Most CALAMITY the business men are

which have interviewed since o'clock
of Tuesday.
The total fund has now reached
$10,1S2. The battle has not been won
by any means and the committee real
izing this is preparing to dig down
deeper in its own pockets and raise the
amount of their original contributions.
Il will be one of twenty men to
pledge $1,000, the last $1,000, this
means $50 for each man." said one of
the committee.

from one man after another seated

THEY MOVE TONIGHT.
Division Headquarters of santa Fe Go
to EmpOria.

C. T. Mcclellan, superintendent of the
Kansas division of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe. and Lloyd Stanley,
trainmaster of the same division, with
their assistants and clerks, will leave
Topeka some time this evening for
Emporia where the headquarters of
this division has been established, its
transfer having been made from To-
peka because the business of the di-
vision can best be handled at Emporia
which is the terminus of the cutoff
from Kansas City, a part of the di-
vision, and over which the great
amount of freight traffic of the road is
handled.
Mr. Mcclellan and Mr. Stanley will
take with them Office forces which
total thirty-four persons. The party
will travel to Emporia in q special
train of five cars and many OF the mar
ried men in the offices win take their
families and household goods with
them on the train. 1t is safe to say that
there are not many in the party who
relish changing their homes from To-
peka to Emporia, but railroad men are
a good deal like soldiers and they are
obeying orders without saying much
one way or the other, although all of
them agree that Emporia is the proper
place for the division point from a rail-
road standpoint

the ordinary amount Of excitement oc-
Cured on Topeka avenue between
Seventh and First streets last evening
about 9 o'clock inasmuch as the lives
OF children between the ages of nine
and twelve were endangered.
One of the boys, Earl Webb, had
been sent to livery stable by a
groceryman for whom he was working
for a delivery team and as he was not
due at the store for a, while he decided
to give his friends among the boys and
girls of the neighborhood ride. They
had driven around block or so and
everything was going all right until
the party drove by some boys who had
been sighted and had not received an
invitation for the ride. They began
throwing at the team and the driver
let go of the lines. without taking the
precaution to hand them to one of the
other boys, and jumped over the wheel
and prepared for a fight with one Of
the leaders Of the assaiIing party
The story becomes. confused from
this stage in the performance but at
any rate the team started to run at the
corner Of Seventh street and Topeka
avenue and made a wild dash down
Topeka avenue and was not stopped
until it ran into a telephone pole at
the intersection of First street.
As soon as the team began to run
the members of the party began to
disembark as speedily as possible and
averaged about one boy or girl to the
block. They made a leap for the
pavement and rolled like a ball as
they struck The seeming miracle is
that there was not one of them who
received as much as a scratch and as
fast as they regained their feet they
made a bee line for home. evidently
with the purpose Of proving an alibi.
A crowd of perhaps a hundred peo-
pie followed the course of the run

more boys either badly injured OF
killed
When the first one arrived at the
place where the team had colIided
with the telephone they found but one
