. The usual mystery surrounds the
affair. 1t is not known yet whether
Long was suspected of any connection
with any Of the recent assaults on
white women.
The local situation at noon today
seems more favorable than at any time
since Saturday night. The authorities
have dismissed and sent home all out
side militia companies excepting those
belonging to the Fifth regiment. This
leaves one full regiment in charge ex-
cepting that guards have been posted
at the hardware stores to protect them
from possible raids for firearms and
ammunition. The sale of firearms and
ammunition has been ordered stopped
All the saloons have been closed until
situation is the scarcity of negroes
usually employed about the city. The
telegraph companies are advertising
for white delivery clerks and the post
Office is experiencing great difficulty in
sending out special delivery mail Do
nestle servants are frightened and an
exodus Of large proportions of negroes
from the city is reported. The author
tiles, however, believe they have the
situation well in hand.

BAD. SAYS WILMARTH.
Fire Chief Tells of Difficulties at craw-
ford Fire.


Fire Marshal Wilmarth was seen by
a State Journal reporter this after
noon. We had an awful fire to con-
tend with, said Chief Wilmarth. "A
theater is the worst kind of a place for
a. fire to get started as there are so
many different places where the fire
can get started and where we can not
get to it. Under the balcony there was
a very narrow place which was full of
timbers and structural work where it
was impossible for me to get my men
and where we could hardly get q hose.
The inside of the theater was almost
all wood. too. in fact there Is not a bit
OF metallic work so that il was very
combustible and generated lots of
heat. People do not realize the extent
Of FIRE of this sort. They read ac-
counts of fires starting chemical action
but pass them by without reading as
they Go not take much stock in such
things. But a fire started by chemical
action as was the case of this one to-
day is one Of the worst there is.
AS soon as the explosion occurred
the whole theater was full Of flames and
the gas was burning in every place. It
was a well developed fire as soefl as it
had started. It is my belief that the
workman who was at work in the cellar
must have been trying to makesome sort
Of gas connection and when the ex-
plosion occurred left the gas pipes I'M
connected The heat that had been gen.
Grated was enough at any event to have
burst any pipe in the building. We
realized hiatt from the very first all that
it was possible for us to do was to keep
the fire confined to the theater. And we
turned all the water we could get into
the building. You may rest assured that
If 1t had been any ordinary fire We could
have stopped 1t with but little damage.

that we did very well to check it as soon
as we did,

uNIoN PAcIFTo AcTIvITY.
Big Contracts for New Union Pacific
Lines May Soon Be Let.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 24.-Railroad
builders believe that Lincoln WI be j
center of activity for construction work
for a considerable period longer than it
will take to construct the Milford line
and new yards Of the Burlington. The
belief is strong among men connected
with railroad building that before six
months passes the Union Pacific will let
a contract for the construction of n new
line from Omaha to Lincoln, and for the
construction of a line from Lincoln to
Stremsburg. Discussing this, a man
interested in construction work says.
With all this talk about the Union
Pacific buying the Baltimore & Ohio,
and with the possibility remaining that
this story may be true, the fact remains
that the Union Pacific wants nothing
else so much as a line to the south coast.
The north and south lines must Be look
ed after. When the new rate law be-
comes effective, and IS put IN full force
by the commission, it may be difficult
to get as good rates to the south
believe that within q year contracts will
be let for q direct line from Omaha to
Lincoln. and this. with the cut-offs that
are being built in Kansas, viii put the
Union Pacific in fair shape to reach To-
pexa and Kansas city through Ne
braska.

The Disaster Is Much Worse Than at
First Supposed to Be.

JelMco Tenn, Sept. 24.-The mayors
of Jellico. Tenn, and JeIlieo, KY have
requested the Associated Press to pub
lish an urgent appeal for the people of
the town which was practically ruined
by a dynamite explosion last Friday
The appeals says in part:
The gravity of the situation in Jel-
nco is more appalling than we at first
anticipated. We at first declined the
offers of outside assistance that have
come to US from all parts of the coun-
try, but now in view of the destruc-
ton that has been caused and the suf-
fering that has followed in the name of
the people Of Jellico. we declare that
contributions of money or other mater
ial assistance will be gratefully receiv-
ed Contributions may be sent to D. D.
Scott, recorder of the city of Jellico,

COOLEY SIGNS NEW MEN.
Landreth, Richards and Lands Sign
Topeka Contracts.

President D. G. Cooley of the To-
peka baseball team this morning re-
ceived the signatures of the three new
men Richards, Lands and Landreth
for the team of 1907. All three men
have been working with the White
Sox during the closing games Of the
season. Richards comes from Wame-
go and is a pitcher. He has worked
a little and pitched one Of the games
of double header last week against
Wichita. He has all kinds of steam
and a good assortment of curves. He
is very slow in fielding hunts and has
a noticeable lack Of control. However,
Cooley thinks we'll OF him and says
that he Is no worse now than Forces
ter was year ago. He thinks that
in the practice games next spring he
will show up well. Lands is a CATCH
er and although he is an amateur he
does we'll and his arm is good so that
with little practice he will be able to
get them to second in good shape.
Landreth IS an all around player. For
the last few games he has played in
left field. He is fast on his feet and
has several times knocked down flies
that looked good for extra base hits.
All the men are good hitters.
The White Sox left this morning for
Burlingame where they will play this
afternoon. Henry, McInnis. Downs
and Cooley did not accompany the
team.
