Joplin viii be in Topeka to 'shut the
gates
A week from today the schedule as
adopted yesterday will be formally
given out for publication It holds
no very great changes from the one
adopted several weeks ago, and which
was dropped because some of the
papers over the circuit printed it be-
fore the Kansas City newspapers got
chance Some few kicks had also
been registered against it and these
were remedied in the revised version
made up yesterday. Topeka has a
mighty good thing OF it then; now it
is still better. I'VE are not suffering

previous Sunday, the Miners will be

Cooley signed up "speck' Hurlburt.
