Automobile Run From Coast to Coast
Making Fast Time.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Haying already
reduced the transcontinental record by
fourteen days, and with every prospect
of bringing down the F'risco-New York
mark from thirty days to fourteen
days, L. L. Whitman and Z. S. Carris,
In charge of 80 horse power Frank

from San Francisco was made August
and the. run to Chicago. by way of
the Union Pacific route, through
Wyoming, was made in eleven days.
With Whitman and Carris are c. B.
Harris and two mechanics. Bates and
Daily. Three of the men occupy the
car at a time, the other two pushing on
to the meeting point by train. The
car is running day and night, the men
who ride by train devoting their time
to sleep.
Nebraska mud and hard going
through Iowa delayed the Franklin,
which was expected to reach Chicago
Sunday night. The only difficulty en-
countered yesterday was one puncture.
Tinkering with spark plugs has been
the chief repair work which the ma
chanics have been called upon to do.
The record which the party is at
tempting to break was esta blished by
Whitman and Carris in a u horse

viously established a record for the run
in an Oldsmob bile. The speedy time
this trip is attributed to the fact that

THE WORK AT FORT RILEY.
We're Special Instructions in Artillery
Firing Yesterday.

Fort Riley. Kan. Aug. 15.-The first
work in the second period at the camp
of instruction was done by the regular
cavalry and infantry organiza tons in
the problem of dispositions for security
and information of troops on the march
The artillery work was done by the
Second. Twenty second and Twenty
ninth batteries of field artillery repre-
senting the Fourth battalion. The bat
talon had firing for target practice
from Sheridan heights with the targets
placed about three miles north in the
vicinity of Morris hill
The officers and men of the other
organizations in the camp watched the
firing and had the new guns and the
new methods of firing explained to
them. The Arkansas regiment had in
fantry battalion drill. The Arkansas
regiment is having work of a progress
sive nature that will terminate in a
maneuver with the regulars the last Of
the week.

ing compartments of the cars making
up the headquarters special and a-lot
Of all sorts of interesting history or
the civil war which has never been
instance one veteran told an eager
listening lot of friends that some one
else had told him that Sheridan had
said, after his successful march
through the Shenandoah, that he
could have easily marched on to
Richmond and destroyed it. but he did
not do so because he did not wish to
deprive Grant of the honor Of secur-
ing the surrender of the confederate
capital. Thus a new fact in history
was revealed.
Received at the Depot.
When the headquarters special
reached Minneapolis, a large delega-
ton of the local reception committee
was on hand TO lend willing aid. They
had a local drum corps with them
which led the parade from the station
to the Kansas headquarters in the
Brunswick hotel. Following this drum
corps came Captain Coney and his
STAFF, then the members of the Modoc
club, the Kappa Gamma band of Clay
Center. the Lincoln Post Drum corps.
and then the rank and file Of the vet
Grams. AS the parade wound its way
through the principal business streets
OF the city to the hotel. there were
cheers upon cheers for Kansas from
the crowds of people who lined the
streets. Captain Coney reviewed the
parade when the hotel was reached
on the arrival at the hotel it was
found that Kansas headquarters had
already been established in a cOmmo-
dious suite of rooms on the first floor
by F. P. Cochran, ]. NJ Miller and
H. X. Devendorf. of the Kansas G. A.
R. headquarters staff. and they report
ed to Captain Coney that there was a
strong sentiment for his election to
tie national commandership among
those veterans who had already ar
rived.
Captain Coney has little to say
about his chances for success.
Candidacy Isn't Personal.
My candidacy is in no sense a per-
sonal one" he said. ct is a fight on
the part of the veterans of Kansas
for recognition which they believe Is
due them. Things are now looking
hopeful for success. but it is hard to
tell what may happen. The election
is four days away and there may be
unlocked for developments by the
time it occurs. I believe. however,
that Kansas is way ahead in the con-
test at the present time"
Three other special trains from
Kansas reached town during the late
afternoon and evening and any number
Of Kansans arrived hourly on regular
trains. 1t is believed that between
four and five thousand veterans of
Kansas will attend the encampment
and as many more of their relatives
and friends. as we'll as other people
in the state who will take advantage
of the low rates to visit the Twin
cities

fusion of flags and red, white and

COOPERATIVE COAL NINE.
Atchison Directors Making an Effort
to Keep Plant Going.

Atchison, Aug. ia cooperative
proposition has been made to the en-
ployes of the Atchison coal mine by the
directors. They are offered the entire
product of the mine for thirty days,
less coal sufficient TO operate the boilers
In addition the directors will pay them
a bonus Of $50 day under an agree
ment that the men shall work as hereto
fore under the direction of Superintend-
ent Ogilvie. The proposition is being
considered. In the event it is accepted
a strong effort will be made to raise
money to drive the south and east en-
tries by separate force of men at a
cost of $11. 600 With these entries ex-
tended, it is believed that the output of
the mine can be increased sufficiently
to make possible the operation Of the
mine at a profit One trouble all along
is that the company hasn't had suffi-
cient funds to drive these entries and
