OF THE ORIENT, HEREl WITH DIS
YsrrNGUIsHED. PARTY soF BANK. :
tERs AND CAPITALISTS 1-.1-. ..--s.-
RETURNING FROM MEXICO
much Surprised at the Development
of this Country

r,---~-~a
A long special train composed
of seven Pullmans, a diner and a
baggage car pulled into the Rock
Island depot at nine o'clock this
morning from the south. most of
the cars bore the words mexico
and Orient. Z
The train carried a party headed
by MI. A. E. Stilwell, the presi-
dent Of the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient R. r., who were re-
turning to Kansas City after trip
of two weeks over the roads prop
critics in mexico and the South.
The party ascomposed of bankers
and capitalists from Kansas City,
St. Louis, Chicago. Indianapolis
and other eastern cities. James
Whitcomb Riley, the ''Hoosier
Poet was also member of the
party.
A STOP of about an hour was
made here. MI. Stillwell, when
seen by an Express reporter was
quite willing to talk, but mostly on
the subject Of railroads however.
He told of a stop made yesterday
at Knox City. Tex, where the peo-
pie were so enthusiastic that the
party was met with brass
bard and other demonstrations.
The party were the guests of Pres
ident Diaz, of mexico, who is
warm personal friend of MI. Still
we'll and who has done a great deal
to insure the success of the road in
that Republic. MI. Stillwell said
that trains are now being operated
between several points along the
line and that it would not be a great
while until through trains would
be running from Kansas City to
the coast. He gave no intimation
however that the road was coming
in this direction.
With few exceptions this was
the first visit to this part of the
country by any of the party. and
they were not slow to show their
surprise and appreciation of its
growth and development. They are
close observers and ask lots of
question.
When asked about the statehood
proposition, Mr.. Henry Eitel. Vice
President of the Indiana National
Bank, Of Indianapolis said that
having been so much interested in
their trip that they had hardly had
time to give it much thought, or
keep up the doings Of Congress,
but by what they had seen during
the trip through the territories we
were surely entitled to statehood,
and he thought most of their peo-
pie were of the same opinion.
MI. Stillwell and the party travel
in splendid style. The special train
is a Waldorf-Astoria on wheels
with none of the comforts and con-
veniences lacking, not even the
music, the parlor car being pro-
vided with a piano and organ. The
party left at ten O'Clock for Enid
and Wichita.

The most recent experiment in mu-
nicipa1 ownership in New York city,
the running of municipal ferries, has,
according to reports, proved success.
The people are getting better and
quicker service, and so far none Of the
anticipated evils of city ownership
have developed. The result has been
an increasing population for the Dor
ough of Richmond and corresponding
increase in the taxable value of that
borough, which helps the whole city.
Since.th day the city took over the
Staten Island ferry there has been q
steady increase in receipts. The gain
in the last four months prior to and
including June was $4,000. The total
receipts. from Oct. Is Of last year to
June 80 Of this year were $363,287. No
report Of expenditures accompanied
this, but there is statement that the
ferries have been run on business prin-
ciples and with the same care which
a private concern would give to the
business.
The success Of the ferry has embol-
dened the people to demand that the
citv take over and improve the poor
trolley service in Richmond, the ferry
being but one link in the chain Of COM
| munication between the island and
| Manhattan.

ADJUSTMENTS
Unluue-PoIIte Vaudeville.

Graceful execution which takes away
all suggestion of effort, makes the act
of the six Tossing Lavallees," presented
at the Unique this week, one Of the best
Of it's kind. Tho the feats performed by
this sextet are Of the most difficult order,
they are SO we'll done that they seem to
be extremely, simple and the act lacks
that element Of strain which mars so
many of the athletic stunts presented
upon the vaudeville stage.
In the remainder Of the program Ray
mond and Clark make good as comedy
sketch artists Of the rapid-dre order.
Their jokes are, in the main, new, and
their songs are undeniably clever. The
act would be greatly improved by the
omission Of the final song, which is its
only coarse feature. Miller and Edwards
sing we'll and their costume changes add
much to the attractiveness of their act.
Arthur Lane, The Buster Brown Com
edian," is highly amusing.
In "CelIeen BaWn" Herman La Fleur
has sentimental song considerably su-
perior to the average and one which
Is well fitted to his voice. The pictures
which illustrate this song are particu-
larly pleasing The motion pictures show
ing the college boat races at Poughkeep
sic are mighty good and the comic pic
lures which follow them are laughable
