day which he will not soon forget.
Councilman Sinner went with
large excursion party over the Motif

coach loads of excursionistS reached
the summit of the mountain chain in
god shape. but they could not get back.
One of the trains got derailed and it
took twelve hours before the wrecking
crew could straighten out the tangle-
A little town eleven miles away was
the nearest point to get anything to eat
and the restaurants soon ran out OF
edibles. Most of the people had to go
from Friday noon until Saturday noon
without anything to eat
Councilman Sinner investigated the
crematory operating at Denver and the
disposal of the garbage in that city.

thoroughly solved in Denver, said Mr.
Sinner. There are q mum Der Of criti-

ATisrepresented.

Kansas City. July 28.@"Lotta." the
famous actress, assumes the leading
role in suit for damages brought in
the circuit court to recover $4,000
from S. Truitt. real estate agent In
private life the actress is known as
Annie E. Crabtree, and her home is in
Boston, Mass. Being possessed Of
good Judgment and business foresight
she invested many years ago some
money in two lots at the southwest
corner OF MCGEE and Seventeenth
streets, and she held on to them until
they became valuable.
It having been many, many years,
she recites in her petition since she has
been in Kansas City, she had no
knowledge of the value of her two lots.
and trusted wholly to the representa-
tons of Mr.. Truitt. She claims that he
represented to her that the property
was worth but $4,000, and, taking his
word for it, ordered them to be sold
The sale was made. and Lolita now
alleges that she has since learned that
the lots we're worth $4,000, and she
demands the difference, $4,000.

VOTE FOR THE MAN.
senator Benson Talks Politics at the
SaIina Chautauqua.

Salina. Kas., July Ex-senator Ben
son spoke here Saturday at the Chau-
tauqua on the subject of good poll
tics. He said that patriotism and love
of country is the only right rule of
party loyalty and that every American
citizen should make up his mind as to
how he should vote solely on this
foundation. 1t is no longer sufficient
excuse, he said, to vote a party ticket
because our grandfathers voted that
same ticket. Vote for the party. he
said, that does the best for the state
and the nation. and If you have any
trouble in deciding there is a good
old-fashioned verse in scripture to
direct you. by their fruits ye shall
know them.
He declared against the pass. and
said that there was no longer doubt
in his mind that 1t is a dangerous
evil. He stated that he returned his
passes while he was on the bench be
cause he believed that it was wrong
for public officials to use them.
He praised the work of the last
congress in the passage of the rate
bill the meat Inspection measure. and
the admission of Oklahoma, and paid
a high tribute to Senator LaFollette
and President Roosevelt. During his
stay in this city Senator Benson was
entertained at the home of Joseph L.

been known that wireless telegraphy is
easier at night than IN the day, but
that fact was lost sight of in the es-
adjustment OF that method Of com
munication in Alaska between Fort
Michaels and Nome, where it had been
found impossible to maintain a cable
owing to the ice movements and cur
rents.
Reports to the war department now
show that for the first time trouble has
been experienced in working the sys-
tenn in Alaska, and as the trouble was
coincident with the beginning OF the
continuous day north of the arctic cir
Gle, that fact is supposed to account for
the difficulty.
However, it is said that the Interrupt
ton has never extended over the whole
day at any time.

HIS ART HOBBY.
It Cost j. Pierpont Morgan More Than
$4,000, 900 in Three Months.

London, July 23.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan has paid more than $4,000, 900 for
paintings and antiques in the last three
months. So the best informed art
dealers assert positively. and they
watch Mr.. Morgan as a cat watches a
mouse. They declare that the ex-
traVagance of his craze for buying pic
lures and eurios during his European
visit that has just ended exceeded even
his cwn previous records.
Mr.. Morgan's costliest single pur-
chase during this visit was Sir Thomas
Lawrence's portrait of Miss Farren. .
For this superb picture Mr.. Morgan
paid the unparalleled sum of $500. 900,
just double the price ever paid before
for q Lawrence.
A correspondent today asked one of
the most expert judges of art works,
who owns one of the most perfect col
lections in Europe and who knows Mr..
Morgan wei. whether the New York
err really understands and appreciates
the works of art he buys. The answer
was
Mr. Morgan has neither taste nor
knowledge in art His acquisitions are
made in exactly the same spirit that
melted his countryman, Barnum, to
search for freaks.
He learns what is the best price
ever paid for work by the same
painter. and knowing this, orders his
agent to offer a much larger price for
the work he wishes to acquire

FREE sToRAGE OF GRAIN.
santa Fe Allows Ten Days Storage on
Grain Cons med to. Chicago.

Chicago, July 2s.-Action of the
santa Re road in giving ten days free
storage on grain consigned here over
its road will likely force other roads to
do the same thing. It not only is
great advantage to the shippers but to
the road itself. as it enables it to I'M
load its cars at once and then make
them available for Immediate use
Heretofore cars were more or less
switched to side tracks. often shipped
east and for a time lost to the COM
panx. We shall likely hear less of
car shortage because OF the change.

year 1906, $9,2S3,14 against $9.577 ,045 in
