Likes Location of Lakin Estate
For Site.

John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager of Rock Island Frisco rail-
road systems, has announced his will
ingness to cooperate with the citizens
, of Kansas in making the proposed
Kansas Semicentennia1 celebration
which will occur in the form of an ex-
position al Topeka in the year 1911, a
great success.
Mr.. Sebastian was a visitor at To-
peka this week. and while here he was
driven over the city in an automobile
with a party of local capitalists, and
business men who are Semicentennial
exposition enthusiasts.
The party made a trip to the Lakin
estate, where 1t is proposed to build
the exposition grounds. and Mr.. Sc
bastian expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the tract of land
III question, which he believes will
prove to be just the location that will
be needed for the purposes of the ex-
position.
The Rock Island-Frisco system, Mr..
Sebastian assures the people of To-
peka and Kansas. will do everything in
its power TO aid to the success of the
undertaking.
Mr.. Sebastian promised the pro-
moters of the exposition that special
daily suburban train service would be
established on all lines radiating out
from Topeka for a distance of hun
dred miles or more.
I'VE will make exceptionally low ex-
cursiOn rates from all points locally in
the state of Kansas which will be IL
effect during the whole length of the
exposition, said Mr.. Sebastian.
In connection with these excep-
tionally low rates. he continued, I'VE
will conduct a special train service and
the people from the towns cities and
hamlets along our lines in this state
may come to Topeka every day If they
so desire. The railroad fares will be
an inconsequential matter in the ex-
pense of their trip.
In addition we will make attractive
excursion rates from all points on the
system, no matter What the distance.

colonization in the southwest He re-
Gently returned from a trip to Europe
made in the interest of immigration,
and particularly to arrange to direct a
large proportion of the flow of settlers
to localities situated on the lines OF the
Rock Island ,railroad, If possible.
Mr. Sebastian believes that an expo
sitiOn at Topeka can be made to show
and resources of the state OF Kansas
and in addition the natural advantages
of the entire southwest.
While the exposition is five years in
the future the advertising which will
of necessity be done in the meantime
will have its effect on coloniza ton in
this section of the country, and the
whole work will lead UP to a great cllI-
minatiOn in a grand display of the won
derful progress and attractiveness of
Kansas and the southwest at which
thousands and thousands of easterners
will be educated to know the real con-
ditiOr of affairs in the west.

PEARY AT SIDNEY.
Will Leave the Roosevelt and Go on to
New York.

Sydney, c. B., Nov. 23.-F'1ying the
flag of the United States which had
been placed nearer the pole than any
other national standard, and weather.
beaten and disabled the Peary actic
steamer Roosevelt arrived here today
under sail and steam after 16 months
vain effort to reach the pole Though
not entirely successful the expedition
nevertheless got to 81 degrees min
utes north latitude or within 203 miles
of the Pole. The Roosevelt left Port
AUX Basque, Newfoundland. at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon and aver
periencing light winds and rains. The
ship came to anchor off the yacht
squadron pier, Though the hour was
early, the Roosevelt was soon visited
by the American consul and various To-
cal officials and an Invitation was ex-
tended Commander PeaFy on behalf of
guest Of tbs commercial body at BAN
quet In his honor tonight.
Commander Peary came ashore al
most Immediately after the steamer
came to anchor and joined Mrs. Peary,
who has been here for two weeks wait
ing for her husbands return. When
asked what he thought of the Sugges-
tion embodied in F'ridtjof Nansen's re-
cent interview to the effect that Peary' 5
latest experience served to strengthen
the plan OF reaching the Pole by drift
ing from Behring sea, Commander
Peary said he always believed there
were great possibilities in the drifting
theory for men, of the temperament to
stand Imprisonment for several years
in the ice. For his part he could not
adapt himself to it.
Touching the outbreak of the gale
which had unexpectedly come up in the
arctic and destroyed the ice bridge
Commander Peary said that the pre-
vailing wind was westerly in the arctic
region but it was not always of the
force of a gale. No person could an
ticipate the coming of a gale either in
the artic region or elsewhere. He would
not talk bout the Wellman-C Chicago
Record-H Herald expedition plans, as he
said he made it point not to discuss
the ideas of other explorers. The COM
mander said his immediate movements
were in doubt. He thought he would
pay off the Newfoundland members
of his crew at sydney, make some re-
pairs to the Roosevelt. get a new crew
and proceed to New York.
Commander Peary looks in the best
pointed at the failure to reach the pole
he feels satisfied with the advance act
ually made. Plans for another expedf-
tion probably will be soon made.
DR.. L. F. Wolffe said the health Of
the party had been excellent There
was no death and practically no sick
ness DR.. Wolfe said that he had not
the slightest doubt If the gale in the
early part of March had not occurred
the Pole would have been reached with
out difficulty.
DR.. Wolfe said he and other mem
bers of the expedition Intended to stay
by the Roosevelt until she reached New
York.

