Be Better One
MAKES ANOTHER TRIP TO-DAY
For More Thorough Investigation Of
tho Route Engineer kiIIey Makes a
Second Trip Over the Proposed
Right Of Way--couId Get Around
Engineering Problems.

1t is the opinion of e.. G. Killey, the
Browne. who has been making surveys
of proposed interurban routes out OF
this city for several weeks that the
proposed interurban line Of railway to
Melbourne, via LlMoille. would be
much more feasible, and more favor
able in every way, than via Luray.
Mr.. Killey believes, after going over
the proposed route once, that the line
via LaMoile would tap much better
farming territory, and would accom-
modate a larger population. The
country near Luray is quite rough in
places. and as this is not true on the
LaMoille route. Mr.. Killey considers
LaMoille route.
In order to make a more thorough
investigation of the newly proposed
route, Mr.. Killey made a second trip
over the road today between LaMoille
and Melbourne In Mr.. Killey's judg-
ment Mr.. Browne will undoubtedly or
der this survey.
There will be few engineering
problems to solve on the LaMoille route
but in Mr.. Killey's opinion they can be
overcome with but little difficulty. One

Local Comment

People owning land in the Andrews
claims of the heirs of William j. Asher.
The proposed litigation looks very
much like an effort to round up lot of
heirs and get them to chip in to pro-
vide fees for some lawyers. This game
is continually being worked all over
the country. More often the estate"
is located in some far off country, and
the heirs are rounded up by the en-
terprising agent, who leads them on
by stimulating their hopes and in the
end fund is raised to push the case,
which fund the promoter gets for his
trouble. Lawyers know how common
are instances of this kind. Newspaper
men see accounts of them IN the press
almost every week.
If the Times Republican had more
faith in Mr. Pierce's sincerity, his con-
tention as to the extension Of the fran
'chise would receive more thought.
else may be said of him, and he has
voiced the contention OF an opposition.
AS to the per cent tax it would seem
that if Browne buys the local plant and
builds to Melbourne, we can we'll afford
to give him the amount Of the tax ana
take our chances with him on the fu-
ture. If he runs the local plant and an
electric line to Melbourne, it is a moral
certainty the line will go on to Des
Moines. When that is; done, Browne
will be better able to build in some
other direction than any other man
could be, and the nearer we can push
him up to financial possibility, the
sooner will we get the roads. Our own
citizens had per cent tax here and
in Grundy Center, a right f-way and
a survey, and then could not get the
money with which to build. Mr.. Browne

gin & Belvidere electric road, and who

Botkin often held court with a Win
chester rifle across his knees or at his
elbow. That was in the days of the
county seat fights when the shedding
of human blood was expected at any
moment. Now everything is peaceful
and a judge of the district our is no
more liable to violence han he is in
Shawnee or any of the eastern dis
tricts.
The district is composed of the coun-
ties of F1npey, Kearney, Hamilton,
Haskell, Grant, Morton, Stanton, Stew
ems and Seward-every one safely Re-
publican. The Democratic nomination
was therefore not eagerly sought for.
1t was supposed that a domination was
equivalent to election. The nomination
of Robert Hopkins of Garden City,
who had i've in the country for 25
years, had served in the legislature and
as county attorney of Finney county,
by the Republicans did not increase
the confidence of the Democrats. Ac-
cOrding1y when q young aWyer who
had lived in Garden City only a year,
came forward and offered himself as
q sacrifice IN the Democratic altar his
services were accepted When he an
nounced that he intended to win at the
election the veterans smiled, winked at
each other and said that he was very
young and did not understand the
ways of western Kansas. But ThOmp-
son is long on enthusiasm and when he
started to circulate in his district the
people began to wake up. He met ev-
cry voter he could reach. Then he did
an unheard of thing. He prepared a
statement giving his position on public
questions and inserted it as a nadver-
tisement in every paper in the district
Republican as we'll as Democrat.

was as follows:

MANY EFFECTIVE COMBINATIONS
ARE POSSIBLE.
Entire Suit of This Popular Material
Looks Well Only on Slender Wo-
man-Trimming and Accessories
Are For Her Plump Sister.

Plaids are in vogue once more, but
they are pre- -eminently the privilege
of the slender woman. They are also
more becoming to youth than middle
age.
The thin woman can wear an entire
plaid suit. The stout woman must
employ the plaid as trimming or in the
form of carefully planned accessories.
The large plaids of decided pattern
and coloring must be made up without
trimming, and on simple lines. The
small, broken or clouded plaids may
be trimmed with velvet, broadcloth or
braid.
For street wear, the color combina-
tions in plaids show dark green, blue,
a line of purple and gold; dark green,
garnet and gold; dark gray, green and
brown; brown, green and robins egg
blue in hair stripe; dark blue, dark
red and silk hair stripe of pale blue.
For house wear, scarlet, pale blue and
gold; golden brown, Nile green or tur-
quoise blue, with white and gold,
golden brown, coral pink, white and