COLEMAN LOSES SUIT.
Judge KimbIe DissoIves Injunction in
Clay Center Light Case.

Word was received here today that
Judge Kimble has reversed himself in
the Clay Center bond case which was
on for final hearing in the district court
at Clay Center yesterday, and decided
the contention in favor of the city of
Clay Center dissolving the temporary
injunction issued to stop the sale Of the
Clay Center electric light bonds.
Attorney General Coleman, who was
one of the attorneys for the electric
light company, said today: Il under
stand that Judge Kimble has changed
his min. on that case, and decided 1t
in favor Of the city. It is the first time
1 ever heard of Judge Kimble changing
his mind. OF course this settles it as
far as that court is concerned, but there
is a higher court. and the higher cour.
will be given a chance to render a de-
cision in the case
The present contention is concerning
the validity of the proceedings for the
special election at which the bonds were
voted The council passed the ordi-
nance providing for the special election,
ordinance were both published in the
same issue of the paper. The attorneys
for the electric light company, Coleman
& Williams, contended that the pro-
ceedings were irregular, and enjoined
the issue of the bonds. In the argu-
ments for temporary injunction.
Judge Kimble held that the position of
the company was well founded. and
granted the temporary injunction.
Since that time. he has evidently taken
another think. for he reversed his for
rner ruling, and refused to grant the
permanent injunction

BAD GAS EXPLOSION.
Blew a Family Out of Building and
Destroyed $50 in Bills.

Independence, Kan, Nov. 2S--An
explosion of gas occurred at the plant
of the Western States Portland Ce-
ment company. at about 1880 o'clock
last night resulting in the obstruction
of one of the cement plant houses
known as No. 10 and occupied by
colored family. The explosion also
DESTROYED two house tents occupied by
a white man. The negro family lost
all their personal effects and the white
man all his clothing and $50 in paper
money
The cause Of the explosion was the
lowering of the temperature when the
regulator stuck. letting the line pres
sure through the main regulator into
the low pressure line. The gas was
thus permitted to accumulate in the
power house and the two dwellings
with the above results.
Mrs Ed Coker, her two children
and George Hi. all colored people
were in house No. 10 at the time OF
the accident. It is reported the force
was so great it blew them out of the
building. Ed Coker was not at home
at the time. Ed KimbrO, a negro. was
badly scorched while trying to save
some of the household effects.
Ed Woodard, white man, who oc-
cupied tent. barely escaped. His
tent. all his clothing and $50 in paper
money were burned.

Paris, Nov 2S.-The taking of the

state, in the mountainous regions Of
France, where an abundance of snow
has fallen is progressing slowly on ac-
count of the hostility of the population
which compels the troops sent with the

The church of Dirinon, near Brest
which had been barricaded for six
months was forced open at daylight to-
day by a detachment of cavalry, which
dispersed the clericals, who from a dis
tance chanted hymns while the taking

JOHN DAWSON NAMED.
Given His Choice of Places in Attor-
ney Generals once.

F S. Jackson. attorney general
elect. announced today that he had Of
fered to John Dawson. of HilI City,
Kan, the present special assistant in
the Office of the attorney general his
choice of positions in the states legal
department, when the new admins
tration comes in.
1t Is likely that Mr.. Dawson will
choose the position of assistant attor-
ney general, which position is now
held by Mr.. Jackson. This place
pays 1900 a year, and the chief duty
of the Office is attending to the states
business in the supreme court.
At present Mr.. Dawson is special
assistant, in charge Of outside work
and the collection of defaulted bonds.
His salary is $1,000, but 1t is known
that Mr.. Dawson prefers his present
work to that of the first assistant.
Hence there is some doubt which
place Mr.. Dawson Will choose to ao-
cept.
